Oh my God! I just turned into a guilty mom (and me that is always saying I wouldn't do that to children)!

But it's different with cats, isn't it  
?

Now to get it off my mind that the cat needs that camera that throws treats...

Over the two years since I adopted them, Paul and Chula have somehow acquired a huge selection of toys.  However, they do not have a camera that throws treats.  This sounds rather interesting!    Does it take pictures of them as they're opening their mouths in anticipation?  
   That would make for some terrific photos.  Strange, too.  


The big problem with all of Chula and Paul's toys is that they don't actually play with more than a few of them.

Oh, don't feel guilty. I am sure your cat did need that new toy, just like my cats do need more toys, more kitty blankets, more cat beds, more of everything. They can never have enough, as I always see something new.
Now, a camera that throws treats, that I have never seen. My cats need that toy!
As far as my human son, he is just as spoiled. I always say I have three boys, my son and my two kitties.
Yes, they are all spoiled.
Then again, so am I. My husband spoils me all the time.
Yes, I am a real softie and I guess so is my husband. However, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Enjoy your cat, and yes enjoy spoiling him. I am sure he deserves it, as all kitties give so much more in return!

Kids aren't spoiled by being showered with gifts, they are spoiled when material things are given to them in lieu of time and love from the adults in their lives.

It is much the same with cats.  Buying a new  toy to play with your cat with is good, not bad cat care, IMO. just don't buy a few cat tv videos and expect that to give your cat all the stimulation they need.

You do realize that the cat will love the packaging more than the toys,right? I have probably 100 toys that I rotate and they play with shoestrings and empty thread spools and bottlecaps But that does not stop me from buying new toys anyway!

I paid $6.00 plus tax, for a toy white rat for Cleopatra, and she never played with it.
But lately she has begun to play with.
But, I think she's had it for about 3 years.

It's just me and the cat.

No worries, one of my favorite things to do is go shopping for my cats! Plus it's healthy stimulation for them to get all different kinds of toys and treats.

We all do it! I never by anything for myself other than necessities. All of my fun shopping comes from buying pet supplies!

Well, if you need advice, there is a very nice subscription you can choose (every month or every other month) called MeowBox. They write your kitties name inside the box lid and it include themes of toys and treats for your feline... just sayin... Even Hallow loves it and she is the 14 year old.

I'm guilty of that as well. However, sometimes the toys are added to my chewy.com cart to qualify for free shipping
