I like it. The two of them could make a good living in the kid's party
business - "The Crippled Dad & His Crippled Cat", or whatever. Yes. They
could do impersonations of Long John Silver (the Dad) with the cat sitting
on his shoulder playing the part of the parrot ("Ha-haaarrr! Pieces of
eight! Shiver me timbers", etc etc etc).

I agree wholeheartedly with the vet's office. If it were *my* office, I'd
instruct the staff to tell cat-owners to put the little bastards down if
they can't pay up. If they taped it on video, mind you, I'd pay them.

Ah. Good. Very good. These people are talking my kind of language.
Personally, I'd suggest something a bit more "fun", even though a hammer in
the head is good. Like chopping its legs off, or swinging it round the room
by the tail and banging its head against the furniture. You've simply got to
use your imagination.

There's always the 'Telephone Emergency Hotline' which people can use who
find it very difficult to use telephones (especially in dialling numbers) -
just call 07922-5585-4487 for details. If you're held in a queue, I find
time passes more quickly if you stick the occasional pin in your carefully
wrapped-up 'n' helpless cat.

I wouldn't bother, because if you do, people would only laugh once they
heard the funny story.
