canny granny

Even though I miss my old tabby cat I must say that I have a little more to spend on myself now.

It’s been a month since he went to that Feline Heaven in the Sky and I was able to use the money previously spent on his food. I bought myself a month’s supply of fish oil tablets from what I would have spent on him.

This mad extravagance actually saves me money on asprin as the fish oil eases the arthritic pain and I can get by for days at a time without reaching for the pain killers.

I found a special on the fish oil capsules in a pharmacy at Northcote Mall and, although I had intended to lash out and buy a large tin of coffee and some real milk, I couldn’t pass up the special. 100 capsules for $20.

Poor old Joe, he also saved me money by dying the night before he was due to be euthanised. So the money that would have gone to the Vet is placed inside a screw-top tin for the next veterinary visit.

(I still have my old black cat, the grumpy one, another expensive mouth to feed.)
