Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : Long story short, my mom's 16-year-old cat is very ill and needs to go to an animal hospital an hour away from where I live, 2 hours away from where my mother lives. My mother has asked me to meet her halfway to take her cat the rest of the way because she's scared to drive that far of a distance in her car.

I'm fine with doing that, but I'm concerned because it's possible that the appointment for her cat might overlap with my boyfriend's father's hernia surgery. I already agreed to be there a week ago before the cat got sick, but now I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. 

On the one hand, my boyfriend AND his mother will be there with his father. On the other hand, my boyfriend has already helped with my mother's vet bills and transportation to other hospitals, and I feel like being there for him through this is the LEAST I can do.

I really need an outside opinion on how to handle this. My mom is SUPER close to this cat and would be devastated if something were to happen to him.
