    My list has been growing the last few weeks.

    I did not know such a list was around. How do I add people to it and how does it work?

    Im guessing the OP has already handled the problem since we are 3 days into this? CCI Quiet or just take it to a vet and they will put it down with a shot ( no pun intended)

    You know, I can let it slide when some folks post w/o reading the whole thread... But the op came back ON THIS PAGE and said the cat is on the mend. And we still have folks offering suggestions on how to dispatch the animal.

    Maybe a shovel, hammer, I would use a .22. My Dad would probably use a bag, and rock and a pond.

    This seems like a long time to let the poor thing suffer in agony.

    Well.


    Um....


    glad the cat is getting better and for future info


    Yes, vets are a lot more expensive than a .22. We generally sedate, inject anesthesia, keep it painless, etc but I don't think it's a bad choice to use a quick method if you need to save the money.

    Another option if you can't afford treatment or professional euthanasia is to call your local shelter. Some will euthanize for a smaller fee. The downside is that you usually have to drop them off. They may be in a cage for a while, it may be a less pleasant environment, and not exactly with the time your vet gives. But it's an option sometimes.
