Very cool!

Cat ‘A California cat named Vanilla Bean with a congenital heart defect got a rare chance at another life.
A team of doctors who usually treat humans came together with a veterinarian to operate on the 1-year-old Burmese cat. Blood was pooling in Vanilla Bean’s heart, causing a chamber to grow larger. The defect is also found in children.
Untreated, it would lead to congestive heart failure…’

    My money is on the cat. Most humans don’t deserve it.

      Aaawwwwww…….Mara, most of those kids who spend lots of time in hospitals, for either congenital abnormalities or acquired diseases, are amazing. We all could learn a lesson from them. Their parents OTOH…….http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_negative.gif

        Completely agree, mawm … about the children, at least (I’ve not seen the parents misbehaving during my visits).

        One of Miss Nine’s little besties is currently in the Starship Children’s Hospital undergoing chemo for leukemia. That has to be one of the more heart-breaking places I’ve ever been – children ranging from 1 through 16 years old, from all different backgrounds, who’ve done absolutely nothing wrong except draw a losing number in life’s lottery. The courage and spirit those little people show every single day is wonderfully inspiring, and they all seem to just get on with fighting the battle.
