You are correct. Unfortunately, my vet told me this option AFTER I shelled out all the money. My big boy has other medical issues too, so I'm afraid that the next round of emergencies, I'll have to way the cost variable to his age. Something I've never thought I'd have to do. Here is my big boy...

Love the kitty pictures.

Oh he's a gorgeous cat !! -- looks a little like our middle boy, Quincy (Rocky's brother) -- I'd post some pictures but I can't find a good (free) server that allows links to here

I know what you mean about "cost vrs. age" -- one reason we spent the money on Rocky is he's very young, was not even 4 when he had these problems -- you might also consider how much trauma it puts a older cat thru' to be "hospitalized" -- we had an 13 yr. old female in suspected kidney failure, took her in to have her put to sleep, but the vet wanted to monitor her so we agreed to leave her overnight, when we came to pick her up the next day, she was almost dead, the dogs barking and the lights on all night freaked her out and she was a mess -- she died at home a few hours later -- my kids saw what she went thru' and it really upset them -- I was NOT happy with the vet and would never allow an older cat to go thru' that torture again

What a handsome guy!

He reminds me of my first cat. An all black, deadly dashing boy with green eyes named Jinx.
