Would you spend $7900-31,000 on a cat?
Edited on Sun Feb-17-08 07:31 PM by StopThePendulum
LIFESTYLE PETS has produced the world's first scientifically-proven hypoallergenic cats. These cats allow some of the millions of people with feline allergies to finally enjoy the love and companionship of a household pet without suffering from allergic symptoms.

LIFESTYLE PETS began deliveries of the ALLERCA GD kittens to eager customers in 2006, and you too can now own a LIFESTYLE PETS hypoallergenic kitten. Prices for the three LIFESTYLE PETS hypoallergenic breeds currently available are as follows:

ALLERCA GD : $7,900

CHAKAN GD : $10,900

ASHERA GD : $31,000

2. I just looked up the updated information
The $3500 price tag was 4 years ago. The company jacked up its prices since then, probably because the demand was too great. I would like to get one of those kitties myself--maybe even two--but first, I'd have to hit the powerball lottery.

5. I can't see the cost benefit vs treatment against cat allegies
That cat is only going to be alive for so long against the added benefit of one's allergy treatment against other allergens. What about the added cost of getting more than one cat?

Frankly, I think it's a colossal waste of money

6. While 5 million animals die in shelters every year, no.
I'd never buy a pet, and PharmaGod invented anti-allergens for a reason.

Believe it or not, I'm allergic to dog dander. I do fine.

9. If I had that kind of money, I wouldn't use it to purchase a cat,
but if my sweet little fuzzy butt were ill or injured; I'd beg, borrow or steal that kind of bucks to get him well. Okay, maybe not steal. Possibly.

10. No, but I WOULD spend $4,327 - $43,688 for a cat
People that would spend $7900-31,000 are fucking morans.

11. After I count all the cat food and litter I've bought over 14 years
I already HAVE.

She's worth it.
