It only cost the cat his reproductive organs to attain this. His only claim to financial fame was selling his balls to the town veterinarian. Now he owns at least two humans that wait on him, hand and foot.
The pool cleaning device is usually in the shallow end in the mornings. It has a tube that leads down from the wall. The mouse might have stood a chance if it was able to climb that tube.
I saw an ad for that! I was going to apply, but it mentioned qualifying based on your credit score. Mine has been awful since losing my home and having it sold in short sale.
Really? Please tell me where you live that offers lower cost veterinary care. Also, is it the same level of care? I do live in America. I love living in America. Life could be a lot worse. I can’t even imagine what animal health care is available in third world countries when they can’t even afford to give proper health care to their human occupants.
Oh, I didn’t see the Western Europe part. I visited Ecuador around 2021, and saw a lot of stray cats on the streets. I don’t know if Ecuador is still considered third world, but it was truly heartbreaking to see all the strays foraging for food on the street. Yes, Western Europe is probably doing well, my apologies.
I have been cleaning his wounds. He is really good about it. He doesn’t fight me, but I can tell it hurts him to have them cleaned.
I am so close to meeting the quote on the vet’s form. If it is met today, I can take him to the 24 hour vet today, and not make him wait until after I am done with work tomorrow. The local vet will be cheaper, but if I take time off to take him to the vet in the morning, I will be fired. I missed days this month when I was diagnosed with a positive TB test. The doctor later cleared me with a chest x-ray, so I don’t actually have TB, but I missed so many days that my employer warned me. If I miss any more time at work, I’ll be fired. The bad news is, the local vet closes at 4PM, and that is right before I am released from work. The best thing that could happen would be meeting the goal today, and taking him back to that 24 hour vet, even though it is expensive. I know it looks bad, but they could have this done today, and he wouldn’t be suffering.
We do have a local shelter, but I don’t think they offer veterinary services. Our local shelters were also featured in the news paper recently for being so underfunded, that they are turning away new stray animals. One of our shelters even closed due to lack of funding. They had to hold a local adoption drive to clear their cages, after announcing they were turning away strays. I doubt they could help.
That’s sad, because you know if they neutered the stray males, there wouldn’t be so many injured cats from cat fights. Pictures from Turkey make it look like stray cats are fine in communities like those, and maybe they are in some places, but whenever there are stray males in groups, they’re going to fight if they aren’t neutered. Our cat was neutered and something attacked him. I don’t even have an explanation for that, except that some stray, or something found its way into our neighborhood.
I understand what you mean. I always feel guilty having an animal neutered, or spayed, but when it’s your animal and you can’t afford to have them litter, it’s another story. I once adopted a cat that as already pregnant with a litter of kittens that died in utero. I told the vet to just spay her after that. My fiancé, at the time, felt so bad that he went out to a rescue and bought a kitten to keep her company while we both worked during the day. It probably didn’t make it up to her entirely. I get that.
I almost thought it was a wasps' nest. I'm glad I finally met its resident. ( lemmy.world )
Anybody need a Bambi? I can get you a Bambi. ( imgur.com )
Baby deer caught in my backyard. Yes, she escaped safely & reunited with mom a few minutes after they were taken.
I'm not the aww here; the fact the cat let a four year old do this, shows he deserves more than an "aww". ( lemmy.world )
Nothing comes between one of my dogs and food; not even her sister's head being in the way. ( lemmy.world )
They do get along very well.
