Awww Emm, I'm really sorry to hear about your cat Did he/she have any vaccinations at all? and how old was your cat when he contracted this awful disease?

It was Tippy Toes I don't know how old she was because we fostered her then decided to keep her she was definately over 10 years old though. She was diagnosed earlier in this year and she died only a couple of months after diagnosis. I have no idea about her vaccinations - the person who had her got her from a cat rescue so I'm guessing they vaccinated her?

My other cats had all had their initial vaccinations but no boosters because I was frightened they would react badly to the vaccinations - but when we found out about Tippy Toes we had to get them all tested luckily it had not spread to them - so I got them vaccinated and they will recieve annual boosters from now on.

It hasn't been that long really since she died but I miss her loads - I feel so much to blame for her dying - I really wish I had done things differently

I haven't had a problem with insurance. I don't insure the cats but if I have ever made a claim on the dog's insurance they have always paid out without quibbling

We have recently made a claim for personal injury for my OH whilst on holiday last month....I'm pleased to say they paid up in two weeks with no quibble...

Emm you are not to blame for Tippy Toes illness. Sometimes things like this happen and for no apparant reason and no one is to blame. Time is a great healer and although you will never forget Tippy Toes, your sadness at this time will turn to fond and lasting memories of her.....{{{Hugs}}} to you
