The Mazda was used daily for my commute, averaged about 19mpg (iirc), required regular tops ups with mineral oil, cost a fortune in road fund license etc.
It was still cheaper per month than the horse that didn’t get ridden much and spent its life in a field of its own food.
Cats Cars aren’t nearly as expensive in upkeep. There is a very good reason people started to switch to cars even before they were a lot faster than horses
Aren’t horses stupid expensive?
My wife had a horse. I had a Mazda RX—8.

And the horse didn’t even have a rotary engine!
Even though I don’t own it any more I still feel obliged to point out the difference….
Nothing like the sound of a wank in the morning
Yeah but a Wankel X-8 doesn’t sound nearly as cool
*and Biodegradable!
Yes.
300-400 ish bucks where I live, it’s way more expensive to keep a horse than to buy one, even for a short time
I mean, so are cars.

True, cats just need a litterbox and kibble and they’re pretty much set.
The ones that are big enough to ride are very expensive again though.
And almost as dangerous as a Tesla! Hey-o!
Yeah, unfortunately.
