Gutted for you, I'd before stick in on a credit card and worry about it later.

We had a cat called murphy we rescued from a kitten, the woman was feeding him tuna in oil from when he was born so to say he was very poorly and had the shits was an understatement. We spent a fortune at the vets putting him right.

A few months later he came in one day with a limp, took him to the vets and he'd either been kicked of tapped by a car as the ball socket of his back leg had snapped off his leg.

Got that fixed after keeping him in a giant cage in the living room for 2 months and he coped very well and finaly got him running about again.

Just before christmas last year one of the lads from the pub knocked at the door and said my cats lying on the path down the street and he has been for a while, I ran out the door and there he was 100 metres from my front door I picked him up but he was a gonna, still warm.

He'd been hit by a car, he looked fine but he'd obviously had internal injuries.

I know everyone says it but he was truely the friendliest cat you could ever meet, everyone in the village knew him and he could always be found across the road climbing trees. We ended up spending probably around 4k in all which we couldn't afford but I'd do it again now just to know he'd had a good life.

:-( RIP Murphy
