Our $1000 Kitty

[Lorelei]

This is our $1000 kitty (with our youngest boy, Jacob). Last year, she came inside through the dog door and collapsed at my feet. She was seizuring, couldn't breath, and cried when I touched her. I discovered she had been bitten by a snake - and judging by the distance of the fang marks on her neck, it was a diamondback rattler. So, a trip to the vet, a stay in ICU, a few viles of antivenin, and a $1000 bill - she is good as new - but stays away from snakes now!

Lucky, spoiled, lazy, scared of the snakes now, spoiled, lazy. I don't think I left anything out.

[Lorelei]

Yeah that first pic is when she still had a neck.

If she was trying to get away from snakes she ran into the wrong house! Pretty cat.

[ffollett]

lol no she steers clear of the snake room. She is either on our bed or in the living room.

When I first saw the picture I though you PAID 1k for that cat, I was about to tell you that you got giped but I stuck to my better judgement :) it is a cute little kitty.

[ffollett]

She is so far from little it isn't even funny. Probably what helped save her but when she got nailed.

[TonyS]

Thats great you saved her but I have never heard of a cat that wasnt spoiled lmao

I got 2 cats that no at exactly 330pm they run to the kitchen and at 7am they run to the kitchen on the dot (maybe a few mins off)
