Only if the two of you are married and have consummated the union...

Well ... a question that I ask myself every tax season. Unfortunately even though you may consider the kitty to be your precious child, the government may not take that point of view. So, keep buying food, healthcare and treats for the little angel, but don't expect anything back from the feds. If you do, you'll get in big trouble. :)

We all have that dream! However the average four legged family member, who costs as much as a human doesn't qualify as a dependent.
There is one exception, you need to talk to a CPA... if you are a breeder and earn an income from him/her. He won't be a dependent, but might be a deduction

Would be nice but how dependant is your cat Really. If you didn't feed it I'm sure it would say 'screw you' and go find another house that would or go out into the wild and live off birds n mice.

You know sometimes I wish I could also,But alas I'm afraid the answer is no!The government seems to think that having a pet goes under the listing of luxury!

You must somehow connive to get the feline a Soc Sec number.
Tough job nowadays, but used to be popular in the 50s.

No, because of the fact there is not any such element as a based cat. by potential of their nature, they are somewhat self sustaining. they might seem to be based, yet it rather is because of the fact by potential of nature they are additionally somewhat lazy. Listening for the can opener is plenty extra handy than going out and killing a mouse. canine, on the different hand, are by potential of nature somewhat stupid and consequently based on their vendors for each thing--which incorporate baths and disposing of their "organization." you will desire to declare them on your tax return, yet, unfortunately, you will choose a Social protection variety.

either this question is a joke or you are as stupid as this question, of course you CANT claim your cat/animals as a dependant

though people pamper their pets like their kids, they still can not claim them as their dependent to get tax relief.

No. Animals, dear pets included, are "property" under the law.
