Hi there, Pat!
Don't you just love it? Your neighbor's attitude
towards his 2 former cats, I mean. Yearly booster vaccines cost us $8.50 for
each cat so that's a whooping $19.00 he'd have to pay on an annual basis.
Neutering is as cheap as $15.00 and spaying around $25.00 unless the
female is pregnant and then it runs a bit more and those 2 procedures are
obviously a one-time only thing. I don't know many new cars selling for less
than $15,000 to $20,000 nowadays and many cost much more so with interest on his
car payments, I'm sure that he's paying well over $100,000 for those vehicles
yet the jerk can't part with $40.00 to $80.00 to fix his pets or a lousy $20.00
bill a year for vaccines. Why do people get animals for pets if they don't want
to take proper care of them? I will NEVER understand that sort of attitude. It's
a life, maybe not human life, but a life nonetheless. Ghandi used to say that
you could judge a society based on the manner in which it treated its most
helpless members, their children, their elderly, and their animals. Oh, well,
time to get off my Animal Planet soapbox for now. <Wink> Take
care!

2 cats once owned by our neighbor who had no intention of
getting them neutered or 'shots' for them ( they couldn't 'afford' to do so ,
yet they have a car for every member of the family -4)...so I asked if we
could & after we did all that ,they said we may as well keep them, so we
did. They are a male yellow tabby, Tomtom very sweet & laid back ...&
a female feisty Lucy , who I made the mistake of getting between her & a
cat she was about to fight with & ended up in the ER to get shots for bad
bites & clawing ..they are about 8 now. Pat H.
