Hello and Happy weekend!!

For 5.000,000 cold hard cash, taxes taken out, would you live on an island with your kitties? A ferry would come
once a week with supplies but you would be alone for a year. You would have internet and phone service.

I would do it, what about you?🏝

Oh for sure, I'd probably do it very willingly, lol. But I'd like to be able to take my dog, and I'd also prefer if it were a cooler island vs. a tropical one.

Maybe. I would be very worried about a health crisis for the kitties which could not be solved by phone or internet.

In theory I would love it if cat(s) and husband were included. The issue that would concern me the most is access to medical services routine, emergency and specialist for both cat and humans. It sounds ideal but when it came down to it would be a hard no, based on medical access and a couple of other things you might lose important access to.

Bring it on! I would it! That is a great amount of money that could last a lifetime and help with so many things! And save up the rest. (Especially as a millennial) And only for a year- with my beloved kitties? And free supplies? And internet and phone? That is awesome and easy :)

Yes my amazing boyfriend/family and I would highly miss and worry about each other, but I think we would all collectively agree it would be a good investment :lol: plus we can still contact each other easy enough via video chat, text and call. I'm an independent individual and would hardly miss out because of needyness in the guise of loyalty, when I can easily make extra bling for myself and the people I hold dear and love.

I would very likely go for it. For me it would mainly depend on what the living arrangements were. If it was a nice house with modern amenities, the cats and I would definitely go for it. But if it was camping and living in the wild, or living in a grass hut or something like that, it’d be a definite no😸

I figured with amenities like internet and phone, there would have to be all the other modern conveniences ... With those (and the stipulation that a vet can visit if a need arises), I'd definitely be in for that.
