You're missing the point a bit, Zoeblo. Monty was the kind of man who did what he wanted regardless of how impractical it was, and regardless of what others thought. If he wanted a cat, he would've gotten a cat. Even if others told him that it was dangerous due to his allergy, if he wanted one, he would've gone to buy one.

It's not that others did nothing and let him "play with his life" like that. It's that Monty didn't listen to them and did it anyway.
