I never understood why people thought getting a pet was such a big deal.
Sure, there was walking the dog, or cleaning the litter box. But aside from those things and from feeding the pet, what more was there? Aside from a few minor details.
I've been to the vet three times in the past couple of weeks, and each trip has cost me hundreds of dollars. The next time a child or an insane adult proposes getting a cat, you can show them these numbers:
Vet consult: $40
Blood test: $12 (every two weeks until we figure out the right insulin level)
Insulin: $88 for a small bottle
Special Diabetic Cat Food: $32 for 24 cans (1 can a day)
Thyroid meds: $47 (100 pills - 2 pills a day)
Frontline: $95 for 6 months ($190 with two cats.)
Dog Frontline: $99 for 6 months
Heartworm meds: $47 for 6 months.
Individually, it doesn't look to bad, but when you're about to leave with your kitty and you look at the $500 bill... it can hurt your brain.

Um, isn't the answer to the first question in your case, "We already have 3 of them!" ??
