That depends on your situation. If you are living comfortably, fine,

more sense than surviving on cat food because that is all you can afford.

You haven't priced cat food lately, have you It wasn't my cat but I
got friendly with one of the neighborhood cats and would slip him a
snack when he came by. For the price of Fancy Feast I could have fed him
the CostCo tuna I eat.

Pet food is the biggest scam around.

That's certainly debatable in general; there is a wide range pet foods
available for sale. Like anything in modern retail there's good, bad
and overpriced crap. COSTCO sells quality dogfood at reasonable prices.

I stopped buying dog treats.

I get grain-free treats for $1.20/lb in bulk at the pet
store. Far cheaper than the grocery store boxes of milk bone.
