Hi. I have posted about this before.
A neighbour of mine, a man in his 50s who I have known for a few years is going away camping for a few days with his girlfriend, who has also been a good friend of mine for a few years now.
I am catsitting his cat George (look in my albums for pics from my last catsitting job).
George is about 14 and never has been to a vet. In the last year, he very occasionally piddles where he shouldn't; also, he is really bony along his back and hips, and has started drinking more water; plus he is on a mix of dry food mixed with wet as he started having problems with dry kibble (though he nibbles a bit of it that is left out for him between meals).
It never has occurred to this guy to take George to the vet to check teeth, check for a bladder infection, and diabetes/kidney/thyroid. Yet he doesn't want George to piddle on his new rug.
They are leaving tomorrow and will be back Tuesday. It is all I can do to not poof George to the vet - except I have little money! but still!
His GF agrees with me...should I email her tonight? Poof George to the vet? I am almost beyond becoming really upset - the owner simply does not "get it". If you met him, you would think he is a nice guy - and he is. But CLUELESS.
Advice, please....
PS George is a happy friendly cat with a HUGE appetite. Has always been indoors/outdoors - never any injuries. So far.
