This is NOT a pointless thread kt_luvs_kitties.
You are upset over this, which I don't blame you and have come to us, as we understand how you feel.

I myself cannot comprehend how someone who works as a vet tech can do this to one of their kitties, KNOWING, the trauma and pain that these little ones go through.
Just because she is getting a new carpet!!!!!! No comment.

Personally, I wouldn't bring it up again. You already spoke to her in regards to what her options are and it's obvious that you were talking to a brick wall.

Try to put it out of mind. I know, easier said than done, but focus on all the good that vets also do.
