Alf's happy again! His new haircut (if a little see through) blends the rest of his fur into his shaved, but now much better, leg! He is NOT quite so happy that the cats no longer recognise him and hiss at him every time he walks in the room like he's a pantomime baddy!
PET INSURANCE - Alf is actually insured so I will get most of his vets fees back but the cat is not. When I acquired two seven year old siamese cats with no medical history they wanted £50 a month to insure them! £50!!
They have cost me a fortune since but I also reckon pet insurance has pushed up the cost of veterinary treatment a lot. OK if you have it but a fortune to pay if you haven't.
They are both on the mend though so I don't care really. It's only money!
