So I grew up in a house with no pets at all. I have a younger sister that got a pet after I moved out but my family never had one when I was a kid. I always liked animals but never had my own. I have been married 15 years and my wife was not able to have children so we rescued 2 kittens a few years ago. I completely underestimated how attached I would become to these little guys. I also completely underestimated how expensive they can be when they get sick. They kind of picked their humans. Their names are Salem and Dubbz. Salem picked me and he is spoiled as shit. They both are. So last night he start crying and wont let anyone near him which is unheard of because he is an attention whore and loves everyone. I have to take him to the emergency Veterinary clinic which charges 4x normal rates and he has to get emergency catheter and antibiotics plus a ton of other things. He leaves stable but they tell me he has to go to the vet first thing in the morning and hand me a bill for $1119. The normal Vet bill ends up being another $240 but he is supposed to make a full recovery and they gave me antibiotics and pain pills for him that he loves lol. So I basically spent all my Ship money on him. How does he repay me? By lounging around my house high on drugs and sleeping with my wife. Despite all that I wouldn't trade him for anything. Spaceships are nice Best friends are infinitely better. Rescue a Kitten.
