How much is reasonable

[happygardening]

My cat has just been attacked by my neighbours dog in her garden, neither the dog or cat are insured.
It's in a local vet but very ill they're talking about possibly transferring it to a university vet hospital, therefore running up a massive bill. The dogs owner is devastated and being really nice and has offered to pay for it.
If it was my dog I wouldn't want to pay out thousands what do others think is a reasonable amount to ask the dogs owner to pay out.
If the bill signifantly exceeded what we ask them to pay I would have to have it put down as I don't have the odd thousand pounds to spend on vet bills.

Sorry for your loss OP.

It sounds like both you and the neighbours are both very decent people. Despite the fact the neighbour isnt obligated to offer anything they obviously felt awful and understood the distress you would be feeling.

Awww Op I'm so sorry. What a rotten occurence.

Sorry to hear of your loss OP.

Why do some people feel the need to make pointless spiteful comments that are designed to hurt and wound someone who is already upset.

I despair sometimes at some people's nastiness.

Aw your cat sounded lovely, as do your neighbours op.
((Hugs))

If you're going to let your cat roam around other animals territories, then it's your responsibility to get it insured or pay for the inevitable consequences yourself.

I don't think anyone lets cats do anything, they are a law unto themselves!

So sad this has happened OP!

stop bleating on about nastiness. OP posted in aibu, and asked a question. People answered. No-one was mean, don't be so childish. It's not mean to tell pet owners they should have pet insurance, they should.

Sorry you're upset OP.
