I think the point is, that most people on this board, would rather make sure their cat is healthy and give a less expensive gift, than gamble with their cats welfare and spend more money on presents.

Well, being a Canadian, I can say that at least in my parts, the Vet is pretty reasonable. Then again, i don't put a price tag on my cats health. I would think Mimi's health is a bit more important than Christmas gifts, she is a living creature and deserves medical care when she needs it. I understand that its not your call to make, its up to your parents. And, I don't doubt that you love your cats, you wouldn't be here posting if you didn't. Taking a sick or injured cat to a Vet is never a stupid idea. They are there to help your animals. You posted and said your cat was very sick, and wanted to know what to do. Yet, as has already been said, you don't take the advice. Its very hard for us to sit here knowing what needs to be done, but seeing you fail to do it. We're concerned about your cats, and cats in general, are are trying to give you sound advice. i just wish you'd listen.

Lot's of cats have problems that can't be taken care of. Like Tigger. His walking isn't very good because he was in a car accident. When he came home he was almost dead. Taking him to the vet would have been stupid because they would've said that he would have to be put to sleep. We nursed him back to health and he's very happy.

If Tigger was hit by a car he should have been taken to the vet. They would have treated him for shock, taken X-rays, stabilized him, checked for internal bleeding, and soft tissue damage. If it was necessary, they would have performed surgery to repair any injuries that wouldn't heal otherwise. The vet would have done what was necessary and what you were willing to pay for. I don't know of any vets who enjoy putting animals to sleep, they prefer to help them. It is possible that Tigger walks funny because there was an injury that may not have healed properly.

I'm not going to say anymore about Tigger. The real problem may be that your parents have the money, but are unwilling to spend it on getting medical help for an animal.

All the cats in this house do not belong to my parents.Every cat belongs to a kid.We got them from friends and pet stores.

I think I'm going to become a prostitute to make enough money to take them all to the vet.I could make enough to buy crappy Christmas gifts.
Im not gonna post for three days because I HAVE to BECOME a PROSTITUTE in order for you people to stop the madness.I will take them all in three days.I'm going hooking now.By the way you have really ruined my self confidence and have brought my depression back.I didn't think I sucked at taking care of cats that MUCH!

Being sarcastic and snide isn't going to help your cats. Why not have your parents come on the forum and discuss the issue if you feel unable to remedy the situation yourself?

pets are a responsiblity, one that should be taken seriously. Obviously your 5 year old brother can't pay for his cats vet bills, so I would think your parents would pay for it. I can't imagine that he's paying for the food to feed his cat or the kitty litter either.

The people on this site all have in common their love for their animals and the fact that they would do anything to ensure their safety and health. I'm sorry that you can't understand that. Maybe it's because you're only 16. For awhile there you were actually conducting yourself in a somewhat mature manner. Your latest tantrum where you threatened to start hooking certainly made you seem all of 12.

Don't talk about becoming a hooker. I have an idea for you. Since expensive gifts seem to be a concern in your family, tell your parents that you will give up one of your gifts so Mimi can go to the vet. Tell them that your cat's health is more important than anything they could ever buy for you. This is just one cat so the vet bill wouldn't be very expensive.

Gee, Tasha, all I have to say is that a phone call to the vet is at least warranted ( if you have regular vet, that is). The last time my cat was vomiting profusely, it was a reaction to his vaccinations. He was fine, but had the vet not noted the reaction in his records, he could have had a worse and possibly fatal reaction the next year.


Now I'll be blunt. Your reaction and tantrum is simply more evidence to me that minors don't belong on the internet.

Sorry, but I find it really hard that your parents who make over $120,000 a year cannot afford to pay a vet bill! Why not do what Deb25 suggested & call a vet just to see what they say, Tasha. It won't cost & it sure as heck won't hurt to do so. Like I said in my previous post, get out a phone book & look up low-cost veterinary care! Do you honestly think you do deserve a cat if you or your parents aren't willing to be a responsible pet owner and not take them to the vet. Everyone gets upset because you post & won't listen! What do you want us to say? Over here it only cost me around $35 to get a vaccination & a checkup. Your smart@&& remarks don't make things any better either..... Everyone is trying to help, you know, but you won't listen.

I'm sorry for being so ignorant.
I was very rude and mean to many people
and I just wanted to apologize.Please
forgive me for what I said.I will take
your advice.I'm planning on going to
the vet next Thursday.

Please,PLEASE forgive me!

Tahsa - I have been reading this thread and am proud of you for your apology. It is not always easy to admit when we have been wrong.

You be sure and let us know how you make out at the Vets!

thanks for listening and make sure you keep that appointment!

you say that we all made you feel bad and brought your depression back....imagine how much better you will feel about yourself if you have healthy kitty cats who will enjoy Christmas so much better when they feel healthy

no-one on here wants to make you feel bad....they just want you to do the right thing

let us all know how you get on!

Good Luck

Since Tasha has said that she will make sure her pets get the medical attention they need as well as apologized for her angry outburst, I think it's time to close the thread. And so I have.
