I have two and spend about $40 a month on them, plus $65 each a year old vaccines.
Food, litter, flea control, heart worm control. I'm guessing it's a little over 1K a year. :) She's worth it though.
Food, litter, heartworm, vet check-up 1x a year...he's a healthy kitty! So only like maybe $250ish a year.
Well, I used spend the lowest amount (food, litter, vet once a year >1000) - but one of my cats is now diabetic. So he is on a special low carb diet and we give him insulin. Most expensive free cat ever....
Food, litter, litter box liners, annual vet visit, occasional treats, and usually a toy/catnip thing for her birthday and hannukah! :-) So probably an average of $50-75/month. There are occasional "extra"expenses, like a new litter box or scooper, or a new bed, but those are rare, and I try to make them line up with her birthday and Hannukah. LOL
We have only had ours for like 2 months and between our pet diposit and having to buy everything new + Fi likes to spoil them we have already spent over 600 dollars... UUUGGGHHH
Not including any emergency visits or any other visits besides their annual appt we probably spend about $500 total for two cats
I probably spend around $75 a month on my 3 kitties. They seem to only like cheaper food for some reason (although I'm not complaining), and only one uses the litter box, the others go outside. It's the dang Frontline flea treatment stuff that sure adds up when you've got 3 cats though!
I have three cats. I spend around $350 in shots/vet check each year minimum. Then I spend $50 every two months for food and litter. I don't do reg. flea treatments, only during peak months. And that's around $50/mo during the peak months. My cats don't go outside.
Not counting adoption fees, pet deposits and pet rent we probably spend about $50 a month average for our two. I tend to spoil them with treats and toys and buy a fairly expensive brand of food.
Our cats are indoor, so no frontline for them! Just the yearly vet visit, food, litter, and a new toy every once and awhile. Probably like $100 a year for the vet. Cat food lasts a long time so probably $7 a month. Litter is $15 a month. Then treats and toys.
Honestly, it probably all adds up to like $30 a month. SO much cheaper than our dog!
My cats are very picky eaters, they will only eat purina naturals kibble and fancy feast or higher quality moist. I also had to recently invest in a $40 water fountain for my male because he is obsessive about his water. But, thankfully, they are all healthy cats who almost never need vet care beyond the basics, so I guess it evens out. Probaby, with everything, around $1000 a year. (picky lady cats expensive moist food is the main expense)
So far I've spent about $2500 on my cat since I got her two years ago. She broke her hip last year and needed hip replacement surgery which cost $1500. The x-rays were another $300 and then she's had two vet check ups at about $100 each. I spend about $13 a month on her food and $25 a month on her litter. I could spend less on litter but I like to get her the recycled paper pellets which cost a bit more but I find it easier to clean. I'm in third year university and never expected having to pay that much but I didn't really have a choice when it came to the x-rays and hip surgery. She's worth every penny!
Between food ($9 per bag - lasts about 3 weeks - roughly $156), kitty litter ($10 per 20lb box - lasts 2 weeks - roughly $260), grooming (between $40-$75 (depends on what we do) - twice per year - $150), vet (maybe $100 for the whole year) & toys/treats ($20-$30) we spend roughly $700 per year. But he's totally worth it!
i think we spend about $150 per month for food and litter for two cats.
They only eat Wellness brand canned food in the chicken variety. We try to drive out to the local pet store to pick up cases and it comes out to $1.25 per can. If we pick it up from other pet stores or at Whole Foods, it's $1.69 per can. They eat two cans per day between the two of them. It would be more like two can per cat per day if we didn't supplement with dry food. Their dry food runs about $40 per bag and last prob about 2 months (that's a guess). We feed Wellness CORE dry food but since getting the new cat, we can only get her to eat the Wellness CORE if we mix it with Purina Pro Plan (which is about $21 for the smaller bag). We don't like to feed them the Purina but she won't touch Wellness or any of the other grain-free natural foods we buy.
They're also very particular about their litter. We buy a specific brand of clumping litter but it has to be layered with pine litter on top.
Vet costs are pretty cheap (except for the time we had to take our poor girl to the vet 5x in two weeks including an emergency vet visit on a Sunday).
I spoil the crap out of my two girls. They get indoor cat food, cat-grass grown for them to munch on, a litter box, a new addition to their cat tower, treats, kitty birthday cakes, christmas presents, new sparkly collars. I don't have children, so I spoil them :) I would say about 1500 a year.
