Hi there,
Many thanks for the constructive criticisms.
Please allow me to elaborate more on what I meant.
I concur that the reason to adopt is because we want to give a home i.e. having new family members.
When I meant economical, I mean it in the sense that it makes more logical sense to spend the money on taking care of the cat, as opposed to paying the pet store, and ending up having less for the cats.
To put it in monetary terms;
Adoption cost (let's say from PAWS/SPCA) : RM100 (including vaccinations and such)
Paying for a cuddly cat put on display at the pet store : RM1,400++
From the get-go, paying from the pet store would set the buyer RM1,300 less than adopting.
Which in turn means less to care for the cat.
It may mean that the cat may get substandard food/toys.
^ That was I meant.
In no way did I imply that I plan to get cat because it is economical per se.
