On another note I can provide sound financial advice for any P99er who would like to own a pet in the future. You must have over $100,000 to invest before I consider taking you on as a client.

Ya, I also have two cats I would love to give you. I used to think I was a cat person until I lived in a house that has them and I realize they offer relatively little in terms of companionship, they shit in a box inside your house and piss on things. Dogs are a pain in the ass too but they are very obviously man's best friend and actually care for their owners. Fuk cats.

I feel for you. It cost me $4000 to cure my cat of cancer and she's now missing a front leg, but luckily I could easily afford it (at the time).

I wouldn't hesitate at all to do it again. She's been cancer-free for 7 years and has been happier without that leg. I think it really hurt her. Never really noticed until the diagnosis but she hesitated to put pressure on that leg when she sat. Thought it was just a cute quirk of hers. Walked and ran fine with no limp but when she sat afterwards she'd hover that paw off the ground a bit.

Do what you can to help your cat but don't freak out if you can't.

Sounds like the owner didn't give them any boundaries when they were kittens. Or American cats are just assholes [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Cats who get fussed and picked up a lot are generally more loving than cats that just get bought, forgotten and left to do their own thing.

Hate to say it, but I'm going to call troll on this one. Why you haven't explained the cat's symptoms yet doesn't help. One thing I do not understand is why they want to do an ultrasound and an MRI when they both scan the exact same things. Of course MRIs do it better, but why do both? At my semi-expensive vet, ultrasounds are $400. Understandable that the MRI is quite pricey considering the cat needs to be put under which "requires" a blood test to make sure it doesn't have a reaction to the anesthesia. Still would like to know what symptoms your cat is having. 95% of vets try to screw you out of money when nothing this wrong. Pet insurance is okay, I have a friend that works with a pet insurance company unfortunately there's many restrictions in what they will pay out for your pet, essentially, if your pet hasn't had insurance since they were 2 and having absolutely no problems then you're covered; but you also need to keep your animal up on all shots. Varying quotes around 50+ 50x12=600x7=$4200. At any rate, I hope your cat gets better, or maybe you can inform us of the symptoms so we can at least give you ideas, vets essentially don't know much more about the problem than us.

My post had plenty of merit to the situation at hand. Sorry you're so illiterate that you couldn't comprehend.

While I sense some trollish-ness in the OP's post, I can definitely relate to the cost of pet care. My Dachshund just had surgery on his neck to remove a herniated disk. Final cost was nearly 5k, and the MRI / X-Rays / other tests cost just as much, almost more, than the surgery itself. 10/10 would do it again however.
