Ready to go?

Oh, wait, I promised the cats I'd feed them before we left.

I don't think they understand or care about promises, love...

6 years ago:

Ok, you're new here, so here's the deal.

I give you food, shelter, and affection, and in return you give me purrs and companionship.

I promise that I will look after you for as long as you're around, or if I can't, that someone else will. You'll never go back to a shelter.

I promise that when you get sick, I'll do whatever I can to make you better.

When I can't make you better, I promise to make you comfortable.

When I can't make you comfortable, I promise that I will tell you that you are the best, most wonderful cat, and I will help you die.

What do you think? Sound good?

..you just don't break promises to cats.
