to insure or not to insure... that is the question...

Yes - hopefully it will just be a little additional monthly expense for the next 20 years but - but but but but - should she come off worse in a quarrel with a car etc etc (oh I do hope she doesn't) then you know that any worries you might have will be medical rather than financial.

I nearly nearly phoned the insurers to cancel Chester's policy, or at least discuss whether they would be happy to continue to receive premiums for a 'ghost cat'. I decided I'd leave it until after the holiday and probably until the annual renewal (July I think). So glad I left it. Imagine - he could have come home hurt or with some ongoing problem.

Wonder if they'd pay us for the advertising?

A very valid point here DM... at what point do you actually cancel when you baby goes AWOL..too soon and you could find yourself ninsured at a time when you could very well need to be...

I have to wonder if there have been a few people that situation here in the last few weeks... with the bad bushfires that we had here in Feb this year lots of pets were lost or went missing... just in the last couple of weeks there have been stories in the media about cats wandering out of the bush after being given up for dead!

You would think that they could in circumstances like that beable to put your insurance contract on hold for a period of time as a good will gesture.

That would indeed be nice, but unlikely; insurance firms aren't particularly noted for compassion .........
