love when you stop a cat from doing something and instead of understanding that they shouldnt be doing that theyre just like. ah sorry my good sir you seem to have interrupted me. no worries let me just shimmy past you and get a taste of that pan of hot oil. please.
As someone who owns cats that will run away if you get up while they are eating from another cat’s bowl, but not while they are eating from their own bowl: I am more inclined to agree with the posts that say “cats understand the concept of sin”.
sometimes when they see you coming they do the naughty thing faster (eg: when trying to steal an object they cant quite reach, or trying to eat all of something). they realize you’re going to stop them, but their thought process doesn’t reach the conclusion of “I shouldn’t be doing this”.
instead they’re like “I guess there’s a time limit to my task now. but god as my witness I’m gonna complete it.”

Hey kids! When this happens, which it does a LOT, you call your states insurance commissioner’s office and file a formal complaint! Make sure you get a reference number for EVERY. SINGLE. CALL. you make, save every form of correspondence (email and mail) AND retain a copy of all your responses. If they stonewall you (That’s not a covered service, we’re not allowed to disclose that, etc) request a copy of your benefits, insurance is a CONTRACT and is legally binding.
Download a call recording app if you can, even if you can’t share the recordings at first they can be useful for your reference and can be presented if you need to go to court.
I work with insurance companies all day everyday and have so for almost a decade. I trust them as much as I trust my dog to watch the Thanksgiving turkey. Approach each interaction with them *like* it’s going to go to court.
