I thought of

The truth is choice 3, this will be part of Maddie's food supply for the year. The previous 2 years, canned pumpkin was only available in the fall. She does not eat the organic canned pumpkin. As a result, now is the time to stock up. Besides, Stormy eats pumpkin too and he is coming back to Maryland in the Spring.

What's more amazing is that this week, I spent $255.37 on a year's supply of food for Maddie Cat. In my defense, it is food that will probably last the year. The canned pumpkin pictured here cost $160. The 90 pounds of dry catfood I purchased on Sunday (and is in the closet already) was $95.37.

Aside for those who see the Scoop Away - those are empty buckets going to Squirrel's Dad. Last year, I bought a 18-month supply of Scoop Away when the company was phasing out the buckets (which are easily reused by the way).
