    TOYS: We just let our guys entertain themselves. Trixie's new fave is the good ol' Q-Tip.

    TREATS: Depends on if Cameron is dishing them out. One bag in ten seconds flat if he is involved.

    BEDDING: Ummmm.... my bed is theirs. Unless you count me needing a new comforter thanks to Mikey.
    LOL,

    I bought a flat of cat food 24 cans and it's on its last legs.

    I began to mix cheap wet food w/kibble....that has extended the wet food. A hand full of kibble mixed with a can of wet. Twice a day!

    They are gettting spoiled w/the wet....... If I walk out they expect to be fed and a handful of dry is met with an upturned nose!


    I do buy Ed bags of Meow Mix, the outdoor kitties get a handful tossed their way every so often! A bag of MM lasts about two months?

    I have bought three bags of litter in the last year. I buy the wood pellets which last much longer, the only problem is Ed pushes the pellets out on the tile floor and they hurt when you step on them.

    The outdoor cats crap where ever they want..mostly in my garden!
    I am his toy.

    Treats? A bag a week? Ed gets a mix- I put out fresh food into his treat bowl and mix in kibble. He has not found out yet.

    Bedding?

    LOL, where ever he falls down to nap!

    FOOD: I buy 3 18 pound bags of kibble once per month.

    LITTER: not sure. I just buy 6 every time it is on sale at Target. They sit in the garage and get used as needed. I have 9 out there just now, picked up 6 yesterday.

    TREATS: I forget to use them.

    TOYS: cats use dog stuff, dogs use cat stuff, we go through toys like crazy since March when Tasha arrived -- she LOVES to tear into them. Bobby now has a stash in the cellar, lol. He keeps rescuing them from her. One day I am going to hvae to clean off the top bricks all along the foundation!

    I can't find 18 pound bags of food anymore. The largest I can find are 16 pound bags. One of those lasts me about a week. I get my 40 pounds of Fresh Step litter at Sam's Club for around $15. One of them lasts me quite awhile now. I am still tempted to buy one every time I am near Sam's Club. No one uses the cat beds anymore. I have at least 5 that sit empty all over the house. Aroara used to use one, now she sleeps in a paper bag. Schroeder has never used any of the beds. I forget to give them treats. When I do use them, I only give out a few at a time. I have at least 10 containers of treats in the cabinet. I had to go buy new ones to find what kind it was that Schroeder would eat. I would shake treats. He would come running but wouldn't eat any until I got the Whiskar Lickins moist chicken and cheddar ones. Everyone else goes crazy for Temptations.

    Time helps the sadness subside, but the memories remain forever.

    Hmmmm....let's see.
    Food: A five pound bag of Purina One twice a month. About 60 cans of Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys (mostly) once a month.
    Litter: 2 -16 pound jugs per month.
    Treats: One large pouch of Temptations twice a month.
    Toys: Assorted bags, boxes (free), Q-Tips, bottle caps, toy mice. track with ball in it, and of course, the other cat. As needed.
    Bedding: They each have a bed that they actually use, some of the time. When they are not in their bed, they can be found on the floor, the couch, my bed, or on top of the refrigerator (Mac).
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    Well at the Found Cat Hotel
    A 40 Pound Bag of the Truly Clumping litter last about a week
    The 20 pound bag of the Feline Fresh about the same, and its biodegradable.
    They go through I would say about 21 Big Cans of Whiskas or Sophisticat Canned Food a week , Pates for My Senior Kittyzens.
    Plus a share in My Meals on Wheels from Janice whos a whiz also at making left over casseroles that are delicious.
    A conservative guess is about 1o pounds of Dry Food a Month, Iams, Science Diet or Purina Heathful Life as the kibbles a nice small size for again My Senior Kittyzens.
    And of course a share of the Meat Ends , I get some nice Deli that way for a reasonable price. I bought some nice Chicken Chunks last night for them and they loved it.
    And about 10 punds od Dry with Canned on top for My Porch Cats , they are always hungry, God Bless Them

    I am not sure but I know whenever I go grocery shopping there is more items in the cart for the cats than there is for me! The clerks look at me and I know they are thinking...crazy cat lady.

    We do almost the same as Richard. 50/50 mix wet dry for breakfast. Dry out all day.
    -1 week, works out to 28 cans, about 20 lb dry, 40-50 lb litter.
    -The cat couch and all 9 beds always have someone in them.
    -The 2 trees are always inhabited.
    -The rest are on our, sorry thier big bed.
    -Toys on average there are 30-50 around the house. This ranges from balls, squiggles, mike rings, folded ciggeret packs (yes I have 2 that love the empty packs and will play fetch with them) and what ever is not nailed down.
    -Treats 2-3 pouches a week.
    -Batteries, under cover mouse and pointer 1-2 sets aweek.
    -Filters for the fountains 4-6 a week.
