Owner was beyond grateful to the vet and the neighbour for taking care of her pet. She has reimbursed everyone, and this story has a happy ending.
Dear Lisi: My neighbour asked me to watch her cat while she went to see an aunt overseas for 10 days. The deal was that I would go into her apartment in the morning, give the cat fresh food, water and milk from her fridge, and just let the cat know that someone was caring for it. She has a special cat door to her ground floor patio, so the cat can come and go as it pleases.
Everything was fine for the first five days. On the sixth morning, the cat wasn’t home when I went to check on her. I put out fresh food and water, called her name, but had to get to work. I went straight over after work and noticed that the food hadn’t been touched and the cat was still missing. I sent my neighbour a message via WhatsApp, but she didn’t reply. The same thing happened on day seven — still no cat and no word from the neighbour.
She managed to explain the situation to the emergency vet, who have record of the cat’s owner. She agreed to give the vet some of the money in good faith that the owner would both reimburse her AND pay off the rest of her bill. I think she was lucky that they agreed. “Of course they’re upset! The parents are clearly favouring one child over the other five! If they wanted to gift the properties, they could make it even by gifting something else of comparable value or a dollar amount, but the approach should be an equal amount for each child, I would think.
