    I don’t hate animals, but pets are expensive. Just spent $225 yesterday on an ear infection. My cat has an allergy we cant figure out. We can’t afford it. Recommending a pet to even a person who likes animals, but stuggles financially isn’t good advice.

    This is my first pet, and I probably won’t get another just because cost is high for vet care and food/litter. We have two cats and we spend probably $200 a month or more just for necessities before vet visits. Flea/tick meds are monthly and $100 just for the two of em. So make that $300 a month on necessities, aye…
