For those (few) of you reeeeeing about FFG getting the cat or the amount of superchats she received last night please remember: FFG DOES NOT HAVE THE CAT. FFG is merely PAYING for the cat.
And it will not be a cheap time to come. You can’t easily get insurance for older animals, and certainly not in the timescale involved here. FFG is likely out several hundred, if not thousand, dollars already just on emergency Veterinary bills and there will be ongoing costs in the months ahead. She has already spent the superchat money and will be out of pocket above and beyond whatever youtube finally pays out - and that’s not counting all the rest of the cat equipment required to be in place even before BBJ reaches her new home. People don’t adopt older animals for this very reason - they cost so damned much to keep alive. (And the people who do are Angels on Earth
).
All this and FFG doesn’t even have the cat. BBJ will look at FFG like she is a stranger, and maybe dismiss her in the way cats do to dog people. FFG will be allowed a cuddle if she’s very lucky and will have to rely on pictures and updates like the rest of us. What FFG does have is a commitment to pay out what will amount to be a considerable sum of money for an unspecified time period - for an animal she DOESN’T EVEN OWN. How many of us can say we’d do (or could afford to do) the same?
Best possible outcome achieved all round. I’m so glad I got to see it go down live with Best Chat, what a night to be a Farmer. (And looking forward to Yaba’s reaction now)!
