    Doesn't matter whose cat it is - it needs to go to the vet!

    If your aunt doesn't want this cat it should go to the humane society so they can take care of it and find it a new home. You're not doing the cat any favors. There are so many things that could be wrong, including parasites that could be transferred to humans. If you start having itchy spots on you, then the cat probably has ringworm. Maybe you can get your Dad to tell your aunt to either take the cat to the vet or he's taking it to the humane society. Sounds like a plan, don't you think?

    That is neglect and also abuse. The poor cat is entitled to proper medical care. Tell your aunt and your father directly to their faces that if someone does not take the cat to the vet, you will pick up the phone and report them to the animal control authorities. Too many animal control officers have seen cruelty and neglect like this. It doesn't matter if it is a power-play between the adults or if they are acting like children - the cat is the one who will pay the price for their ugliness and suffer.

    Get that cat to the vet! He is suffering already; that's why he has those symptoms.

    well since you don't talk to your aunt, screw her. Take the cat to the vet or humane society and let them know it is not yours and that it is your aunts and she isn't taking care off it. You won't have to pay for the bill, but you will see that the cat gets help and doesn't possibly die. On the other hand, your aunt might get in trouble, but again i say screw her. I can't stand when people can't take care of there pets. Well good luck and I hope you make the right decision.

    It sounds really bad and needs to be seen. It could be a number of things going on with and it sounds like it may be miserable.

    If your aunt doesn't want to take responsibility for it, then see if your dad will take it to the vet. He can take responsibility of it, or maybe just turn it over or something like that. It obviously sounds like you care about it enough to notice what is going on. Maybe if he threatens her to take it and drop it off or report her to animal control, she will finally take it to vet.

    There isn't anyone to refer you to over the internet. Without looking at the cat and maybe doing some lab work, there is no way for anyone to know what is going on with your cat.

    I don't know what this could be, but it sounds serious. This cat should be taken to the vet immediately. If your aunt loves this animal she should not let it suffer. If she can't or won't call a vet then I would notify your local humane society.

    The BEST website I have found for cat ailments is:

    http://www.vetinfo4cats.com/catindex.html

    I would take the cat to the vet anyway. Isn't there a time she wouldn't notice the cat gone for awhile?

    It's not fair for a cat to suffer because of a disagreement between people. It's not his fault. The longer you let him go, the more he will suffer, and then you may not be able to save him, and THAT would be on your conscience forever.

    Hi there, Please take the cat to the Vet ASAP! Tell the Vet about your situation, and maybe he will give you a discount. Or possibly making payment arrangements. Sounds like you love this little guy. Good Luck & Take Care!

    do no longer feed the fish to any extent further than this is going to devour in a couple of minutes. exchange the water a minimum of each month, yet basically exchange 30% of it each time. purchase water conditioner (some money) to make the faucet water risk-free. It seems such as you have a goldfish. If the fish is in a fish bowl fairly of a fish tank, then you certainly ought to get an air pump ($10-20) to maintain the water oxygenated, because of the fact the floor to quantity ratio is unlikely adequate to guarantee adequate oxygen substitute. there are a variety of of of greater concepts, counting on how stepped forward you elect to get. I advise which you bypass on your close by puppy save and ask the clerk what you desire to your specific fish and tank.
