Best way to tactfully approach my mums friend...

[Millys Mum]

Money is of high importance hence the trying to blame it on the first vet for "missing" it.
I will just have to try and time an approach very accurately   

[blackcat]

wow! how amazing!!! Mine is very good at getting other people to progress her argument for her, but is more than capable of shrieking when the mood takes her. Problemo, I see ... Is the cat still left outside at present? Pity, almost that it is insured, if it wasn't and the money was coming out of their own pockets then may be they might be responsive to suggestions of not getting their money's worth if they don't give proper follow-up care - hard to know what sort of reaction is going to get a response if they are that sort of person ... maybe the redcurrant approach has its merits ... 

[Millys Mum]

She agrees 100% with me but is just a soft person, iv never ever heard her shout!

[blackcat]

you may have to coach her  but I do see your problem. perhaps if you work your mum up into a state about 'that poor cat', just as she is heading next door? would that help?

[Millys Mum]

Maybe your mum could make more progress. My mum's friends think I am still 14 so pay no attention to anything I have to say.

Thats what i wondered but my mum isnt very firm!

DD, he was at the vets 4 nights  he was really poorly and to see him sat on the doorstep stretching up every so often was really sad 

[unseeliechylde]

poor wee lad! I have to admit I would be tempted to offer to take him off their hands if they weren't prepared to look after him properly, but then that's not likely to get a very positive response!
Maybe it would be better if he should somehow find his way to a more loving home...

[Cheesecat]

If I were that kitty I would run away... 

No wonder he has a cold being left out all day in this weather 

[Yvonne]

Sending good luck vibes to you - it is a difficult one   

[Dawn (DiddyDawn)]

I really hope he doesnt go missing one day and turn up at a CP or rescue centre some miles away where he finds a new forever loving and caring home 

That would be such a shame    If the cat is ill and he's spent the night in the vets, how can they just turf him out whilst they are at work    What utter  

[Ralph's mum (angie)]

Poor wee baby, hope you can make them see sense, thinking of you 

[Michelle (furbabystar)]

Ah poor poor cat, he deserves so much more.

I really hope he doesnt go missing one day and turn up at a CP or rescue centre some miles away where he finds a new forever loving and caring home 

[blackcat]

Do they have small children? if so, perhaps you could play the 'how would you feel if you had to tell little sammy that his/her beloved kitty died because you didn't take proper care of it? I dunno, some people just shouldn't have animals because they just can't think of them as sentient, feeling beings... Maybe your mum could make more progress. My mum's friends think I am still 14 so pay no attention to anything I have to say.

[Angiew]

If they have the cat insured then they must think something of it.

It is suprising how some uncared for cats take it upon themselves to find new homes however.

[Millys Mum]

He doesnt deserve it, i guess when your a stray you take whats available   
The youngest son is a right  too   

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

Oh dear pooor cat..................I wish I knew but the they dont deserve the cat 

[Millys Mum]

My mum was childminding for her friend last friday and on thurs evening she came round and said they thought the cat was ill and if my mum thought it neccessary to take him to the vets in the morning.
Me being nosey enquired further and it sounded like his bladder so i thought he should go to the vets, she didnt agree so i suggested the minimum of keeping him in overnight with a tray so he could be monitored. Again no response and then left.
2 hours later she returns to borrow a cat box as hes rapidly gone downhill and shaking.
Vets now keep him in and he was transferred in the morning to his normal vet, having been diagnosed with a blocked bladder   
He was released yesterday teatime and no doubt turfed out for the night as he was shut out today while they were at work. He even came and sat at my backdoor   

They are not the type of people to be arsed with anything and im concerned for him.
How do i approach them and hopefully get through to them that he now needs extra care?

Shes even quibbling the £50 excess as he went 3 weeks before for a cold and it was a young lady vet who must have missed it!!
