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

Yes but did they bring the cats back so the momma cat can get back to her other kittens?

In the US that cat would be 50k in debt now.

The "healthcare" system in the US isn't something I can wrapped my head around, being from a country where healthcare is universal.

Easy to figure out. It's run for profit. Not for the benefit of the people.

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

Just a thought, Vet practices should combine with medical centres. Share resources and either side can help during emergency overload

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yes, because zoonotic diseases in close proximity to humans would never present any risk.

If I recall correctly, Turkey is pretty good about taking care of their street cats. Someone correct me if I’m wrong?

6 years ago | Likes 171 Dislikes 1

They make pretty good street tacos too.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

This is true. The municipality of Istanbul even fed them. Because of the corona measures they're weren't getting enough food.

Thank you ??

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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.

6 years ago | Likes 29 Dislikes 0

My favorite thing about Turkey is how much they care about street animal. More like community pets, really...

Seems to be an Eastern thing. They do the same in Georgia (Tbilisi).

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

6 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

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

6 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Even though it of course is a health risk to have so many animals in the streets. For some reason they are tolerated. 3

6 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

Cats are not a health risk. They keep rodents under control.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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.

Yeah thinking that a cat would come to an ER to seek treatment for its kid is just a massive case of anthropomorphization.

6 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 2

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.

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

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

You know what, sometimes that silly shit makes me smile. Let me have it.

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

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

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

stretch to think they might try the same. It doesn't require much more thought process than if(sick) seek (disinfectant smell) 2/2

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

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

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

.. that the cat was used to humans and when distressed, sought out for humans. 2/2

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Also possible - but sickness would have a scent they can recognize, so they may know. Not saying its definitely the case, but possible

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

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

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

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.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

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.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

or really perform any other fairly rudimentary task you'd expect someone who recognizes and understands what a vet is could perform? 2/2

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

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

Worst thing was, those gloves don't even fit her.

She's a cat. She expects people to take her there.
