"And we heard from our feline, loving customers that we should have something for their cats. So we found it, we developed it and it's pretty cool."

The aforementioned dog advent calendars were, indeed, a hit last year — they were also first announced on a podcast episode of "Inside Trader Joe's," where they generated buzz long before they hit shelves.
