So what’s a woman to do once she gets older, her kids are no
longer a priority and she finds herself living alone? Many have gone the route
of “cat lady” but not me. That will never happen unless I happen to win the
lottery or find myself longing to live on skid row. Let me explain: recently I
got a free kitty. Wow! Who knew free
could be so misleading and expensive! After shots, neutering, micro-chipping,
three (count them, THREE!) trips to the vet for upper respiratory problems and an
eye infection, kitty food, kitty litter, and toys my free little friend has done a major number (pun intended) to my
budget. Did I have any money reserved for such an expensive kitty? Nope. Am I
scrambling to find money in my budget to not only feed this little guy but my
son and myself as well? Yep. Even though my furry buddy has created havoc with
my already constrained budget I have to admit, he’s actually worth it. There
has not been a day that has gone by since he entered our home that I haven’t
laughed out loud at his hilarious antics. He reminds me daily how great life can
be the moment you wake up, what adventures lie ahead and he has the ability to
calm nerves by being available for nightly snuggles. Guess it’s true what they
say, the best things in life are free…sorta.
