Ahhhh, the cat story..... If I wasn't so tired.....
Once upon a time, in a land far far away, a handsome prince (me) had a cat. This cat was an excellent mouser, but just a stray stay outside cat. The cat came home one day with it's front leg mostly torn off by a mole trap from the neighboring kingdom. The handsome prince was all set to end it's misery when the prince's oldest daughter saw it, so much for a cheap fix. So to end it's torment, the hansome prince's daughter's, not the cat's, he agreed to take it, the cat not the daughter, to the vet for it's final visit. When they got there, the very helpful vet, in full view of the prince's daughter said "oh, no need to put it down, we can fix it"! Yippy said the prince, for how many gold coins of the realm? 50 pieces of silver says the vet! Well, ok says the prince, for that price a happy daughter is worth it. So some stitches, some bandages, some medicine, and the handsome prince and his merry daughter take the cat home, less the 50 pieces of silver of course. But the next day all is not well in the kingdom. The cat is now a very ill cat, so the handsome prince tells the very sad daughter the the cat must take it's final trip to the vet, and off they go. At the vets however, there is yet another difference of opinion on the condition of the cat. Once again, IN FULL VIEW OF THE HANDSOME PRINCE'S DAUGHTER, the vet says, "no need to put this cat down, we'll remove the leg and all will be well in the kingdom! How much says the handsome prince? 150 pieces of silver, but that includes the overnight stay to make sure all is well". The handsome princes daughter is histerical and begging the prince "daddy PALEEEEEEEZ don't kill the pretty kity"! Ok, "for the good of the kingdom" says the prince. The next day the pretty kitty comes home to the kingdom and all is well. The next day however, things are once again bad in the kingdom. The pretty kitty is now laying in it's bed, but is stiff as a board, we're talking grab it by the tail and use it to flip the royal pancakes stiff as a board. So reluctantly the handsome prince once again informs the beautiful princess the the pretty kitty must take it's last trip to the vet. The vet, altho sympathetic to the princes plight, and ever shrinking stack of pieces of silver, choses once again to say "this is a very sick kitty, but I think I can save it. No says the prince, there is no more silver in the castle's dungeon, we must end the poor animal's suffering (the prince's, well, and the pretty kitty's). The very helpfull vet says "well, its such an interesting case I'll treat the cat at no cost to the kingdom just to see if I can save it". Ok says the prince, if you will do it without further depleting the kingdom's gold reserves. So for 3 days the vet administers to the needs of the pretty kitty, then sends the kitty home with the handsome prince and his princess. For more than a week the princess and the royal queen administer iv drugs to the pretty kitty, all the while the kitty remains perfectly stiff with no movement other than the eyes. After about a week the first movement is seen. After 10 days the pretty kitty is moving about the kingdom by pulling itself with it's one remaining front leg. after about 3 weeks or so, all is once again well in the kingdom. The cat is now even a favorite of the handsome prince. All of the kingdom's subjects enjoy watching the pretty kitty deal with the missing front leg. When trying to burry it's leavings the shoulder of the missing leg goes like crazy while the pretty kitty looks on in amazment that the droppings are not being covered. This is a source of great entertainmemt for the kingdom's subjects, but doom is on the horizon. One day the handsome prince comes home to find a letter in the royal mail from the vet. Seems in her excitement over saving the kingdom's pretty kitty she forgot her commitment to do the rescue for free, and now wants 1500 pieces of silver. The handsome prince is angry and threatens to have the vet drawn and quartered. The vet, realizing her error, relents on the bill. However, from that day forward the pretty kitty is never seen in the kingdom again. To this day noone knows what happened to the pretty kitty. No, the prince did not have the pretty kitty beheaded secretly.
And that is the story of the prince and the kitty!
