If you devide the position “current expenses” by about 12 kitten in a year, you’ll allready get 475,00 €. Now, the “additional costs for a litter” accure, what I splited into 4 kitten in this example-calculation: nearly 300,00 €.

Destroyed household objects (like for example carpets, porcelain and others) are not taken into consideration. I also waived the costs for “basic equipment”, because finally eachs hobby has it’s price.

Shares of kindness and affection, what is needed by each cat and worry, when one cat needs the vet are invaluable, anyway.

A Sale to a cat-enthusiast or a sale as a breeding cat for 600,00 € (a price as a matter of course I payed, too), does not contribute to the financing of a one-family-house, no, it does not even bread our accruing costs.
