The necessity of insurance

This is Miu (Star) who is now almost a year old. Miu has had a very interesting year. His family have written to me telling me how important Pet insurance is.
Miu broke his leg in two places after a possible fall/ car accident. Miu needed major surgery and had a permanent pin inserted into the bone to keep the fractures in place. He also needed an frame around his leg called an external fixater to help stabilize the fracture. Miu needed 7 weeks cage rest which drove both him and his family to distraction.
All had been going well with Miu's recovery until the day before he was due to have the external fixater removed. Miu managed to consume Lilly pollens which are highly toxic to cats. Poor Miu needed emetics to force him to be sick and was on a drip for two days.
Miu is now well and bouncing around in his usual lovable but clumsy way. He has apparently just knocked over and smashed a treasured vase. Miu's owners don't mind though, they love him unconditionally. The vets have got to know Miu very well, they say he has a very loving cat but perhaps not the brightest of  felines. The vets bill is near to £2000 and I can guarantee this is one policy that will definitely be renewed.
