Boy, is my face red.

I just found out that our "kitten" Maya (age 2) is really a chinchilla.  We
had taken her to the vet when we noticed she wasn't getting nearly as large as
the other cats.  The vet informs us that she's reached normal full growth for
a chinchilla; we thought she was a cat.  We're thinking we can sue the Humane
Society, but I'm not sure.  Can anyone give advice?  Is this a common problem?

(She gets along with the "real" cats just fine; they don't try to eat her or
anything.)
