AIBU to think this is possibly a little bit cheeky...

[Weathergames]

I received an email from a friend asking me to donate to a fund raising page.

My friend is in her 40s has her own house, no children, good job.

She is fund raising for vets bills for her elderly cat who has developed diabetes. It's a Persian cat and has developed lots of health problems which can be controlled but the ongoing medication is getting too expensive for her to afford.

I get that the animal is precious to her esp as she has no kids (I have a cat but we also have a large family and a mortgage/normal life expenses).

AIBU to have felt a bit when I received this this morning - and to politely ignore?

Is it ok to ask your mates to fund your vets bills?

I would just ignore it. I can see though that if she is desperate, and genuinely can't afford the vet bills, she might think it worth a try.

Has she got lots of friends whose kids have been raising money for educational trips to Peru, Iceland, Sahara and she's got sick of it and decided to tap them for some money for her cat?

cheek!

YANBU, unless she has sold everything she has to pay for her precious cat and is living on the breadline, don't do it!

I don't think thats a little bit cheeky I think its massively taking the piss! No way would I expect people to pay for my pets.

Def ignore, what a cheek!
