The only pussy darksakul ever seen is in a garfield comic strip .
Every other person who has had this done for them have been under much more serious circumstances and have done it reluctantly or someone else has done it for them.
This thread borders on taking the piss, it’s not even “I can’t afford the surgery without this” but “This will soften the blow”.
I feel for your cat but this thread just feels wrong.
I don’t see how this isn’t a serious circumstance. I get that it’s easy to be cynical because “it’s just a cat” and “there are millions of cats” and “I hate cats” and blah blah blah.
You just don’t get it. It is very much like losing a member of the family. It’s easy to say these sorts of things until you’re in exactly the position that I’m in. I WAS actually reluctant to do this precisely because of people like you. You think anyone actually likes panhandling? I certainly don’t. They do it because there’s nothing else they can do.
It’s pretty fucking ignorant of you to keep acting like you’re the only who has ever lost a pet.
What the fuck are you talking about? I’m only talking about my reasons for doing this.
You have this magical insight suddenly into what I’m thinking?
5 bucks. Cat wont suffer long and you get to buy another one. Or maybe a dog and stop being such a pile of sticks?
Sigh… here we go.
Stick yourself in there first, I can go to the fertilizer section at Home Depot and buy another one of you.
The bolded makes it EXTREMELY clear what you are thinking. How the fuck do you know if he has been in this position or not before? How do you know how he feels abut cats and their worth to families? You have dropped this line multiple times in this thread already so it’s very clear you seem to think you’re in some kind of special position that other people can’t relate to just because they are advising you to put your cat down instead of making it go through lots of surgeries and procedures and a long as fuck recovery because you’re being selfish and don’t want to let him go.
Wow this thread turned to shit right away and it’s not going to go back on track.
PSYCH0J0SH sorry for your issues, as for the care of your cat of you treat him or put him down needs to be discussed with your Vet.
If your cat most likely make a full recovery go for the surgery but if you cat just going to suffer.
I know you feel think the alternative is unthinkable but think of the quality of life your cat is going to have. Is the cat going to be healthy or is he going to be suffering.
How do you know if he has? It’s obviously much easier to say those sorts of things when you don’t have any sort of emotional investment in the welfare of animals. It doesn’t really help that these guys refer to it as “taking the piss” or tell me to “fuck off”, as if I’m not being serious and treating this as some kind of joke. Those are obvious tells that they don’t take this seriously. So the onus is on you to tell me why they get to be complete dicks in this situation while I just have to sit and take it.
If they’ve been in this position before they would know how astronomically difficult this is to deal with and wouldn’t be kicking me when I’m already down.
Thanks man.
He can make a full recovery, he’s not going to suffer very long if we get this done.
Seriously tho, 6k for a cat? Need to find your balls and pull the plug, go to the shelter and get another comfort buddy. Its like a family member? ROFL.
I grew up for the first 13 years of my life with a dog, when it got to the end we had to get her put down because she could barely even get up in the morning, and she was just in too much pain.
It was sad but it was what was best to be done and you should always be prepared for this when taking on a pet.
You will most likely outlive every fucking pet you choose to have in your life, they will only every be temporary family members and you are asking for $6000 to extend ones suffering which according to your first post you yourself may have caused with that dry kibble and you expect everybody here to flock to support you?
As I said, bordering on taking the piss.
This thread would have been infinitely better if Josh wanted money for surgery to look like a cat…
I would have donated to that shit.
Your dog was old and near the end of its life. My cat is young and suffering from a problem we could not have foreseen. Doing this will not “extend his suffering”, it’s saving his life so he can live the life he was meant to live. Extending suffering would be keeping a dog alive with no hope of it getting better, my cat has a chance of getting better. These two situations are not at all comparable.
I’m not asking for people to “flock to it” either. I just want it known that I’m raising money and I’ll accept any sort of help.
You could probably buy a tiger for 6k. Upgrade.
I don’t, that’s why I would avoid making stupid assumptive statements such as those. Being depressed is no excuse for being dumb. Here is my problem with your position. I have owned many pets over the years and have to go through multiple medical issues with them. I’ve had many dogs and cats die of cancer, stomach disease, I had a cat have his entire shoulder shattered by a .22 and had to have it amputated because people back east are fucked up. I have been through this many many many times and not once have I felt it was appropriate to ask other people for money to help take care of my pets. They are my family members to, my dog Daisy died in my arms last week while having a seizure, I was devastated, and yet I think this thread is ridiculous, and if your cat is so sick it needs 6 grand worth of work you should do the right thing and put it down. It’s suffering, it doesn’t understand why, it wont understand the doctors visits, and it sure as shit wont understand the long term recovery its going to have to go through should this procedure even work. You’re not thinking about what’s best for your cat, you’re thinking of yourself and how you don’t want to lose your cat. If he’s truly a family member then you need to be sure you are putting his needs before your own.
I’ve watched people spend 30+ grand on their animals and it’s depressing as fuck because the animal is miserable and unhappy and the owner is only doing it for themselves under the guise of trying to help their pet.
Just because you are getting cold responses or responses you don’t want doesn’t mean people don’t know what you are going through.
Oh, well good for you, I’m glad you were able to find away to still place yourself on a pedestal above me and turn this into some sort of idiotic competition. “Haha, you asked for money to help with your vet bills, I’m better than you, I win”. Go fuck yourself. You wanna talk about assuming things, you’re the one assuming that my circumstances are exactly the same as yours were. If they were I wouldn’t be doing this. My cat has a good chance of recovery and living a long and happy life if I go through with this.
Also, you don’t seem to get that I have to pay the vet even if my cat lives or dies, so I might as well try to help it live.
PSYCH0J0SH some of your critics are not your enemies (not all criticisms are attacks). You might not agree with crotchpuncha, but he has a good point to consider.
You can actually buy 6 tigers for that price. And for a few thousand more @“Shaft Agent” will take you on a guided tour of his backyard as you “hunt” said tigers down with a minigun.
