What does money buy?

Money buys time. A few more months, perhaps four, if God allows. We took Beau Teak in to the Vet for another recheck this afternoon. Hubby went with me this time.
The bottom line: Beau has congestive heart failure. He is a Siamese cat.
Ten years ago my darling Samyot developed cancer. I bade him farewell. I then heard that a Siamese sat in our local shelter. I drove over there and found Beau Teak sitting in a dark cage. Fed and watered and looked after but no natural light. He had been there for 10 days. I told him I would free him. He put his Siamese arm through the wire cage, trying hard to get to me. The Shelter had him neutered and I took him home.
Today the Vet said she would do a centesis tap every month- that means she would use a syringe to remove fluid from Beau's chest cavity. That would help his heart to beat easier and he would breathe easier. Plus meds that I would force on him every morning. Hubby and I talked it over. We will give it a try for the next four months. The Vet said she would not charge for the X Rays and she would not charge for a check up. Just the Tap.
Right this moment Beau Teak is sitting on my hubby's lap, the two having a quiet moment of peace. I'm grateful we can buy Beau Teak a little time.

Thanks @DaddyEvil Beau is such a touchy feely guy. He craves human closeness.

This made me tear up. I hope Beau Teak kitty can live comfortably while he's still with you.

Sorry to hear. Sending prayers and thoughts. At least with this treat, Beau will feel bit easier and less painful to live. Take care
