Being a cat is such hard work, we humans will never understand
Being a cat is such hard work, we humans will never understand
southsamurai has a great overall explanation. I would add it also depends on the age and any medical conditions of each.
We have a 45 pound dog (age 12) and a 15 pound cat (age 17). The dog is on senior/old man food but is otherwise in good health. The cat has kidney disease so we have to get only specific kinds. Per month the cat’s food is about $5 more than the dog’s, but that’s for a smaller amount.
Well done. Anesthetizing birds is always so tricky
My cat will also do this. And if I put a blanket on his spot he’ll go sleep somewhere else
First time I left my spouse and cat alone, my cat trapped them in the bathroom.
I don’t know the actual answer. My theory is it’s this confusing so it’s hard for the general population to catch the mistakes. This allows insurance companies get out of paying as much as they’re supposed to. And hospitals don’t really care who does the paying, as long as they get paid
All very valid points and part of why American health insurance is such a joke
I had an incident recently where my spouse had to go to the ER because of a life threatening incident. One of those fix it right now or they might die things. (They’re fine now, thank goodness.)
We went to an in-network hospital and all doctors were also in-network. However the one who actually did the life-saving procedure was a specialist. Under our insurance plan seeing a specialist requires a referral, which of course we didn’t have time to get. So insurance tried to nope out of that doctor’s entire bill.
You need to know both your deductible and out of pocket maximum numbers. You’ve said your deductible is $1500. For the sake of this example let’s say your out of pocket max (OOP from now on) is $2500.
For simplicity, we’ll go with your insurance’s negotiated rate for the procedure is $1000*. Meaning at the end of the day you and your insurance combined will pay the hospital $1000.
Basically any bills up to $1500 for the year you pay 100%. Between $1500 and $2500 (or your OOP), insurance pays 50% and you pay 50%. Over $2500 insurance pays 100%.
Some examples to illustrate:
That cat does kind of look like Nermal
You betcha
And then you go put more peanuts out, I assume
The focus on both their faces is amazing
Fiddlehead ferns. But also the old standby cucumbers.
Thanks for asking this, I’ve got some new picking to try!
I know you probably already give her lots, but give her even more neck scritches for me please
I will look into those. Thank you for taking the time to type it all up, kind stranger
I believe this is the recipe
This is a really good idea. What program did you use to convert them?
Don’t get fooled into thinking they are stuck.
And they will be very annoyed if you “rescue” them
Edit: Added quote to make it clear. Although lots of things you do will annoy your cat
When mine was young I only gave him dry food. Then he developed kidney disease (CKD) 4 years ago. It and diabetes are fairly common in older cats.
Now he gets dry food plus wet food in the morning and evening - 1/2 of a little can or 1/4 of a bigger can at each feeding. The dry food and wet food are in separate bowls. That plus finding a water fountain he likes has so far kept his kidney disease from getting any worse.
Next cat I’ll give wet and dry food from the start.
He just found it this way, honest
