No, its not.  We've had cats, currently own a dog.  Just pointing out that it is a really poor choice to spend $6000 on a cat- especially if you can't afford it.  I completely understand the bond between pet and owner.  But guess what- death is part of life.  SIX GRAND on a cat?  You're out of your mind.  And without knowing the condition / surgery, I question its quality of life going forward.

My vote is euthanize, mourn, and new kitten.

Call me an asshole if you want but OP's sister is making very bad choices due to emotion.  [/quote]

Look, I agree with you.  I personally would euthanize (probably?) if it were my call.  But don't you think "kill the cat" sounds a little harsh?  This is someone's beloved pet.[/quote]

I think she did the surgery because she's already broke. What's more broke?
$6000 is a meaningless number if you have almost no money or if you have lots and lots of money. If you are like OP and most of us, $6000 is a decent chunk of change that we could use for a lot of things. No, giving it to her would not put us in the poor house, but it would mean not using it for something else.[/quote]

Like a nice used car. Or invest it for retirement or college.  Huge opportunity cost. [/quote]
