I like pets....cheap pets like spiders and things

If I had a spider as a pet it's likely it might go away somewhere when it got sick and die a natural death, or be eaten by its partner or a bird or a ghecko or something. That doesn't happen with a cat. When a cat gets sick it costs a whole weeks wages to fix it. It must be taken to a veterinary surgeon who will charge a lot of money just to tell you that it needs antibiotics, IV fluids and an overnight hospital stay because it has a gastro-intenstinal infection. My next pet will be a spider.
