Best Buckeye;901513; said:If the cost of the repairs is more than the cost of a 2 dollar kitten plus vacinations I wouldn't waste the money. You will become attached and "love" the new one soon enough. I am not a cat lover but the wife is and that is what I tell her when she asks me your question. What are you going to do next year when the cat needs another thou dropped on her?
And I have always handled my responsibilities, whether it is handled with a chop behind the head or seeing how long the cat can last in the river is the only questiongbearbuck;904330; said:I see your point, however others would argue the kitten you "adopted" is your responability and if something happens it's your duty to make things right...
In between the two sides is where the "best" answer lies imo...

Started getting lethargic, stopped eating, etc. We took her to a different vet hospital and after taking a chest radiograph, determined she had fluid in her lungs. After extracting something like 20ml of fluid out of her lungs, they placed her in an oxygen cage over night. Testing on the fluid indicated it could have been something wrong with the lymphatic (?) system. Yesterday morning, she seemed better, so they took her out of the cage. Unfortunately, she got much worse at that point and they called my wife to come to the hospital. She decided to have her put to sleep and by the time I got there, she was gone.
Yesterday was much harder than I ever thought it would be. We decided to bring her home and bury her under the lilac tree in our side yard. It was no easy task digging a 2.5'-3' grave in single digit temps, but there was really no way I wasn't going to do it - it's what my sweetie wanted. After we laid Montana to rest, my wife wanted to fill in the grave. I think that gave her some sense of closure.
RIP Montana - you were a great cat.
