The comments section shows some interesting debate - what do you think? If someone offered you alot of money for your house on the condition that your pet stayed, would you take it?

    Personally, I honestly don't know. I mean, I ADORE my cats... but that's a huge amount of cash and one would assume that if someone was willing to pay that much, they'd really look after it... but I really love my cats... Tough call.

    I suppose it's different for me, though, $140k is a life changing amount of money. It's not like I own a $2million house already. So propotionately, for them, it isn't as much money as it would be to me, IYKWIM...

    Not that I'd ever have to make that choice. My cats are azzholes.

    Never. No money is worth the bond I have with my pets. They're so much better than people in multiple ways.

    A cat, probably. My dog...no way, I could never sell out on anyone who has been that loyal to me.

    I could never sell my pet off like that. Obviously, some people care more about money than their pets. Ridiculous.

    My honour is worth more than any amount of money. I would never betray the trust of any creature that relied on me.

    Never. If money was that tight I'd resort to prostitution before abandoning any of my babies.

    I can understand if you really needed the money for life saving treatment or you had to have money to feed your family but my Lilly is a part of my family so it would be like asking me to sell me child.

    I really love my cat, so I would have to say no.

    But they are welcome to my wife and all 3 kids for $50 in Starbuck's coupons.
