kat: Were you married to MY husband??? He would not have done a thing about it. He would have brought her home and let me deal with it too. UGH! My daughter and I were away for a week one time. When we got back we noticed that her cat was lying in the bushes, not coming in when she was called. Then we noticed she appeared injured. He had noticed it a few days earlier - thought she might have got hit by a car!!!! Ash and I took her straight to the vet. Her hip was displaced. As it had been too long - it had to be broken to be reset - a thousand dollar surgery. Of course the vet said we might want to put her down. She was only 4! And Ashley's baby. So we went ahead with the surgery. If Dickhead had done something about it - she would have not had to suffer. She did end up ok but it was horrible. And that was a full year before he left.
