If I had the money I would help you <3 but I can Post s journal to let more people know I know its not quite the same but at least its a bit helpful <3 I Hope everything works out!

It would be a huge help, thanks so much ;_;

Last time my altruistic urges were tapped I gave my friend money for her cat who was sick. She's now $3000 in the red and working 2 jobs 15 hours a day because of that damn cat. I regret helping to facilitate that.

when you love something youd do anything for it.

Maybe it's because I think we have too many animals (a rabbit, a dog, a hamster, and 4 cats) but if one of them ended up costing a ridiculous amount of money I'd probably have to reach for the shotgun.

I sent the little bit I had left in my paypal. <3 Wish I could help more, and I wish I could give you a ride too. What area do you live in? I've got several friends spread around florida, could possibly find you a ride to take him...

I live near tampa. But my parents wouldn't approve of a ride. I would drive him myself...but not until I can get the money.

ah, i see. Parents suck sometimes. >.<

Did you call the vets up at least? :s Maybe there's something you can do for him for now, til you can get the money all together.

Yes, all I can do now is let him rest and make sure he stays hydrated and comfortable till I can get him to a vet.

ah, well good luck *hugs* Best wishes for you and the lil kitty. <3

If only I can help, sadly due to my job not enough hours deal. I won't be able to do a thing.

One thing for sure is, that you are right about this. Too bad your parent's don't care about skittles. :(

Yeah...could you make a journal for it...?

I will see what I can do.

I can't give anything since I'm flat broke but I did a journal for it. I hope it helps.

Thankyou sooooo much. I hope it gets the word out

I hope it does too, and I hope Skittles can get the help needed!

I don't want to go to the vets! -shot-

I can help you, but would you mind it being a commission wise thing? My fiance doesn't like me sending money for 'nothing', you know? ;-;

Yes certainly! ;3; What would you like?

I shall note you details! ;3;

thankooooo ;3;

"He's just going to have to suffer"....
That's, like.. animal cruelty..
God, I sure hope that you get him to the vet in time ;<

Yes....sometimes my parents stun me.....especially my dad. he can be extremely cruel...

That's along the same lines I was thinking. >_>

i can't give any money but i made a journal for your kitty http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1622861/

Thanks soooooo much!

welcome hun i will show my mate if I can he wont have net for a bit but if i can he might donate

well, you can always threaten to report them for animal abuse. i know i sure as hell would, but i'm in a different situation than you, and can't speak for you.

its not animal abuse if they cant pay for it.

if they can't afford it, they shouldn't have taken on the responsibility. and yes, it is. that's like saying 'oh, it's not illegal for me to drive my car with no headlights, i can't afford to replace them' or 'oh, it's not illegal for me to steal, because i can't afford it' how about somebody goes and breaks their arms, see how quick they can 'afford' to go to the hospital (i do not advocate this, i'm just using it as an example)

oh please. if you cant afford to get headlights you walk or take a bus. if you cant afford the hosital stay for breaking yer arm,you dont go. thats happened to me before. it doesnt make it human abuse now does it? it also doesnt make it animal abuse if you cnt pay for it to go to the hospital. it means you cant pay. calling it abuse is more human abuse than anything forcing someone to pay something they cannot and perhaps bankrupting them and putting them in a situation they cannot afford to live

like i said, if they can't afford it, they shouldn't have taken on the responsibility. and you're telling me that you broke a bone and didn't go to the hospital? most hospitals, and vets, will let you work out a payment plan. so no, that's a bullshit answer. if they can afford to give a twelve year old and a fourteen year old an allowance, they can't be that badly off. i was lucky to get a candy bar when i was that old, forget an allowance.

you know what? i'm not going to reply any more to you. say what you will. tartii, i hope you can get skittles into the vet quick.

animal cruelty is the biggest BS ever thought of -.- and it will befell america.

