Cats....

Holy crap, cats are an expensive proposition.  Our male tabby, Piper, decided that peeing was optional, and got all blocked up.  So what do they do?  They catheterize him, clear his system and flush his body with fluids.  Do you know how hard it is to catheterize a cat?  Do you know how expensive it is to catheterize a cat?  Then to keep him in medical care at a vet hospital?  We do...

It's a good thing we love our pets, because between the gourmet pet store foods, treats, fancy colors, litter that keeps the smell down they are expensive.  Though I suppose it's really only preparing us for kids.

They are the two sets of glowing eyes...
Fortunately there is stuff called pet insurance (or as I normally refer to it, vet insurance) which we will happily subscribe to now.  Good thing we really love our pets, even the cats.

I really do hope this is a not a recent picture! It's been cold in C, but not cold enough for the white stuff surely! And is that Jekyll and Hyde or Tweedle Dee and Dweedle Dum in the window?
