Did You Know They Get Urine By Sticking a Needle Through the Belly?

I didn't either! But, they do!

This must have been what they did last time, too. They told me they used ultrasound, and I naively believed that they used the ultrasound to somehow coax the cat into peeing. Kind of like tickling, I thought. I thought this because I could not believe that someone would stick a needle through an animal's belly.

Live and learn, live and learn.

So, it was a pain in the ass. But, we'll see what the test results show. They said it tasted normal, but the tests run by the lab give a better picture.

Time to find something to eat.

I found your blog because someone came to my blog from yours probably using the next blog button. I hope your cat gets better. I know what vet bills are like - I have the world's most expensive mixed breed chihuahua. And I took the neighbor's cat to the vet twice to get patched up from fights.

Well, I was trying to research cost-effective alternatives, but it seems that the best price for freeze-drying a cat (approx 10lbs) is around $600. That being said, you might want to remind Truman that the math only works in his favor up to a point. A Truman lamp or bookend would be quite the conversation piece, after all.
