MH Jun 2020 10:22pm, 2 Jun 2020 680 posts	0 MH On the whole, I agree with the sentiments regarding insurance - we covered the £5000 bill for our previous cat (as the insurance didn't cover over 10 years old - we were 2 months over) and of course it was worth it. We kept petplan going for our current 2 (Maine coons) and upon discovering a bit of an issue with one of their hearts (not HCM) so we had over £1500 on vet bills per year for the last 3 years and then another £800 on dentistry, so it's worked out. It can be a crap shoot. The only thing I would say is read the fine print, particularly as the cats get older.
Oranj Jun 2020 8:34pm, 25 Jun 2020 2,073 posts	0 Oranj I had a friendly visitor when I got back from my evening walk to the corner shop. They've not been round for a while, and it's been a hot day for a cat with such dense fur. After a some fuss we sat together for a bit before they'd had enough of my company and wandered off.
