I have gone into debt for Cubby, I had to barrow money that I didn't have and I knew I wouldn't be able to pay it back for a while because of his food and vet treatment. I know it didn't cost that much but at the time it cost us alot more than what we had. Thank god I was working and could get food at my work. I would bring food home for hubby that week just so we could get by. I love Cubby more than anything in this world. Same with Gracie. Although Gracie is a new comer to the house hold, she is still loved more than anything.

Hubby always told me that if he has to spend more than 500$ on a *CAT* he would just have to put it to sleep. His values are changing more and more every day. He now believes that Cubby deserves the best life we can give him. I explained to him that if he made me choose between him and Cubby I would take Cubby. Cubby wouldn't be the one to make me choose, he wouldn't understand what's going on if I had to give him up. I am the only mother he knows. He is my child, I tell him that his Grandma is going to come see him. Along with Gracie. They know we love them.

Gracie is a daddy's girl so much so, that Corey slept in the living room on an air bed last night just so Gracie didn't have to sleep in her cage on Christmas. Everyone in my family knows my pets are my children. All of my friends know they are my children. If any one talks bad about them I take it very personal. It's like telling me that I failed as a mother because they don't like my cat because he has an attitude or what ever it may be that they are complaining about. I refuse to lock my pets up when people come over that don't like them. That gives me even more reason to leave them out of their cage or room. If you don't like my cat or my dog then stay the hell out of my house.

If someone is allergic to my cat then yes he does go into the bedroom. As soon as they leave he gets let out and he gets treats for being such a good boy. I feed my animals before I buy food for my self. We are here to protect them and give them everything they need and want. Who is to judge how much we spend on our animals? I am not here to judge and no else is either. That is God's job to judge us!

Sorry this is so long. I am a true animal lover and I can't live with out them.
