avoiding a catastrophic illness…

Why is a striped cat named “Sprinkles”?? “Ref” would make more sense. ;-)

No it’s just time to get a new cat

Why I don’t keep pets.

that droopy right ear is the hallmark of the very rare Reverse Scottish Fold. vet not needed.

Are there vets that can treat Munchausen by proxy?

A good vet will first do a CAT scan.

“Does your cat suffer from ear drooping?” “If so call us at 1-800-KIT-KAT.” If you don’t call us we’ll create an annoying jingle just like that Kids for Kars one.

Sprinkles! (˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

Hubby looks cat-atonic!

This crazy catochondriac may need to be kept under observation for a while, Bleeb.

Put the fat cat on a diet.

Need to go to a vet alright…for the wife

Definitely a Terminal Condition. The vet can take care of things.

Before you consent to an expensive repair, check the Blue Book on that used cat. If the cost exceeds the depreciated value, the insurance company will say it’s totaled.

Cat-ching

One of my patients has a therapy dog with a droopy right ear. She hears just fine and always has a quizzical look on her face because of that.

All kitties should wear prison outfit like this one. My contribution as neighborhood doggie.

Have you confused your cat recently?

The Vet will probably tell her she’s the one that needs help, from a therapist.

No need for a vet, that drooping ear problem can probably be taken care of with a few well placed staples.

Bleeb says just get them both to a hairdresser! :)

Maybe he just needs a drink… a Cat a Tonic.

Sprinkles droopy ear, first signs of impending doom of divorce…

for $1000 the vet will tell you it’s nothing to worry about

My dog, Oreo, has a semi-droopy right ear. It adds to her charm.

For a cat? Really??…now for a dog I could see…

What is that funny thing he is reading?
