We’re getting back about $1500 from our Federal and State tax returns.
Guess how much we spent this week on a cat emergency?
Yep – approximately $1500.
The cat is fine. He had been wheezing and making gurgling noises in his throat for about a week so I brought him to the vet on Monday. They did x-rays and found something that looked like a foreign object in his trachea. It’s highly unusual for a cat to suck something into it’s windpipe they tell me. Since my vet didn’t have an endoscope small enough to go down a cat’s airway, we were referred to the big fancy veterinary hospital in Leesburg (where they serve Starbucks coffee for dog’s sake). By the time they did the procedure, they couldn’t find anything. Guess the little bugger finally coughed it up or something. Sheesh.
I feel that every time we get a little extra money, something comes along to deplete it.

Oh hon, I hear ya on the extra money thing. There's some cosmic connection that lets the powers that be know when money is coming your way so the critters can suck it right back up. I guess the good thing about it all is that at least you *had* the tax return to cover the vet bill with.
