I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

How is a used cat a better value than a new cat? Both are free, but the new one lasts longer.
new cats (esp very new cats) need lots of care and attention, vaccinations, and, at around edit: ~~a year~~ six months old, need to be neutered. this can come with a lot of costs for the kitty-parents. used cats come with much of this taken care of already and are far more independent.
regarding "value"-- that may be a matter of opinion, considering how adorable kittens are.
That's exactly why I always buy used cars. They come pre-neutered.
I got a new car and forgot, and now im swimming in scooters 😫
You should be spaying or neutering your cats way before 1 year.
It's around 4-5 months.
hmm, I guess it's been a while for me. I think that, for males, around a year might be when it's hitting the red line for when it might be too late and they can start spraying/marking?
Yeah, and with both it can prevent some hormone related cancers down the road.
Is that what Bob Barker told you?
I don't remember Bob going into that level of detail about it.
I see you've never had to bottle feed a 3 week old kitten every 4 hours.
Used cat comes with experience
Used cat has probably been rescued so probably better giving it a new lease of life
