How much is the kitty in the window? $22,000
Forget about Labradoodles, Puggles and Schnoodles. Costly crossbreed felines are the latest designer hybrid to hit the catwalk

...

The Ashera, an exclusive product of Brodie's firm, Lifestyle Pets, resembles a little leopard and can weigh up to 30 pounds. But it's more suited for lounging than stalking prey.

Brodie used a "secret recipe" to mix an African serval and Asian leopard cat with a domestic cat, to create the world's most expensive feline hybrid.

 

Although an Ashera costs $22,000 (plus $6,000 for the premium placement option, which will expedite kitten delivery by about six months) ...

 

In Malaysian Ringgit terms, that means about RM66,000++ for some exotic companionship.

Recommended Cat Products: For-Bid 12 Doses

Unfortunately, it’s an unhealthy, unsanitary, and downright unpleasant habit. Forbid can be sprinkled on the cat’s food in order to make the stool unpalatable. The ingredients in Forbid work in the digestive system to give the stool a very unpleasant taste.

 

The short product blurb evokes an OMG! effect.. Note especially the last line: "work in the digestive system... to give the stool a very unpleasant taste". (As if stools do not already taste unpleasant.)
