Just back from the veterinary surgeon's [View all]

I mentioned in a previous post that our cat Lizzie had a loose patella and the vet recommend consulting with a surgeon. Well, the doc recommended not doing anything about it. She said, actually both patellas were a bit loose, and of our gal is learning to deal with it, to just let her be. She says she talks a lot of people out of having surgery done. Yeah!!! That'll save us several thousand bucks!
