Purebred cats are generally more expensive, such as Bengals, mine is just a domestic shorthair that cost £45 to buy from a local farm but it's most likely cheaper to adopt from a shelter (and the cats are easier too, I'm tellin' ya, an 8 week old kitten is much harder to look after than an adult cat).
Not really, getting one might cost between 50 and 700. All depents where you get one. Adopting is mostly the best option though. Yearly you probably end up around 500 bucks, with the food and toys ect. Vet bills can range though, but generaly it shouldn't cost much more.
I would put the effort into keeping a cat healthy once you adopt one. My kitty has a way of getting injured or sick and vet bills can be a little costly.
They are fairly inexpensive. If you adopt from a shelter, they usually already have been spayed/neutered and are up to date on shots. Some of the shelters here have specials where the adoption fee is free for older cats or black cats, as they tend to be hard to find a home for.
They can be initially if you don't adopt one already spayed. If it's an indoor/outdoor cat, you'll need to keep them up to date on de-wormers, shots, and flea/tick removal. Inside cats are less expensive, but more prone to weight gain and hairballs.

They're more expensive than a dog, but require less attention... And the litter smells bad.

Chickens are cheaper.
My cat costs me about $50 a month for food and cat litter. she has her shots and toys and all the other stuff, since i adopted her at 1.5 years old
It depends of what breed you take, consider taking one that is known for a good health and not too much grooming or other care.

Depends on where you get it. I recommend a shelter. They have the sweetest cats. And they are usually not expensive.
