I know the feeling! like I love my rats, but I've wanted a cat for as long as I can remember, just haven't been able to afford one.
(I saw this kitten at the petstore about a month ago that I fell in love with, he was white, super sweet, gentle face, bright blue eyes, and 3 legs. I ended up trying to talk my mom into getting him for me

last time I went there they said he had been adopted though)
ah gotcha, hopefully school's giving you enough time to recharge with breaks in between work/exams.
I don't think I told you about this move yet, I moved last year, but my health keeps acting up and has kept me out of work, even youtube's been on hiatus since.. February, I think(?), because it ends up hurting to talk for certain lengths of time

so I'll be moving back in with my mom.
