Cost of Cats

My godmother just got two Tonkanese kittens and paid close to $1000 (each- I think) for them. CRAZY. But I admit they are pretty cool cats. I'm not a huge cat person but if I were to have a cat, it'd probably be one of those, or one of the more trainable breeds. I loooveee bengals. I know her tonkanese are always near her, love to cuddle and be held and fussed over, sit in your lap, etc... I've always been turned off by cats because they generally are so hard to find, to pet, to hold, etc, so that's why I've just never been a cat person. But apparently this breeder shows her cats and always takes back if a person decides they can't have them anymore and stuff.
Yeah honestly Brie's litterbox isn't noticeable...even people who don't have a cat will pass near where it is and unless she *just* made a deposit, they are surprised to learn we have a cat and ask where her litterbox is because they can't smell it...
But we clean it a lot (both scooping and thoroughly cleaning) and her diet seems to agree with her.

My housemate bought two cats from breeders. A retired Balinese breeder (Topham) and a Korat kitten (Nado). I don't know what he paid for Topham, but Nado was at least $800.
I would totally get a Balinese from Topham's breeder! Topham is my most favorite cat ever.

Ryan and I have both said that we don't want another cat, we want a Topham.

We had a foster with cerebellar hypoplasia that one of my coworkers adopted. She is the mose loveable cat ever 
I've only noticed stinky litter boxes from kittens. Even cats on crap diets are not too odorous (IME). Unless, you know, you're standing right next to the box when they're pooping. lol.
But yeah I've never had a problem with the litter box being stinky, as long as it's cleaned daily. I suppose the type of litter might make a difference too.
Anyone else think brown cats are just super cool looking? You almost never see them, but I LOVE them.
And by brown I mean BROWN. Like Havana Browns.
The day I see a brown rescue cat is the day I bring home a brown rescue cat.

She was such a sweetheart and her brown coloring was so pretty and unique!
I love brown cats! There was one at cat shelter I used to volunteer at named Tina. She was 14 years old and had been at the shelter for several years. No one wanted to adopt her because she would only use a litterbox if it was completely empty, no litter or anything. She actually ended up getting adopted semi-recently. She snuck into a carrier someone set down and when they brought the carrier home and found her in there they fell in love with her and decided to keep her She was such a sweetheart and her brown coloring was so pretty and unique!

Brown cats really are just so unique in the cat world. I love em.
Even when it's not dusty and it's the good liter I can't take the smell. I'm SUPER sensitive to smells and I start gagging.
I love my friends cats but when it comes down to it I'm a dog person all the way. As much as I love Scottish Folds I don't think it would be fair to the cat for me to get it and expect dog behavior.
