What are they going to do if their cat gets sick with something that requires expensive treatment?
This.
If you’re not prepared to commit to an animal, don’t fucking get one.
It’s not rocket science.
No, pets are not children. They’re animal companions that are dependent on humans to look after them.
And if you’re just going to have a pet killed or get rid of it because it becomes an inconvenience you don’t deserve to fucking have it.
Get yourself a rock or a log.
I believe it's a tribble. All it does is eat, lay about, and make noises.
It has claws. It is not allowed past the kitchen. I put in a screen door to keep it away from the good furniture.
It also has no nuts. It lost them - plus one eye when my SO picked it up off the road after getting hit by a car. She spent waaaayy too much money at the vet on this lump of fur. She' s had it 10 years and they have lived with me for 6.
Should it get sick - requiring expensive treatment - it will fall to me to euthanize it.
I like the lump enough to do it for him, rather than dragging it to the vet to be " put to sleep"... (Put to sleep - a phrase invented by a politician... It must be. Only a professional liar could say it with a straight face)
