We are still waiting for things to slow back down. Our cat issues started about a week before our vacation with what we thought was a bladder infection, then it intensified to him peeing blood the day we were supposed to leave on vacation. On our vacation Zellmer, our cat, was passed between our vet and an emergency vet hospital, getting various surgeries and being observed. The culprit of all of this was some kidney stones. They had to make his urethra bigger so this wouldn't happen again. So from the outside appearance my boy cat now looks like a girl. Poor thing. Sounds horrible and expensive, it is! But it hasn't stopped. Zellmer is a master at getting the plastic cone off his head, so he opened up the wound. We took him back and they restitched him and put two collars on him. But wouldn't you know it, last night he jumped on our bed and split the stitches. So back to the vet. Our vet is INCREDIBLE and has kept the price down for us, but we are stilling at around $1600 right now (animals, why do we have them?!) and 5 trips to the vet so far and we haven't even been home a week. Hopefully this will all be over soon and Zellmer will be healthy and I can clean my house thoroughly(he hasn't quite learned how to pee
with all of these new things, or lack there of more like it)!

oh so sad! i guess Zellmer has always been a little bit more high maintenance! ;) but he is so super cute, even with the cones on his head.
Your poor cat!! I don't think Dan would let me spend that much to keep mine healthy. Hopefully we don't ever have to find out.
