honestly, I don't care. I need help
I have a cat named Minnie. She's almost a year old and we've had her since this september. She's an indoor cat, and the only cat we have.
My problem is that I think she has a UTI, but I can't take her to the vet. She drinks a lot of water but doesn't pee very often, and when she does, its always outside her litter box, and in little dribbles. She can't meow or vocalize her pain (my sister thinks its because her vocal cords are messed up) , but she always books it right after she pees. She does poop in her litterbox though. All day, she sleeps, more than usual, but she does play and eat like normal. She's also lost 3 whiskers this month, but idk if that is connected to anything.
My mom refuses to take Minnie to the vet because she's convinced Minnie is just being spoiled, and every time I present her with the facts, she shouts at me for making a big deal out of nothing. She just "disiplines" my cat by sticking her nose in her pee, hitting her (not hard, but still), and putting her in the litter box. Also, her paychecks haven't been good lately, and I don't think my dad will help me out because he never wants anything to do with taking care of the cat, he just wants to play with her and that's it.
I'm willing to give up all the money I have if it means I get to take my cat to the vet. I'm even trying to find a job, on top of doing an IB course in school, but my parents won't budge. They can't afford it even if I do convince them. I won't ever be able to forgive myself if my cat dies because of this. Please help me
