I like your cat picture in your profile picture! That is a cute Frisky.
Going through my photos besides my son most of my pictures are of our Chihuahua mix.
We don't have a cat now but I have been waiting one for a while now. Just don't know if I can deal with the litter box in a two bedroom apartment in Las Vegas, specially during the summer. Lol
I just decided to get a s23 and I really wanted the ultra but couldn't afford it this year. I like big screen phones but I think with a 1080p screen the smaller s23 will be better overall. Too bad Samsung didn't upgrade the cameras at all in anything but the ultra.....
Yeah sometimes you just have to be sensible, about cats and technology.
Both can be outrageously expensive. I can afford this stuff because I'm in my fifties and am not yet on a fixed retirement income. Actually come to think of it, it kind of sucks. We've been young, broke and frugal for decades, then middle aged affluent and soon my husband and I will have to once again become frugal like heck to secure our old age.
Actually, we still are very careful and selective in our self indulgence. It's really just the phones we go crazy on.
What being middle aged affluent has made a huge difference for us is that we can afford our veterinary bills: around $10,000 last year. We did a massive rescue project when my dad died. My dad and mom took care of abandoned cats and their feral offspring. The kitty in my avatar was one of the feral kittens he was feeding when he took ill. Among the things I had promised him, besides taking care of my mom, was that I'd manage the situation with his feral friends. And my husband and I did. Trap, neuter, vaccinate, release some, adopt out adoptable ones.
The kitten is grown up now. She and another very spunky kitten were the only two among the many ferals who were seriously ill with several concurrent viruses. They needed a lot of medicine and care for a couple of months.
They're grown now, but one still isn't fully well and will need to be monitored the rest of her life. The one in the photo seems recovered, knock wood. They were meant to be fosters, but they bonded both to each other and to my cats who went crazy for them and adopted them. We couldn't argue with that. Nobody wants to be judged by cats.
Getting back to the phones, I think the cameras on the regular s23 phones will be perfectly fine. You're just missing the super duper pervert zoom, really. With software optimization you're going to get really good images. Those lenses you're getting aren't exactly chopped liver.
