*in denial* as I have 2 horses and 2 (expensive) rabbits. You are very brave for adding it all up, OP

You are not a wicked person - you just have different circumstances ie do not need dog walker or do not pay insurance etc etc.

Everyone is different, everyone's circumstances/costs are different.

2 tiney dogs will always cost more than 2 large dogs, non working person does not need a dog walker etc etc etc

How do you work that one out?

Oh good - I thought I'd missed a trick somewhere!

Two geriatric cats:

litter = Oko Plus @ £7.50 pr mth
dry food = Royal Canin Veterinary Senior Consult Stage 2 @ £10 pr mth
wet food = Nature's Menu pouches @ £12 pr mth

Total = £29.50 pr mth

No longer wormed, vaccinated etc - still in very good health despite their age but lead sedentary almost exclusively indoor lives now.

I buy Asda's smart price litter, think its £1.50 odd. I only need to scrape the poop/wee twice a day and thoroughly wash it every 3-4 days. A bag lasts me a couple weeks I think

She eats dried food, so I get the good stuff when its on offer, probably costs me about £2.50 pw.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I do get her treats.. a strip of 6 sticks for about a quid, she has 1 a day. And I have a packet of nice treaty things in, so she comes in when called... the diva haha
