Awesome... but less effort. Cat comes with soul and obstacle avoidance already and if you look after said beast, 1000$/year seems a touch high.

True, but I can't very well teach the cat to blog, unless I want lots of entries titled "Cat-like typing detected".

Bonnie types to Madeileen but there is usually a lot of translation and guess work required. Ultimate in typonese.

ASPCA has almost $700/year for a cat, and I'm not sure when that info is from (so it might be higher now). Actually checked a few sites, and $600-700 is what they say you *spend* on the cat (food, litter, medical, etc...). If you factor in property damage/wear and tear, that definitely goes up.

About 700 sounds about right if you don't include the shots. I get Rhogan done every few years or if I'm moving but factoring the expensive food and litter I get her it works out to about that. Of course none of this actually factors in the unconditional love, instant purr therapy and nice snuggly warm body I get as free perks to this cat owner thing. :) No price on that at all.

Well of course not - it's total cost of ownership, not cost/benefit analysis of ownership. ;-)

Oh I know, I just wanted to have a warm fuzzy moment... carry on with total cost thingy.
