My boyfriend told me he ...He really is a beauty. <br /><br />My boyfriend told me he was faced with a similar decision several years ago, with a mind boggling and daunting vet bill, and he very nearly thought he'd not really have much of a choice, when it came down to it, but then he thought about how <i>he</i> got a second chance at life, and a third, and a fourth, after two failed kidney transplants and finally a successful third. His cat was part of HIS family, and he decided they would both be survivors together, and to hell with the cost. That cat is still with him, practically his best friend, several years later, and he has never regretted the choice.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm pulling for Basil!! He looks to be fighter with a will to live. Fingers crossed for goodness all around. xxsueeeushttp://www.sueeeus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-64888600812525243992011-03-27T04:26:16.815+11:002011-03-27T04:26:16.815+11:00Come on Basil.

The choice part was taken from us and I'm rooting for the sweet purple kitty to have his surgery and be up "scaring" bunnies in no time. Or being scared by bunnies anyway.

Hit by a car, broke a leg and still jumped up to my windowsill to let me know he was there (as he did regularly). He ended up just fine - I hope Basil has the same outcome.caramaenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06424093087905485630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-73399740962740899112011-03-26T17:22:22.108+11:002011-03-26T17:22:22.108+11:00So so so so sorry to read this today.

This is a really good sign, I think. X-rays good is another positive.<br />However, if you're going to be up for thousands of dollars in vet bills that are unaffordable...there's that hideous decision. On going financial stress versus grief and loss.<br />What is it? That saying? "Caught between a rock and a hard place." However, I'll subscribe to a Basil fund: set one up.fiveandtwohttp://fiveandtwo.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31191208.post-83014912819848542312011-03-25T17:03:22.634+11:002011-03-25T17:03:22.634+11:00I've been waiting with trepidation to see your...I've been waiting with trepidation to see your post today, and am so happy to see things are looking up.

I missed your first post, just logged in ...OH NO!!<br /><br />I missed your first post, just logged in to see this one and thought "what happened, what happened??" so had to go back.<br /><br />Poor Basil!! Kitty, you have to get better!!<br /><br />Don't feel ashamed of your emotion during this time, it is normal when you love something to feel sad. I remember when Sam got a blood germ and needed a blood transfusion, he was only an hour from death they told me. Worst night of my life. He survived, and 4 years later, still kicking on. <br /><br />Hang in there.
