You came to that conclusion only because it is usually the case under such circumstances; Craig is different, he's just a creepy, old, despicable, and selfish son-of-a-gun! That was my first thought, too, because on videos that I've seen before, the place looked immaculate and the cats appeared healthy (that must have been the first day!) and then things went steadily downhill, or, more likely, at an accelerated pace.

It was money for his own enjoyment that he couldn't turn down! This is really shocking.
