My Cats Monthly Expenses

July 3rd, 2008 by eL

It has been a while since my last update on my beloved cats Oh well, like every month, I will always go shopping for them. Yes! Indoor cats need food and accessories. Different cat owner will have different budget, it is all depends on how many cats and kittens you have. Since last 4 months I started to buy kitten food again. I have kittens now. So then, I’m buying both adult and kitten food. Here what I bought for July 2008.

My adult cats - breakfast, lunch and dinner with Blackwood Cat Food now. The big white pack you saw in the picture is Blackwood. It’s 24KG. I’m sharing this with my housemate. Cost RM220 for 24KG, so 12KG each = RM110. My adult cats ate about 10kg per month. So this month, they have extra

Since last 4 months I have a new born kittens, so I feed them with Royal Canin Kitten 36. Previous 3 months I feed them with IAMS kitten. But out of the blue, I saw Royal Canin Kitten 36 cost RM151 for 10KG. Almost the same price with IAMS Kitten (RM132 for 9kg), so I’m adding RM19 for 1 more KG, why not?

Now the important one, litter sand. Since I have many cats and kittens, I need cheap but good litter sand. I’m using Fussie Cat for like 6 months. I’m happy with the quality and price. The sand smells lemon! It cost RM20 per pack of 10L. In one month, I need at least 4 to 5 packs.

Then I brought 2 of my kittens for vaccination, bought Hi-Vita Vitamin Supplement, and Ilium Oticlean (for cleaning their ears), cost about RM80.

At the end of the day, my cats spend about RM430 ($132) this month. Some cat lovers freak out with that amount of spending just for cats every month. But boys and girls, there are some other spend more than me!

Anyway, I love my cats and kittens. They are part of the family. So why not?
