My cat went missing for 3 weeks just after Croatia. She's an indoor cat, escaped through my bros kitchen window. Turned up at a neighbours when I was in Cyprus, came back and picked her up from the vets. She had to have an op... £1066!
That's mean. You big meanie. I'm going to tame it, get its trust, then starve it for as long as possible, then put it in a special device that attaches to your face with a sliding door that opens and lets it loose on yer fizzog
****! What op was it, the old snip snip to stop it roaming? My one that died had problems with its thyroid when it got older so forking out every month for the medicine and blood tests to control that wasn't cheap. Then there's the behavioural changes in the cat... more vocal, gets hungry all the time and whines for food, restless and easily disturbed... a ****ing psychological minefield. Poor thing, got hit by a car when it was young so rarely went very far and had a bit of a limp but liked being outdoors mousing, jumping after insects and snoozing in the sun.
Lads I just want to say.... Animal cruelty is wrong but I do not agree with paying thatvm for an animal/vet That's just me so carry on
If you choose to own an animal as a pet you have an ethical duty to make sure that it is healthy and that means paying for treatments at the vets when necessary. Vets are horrendously expensive and probably charge over the odds but that's the deal. Too many buy animals either not aware of the full responsibility of owning them or just not caring. If you deny an animal treatment that could heal it then that's a form of cruelty itself, it does happen and it's on those owners who do it, that expense should be foreseen when the decision is made to own whatever animal it is. If you're on a low income get a goldfish or a hamster, not an expensive animal to keep and have treated like a big dog.
Had to have the op before or after you fetched her from the vets? Or in other words, did you have a choice about the op?
Which is fair but.... 1066 = put the animal down. oh and sex change ops for cats are not on. why did you get your cat changed into a female?
Vets are expensive and go with owning an animal. Our mini zoo has cost a fortune over the years as my three kids have all had pets. We are now down to 2 rabbits, a tailless Chinchilla (serious fight cost it its tail), 20 tropical fish and a goldfish. We have had some disastrous experiences with pets over the years. Once bought a Zebra finch and put him in with the existing Zebra finches and other finches. Came down the next morning and he had killed the other finches and was sitting proudly on a perch as if to say "look how hard I am"
Someone at work had to pay out over two grand on their dog earlier this year. It has Cruciate Disease one one of its rear legs. Her daughter (adult) wouldn't let he consider having him put down so she got into debt to pay the vets bill (not insured). Obviously, she has since looked into insurance (especially since she has two more dogs and a cat too. One of the dogs as swallowed a stone about four times at £300+ a time) but they won't cover existing issues. Cruciate Disease is quite common and there is a 50% chance that the second rear leg will got he same way in time too
bit random i know, but has anyone tried those raccoon crisps yet? if so what flavour would you compare them to? cheers lol
I just saw zebra first of all and got very confused.... Still not sure what a zebra finch is? The perch suggests a bird?
Going to put that food out for the stray later today, didn't see it last night. It jumps on the fence out the back so I might pop it on there Haven't seen them raccoon flavour ones, do people eat raccoons?
Part of a balanced redneck diet. Theres a cat who lives at the local tescos. Lives there and has done for weeks. Its genuinely living the high life. Getsbfed about 20 timea a day i bet
