spent most of labor day weekend at the emergency vet as pepper had to get surgery after swallowing a string yesterday she got to come home after two nights at the animal hospital. she was a very brave girl

selfie of me lying on my bed, a little gray russian blue mix cat with a clear plastic cone around her neck sleeping on my chest pepper the cat looks up angrily from within a giant swaddle of towels and blankets the same cat in her little cubicle area at the animal hospital, looking out with wide eyes

We'll do anything for our pets - and sometimes it seems like the vets know that. I am guessing this set you back 6-7k. My 13 y/o cat racked up a 5k emergency bill last month. Their lives are priceless - but it feels like there is something seriously wrong with the price of pet care.

yeah, bill was about $6k. I do have pet insurance which will reimburse 80% of it with a $250 deductible, hopefully there won’t be any issues with filing a claim. I’ve never had to use it before

that is huge - you should feel like a genius for having pet insurance. I don't have it on any of my cats - would have saved me thousands so far I figure.

I am super-glad I took the advice from a random reddit thread I saw shortly after adopting my cats
