If you were that tight on money, why the hell did you have a baby in the
first place?!!!!! Honestly... if having a baby makes it so you can't even
afford to feed the cat, you really don't have enough money to have the
baby anyways beccause you don't have enough money for even the slightest
thing to go wrong. Babies (and health problems and whatnot) are a lot more
expensive than a cat.

I'd say if you were int hat position, you werne't a responsible person and
I feel sorry for both baby and cat that they were in such an irresponsible
person's care that they couldn't wait until they truly could afford the
baby.

Seriously, even with the costs you are saying, if the baby makes your
money that tight, you cannot afford the baby. 50 dollars can easily be
eaten up if your baby ends up having even a common health problem. Shoot,
it probably can easily be taken up just by the added health insurance (if
you can even afford it... most are more expensive for one person than 50
dollars a month) the baby will give you.

once again, I state that if you are in the position you hypothosize, you
should have had some forethought and used birth control!

Alice, if you followed the thread, I stated clearly that it was a
hypothetical situation.

Right. But you can't get cheap WET premium food.

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.

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.

There must be a spelling mistake - it's: car or cars :-)
