RE: Has Any One Done the Math on what it cost to Manifest A NewBorn Kitten ?
Back when I was auctioneering, I was always trying to remind people that one box costs around 150L to produce, and that is without adding the cost of tier. (But also, that is no longer necessarily needed, as we now have the cattery)
While more precise calculations are of course also helpful, this is the ONE number I kept in my head at all times: One breeding pair of kitties that eats kibble and drinks milk ~ 150 L / Week, or 600 L / Month.
Add tier, shop rent, collars, vitamins etc.etc.etc., and KittyCats can indeed be an expensive hobby if you do not manage to sell some cats - but if you have the money that is fine of course.
What saddens me is those that never gave the cost a thought, and ended up ruining themselves due to that. I helped quite a few careless kitty-breeders "sort" their cattery, and it was always a sad task.
That's why I insist people ought to be aware of the cost - so we can remain happy kitty breeders instead of sad ones that has nasty surprises and WAY too many cats.
