Anyways... my family adopted those two kittens if you remember from previous posts. We took them to the vet a little bit ago, to see how old they were, and to see how much it would cost to get them neutered. Well, apparently it's crazy expensive to have them get their shots, and neuter them, and have their front claws removed. (Personally, I would prefer them to keep their claws... because I think it's ridiculous to take them out. It's not like we have anything worth protecting in the house... Let the rip it up!) My dad was kind of worried about the cost. We aren't exactly the richest family out there, and we need to pinch pennies wherever we can. So to spend this much money on two kittens we've had for a few weeks seems a little strange. He presented the family with the idea that we might not be able to keep the kittens if we couldn't find the money to "take care of them". And when that idea was met with cries of outrage and the whining of almost every family member, my dad decided to go ahead and get the job done. The kittens now have an appointment on Tuesday to have all of their hopes and dreams demolished. I'm excited that we get to keep them. But I'm not sure how I feel about this whole operation. I feel like the shots are a good idea, even human children need shots. I guess I just feel guilty that they're not going to be able to have little babies of their own. I'm ruining their body because I want a pet. I just don't feel like it's right...
