and lets not forget responsibility. when you adopt a pet you have an obligation (morally) to provide that animal with the best life you are able, anything less and you're just an asshole who shouldn't be allowed to own a pet.

my cats (i have three, 1 for each of my children) are part of the family and even though they are adopted, they are still part of the family, until the day they die. i wouldn't change my feeling's on that for any woman on the planet.
