What a day

My cat jumped out the window. It cost me $913. I don't know how we will manage to keep the cast on, she hates it.

That is all.

Oh god Beckey. Mine sat on my head in the night. We've been away and he wasn't pleased.

Never beard of a cat jumping out of a window and coming to harm. How far down?

Mine is a white cat with blue eyes - this means she is deaf, genetically. She didn't hear a car coming and the car broke her left rear leg. $999. We took her back from the clinic today...

Sounds gorgeous! Luckily, this one has no access to a street.

Her name is Teatea - It means white :-)

She seems happy with the surgery. She went to a specialist. They had graft her bone with a part of her collar bone. And also use some metal parts.

She won't pass through TSA screenings in airports now !

I tried to put a photo, but it didn't work :-(

Pets are supposed to help with stress not cause stress. I'm glad they are still with you and Xenos.

Beckey, I'm sorry that you had a stressful day. I hope that you do manage to keep her cast on.

I'm afraid I'm going to wake up in the a.m. and find the cast in tatters all over the floor. She keeps trying to eat the thing!

So sorry to hear this! They are worth the money, though, don't you think?

Cats worth the money? NO

I think your cat has some issues that need to be discussed with her, like free access to the outside, fresh air etc maybe a pet door and a cat run with a nice sand box in the corner and a sunny spot to sleep. A bit of wire fence hidden behind the patio furniture but careful they can squeeze through a very small hole. The last cat we had was a "gift" It had already been declawed and neutered and pampered and was a fat orange striped male and a bit silly. The Siamese male across the road would beat it up causing the vet to send another bill for $ 300 to $500 . As soon as he got home from the vets and was feeling better he would go back across the road, peeing on the bushes in front of the Siamese house which infuriated the Siamese , then our cat would sit on top of a car (the Siamese could not leave the ground) and taunted it. This went on for many years, until the Siamese died of a brain toumer then our cat looked for it every day until after a while the smell of the other was gone.

She sits on a perch outside the window and locks eyes with a black cat that plays in the roof garden of a building below us (about a 15-foot drop). The stare-down got heated and -- well, you know what happened next.
