>>104666462The real reason you shouldn’t want to have a cat is because in 14-15 years they’ll end up getting an incurable form of cancer, and you’ll be forced to watch as the life slowly drains from them, and the energetic friend you loved becomes quickly unable to even muster up the strength to stand up, let alone eat, but God damn it he tries for you. Youll be forced to watch as the rumors rupture his skin so he can’t even walk without tracking blood on the floor, and you’ll try to mitigate it by removing one of his toes only to find that didn’t help anything at all. You’ll be forced to make the horrible decision to either extend his life knowing it will be filled with suffering, or to be the one responsible for ending it in a controlled way where he won’t feel anything and you can hold him in your arms as he passes on. You’ll feel guilt about it forever and you won’t be able to think about how you FAILED HIM without crying, and so you’ll suppress it until something brings it to the front of your mind again and now that’s all you can think about
Fuck
