But then, Akram shared the receipt of the haircut and the other commentators were in disbelief.
Telling Akram that he got 'ripped off' all of them had a big laugh.

"I had a cat haircut yesterday. I had to pay 1000 dollars for it. They had to sedate the cat, they had to keep the cat, they had to feed the cat. I said I would have bought 200 cats in Pakistan for that money, said Akram on air.

The fellow commentators then shared the breakdown of the invoice that had A$105 for a medical check-up, A$305 for anesthesia and A$40 for the haircut.
There were additional charges of A$120 for post-procedure care and A$251 for a cardio test of the cat.
