3.\tWhy did you decide to get a cat? (example: companionship) Have always had cats in the family, these now where foster cats which we decided to keep

4.\tDo you consider your cat a family member? Yes
5.\tWhere do you shop for your cat necessities (food, toys, and treats)? local store, 5 min by car, 20 minute walk away
6.\tHow much do you spend monthly on cat necessities? -

7.\tDo you dress your cat in clothes or adorn it with pretty collars? As kids occasionally. Now they only get a collar with a big red bow on christmas day


8.\tWhat makes you choose the cat food you buy? Mainly Cat acceptance, I don't really buy into this food hype anymore. we feed mixed brands.


9.\tHow many times a year do you take your cat to the vet?

Only if they are sick, they're 15 now, so we don't want to vaccinate anymore

10.\tHow much do you spend yearly on vet visits? Can't say, as this depends on the cat's health.

11.\tDo you believe in spaying/neutering your cat? Absolutely. Use to volunteer at a shelter- seeing 500 cats in one place does make the point clearer to one


12.\tDo you have your cat groomed? Never, they take care of their own coats. As they are indoor/ outdoor cats I remove ticks


13.\tAre you a vegetarian? No, I try to avoid meat that's not organic, though.

14.\tList your top 4 TV shows: Dr Who, Dr. House


15.\tDo TV commercials affect what brands of cat food you buy? Not really- they mostly aren't that interesting anyway, following a similar pattern.



16.\tIf you were to adopt/rescue a cat, what would be your reasoning behind doing so?

Wanting to have a cat. I would prefer getting a cat from a foster home as they would probably be able to tell me more about the character of a cat- which is important if it is to fit in with the other cats. Am planing to adopt a half- tame grown up cat at some point because taming cats is very rewarding.

17.\tDo you let your cat sleep in bed with you?

Yes, if they want to

18.\tDo you let your cat roam wherever they want in your home?

Yes.

19. What do you value most in life?

Quite a philosophilcal question, that. My health and that of my family, beeing able to persue my interest, having good friends, having a job that intersts me and gives me the feeling of doing somethin usefull with my time.

20.\tWhat is your favorite movie genre?

Probably science fiction, though most science fiction films aren't very good and more about fiction then science

21.\tAre you Male or female?

female

22.\tWhat is your age?
35


Just wanted to point out that I'm from Germany
, don't know if this will affect your survey.

regards,

christine

1. How many cats do you have? 1 inside, about ten in the feral colony outside that I feed every day.

2. How many people are in your household? 2

1. How many cats do you have? One

2. How many people are in your household? Two

3. Why did you decide to get a cat? (example: companionship) I've always wanted a cat for no reason other than I love them. It was just a matter of convincing my husband that he wanted one. He decided to get one so I would stop bugging him about getting one all the time


4. Do you consider your cat a family member? Yes, she's my fat and fuzzy furbaby.

5. Where do you shop for your cat necessities (food, toys, and treats)? Target, Petsmart and Petco


6. How much do you spend monthly on cat necessities? $20, about half for food and half for cat litter.

7. Do you dress your cat in clothes or adorn it with pretty collars? She has a shirt, but doesn't like wearing it. Her collar is pretty spiffy looking.

8. What makes you choose the cat food you buy? One that was healthy, without a lot of additives, preservatives and chemically stuff.


9. How many times a year do you take your cat to the vet? Once so far

10. How much do you spend yearly on vet visits? We've only had her since december, and the first vet visit was free with her adoption, so I don't know.


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


12. Do you have your cat groomed? We brush her ourselves at least once a week with a furminator.


13. Are you a vegetarian? I'm a meat minimalist - I believe humans are meant to eat meat, just not as much as we do.

14. List your top 4 TV shows:

Law and Order, Chuck, Stargate, Bones



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? I did adopt my Squeaky. While I'm not against owning a purebred, I couldn't rationalize spending hundreds of dollars on a cat I wouldn't show. Thus, off the animal shelter to find a kitty who needed my love.

17. Do you let your cat sleep in bed with you? Nope, I have asthma. Cat in the bed would be just asking for an asthma attack.


18. Do you let your cat roam wherever they want in your home? She's allowed everywhere but the bedroom (keep it cat hair free for my asthma) and the bathroom (because we keep her food in there, and if she were allowed in, she'd chew through the bag and eat it all).


19. What do you value most in life? God


20. What is your favorite movie genre? Sci Fi

21. Are you Male or female? Female


22. What is your age? 27

1.\tHow many cats do you have? 5

2.\tHow many people are in your household? 1


3.\tWhy did you decide to get a cat? (example: companionship) Two years ago I finally got a kitten to fulfill a lifelong dream. I just love cats. Of course, it was supposed to be only one cat. The others just kind of happened.


4.\tDo you consider your cat a family member? Yes.

5.\tWhere do you shop for your cat necessities (food, toys, and treats)? Walmart, Petsmart, Petco, local feed store, online pet supply


6.\tHow much do you spend monthly on cat necessities? About $90 for food and litter

7.\tDo you dress your cat in clothes or adorn it with pretty collars? No. I actually have a hard time finding plain collars for my girls.

8.\tWhat makes you choose the cat food you buy? I did a fair amount of research on what kind of food is best for cats. Then I chose the best food I could get on my budget. In the end, I feed them what they will eat. That means a high quality dry food and so-so wet food.


9.\tHow many times a year do you take your cat to the vet? Once, assuming there are no problems in between.

10.\tHow much do you spend yearly on vet visits? The first year is $125-150 for each cat. That includes two or three visits for the initial vaccination series, plus spay or neuter. After that it's about $40 each for routine exams and booster shots. I know that's really low compared to some. My vet only charges one exam fee if I take all the cats in at the same time, so mostly I'm paying for the shots.


11.\tDo you believe in spaying/neutering your cat? Yes!


12.\tDo you have your cat groomed? No. They're all short haired and easy for me to take care of the grooming myself.


13.\tAre you a vegetarian? No, but I don't eat much meat anyway.

14.\tList your top 4 TV shows: Bones, NCIS, Ghost Whisperer, Waiting for God (British comedy on PBS). I used to watch a lot more of the science fiction shows until they all got canceled.




15.\tDo TV commercials affect what brands of cat food you buy? No



16.\tIf you were to adopt/rescue a cat, what would be your reasoning behind doing so? Every cat deserves a loving home.

17.\tDo you let your cat sleep in bed with you? Let them? How do you stop them? Of course, I love having them sleep with me. I haven't had to use my electric blanket at all the last two winters.


18.\tDo you let your cat roam wherever they want in your home? Again: Let them?!? They pretty much do whatever they want. I keep the office door closed so that can't go in when I'm not with them, and I shut them out of the studio while I'm working. Otherwise, they have free run of the house.


19.\tWhat do you value in life? My faith. My family.



20. What is your favorite movie genre? Science Fiction. However, I rarely go to a movie theater and can't remember the last time I rented a movie.

21.\tAre you Male or female? Female


22.\tWhat is your age? 56

Weird! I couldn't post my answer at first. It kept telling me I wasn't allowed to access the page. It finally posted and mine is still there, but there are at least two or three others that are missing now. Also, several others have showed up ahead of my post that weren't there before.

I just wanted to tell you all I have 2 cute cats of my own. There's Ralph and Corey. It just so happens that my consumer behavior professor assigned me the subculture of cat owners to research, so I was very excited. I'm writing a paper on demographics, media habits, purchasing behavior, and how a marketer would target this group. The surveys definitely help.

I hope that you stay around...
this is a great site for all who love cats.
