Really?

FWIW, the cat has outlived all of my healthy relationships, which makes her special in a twisted sort of way.
People do mileage runs for less..... I don't see why that's so bizarre? Especially if you care so much about this pet - with all the horror stories that go on about them. You also probably could've paid a friend or someone's college-aged kid a few hundred bucks to do it for you (or anyone in the mileage run forum!)
