Most Expensive Cat Medical Problems

The following feline medical costs were assembled by a pet health insurance company:

Swallowed objects $1600
Urinary tract surgery $1400
Rectal cancer $1000
Bladder stones $1000

Although it appears that cats requiring surgery for swallowed objects, including hairballs, have the highest medical expenses, in the long run, cats with bladder problems are going to have greater life-time expenses. Bladder problems are more expensive long term because they tend to be reoccurring problems.
