.. raise your cats differently?

Hoping this doesn't start a huge debate! - I just thought it'd be interesting to see if people would change their habits if there were no boundaries. For example, if money wasn't an issue, if you had more space etc etc..

I'll start (again, please don't take offense or get upset - this is purely speculation): -

Choosing a cat - Well for a start, I would like to be able to rescue. Currently we rent, and that's the first thing that usually means we 'aren't good enough' to re-home a cat. Madness really - we've lived here 30 years! I'd probably have more than 2 cats, but no more than 4.

Insurance - I wouldn't have any! Vet bills would be affordable, and I wouldn't have to worry about our cats getting lost, ending up in the wrong hands, and having a firework strapped to their back. - This hasn't happened to me, but if anything bad did happen, I hate thinking that I'd have to have our boy pts because we can't afford the bills.

Vaccinations - Tricky one. I don't think I would. Logi has them because otherwise the insurance isn't valid (catch 22 for me there!) The other 3 cats we've had over the years have never been vaccinated and I wouldn't class them as being more prone to illness than the 1 cat who is - quite the opposite in our case. I'm not convinced they are as 'needed' as we are led to believe.

Food - If I could remember to defrost the food, our boys would eat raw at every meal. I'd also give them only Organic and high quality dry food in their auto-feeder, for times when we are late home or whatever. It's a cost thing really.

Indoors/Outdoors - Outdoors without a doubt (this is an ideal world after all!)

Toys - I'd have a whole room just filled with cat toys. It'd be like a kitty Alton Towers. Logi would have one of those ball-pits filled with squishy cat balls - he loves them. Oh and a cat tower that went from floor to ceiling, and around the room! - he loves being high up.

So there you go.. What would you change?
