Cats seem a bit withholding with their affection so it can feel like you've earned it, providing not only the physical comfort but the idea that you are worthy of something nice. I also want a cat but my husband is allergic so I got a pair of rats instead. They were free because someone "couldn't afford to keep them" (was a hoarder and voluntarily surrendered them rather than going to jail). I'm happy with my purchase.

Out of all the animals, rats seem like they would be the easiest to hoard.

BWM unpopular opinion x PI crossover time- I totally get people who won’t surrender their animals when they’re financially strained due to sudden job loss or other financial trouble and I agree with their actions. Unless they’re going to be homeless or the animal suffers, keeping the animal is psychologically beneficial to them and to surrender the pet would be emotionally crushing during a vulnerable time.

$3k of firearms (not covered) $10k ring (only $2k covered) $2k in electronics (covered) And a bunch of poo poo that's worth much if anything all, like my phone charger, a 10+ year old laptop that won't start up, a fancy electronic laser dot cat toy, lovely Bluetooth speaker Feels lame that I have $10,000 of coverage but am only getting $2k of stolen $15k reimbursed. Death to America My M2 was parked in the garage with the keys on a ring 10 feet away. They either didn't go in the garage or weren't up for grand theft auto.

Did you actually, you know, read your policy when you bought it? BWM: paying for insurance but not knowing what it covers Edit: condolences, though, home burglaries are loving terrible

I chose the policy 8 years ago when I didn't own any jewelry, and it's standard to exclude firearms from coverage. They usually live in a safe, but of course sometimes they don't make it back in after a range session. I only bought the ring a couple weeks ago because.. reasons

At the very least you can be happy that now you've probably inspired about 50 people to go double check their insurance policies.

I beg to differ  The one I bought was almost $10k, insured for $14k and is probably the greatest decision I’ve made in my life in addition to being GWM (as my salary went from $60k to $150k and hers went from $80k to $110k)

Titanium rings are like $7 and might protect you slightly if squished. What you can't cheap out on is a grill
