This just occurred to me. If someones cat is vomiting, not acting it's old self or not passing a hairball then take the pet you love to the vet please! And don't waste time!

When a animal begins to show signs of distress do the right thing and get the boy or girl to the vet and maybe this will save yourself the grief from loosing a loving pet.

I speak this from experience if our boys and girls could talk they would say the same thing but being they our animals they act strange, wierd when they are in distress. This is their way of speaking to us in hopes we will respond the right way.

I just wish I would have taken a male cat of mine to the vet when he started acting strange. I just passed it off as a hairball or something and by the time I got him to the vet he died during the treatment from an infection that if caught early could have been treated and could have saved his life.

Just thinking thats all not to offend anyone.

I agree. Animals trust you as owner, and that means prompt medical care in many situations. Finances often delay the action to seek medical care, I surely understand that, but if it means sacrificing on my part, I do it in a heartbeat. Actually, my pets are first, then I go ahead and get my teeth cleaned, etc! Saving, lessening cigarettes, luxuries, etc. Where there's a will, there's a way. I too have been on welfare, and it all begins with not taking on too big a load more than one can juggle, in a hard situation. There is no perfect timing on anything in life, that's fer sure. I've pinched pennies. But to NOT seek help at all, to just wait, when obvious symptoms are present, carries with it the unfortunate message to an animal that has loved, that it was perhaps an unfortunate life. Please don't delay. God bless.
