How much does it cost to keep a cat?

We feed our cats Applaws and because you need to feed so little it actually only costs around 12-15/month for each of them and they are very healthy.

I feed my two a mixture & haven't priced it out but I imagine it's similar to the above. I feed 50% Burns dried food & 25% Aniconda Carni (recently both sourced from Zooplus - just spending £19 to get free delivery) wet tinned & 25% either offal (local butcher - buy a fair bit & cut up & put in freezer bags in portions) or Feline Fayre (was Asda) wet tinned. I buy in bulk dried & tinned every few months. I get litter from Pets @ Home (cats best OKO) but also mix with Liddles or Aldis fullers earth, sometimes Asda does it cheaply.

Worming tablets & flea treatment from a local pet charity (one of my cats is a rescue) as & when needed (it's slightly cheaper online but the extra cash helps the charity I imagine - still cheaper than private ordinary vets).

They don't bother with toys but I got their pet bed - which the alternate between that & my bed from Liddles. I got one covered litter tray from Pets at home & another corner one from internet (did a search for cheapest). Scratching post from Argos. Both Aldi & Liddles regularly do pet equipment cheaply - currently they have a nice wicker basket with a cushion inside & on top in a barrel shape.
