Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Feeling pleased with myself.
My cousin is selling up and moving to Spain, and although he loves Susie who he's had since a kitten, because she's 18, the vet decided that she wouldn't make the move well. Rather than ditch her at a shelter where she'd take her chances, the vet recommened euthanaisia. Well, my cousin understandably flipped out over these comments, but is one of these people who follows the vets advice without questioning it. He rang me earlier today in a right state, to discuss whether Susie should be PTS. Lets just say that the result of the conversation (after I calmed down ;o)) is that the Miles clan will be getting a new addition to the fur family in the next few months when he moves. A 6lb, black and white, 18 year old geriatric cat called Susie, with a very sassy attitude. Wayne is somewhat relieved that his cat will not be PTS, and is also changing his vet. I haven't broken the news to HRFL Tiger yet!

Thank Gawd my vet isn't like that, and also that your cousin consulted you instead of just listening to this guy. Purrs for Susie's happy transition.

Congrats to you and Suzie! Man, I can't believe that's the only solution that occured to the vet =/ Although it's hard to imagine putting an 18yo cat in a shelter or something, if your cousin had had no friends or family to help out ...

I would agree that an 18-year-old probably wouldn't take such a long trip well, particularly if there is a quarantine at the end of the trip. Joy well, good for you. Susie should be happy to know that one of her last lives will be spent with a loving person. Tell Tiger this is his elder, so he should be respectful. <g> Jazz & his mama SignatureIrulan from the stars we come to the stars we return from now until the end of time > My cousin is selling up and moving to Spain, and although he loves Susie > who he's had since a kitten, because she's 18, the vet decided that she [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Helen M > My cousin is selling up and moving to Spain, and although he loves > Susie who he's had since a kitten, because she's 18, the vet decided [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Helen M Yay!

Good for you, Helen! I just can't believe that vets actually recommend short-sighted and inhumane stuff like that. His vet (former vet, anyway) must not be a cat lover. So glad that Susie got a reprieve and found a new forever home. We'll be purring that HRFL Tiger accepts the change smoothly! > Wayne is somewhat relieved that his cat will not be PTS, and is also > changing his vet. I think the vet ought to be PTS when he's old and becomes an inconvenience. SignatureVictor M.

Hehe. Good löuck with that. The little black-and-white ladies are the ones with the biggest cattitude. Just ask Nikki. Nobbut, good for you to take in Susie. She would have no chance of being adopted from a shelter, I guess.
