Title: "Indoor" cat insurance
Post by: Queen-Penguin on August 28, 2007, 00:26:44 AM

Hi all

Just wondering if there is an insurance company out there who understands that not all cat are indoor cats and understands that indoor doesnt mean outdoor!! I rang up Argos pet insurance and asked about this and they didnt understand that Menue didn't go outside! In the end, I took up one of the Silver plans they do.

Its not too expensive, but I thought I should get her covered "just in case" as you never know what could happen.

In America I believe you can get indoor only policies, but not - as far as I'm aware - over here.  Maybe it will happen one day.

Iv just looked at what silver covers and its £1000 per condition for 12 months. Thats not very comprehensive, do you mind saying what they are charging you for that?   :shy:

I've got an Argos policy for Bella and it's £6,000 per condition and only costs £3.84 per month - I seem to remember that the Silver option wasn't much cheaper?  As a warning, Bertie is an indoor cat but once escaped from the house and rushed straight into the path of a reversing car, resulting in a £3,000 insurance claim.
