Pet deduction

Is there any way to get deductions for the expenses of my three cats? I have vet bills, cat food, litter, and other expenses.

Regretably, the IRS currently does not define pets as being qualified dependents.
Therefore, your "Vet" expenses for your beloved 3 cats would be considered a personal expense and the IRS specifically disallows any deduction for these personal expenses.
