Glad to be part of your class. I'm going to try my best to keep the survey to my personal cats, but I do have 35 cats I'm fostering right now. (5 mothers and their kittens) not sure if that tidbit is important to the research or not.

Cat Owner Questions

1. How many cats do you have? 3

2. How many people are in your household? Me and my Boyfriend in the basement apartment with his father in the spare bedroom. His mother has the upstairs apartment to "her self" and my boyfriend's uncle rents the garage which has been converted to a studio.

3. Why did you decide to get a cat? They needed a home, and I had both room in my house and in my heart.

4. Do you consider your cat a family member? Very much so, my cats are like my best friends. They sleep on my bed too.

5. Where do you shop for your cat necessities (food, toys, and treats)? We buy a brand of food that is made by a woman in our cat rescue group, both our forevers and our fosters eat this. I also buy some cans from the local grocery sometimes. Toys are usually donated to the rescue, sometimes we pick up a few at petsmart, or make our own. I use pounce treats to train my Milo.

6. How much do you spend monthly on cat necessities? Depends on how many cats are in the house and how much they eat.

7. Do you dress your cat in clothes or adorn it with pretty collars? Only Milo has a collar, but that is because the other people in the house can't tell him apart from Oliver sometimes.

8. What makes you choose the cat food you buy? We're helping to support the rescue group.

9. How many times a year do you take your cat to the vet? They're all still young, and in good health so no reason for regular visits-- but they have all been altered and get their shots regularly through the programs the CNY Cat Coalition offers.

10. How much do you spend yearly on vet visits? N/A

11. Do you believe in spaying/neutering your cat? And every other unaltered cat I can get my hands on.

12. Do you have your cat groomed? I groom them myself.

13. Are you a vegetarian? Nope, I'm a homo sapient, we're designed to be omnivores.

14. List your top 4 TV shows: Chuck, Heroes, Ghost Whisperer, Dollhouse

15. Do TV commercials affect what brands of cat food you buy? Nope.

16. If you were to adopt/rescue a cat, what would be your reasoning behind doing so? Well since I do rescue I'll answer as to why I do that:

There are far to many homeless, abandoned and unwanted cats-- If we alter one pair, that is one male and one female cat a year, that's 2 litters of kittens a year that are prevented from living feral, two litters a year that won't be thrown out of a house, two litters a year that can make room for the already born and here cats who need homes. We (my boyfriend's mother mostly) schedules say on average 10 females and 5 males a week for altering, that is a lot of unwanted kittens prevented. I choose to foster expecting cats and queens with kittens because I can alter both mom and babies and prevent a new generation of unwanted cats from being brought into the world.

17. Do you let your cat sleep in bed with you? Oh yes.


18. Do you let your cat roam wherever they want in your home? everywhere but the bathroom


19. What do you value most in life? Life itself.

20. What is your favorite movie genre? I don't have a specific genera, I appreciate a well written & acted movie no matter what genera-- but if I had to choose one it would be sci-fi/fantasy

21. Are you Male or female? Female

22. What is your age? 21

Well, here goes!

Cat Owner Questions
1. How many cats do you have? I'll go by my current household. We have two, 1 is mine and my partners, the other my in laws. Most of my answers will reflect our cat though...

2. How many people are in your household? 4


3. Why did you decide to get a cat? (example: companionship) Well... My in laws cat was already here when I came, and my mother in law likes cats and they like her. (She could tame any stray I've heard- and did.) Bastet wandered in one day, and well... We didn't decide. She did.

4. Do you consider your cat a family member? Yes. She's an unruly teenager mixed with a toddler.

5. Where do you shop for your cat necessities (food, toys, and treats)? The local supermarket. Food, litter, all in one place. Toys... not so much buy. More make. A cardboard box tube and a ball of tinfoil. Wool with a knot in the end. She seems to get bored less quickly with home made toys.


6. How much do you spend monthly on cat necessities? I have no clue. I've been too scared to count.

7. Do you dress your cat in clothes or adorn it with pretty collars? If I ever did that, I'd get my face scratched off. She didn't mind the light Christmas cloak though. And surprisingly her first collar.

8. What makes you choose the cat food you buy? What's in it. We don't buy just one brand. The Homebrand tuna and whole fish actually are what they say they are, and the rest is whatever's on special that she likes. Generally fishy for some reason.


9. How many times a year do you take your cat to the vet? In all honesty... Bastet has never been to the vet. The other cat goes for vaccinations and the like, but Bastet hasn't gone as yet. We kept her quarantined when we found her, syringe (no needle!) fed her milk until we realised she was on solids at 4 weeks, and as she displayed no signs of sickness.... She's going in a few weeks for her first trip though. Vaccinations, desexing and microchipping. Indoor cat. Won't even leave the porch with you.

10. How much do you spend yearly on vet visits? See above.


11. Do you believe in spaying/neutering your cat? Yes. If you do not plan to breed your cat, and therefore take the necessary precautions, get them desexed. We got given a cat once, who was supposed to be desexed, and we realised in the last few weeks of pregnancy she wasn't. She went insane and two of her kittens died because she didn't look after them and we didn't realise in time. We nearly lost a third. It's much kinder to prevent it.


12. Do you have your cat groomed? I brave life and hand trying.


13. Are you a vegetarian? Used to be.

14. List your top 4 TV shows:

House
Star Trek
Stargate
Family Guy



15. Do TV commercials affect what brands of cat food you buy? Nope. I don't watch TV. Season box sets for the win!



16. If you were to adopt/rescue a cat, what would be your reasoning behind doing so? Well, we kinda did. And it wasn't our decision. And I think that kind of settles it :p

17. Do you let your cat sleep in bed with you? My cat at my mothers did, and I miss that, but Bastet's still very young, and the room is full of so many interesting and noisy things....


18. Do you let your cat roam wherever they want in your home? Pretty much. She gets locked in the hallway if she tries too hard to help with cooking though. (Foooooooooooooooooood!)


19. What do you value most in life? Those around me.


20. What is your favorite movie genre? Sci fi / Fantasy

21. Are you Male or female? I am female.... for the moment. :p


22. What is your age? Early to mid 20's

because I've found reading other answers quite interesting, I decided to answer it myself


Cat Owner Questions
1. How many cats do you have? 3

2. How many people are in your household? 4, 2 adults, 2 children


3. Why did you decide to get a cat? (example: companionship)
I have always loved cats since childhood. I enjoy their companionship, attitudes, independence in the sense that I could go away for a weekend and the cats would be fine.

4. Do you consider your cat a family member? of course

5. Where do you shop for your cat necessities (food, toys, and treats)?
Walmart, PetValue, PetsMart


6. How much do you spend monthly on cat necessities? probally about $20, but honestly I have not kept track.

7. Do you dress your cat in clothes or adorn it with pretty collars? no. They all have collars tho.

8. What makes you choose the cat food you buy? the ingredients in it, whether it agrees with kitties tummies, and the price

9. How many times a year do you take your cat to the vet? depends on whether there's a concern. If no concern it would be once a year for routine checkup and vaccines if needed, flea meds.

10. How much do you spend yearly on vet visits? again, it depends on the health of the cat. My one cat whom I got with health issues, I've spent at least $500 on, and he hasn't had all his shots yet. The kittens will go in for shots, deworming and initial checkup. So this year, probally $1000 once all is said and done (health issues, neutering, vaccines) Without any health issues, vet would only be about $100/yr


11. Do you believe in spaying/neutering your cat? definately


12. Do you have your cat groomed? no. I brush them myself


13. Are you a vegetarian? no

14. List your top 4 TV shows: CSI, Criminal Minds, Law and Order SVU, NCIS

15. Do TV commercials affect what brands of cat food you buy? not at all. I research then buy.

16. If you were to adopt/rescue a cat, what would be your reasoning behind doing so? because they need a good home.

17. Do you let your cat sleep in bed with you? yes


18. Do you let your cat roam wherever they want in your home? yes, with the exception of my snake room.


19. What do you value most in life? family


20. What is your favorite movie genre? action/drama

21. Are you Male or female?female

1. How many cats do you have? 2

2. How many people are in your household? 2

3. Why did you decide to get a cat? (example: companionship) Because I love cats, and I missed my parent's cat.

4. Do you consider your cat a family member? Of course.

5. Where do you shop for your cat necessities (food, toys, and treats)? I get their food, treats and toys from Skipton's, a local pet store, and I get their litter from BJ's.

6. How much do you spend monthly on cat necessities? 100$-200$

7. Do you dress your cat in clothes or adorn it with pretty collars? No clothes, Maddox has a skull collar, but he hates it, so I don't make him wear it.

8. What makes you choose the cat food you buy? I feed Maddox a raw diet and a little organic dry food because of the research I did and various reviews I've read. Matty was eating dry food from the dollar store when he was with the people I took him from, so now he eats Maddox's organic dry food because I don't think he knows raw food is actually for him to eat. I only got him Friday, so hopefully he'll be eating raw soon-ish!

9. How many times a year do you take your cat to the vet? Once a year for a checkup, but we've been 5 times so far this year with another appointment in June because of various medical issues.

10. How much do you spend yearly on vet visits? This year, so far, I've spent over 800$.

11. Do you believe in spaying/neutering your cat? Yes. Both cats are neutered.

12. Do you have your cat groomed? No. They groom themselves (of course) and I have a cat brush that I use when they're shedding extra. I do clip their nail, but try to get the vet to do it when I can because they don't like their paws held.

13. Are you a vegetarian? No.

14. List your top 4 TV shows: Barefoot Contessa, Dinner: Impossible, Forensic Files, Cartoons (I'm a dork...)

15. Do TV commercials affect what brands of cat food you buy? No, not really. I've never seen the brands I buy advertised.

16. If you were to adopt/rescue a cat, what would be your reasoning behind doing so? I did adopt and rescue both my cats. I adopted Maddox because I wanted an adult cat, and I liked him best out of the cats in the community room at the SPCA, and I rescued Matty because he was being neglected and I felt bad for him. So, pretty much to give both cats a good home.

17. Do you let your cat sleep in bed with you? Maddox does (he takes up about a third of the bed). Matty doesn't (yet) because I'm still keeping him shut away from Maddox.

18. Do you let your cat roam wherever they want in your home? Maddox (and Matty soon also) is not allowed on the kitchen countertops, and he's not supposed to be on the dining room table or the computer table, but he goes up there anyway.

19. What do you value most in life? Family, friends, love, my kitties.

20. What is your favorite movie genre? Fantasy. Or musicals.

21. Are you Male or female? Female

22. What is your age? 25
