It is possible as people who've just adopted a MC kitten might take out health insurance and then years later when the premiums have gone up they cancel it.Michael Broad LLB, ARPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519409844284574079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636787988998822209.post-13007092943040353272023-07-26T21:42:34.167+00:002023-07-26T21:42:34.167+00:00Could it be that owners of a young MC are more lik...Could it be that owners of a young MC are more likely to pay for needed surgery than owners of older & other breeds of cats?

If a cat breed is predisposed to a disease, it is likely to an inherited condition. I'd watch and wait and see what happens. As for the food allergies being a cause, they might but I don't believe Michael Broad LLB, ARPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519409844284574079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636787988998822209.post-57856036298163291952023-03-06T10:28:27.727+00:002023-03-06T10:28:27.727+00:00I lost my 7 month old mc this month to intuhcuhcep...I lost my 7 month old mc this month to intuhcuhceptions which the vets said was idiopathic. He survived the op but had post operative complications of peritonitis.