A) even in court, because she said it was her cat, her parents dont have to pay anyways cuz its not thier cat, so ven by your standards, they are free

B) its still BS. you cannot force someone to pay to fix a cat if they cannot pay it. its not an allowance, its hundreds of dollars. theres a difference. if they dont want to pay or cannot, they dont have to. other shit is more important.

still cruelty if even if not in the laws eyes... I'm pretty sure her parents could have very well paid for the cat to go to the vet. I'm not sayin' that it wouldn't deal a financial blow but isn't the life of a pet worth more than financial stability? I say this even from the stand point of somone who believes human lives are worth more than that of animals.

if you throw yourself into financial instability it means that you will just barely get by on food, water, house etc payments, and if anything else happens, you will have to lose something vital.

in this circumstance, no its not cruelty, its logic

its not logic itz priority

Thats easilly risking 5 lives for saving 1. not anywhere near a good trade off at all. not to mention, you lose your house, the cat dies anyways unless it knows how to hunt and survivve outside

no thats risking the health and comfort of 5 people to save 1 life, and no if you lose your home you can the cat away to an animal shelter.

Letting the animal suffer in sickness without care when you can afford it is abuse. If you can't afford it, it's your duty as a pet owner to put your animal to sleep or find some way to finance it.

Animal cruelty is not bullshit at all. These creatures cannot speak for themselves. There is a line, don't get me wrong, but the laws are there for a reason.

putting it to sleep is more cruelty than anything else said thus far -.-

how is that cruelty
painfully dieing of internal injuries vs. falling asllep and not waking up

ok... its fucking retarded. my comfort andwell being of my famly > a cats life. just sell it to the asians. theyll cook it right up.

on top of which its moreso inhumane to put a cat to sleep because you are judging wheather or not it wants to die or live. by what yer saying its cruelty to not bring it to the vet even if you cant afford it, yet its not cruelty to put it to sleep and judging wheather or not it wants to live even through the pain? dude, you REALLY need to get your priorities straight. if you pick your cat over your familly, you really dont deserve a familly

Your arrogance amuses me,
Families life > Cats life > Families comfort > Cats comfort.
I really hope you don't have a pet dude. Your telling me if the cats going to die anyway its cruel to make it's death more comfortable? I believe it is you who needs to get there priorities straight. Like I said I really hope you don't have a pet because in the moment it needs you you probably wouldn't pull through for it...

i have 3 cats and one is 18 years old, so i ont think im that bad of a petowner. and family > cat. any simple minded person can figure that out -.- my priorities are correct

and ok... making the death more comfortable when its not your choice, its the cats. smart choice, right?

You seem to be a simple minded person for simplifying your priorities in such a way. I'm sure my family would be willing to discard some comfort to save our dog, but they sure as hell wouldn't die for him. I say my priorities are quite correct. Yours seem to be a bit inhumane.
BTW The cat obviously doesn't know how to make that choice itself you simpleton, its whats best for it...

sure it can make the choice. its called a principal of life, EVERYTHING living wants to survive. therefore, i dont think the cat would ever be thinking about it wanting to die sooner. so i think obviously it can make the choice. you can also put it next to a high cliff, and i dont think it would just jump off either, thus further provingit wants to live

Of course everything has the will to live moron, but not everything as the ability to reason and realize that its whats best and that its going to die anyway. It's the owner job to be smarter than the cat... I wouldn't suggest putting it down however unless there is nothing else that can be done for it.

BTW your saying it's inhumane to put it down, but it's not inhumane to sell it to Asians, so that they can slaughter it and eat it?

correct. a law of nature is killing for food is fair game. so its perfectly humane

No it's not.... playing by what you consider the laws of nature, isn't the same as being humane. Besides Humans are nature thus there is no law that says all nature follows said principle. It is much more humane to put it to sleep...

erm, it is actually a law of nature. food is needed to sustain life. all living things kill for food, except those on the first level of the food chain which gets energy elsewhere, ie photosynthesis. killing for food is therefor a natural and nbessesary occurance.

therefore, all nature follows this principal. as well as anything living wants to survive. when faced with a life or death situation, all living things will do anything to survive. one of the few exceptions are humans who may or may not risk thier life in a life or death situation to save someone else.

But ONLY killing to survive is NOT a law of nature, nor is it necessarally humane... Also any of the "Asians" that can afford to buy the cat can probably survive another way... don't you think?

killing to survive falls under survival by any means, so yes it is a lawof nature. if your put in a situation where you have to kill 5 other humans to live, instict will take over and you will kill them all to live, clearing the variables of you knowing them and anything else in the situation like human laws. you want to survive by any means. instinct doesnt care about humane

and hey, they gotta eat something, whether its a cat or a cow or a plant, its still a living thing.

Yes but its not a law of nature to ONLY kill to survive, listen to what I'm saying. It is a law to kill to survive, but not a law to ONLY kill to survive. What I'm saying is killing not to survive does not violate that law. And now you change your argument, of course instinct doesn't care about being humane, I never said it did. All i said was selling your cat to be slaughtered was less human than putting it to sleep, and further more that it is completely humane to put a dieing cat to sleep. And of course they have to eat but your telling me you would sell your own house cat to feed some random people you don't even know, when they could just as easily just go out and buy something else to eat?

id rather sell it to be eaten than put it to sleep, yes.

A) i make a profit
B) its beingused as food and not just a death
C) its far more humane than killing somethingthat may wish to not be killed just because it is "dieing" and could very well survive, which has happened often in history

Well I don't want to be your cats thats for sure
A) i make a profit
thats just horrible
B) its beingused as food and not just a death
Why does that matter? It's more cruel for it to be butcherd then for it to simply go to sleep and not wake up.
C) its far more humane than killing somethingthat may wish to not be killed just because it is "dieing" and could very well survive, which has happened often in history
1) it dosen't want to be butchered either
2) im talking strictly on the basis that its dieing
3) the owner is smarter than the ignorant cat, and if the cat was as smart as the owner, it would most likely perfer to be put to sleep...

1) horrible, maybe. smart, for sure. its a profit after all, and its gunna die anyways from your point of view, so hey, its extra cash.

2) oh yes, cuz thats much better.... fuck no. death is death, no matter how sugar coated you put it. how you die makes no difference. id much rather beput through a lot of pain to live 5 more seconds than die 5 seconds earlier without the pain

3) its being used for food, it may not wantto be butchared, but who cares. its now food, and no longer should be thought of with simpathyor compassion. its food for petes sake. you need it to survive

1) horrible, maybe. smart, for sure. its a profit after all, and its gunna die anyways from your point of view, so hey, its extra cash.
True but but honestly being humane is higher on my list than making a little extra cash.
2) oh yes, cuz thats much better.... fuck no. death is death, no matter how sugar coated you put it. how you die makes no difference. id much rather beput through a lot of pain to live 5 more seconds than die 5 seconds earlier without the pain
That's a rather arrogant preference do you know how painful death in such a way is? What is there to do in five seconds that would be worth so much pain? it does make a difference pain is pain you can have it or do without it, and I'm pretty damn sure the cat would rather do without it, but you don't care do you? you would rather make some money off of it.
3) its being used for food, it may not wantto be butchared, but who cares. its now food, and no longer should be thought of with simpathyor compassion. its food for petes sake. you need it to survive
It should be approached by the same amount of compassion, your not helping anyone by selling a cat to someone who can already afford food. Telling yourself it's doing good to have it eaten is quite ignorant.

1) hey, moneys money, and money puts food on the table

2) 5 seconds could meen the difference between telling your loved ones goodbye and just dieing

3) they can afford other non cat foods... cuz it really makes a difference what they kill and eat right? its still going to be a living thing. if you want to get by without eating living things, have fun eating rocks :)

1) hey, moneys money, and money puts food on the table
At this point it dosen't appear being humane is making a difference, but I'm pretty sure you can afford to put food on the table through other means...
2) 5 seconds could meen the difference between telling your loved ones goodbye and just dieing[quote]
1) Well if you as a human were being put to sleep I'm sure they would give you time to say goodbye first
2) That cat can't say goodbye
[quote]3) they can afford other non cat foods... cuz it really makes a difference what they kill and eat right? its still going to be a living thing. if you want to get by without eating living things, have fun eating rocks :)
Well I'd rather watch them eat a random cow than my own house cat. They're not gonna be any better off eating your cat than a cow, selling it to "Asians" is not giving your cat away for a good cause...

sustainment of life is a better cause than murder, which putting something to sleep without its consent or continuation of ones life technically is

wooow ! Your nuts duo1666 and voodoo predator is right.

Your not sustaining a life, it's murder either way, just painful murder, and peaceful HUMANE murder.

your definition of murder needs to be checked.... theres no such thing as humane murder, and what i described was not murder, it was killing for food, which is not murder. what you described,and blatenly stated that the cat has no say because we are smarter than it, is in fact murder

Are you completely blind sir?
Painful death < Peaceful death
Murder = killing intentionally.
Killing a cat for food is murder, killing anything for food is murder, but nothing is thought of it since in fact it is needed to survive. But you'd rather sell your own dieing cat something you love to be murdered when it could just as easily be a random cow? I'll say it again they both are in fact murder. Putting the cat down is more humane than having it butchered. Your not sustaining anyone's life by butchering the cat, you're just making a profit for inhumanely killing your cat.

i hate to tell you, but murder is an unjustifyable killing. killing for food, sir, is NOT murder. and cow, cat, WHO CARES? it still has to die. and from what youve stated, why not just kill every living thing right now? just start a massive genocide, i mean, we are allgoing to die, so we should just mak it a peaceful one right now, right?

Your a real arrogant moron, based on what you've said love means nothing. If you want to be a real bitch about it neither is murder here is the official definition of murder.
Murder - the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law. In the U.S., special statutory definitions include murder committed with malice aforethought, characterized by deliberation or premeditation or occurring during the commission of another serious crime, as robbery or arson (first-degree murder), and murder by intent but without deliberation or premeditation (second-degree murder).
So putting the cat to sleep is humane and butchering it is inhumane neither is murder, both are killing. So it doesn't matter then weather the animal your close to gets butchered or a random farm animal does? Cool your temper and stop arguing this nonsense, at this point what you say is completely illogical. Why not start a massive genocide? Because every living thing is not in critical condition and suffering. You sir take my words and twist them to try to make your own insane bickering look correct when in reality you are obviously wrong.

if im wrong then prove it. you have not proven me wrong. your killing something for no reason, without consult to it. ie, you have the intention of killing it without consult to it and without a reason to justify your claims that includes the saving of oneself or another, aka, murder tyvm. second degree i believe, because you cannot asume the self defence plea.

and how am i wrong? people need to eat. whether its a cat or cow makes no difference. im sure the starving people in africa that go hungry would love a nice tasty cat. more food than they see in weeks probably

I have proven you wrong I have presented you with the official definition of murder, and killing a cat in any way is not. if it's a fight over whats humane, well that's a matter of opinion isn't it? However it appears everyone so far has agreed with me.

As for what you said about the starving people in Africa I I highly doubt that they could pay for the cat, as for the people in Asia who could afford to pay for it, they could buy something else and your cat would then be able to die peacefully...

or i could just let it live and the docs could be wrong, like they are 20%+ of the time

yet youll never know that cuz you put it to sleep. dumbest mistake you could ever make. which is why yes, id rather sell it off for food cuz at least then its death willhave a purpous rather than put it to sleep when it coulda lived and been happy

Ok then go for it, I was speaking only if the death of the cat was certain.

but selling it off to be butcherd could also be a great mistake couldn't it?

this purpose you speak of is futile however since for what the 5th time, they could eat somthing else...

hey, at least someone gets something out of it. as a great philosopher once said, sure, all the people in the coloseum died, but look at all the people it brought joy to! the one death was worth the benefit for the greater good.

vs no one getting anything out of putting it to sleep. it dies where it could have lived and people in africa starve.

