actually, $5(<---a little exagerated, but sometimes that is a reality) dollars is pushing our budget. we're trying not to spend foolishly and we're barley able to afford food for ourselves. (stuff like no movies, no new cloths(can you say "needle and thread"), and going to bargin food centers.) (but King still gets premium dog food and allll vet stuff.)

anyhoo...
let me start off by saying that normally i don't see myself as having a cat in my life. though i love paying attention to them else where.

there was a kitten dropped off at my s.o.'s g,ma's house/farm. and it has a broken paw (we think it's paw was broke when it was dropped off). and it won't(-->*) let anyone near it. and she doesn't want it as a house cat. so it's going to be an outdoor barn cat. well, w/ our winters and a broken paw, i see no chance of survival for this little guy (i actually think that he is a she). (*--> ) well, w/in ten minutes i was petting the cat and had named it and it was comming to me by name. it is so hard for me not to feel obligated to this creature that has put it's faith in me alone. (*wants to break down and cry*)
if i know it won't cost too much for alll the stuff and i can save up w/ in a month i am willing to take it in if King lets me and if g.ma. says it's ok. my s.o. already said it is ok if all of the other three things happen. (i already seen that the cat gets along great w/ dogs.)

i have never felt an animal need me soooo much before. (i mean if i wanted a cat that was going to fit my personality type, there is a perfect one at Petsmart.)

i could take the kitten to the rescue group, but i don't know if g.ma. would allow it. (and it has soooo much faith in me!)

and the least i want to do is get that paw fixed even if i can't keep it.

so, besides, what to some of us is a very hurtful remark, i would seriously like to know...HOW MUCH SHOULD IT COST!!!???
