    I do spoil my kitties a little, but they are very easy going. My previous kitty got real spoiled in her last years. She went from 14# to about 3# before she died. I fed her baby food by the teaspoon if she would eat it. Put a heating pad in her bed, water by her bed. DH would check her every morning before he left bc he didn't want me to find her passed away.
    I will spoil my new (6yo) ones when they need it. Having said that they do sleep with us and I've never allowed a pet in my bed before.
    Are they worth it? Yes, yes and yes again.

    LOL...I love this thread. Me thinking I'm the only one who spoils our Cleopatra, (Pharaoh Hound). Love her to death. Too bad she is so sensitive to foods and snacks and so must be on hypoallergenic foods and snacks which ends up costing some big bucks. But like we don't do special things for our son and daughter, too??? So yes, Cleo, reaps the rewards of being a surrogate "child" in the absence of our human children.

    In the morning I put the blankets in the dryer to heat them up for our dog and cat. They wait by the dryer until they are done heating up and then go to thier places to lie down on them. Not spoiled at all.....

    Mine is not spoiled, she just wants to get what she she thinks is right & that she deserves: like having her cowhide bone wetted for her to chew; her little doggie bed MUST be on the my bed, not on the floor! (I have teased her & put it on the floor, but she lets me know that it wasn't right); and a few other demands. She pouts when she doesn't get her way.

She has a custom made bed in both ends of the house, that way no matter where I am in the house she can be comfortable while she 'helps'....
    Is she a retired race dog?

    My 12 yr old lab is spoiled rotten, because she is getting old and has been such a good friend her whole life, that she deserves extra special treatment now. And she knows she will get it.

    What would we do without our pets?

    My cat will not eat canned food unless it has gravy. So I have to add some water and stir it up so it is soupy. She just stares at me if I don't do this.

    We also have this ritual when I get home from work. I have to pet her tummy then I chase her around the house. She loves it. She will hide behind a chair and when I come by she will jump out and get me. We also play tag up the stairs. It is good for me too. We both get exercise.
