  • Uh no, you don’t need siblings that grew up together to have multiple cats. I have a tabby and a Russian blue that get along wonderfully, and there are thousands of other examples you can find online… like what? There are people with 4+ cats in the same house, you think they all got them from the same litter?? I’m not going to say it always works out, but it’s very doable if you introduce them to each other properly.

    You having the same exact experience with two different cats and chalking it up to them being “mental” makes one wonder if the problem is the cats at all. You describe your former cats as only getting zoomies “once in a while” or once in the morning and once at night, which suggests you’ve never had a juvenile cat, or you had one that was oddly lacking in energy. Young cats are terrorists if you don’t get the energy out, and yes, that means playing with them past the point of you being tired.










  • Well usually it’s because the rewards when in points are usually a much better return than 1:1 or 2:1, which seems to be the best you’ll get for cash back in most cases. Obviously, you can do more to get 3:1 or even 5:1 with cash but at that point you’re jumping through almost as many hoops.

    I tend to do cash back, but after learning about how to best take advantage of points through a couple of well known experts, I’m eyeing a travel card because I travel a lot both for work and personally, so points are a good idea for me.

    That’s not even to get into the concept of churning, which I don’t do and wouldn’t recommend if only for how annoying it seems to keep up with, but I’ve seen some pretty crazy points exploits by friends. When they started to explain the steps to get there though it sounds exhausting and I wonder if any of them still do it.



  • I have and still enjoy my fold, but I took into account the cost of insurance when I got it because I knew the inner screen was susceptible to damage. Had it for two years and just having some minor issues at the edge where it folds now, probably going to about land close to evenly on the cost to insure over the 2 years vs out of pocket repair. They are getting better with the tech tho, and with wider adoption I expect repair costs to decrease in the future. Triple folds are now going to be the area where you’re asking for trouble.
