nope. your wrong. if they need surgery, we do it ourselves, medication, we get what we need. the last animal we had die we tried to keep alive as long as his life was quality. he had renal failure(severe). in the end, we had to euthanize him. we also had to euthanize our rescue pit bull that developed cancer in the opening of his bladder. but losing an animal is not like losing a child.
i'm just realistic. there are too many animals in shelters that don't have homes that need them, not every shelter is a no kill shelter.
i also have no sympathy for people that let their cats outside, as it seems they don't value the animal, so they should have no problem letting go and getting a new one.
my pets are well taken care of, thanks.
that's golden...d-i-y surgery on a cat or dog
did you write this?

what are you not
:laugh: Don't mess with alky.
seriously though...write this down since both of you have hippie avatars you probably killed off most of the good brain cells as no real hippie would be online here really in your volume.
I was gifted, IQ on some chart over 140...I took classes that most would need to take in the past 5 years to pass because your momma threatened to sue if they failed you.
I got published a few times along the way, I thought it was gay. I have no idea what I wrote or where it went, I threw it away.
My dad was a banker, he got me a job at 12 filing papers...by 16 I was doing loan sales. By 18-19 I was saving quite a bit and picked up working in a chinese restaurant at night a few times a week and in a vet's office between classes. This veterinarian is probably in the top of all in the world. He has actually been mentioned on these forums a couple times and I didn't start the thread. I will probably be a crazy animal man by the time I die. I feed my cats very well, as much as people hate hearing animals are like people...my wife can no longer have kids. My cats are my kids... I also feed a large feral colony, I use the Kirkland cat food.
I lifted weights since middle school, I was able to try out for varsity as a freshman but a growth spurt had me blacklisted by a doctor...I took up martial arts competitively then wrestled in varsity as a senior.
I was a hacker...you won't find anything that pinpoints me to any event, but the FBI did visit me during the great mod/lod war. I never did anything that someone had to pay for. I borrowed time on systems if anything. Many were doing CC fraud during these times...I see that trend in most forums. I am adamant against stealing. I don't care if it's just a ream of paper. It's STEALING.
I aced ASVABs, and pretty much the PCAT (pharmacy test)...I did great on math on the SAT and ACT but used to never read the english part and just picked a good answer. Surprisingly I scored above average still.
I debated being an engineer at first and actually was able to design the fire sprinkler systems of a popular christan colleges new addition and a geriatric center down here. Doing so I climbed my first 30+ foot ladder.
I realized engineering wasn't for me due to having to look up everything and just do it by the book. Prior to my AA degree I was accepted to pharmacy school at UF. I had switched to Biology and Zoology looking to go to med school. Being a doctor would mean not doing much until I was older...(we have a lot of docs in our circle)...so I decided on pharmacy. Interned in it and decided I hated it. About the same time my first wife broke her neck.
I ended up back in banking...stayed in it until 1999. Was able to buy a nice house in the now popular Wellington, Fl area (polo horse deaths). Half acre on a canal, 3/2/2 with pool...I was only 23.
Switched to computer science when I peaked in that gig. Did my BS in a year and a half.
went back to do computer work for a major mortgage company.
I love tools and working on things...I have rebuilt a ton of cars, rooms, boats, etc.
All that said, no I am not rich...I have learned that getting most high paying things is more luck than skill though or being willing to whore yourself. When I say whoring it's not that flashy shiny person in your office, it's the one you don't see and think they are all business.
so just write this shit down ok. If there is anything else you want my take on, let me know and I will provide it. Keep trying to let me know I contradicted myself.

OP, I have some spare cats, you can have your choice. Too bad you live on the other side of the country. None of them need medicine (as far as I know), so they should be cheaper to care for. I'll even give you two of them. And, the bleeding hearts who don't want the little kitties living outside, feel free to stop by and give my outdoor cats a "good home." I've run out of chipmunks, moles, mice, and other assorted critters near the house & barn. Now, the cats appear to be bored most of the time.
your cats are fucking up the local ecosystem. You really shouldn't have so many of them.

would you recommend we take the animals to another vet? what would be the point of that? i think all the school my wife has done, and her certification with california and colorado and the 10+ years of surgery experience make me think it's okay for her to work on cats, dogs, birds, reptiles and other animals. you take your pets to your friends? what is the difference?

Actually, I buy that you did that stuff, or at least most of it, at some point in your life. The cross-references that I've noticed show that you have some of the knowledge you'd have gained in those employments. However, I also think that you figure your experiences have given you some superiority over the script kiddies here. While you definitely have proven capability to accomplish things, I'd suggest that doesn't excuse you from courtesy and offering your opinion as helpful instead of arrogant. Though it seems like you've really toned that down lately too.

In regards to the later I spoke a bit privately with a few members...it's all perception I guess. Many will agree I get blamed for quite a bit of stuff that I had no involvement in because so many think I am just being a prick on purpose or assume I am much younger than I am and just blowing smoke.
I am moderating myself a bit and just ignoring the typical trolls. It's just not worth it and it causes too much cleanup work for our mods when things get out of control.

you probably want to qualify your statements then.
Also just because she is a doc, doesn't mean you can perform surgery at home safely.

They ended up charging me with trespassing and 4th degree assault actually.

It'd be cool to have a cougar around. Nice taxidermy project. And, the local ecosystem does not need rodents.

So the local ecosystem doesn't need any small animals? Maybe it doesn't need any animals at all then. In fact why bother having an ecosystem at all right?

4th degree assault is a notch above harassment. It is the smallest degree of assault possible. Don't assume I'm the one who did the assaulting either. It is just a temporary charge.

Talked to the lawyer this morning and he said there was nothing that can be done about getting the cat back.
