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!

Bought an automatic door opener (the type for handicapped people in wheelchairs) so the dogs can come and go as they please to/from the back yard. I setup infrared sensors inside and outside near the dogs level (off to the side outside) and they quickly figured out how to open the door on their own.

Was like $600 but man was it worth it! Never have to worry about them being locked in or pestering me to go out. My big dog also gets a huge kick out of sneaking up on the pool guy and barking at him (just once!) when he's not looking 🤣
