Gosh that was interesting, it appears prices really vary in different states,countries, I sure hope you guys are not suggesting that because we can get a young cat for $35 dollars that it would be used for bait, horrifying,people who adopt from our shelters just donot do that, there would be plenty free ones available., and hopefully not used for that, but its a coincidence you mention this, only last night I was at a person's house buying something through the local paper, she had heaps of cats, being the cat lover I am, I asked how many, she said nine, we love cats, hubby was there cuddling one, he piped up and said yes we rescued these two from being eel bait.

I was sickened to hear that he said these people used kittens for this, and had no problem showing their children, I was so repulsed, I could not believe this actually happens, where is the SPCA when they are needed.

I am in two minds about prices, if they are too high, then alot of people won't adopt, they will simply take the free ones in the paper, I do however think whatever price is paid, it is not expensive, as you all mentioned it cost much more to do all the medical stuff etc.
