I really, really want to get a cat but have reservations because of travel / my hometown. Iʻm from Honolulu and the Dept. of Agriculture is really strict about bringing in animals to the islands. They have to be quarantined for days.. its expensive etc.
I do have family in my med school area that could cat-sit but I just donʻt want to be in that position where I need to ask people to watch my cat for me for weeks at a time!!
meeep. we shall see.
