for a second I misread that as "delivered them and fed them to a veterinerian"...its been a long day

They all died in a car crash on the way to the vet. Really tragic.

"seeking treatment"

Would’ve been turned away here in the States for no proof of insurance.
lemonsherbet
Yes but did they bring the cats back so the momma cat can get back to her other kittens?

Cats really are running things
qtRaven
In the US that cat would be 50k in debt now.
Slayage
The "healthcare" system in the US isn't something I can wrapped my head around, being from a country where healthcare is universal.
qtRaven
Easy to figure out. It's run for profit. Not for the benefit of the people.
Slayage
So sad.

What about all the other kittens left behind?

I read that as a stray turkey and it sounded a lot more impressive.

It's almost practically impossible not to help them, because they're everywhere.

Hey, fellow doctors we're dealing with a pandemic and there's a feral, likely disease-ridden cat outside. Should we bring it inside?

Not to be a downer, but what with the rest of her litter? Did they find her healthy litter?

Just a thought, Vet practices should combine with medical centres. Share resources and either side can help during emergency overload
funkylittlebeat
Yes, because zoonotic diseases in close proximity to humans would never present any risk.

Medical schools teach the lesson of Doogie Howser MD who almost resigned because he treated a dog with a broken leg. They know now....

If I recall correctly, Turkey is pretty good about taking care of their street cats. Someone correct me if I’m wrong?
joshybones
They make pretty good street tacos too.
Slayage
This is true. The municipality of Istanbul even fed them. Because of the corona measures they're weren't getting enough food.
OregonFlyer
Thank you ??
Tomyris
Yes, a lot of ppl put food out every morning. I also saw strays who were healing from surgery which meant someone took them to a vet.
cyrilzeta
My favorite thing about Turkey is how much they care about street animal. More like community pets, really...
HenryLongfellowIII
Seems to be an Eastern thing. They do the same in Georgia (Tbilisi).
Slayage
A cousin from Turkey visited me last summer in the Netherlands, where I live, and she said that it struck her that there weren't any cats 1
Slayage
And dogs in the streets. When I pointed out that streetcats and dog's weren't tolerated and when caught exterminated. She was shocked. 2
Slayage
Even though it of course is a health risk to have so many animals in the streets. For some reason they are tolerated. 3
ChrisWsrn
Cats are not a health risk. They keep rodents under control.
stannisbaeratheon
I just went to Istanbul before all the craziness happened and I loved the stray cats/dogs there. Much better than the stray rats in DC.
tzap
Yeah thinking that a cat would come to an ER to seek treatment for its kid is just a massive case of anthropomorphization.
MustardDuck
Yes if you read what it actually says its basically "cat existing close to an ER has a kitten" and people assuming a lot of stuff.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
She likely sought human help in a more general sense. Shelter, food, scritches for good measure.Easier to get into an ER than people's homes
Dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirepus
You know what, sometimes that silly shit makes me smile. Let me have it.
cheeseguy3412
Its possible that it saw sick people going to a place that smells like a hospital, so they did the same. Its not too much of a 1/2
cheeseguy3412
stretch to think they might try the same. It doesn't require much more thought process than if(sick) seek (disinfectant smell) 2/2
tzap
Usually animals avoid other sick animals if they're obviously sick. Also I doubt a cat can tell if a human is sick. What's possible is 1/2
tzap
.. that the cat was used to humans and when distressed, sought out for humans. 2/2
cheeseguy3412
Also possible - but sickness would have a scent they can recognize, so they may know. Not saying its definitely the case, but possible
Chulacola
More like observation. There's another case where a mother cat was having birth problems (pt1)

So if cats understand that a vet can help them and they can recognize a vet, how come they can't open ordinary doors, watch for cars, 1/2
AFatRaccoon
I've had three cats that could open doors. One of them knew if I was grabbing my keys they had to run to the car if they wanted a ride.
tzap
They associate the keys and car with good stuff. They don't have a concept of catching a ride. Their associations are simpler than that.
tzap
or really perform any other fairly rudimentary task you'd expect someone who recognizes and understands what a vet is could perform? 2/2
kamosey
Fuckin retard. Why didn't she just take it to the vet in the first place.

She’s persona non grata at the local vet after stealing all the gloves when no one was looking
kamosey
Worst thing was, those gloves don't even fit her.
stillnotawake
She's a cat. She expects people to take her there.
threeGiraffe
While she yells at them the whole time.

Maybe she didn’t have money for a cab.

Covid-20. The feline kingdom has developed biological weapons tactics. This kitten is their first martyr.

Just checked where the pics were originally postedon twitter. No updates so far from our turkish friend. Reddit doesn’t have anything either

We have to know kitty is okay.

How much they charged the cat? Will Turks overthrow Erdogan? Is cheetah really the fastest land animal? Would you download a car?
G0MeatCube
Cat bills if self induced are taken care of by American Tax payers. Which is right here in

the cat paid with one of her lives. the turks will not overthrow erdogan. cheetah is the fastest land mammal. i would steal a car(not).

Turkey may be a totalitarian regime, but at least they have free healthcare. The cat wasn't charged.

Cumhuriyet reported on it. They fed the mother, cared for the kitten and had both transfered to a vet. Both are well.
crazyspelling
But was the cat and her kitten returned to the front of the hospital so she could find her way back to her other kittens?!?!
Freakscar
Good question, I just googled the story and translated the article for me. That was about all they wrote.
