I was in the grocery store tonight, picking up a few items and saw a nice soft blanket. I thought to myself that "Lexi would like this."

I am single and have no children so Lexi is like my child. I spoil her to death and am finding that everywhere I go I see something I know she would like. Doesn't matter what store. I always seem to find something. Does anyone else do this?

That's how you know your cat lives better than you do!

I am also really bad for that, today I went shopping after work and when I went to check out I had more things for the cats then I did for myself.

I am single with no children as well and often refer to the cats as my 3 kids.

I do!
Any and every store I go into, I always spy some little goodie. My daughter's has asked me several times; "what about me, Mom"
You always find the kitties cute stuff!

I do things like that then they all ignore it or avoid it.
And then play for days in a gift bag.

Sure. With three kinds of animals (dog, cat, rat) in the house, I always come home with SOMETHING.


Tonight... baby food for the ratties!

I'm guilty too
There's just always something so cute..if I say she doesn't need it, my kids want her to have it anyway. They are worse than I am!

So, did you buy the blanket? hehe

I'm always thinking of my kitties when I'm out. I sometimes wish I could take them with me when I go out places.

I'm always thinking "Sho would love this" whenever I find a really soft blanket in a store.
I usually check the cat toy section of whatever store I'm in, occasionally there'll be something different in stock.

I am always buying the kitties something. When my kids were growing up I resisted the urge because I didn't want them to end up spoiled. Now I'm making up for it with the cats.

No!!!
I have so many blankets it's not even funny. Besides, the one she really likes is the ultimate plush blanket by chris madden from JcPenny.


Now tell me she isn't spoiled? Everything I buy, I take her into consideration. Will have to do that even more once I get a bengal.

I'm always finding something to spoil the kittens with. They are our children - neither of us want "skin-kids". So we are always trying to spoil our babies just like some people spoil their kids.

Yeah. Scott and I refer to them as our children. They have EVERYTHING!

My grandma gives me blankets for them every time I see her....so I haven't even looked. They have PLENTY. They love them too.

Seeing as most of my animals food is bought at the grocery store, yes! I am always finding things while out and about they would like or need.

A few nights ago when I was at my sister's house, my brother-in-law came home with a huge cat tree. I asked him where he got it from and he said "Costco, only $24! you should go get one before they're sold out!"
So what did i do? Took my nephew to Costco with me to get a kitty tree for the furries
but hey- i wasn't going to pass up that awesome deal!
