Today my husband collected all of the treatments that we needed for the cats from the vets.I tend to ring the vets before we collect all of the things that we want,as we find that alot easier,as that way it is always ready for when we collect the things that we want for them.I have finished sorting all the cats out,aswell as knowing that they have got all the best things to treat them with,i also like to spray all the rooms just incase there are any fleas that are on the carpets or beds where they have been sleeping.It cost £83 for peace of mind,so i got a bargain,as they had a special price on,so i got extra of everything,so that i will have some ready for next time.

It sounds as if you get a discount for groups. My three cost almost fifty for one month of frontline.

I got a special that was being done at our vets,saved abit of money,plus i know that the children will not end up with a flea on them if the cats were to go some where or with another cat thats got them.

It sounds as if you had a busy and expensive time of it, getting them all taken care of. I do not worm the cats unless they show signs of needing it. The flea stuff alone is horribly expensive.

I need to do that for my Lucky when I get the money. My Lucky need his yearly vaccinations and he needs a bath. He is such a cute kitty.

I think that it is really expensive to keep up with all the jabs and other bits and bobs that cats need,when they have to be got all at the same time.

My three Chihuahuas got their spa treatment last night. They all got baths and got their claws trimmed. Then they got belly-rubs, treats, and rawhide chew sticks. I should be so spoiled. LOL They are worth it, though. They are my babies, and I am glad that I can spoil them...

I think that if people want pets and do not want all the things that they can get,then the pets have to be treated,no matter what the cost aswell as what time it takes.My dogs got a bath,one of them hates water,so that took my husband over half an hour just to rinse her off.

hi jugsjugs that is a smart way of doing things, having all the stuff you need for the cats. Good thinking on your part.And I imagine your vet probably thinks you are really well organized. Sound like your cats will get all nicely pampered and cared for. good for you. I wish I could afford just one cat here but it wou d raise the rent another hundred dollars which I do not have.

I think that it is bad that people can charge others more money for rent,just for a pet.I find it easier to sort all the cats at the same time,aswell as that i find it works out alot cheaper to get the things that i need for them in bulk.

You posted this discussion three weeks ago but i still want to respond. You see i seldom visit mylot due to busyness at work but i still like to participate in discussions specially the ones i am interested in. Anyway, maintaining pets is really expensive because you have to buy supplies for them too. This is as if you are maintaining another member of your household, sometimes they need bigger allocation than human . But its fun to have pets, they help us forget stress and give us something to do that we enjoy.Enjoy your pets!
