Oh poor moxie I feel for you! I had to take my kitty Dolly to the vet this week - £65 smackeroonies. But what can you do? I had pet insurance for our other cat who stayed healthy til the day he wandered off (:(( and the bloomin' insurance wouldn't pay out then (gits)

No pet insurance for Dolly but I am contemplating it...I meant £4 a month isn't too much to ask is it,

Still waiting for that call....

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat - but as others have said, he can't be too bad if it's a possibility for him to come home today.

I have 2 dogs and I wouldn't dream of not having insurance. It's such a huge risk without, as vets bills can be so enormous. Definitely worth asking your vet if he'll bill the insurance company direct. I know of others who have done this.

Thinking of you.

The vet has just rung. They are keeping him in over night to monitor him. They haven't been able to x ray his leg yet but will do it tomorrow, probably under sedation. She said he is comfortable and they are going to offer him some food now. Will update tomorrow.

Poor !!!!! cat. Hope he is OK tomorrow when he gets xrayed.
In our vet, they ask if you have insurance and if so they add the cost of the excess to your claim, so effectively the treatment is fully paid for by the insurers. I have overheard them doing it with others.

Have been thinking about you since I read your thread. Hope everything goes well for you both. We have 7, two dont go out at all, one only very occasinally and then only for a few mins. The others go out very early in the morning and hten are all in no later than 12pm.(Simon only ha sa 1 hour play in the morning)I totally understand what everybody have said about worrying about their cats and keeping them safe. We had a cat killed in front of our house about 10feet away from DH.A wful. Anyway Moxie get well SOON.xxxx

What a helpful vet! I'll certainly give it a try.

So sorry to hear about your beastie. We have 8, all insured with Direct Line, and they've always either reimbursed us within 10 days (minus the excess) or dealt directly with the vet. I can't fault them, to be honest - we think they're excellent.
