i have an Ibanez RG Series guitar my ex left at my house its been over a year and half so i think its bout time to get rid of it also i need help. My 4 year old male cat Chaos got really sick and almost dies because of urinary tract infection the vet had to do emergency treatment well Chaos has to be on a special diet which would be ok as far as affording it but i also have 2 other cats and my mom has one i cannot afford the urinary tract food for all of them and unfortunately my mom does not help as far as keeping the other cats food away from Chaos sowhat i need is some money tobuy food they all can eat and be left out all of the time and then im going to just buy canned food ( which is what they say is better than dry food for him anyways) for CHaos and hope that he"ll eat as little as possible of the dry food thats left out. i love him the vet gave me a great price for his treatment and was wonderful with helping me to afford just keeping him alive id hate for something to happen just because noone could help me make sure he dont eat the other food. as far as te guitar goes i know nothing else about it it does not have a plate thing on the back so pawn shopp said they wouldnt take it its black and has six strings if that matters also has a case for it please help not asking for much just some cash to get Chaos started on a life saving diet and i can take apicture if needed not 100 percent sure im computer dumb so ill work on getting on takin and ready to send if anyone is interested please help thanks

poor kitty and his urinary tract infection

I think that what this message says about our education system is way sadder than any sick cat.

There are some stupidly long sentences in that monster of a paragraph.

That being said, I hope that the story is made up and they are just trying to get "sympathy votes."

The pic of the cat is so funny. So I've noticed alot of bass players have cats. Anyone else notice this too?

And I wish the best of luck to selling your guitar and your cat and the urinary tract infection.

We have cats in our house. It's so much fun waiting for them to come up and try to spray the bass cabinet and then plucking a high G string with the amp on full volume.
Pigs may not fly but cats do.

Yep

We are the ones that avoid buying black carpet covered cabs. (line-x 4 me)

BTW a couple years back my Cat had a urinary infection and
Food & medice alone was about $100.
It really sucks for the kitty and its terrible having to force the medice dropper down the cats throat.
Get well soon Chaos

Ha, thats exactly what i do! Except i turn the gain up to ten also. then strum all four strings as hard as i can. man does he get scared!

he deserves it though, cuz he bites a lot.

I've three cats. And it's very sad to see someone in that situation. But it's kind of good to know at least his cat is well taken care of. If I had the money I'd likely donate some to the guy so he could keep his guitar and help get his cat healthy again.
