Cat insurance help for a novice please?

[JCee]

Hi everyone

After going through the awful experience of losing my beloved mate of 17 years this week, and at great expense without insurance, I'm looking for recommendations for the future.

The house is so empty without the nutter so will be looking to get a new furry friend asap, but this time I think I would like to insure against the exorbitant vet fees that I was happy to pay to try and save him.

Any recommendations or help greatfully received.

Jon

RIP Cato

I personally think feed the best food, and what will be will be.

I'm amazed by the number of people who'll quite happily drop £100+ a month on pet 'insurance', then feed it the cheapest sttiest food.

But my cat only liked crap food. Cream in his bowl would be ignored and he'd be drinking the black water running down the gutter as I washed the car. Lean chicken would sit uneaten whilst he scavenged for bits of st dropping off the bird table.

Stupid, leg weaving wker. Do miss the daft tt though.

My view on pet insurance - indeed any optional insurance - is that if you have funds to cover the likely mishap, then all things being equal you are better off self-insuring. In other words, don't send money to keep people in offices, but pay the bill yourself, or if you don't have a few K on deposit then set a sum aside each month as a kitty (see what I did there!)

Boring stuff aside, enjoy your new pal
