True. I guess a lot will also depend on where the kid is at the time. If she's in a position at the time to take on any pet I might leave, that might sway me. I think I'll always be feeding and taking care of any strays around me.

Maybe she'll marry a vet (she's already said there's no way she wants to be one ;-). That could make the whole stray matter much easier to do. :-)
