Morning Moxie, hope you managed to have a good night and didn't worry too much. Any news yet? Many hugs and love to your puzsy cat(that gets it past the censor!!) and also to you.

Once you hit about 5 in number, any further increases are academic, we find

True(except at food and tray time!)

I am a vet nurse and know that there is a back log at Direct Line at the mo, so it may be 10 weeks, but they are reliable and the vet will probably have dealt with them before, so may be happy to do a direct claim.

Hope he gets better, if you need any other advice feel free to pm me.

Keep us posted!

I really hope Moxie will be okay. We had 2 cats when I was little and although I was allergic to them I was devastated when one of them was killed because someone had been careless with rat poison.

Any news? Hope moxie is ok.

Yes the news is that he has dislocated a hip. He has had a general today and they have pushed it back and he is now comfortable. However, apparently cat's hips that push back easily can also pop out again easily. So they are keeping him all weekend with a bandage on. I may be able to get him on Monday, or it might be Tuesday. Money money! The estimated bill is now nearer to £400! And they won't deal directly with Direct Line because of the backlog, but they will let me pay on installments. I have to talk to them about it on Monday/Tuesday when I go and fetch him. Thanks to everyone for your good wishes.

Aw - poor little Moxie cat. :grouphug: At least everything is back where it should be and he can start healing. Vet at least sounds reasonable on the fees and you'll get it back eventually. Are you allowed to go and see him?
