Skinny-leg Sooty.
In preparation for summer, Sooty the cat has been shaving her legs. Well, not quite true. Sooty does have a shaved leg but as a result of a visit to the vet to get her teeth fixed.
Sooty had lost the tip of one of her fangs and had some terrible lumpy tartar buildup. So it was time to bite the bullet (lol) and face the vet.
Sooty had the pain and discomfort of an anaesthetic and tooth treatment, I had the pain of a $575 vet bill. Yes, that’s what it costs to get a cat’s teeth cleaned in Sydney.
So now I must be more vigilant with the cat toothbrush and cat toothpaste. Mind you, I think that’s only the second dental work she’s had in her 14-year life.
I also had dental work this week – but my tooth extraction was a lot cheaper than Sooty’s cleaning job (and I didn’t have to get my leg shaved!) My jaw still aches, so at least we can both suffer together. I tried to get Sooty to smile for the photo, but she refused.
Muriel laughed like a drain at Sooty’s dilemma …… but not at the cost of cat dental work!!
