I actually used that argument in my head when I was deciding to get Morley treated with radioactive iodine. I've had numerous bills relating to my older car, and I hated spending money on it but felt I had to. Sure, I could get rid of the car completely, but that's the cost of owning a car. Same with the cost of having pets. You have to realize that sometimes they can be costly, and you have to keep that in mind when you adopt one.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to force people to do things they don't want to, it's completely their personal choice. My choice was to spend money to buy a few more years with my beloved cat. It wouldn't be everyone's choice, and I'm fully aware of that.
