Both my Doll and Muffin loved water, so bathing once a month was a fun bonding time for us. I finally had to give it up when my torn rotator cuff made the blow drying too difficult. Then I switched to a professional groomer about every six weeks.
As far as veterinary costs go (after the first 6 months when they are getting neutered and first immunizations) with a generally healthy cat, figure on one annual check-up for the first 8-9 years, shots every 3 years (depending on your state or country). You doctor may offer insurance or an in house health plan that covers all sorts of things at somewhat reasonable prices.
