Welcome Squiffy



Please welcome Squiffy, fresh from the Cats' Protection League, with his heart murmur, missing teeth, displaced trachea (???) and cystitis. And aggressive attitude. And clumps of hair falling out... But welcome the old boy anyway...

Is there such a thing as a cheap vet Polly? If so please share the phone number! Kitty

Kitty: funny you should ask that - while researching my latest post, I found out that a chain of vets operates (so to speak) inside Pets at Home superstores.

Their website invites you to 'contact your local surgery for a range of great money saving special offers'.

Now, in my experience, aside from routine jabs at a designated time of year, a trip to the vet's is usually fairly unpremeditated; you can't wait until the january sales to get a problem fixed.

Which leaves us, presumably, with elective surgery; "Look, they've got 20% off gall-bladder surgery, let's book Tiddles in at once!"

If they fit false teeth may take them both in...

You could even get them little glasses to put them in at night, and you could get their names hand-painted so they don't get mixed up....now who does that remind me of?
