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.

$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

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.

And just tell her it is a pure bread.
