How much was your vet bill? I'm tending a feral cat who had a badly
broken leg. The vet installed steel pins and a cast, the cast was on
for eleven days, the pins will be in for a month or so. He's had no
"cage rest", and was thumping around the house like Captain Ahab for
the first week. It cost me $600 including vaccinations, I think the
vet was surprised I would pay that much for a stray cat.

He just approached my cat Flinx, meowing and purring, and tried to
head bump him. Flinx hissed and slugged him a good one. I'm glad
he's still trying, he's been at it for a couple years now. That's why
I thought he was worth $600. He used to have a good friend in another
stray cat, but that one was killed by the neighbor's dog.

Here's his picture with the cast:

His expression accurately reflects his feelings towards me.

Poor guy. I hope Flinx comes around. They do sometimes you know. Good on you
for taking care of him. He's very handsome. With patience, he could really
come to love you. I'm amazed at the feral stories I hear here.

Vet bill was $450- Aussie dollars which ends up about the same as your
$600
John, I know that "look" well. Thanks again for everyone's replies. It
can be lonely worrying about pets and I don't feel quite so alone
knowing you are all out there.
