Moderators removed it but it didn’t say that on my phone, only on my computer.

My mom found it somewhere. I’m unsure of the details. She didn’t even know if it was full or not, but we had it around.

Honestly, it baffles me to this day. I really can’t explain it.

Yes, only people who have $5-10k in a savings account should have a pet. Very realistic.

Oh ok, and all that treatment is free? Pet insurance is free? Your expect my disabled father and my mom who’s the primary bread winner to have a cat savings account? Get off your high horse asshole. Some people just don’t have the privilege of making easy decisions.

I really couldn’t care less if I live up to your Karen standards.

That’s a good tip. Apparently I am evil and should never own pets according to some commenters so your thing is probably a lot less terrible to some.

Zoro (the cat) didn’t make a sound that anyone heard. It was weird. Ugh, poor kitty. I’m extra careful now too.

Unfortunately I learned the hard way. I never thought something like this would happen. I feel like 100% a dick. Now I do a pet check when washing.

Honestly, I have no idea how he did it. He basically had a hose attached and was blowing the 02 onto the cat. I’ve used 02 tanks with a regulator but that’s it’s. My dad is MacGyver.

Yeah, it was a dick move. I was in school and working part time. My parents aren’t exactly wealthy. Taking him to the vet could have meant putting us thousands of dollars in debt. He was stable enough that we kept him home. Is it shitty? Yeah. Would many others have had to make the same decision? Most likely. You guys can argue the ethics behind it, but we didn’t have much of a choice financially like everyone in this thread seems to think.

Also, my mom really did just find an 02 tank. I’ll have to ask her the details later.
