Her purrs are worth $300 and more! <br /><br />To L in Atl: I'm wondering about food allergies myself~~~my cats HATE the expensive stuff I bought, but I don't want to go back to the cheapo stuff, either (the food dye alone makes me want to gag for them) I wish there were some sort of budget-friendly homemade food I could make for them. . . .Finally Frugalhttp://finallyfrugal.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600248025662223449.post-20520253519860111112009-04-25T18:58:00.000-07:002009-04-25T18:58:00.000-07:00Side comment . . . my cat has a food allergy that ...Side comment . . . my cat has a food allergy that caused her major tummy ailments (throwing up blood and the lining of her tummy!) and we finally settled on expensive vet cat food too (Green peas and rabbit, thank you very much ;-) ) Expensive, but VERY worth it. Within a month, she gained her weight back and is full and sassy again. A year later she is still on the diet (financially, it's expensive, but it really IS the best thing for her, so that's just gonna have to be okay. I can cut back eslewhere ;-)) and she is healthy and happy and the joy of my life. <br /><br />So, yes. . . . pets are expensive but gosh, we love them so and they provide so much joy . . . you want to do what is best for them. ;-)<br /><br />L in ATLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600248025662223449.post-45957049167826742502009-04-25T00:43:00.000-07:002009-04-25T00:43:00.000-07:00Your math is right....

It's fine to use the card at the vets - but now pay it off right away - then make the payments you would have made to the credit card to your EF instead - and you'll be ahead as you won't be losing the interest.marci357https://www.blogger.com/profile/08464308058830198491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600248025662223449.post-50051096395186186092009-04-24T19:58:00.000-07:002009-04-24T19:58:00.000-07:00Your logic is great... but more importantly you to...Your logic is great... but more importantly you took care of your furry child. Part of a responsible pet owner is the knowledge to get medical attention when necessary and to care enough to do so. You did that, and I think you're better off for that.Michael and Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811899330944427814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600248025662223449.post-64092969673683791472009-04-24T11:33:00.000-07:002009-04-24T11:33:00.000-07:00Pay off the card.
