What's the most extravagant thing you've bought for your pet, and do you regret it? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Inspired by watching my cat lay on her 6' (2 m) tall cat tower and sleep like a baby. Zero regrets, even if it makes us look like insane cat people for having a giant cat tower right in our living room. She lives here, she gets furniture too!

2 on the same cat. The vet said she only needed one right now but that the other leg was going to need it in a year or two, and it would be cheaper to do them both at the same time. The post surgery aftercare was rough. We had to keep her locked in a dog cage with a litter box and a small bed for 10 weeks to heal. At the follow-up, the vet said her legs were looking better than she could have hoped for because we actually stuck to the aftercare. Now, the little turd has to be on medication, or her gi flares up, and she throws up several times a day every day.

Poor baby. I'm so glad she has someone who cares as much as you do.
