OH MY! Dear Jimmy, how WONDERFUL to see you at home and looking so relaxed...but of course, you are with your meowmy!

Lara, wow - I bet those threads COULD have thrown the whole digestive system into an uproar...I wonder if a tougher cardboard scratching post would be okay for him? But he is back in His Home and can make buddies with the new kids!

When you said $1,000...lol, I remembered many years ago when my sister had to rush one of her boys to the emergency vet in Vancouver. "Meatball" was breathing very strangely and with difficulty. Her roommate took Meatball down to the vet - I think my sister had lost the ability to drive by then - and the next morning, he was transferred to the regular vet.

Darcia (my sister) and Mom were talking on the phone. Mom is nuts about cats too, and would do anything for her furbabies, but when she heard that Meatball's overnight was $1,000 she was startled and exclaimed, "One thousand dollars! Are you going to PAY that?"

"NO, mom," replied Darcia in that sardonic way, "I'm gonna crush his skull with a ROCK. What do YOU think?!"

Of course - we will do it all for our furkids.

Give Jimmy a snuggle for me.
