I know that it’s absolutely ridiculous for anybody to compare their pets to children.
Obviously, having a furry critter around your feet is absolutely not the same as raising a human child.
That being said… My animal truthfully 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 absolutely assume I am exaggerating, but you could even ask my central heating, cooling, plus air quality control worker if you do not assume the lengths that I will go to 4 this critter. For instance, when I first got the kitten plus realized that my air vents were too large. The kitten could genuinely enter the air vents plus wander through the extensive air duct system without me noticing. I had to change all of my ventilation fronts just to keep his from perishing in the HVAC duct. Then, I found out that my animal had a terrible allergy problem. Every time the central heating, cooling, plus air quality control system kicked into gear I noticed that he was sneezing plus coughing horribly. She started losing patches of hair during the seasons when I had to operate the a/c unit or forced air furnace extensively. I had to replace all of my HVAC component plus install air purification devices to take care of his indoor allergy needs. After that, I thought that I was condo free… Until my animal started having indoor temperature complaints. After the zone controlled HVAC was installed, though, I knew I was done.
