That says it all to me (plus what Island911 said) - you left the cat in their care. The Vet's primary responsibility is to the animals in their care. Whilst you as the owner have a say in the level of treatment you can afford, the Vet will be recommending the best option for the cat. Don't know why you felt that 3 level tests would be OK when the Vet recommended 6 level ones. Pehaps they should have pushed back and said the 3 level ones were a waste of time.
Sounds like you left the cat with the Vet's for boarding - yet you tell them how to feed it. You clearly love the cat - you have spent a small fortune on it over the years.
I should declare an interest here - I'm married to a vet. We have similar animal population - 4 cats adopted over the years (1 blind, 1 deaf with dementia, 1 very old and fat and 1 stupid as a rock), but at least we don't have the same bills.
I do agree with you on the $40 case of cat food though - take it back and get it elsewhere cheaper. Animal food from Vet's is nearly always a premium price.
