Would you give away your pet for a million pounds?

Hypothetically.
If somebody knocked on my door right now and offered to re-home my cat for a million pounds, I just don't think I could do it. Even though that would be a completely life-changing amount of money for me. Could you?

Yes the one that wakes me up at 4 every morning, but only if he was going to a good home.

That is a lot of money.....if someone is willing to give that for my pet then they are gonna give her an awesome life.....its a yes all the way!!! (I can afford to hire someone to steal her back afterwards)😅

Yes, the Cat. He's an asshole

To the people who say 'The pet isn't going to live forever' and 'I could just buy another one'. You are the reason domesticated animals are overbred, thus, hundreds of thousands dogs and cats needing rehoming. You are a set of ignorant and selfish [insert]. I know the word I would describe you as.

If they asked today - yes! But that's cause I had to clean cat poop off the wall.

But if they ask tomorrow - No.

Absolutely. Whilst I love having them around. Improving the quality of life that significantly for myself and my daughter I wouldn't hesitate.

In a heartbeat.

Yes. I’ve always liked my pets and treated them well, but they’re not members of the family. They’re just amusing animals I feed and take care of. And frankly I doubt they’d pine after me for very long before getting used to a new home, I’m definitely not enough of a sap to think they love me.

they wouldn’t give you a moment’s thought as they would be living in the lap of luxury.

Depends - where's the pet going?

To a rich person who really wants them.

mrssilky · 06/06/2023 00:57

no. i like money but i love my pets more.

momager1 · 06/06/2023 01:35

NO. not a shot in hell would they get my dogs. We had a major offer on our female when she had just birthed her one and only litter. (that little cream is her first ever pup, he is not for sale either for any amount) Our Girls brother lives in Germany. Our girl is a silver brindle standard poodle. I got an 18,000 USD offer to send her to Germany so they could breed her. NOPE she did her one duty to our breeder here and I fixed my girl. No amount could make me part with either one of my monsters. First two pictures are when we still lived in Canada.. the balcony is their new home in Punta Cana.

Hmm. I did give our much loved border collie away to MIL, who developed a whole new lease of life, and they adored each other.
In that sort of circumstance, I might.

@momager1 lovely dogs, I dream of one day owning a poodle and would have to have a fancy cut. Love the legwarmers.

momager1 · 06/06/2023 19:09

@hiredandsqueak our girl has the leg warmers .. always will , but our boy , well my husband is a bit stuck on the fact that leg warmers are for girls. Maybe I will get roasted on the trans boards but my husband said. OUR BOY IS A BOY... no fru fru poufs on his legs lmao. tonight we are going out to dinner at ONNO's BAVARO.
