Cat Tree Furniture

According to the industry research firm IBISWorld, the total cost of raising a dog and cat for the full duration of their lives (an estimated 13 years) is $13,330 and $8,506 respectively.  The study revealed that people spend more money on dog food than cat food over the lifetime of their animals, and that significantly more was spent on dogs for veterinarian bills and miscellaneous items such as toys and accessories.

Cat Bed

One way cat owners can save money on cat trees and scratching posts is to buy quality products that are known to last longer.  Buying a more expensive, but quality piece of cat furniture, will save money in the long run because it will be around longer and not need to be replaced.  So look for the “value” in cat furniture and not just the cost.
