PET INSURANCE?!?!?!? There are hundreds of millions, if not billions, of starving PEOPLE around the world and people actually buy insurance to offset the potential cost of expensive surgury?! It is a frikkin cat/dag - why not put it down when it is that sick? Putting it down has to be less of a crime against your humanity/god then spending that much on a pet instead of a starving child?!

Way to have an open mind. For many people, their pets are like there children. A person can have the same attachment to an animal as they do a person.
Having said that....if my cat needed a $4000 operation....I would not be paying for it unless I was filthy rich. I have paid on one occation where a raccoon attacked my cat, about $700 in vets bills over the course of a year. I think that is pretty reasonable for years and years of companionship.
