Reply to: Where's me spade

[Lockhouse]

actually, the conversation when I found out was quite funny.

Mrs EO -'Now dont get mad, if it were you, I'd get you insured as well'
EO -'800 QUID? would I have to sit on the carpet and lick me bum clean ?'
Mrs EO-'Now you are being silly'
EO-'For 800 quid a year, I'll do yours as well'

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to EternalOptimist again.

I'll kill the cats for a tenner.

Does anybody here remember Mookymoo from The Old Folks' Home, a few years ago?

I spent £1500 on my cat's ulcerated eyeball.

A year after it got better, he got detached retinas and was completely blind. Was put to sleep shortly after.

Other puss had an ongoing thyroid problem. Initially operated on, then it returned and had blood tests every few weeks and daily pills. Probably a good 3K over seven years or so.

But apart from that, they didn't cost too much, and given that we hadn't forked out for insurance for 20 years I reckon we still were better off than if we had.

I was musing about career choices a while ago, just after taking the cat to the vet for a second time. First was it's been sneezing a bit....thermometer up the arse, injection, tablet, come back next week that's £25 please, all done in about 2 mins.
Return visit was thermometer up the arse, tablet, not quite better, come back in a week that's £20 please, all done in a minute.
The cat survived without a 3rd visit.

Seems to me that vets work the hours that suit them, don't get any malpractice complaints, earn a fortune.

know someone who has spent £22K on their pedigree moggy being ill, this was after the insurance stopped paying out

That’s pointless, if a cat was ill, you could let it die and buy another 20 with that money,

A mate of mine had medical insurance, dental insurance, pet insurance, insurance for the drains, insurance for the boiler, insurance for every gadget in the house, travel insurance, car insurance, insurance for all his keys and insurance for loss of earnings in the event of losing his job.

Got hit by a bus, but had no life insurance.

Can't you just get the insurance onece says its for the cat called 'Tiddles' and then what ever cat is ill out of the 4 when you take it in say this is 'Tiddles' ? Pretty sure chips dont hold there names, my friend does this with his 2 cats.

Brewster-Roustabouts folder has a big fck-off red warning on the front 'Caution Required'
'big Ginger female, bites spits and claws.'
Plus, her bum fell out once



thats a difficult act to impersonate
