Okay truth be told, especially here on the web where sometimes truth is a rare premium…I have to be honest and reveal that even though I am wring this, I am not a glorified cat person.
And I also have to confess that that all changed the day I met Tyco.
Tyco was the new cat that my eldest son wanted more than anything. And even though I am a dog guy, I could see that this new addition to our home was something that was going to happen. I also very quickly realized that getting Tyco would mean finding a never ending source for the cheapest cat supplies.
Being an internet savvy person, I knew that the best prices for cat supplies (and most things) happen online because the companies are not paying for retail space and all of the overhead that goes with that.
Simple searches on Google for “cheap cat supplies” turned up the usual suspects, but I wanted more. I wanted someone to be available should there be a problem with anything in my order. I basically wanted someone to take ownership of the items I would be buying blindly.
The upside to being able to buy cheap cat supplies online is the time and money savings. The downside being the not knowing who can be turned to if a mistake is made with the order.
In the end, we bought the flea and tick collars, the fake mice toys and the scratching poles…all of which were delivered as advertised.
After having gone through the process and having gotten all of my cheap cat stuff over the web, I still marvel at how the offline distributors are ever able to keep up.
