@tazzieQ Really, I feel depressed too. Got the bill from the vet. Pffffff, that didn’t cheer me up either

Damn, I’m now waiting for more than an hour at the vet!#gotbetterthingstodo

That fuckin’ vet closes in a minute, so we can’t go there but tomorrow.

Fuckin’ assholes

I just brushed my cat’s teeth. With a swab! I’m not sure, but it feels like my vet is pulling my leg here...

Look at what people think of the vet on Twitter
