In some cases, a lightning strike can also result in something kind of beautiful. The photo above was sent to Gear Diary by Texas resident Winston Kemp, who was struck by lightning after he went outside to save his pumpkins during a storm.
Food per month per cat is probably going to run you $20. Do not feed junk food or the lowest cost stuff, it causes more problems and more vet trips. Litter per month--price out what you like, most cats go through a 25lb bag of litter every 6 weeks.
Another misconception is that medical treatment costs less. Medications can cost $1 - $2 per day or approximately $350 to $700 per year. Monitoring side effects and dosage adjustments mandates that cats be re-examined and have blood tests repeated every 3-6 months.
