This cat's too expensive to feed!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Well, actually, I think not.

She gets half a (5½ oz.) can of wet food, and about ½ cup of dry food (usually, I measure it, but today a new box was giving me grief, and I said, “Heck, that looks about right”) each day around noon, and a few cat treats, usually in the evening. My wife buys the cat food out of the general housekeeping money.

Now, the small (3 oz.) cans of IAMS and other premium brands are just <i>too expensive</i>, it seems, to buy. Likewise, when she has the misfortune of not being able to buy the canned food on sale, it sometimes costs as much as <i>three cans for a dollar</i>!

I don’t advocate feeding a cat caviar and truffles (which she probably wouldn’t eat anyway – caviar is too salty, and truffles are too fungusy), but, goodness, it may cost as much as 25¢/day to feed her! I think that we can squeeze this into the budget somehow.

Maybe I should just give my wife another $25/week housekeeping money, and say, “Here, buy the cat something to eat, and spend the rest on youself”. :rolleyes:

Methinks that you’re too expensive to feed!

“If I pinch my nose with my fingers, close my mouth tight,
and blow real hard, I can make my ears bleed. It’s
not as cool as Superman’s X-ray vision, but it’s my own
special talent.”

Maybe you should take a trip to the store and buy the cat food out of what you probably spend on a mid-day meal during the week.

Work is fine for killin’ time, but it’s a shaky way to make a living.

Actually I’ve found them to be quite inexpensive, though a bit tough and stringy unless you marinate them thoroughly and cook at a very low heat.

Oh! You meant food for the cat? Never mind.

You love them best when they’re butterflied, grilled, and served with a remoulade sauce? :slight_smile:
