| My cat gave out a last mornful wail and died on my living room capet just now, the Prince is gone.
He was about six months old and suffered a dog bite and attack two a few days ago. Which I attempted to treat with pain killer form a vet, and so forth. He seemed to perk up and yesterday seemed well on his way to recovering, but today lost his energy and gave up the ghost. It is sad, at least for me. And I wish people would keep their dogs on a leash, but they don't mind if their dogs run after cats, they think that is just "nature's way". I post this here because you cannot get free medical aid for a pet if you own the pet, they will take a stray and kill it for humane purposes, but they will not treat your cat or pet and then return it to you if you do not pay. Very expensive. At least well over my soc security budget. He did not suffer a lot, just went in his sleep. But the thing is that if we get too practical about welfare and if the budget minded politics cut out emergency care treatment for people, the same thing will happen to children of the poor.
So from now on I will deicate my advocations for welfare to the memory of my cat, a black and white cat that I found living on this house I rented, left behind by a the fomer tenant. A stay cat that was homeless but whom I allowed to come inside, that it could have shelter while ill. May the howls of compassion drown out all the click click sound of the money changers who say "we cannot afford to be nice or compassionate", woe unto them, for they hear not the Prince of peace |
