Out of Florida comes the story of a cat born with six legs. The article says that the extra legs and some duplicate intestine need to be removed, and the family who owns the cat can’t afford it. They are seeking donations to fund the process, which is expected to cost upwards of $2500. Yes, they even have a website, “hexfoundation.org”. Really? For $3000?

Sorry, but there must be thousands of better causes to donate money to. If the family can’t afford the necessary care for this cat, or if the cat will not be entirely normal afterward, it should be euthanized. No I don’t hate cats, I just cannot see the purpose in keeping something alive that would not survive in nature or will not have a good quality of life.

On another note, since when is it proper to write numbers as “$24-hundred” or “$3-thousand?” Oh wait, its Florida.
