To add another sad story would be..........
I have a fren here, early this year when she adopted few DSH kittens I was very happy. When I went to her house, I notice she has made her house cat proof, the cat being taken to vet, treated well taken care off. I was very pleased. But time pass....last week she sms me telling me her female cats escaped, will they be coming back she asked. I asked her were your cats on heat she said yes...I told her not to worry her cat will be back once they finish mating but she can look forward for some kittens in the near future. For sure the cats return back too....few days later she told me the cats escaped and she's not going to bother this time...let the cat come back if they want too....
Yesterday I went to her house, saw one of her female cat at the porch and notice her son happily chasing the cat away.....I ask her isn't this your cat ? She said yes. Why aren't you keeping them indoors anymore ? Guess what she told....."they are getting a little bit difficult to take care these days" so I just leave them food at the porch for them to eat. Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! I was so pissed off....another stray in the making!!!!! It doesn't matter how highly someone can be educated, or what ranking they hold....certain groups of people to me never what to change for the better.
End of the story don't get a cat if you can't take care of it for life (either yours or theirs ). Simple as that.

I think is not the matter of can't afford in most cases, is more to lack of responsibility. So as simple as it is.....don't get a pet! Get a soft toy instead.
