The IRS knows cats are independent, so they can’t be listed as dependents. Plus they produce hairballs, which make them a small business. Ask the cat, they know who owns whom.
Ah yes, we spent over $5,000 on our cats last year. One had pneumonia, another swallowed grass that stuck in his digestive tract, we adopted a new feral kitten (neutering, declawing, etc.) — all in addition to the usual healthy kitty shots & stuff. Sigh.

I’ll bet Catwoman found a way for her kitties to be tax deductible. Weren’t they under contract with her?

No – you won’t find them in the deduction section. They’re reported on the fee line.

Where is the couple that used to live in their car in woods? Irma and hubby remind me of them, except they are much older.

Sure you can deduct cats, just enter the number on Fee Line 129

As we say, Dogs have Masters, Cats have Staff… but on a serious note, if you foster animals, check this out:

A fad of cat-skin and fur hats might do wonderful things for the economy.

I mean, the economy HAS tanked since the rappers made “Dog” the greeting instead of “Cat”…the economy went to the dogs.
