I went to PetSmart to buy catnip and walked out with a beautiful cat bed that was on sale. My cats sleep with me, but this bed just looked so cozy, I thought maybe they would like to nap on it in the living room during the daytime. Now I have to buy 3 more beds so that each purr baby has his / her own lounger.
Maybe the beds will be their Christmas presents.

I saw these catnip-filled toys called "Wubbas."  They look like octopusses with a duck or rabbit head.  They have hard bodies, plush fur, and long dangly legs that have crinkle material in them.  Thought my three would enjoy them - they could cuddle up with them or bat them around, and I bought one for each cat.

Kearstie is afraid of them!  Ginger would like to play with them but isn't allowed - Harley immediately claimed all three as his, and chases Ginger away if she goes near one.  Oh well!

I try to buy my cats a new toy or treat once a month. It keeps things exciting for them. I buy toys I believe will stimulate my cats to bring out and hone their natural instincts. My cats really enjoy toys with feathers and bells.

But I suppose if I 'schedule' to buy my cats something once a month, that's not really an impulse buy is it?

Last time I went to Petco I only meant to buy some food, well I walked out with three different kinds of treats, a waterless shampoo and a new kind of brush along with the food. I just can't help it sometimes

If I'm doing the usual Food and litter trip to petsmart I'm more prone to impulse purchases. Last night I pulled out a cart at Petsmart, and someone had left behind coupons I could use. So i made some impulse buys because of the coupons.

Otherwise I buy it because it looks like something I just have to try.

Well, since I originally answered this question, I got laid off - so impulse purchases are now something that does not exist in this household.    But if I did buy anything at all on impulse, it would be something for the kitties!

Everytime i go to the store for cat food and litter, I see something that I think my cat might like. If meets my ideas of what is safe for my cat, I'll get it. My cat, well, technically a kitten yet, still has the very strange habit of gagging himself on anything long enough to fit in his mouth and make it to the back of his throat.

Since each of us is blessed with only one life, why not live it with a cat?

Whenever we go to a store such as like petsmart or walmart or something  we like to try new kitty food brands or flavors for pepper. but there was this one time that we ended up getting a brush comb and some pink kitty shampoo for her! Pepper is a very spoiled kitty! She "has" to have a mix of catfoods instead of just one brand and she will only eat pounce moist treats! i just say WOW

If you think Pepper is spoiled...

Kearstie has to have a taste of their canned food before the dishes are put down for them. She gets on top of a chair that I have to go past to take the dishes to the feeding area and waits for her taste. Then the royal princess must be carried to her dish - she cannot walk to it like the others - gently placed down in front of it, and you must pet her while she begins to eat.  If you don't carry her, she will not go eat.  If you put her down but do not pet her, she will walk away from the food without touching it.

Of course, five minutes later when you aren't looking, she will go to the feeding area and chomp down on the dry food like nobody's business!  By that time, the dry food is all that's available, the two "commoners" do not respect her royalty and will gobble their own wet food plus hers.
