Since I've sort of hijacked the thread to get new kitten advice, I'll just compensate you all with cute pictures of said kitten, who I am thinking I might name Newton... but no decisions.
To that point, does anyone have any insight into pet insurance? A friend of mine was just handed a $3500 bill for her dog's dental surgery, and that's kind of got me spooked. But then, her dog was a rescue and the issue was pre-existing, whereas I hopefully will be able to keep this dude in good health. Still, things happen. Thoughts?
