Would you give up your life for a pet?

It is truly depends upon the situation. HMMppp... but if that case happen to me, i could say i wouldn't. We people are indeed different from each other..we have different point of views in life, different likes and dislikes .... Maybe that friend of yours really just got too much attachment with those cats, that he could give up everything he has, just to be with those cats... and we should not judge him harshly. Let's just accept, that's how he views life. living with those cats. :) and besides we are all out from it. That's his life..... God bless everyone :)

i was shocked too. First,it is so difficult for me to give up all my things just for a pet.I was kinder selffish .so i can't understand him. and then ,i was chocked for the firm and deep emotion between he and his cats.I think he is a man with a nice heart.

Materials and stuffs,you can still buy them,money,you can still get them,jobs,You can still find one.Everything got purpose and I can say his true pet lover.I do have 5 hamsters and doing the best for them.Somehow,It feels different and these pets are just like family and maybe for him,it's just making they are the reason to live.

Honestly, I cannot give up my life for a pet, In my life, I have to do a lot of things for my family and my self. FOr me, family is the most important, and I will do everything to make my family happy and have a great life.

These cats maybe the important part of his life.There are many people who looks their pets as the members of their families. The story reminds me of the recall.When I was a little girl,I have a special friend,she is a dog.Every morning she wound keep me company when I was running.When I was doing the homework ,she wound sleep quietly near my desk.After Ifinishing the homework,I wound play with her.Whether I have delicious food,I like share it with her.Unfortunary,she too old to die.At that time,I cried many times and I was in a bad mood some days.Even I told myself that I wound never feed pets anymore.Because I wound hurt when my pets leave me oneday.Now I have no pets but I want to have one oneday.Whether you ask me why,sorry I dont know. Is it conflict ,right? Yes, I often do something conflictly.

Well animals are cute and fuzzy wussie and humans are not,animals are loyal to their owners in ways that other people are not to each other. If people did not need to bar others from owning pets then pet lovers wouldn't have to move into barns.

i will have too be honest here - i think i won't be able to give up my life for anyone (pets or person) other than my mom. i would really not even consider right at this very moment... i only have only my mom in my mind now that i am willing to give up my life for.

It's odd but I don't think I would give up all of that. I would find a way to make it work like some other people already said about apartments. That's the only thing that I can see myself having to give up for my dog. But I live in a place where the landlord accepts dogs so I'm happy about that. On the other hand when I move out and get my own place I'll make sure that I get an apartment where they accept dogs because I don't think I would be able to give my dog up. She is just way too dear for me to give up. She's my baby and I would try my hardest to find a suitable living situation for the both of us. I don't really see any other situations where I would have to give up my family for her or my job.

I would. BUT.. I would not give up my job.. because that is something I am going to need to support them. But If I lost my apartment or house. I would live in my car with my pets (or somewhere) before I gave them up. I don't understand his logic behind giving up his jobs for them.

That seems a bit extreme. I love my pets. I have 3 dogs, but I wouldn't give up everything, sell all my belongings for them. There comes a point where you still need a livable situation. Some people consider their pets their kids. I guess in that perspective maybe I kind of understand. I would give up everything for my son, but while I love my dogs, they aren't on the same level as my kid.

i love my cats dearly,i treat them like i do my kids,but,i wouldn't give up everything for them as i have my kids to think about,if i didn't have kids then i possibly would give up everything for them,i don't mean leave work or sell all my worldly possesions,but i certainly would move to a place where i could keep my cats,even if i had to give up my dream house,i would also leave a partner for my cats aswell

I wouldn't do all of that for my dogs. I mean, your friend should have just let his cats live in this friend's barn since apparently the friend does not mind them being there. Cats pretty easily survive on their own so living in a barn is great plus I'm sure your friend would be able to stop by frequently to take care of them and spend time with them. I understand that when moving we want to keep our pets, I wouldn't give my dogs up, but I'd just find an apartment that accepts animals or have a family member watch them for me until I could find a place to move with them. I had to give up my dog I had for more than 11 years in 1 day because we were moving to new apartments and they said they accepted dogs but didn't tell us they had breed restrictions until we were already moving in, so we couldn't change where we were going to move. It was very sad.

Maybe I can give my life to my dogs. I love them so much. They are the only thing that makes me happy in my home. Sure that ni man is an island but I cannot live without pets, they are my relieve from problems.

it depends on my heart............ ahhahaahah i mean it depends on my situations not only situations some times AFFECTION can lead PERFECTION..

If you think about it strongly, those cats may be the only family he really has. There are a lot of people that find that their pets are a part of their family or may well be all that they have for a family. I had a little old lady that lived across the street from me, she had 3 dogs and she stated regularly that she lived for them, they were her family and if she didn't take care of them, who would. She feared that they would wind up being put to sleep and made it her life to take care of them. One day she grew very ill, she had to be rushed to the hospital, the whole time she was there, she worried nothing of herself and all about her precious dogs. That is a strong and compassionate love a love that many of us feel for our children. This is an unconditional love that is felt deep. I feel that if I were in a similar situation, I probably would give up everything for my family to keep them with me and near me.

I can understand that friend of yours and I feel sad about the dogs we abandoned many years ago just because the owner of the place we were moving to did not allow pets. At first we visited them almost everyday, then life became so hectic for us and we just neglected them totally. I feel so bad about it even until now. I know I should have fought for them. I am not going to let that to happen to my pets now.
