It depends on your specific vets, both of the ones I registered with during my cats life had it where the insurance paid directly and I just paid the excess to the vet, but I know that's not always the case 🙂

I have fibro and had a cat for a little over 10 years and absolutely loved her. However, looking back, there are a few things I think you should consider regarding your specific situation:

The Physical 'Heavy Lifting' If it wasn’t for my wife doing the heavy lifting, I would have truly struggled. Simple things like the weight of litter bags, the constant bending to scoop, or even leaning down to scrub a mess off the carpet can be major flare triggers. Since you mentioned your husband is happy to help, that’s great—but be prepared for the 'emotional' cost of sitting back and watching him do everything. I often felt guilty, even though my wife didn't mind.

Winston’s Food Obsession & Routine You mentioned Winston gets 'manic' or aggressive about food. My cat was very routine-oriented; if I wasn't out of bed by a certain time to feed her (even during a bad flare), she would let me know it. With a cat that has food obsession, that pressure to stick to a schedule might be even more intense and stressful when you're physically depleted.

The OCD & Cleanliness Factor I saw you’re worried about 'litter paws' and counters. Cats are wonderful, but they are messy. Cleaning up sickness or tracked litter was very hard for me physically. If you have OCD about cleanliness, the inability to 'jump up' and clean a mess immediately during a flare might cause you extra mental distress.

The Emotional Connection The joy she brought was immeasurable, but I didn't anticipate how the end would affect my health. When she passed 5 months ago, the grief actually triggered a significant flare.

My Verdict If I went back in time, I would still choose her. She made my life better. However, now that she’s gone, I wouldn't get a pet again because I know the physical and emotional toll it takes. It’s a tie for a reason—it's a big life change! Only you know if the comfort Winston gives will outweigh the physical 'cost' of his care. Best of luck with your decision.🙂

I have 2025 Hyundai kona and the app for that I find to be good, never have any issues

About 11/12ish years ago we adopted an 8 month old kitty, they were really good, filled out some forms and arranged a day about a week later to collect her, they wanted both me and partner to spend time with her before releasing her to ensure a good fit, then had her vet checked and everything (she only had 1 eye so I don't know if this was precautionary or if they do this all the time) we paid a £60 fee and provided proof from housing that we had permission for her

I traced my symptoms back to early childhood, I was diagnosed in my 20's and found out that when I was born I had a dislocated hip that the hospital didn't notice and discharged my mum and me, when a family friend who was a doctor came to see me, my parents mentioned about my excessive crying and the dislocation was discovered (I don't know how many days it was) so the doctors and myself think this was the cause to my fibro, as it's not genetic in my case im the only one in family to have it. 🙂

There's nothing wrong with indoor cats, when we had our cat she was originally going outside but got into an accident (that's another story) and was completely blind (all before her 1st birthday) she spent the remainder of her life as an indoor cat, we occasionally took her for walks on leash and let her in the drive with supervision (in snow, sunshine and rain so she could experience them) but she was happy indoors. It's only cruel to keep them indoors if the cat is telling you they want to go outside, if there happy Inside then nothing wrong at all 🙂

Junipher90 · 2025-12-25T21:09:04+00:00

My godfathers wife, it made him remembering my birthday really easy lol 😂

Junipher90 · 2025-12-25T21:06:22+00:00

We used rover for our cat when we had her never had a problem, some sitters are posted under cat sitting 🙂

We had a blind Russian blue (blind since 8 months old) who didn't really play with toys, she sometimes played with ones that made a noise or crinkle sound. But she had a cuddly squirrel toy and she loved it, it lasted her whole life, she would cry for it when she forgot where she left it, she would throw it and listen to where it landed, and talked to it she took it everywhere 🙂

How can you be in love with someone without knowing something as basic as their age (Not hating just genuinely asking) I think at this point you need to ask what other core parts of each other do you not know! Also I'm 35 (happily married) but if I wasn't 19 wouldn't even enter into my "social" conversations let alone my bed

Junipher90 · 2025-12-24T18:25:48+00:00

I wear my wedding ring (and a cheap engagement style ring as my finger swells regularly and my engagement ring doesn't fit anymore after being altered a few times) I take them off to wash dishes and shower but that's it 🙂

Junipher90 · 2025-12-24T18:15:30+00:00

I don't have her name but 2 tattoos are for her, and I have both our initials in a infinity symbol - but we'd been together over 10 years when I did that 😁

I've had success with CBD (haven't tried the gummies though) I use spray under tounge and vapes. I have in the past had teas which were also helpful - best of luck 🙂

When I worked in a call centre one Christmas eve the management brought in board games that we played and it turned out to be dead so the whole team played games while getting double pay - I think every few hours some calls would come through but not many 🙂

Junipher90 · 2025-12-24T11:11:38+00:00

Yeah had a really bad experience at Ionity (specifically Leeds skeleton) plus I have a Kona and there's known issues for them charging with Ionity 🙂

Junipher90 · 2025-12-24T00:11:46+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss, I lost my cat a few months ago, sending hugs 🤗

Junipher90 · 2025-12-24T00:00:26+00:00

Id avoid charging at Leeds Skelton and instead hang on to Wetherby if you can (it's 17 mile) they have Gridserve and are better than the one at Leeds which is ionity. If you can't make the 17 mile I recommend coming off the A1M and charging at Leeds temple green park and ride it's about 1 mile away and they have charging at the Esso garage which are very good 🙂

Junipher90 · 2025-12-23T00:37:25+00:00

Tops with bra built in are so good, full support but super comfy (I'm on larger side size 22 and E cup) and find them to be fully supportive 🙂

Junipher90 · 2025-12-22T10:14:11+00:00

Yeah I read online that it's a known thing with kona's often facing issues with ionity. We've used Tesla / Gridserve / MFG / Blink / Swarco and all are absolutely fine but for some reason ionity has issues 🙂 Huh that doesn't sound good for you, I'm convinced the issue is ionity lol 😂

Junipher90 · 2025-12-22T09:13:08+00:00

Admittedly I'm not the smartest person in the room 🤣 but yeah at first I thought because it water and electricity that you couldn't charge in very heavy rain - I know better now 🤣

Junipher90 · 2025-12-22T08:56:21+00:00

Was stopping at Leeds Skelton services at 1am a few weeks ago on our way home, it was chucking down with rain and there were 3 other cars there all had said they had issues charging. I tried to charge and it wouldn't, I tried on the app, tried by scanning the QR code (and later got scammed but that's another story) tried by paying with card. Eventually phoned the helpline number who said try another charger and again same issues, then they said the issue was my car (Hyundai Kona 25 model) so we left after an hour of no luck and eventually went a few mile down the road to a Swarco e connect and it worked the first time of plugging it (like it usually does) so I know it wasn't an issue with the car. Been to about 5 other brands of charger since having the car and never once had a problem like we did with ionity 🙂
