lol Elizabeth. I'm in my first generation family (go me, I didn't restart yet) and I got a cat for them. For several hours it followed the dad around trying to trip him while he worked in the kitchen. I could just picture him trying to kick the cat out of the way with a lot of curse words.

How can you not expect it to live forever. You paid $500 for it. At that price it should live forever with no food, or attention.
