Ugh. I can't go to the movies with my friends, I can't go out and buy stuff for school. Because guess what, I have to take my cat to the vet next week! Everytime we go it ends up being bloody $100. And we have to go often.

I don't blame my cat, I blame my own inability to make a crapload of money so that I can have a nice camera, enough money for gas, enough money to put on my cell phone and still be able to take care of the cat. Oh yeah, and the vets. Why can't they be cheaper?!

$100 really is cheap. I know that when a human (at least in the US) goes to the doctor, even with insurance it's generally more than that, ESPECIALLY if something is wrong.

Yeah, for the US that makes sense. But here I go to a doctor (or even a dentist) and I barely pay anything. It doesn't damage my finances. But when my cat, that's like 10 times smaller than I am, needs a bunch of meds that are only sold in the US (that I have to buy for a price that makes me want to yell out "HIGHWAY ROBBERY!") its just ugh. ugh. well, I guess I brought it on myself.

Perhaps that's because you don't pay for insurance for your pets?

My mom has both of our dogs insured.

We have free healthcare. Please don't try to push it by getting your cat covered too.

I do, it's just the cheap one that doesn't cover what he has. It's more for like accidents and horrible illnesses and junk. I can't pay $40/month for pet insurance that covers even examinations. Wish I could.

4est, but my cat is cuuuuute! :D

For my rats it was cheap.  Like $50 to remove the tumors.
