Some people spend hundreds on their cats alone each year. Whether they spend it on the robotic mouse or bag after bag of cat food. After years with my cat I have learned that all of the glitz and glamor truly does not matter to ones pet. The only thing that matters is that one shows that they do love their cat.

 TOYS: Instead of getting some wiggly thing on a string that hangs from a door and only lasts a couple days I have found a cheaper version. Cats love any thing that makes a scraping sound and moves. Therefore, all you have to do is buy a bag of straws (the bendable kind). That's right straws that come packaged by the hundreds and will last your cats whole life and then some. All you have to do is run one along the wall in front of your cat. The scratching sound (this does not hurt your walls) attracts the cats and the motion of running it along the wall keeps them hooked. Another way to get a toy for you cat that requires less human involvement costs only 25 or 50 cents. The little machines that hold toys or candy when you enter a store and are a moms nightmare is what I am talking about. The ones that hold toys are the machine any cat owner should have there eye on. If they have any of the toys in a plastic shell, chuck the toy and keep the shell for your cat to hit around. Be inventive with these toys. My cat currently hits around a larger size dice that I got out of one machine. Another quick tip would be to ball up some tin foil and let them hit that around. Shinny and round is always a good thing.

FOOD:I have found that the easiest way and cheapest way to get food is from a large convenience store and to get the biggest bag. They cost about $11 dollars, but are well worth it. Depending on how many cats one has these bags can be known to last months. Well small bags only last around two weeks (these time ranges based on two cats well fed) Another thing is unless your cat would rather starve then eat cheap cat food go for the semi cheap. You want to find a brand that is not  just chicken because who wants to eat chicken for months. The expensive brands may sound healthy, but I find my cat is perfectly healthy on semi expensive. Plus, there is always the great deals that go along with many of these brands. As for treats, that I can not tell you cheap is better. They are after all treats. I can tell you the bags full are a lot better then the wet cat food and tuna. Plus, the bag treats make less mess because cats do not puke (from eating to fast) after eating the little treats in the bags.

If anyone has a question about any one topics that they are looking for cheaper ways to deal with please feel free to comment. Also if these suggestions are just not working I will try to help you out. Remember the best thing to give your cat out of all is love and the time of day.
