Don't you wish that cats and goggies would count as a tax deduction? They are our children, and we would get 3!

Be careful what you wish for

Between hoaders and puppy mills, I think there would be a sad number of people who think a tax deduction would good enough reason to shove a few more animals into small cages.....

....Or at the least Stinky would demand her own room just like our other little "tax deduction" has! Tax deductions or no, I simply can't afford to buy two new big-girl beds this year. The pink monster may sleep on floral sheets, but Stinky won't go for that - and where am I going to find affordable sheets in a fish motif? Crab shaped pillows? Netting and starfish curtains?

Give that cat a little, and she'll take me for everything I've got....

...but have you seen where there are a few companys that are now offering their employees pet insurance, along with their usual medical coverage?

Well, the comment about puppy mills is valid.
Still, it would be nice to at least be able to deduct vet bills!

I would love it 23 deductions!!!! Just imagine

A house without cats is like a garden without flowers

I'd just settle for deducting their medical (vet) expenses, LOL!

So far so good, Pookey at 16 1/2 really doesn't need any meds and only twice a year blood/urine checks. He takes a very low dose of Cyproh every other day to keep his appetite up, but it is a very inexpensive drug (especially when you only give him 1/4 a tablet).
