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.
My cats get 1 can each of wet food per day and I give them unlimited dry food. It's about $12 for 24 cans of wet food (I buy Fancy Feast) and a small bag of dry food (I use Purina Cat Chow) is about $4.
