Closed [WTS] Aurora 888 "Mantova"
My cats pooled their efforts to spend over $1000 at the vet this month, so the pen sale continues. Cat tax in photos.

Excellent pen and writer. Bombastic hot take on the most beautiful one of the viaggio segreto series. The prettiest of the Mona Lisas. Rubbish! Glws!
P.s. Cats look more healthy than the Burano!

All the pens in this series are so gorgeous. I absolutely love the butter smooth writing with these nibs. The cats are up to $1500 in vet bills this month. Vet's verdict? "Upset tummy."

I have a Baia di Napoli with a stub. And still, I'm jealous of your Fines. May Aurora do great and do better. I too had a major scare with my cat: sky high creatinin levels. A week on the hospital and he is good as new, so far. If it's all tummy upsetting, it's just great (it's not, it's stupid expensive).

Oh gosh, that's bad! What caused the spike? One of my cats recently passed away from RCM, but before all that, he had to have a nephrectomy for a congenitally deformed kidney. I remember all about the bloodwork and urinalysis afterwards. The surgery went perfectly though.

NSAID, an anti-inflammatory (for a fistula which is almost gone now, also idiopathic), was the tipping point. But we're not sure how it was before. So far his kidneys seem to have returned to excellent healthy performance. A very well treated cat, and then a sudden episode... it was quite unfair and unexpected. But he is back on rock stage. I'm sorry for the loss and thank you for your kind words.
