On the way to the gym this morning I watched this baby kitten nearly get run over about five times scared shitless in the middle of the road. Finally me this woman and her daughter were able to get out there stop traffic and rescue him. He kept hissing at the girl but let me pick him right up. They took him to the vet and as I drove to the gym I realized. I want this cat!! It's all black like guess what, a panther. I helped save it's life!!! I already thought of a name for him. Keek!!!!!!! So I decided to call some vets and guess what? First one I call is where they took him. So I've been in contact with the woman and I can have the cat. Here's the issue, spending roughly two hundred dollars to get all his shots will make things tight for a while and there is no chance I can afford to get him declawed at the moment(he'd have to stay inside). So should I suck it up for a little while or let them find him another home? Sorry the post was a little long im just really torn.

Why declaw the cat? If it's that young, it can be easily trained to not use the furniture as a scratching post, if that's your concern. Simply purchase a scratching post or make one from carpet scraps the local Home Depot or Lowe's will sell you for next to nothing. Please, if there's any way possible you can your way to not declaw the cat, it's better for everyone. Also please know that some vets will no longer perform declawing as they view it as inhumane.

 

I'd be more concerned about getting an accurate age so that he (you do know it's a M or F, I hope?) can be fixed before he starts spraying.

Well the lady at the vet says she's fairly sure it's a boy. Not quite sure how she wouldn't know for certain, but that's what she said. It appeared to be about 8 weeks old or so. I just wanted to know up front how much everything was going to cost me before I commit.

Owning cats is not very expensive. I share my home with three. Like Anybodyhome said, scratching can be easily controlled with a post or scratching pads. And I agree, at this point the most important thing is to get it it's shots and get it fixed ASAP. If it is a boy and starts spraying, he will quickly fall out of favor with you. I think they can be fixed at any age but I'm not sure. Interestingly enough, one of our cats was a rescue (from a hospital parking lot) and he was a kitten (a black one too) on the verge of death. He has turned out to be one of the sweetest, most appreciative animals I've ever been in contact with. He too looks like a black panther and weighs almost 30 lbs. And his name is Jake  :lol:

Yeah im not doing that, I was just throwing it out there because the lady at the vet asked me about it. But I am getting the cat. Trying to sell my tickets to the game tomorrow now. Anyone interested.

 

 

Have it euthanized.  I didn't realize you were thinking of doing something this desperate to pay for the medical costs.    :)

Find a new vet. Most vets won't even declaw because it's an inhumane practice. Any vet that offers declawing procedures, outside of emergencies (I don't even know if a declawing emergency exists), is not a vet that I would want to go to.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
