Callie Cat

Callie the most expensive cat I've ever owned! Callie is now 12 1/2 years old.  I adopted her from our local Pet Smart in March 1999 after our 18 year old cat, Mike, passed away.  When I adopted her I didn't know she was SICK!  A few days after bringing her home she was taken to the vet because she wasn't feeling well.  She had a respiratory infection and also skin issues...ultimately the bill came to about $1000.  Then a couple of months later we adopted Simon from our neighbors.  Callie and Simon played together and one day, while playing, Callie's tail got cut by a fan.  Yes, you guessed it...back to the vet.  Callie had to have the end of her tail amputated (Another $200), and now she is known as "the short tailed cat". 

A few years ago, Callie ate some flowers.  I'm a floral designer and was doIng a wedding at my home and Callie decided she was going to eat some of the flowers (this is why I don't have plants or fresh flowers in my house).  The flower she ate (stock) is not toxic, but it caused her great discomfort (gas and vomiting) thus requiring a visit to the emergency vet. Needless to say, it cost about $300 for that visit.

Well, here we are again.  Callie needing medical attention.  Unfortunately, Callie suffers from constipation issues and well...you could say she's "full of it".  Back to the emergency vet we go.  Callie needs to have an enema and a follow up visit with her Vet to see what we can do to prevent this in the future. And yet again, $300 vet bill!
