I think I’ve posted this pic before but couldn’t find where, so it’s here again since it includes the tractor and this is a tractor forum.

Lost our cat, only pet wife or I have ever had other than fish which don’t really count. He was fine Friday. By Monday when we took him to the after hours vet they said the could fix him temporarily for $3K but not permanently.
Our then semi-adult son rescued him from a shelter 3.5 years ago. We rescued him from our son 3 years ago. Son dumped him because the cat attacked him. Son is a salesman so of course he didn’t reveal that until a month later when he started getting a bit worried about his mom possibly being attacked. Told him that would have been nice to know but yes, the cat had attacked me once. He said he wasn’t worried about me and asked how far the cat flew. Told him I saw him coming so I backhanded him about 10’ at which point the shelves stopped him. Son said he’d gotten that backhand once and figured that would either kill the cat or stop him from attacking people. Cat wouldn’t come near me for a week, after which we became buds now that we had pecking order established.
He’s just a cat but if they’d said they could permanently fix him for $3K we wouldn’t have thought twice about writing the check.
Still haven’t decided if we’re burying him or cremating him. For now he’s in a little cardboard coffin in a spare freezer at the spare house. If we bury him, wife wants the cardboard coffin in a big, heavy gauge metal box. Once again wondering why I didn’t get the damn backhoe when I had the opportunity.
