I don't have any kids so I'm probably getting off cheap, rather than iPods & $100 running shoes, it's pet supplies.
Haven't decided on the raw yet. I'm still a little leery. I'll ask the breeder & the vet.
Awesome, your going to have some very happy healthy kitties! I don't have kids either, so instead my cat has 2 cat condos, 3 scratching posts, 3 litter boxes, half the couch, and enough toys scattered aroung the house to make it look like I DO have kids.

As for the raw thing, just a word of caution about asking the vet: not all, but I'd have to say probably most, are rather anti-raw. They've been indoctrinated into the cult of Big Pet Food (aka Hill's, Medi-cal, Purina, Royal Canin etc.). Sadly, they don't get a lot of in depth education on feline nutrition in school, and tend to be heavily influenced by the so-called "research" that the aforementioned companies carry out. Not to mention that they're selling the crap in their clinics (and make upwards of 20% of their annual profit from these sales - conflict of interest?). Here's some interesting reading on the subject:
