Dr telling birdwatcher family “ well it’s going to cost 30k to treat him and that’s not counting hospital stay”... 2 hours later birdwatcher dumped in his drive way with a bowl of water left next to him.. Not all that far from the truth. Over the last four years I’ve had three molars and premolars get infected and break off at the gum line such that I have a gap-toothed smile. The infections all drained out through the side of the respective gums and near as I can tell were self-limiting All in all I’m missing five teeth, not including wisdom teeth which are long gone. This is gonna require some serious attention someday, hopefully not for a few years yet, I got other things I need to be paid off first. Dumped in the driveway with a bowl of water? Prob’ly ain’t all that far off. I sincerely hope I get to die outside, somewhere when the time comes. The last thing I’d want is to spend money preserving it that could otherwise be used by others in their ongoing lives. How long are we supposed to live anyway? Sure..
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Hate to side with the 'haters', Mike, but I guess I feel that if you took the cat--or any other animal--in as a 'pet', you're pretty much obligated to care for it. If you're in a situation where you can't afford or aren't willing to look after it while healthy or in sickness, you owe it to the animal to divest yourself of the responsibility and care of it. I mean this wholeheartedly, and I hope that, having met me, you know I'm not bullshytting you: if it's truly money that is the issue, take the cat in and have it looked over/diagnosed. If it's something curable and under a couple grand to fix, I'll pay the vet bill for you. Contingent on your having it treated on my dime and then agreeing to put it up for adoption. If you do so and no one adopts the cat, I'll take it in. Serious offer. I'm saddened to say so, but I'm disappointed in you. Leighton, I can bear your disappointment.

Dood, someone is going to call the humane society on you. Do you really want your face plastered all over facebook; or end up on a tv reality series?

Of that I'm certain, and I didn't mean to imply that my ethics should equal yours. In fact, pretty clearly they do not. All animals I have adopted/taken home have been given love, food, shelter and medical care, if necessary, for their whole lives. I guess I figured all these years that that was the deal, even if unspoken, as it were.. Apparently, in your world, the part about providing medical care isn't part of the deal. So be it. I offered a possible solution and an opinion, that is all. Maybe a judgement, too, but worth what you paid for it. Take my offer or leave it. Pity your 'pride' and financial situation has your 'pet' sprawled underneath a car rather than being looked at in a clinic.

Birdy, I may have come across a bit harsh on this thread.
If I did, I don't apologize.
Without regard to that, don't ruin your rep on this site.
Take the cat to a vet.
Post the vet's contact info here.
The 'fire will take care of the bill.
You'd want a chance ta live.
Give one to the cat.

Guys he's a ph ucking idiot.. he starts a thread cat is sick.. the logical answer is take it to a vet.. people tell him comes up with excuse oh I don't have time today, I'm broke, I can't afford $90 bucks... then trying to be funny oh I have bad teeth send me money, my car is a pos send me money, I don't have a hot water heater send me money. This guy is a ph ucking idiot that is teaching kids that's the scary part.

“Sigh”.....

Next time I’ll just STFU.

I bet the cat dies, but this thread never will.
Call a pet rescue place, and have them pick up the cat. It’s still young, and they will revitalize it.
By this thread going on here, it’s a HUGE BLACK EYE for hunters, and the outdoors community.

Next time I’ll just STFU. Always mount the cat first, then take it to the taxidermist.

You forgot the rules: Shoot, shovel, shut up. It's a cat. If anyone wants one we have way too many at the farm.
