Cats

fondue!

Had a fleeting consideration last weekend to get a cat. I confessed this over fondue at Eliza's place last week.

But I talked myself out of it:

* COSTS: food, litter box and related items, carrier, etc.
* SPACE: where will the litter box go??
* CARE: who will take care of the cat while I'm away? Eliza's volunteered, but she already has two cats...

That's the other point. Both Eliza and Kristin say I must get two cats, so they can play with each other. Two! Actually, what put me off the most was the potential veterinary bills. After Ebi was diagnosed with chylothorax, I would say I wouldn't be able to afford keeping a cat with similar medical problems alive.


Tako's a cute critter.
