I know that it’s entirely deranged for anybody to compare their pets to children.
Obviously, having a furry critter around your feet is entirely not the same as raising a human child.
That being said… My pet honestly is one of the neediest pets on the planet. And I do feel like half of my life is committed to taking care of this pet, rather than myself. I know that people entirely feel I am exaggerating, but you could even ask my central heating, cooling, and air quality control business if you do not feel the lengths that I will go to 4 this critter. For instance, when I first got the kitten and realized that my air vents were too large. The kitten could legitimately enter the air vents and meander through the extensive air duct system without me noticing. I had to change all of my ventilation fronts just to keep her from perishing in the ductwork. Then, I found out that my pet had a terrible dust sensitivity problem. Every time the central heating, cooling, and air quality control system kicked into gear I noticed that she was sneezing and coughing horribly. She started losing patches of hair while in the seasons when I had to operate the air conditioning unit or forced air furnace extensively. I had to replace all of my Heating and A/C device and install air purification devices to take care of her indoor dust sensitivity needs. After that, I thought that I was dwelling free… Until my pet started having indoor temperature complaints. After the zone controlled Heating and A/C was installed, though, I knew I was done.
