 BB, you wouldnt pay $600 for a household pet, on a lawyer's salary?

' really, really' love your cat indeed.

I'd pay a thousand, and im a poor college student. I could not put a price on the life of my cat- she is my cat.
You, on the other hand, could put a price, and a very mean one, on yours.

Tell me, how much would you pay for your wife's medical procedures?
Perhaps mono can help you tabulate a fair ceiling.

Vets know this, which is why veterinary care is so ridiculously expensive.  When will Obamacare extend to the animal kingdom? 

$600 for new cat parts to get it fixed is very expensive.  Would drive it to Mexico and see a vet there.  Could also order drugs from an online vet pharmacy in another country.

A cat is easily replacable.  I found this one for free after all.

My wife is not.

I love my pets, but they are only animals.

Is it really love if you're not willing to go to irrational lengths for it though? Serious question, I think love is an affection that is so strong it transcends rationality.

I disagree.  Love is a mighty powerful emotion, but to say it transcends rationality?  I don't think so.

Cats come and go.

BB is wise

[Lettow77]

 Love properly is self-sacrificing to an irrational degree; it is not about an estimation of relative values. I guess I just disagree. The world is made a bit colder by views like yours, though.

[Grey Fox]

Love has to be reciprocated. Your cat doesn't love you.

You love your cat your way, BB loves his cat his way.  Don't see any reason why you two can't live on the same planet. 

Besides, even you have a ceiling on love - a thousand dollars

[Ed Anger]

I wouldn't pay 600 dollars for Stonewall Jackson to have surgery.

[Lettow77]

 Love has to be reciprocated? What a strange idea! I would think that even the majority of love may be unreciprocated. My cat tolerated me because I sated her desires, as all cats do. They are arrogant and self-serving little creatures.

Mono, I see your point, its just jarring to me. It is such a calculating thing to say. He's wrong about his wife not being replaceable, for that matter.

[Grey Fox]

btw, BB doesn't really need to pay anything for his wife to get medical treatments.

Lettow is an emokid, BB is a grownup.  Lettow can't see that BB is right, as he is still emotionally immature, and is part of a subculture that prides itself on self-destruction in the name of love.

[Lettow77]

 I am part of no such subculture, languish's characterizations aside. 

Emotional immaturity is a charge that sticks alot more. If so, though- I'd hate to 'mature' to the degree where I reckon the cost of everything. Some things should be valued to an absolute degree.
