Cat insurance policy

I agree, but I still think think that paying nearly £35 a month for a moggy is ridiculous.

The price goes up because the age of the cat goes up , usually.

phoenix if I went down the "threatening to look elsewhere" route, even if they took £15 a month off it still would not be sufficient.

I did think that I could put an amount aside specifically for this purpose but my last cat, uninsured, developed some ghastly disease late in life and of course only 11 other cats had been diagnosed with it in the country. Trips to the vet and drug prices were horrendous so I vowed that my next cat would be insured. Thanks for your ideas- my vet does not do a policy for the company.

Some vets offer their own plans, which in theory should not be extortionate, because they know your cats health history, but who knows in practice!

You could of course go down the "threatening to look elsewhere" route, many friends have done this with car insurance and have found that the provider can suddenly offer a better deal.

I believe that when the subject of pet insurance came up on here before, some GN members said that rather than pay the ever increasing premiums, they put a monthly sum aside to cover vet bills.
