I had a conversation about my cats (the one I still have and the one I just lost) and all the health problems and vet trips with a coworker. She said "you must have spent a lot of money on cats".

My doctor gave me an actual prescription for two cats, but the board was not moved. I could never live without animals and I couldn't begin to live in a place where no one had animals. That seems completely unnatural to me. Animals are family.

kitties were right around me (not exactly watching it...well, maybe one of the cats took a look now and then!). But I was surrounded by my 4 legged family members and watching a favorite show. Couldn't be beat!

I firmly believe that anyone that thinks otherwise either has no pets or doesn't deserve the ones they have.
