There is a big difference between a child and a cat.

If my child hurts him/herself I do not rush off to the A&E unit before assessing what has happened. Maybe the cat owner is doing the same thing. I would not go to the hospital myself with a twisted ankle, would you?

If I were dragging my leg (even though only a twisted ankle) would certainly attend A & E. Always difficult to tell the difference between a twisted/sprained/broken ankle (and I have had 'em all) and the damage can be exacerbated in the meantime.

Yes, of course, there is a difference between a child and a cat, however, once you take on a pet they are entitled to the same amount of care to avoid suffering, this is why we have such bodies as the R.S.P.C.A.

I think you will find we have the R.S.P.C.A. because there is cruelty to animals not because we all care but because some people don't care.

This cat may need attention, I don't know I haven't seen it if I thought it did I'd try to get it some, but I would never compare the importance of an animals life to that of a child the two are just not the same.

Sure I already have just said this Less .... :rolleyes:

Doesn't mean you have to take a risk with what could be a serious injury just because it's a cat!

Re: Injured Cat

Do they? I haven't seen or heard of them for ages, that's why I asked. I wonder where your nearest branch is. The nearest one to me was (is?) in Manchester. Anyway, they are very good if you can't afford enormous vet fees.

Re: Injured Cat

I am sure if the owner were struggling financially the vet would come to some aggreement to pay the bill off in instalments. No need to leave an animal in pain.

Yes, you'd be prosecuted if you made a child wear a collar with a bell on it.

I thought it was a really nice looking brick ... can't remember it in too much detail .... maybe it got yanked because it wasn't a NORI:confused: Maybe someone assumed that you are the kind of person who goes around whacking unsuspecting cats with a brick you carry concealed in or on your person, and that you might attract a following. Maybe it would have been more appropriate in a thread titled: "How to brick a camel without hurting your thumbs.";)

If you can't afford the enormous vets bills you should not have a pet.

Of course they can - does your vet use his psychic powers to decide if its leg hurts when he feels it our the fact the animal pulls away or whimpers like the rest of us would
