£10,000 Pet Voices - Operation Gives Cat's Meow Back [Edit]




£10,000 Pet Voices - Operation Gives Cat's Meow Back 473 Views - Click for Larger Image

A British pet owner spent £10,000 on an operation to give her cat, Cadbury, back its meow which it lost after suffering a rare throat condition.

Vets diagnosed the cat with a paralyzed larynx which left him unable to make a sound. Rather than live with a mute moggie, the cat’s owner, Jean Kelly, forked out £10,000 to give Cadbury two operations, a stay-in intensive care, six days in an oxygen tent, and four months worth of nursing care.

The 13-year-old cat is now back to his meowing former self.

Jean’s insurance company paid £6,000 towards the costs, and she contributed the remaining £4,000 herself.

Jean says there was never any doubt as to whether to have the operation, even though it meant putting her planned holiday to Namibia on hold.

Americans alone spend over $45 billion a year on pets, so it seemed like 'the' industry to be in. With the credit crunch finally hitting home for people, I just can't imagine that type of spending will continue. If I had a pet business, I'd be thinking about selling...
