Yep, today I decided that our shedding kitties needed a bath. They are so mad at me right now, but Dylan thinks that the kitties are hilarious!

I’m sure that they will dry out eventually…

Saving on Pet Supplies

On my weekly grocery list there are always two things that I have to pick up for the kitties.

Kitty Litter and Cat Food, they are kitty necessities, but I have to say that I am fed up with the rising prices on these items. I’ve started to shop around in a few different places for the best deal for my kitty supplies.

First off Kitty Litter, if you have kitties you have to have this one. I like to purchase Kitty Litter at Dollar General, they carry an Earth-friendly brand for only $1.00! One bag will usually last about a week, and you can’t beat the price

Then there is Cat Food, every week it seems that the price goes up and up,  and I spend 15 minutes comparing brand to brand and bag to bag, to find the best deal . A few weeks ago my hubby spotted a great sale on 18-20 pound cat food at Tractor Supply Company. I had never shopped there before, so I thought I would check out the store. The brand that I had planned on purchasing had already sold out, but a sales associate told me to give their brand a try. I picked up a 20 pound bag for $10.49! It was a great deal, and after I did the math, I saved $15.37 by purchasing the cat food in bulk. The kitties really liked the food too.

Tractor Supply Company also carries Kitty Litter and last weekend I took my Mom to shop their sale. Their brand of Paws ‘n Claws kitty litter was on sale, so we stocked up. Their 25 lb bags were on sale for 2 for $4.00! Only three were left when we made it to the store, so we picked them up. I’m all stocked up for the Fall, or for any kitty litter emergencies.

How do you keep costs down when it comes to pet supplies?

My Cats ate My Garden

One of my hopes for gardening was to harvest my seeds, and use them to help plant next year’s garden. It would get me one small step closer towards greener sustainability. I had one Cucumber left, and a handful of Green Beans so I seeded the veggies and got the seeds ready to dry.

I even had a nice sunny window to place the seeds in. They needed to dry for a week, so I marked the paper towel with the date when they should be ready. I placed them in the window, and hoped for the best.

I don’t even think they were in the window for ten minutes, before my kitties found them and ate most of my organic sustainable garden. I was a little grumpy, but I bet the kitties enjoyed the tasty organic treat.

Oh well, so much for next year’s sustainable garden…

Maddie Day!

My husband got me a new kitten for our fourth anniversary. He is so adoreable! Last night my husband and I got to go out to dinner to celebrate, and it was so fun! I think that it was the first time in about 20 months that we both got to sit down and relax, without any interruptions.
