I would like you to meet my cat Loki. As you can see he has been in a bit of trouble. The wound on his head looks like he has been shot, he has also got numerous cuts over his body. So off we went to the vet where they treated him and the poor things no longer a boy (snip). That should stop the fighting. Needless to say i won't be buying any modelling stuff this month as i'm now skint ( vets, how much). Loki has now made himself comfortable on my modelling desk so i can make a fuss of him . Oh well i think i'll paint the cat :-)

He does too look like he was shot. :-) When our family cat gets beat up my parents are always complaining about vet fees. :-)

I love our Cat but he is a traitor my daughter dressed him up as an All Black supporter
Lionel you traitor

Yep, it had started to heal with a abcess under it causing an infection which led to a dehydration and one feeling sorry for itself cat.

I feel for you with the vet fees. We'd had our new puppy a week when our 2 year old retriever taught him a lesson. 8 stitches, and the equivalent of about 5 really good model kits, Duke had been taken care of. In a month we've spent more on him in vet bills than we've spent in co-pays for the entire family.

I like your cat by the way. There is something about orange cats that is just really cool. They seem to have more personality than other cats.

I don't have any pets myself (yet ?). My uncle (who lives on a farm) has a dog, an onn his current dog he spent as much on vet-bills in 6 months as he did on his previous dog who ended up being almost 15 years old (for a German sheppard). The dog is now on a special diet, so my guess is he has spent as much or more(dog is roughly 6 years old) then on his previous dog. Still, once you have chosen for a pet, he deserves the best.

In my previous shared house our housecat was killed (either dog or mauled by the neighborhood bullies) the day we left the house (as it was sold).
