    Is $850 too expensive to pay for a cat?

    my gf nagging me to buy her a purebred cat
    (of course she doesnt want anything from the local animal shelter)

    do purebreds have more health problems than street cats??

      depends what kinda

      animal shelter cats are fine too, esp with the 10mln a yr or so that get dumped. But if she wants a siamese or so, yeah they do have their troubles.

              I have a silver bengal. Beautiful cat, even people who hate cats like her, has a great personality and is nothing like a normal cat. Worth every penny.
              About $800

              http://www.aluren.com is a great site

                          Couldn't pay me to have a cat, so yes $850 is out of control.

                              your girlfriend is a money hungry hooker, i suggest you find a new girlfriend and get a cat from a shelter.

                                  it's dumb. There are millions of great cats dying in shelters everyday, you could have one for less than $50.00, and she'll fall in love with any kitten u bring home right away. Be a man. Buy her a pound kitten.

                                      Yes, and 20% of the time those cats die within a month from some random disease. Quality or quantity take your pick. I go with quality every time.

                                          here kitty kitty I like cats, but my lab would chase that thing around and want to play. One swing of his paw and it would pry knock the cat out.

                                                  if she'd rather pay almost $1k for a cat instead of rescue'ing one for free from an animal shelter, she probably wont even take care of the cat and it will end up in a shelter sooner or later

                                                          My first Devon Rex was $500, I worked out a barter for web/marketing work with the breeder and got it down to half price. Her business tripled for the following 4 years after the work was completed. She gave me a second Devon Rex for free.

                                                          They are both wonderful, heathy, highly socialized, and worth every penny.

                                                              Bengals are about the coolest cat on the planet and worth every penny.

                                                                          My cat claws my furniture, but honestly in 2 years its not bad enough for anyone to notice the damage. And she doesnt fuck with the leather, more the soft things like blanket /fleece feeling materials.

F3 is legal in GB not here. They look amazing but imho you dont want a kittie that eats raw meat and hunts to be in the same house as your kid is.

If you don't care about animals enough to buy from the pound instead of from a breeder, you really shouldn't have an animal in your care in the first place.

                                                                                                              second, that 20% figure is pure bullshit. I've NEVER had an animal in bad shape from the pound.

                                                                                                                  exotic animals as pets never, NEVER works out. Look up labret's experiences with his jungle cat. It's just a bad idea.

                                                                                                                  go to the pound. Take your time and wait until you find a cat that pays attention to you. Walk away and if he sticks his paw out thru the bars to try to pull you back, that's the cat for you. That's the method I always use and man I've had some GREAT cats. Funny, outgoing, tough and smart.

                                                                                                                      I can't believe how many people here talk out of their asses.

                                                                                                                      Animals from the SPCA or other sheltered are taken care of and tested and I believe always spayed or neutered before adoption. I'm pretty sure they always have all of their required shots as well, especially rabies.

                                                                                                                      Just because you spend over $500 on a pet does not make it any better then a pet you get for free.

                                                                                                                      I'd bet that the majority of the time animals that are given away for free are taken better care of. One reason is that the person giving them away would rather see it in a good home then have a few dollars in their pocket. All of my cats have been purchased from animal shelters or rescue places for under $75 and were spayed/neutered (if old enough) and current on shots.

                                                                                                                      As far as dogs, from my own experience and that of my friends the more they paid, the more problems. Especially breeders of dogs such as pitbulls. Usually the people are nothing but white trash trying to make money and care nothing about the animals.

                                                                                                                                                                      Say a cat from the pound would cost $75. Tell her you will pay $75 toward the $850 cat, and she'll have to pay the rest if it means that much to her.

                                                                                                                                                                      Odds are, the cat will suddenly cost too much money.

                                                                                                                                                                                          Animals from the SPCA or other sheltered are taken care of and tested and I believe always spayed or neutered before adoption. I'm pretty sure they always have all of their required shots as well, especially rabies.

                                                                                                                                                                                          Just because you spend over $500 on a pet does not make it any better then a pet you get for free.

                                                                                                                                                                                          I'd bet that the majority of the time animals that are given away for free are taken better care of. One reason is that the person giving them away would rather see it in a good home then have a few dollars in their pocket. All of my cats have been purchased from animal shelters or rescue places for under $75 and were spayed/neutered (if old enough) and current on shots.

                                                                                                                                                                                          As far as dogs, from my own experience and that of my friends the more they paid, the more problems. Especially breeders of dogs such as pitbulls. Usually the people are nothing but white trash trying to make money and care
                                                                                                                                                                                          nothing about the animals.
