Meeka's Spay

So as you know, Meeka is a Ragdoll. A kitten which I bought from Rasta Ragdolls located in California. According to my contract which I signed with my breeder, I must have Meeka spayed before she turns 7 months or I forfeit the documentation for her.

 

As of today she is exactly 6 months old to date. I can barely remember her kitten days and she's already a teenager. She's lost her little baby face, her tail has gotten thicker and her fur is all around fluffier and softer than ever. And she's still growing! They say Ragdolls fully mature once they are 3 years old. Imagine that. :)

 

It's hard finding a good vet. Apparently I've been ripped-off twice now. From two different vets. I've taken her to Countryside, where they charged me $160 to treat a kitten cold which she developed on the plane.  I found out the spay procedure they do costs well over $500!!! So I took Meeka to Dunloggin per advice from a client. I forgot this client is rich and owns their own business. Needless to say they charged me $300 for her spay procedure when it could have been done under $150. Ya live and ya learn I suppose.

 
I read an article that they now offer pet insurance which I feel is just a pull for more money to straddle out of you. If you think about it, the monthly costs add up to what you would be paying anyways. The pet insurance does not even cover the more hefty costs such as surgery! That's what you need it for!!

 

Not for the faint of heart:

Those are her stitches day two. Brutal isn't it?

 

I was feeling so horrible I went out and bought her this tower scratching post that conveniently came on sale the same day as her spay procedure.

 

 

I've been wanting this particular one for a long time and it was $40 cheaper so why not! Although the spay procedure price knocked the wind out of me the next day.. It's quite sturdy. Withstands her random climbing and jumping off crazyness. The carpet is nice and soft and the rope is great for scratching. 

 

She lays around the funniest ways. I know I shouldn't be making fun of her. With all the pain she's going through. Granted my sister started it first. Though that's no excuse. Shame on me. But take a look at these funny pics!

She does not give a hoot about the way she's sitting.

Imagine a proper lady sitting that way! Haha!
