I've posted about the possibility of us taking in a third 'senior' cat. He has to undergo further testing before the shelter will adopt him out. My family is very excited about the chance of Tommy coming to live with us. He will be the second cat in about a month that we've adopted.
I just cannot get over the negativity I've been getting about this. People treating me like I'm dumb, like I don't know the expense of owning a pet. And I even had one woman tell me "I hope you know that the 10 yr old cat could live to be 19 and the two younger ones could die of cancer" WHAT?
I DO realize the cost that comes from having furbabies. I DO have enough room in my house AND my heart for these cats that otherwise would probably not have a chance to live elsewhere.
I have gotten some awesome feedback, but more negative than not. I just can't believe some people *sigh*. Thank you for letting me vent.
