I KNOW there's no use expecting logical decision making when it comes to Chantal but I just can't stop thinking about how getting a 6 year old, overweight, thrice re-homed cat just seems like such a self-set up. The things she's most vilified for are abandoning and neglecting her animals. She's essentially broke. Getting a cute, low-maintenance kitten as a prop and dono bait is one thing, but getting a cat that is likely going to have expensive on-going health issues, need specialized ($$$) food, and need extra attentive care is just egregiously short-sighted, even for her. EVEN IF she were to do everything right (huge X) the likelihood of this cat still having issues is really high. There's no plausible 'win' here for her, outside of the initial defiance of actually getting the cat. She can't even bend over to pick it up. It's weightloss (or lack thereof) is going to constantly be scrutinized and judged (even more so than her own). Her choices involving it's medical care, food, activity level, etc. while she live streams for hours on end is going to be a constant topic of discussion which she'll hate. Even just selfishly, idk how she looked at the ubereats prices and this walking vet bill and thought it was a good decision, optically or otherwise.
