I spent $4000 on my cat recently, but it was one of those ones that sneak up on you ($2000 for tests and a stay at an emergency clinic, then needed another stay a week later for another $2000). He'll also need about $200/month or so for medications for the rest of his life. If we hadn't already spent the first $2000 before knowing all the other costs we might have given some careful thought before spending that much, but on the other hand he's a great cat and has responded extremely well to treatment.
