They often have their own medical people (local vets volunteering) and might be able to do the surgery at a much lower cost.

I sure hope this resolves quickly for your family.<br /><br />And definitely never too many photos of your quilting work. :) I really love how you've paired the straight lines in the spikes with the wavy lines in the backgrounds around them.

I especially like the straight line rays extending from the outer most arcs to the border.....they spread the sunburst effect very nicely. Also the ribbon candy....even though it was a pain....it's gorgeous!<br /><br />And I'm really amazed that the vet wouldn't put your cat down for you. Years ago I applied for work at a vet, and one question they asked during the interview was, "Would you be able to assist in putting a perfectly healthy pet down, if the owner was just not able to care for it?" And of course, my answer was, "I think I'd be taking a lot of animals home!" So I didn't get the job.....but the procedure exists! They said if it was the wishes of the owner, then they had to do it. And you've been more than responsible toward your cat in this case.....it's not a whim..... there's just so much you can do responsibly! I'm with you!<br /><br />I don't know if you've ever had to make that decision before, but when we had to put our dogs down (after strokes) it was so hard. But it was harder seeing them struggle and not be their happy and healthy selves.<br /><br />I would want to know why they don't want to do it. Especially, as you say, to have your kids seeing your cat go through this deterioration. That's just cruel to your cat, and your family.<br />reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822110311373036914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26850144.post-13368907116522515482012-11-18T06:55:45.426-08:002012-11-18T06:55:45.426-08:00I'm very sorry to hear about your poor cat.

I have never liked those squiggly lines everyone uses on NYB's as it seems to take the punch out of the points.<br /><br />I know how your feel about the cat. A few years ago someone shot an arrow through our cat who had gone out to potty on Christmas day evening. Only one vet available and it cost $300 and they just put her to sleep. It is gut wrenching for the kitty, the owner, and the pocketbook.fiberobsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00417604112406580808noreply@blogger.com
