That website is ridiculously addictive.
Sadly, I only got a high of 41 in the short time I played.:-/

It's tricky. Reminds me of the GRE. Two half steps forward, one full step back.

GRE?

Graduate Record Exam. It's like the SAT for grad school, but more stupid.

Totally offtopic comment, but can you be kind enough to give me a rundown on monthly cat related expenses? Or, if you really don't want to go to that kind of trouble, just give me what you think you usually spend on litter and catfood and etc. (I'll just divide that by 2 to get a better idea)

Well, a large bag of cat food (which lasts roughly a month and a half for two cats) costs around $15-30, depending on what kind you get. A container of litter, which if you just have one litterbox would probably last you at least a month, costs around $10-20.

Maintenance costs for cats are really low. What will be expensive is the purchasing of a cat (cats over a year old are generally cheaper), the initial vaccinations (again, if the cat is not a kitten, there are fewer of these), and if you want them to be declawed, which ran us ~300 per cat for the front two paws.

...declawed...which ran us ~300 per cat..."
Wow. That's a lot more than I expected. Did you ever look into getting the cats claws capped, instead of removed and how much that costs in comparison?
Also. A kitten from the local SPCA only costs 65 dollars, and that's with all it's shots, screens, and sterilization.

...it's shots, screens, and sterilization.
Also covers license and rfid tagging.
