Thursday

I spent a half hour on the phone this afternoon with my car insurance company, STATE FARM INSURANCE. They've over charged me $305.00 the past 2 months. They offered to pay me back $200.00 in credit.......and then implied they would increase my sons rate if I didn't agree to their offer. Huh? They made a mistake, automatically deducted $305.00 too much from my checking account, admit to their mistake, and then offer to pay me back part of the money? Am I missing something?

The day that Clarabell died I took him to the Vet. During the examination it was noted that Clarabell had been neutered and de-clawed. It was recent because the Vet said the hair growth at the neuter site was new. Clarabell was born on Mothers Day, in my living room, 5 years ago. I never had him neutered or de-clawed. He went missing for about a week last summer...................and then was missing for 3 weeks prior to the week that he died. When he came home this last time he was considerably thinner, and seemed tired. A day after he came home I found 4 large pools of blood on the deck. I checked him for injuries because his paws were covered in blood, but I wasn't very thorough. I didn't find any injury. On day 5 of his return home I noticed he wasn't eating, and his breath smelled like pus, he was lethargic...and I knew he was actively dying......... I took him to the Vet anyway in hopes that something could be done. The Vet also found an abdominal mass just above the bladder, and he specualted, based on the smell of Kittys breath, that he also had severe kidney disease.................. Here's what I think....... I think someone took my cat.....probably some psycho, doctor wanna be, or serial killer in the making, neighbor. ...He performed surgery on him, and starved him for awhile....& then... . ...either let Clarabell go, or Clarabell escaped..........Clarabell bleed out from being declawed (the blood all over my deck) AND had a raging infection from the neutering (the abdominal "mass" and stinky pus like breath).....and then passed away.......................

Clarabell was a gentle, laid back, affectionate old guy........he didnt deserve to be harmed.
My family will miss him.
