That's a pretty big "just" for someone who grew up loving cats.

I'm sure it seems easy to you to not have animal companions, but plenty of rational people place a lot more value on it than you do.

Your point of view is based on faulty assumptions about the importance of that experience.

It's a choice you have to make.

It's the same as cigarets, you know it's toxic to you and others but still you want it regardless.

PS: I love cats and always had one until few years back but I don't want to have one to force him to stay indoor, as long as I don't have a place for it to go out I won't get any.