and theres no such thing as a certain death. people have survived a gun shot to the head, im sure a cat can survive a cold

hey, at least someone gets something out of it. as a great philosopher once said, sure, all the people in the coloseum died, but look at all the people it brought joy to! the one death was worth the benefit for the greater good.
Well... that's psychotic. You'd support the slaughter of a few people, to bring many others joy? that IS murder...
vs no one getting anything out of putting it to sleep. it dies where it could have lived and people in africa starve.
At this point you seem to imply giving the cat away, well who do you care more about the people in Africa or the cat? that's a personal choice, remember the odds of the cat surviving are still the same...
and theres no such thing as a certain death. people have survived a gun shot to the head, im sure a cat can survive a cold
Ah yes but it would be your job as the owner to asses the odds and determine weather to let it live or rather to put it down.

BTW the cat seems to have somthing much more severe than a cold

1) it was a quot from a philosopher dumbass -.- the quote means the greatest good for the greatest number is the best choice.

2) either way, you dont care about the cat if your gunna kill it

3) i wasnt refering to this case in particular

well thiis ones 3 and the 3 from last ones 4) assesment means nothing. doctors can say you will die and you can live, so theres always a chance of survival

1) it was a quot from a philosopher dumbass -.- the quote means the greatest good for the greatest number is the best choice.
Yes but the quote in itself explains that this is not always so doesn't it?
2) either way, you dont care about the cat if your gunna kill it
Yeah you do, that's why you would try to put it through as little pain as possible...
3) i wasnt refering to this case in particular
so what, what you stated wasn't in the same state of severity as the current situation. Your exaggerating that the cats condition isn't that serious, when it is...

your point?

for the second comment i mean...

2) if thats so then why not jut kill it at birth? life has suffering, you dont wanna suffer, dont live.

3) its called hyperbole. this case isnt as severe asa gunshot to the head is it? thus the hyperbole.

my point is simple: its not your job to asses wheter it will live or not, its the cats. either it will live or it will die. it is not your job to put it to sleep at all, if it wanted to die, it would succumb to whatever it has and just die. you dont see people on thier death beds justsaying to put them to sleep now do you? its not until they reach a delirious state that they do so, and are greatful and happy they went through it if they do live

2) There is a difference between occationaly suffering and suffering intensly and constantly. A kitten still has many years to live without extreme and constant physical suffering. Stop trying to use this over dramatised BS to prove a lost point.

3) Your missusing it...

I don't know what kind of principle your trying to uphold but I'm 100% citain it's more humane to have a cat put to sleep than to have it butchered. I don't want to discuss helping anyone else, all I will say is that it's indefinatly more humane to put it to sleep. nothing you will say will convince me or most anyone else otherwise

YES IT IS YOU ARE THE OWNER IT IS YOUR JOB.

you own the cat, not its life.

you own the cat, you own its life, because it's life is part of it.

2) there is no difference. there are points in your life where you will be in great pain, and you will just have to suck it up to live. this is just another example. its not over-dramatized bs, its the truth.

3) its nowhere near as humane. the cat still dies either way. andusually its not "butchared" they kill it quick and painlessly. a quick chop to the head and it feels nothing. and it feeds people. vs it just dieing when it could have lived

2) yes there is a difference when its dieing it can't just suck it up.

3) Allowing it to sleep and not waking it up is still a more peaceful and less tramatizing way to kill the cat, then again if you personally care more for the africans than your cat then fine so be it.

Stop arguing this crap. What you would do and whats humane are not the same thing.

its still more humane than what you say. its not going to sleep and not waking up, its still dieing. how it dies doesnt make a difference your just sugar coating death.

Actually it does matter, the expeirience before is relivent.

weather you'd rather be less humane and help people, or be more humane and help no one, is your personal prefrence. But think of it this way you could pay to have the dead beheaded cat shipped in a freezer all the way to Africa, or you could donate that money so that the Africans could get somthing more plentiful to eat. That way it would last longer...

and then you could have the cat put to sleep...

or you can have the cat live. hmm, which one?

If that was an option then great go for it..

in any case my friend, I have somewhere to be tomarrow, so I am afraid I can no longer participate in this conversation. I need some sleep...

gn, nice conversing with you

you as well ^x.^x...
