The expensive part is the vet bills. First off, it's really not an issue until the cat gets old. If it doesn't go outside it probably doesn't need shots either. Third, find a vet that isn't owned...

You obviously must be window shopping on the other end of Bourbon near Esplanade, instead of Airline Hwy?

Okay, so let's say your cat gets sick and it's thousands of dollars. Do you just have it put down? I mean - the reason I'm asking is because that's one aspect of ethical kitty care that no one really...

If you get a kitten that needs fixed, find out if there is a Cat Clinic near you. We have one called The Bridge Clinic, spaying, shots are relatively inexpensive. Caveat, they don't allow you in with...

Awww. You were a cat person and just didn't know it. The Cat Distribution System must know I'm worried about money. There aren't even any strays here to pet or to psp psp psp.

I'm going to guess that the ones who have a large number of cats don't take care them as well as those with one or two cats. They probably don't take them to the vet regularly and they won't get...

I've wanted one for a long time, but fear the cost. I really don't understand how so many people have one cat much less several. How do they afford the vet bills?

Be nice or it's back to the cage where you will be forced to use the lotion. That's not a coy euphemism.
It's reasonable - if the cat has had an otherwise long quality life.
I don't...

If you are not familiar with them, beware of familiar cats. That will cost you.

No one owns a cat, it's the other way around. :lol:

Aww... with the hamster that developed the tumor, once it burst, we figured it would be expensive to care for it. We currently have one Chinese hamster that is very cute and calm though shy.

I assume "cat" is a euphemism. In that case, it's absurdly expensive.

Fine...serious answer :)
- Consider the cost of an annual exam, vaccinations, flea & tick medicine - perhaps $400/year?

Some good advice above. We breed Maine Coons so I thought I would chime in. Indoor cats still need basic vaccinations, If that cat goes out even just for walks you need the rest plus flea, tick,...

The thing about animals is that you simply never know but getting a rescue cat from a shelter will for the most part be better than a purebred cat as there tends to be a lot of inbreeding. We have...

Thank you for the reply. I hope you will reconsider about the hamsters. It's about $100 for vet care and you can just save the leftover antibiotics to treat whatever else comes up. Got 6 extra months...

I love animals, but I wouldn't ask anyone to go into financial ruin over a pet. I've had to put down two animals in the past couple of years: one cat that developed cancer. We could have treated, but...
