And if worse comes to worse, you don't have to feed it. And, yes, I know
it's hypothecial situation, but it's a stupid one and I was pointing out
why I'd still have no sympathy for you if you found out that you were
having a baby and that left you no money for a cat.

For some people, the arrival of a baby brings about many changes such
as "belt-tightening" in many places, including getting rid of a cat or
cats.


And they shouldn't have had a baby then! They shoudl have used birth
control until they didn't have to do such tight belt tightening. Sorry,
but that's the truth. Just cuase they were irresponsible (to both cat and
kid) dosen't mean I'm going to sympathize with them.

Why? So I could keep the cat? If the only way I could have a child is
to dump the cat, then so be it.


Because as I said, if having the baby meant you had so litlte money you
had to get rid of the cat, then you really couldn't have afforded the baby
anyways! Getting rid of the cat isn't even going to give you enough money
for the health insurance. And forget getting any medical care if you
couldn't afford the health insurance. Even a dr's exam is expensive (90
dollars just for a sick exam at the place near me and for a full checkup,
it can run in the hundreds). I know, I'm without health insurance.
