    This is all good advice guys, thanks. I think I'm going to go ahead with the surgery, for a couple of reasons. One, I think I would just regret seeing the cat limping badly for the rest of its life, knowing that I could have done something. Two, I'm already going to be about 200K in debt once I'm done with med school, so what's another 1500 right? It's an interesting way to look at it, but it kind of makes sense.

    So I'm going to try and pencil in the appointment tomorrow... boy will I love the bill considering that I have to add neutering to the cost as well. Good times for sure! Hopefully, since I'm keeping this guy as an indoor cat, this will be the last major problem I'll have to deal with. Indeed.

    Wow, good for you. I've always had cats and strays have been the most amazing pets. You will truly have a friend for life. :)

    Isn't the cat in a lot of pain?

    how long has it been?
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    He showed up at my house about 3 days ago with the broken leg. The vet game him a pain injection that lasted for 24 hours, but after that the vet said I shouldn't give him any more medicine.

    That's an awesome thing to do!! :)

    We have 'that' cat too. She comes every now and then. My grandma used to feed her before she died, and now it's us who are feeding her. She's a cute little thing, but I dunno if my family would be up for paying that much 'just for some cat'. Kudos to you!!

    You are awesome :)

    I spent almost $2500 on my cat a few years ago when she was sick. It was over the course of 1-2 months and I didn't add it all up until it was over. Every night she lays down next to me on my pillow and I know I made the right choice. I don't think you ever regret doing it.
