Our cats come first in our budget! Do yours?

[kimlovescats]

Just curious .... but do you buy things for your home, yourself, etc... only AFTER eveything you can possibly think of that your cat(s) need? We sure do! Yesterday we spent $150.00 on a new / larger A/C unit for our converted garage / kitty room. We're also trying to figure out some sort of water filtration system to put out there to keep their water cleaner. The little Petflow things just aren't big enough for our herd!

It's just funny, how we list things that "we" would like to get for the house, or whatever .. then instead we come home with cat things! Let's face it, our babies come first!

IT'S WIERD, I TAKE SO MUCH GRIEF/LIP OVER THAT!! I COULD BUY STUFF FOR HUMANS TIL I'M IN DEBT, THEY'D NEVER SAY A WORD... BUT LET ME BUY KITTY STUFF & I GET LIP
LIKE I CARE, RIGHT?? I JUST BUY IT ANYWAY!!

*raises hand*

Right now, I'm considering buying one of those Ionic Breeze air purifiers . . .

For Josie's asthma, of course!

Just 400 to 600 bucks! That's all! LOL

[RedHedd]

Count me in too. I bought some new pillows for the living room yesterday, but I had to hem and haw and debate with myself as to whether or not the CATS would like them first, before I bought them. The jury is still out as to whether or not they like them as they're in THEIR sleeping spaces! Mishi is curled up next to one right now; Mitzi prefers the couch-top.

I am with you. I pick out all the fancy special food they like then decide on chicken or hamburg for us. We have kitty condo's in every room, but we haven't bought a new mattress or boxspring in years! Kids come first!!

[NoahsMommy]

YES!!!

I'll eat mac n cheese for a week before my cats go without anything they need!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Yes, my furkids have always come first. They're very spoiled and thats the way it should be.

Guilty in first degree.....
I think all true pet-friends are like this... .

[rg_girlca]

Guilty here also.

I will run out and buy more cat food if I notice I am low on it, but if the guys have nothing for their lunches, I tell them, "Buy something at the store, I'll do groceries tomorrow if I have time."

[catnapper]

Guilty. They always eat their good food, while we are living on scrambled eggs, PB&J, and Kraft mac-n-cheese.

[catmandu]

I will go,to the bargain section,and buy,the reduced items,for myself,while I would never buy,the Grocery Level Cat Food,for the Found Cats.It has,to be the Sciemce Diet,or the main food,for them,the Nutro Max Complete Care Indoor,or the Eukanuba.

[chocolatepuppy]

Guilty! While my cats, thank goodness, have been generally healthy, my dogs have cost me a fortune in medical bills. And the dogs needed a fence, of course. I do tend to spend more in Walmart than Petsmart but of course half of the stuff I buy in Walmart is for them! Like I always say, who needs new carpet anyways?

[rosethecopycat]

I think I made a good trade off in order to be able to foster cats.

I gave up what little budget there was for clothing. (no I'm not sitting here neked)

I buy all my clothes at thrift stores, (and I can get anything I want in there, no limit!) apart from underwear.

Don't tell my husband I would have probably shopped there anyway.

Still, it feeds a lot of cats.

[jenluckenbach]

Let me think.......

the cats go to the vet REGULARLY. I go to the dr. ONLY if I am terminal.

The cat food shelf is NEVER empty......the refridge on the other hand........

Generic brand foods for me, VETERINARY grade food for them.

2nd hand, yard sale or freebie furniture for me (except for our mattress) and MULTIPLE cat trees/condos/scratchers for them.

so I'd have to say. NO, I am more important than any silly cat. (LOL)

DID YOU SEE PARKER? MOOSMOMS NEW RESCUE. VERY BEAUTIFUL, PART TORTIE MEEZER.
ANYWAY, BACK TO THE SUBJECT, MY CATS WILL ONLY EAT HUMAN FOOD OR PURINA INDOOR FORMULA... FRISKIES, CAT CHOW OR EVEN PURINA 1, FORGET IT... VEGGIES, YES--FRUIT, NO... I TRIED TO TELL YA KIM, THEY'RE SPOILED BRAT CATS
