How do you figure it costs more than $3.32/day to feed one cat, unless
you mean the cat in question isn't a typical household feline? My two
house cats are fed one can of 'wet' cat food per day between the two of
them, and that can costs about $0.50/can, if it's not on sale. So,
that's about $15/month. That does not count the price of dry food,
though. Cat#2 does need to be put on a 'diet' though, since she's
getting a bit too plump!
