I found a poor, thin cat on the street about 6 months ago. When I took her to one vet, they said she was at least ten years old and not worth keeping. They treated her like she was worthless. Despite what they said, I kept her (and switched vets). She had a lot of issues and seemed to have constant infections, but we kept her on medications and she was happy. She loved to sit on laps and chase toy mice around the room. Last night (11/13/07) she died at around 3am. I have only had her for a month, and yes the medications were not cheap (they weren't too expensive either) but she was happy and I do not and will not EVER regret taking her in and loving her. I hope where ever her spirit is now that she is happy and playing
