I understand everything about vet bills being double ( as i said in the original post) and i very well understand cats can get sick. My boyfriend would also like these guys (he doesnt want one to be lonely) and will help me pay for yearly vet bills (and emergency) and food and litter when he can (he gets a good amount of unemployment that he wastes. Since Wally was My cat and i didn't feel he needed to pay anything as i had it undercontrol).
Medusa, with Wally i was haveing a little trouble getting him to vet because it was a specialist 4 or 5 towns over. But from that whole experiance i learned i have plenty of friends and family willing to take me if need be. When i posted about no ride i was more freaking out then being rational. So once i made calls to people i didn't think of at first i had no problem.
