J. Steven York RESISTS<p>Because she loves to drink from the similarly curved faucet in the bathroom next door, I just installed this new cat fountain for Notty cat. So far she has sniffed it, but is mostly indifferent. She is a cat, after all. Hopefully she'll warm up to it. If not, I'll try removing the spigot, which should result in a bubbling spring effect she may find more acceptable. I can always reinstall the pipe later.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cats</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CatsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CatsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CatsOfFediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CatsOfFediverse</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nottycat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nottycat</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/notmycat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>notmycat</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/catrescue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>catrescue</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/catcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>catcare</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/petcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>petcare</span></a></p>

Ellie Kennard<p>Our veterinary practice has been sold to the corporation. They are nice people there, I've used them for over 25 years</p><p>Three years ago Badger had to have dentistry including an extraction. The cost including tax came to just over $650. </p><p>When we took her in for her anal gland issue this week the really nice vet who examined her said she was in need of some dentistry again. So I asked for a quote which you see here. I called them, to be sure that I had read this correctly. It is a general quote, but it could be roughly $2000 plus tax. Will not be less than $1500, I'd guess. That's plus tax and roughly 3 times the bill last time.</p><p>Quite a difference from 3 years ago. And not doable, if you factor in say 3 years between these bills and 3 cats. You'd have to be budgeting $2000 a year for dental work for 3 cats. </p><p>How do people manage? 😳</p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/petCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>petCare</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/VetFees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VetFees</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/pets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pets</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/EllieKPosts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EllieKPosts</span></a></p>
