It’s hard to believe it’s already September, and yes, before we know it, the Holiday Season will be upon us. And with all the cute cat videos that we are all going to be watching as the season turns colder, it’s probably no surprise that so many of the gifts that will be given (aside from the latest iPhone) will be kittens!

Yeah, we had a feeling that you wouldn’t have thought of at least a few of those names. So, now that you have the whole name situation under control, do yourself one more favor and invest in something that’s just as important for both you and your new furry friend… pet insurance. We have several pet insurance providers to choose from, or if you prefer, you can make your decision even easier by simply comparing pet insurance plans. We have plans for dogs and plans for cats, so you don’t have to worry that one of your beloved pets will have to do without. There’s plenty to go around, and around and around and around….don’t get dizzy, you’re not a cat… just a pet parent to a cat.. or two… or more!
