[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don’t get this elderly person a cat. 1. It limits the aides you can hire (some may be allergic, or just not do pet stuff.) 2. It’s more $$$ (vet bills, food, etc.) at a time when funds need to be focused on care of the human—your mother. 3. No one can predict the future, but it’s likely that you will then have to rehome this cat sooner rather than later, when you mother has to move to a full-fledged nursing home or passes away.[/quote] All good reasons. My parents did have a cat in the past, after we "girls" we're out of the house and Dad was still working, but he was the one to feed it, scoop the litter, take it to the vet. This cat idea is not good. Hopefully, she will have forgotten about it when I see her today. [/quote]
