?
My aunt just called. Apparently one of her cats was just put down. Dusty was the youngest. Apparently he had some sort of heart disease and his lung collapsed and started taking on fluids. 2 days later, she waits long enough that she can't take him to the regular (cheaper) vet, and has to take him to the emergency vet. She doesn't have the money to treat him ($1500+ with no guarantee that he'll live), so she had him put down (and she really doesn't have the money for that either).
I'm not sure how I feel. Kind of a mix of emotions. I make sure that my cats see the vet regularly. Get their shots. Get checkups. So that I know what problems my cats might be having. And if they are acting sick, I take them to the regular vet right away. I take the time off if I have to. I find some way to pay for it.
My aunt doesn't have the money cause she's blowing it on my cousin. Even though he's living with her and she's not supporting his "habit" and CA lifestyle anymore, she's still spending all her money on him. So she still doesn't have the money for bills or food or gas for her car (which she needs for work since she's an in-home care nurse). She has no savings. She can't afford to buy herself new clothes (which is why every Mother's Day, Birthday, and Christmas, I'm having to buy her clothes).
I'm sad that the cat got sick and died. I'm thankful and happy that my cats are healthy and safe. But I'm pissed that it's because of my cousin. Yet another life is ruined because of his selfishness and greed.
