Don't be so black and white about who is and is not a saint. And why aren't you spending your money on saving the lives of children, hm? Do cats outrank children in your mind? I'll donate to causes for animals a lo tmore than I'll donate to causes for children. There are plenty more people willing to already donat their money to save the children... less people are as willing to donate for pets. You're judging, and it's out of line IMO. My point is you don't know exactly what the OP faces. He or she may have children to care for. What of the people who choose saving children over saving the family pet? Do you call them despicable? The contention I've seen is not that she is horrible for not spending the money but that she could get a second opinion and could find a cheaper vet (it seems many thinkt he current vet is soaking her, and judging from the price I saw, I agree). The contention I see is that people don't feel the vet she is going to is treating her right. Alice -- The root cause of problems is simple overpopulation.

Older cars require more repairs. Repars require a substantial amount of money. That's not a very sensible suggestion. And since my job requires Now here I have to disagree. The youngest car I've had was 10 years old and I've yet to have a lemon. The only thing is you need to have osme one who knows about cars who can check the car out for you (or a trusted mechanic to look at the car). And you can find lemons in brand new cars too. My 26 year old Porsche (3000 dollars purchase price) was more relaible than friends' cars that were half its age. My 20 year old BMW, cost me all of 3400 dollars, has so far been a very relaible car, hasn't stranded me once. Sorry, I had to say something here. It's a myth that an older car is always less reliable. I think if people are willing to research type of car and get one that was well built, and have some one who can check the car out for them to make sure it has been maintained well and doesn't have anything about to die, they can find a very good car for a lot cheaper. (I'd personally recomend an old BMW 325e ). Sure, I could buy a brand new Kia for 6000 dollars, but I bet you my 20 year old BMW will last me longer and even with any repairs I will still end up paying less than I did for that Kia (including initial cost of BMW). Alice (ok, admittedly I cheat a little here, I have a roommate who works on cars so any repairs I pay for dinner and parts price, but even so I bet I'd break even with the Kia and have a better car with more options for a similar price) -- The root cause of problems is simple overpopulation.

Phillip, please go to the following site and choose a canned food with
ZERO carbohydrates. You will get rid of both problems at once (urinary blockage and diabetes) and no more spending fortunes with that vet. http://www.sugarcats.net/sites/jmpeerson/canfood.html |
