I'm an older guy going back to school and find my place feeling really lonely after a long day of class or clinical. Between friends being married with kids and the oddness that is online dating over 35 I spend a lot of time at home. Now some kittens are going to be available in a few weeks and I was thinking of getting one. I like cats and have owned them before but it was a decade ago. Am I crazy in thinking loneliness is a bad reason to get a pet or is that actually a good reason? Most of my friends get pets to prove they can take care of something before having kids so I guess that's not really any better.
