Exactly, he's been here since we moved in to our first home together 10 years ago, had 2 kids in that time and he's been there for it all.
Would be a big loss for us if and when

Yeah just seen though fun cat fountain things
He does drink over time usually, as he's on dry food so naturally gets thirsty. Just want to make sure he's drinking a bit more over the next few days at least
Looked at my documents I can’t see that stated

We are with PetPlan and despite the marketing of “prices don’t go up with claims” our prices for the 2 cars have gone up from £30 a month to £100 a month over the years.
It's a cat....
I have a pet cat, I've had a cat most of my life, I've buried a couple in the garden, it wasn't pleasant.
But it's a cat
£2000?!?
There are human beings starving on the streets your £2000 would go a long way.
Vets, insurance etc is a business, like anything they are in it for the money.
I know it's heartbreaking, but really, need to get things in perspective here.
Absolutely.
And those that can't afford it, should have their pets confiscated, and the government, at the tax payers expense, should set up an animal shelter to house all these confiscated pets.
We could call this animal shelter, "Big Al's Animal Sanctuary" just need someone to run it...I think you could be a "Big Al".
Check out my pussycat, Cora.
I know I'd much rather spend 2k on saving an animals life than feeding a homeless person/people.

Might be a case of make an overly simplistic statement and get silly responses. Absolutely no one is going to give £2k to homeless people because they didn't spend it on their cat.

why do you even have a cat/pet with that attitude? wouldn't it be easier to just not have any pets?
They are just a cat… a cat can be part of a family, but some people tend to look down on people who are overly attached to such a low tier animal.
I think you'll find most people will see your comment as disgraceful. Regardless of cat, dog or goldfish, people's pets become part of their family, and they will go to the ends of the earth to do what they can for them.
But each to their own.

I love animals (I mean we have nearly 40 of them here) but I do find people who value animal lives over people to be strange. Animals trigger an emotional response in people and does lead to them saying irrational, ill thought out things.
My dogs are part of the family, some random person is never going to come close to that

My George never drank much. Only way I could get him to drink was pour a little bit in with his food.
Not because of claiming though, the price goes up each year regardless as the risk increases. Nobody is going to insure an old animal for the same price as a young one, the risk profile is totally different.Sorry it appears to be from 9 with ManyPets.

I’m not asking you to compare your dog to a random person, the same way I’d expect you to value your family over a random person. I mean the general trend of people to react to animal suffering in a completely disproportionate way.My dogs are part of the family, some random person is never going to come close to that
I think my German shepherd has blocked anal glands so he's back to the vets tomorrow.
I rang the vet up and all he said was "show me the money" suppose it'll cost £500, better than a smelly dog I guess! Plus I'm sure he'll enjoy it, he loves the vets.
Not sure he's got long left to be honest, he must weigh about 60kg, and is struggling to get up.

Oh yes without a doubt, it’s just the way PetPlan push this.
Hey guys look we won’t increase your monthly cost with a claim………
Would be interesting to see who everyone here insures with and how they feel the company handled any claims.
Insured with "more than" before are dog got ill insurance was £24 monthly, after treatment it's now £60 monthly. Are excess is £100 plus 20% as he's over 9 years old.
Insurance is £1000 per year per condition. Recent claims have been easy.
