All Of My Concerns are Being Met

Is there anything that I am "giving up" by leaving LA? I have thought long and hard about that question.

About a week ago I thought about my cat's vet. Good vets are hard to find and "great" vets are even harder to find. I felt I had found a "great" vet for my 2 cats here in LA.

Neither has been ill in the last 5 years, so neither has been to the vet. I do not believe that "indoor" cats need all those money making shots. In facts, the last time I got Kitty his shots was about 5 years ago, upon returning home he got deadly ill and I had to bring him back to the vet where they kept him for 2 days.

3 days ago I noticed that Kitty's behavior was not that of Kitty. Since I work out of my home I can see my cats behavior from minute to minute.

Something was clearly wrong so I picked up the phone to call the "great" vet that I knew and felt comfortable with. The new girl who answered the phone could not locate any files for any of my cats... not the dead ones, nor the alive ones. This surprised me. Upon arriving at the vet I noticed all new faces. This wasn't so surprising. A new file had to be created for Kitty and we were escorted into a room. In walked a doctor that I had never seen before. She was very thorough with her exam of Kitty. I asked where the other two doctors were that owned the vet and she informed me that they sold the practice a few years ago and have moved on.

Well, leaving behind a "great" vet is nothing that I am thinking about. Plus, my Honey has informed me that the University of Pennsylvania has an excellent Veterinary Program.

The picture is of me holding Kitty. Check out his rabbit looking back feet.
