Have a cat, was planned. Feel obligated cause i rescued her ass 8 years ago, and she's really easy and low maintenance.
The big dog i have was rescued after an elderly family member passed away and there was no one else to take her in.
I love her to pieces but i definitely wont be getting another 60 pound+ dog in a 3 floor walk up! 😩

"Darling, do you remember when we said, before we have kids we should have a pet and before that a plant to see if we can handle the responsibility?"
"Yes, sure! Why do you bring that up?"
"Well, the basile withered again."
I get it, I really do. And come time to say final goodbyes, the pain is almost unbearable. But man, waking up to finding out you're in the middle of a furry sleepstack with warm, fuzzy friends who purr and cozily nuzzle up to you on a cold winter's night is something else entirely. Wouldn't want to miss it for anything.
Oh, and kids are allright, I guess.

You are missing out on opportunities to have poop in interesting locations of your house.
You mean poop in interesting unknown locations I, an adult, can poop in locations way more interesting than any animal or child.
And think of the vomit!

Look, I can barely take care of myself some days.
Honestly, the cat helps me on that front. And unlike a child, I can ethically just give her some drugs and turn the TV when I don’t feel like dealing with her right that minute.

Pets are a lot for sure, and you shouldn't have them if you don't have the capacity or bandwidth to care for them. That being said, my pets have drastically helped my mental health. I can't imagine what going through the quarantine would have been like without them.

not feeling obligated to clean up someone else's poo is a really enjoyable life quality.
