No one should have a baby if they can't afford it. (With their own, not
tax-payer money.) You are quite right. I didn't see the start of this
thread but what I have seen makes me wonder...if you can't afford to keep
your cat because you have a baby, what happens if you have another baby? Do
you get rid of the first baby?

No, you get rid of your spouse :- I don't know how the best way to
handle this situation because I've never been in this situation. I
suppose you can:
- borrow money from relatives, friends, credit card companies, home
equity loan, etc.
- get a grant from the government -- i.e., get money that other
tax-payers worked for
- etc.

Again, my position is I'd do infinitely more for my child/ren than for
my cat/s.
