I think I paid $800 for Clio's extractions, and a cleaning. I was so pissed because that cat has been eating T/D (Tartar control) food since she was a kitten. It made me a little more skeptical of the need to clean a cat's teeth though. Clio's weren't that bad, tartarwise, because of the food, and yet she had already lost two teeth and needed another two pulled. She's just got bad teeth.

I think my vet charges $100. Mister Kitty is the one who really needs it, but he's too old.

I occasionally get calls for my late father from people trying to sell business services. I always tell them he can't be reached by telephone, and they need to try an entirely different Medium.

Our wings are not tired.
I have never had any of my pets' teeth professionally cleaned and none of them have ever, ever had any teeth/jaw/whatever problems. And I take really good care of my pets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, check with your vet and see if they're going to have any deals in February or March. My vet has deals for Dental Health Care month(s) (also because those are the two deadest months for the office), and they give 10-20% off of any dental work.
That is fascinating. I'll probably do it in February or March, anyway.

Yeah, extractions would be more. The blood work beforehand is $100, and then the cleaning is $200-$300. Crazy!! Last year, the old vet gave me some spray stuff that was supposed to help, but it was such drama trying to get it in his mouth, I never used it much.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Famous San Francisco Sea Lions Abandon Their Pier 39 Post
The blubbery sea lions at Pier 39, one of San Francisco’s smelliest and most famous tourist attractions, are gone. During the last week of November, they left the wooden docks on which they’ve spent the last 20 years and no one knows if they’ll be coming back.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
My vet showed me the tartar on one of my cat's teeth, and it was *nast.* Like, a quarter of an inch thick. And that's the cat who's already had her teeth cleaned once.
It's about the risk of infection, to my understanding, since chronic infections can lead to heart disease (see: Andy Hallett). But none of that makes the expense any easier to stomach. Both my cats need a cleaning.
