Thread: How much??

Hi
Its difficult as I have 5 cats but recently kitted my mum out for a rescue coonie. Monthly pet insurance is about £17 with pet plan, you can get cheaper with them but they are the best and will insure a problem from year to year where other insurers will rule it out after a year. We have a scheme with our vets where we pay £16 a month which covers all vaccinations and flea treatment and wormers so I would say about £200 a year for that lot. Food, we feed Royal Canin with is about £25/26 a 4kg bag, this would last one cat quite a while, maybe even a month or more. Litter is another cost, we use one called pure paws which is a clumping litter that you dont change regularly you just scoop out the lumps. A bag is £10 but lasts for ages once the tray is set up, 2 bags to start as you need quite a lot in there.

So I would reckon taking everything into consideration and breaking it down into a monthly figure, it would be about £50 a month. Thats not taking into consideration all the toys etc lol.

I think coonies should always have a friend, we have 3 coonies and 2 moggies and a dog. Food wise the bigger the bag the cheaper it is per kg. We feed ours a high calorie royal canin food which means they dont eat that much of it, so for the 5 its costs about £50 in food a month.

Good luck, you are making the best decision you will ever make. We had 3 moggies and fell in love with a coonie, then another then another. I love our moggies but coonies are a treat in themselves!
