My reaction to the first part of the article made me feel sad because of how they describe the cat. I cant imagine how much pain the cat is in, and the owner for having to deal with the suffering of his cat. In the first few paragraphs of the article it shows the owners compassion for the cat because he has to take him to the city to try to help the cat. On top of all that he is a middle class man having to deal with the payments in exchange for the health of Lady but its all worth it because he loves his wife.
