Answers:

Forget it. I've been around cats for 36 years.

Your cat quit eating and drinking because that's what cats do when it's time to die.

Your cat will likely not last another 18-24 hours, based on what you have told me.

She appears to have suffered a stroke--I know, because I've had this happen. She may also have eaten a poisoned rat--I've also had this happen.

If you took your cat to the vet, he would just put her to sleep.

CALL THE VET ANYWAY, EXPLAIN THE SITUATION AND BEG FOR A REPRIEVE ON SOME OF THE PRICE OR IF YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH, GET A JOB AND TELL YOUR PARENTS YOU'LL PAY THEM BACK IF THEY COULD JUST PUT IT ON A CREDIT CARD.

Put her to sleep and get a new one; it's better than having her live in pain.

honey, i'm so sorry about your situation..one of the answers has already been suggested, make a deal with your folks.good luck, sharon t.

Well, I think a life (even if it's an animal) is way more important than a bill. Just explain that to your parents and ask them if you were dying if they would take you to the hospital if the prices were really high. Good luck with your cat. I hope she is ok. :(

oh well I'm 12 too and have 2 cats and both are near and dear to me.but my older cat seems to be comin to the end of the line. all u can do is give her plenty of love and attention and then if at all possible take the smallest amount of pain killer or even Tylenol and if ur someone u know is diabetic or needs to give themself a shot then i recommend the capsules that break so easily and that should help her then u care fully pour a little pit of the Tylenol in water and suck it into the syringe and inject it to her and that will help take away the pain

if her breathing is wheze (whoever u spell it) she might have bronchitus( howeer u spell dat too)

Sweetie, Even though the vet may be higher on weekends, I agree you should call and explain the situation. If she is walking funny, that is certainly not a good sign - it indicates some kind of neurological damage. The fact that she is not eating or drinking is serious too.
