I posted a while ago about my cat costing me $450 to have her teeth "seen to" . Here is that cat. Fat cow that she is an' all...wouldn't even smile for the camera...

The light was low..and I purposely turned the flash off...which explains some of the fuzzy bits...

$450? That's nothing. I fought my (now ex) husband to spend $1500 of my own money to fix his cat, only to have him up and leave (the husband, not the cat, thank fuck) a couple of years later. The cat and I are very happy without him :D

After my cat got really sick whilst he was a kitten and forked out a serious few hundy on the dickhead, I got pet insurance, it's only $18 a month and is almost full cover. Coincidentally he hasn't been sick since, but being the dipshit that he is, he's bound to fall out of that cherry blossom tree trying to get waxeyes sooner or later (he's about twice the size of a normal cat and plays on twigs that shouldn't even cope with birds, let alone cats!)

He's worth it though, how can you say no to this?

Dead right! One of the four cats here is VERY crook at the moment... going to cost a bundle... but that's the responsibility you take on with a pet.

Lucky bugger,least yours has eyes,mine has windows to hell.:weep:

Ohhh double snap....my other cat has windows to hell.....and she uses them sleeping in my jacket

Ohhh, and tripple snap...when I got them, they were free, but quickly mounted up over $1k in injections and other medical bills.

I still like em though

That pet insurance sounds like a good idea. My last boss spent summat like $5k on his cat when it got sick.
It died anyway, so he may as well have just made it into slippers and saved the money....

Oh - and a girl here at work paid over $5000 to bring her cat to UnZud from wherever it was she lived before. :rolleyes:

We have spent thousands on the wifes cats, Horrible damn rodents.

Not only did we have to put them in some "holy shit,thats expensive" cat motels for some extended stays while we lived in Aussie, But we (meaning I) paid big dollars to fly them to NZ when we left.

Then factor in the weekly food, The vet bills, and the $80 groom each cat gets every couple of months, Then multiply that by 14 years. Then addd in the fact one of them has gone senile and likes to shit on our bed:mad::mad::mad:

God thing its only money, and it keeps her happy.


Well, It doesn't really keep her happy, Though I'd imagine if I put them in a pillow case and beat them against a fence post she would be quite upset.

dude, your cats are spoilt rotten! are they persians or something??

weve got 4 cats here, and only one of them was paid for from a pet shop. the other was from an ex of my brother, another was thrown over our front fence when he was a kitten and the other was a former stray that mum adopted.
they havent really cost much in bills... i think the most was getting them fixed. and as far as grooming goes, the former stray is the only that gets any and thats trimming his claws so they dont rip a hole in my shoulder.

the first photo is mums former stray. took 5 years until we could pick him up without being scratched. his name is blackie.

the second pic is my boy, joker. hes the pet shop cat and weighs a ton! a good thing really, cos he often gets into scraps with the neighbours tom, and the weight is the only thing on his side.

the third is my brothers former cat, shamen. shes the only girl and is a total nutter.

the last pic is our thrown over the fence cat, tippy. he is unofficially dads cat, since dad made the decision on his future [with us or off to the spca]

they are all lunatics, as you can likely tell.

Smooch (tabby) cost me $650 at the vet when the psycho cat that belonged to our former Brethren neighbours attacked her and broke the ball and socket joint in her hip. She's okay now, but clicks when she walks now so may need a bit of a check-up.

Shelby (tabby and white) is forever coming home with scratches on his nose from fighting god knows what.

Misty (white and smoke black - part her fur and it's white underneath) just sleeps and eats - actually, change that order around - she eats and sleeps!

Mine hops in my topbox if it's open or in the mornings, jumps on my tank when I'm ready to leave for work, he gets to the letterbox before I shove him off, sometimes I think if I don't kick him off he'd try hang on the whole way.

Mine has always been a character ever since being a kitten, he's the best cat ever :D

My boy I think takes the cake on vet bills. With:

Polycystic kidneys
Cronic conjunctivitus
Irritable bowel
Allergy to fleas

On top of all that he is a 9 kilo mean arse cat who hates everything and everyone. But I loves him!

My dumb arse moggy was a "freebie".

Mother in law found her at the back of her work, a runt that had been abandoned with runny eyes, snuffly nose, small of stature and barely enough skin to keep her ribs in. Being the loving mother in law she is, she picked it up and brought it straight to us. Yay.

Off to the vets for pills and potions and snipping of the essential girly bits to prevent more kittehs, and thankyou very much there's ~$450 gone.

Fast forward 12 months, her dripping eyes become an issue, so 3 vets visits and about $300 later, it's mostly sorted though her right eye never really recovered.

Zap ahead another couple of years, she decided to head butt a moving car.

She lost.

I got woken up by a crying kid and weeping wife to tell me that there was something wrong with Sneaky - well yeah, I call half a head of missing hair, and an eyeball hanging out of its socket pretty bad, so off to the after hours vets, some surgery (cos face it, this bloody furball OWES me!) and ka-ching we're $800 more out of pocket.

Only bonus? It was the right eye, so no more drippy eye visits!

Now the buggers are sending us mail telling us that we need to spend $400 on 'preventative' dental care.

Do we?

The hell we do!

Anyway, presenting Sneaky, the only cat I know who celebrates International Talk Like A Pirate Day every day!

Yaaaar!

My cat broke off the top of his femur when he was 6 months old. Vet said best to remove it completely (the top bit/hip) So that is Pirelli's excuse for turning into a blob. "But I've only got one hip! I don't want to exercise; I'm hungry" Luckily, I was a vet nurse then so it didn't cost much for the surgery (perk)

Some days he almost gets cast in the rocking chair and needs a few attempts to un-capsize himself- he glares at our laughter when this happens...

He is a great cat and a real character!

Mate, I can't stress pet insurance enough, I wish I had it before I had to pay hundreds and hundreds at the emergency vet and everything after that. I don't have full cover, I think it's 80% or 90% cover for $18 a month, well worth it.

Since I've posted the bastard in my other posts, obligatory Rocky photo time!

Yes Ocicats are beautiful and very interesting. Not the smoochy standard moggy they tend to be highly alert and energetic. Yours is a beauty.

My Siamese, Maestro, is a great mate. He's old now, got a mangled ear, virtually no teeth, feline AIDS, dribbles........and everyone who comes across him loves him. He has personality to burn. I'm just about to pay a $500 vet bill for blood tests and removal of his remaining teeth but he's worth it. Indeed he's lived about 4 years longer than anyone expected.

We bought a persian kitten almost two years ago and he is a fuck-load more expensive than he is cute (I love him really). In total we have spent over 8k on him thus far and this sum i'm guessing, will continue to rise.

Our lease states there are to be no pets. Oops, must have skimmed over that part. So every time the landlord comes around we have to hide Stan in his cage in the car in the garage. We got sick of lying so decided to ask the landlord if we could have a cat. After much deliberation he decided this would be okay but we would have to pay another $800 into the bond to cover any possible damage the cat may do. Bastard!

I was happier off being dishonest.

You're SOOO right on that, mate!
Spotty was a hardcase little bugger, and tough as nails, too!
She adopted me in May 2001... and I estimated she was about 4-5 months old.
I have felt a LOT of grief over her death. At least she is not suffering, and I was able to bury her properly.
