They were a franchised operation that had stores in big malls. There was one in Richmond Mall back in Ohio, and when I was a kid mom and dad bought a lutino parakeet there for me for a Christmas present. They also sold fish, lizards, etc. and - infamously - overpriced purebred puppies.

Di and Bob beat me to it. Miracle Grow 15-30-15 is water soluble and works great, and won't burn if used as directed. Give a good drink of water, wait a day, then give it the Miracle Gro. There's others, too, a whole galaxy of brand names.
Big Boy is still lively still lumpy still noisy and hanging in there. He seems to like the ipappy hyper T diet, holding steady for now at about 4-5 tins of canned cat food a day; some of it Fancy Feast others including basic canned kitty chow.
He’s commanding me to let him jump in my lap.
They're even getting them in Northern California, which I didn't think would have cicadas.
They're fun bugs for the kitties, big enough to have fun with, and full of surprises, including "joy buzzer" sounds.
