DEAR ABBY: My gentleman friend and I are senior citizens who live together. We have acquired a dog and cat. I pay for the cat's food, vaccinations and litter. He pays for the dog's food and vaccinations.
Last week my boyfriend accidentally slammed the door on the cat's tail. Part of it had to be amputated, and the bill for surgery, drugs, cone, etc. came close to $400. Neither of us is hurting financially. Who do you think should foot this bill? -- MOTHER OF FUR BABIES
DEAR MOTHER: That poor kitty! I not only think your "gentleman" friend should foot the bill, I think he should have volunteered to do it. If he didn't, shame on him.
