Definately. I never had insurance before but my british shorthair cat was only 8 months old when he collapsed and couldnt breathe. He has a serious heart murmur now and has to be on 2 lots of tablets twice a day plus frequent check ups. Being naive as I paid out alot for him and went to a "so called well known breeder" I didnt think anything like this would happen, definately not while he was still a kitten anyway! Funny thing I had started looking into insurance for him when it happened as it was alot cheaper than I figured it would be.

I think until something like this happens, you always think you'll be one of the lucky ones. Ive had about 5 moggies before him and I never had to take any of them to the vet before.

I'd never be without insurance now.
