That Darn Cat (but we love him!)

Mr. Sophie, our lovable cat, has had a rough few days. He developed a urinary blockage last week, and had a reoccurrence this morning. Our vet is wonderful and has worked hard to solve his problem. Unfortunately, Mr. Sophie isn't the best patient. His file has a large, orange CAUTION sticker on it. He has a major case of "stranger danger".

Animal health problems are so difficult to deal with. The question of "when is enough enough?" always comes up. As I paid for his care today, I felt fortunate to be able to provide good care for my pet, but also some guilt over spending that much on our pet. There are so many humans who don't have their basic needs met, each day.

We love our little cat so much, and are hoping for some improvements in the next few days.
