Sammy one of the cats in my pen, was taken poorly last Friday, I rushed him to the vets as he blew up to twice his size they kept him in, the vet told me they did not know what was wrong with him and at first thought he had been poisand after the weekend they phoned and told me it was Emphysema and that the bill so far was £300 and what did i want to do about him, They had got all the air out of him and that he was being fed by a tube as is airway was to swollen and he could not eat or drink, they told me he was making progress so i told them to do what they could to save him if i had spent that much, i phoned the vets every day and was told he was making good then on Thursday this week he came home and is now indoors with me,they told me the cost of all his treatment was £937.82 :shocked: i could have had two weeks holiday for that sort of money :ROFL: People say I am mad its only a cat but its means a lot more to me, and who cares anyway he is now enjoying the comforts of my front room :rofl:

Sammy is doing fine he went to the vets Friday and got the all clear the vet was pleased with the outcome but the total cost was over £1000 I really don't no were the vets get there prises from :shocked: But its good to see him around the house and being friends with Alfie my thee legged cat who is also Coming along Fine and adapting really well, He now goes out doors I Found him half way up a tree in my garden and he also goes over next doors fence. At this moment Sammy has taken to sleeping on the stair's as he is not to shore about the rest of my clan but they just look at me and think not anther one :rofl: tha makes it up to 10 indoor house cats :rofl:

Just thought i'd drop you all an update on Sammy - the £1000 cat!!!! but wouldn't change anything for the world!. Although he has been described by one volunteer as like the Lion out of the 'Wizard of Oz' he looks butch but is the biggest coward in the world, but I'm giving him full reign of my home and he is quickly taking over Tom's role as senior male cat of the household and has also commandeered Tom Tom's outdoor garden house.
Anyway for a cat who nearly died twice on the operating table, he's proving that cats may well have '9' lives!!
