Wow, what a strikingly handsome cat, DRU. Is he a particular breed?
And I hope your cat recovers quickly, luv.
My cat O.J. had a major health crisis about a month ago. It turned out that he had a jaw infection, and the little warrior never let us know he had a problem. He had to have surgery for the infection and also had six teeth pulled at the same time because they were cracking. They were all those little tiny teeth up front that are hard to check on routine exams.
He got better and was doing great, and then had a setback with another jaw infection last week. He's on antibiotics again, and we're hoping we'll knock the thing out soon so he can get back on nighttime security patrol. [Reply]

Just heard back from the vet. The infection that caused her anal gland to rupture went deeper than she noticed upon first glance. She had to remove some tissue, and also suture a half-dollar sized hole in her skin. The only funny (for me) part is that she will have to wear the "cone of shame" for about a week while she has the sutures. She also has a minor ear infection that is getting treated as well.
The vet said that she is one of the sweetest cats she's seen. She just sits there and purrs at her no matter what she does to her...lol. The bad part is that everything comes to $230. My best friend already told me "a bullet would be cheaper" and that "adopting a new cat only costs like $35". [Reply]

I'd drop $230 on my cat in a heartbeat. We gave up on Mille after about $700, but totally not because of money - doc said even with the next step we were looking at only about a 15 percent chance of survival. Made the very difficult decision to put her down. **** that guy that told you that. [Reply]
Here is my girlfriend's cat. I am not a cat person but this cat is a total badass. He pretty much acts like a dog and follows you around. He also chases deer when they come in the back yard. He is 3 years old and just loves to play. Funny enough but he also will only drink out of glasses!

Oh, although I know he's not a cat fan and that he would never dream of putting that kind of money into a cat, he knows how much I love my cat. He's at least partially kidding. [Reply]

My cat had a hyperthyroid condition
i spend 900 bucks for a radioactive iodine shot. It really seems to have worked though because the last test came back clean. i'm a sucker for animals so i probably spend more than i should. [Reply]

I spent $3000 on my dog and ended up having to put it down. [Reply]
