:? On a another cat board that I belong too, one of the members has lost 3 cats in the past three weeks. One of the cats had been dealing with cancer for the past two years and had undergone chemotherapy. The cats owner was lamenting that he hadn't done enough to help his kitty. He said he had spent over $20,000 on the cat's treatments over the last two years.
Hearing what this man has done for his cats has made me wonder whether I really am a good cat mom. I can't afford those kind of treatments for my girls. Nor do I think I would be willing to put my cats through that if there wasn't a good chance of the treatments working.
Would I be considered a horrible person if I set a monetary limit to what I do for my cats' healthcare?
But...I am looking into pet insurance. Non-animal fanatics scoff at the idea of pet insurance. But with my current situation it seems like a good idea to me. I would pay a little bit every month towards insurance that would then pay for just about any injury or illness that may occur. Seems like a nice compromise to me.
What are your thoughts on this?
