he's a little crazy to spend all that money on a cat that's nearly 12 years old. how do you explain that to them? >> well, i would tell them to look at their child or their mother, and ask themselves the same question. >> reporter: if you're wondering where they get the healthy kidney, well, oki's came from cherry garcia who was found in a shelter. that may sound cruel, but cherry probably would have been euthanized and part of the deal is the owner of the cat that receives a kidney must adopt the cat that donates it. >> this little kitten has given oki the gift of life. we owe him thanks for that. >> reporter: following the surgery, both oki and cherry are doing well and slowly adjusting to the fact that like it or not, they're in this together. chip reid, cbs news, philadelphia. >> rose: and that is the cbs evening news. i'll see you tomorrow on "cbs this morning." good night.
