What concerns me is...

I know some of us have little money in here and have to stick to a tight budget. But I just wondered, how can you "afford" a cat?? I mean, at any given illness/problem, the vet bill can be thousands of dollars! (Thinking of Felix and his ongoing problems w/his ears and spending well over $3,000.00 so far).

I have seen the good folks of RPCA help each other with sick kitty issues, however I just don't understand how someone can own a cat... but can't afford it. Frankly, it worries me. :-(
