The annual insurance renewal on evil cat came yesterday. The monthly fee is, are you braced, £33!
This is, I suppose, a reasonable cost for a 16 year old moggy with dodgy kidneys, but we are going to cancel the insurance. Especially as they only cover the first 12 months of any illness and so the cover on her kidneys has already run out.
On the brutal side, there are not that many long and expensive treatments that would be kind to inflict on a sixteen year old cat, no matter how dark they are. On the positive side we should be able to manage most treatments. We managed for malevolvent cat and she had a tumour behind her eye. We did not begrudge a single penny we spent on her, but one day, she looked at me and I knew she had just had enough. We didn't keep her suffering, but up until then we had done all it took. I still miss her - the Naomi Campbell of the feline world.

Why not open an EvilCat savings account, and transfer £33 a month into that. Then you have the money there if you need it, and you could spend it on something else if you don't. You could also use this fund to pay for her vaccinations (if she has them).
This is exactly what we intend to do as and when we can no longer paying the insurance on ours. Oh, and in case you haven't already, try More Th>n - their quote for our little madam was less than half what Petplan quoted.
