If your cat was dying, would you go on vacation? :-(

I can't understand how she can think that his birthday matters. He doesn't know that it's his birthday but he will know he is sick and alone. I think she had him better PTS than leaving him alone in a time like this.

I agree 100%!! It's really beyond me that she cannot stand the thought of him being PTS on his birthday, but leaving him alone for four days, all alone and dying!
