You owe me $5, kitty

georgia819 - 21/05/2009 08:06 - Australia

Today, my cat was hit by a car. I took it to the vet expecting the worst but they told me that she’d be fine. I was so happy I didn't even mind paying the $50 bill. The next morning my cat was dead. Having her put down humanely would have cost $45, I paid $5 extra to have her die in my kitchen. FML

Today, I took my cat to the vet. He said he felt a strange lump that could be serious. I got really upset and picked her up, crying. The vet then told me I had to put her down. Absolutely devastated by having to euthanize my cat, I passed out. He meant I had to put her back on the table. FML

Today, I saved a kitten from the streets, cleaned her up and asked the vet what I should do with her because she was the sweetest thing and my cat has a highly contagious illness. The vet had to put her down. FML

Today, despite me not liking cats, which my wife knew, she got a cat anyway. Her cat went for a walk outside and was hit by a car. I rushed outside to help the cat but found she was already dead, and the culprit had driven away. When my wife found out that her cat was dead, she thought I'd killed her. FML

Today, I had to explain to my boss that the reason I was sobbing hysterically as she told me that I was getting a pay raise was because I was going to the vet to have my sick and dying cat put down. Good news at a bad time. FML

Today, I was sent a letter by the vet, saying my cat was late for her yearly checkup. My cat died last week and I'd had her cremated by the same people who had sent the letter. FML

Today, I had to take my cat to the vet. On the way there, he managed to get out of his cage, climb into the front seat, onto my chest, and howl in my face as I tried to drive down the highway. I ended up with stitches and still got charged for missing my cat's appointment. FML

Today, I took my wife's cat to the vet for her yearly check up. I'm finishing the day at the hospital with multiple bite wounds and a deep gash in my leg. My wife chose to comfort her cat instead. FML

It's a little sad that you're evidently more upset about the loss of $5 than your cat dying. But YDI for letting your cat out without a leash or anything.

Tell the vet. See if you can get your money back, since he was basically useless, and never go back to him again.

Who the hell puts a leash on a cat? It wasnt the guy's fault. Its not like he wanted his cat to die!

#61, pets don't belong outside unsupervised. If they're on a leash or trained well enough to behave themselves it's fine. But I hardly ever see this with cats. If I let my dog wander the neighborhood you'd call the pound to come pick him up. But a cat? Oh sure, it can go out, shit everywhere, sleep on top of cars. Cat owners are so self-important that they think everybody else likes their cat or something.

cats suck anyway, why is this even an issue? also the vet more than likely said it was fine cuz there was nothing he could do i.e. internal damage

Trying to sue the vet is ridiculous, but you could certainly put your cat in a box and take it back, then dump it on their desk and ask "DOES THIS CAT LOOK FINE TO YOU?" See what they say.
