Analysis Of The Last Meow

The Bilger Story
How far of an proportion would you go to care for your pet? In the story " The Last Meow" by Burkhard Bilger ( established on September 8, of 2003) their was a cat named Lady who needed a transplant, not only did she need a transplant, she already had no teeth and was blind. I personally think that Lady's owners shouldn't go through with her procedure. I mean she already has no teeth and can't see, so what's the point?
Moreover, from my point of view, I myself would have put my animal to sleep, no matter how much I loved that pet. Any procedures or observations over $100, i wouldn't pay for. I mean not everyone live forever, everyone has to die at some point. In the Story the owners Karen and Shawn have to pay a fee of

$15,000 for ladies procedure. Not only that, but they're hardly scraping by, by making a profit of $27,000 a year. If they go forward with Lady's procedure, they would only be left with $12,000 for the whole year, plus they would have to make payments on Lady's proscription, rent, food, etc.
Additionally, another reason is that they could of just bought a whole new pet and made better memories. Like why waste $15,000 on a pet that can't see nor has any teeth (it just doesn't make any sense). To me $15,000 can stretch a long way. They can buy many new things with that money. For example, in the story Karen is still suffering from her car accident injuries and still needs to pay for her medications. Due to her injuries she har to retire from her teaching job.
According to others, they may disagree with what I think they should do with Lady. Other may think that, that animal has been in their life for as long as they can remember. Also that putting their pet to sleep would be know where in their mind to talk about. Some humans may even acknowledge their pet as their child, so putting their pet to sleep would be like killing or giving up on their child. Plus research does state that having a pet will reduce blood pressure.
Nevertheless, if you're like me, you would do the same and not waste your money ($15,000 at that) on a pet that already has no teeth and can't see. Not only that, but is going to eventually die. Like why do that, when you could pay for something more valuable that you can have forever. But if you're like others and would rather pay for your pet's procedure because of those reasons listed above good for you.
