BUT... I have three young, healthy cats. If one of them was 16 years old and on medication to keep it alive, and I couldn't afford it, I'd have it put to sleep. They are my angels, and they are my responsibility, but they are not humans. One has to prioritize.
My cats aren't human either, they are better then that. I know because they have told me so many times.

GtG
PS Dogs have owners. Cats have staff!
