I just gotta rant about exploitation of poor people and their pets

[ellenrr]

28. btw, just to be clear--/ and update on cat.

I would not accept money from anyone, and that was not my purpose.
I REALLY appreciate people who offered to help with the $ and I know you did it with a pure heart, but it's not that I don't have the money, I wanted to make the point that it is a whopping amount of money - to me - and that is another thing to deal with when dealing with whether or not the time has come to say good-bye.

If I really didn't have the $ and kitty was suffering, I would accept your generosity and thank you for it.
And I hope that I would do the same for someone in need.

yesterday i tried some baby food and she ate it after not eating for 48 hours. So even tho the vet thinks that she has a kidney problem, along with asthma and other things, I'm cancelling the death appt, bec. if she is eating, she is not ready to die.

The vet seemed to think the choice was between spending hundreds/thousands on diagnosis and treatment and putting her to death.
And I would agree if she isn't eating, because then she is slowly starving herself to death.

But now that she has eaten puts a different spin on it.
so I am back to the same point, of having to make sure her quality of life is worthwhile. (not mine, Hers). I don't want to keep her alive for my sake if she is suffering.

so for the moment she has brought herself back. - sigh of relief.
This has happened 4-5 times in the past. She would just stop eating and drinking, and lay about and I would think she was dying. Knowing that her health is always precarious.

Then she'd pull out of it. well she is using up some of her 9 lives.

thanks for the support on here, it has helped me keep my sanity. such a whirly-round with this girl.
