The sort of pleasure worth spending over 1200 quid on is illegal with a cat. He should have drowned it and bought the bike.Abitrary said:

Hell, don't do that. It'll only cost you a shed load more cash and endanger any upgrade plans to your current steed

for the sake of £7 a month, you had to fork out £1200 and now blame the cat, not yourself. nice one.
when our cat got hit by a car and spent a month in intensive care while they tried to fix him before he sadly had to be put down, the bill would have been £2500 but I only had to pay, yes, £7.

Put it down to experience, and take the cat out for a ride on your bike. Very fast. Downhill.

What sort of world are we living in when we can afford the time, expertise and money to have freakin scraggy moggy in intensive care for a month?
I am not insuring it, I don't feel like kicking him today but he's had enough out of me, over £1500 this year. I didn't even want the bloody thing but took it off a neighbour with mental health problems who couldn't cope with it, and this is the thanks I get
Cats, Schmats.
I wonder if you can cook 'em?
I've had a few since I was a small child and I have to say I wouldn't have one again if it was my choice. Yes, they can be lovely company and fun and cute so might be worthwhile if I was stuck in the house as a lonely OAP. But they're usually more trouble than they're worth and costly.
My last two were inherited from sister-in-law who split from boyfriend, went travelling and then moved into a flat which wasn't 'appropriate' for cats due to it being on an main road and we (wife and I) reluctantly agreed to have them. Within 6 months she had another cat and refused to take the other 2 back (I suspect they reminder her of her former boyfriend who was God on earth - but still slept with a workmate - not sure how you do that; she loved him, in-laws loved him even though he had gone on a Shagfest, but that's another story). Divine retribution arrived when aforesaid third cat got run over. Yes, I felt sorry for the cat, but I can't say I didn't smirk at the news.
Moral of the story - is there one? Don't trust your wife's sister (or her boyfriend).

I'm afraid in the circumstances described I would have retired to the back garden and performed a very delicate invasive procedure, involving a high velocity interface between the cat's head and a spade.
Having said that, you're daft for not insuring the thing - our cat was insured and on the occasions when he fell ill, they would provide us with a courtesy cat, free of charge. Often it was rather different to our own cat, but it certainly was a big help.
