A whole bucketful of awesome. |
This page is, in fact, an overflowing bucketful of awesome, but I didn't want to brag too much. |
For something so little, how can she end up creating a bill so big?
That’s okay. I didn’t need that $300 anyway. Seeing as I’m made of money and all.
My 11 year old cat was diagnosed with diabetes in November. Each bottle of insulin costs over $100, then there’s the glucose testing equipment and the syringes and the food as he needs wet food twice a day with his insulin and then there’s the fact that I need to be around twice a day to make sure he eats and gets his insulin and I have to make sure he’s not drinking excessive amounts of water and he won’t shut up at 5:30 am because he’s eager for it to be 7:30 am when he gets his shot…
They’re expensive and can be time consuming, but they’re worth every penny when you don’t feel like throwing them out of a window.
I once spent nearly $2000 on my cat because of an abscess. It pretty much drained my savings at the time. Two years ago he became diabetic and I paid for all that shit, but thankfully cats ‘recover’ and he kicked the diabeetus a month later. Now he’s 16 and it looks like he’s got hyperthyroid. This cat is magical and I’d probably sell one of my organs for him if I had to.
ZOMG, my cat is hyperthyroid! The vet said she had MAYBE six months to live— it’s been nine.
Downside: She recently started biting and scratching me in her desire-to-escape-medicine-taking-time efforts. I tell myself it’s all part of the process and hey, Jackson Pollack-esque scarification is hip.
Upside: She is still alive, awesome in her own disdainful way and no longer throws up like six times a week.
