The Last Meow Analysis

372 Words1 Page

The Last Meow Essay The Article, “The Last Meow” written by Burkhard Bilger is about a cat named Lady that is dangerously sick. Her owners Shawn and Karen Levering spend thousands of dollars to put her through surgery. Bilger reminds us that many Americans spend $19 billion dollars on veterinary care a year for their pet’s. Including pet food and other products added up to $47 billion dollars a year. I agree that people spend too much on their pet’s, because of my experience of spending almost $200 dollars on my guinea pig just to check his ears confirms it. I agree with Bilger’s statement about people spending to much money on their pet’s, because Shawn and Karen Levering spent over $15 thousand dollars for Ladys kidney

    In 2016, the American Pet Products Association found that pet owners are expected to spend 62.75 billion dollars on their pets. This amount is about 4% higher than the amount from 2015 which was 60.28 billion dollars. It’s sad that people spend this much money on their pets, but what’s even worse is that pets don’t have a say in their owners decisions. If a pet is suffering they probably don’t want to live anymore but their owners keep pushing them by paying whatever amount is necessary to keep them alive. In “the Last Meow”, Billger mentions that a German countess left her 80 million dollar estate to her dog Gunther. Instead of doing this she could have donated it to a better

She guesses again, and it lands on “kin”, who is a family member. She is notified by the dog of their acknowledgment that mourning will not be of benefit as she will not come back to life.
