my dad has been pushing for a cat from me ever since i told him that i wanted to adopt one. specifically one that is short haired (we have asthma and strong allergies so we aren’t particularly sure how we’ll react), orange, and young. as much as i would love for that, i don’t know why in my heart, i can’t help but want to adopt an old cat.
actually, i’ve always wanted to live my whole life adopting old cats because why not? it’s not to say that i think cats are accessories or toys that i can just pick up at the shelters. they do have their responsibilities and i acknowledge that so don’t worry!
everyday i make it a goal to give back to people, so why can’t i do the same with cats? in exchange for my comfort, i get to witness life and be someone’s source of well-being, which is exactly what i strive for! plus, i’m not too worried about them passing in the near future. death isn’t something that phases me. and to give a cat some of it’s last memories before passing is beautiful to me. i guess the only cons i can think of are possibly large bills due to old age and possible grief if i do end up being really attached to the cat.
any thoughts? do you think this is a good mindset to have?
