[Maria](RSPWF3LQ) was so excited to visit the pet store! She loved cats and couldn't wait to meet all the furry little friends waiting for her.

The store was bustling with happy sounds. Meows, purrs, and tiny paws pattering filled the air as [Maria](RSPWF3LQ) walked toward the play area.

In the play area, [Maria](RSPWF3LQ) squealed in delight seeing a group of kittens chasing a feathery toy. One of them, a tiny orange kitten, stopped to look at her.

[Maria](RSPWF3LQ) gently reached out, and the orange kitten curiously sniffed her hand. It let out a small meow and started to purr.

Soon, more kittens came to see [Maria](RSPWF3LQ). They climbed on her lap and played with her shoelaces. She giggled and felt so happy!

One of the kittens even fell asleep in her arms! [Maria](RSPWF3LQ) carefully held it, feeling its tiny puffs of breath as it napped.

The shopkeeper brought [Maria](RSPWF3LQ) a little bowl of treats. 'Here,' she said, 'you can give the kittens a snack!'

[Maria](RSPWF3LQ) placed treats on the floor, and the kittens quickly gathered to nibble on the delicious snacks. 'They must really love these!' [Maria](RSPWF3LQ) laughed.

It was time to say goodbye. [Maria](RSPWF3LQ) gave the kittens one last hug. 'I'll visit you again soon!' she said with a big smile.

As [Maria](RSPWF3LQ) skipped home, she couldn't stop talking about the kittens. She knew she'd visit the pet store again very soon!
