Raining cats and dogs, but not money

We took all 3 of our cats to the vets yesterday for summary poking, prodding and shots. If you think a cat is incapable of facial expression, just watch one while a vet is grabbing at the former home of their genitals.

Anyway $528 later almost all is fine (our already slim Calico is down a few pounds from a year ago, which is cause for concern).

I love these animals like family, but MAN vets ain’t cheap. The last time we were in they discovered one of our cats had chipped a tooth and offered to remove it – for $800. I wouldn’t pay $800 to have MY OWN tooth removed, it’s neither life-threatening nor discomforting.

At any rate we have a great vet, she truly loves animals, but the costs make a great case for pet health insurance.
