    My Mom's cancer medicince was $20,000 a month. Obviously her insurance refused to cover it, so they had to go directly through the pharmaceutical company, who did give it to her.

    Cats are notoriously difficult most of the time to acclimate. They could be really stressed, and taking it out on each other. Try keeping them apart for a bit longer from the other animals, and if you do see them acting up, correct the instigator. My girls are lovey dovey with each other...
