That is really nice.... she is good too!

You know we've always had cats... but lately it is getting to be monsterously expensive for vet care.

When Oreo passes, we will only keep Weezie. I was tempted to get another kitten, but with the thousands we have spent on Oreo-- without including the proposed surgery for $5000 which I declined--- we just can't do it.

I think people who have pets now should put away a small bit of cash each week-- the cost of a Starbucks even--- in an acct reserved for that pet's eventual medical care.
Sort of like "pet social security"....

Typical surgery is $60 a MINUTE. Not counting the pain meds, anesthetic, blood work, Xrays, and all the rest! It takes your breath away!

I wonder if your son's artist friend has thought to approach the Vet for providing some animal art for the clinic? Her colorful work applied to cats/dogs would be wonderful in that setting.
