Cynthia.

I remember when a work mate took the two cats that he fed, they were not his cats. The two cats came everyday and he fed them, they never went inside his home. He decided to do the right thing for the cats he took them to the cat’s protection people, for them to have them, but he was told, “We want this amount of money for that cat and the same amount for the other cat.” He said, “I can’t afford that.” It was a very high amount, so as he was skint, he took the cats back and let them go back into the garden. He is kind, but not everyone is that kind.

Personally, I don’t in general like Traffic Wardens, some taxi drivers, and Vets! I think they are greedy for money.

Today I took Cythina our kitten to the vets to get her first needles. She was very brave, and on her best behaviour, she was good when she had her teeth checked, and, her ears, her bones, and she didn’t even finch when she had her first injection. Her second injection was booked before we left the room for 25th November. Then we will put her outside. It was her first time in the car, her cat basket was on Paul’s lap, and she could see me as I drove.

Surprising, the vets was empty, usually there are other cats and dogs there.

At the end of our short visit, we went to the reception to pay, she said, “That will be £95,” Like it was £0 I said, “Ninety-five pounds?” She said, “Yes,” Inside my head I said, “NINETY-FIVE POUNDS!!!!” I paid with my card. I was shocked inside.

On the way back home, Paul said, “At covid time, lots of people bought cats and dogs, so with SO many people now with cats and dogs, surely the price would have come down and not gone up!”

I agreed with him.

I see why the vets, was empty. Animals are now even more expensive to have and keep. I love buying the cat litters for Nanny our cat and Cynthia, I also love looking in the reduced section for nice treats for the cats and the dogs, to add to there dog and cat food. They look forward to their treats, bought with love, and shared out to them. I love buying new beds and bedding for the animals and I love it when different members of the family buy them toys!  These are things, that are in my control, the vets, and their extortionate prices, they are not in my control.

I remember when both injections, cost £45!
