As much as I adore the thought of getting a kite (Jen word for cat), what will you do when you come home? You'll never be able to tear yourself apart from it, I miss my boys after a night or two. And you can't just leave it with your family... there are so many adult kitties in shelters already. It will only be 2-3 years into a 12-20 year lifespan (for an indoor cat).
I'm being the annoying person agreeing with your mother. I feel like I'd be a hypocrite telling you to get a kitten just because I love them when I'm so against getting pets when you can't care for them for their life and they end up in shelters.
What about an adult cat that no one wants to adopt? There are plenty of them in shelters, and usually the end up staying there the rest of their lives because no one will take them.
1. Scary.
ReplyDelete2. Did you have all the DVDs back in Australia?
3. Good luck!
Here's my haiku for you:

Pets can make your day!

DOn't get a pet - seriously - you are going overseas for over a month - AND - it will break your heart when you have to come home

ReplyDeleteI can't do haikus very well but gosh, how scary!
ReplyDeleteAfter visiting a friend recently I want a bearded dragon. He was v cute. But very expensive I'm sure.

Maybe something that doesn't live as long?
