My neighbor had been working in her yard side by side along with me as we both worked in our front yards. We had been chatting all day when suddenly her cat appeared. He had been in a fight. Bloodied and hurt, she grabbed him up and rushed to the vet. The cat wsd ok. But when she went to pay for services, the amount was amazingly low! She didn't question it, glad to get a deal on her vet bill. We both concluded that in her garden clothes, dirt under her fingernails, hair uncombed, the vet felt sorry for her and cut her (and the cat) a good deal! I think the next time I go to a vet, I will try the same trick!
