Five ways for a cat lover to make extra money

Author: Russell Clark
Editor - http://www.CatNews.org

I read somewhere that the best way to make money is to do something you
enjoy doing.

I think the quote was "do something you love and you will never have
to work for the rest of your life." What a profound statement I
thought. It got me thinking of ways I could make money from the love of
my life, my cats.

I spent a few nights researching business ideas on the net. After I
compiled a list I sat down and chiseled the list to five ways a cat
lover could make extra money. I needed ventures that I could start with
very little cash and I could do part time.

Cat Sitting seems attractive to me. What I found is a whole host of
websites for budding pet sitters, like me. Pet sitting has matured into
a billion dollar industry. There are trade associations that will be
glad to assist you in setting up your pet sitting business. Google:
start your own cat setting service.

Cat Breeding is an option for someone who has the space and the know
how. Breeding cats for profit is not as easy as it sounds and should
not be attempted by the average cat owner. If you want to go down this
cash highway then I suggest you talk to more then one breeder already
in the industry. Attend cat shows and soak up as much information as
you can. Check the breed asocialtions web sites for good information.
Google: Cat breeding for profit

How about cat photography? Now days a good digital camera can be had
for under a hundred bucks. From what I read the trick is to know how to
get the cat to sit still. No small feat, I'm sure. Every breeder
could use some professional pictures of their cats. Google: How to
photograph your cat

Want to sit at home all day with your cats? Maybe a cat related website
is for you. My website is www.CatNews.org and it has several income
sources. I make money from clicks on my ads and from sales from the
sites I advertise on my site. You can purchase ready made websites from
Ebay cheap. Google: Cat adsense websites for sale

Selling cat related gifts on Ebay would make you a good living. You can
find thousands of wholesale suppliers for cat gifts on the net. You may
have to get a state tax number. Check your local comptrollers office.
Christmas season will your best time of year. Google: Selling cat gifts
on Ebay

These five ideas should get the creative money juices flowing in any
cat lover. Good luck and I hope you make your fortune. Come visit me at

I cat sat for my neighbor for a year for $5 a visit each week. Wasn't
much, but I loved her cats very much and tried to take good care of
them. She said she wanted me to let them outside when I took care of
them, but they always decided to run off then I'd have to wait for an
hour until they came back... I told her I coudn't do that anymore
because it made me really paranoid. My kitty will be a totally inside
cat when I move into an apartment. If I ever sat cats I'd have to make
sure they don't expect me to let them out, I have a horrible image of a
cat bolting out the door and immediatley getting hit by a car.
