This episode has caused me to worry, like a lot of people here, about my own cat's eventual health woes.
I propose an ongoing "FOT Sick Cat Fund." I'd ante up $20 a month into a pool that could benefit any FOTs with sick cats and limited means. Maybe we could open a savings account.
I work from home, and value my cat's company much more than it's probably cool to admit. In California, $20 gets your four gallons of gas. I'd forego one beach trip a month to help a troubled feline.
Dog buffs, you're on your own.
