Sorry for the loss Mark. I know my cats are my children, more than a few times my wife would take them to the vets, most times minor but some times were serious, and I never asked her to see the bill.
On another tangent, the Amazon culture really spoiled a lot of us. And social media. Many people want something the next guy has, right away, without knowing what that guy went through to get it. Just like that one time I DM Nate out of the blue on insta asking to trade my kidney for some steel, not expecting and answer, but he did reply and the rest was history. And I still have both kidneys..
