5 Reasons Your Indoor Cat Needs
Pet Insurance
It is a common misconception that cats, especially those indoors, do not experience as many medical
problems as dogs and outdoor cats do.
Indoor cats do in fact still incur serious and expensive cat health
care problems.
Cats Are Good at Hiding Symptoms
Cats are more sedentary by nature, which mean that cat
owners are not as likely to notice symptoms their kitties might be
displaying.
Indoor Cats Are Still at Risk
• Thousands of common medical conditions can occur in indoor cats including: cystitis, digestive upsets, cancer, diabetes, thyroid disease, leukemia, kidney failure and even heart disease.
The Cost of Treating Cats is Just as Expensive as Other Animals
Cats tend to have fewer veterinary visits overall, but when they do have an illness
or injury, the veterinarian costs can still be in the
hundreds to thousands.
Pet Insurance Coverage is Cost Effective for Cats
Cat insurance plans can start at just $5 per
month and offer the same coverage no
matter the age of the cat.
Pet Insurance Increases Spending Power
Pet owners who have insurance for indoor cats
will be able to afford
nearly 5 times the veterinary care than
those who don’t.
Cat insurance allows pet owners to budget for their cats’ health care and provides peace of mind in the case of
pet health emergencies and unexpected illnesses
3 Common Reasons Indoor Cats Commonly Have to be Rushed
to the Veterinarian
Eating Objects Around The House
Curious cats can get into trouble while playing with items found in your home. They may play
with–and then eat–ribbons, yarn and string. These can cause internal blockages and often
require surgery to remove.
Toxic Plants
Dozens of indoor plants and even some floral arrangements
are toxic to cats. If the cat ingests them, this can cause an upset stomach, heart collapse, kidney failure and even death.
Toxic FoodsMany food items you have around the house can
cause serious damage or be fatal to your cat. Some examples are raisins, caffeine, chocolate,
alcohol and uncooked dough.
