Sounds like a great opportunity to stack them in a garage and pay my teenager to clean all that crap up

$10K /year? 3-5. Assuming I can treat them like any other pet

Wife not hot or what?

With 100 cats, you could afford a new wife

Eddie

1/30/23 9:49am

100 cats. Buy 10K square foot house. Half for me and half for the cats. Hire a caretaker for the cats.

Well after year 1 you’d presumably make enough that you could build a cat

Wait, that's $10,000 per year, not per month? Deal's off.

I'd get 100 more then.

ochobeeguy
