why does she want/need a purebred cat?
save a kitty's life!!! |
A good way to see if it is too expensive is a method I use on my sons.
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. |
I had a Bengal. I paid about $800 or so for her. incredble cat.
|
How about using that $850 bucks and putting it to good use instead, such as buying a couple of good rifles to snipe cats with? We are running out of time to deal with the feline menace, do what you can to ensure the survival of the human race!

get a dog instead :thumbsup

blah, blah blah... my ex g/f wanted a kitten once, went to the shelter and picked out the cutest little one... came home one night it was face down in the litter box not moving, barely alive, very fragile since day 1, vet said some disease the shelter never took the time to see. died in her hands barely purring at about 5am less than 2 weeks later after we took her home |
BTW many people that are allergic to cats, are NOT allergic to my silver bengal. people see the cat and say oh im allergic, then 2 hours later they say hmm this cat is cool
|
adopt go to petfinder lots of cats need good homes or go to your local pound 100's of cats being put to sleep.

looks too much for me...

Hey Detoxed....STFU
Just because you had one bad experience adopting a cat doesn't mean that everyone else in the world needs to go buy an expensive purebred cat. You're the exception not the rule. |
Here's my cat story.
I was never really a cat person, or even an animal person for that matter. Then I started dating a girl that had a purebred white persian cat. We lived together for awhile and I really loved that cat, he kind of grew on me. Her and I parted ways a long time ago, but now I have 4 cats in the house. Two that were adopted from shelters and two that were strays that we brought in. No difference whatsoever between these 4 and the purebred persian (other than appearance) They're just as healthy, happy, quirky, and funny as any other cats you'll come across. If you want a cat go rescue one that will otherwise be euthanized instead of overpaying for some show cat that will find a good home regardless. :2 cents: |

what a fucking cunt you need to beat some sense into her. |
$850 for cat ? im not so crazy.... :)
|
I wouldn't spend $850 on a cat but I would spend $850 on a pair of shoes.
I guess it just depends on what's important to you. I personally don't like cats. I wouldn't take one for free. |
Well.. you often get what you pay for :2 cents:
Nothing wrong in getting a cat from the shelter if you "just want a cat" but if you want a purebreed then that just isn't the place to look imo :) |
I don't understand the people jumping on bu((aneer here. You guys are telling him and his girlfriend, go pick one up from a shelter...but isn't that his decision? Are you guys really that perfect and donate $1000 each month to Africa for instance?
If she wants a pure bred, let them be. The $850 is only money, what you get in return when you treat them well, is priceless. |
I get free cats for the barn and we generally lose 1 or 2 a year to coyotes. I wouldn't pay a dime for a cat.
