Tesco seems really competitive on the price, may go with them for him going forward
Do you insure your cats? Who do you use?

What limit per condition, and is this annual or lifetime policy?
Sorry, yes pretty useless without that info!
That's the "Extra" policy which has a £4k limit per condition (non-renewing). £120 excess + 20% when older than 8 years old
I've had 2 pets recently die at ripe old ages (13 year old gsd & 18 year old moggie) who had no serious health issues towards the end of their lives but in hindsight I think we were extremely lucky in that regard as my cat was out almost every day and his siblings were killed either cars/wildlife and ended up dying from end-stage heart disease and my dog gradually lost her mobility until she could barely get up 
So I would definitely get insurance if I ever get pets again in future.

We insure our 2 cats and dog with Many Pets (which used to be Brought By Many). They're all getting a bit older now so it's getting quite pricey at £850 for this year although you get 20% of the policy back if you don't claim which is always nice at the end of the year. Even if you claim on 1 pet, they still pay the cashback on the other 2 at a pro-rata rate.

We have our cat and our dog with Waggel on a lifetime policy, (2k per condition per year I beleive)
Recently had to claim on the dog after she ate a punnet of grapes, wasn't a huge bill but they paid out 13 days after submitting the claim

Hmmm...feels like when I was a kid if the cat's ever went to the vet they never came back.... and then we just bought a new cat..... never really thought about it but I guess fixing a cat is more expensive than a new cat.....
Are you still allowed to do that, as in just say I think I will get a new cat and let the vet deal with it humanly? Genuine question....

Of course you're "allowed" to do that - if you can't/won't pay for the "fix" then what's the vet going to do?
However you'd still have to pay to have it put down (unless you want to "DIY" in which case you're almost certainly on shaky legal ground), and pay for the replacement cat, which if it's a rare breed then might not be quite as cheap as you suspect
