Life hack: when your cat dies, instead of paying for a funeral, wait for your neighbor to go on vacation, kidnap their cat, and tell them their cat died instead! They'll pay for the funeral, and a few days later you can release their cat so no harm's done.

Bonus: your neighbor's cat, who is oblivious to the economic aspect to all this, gets showered with pets and treats, and your neighbor gains a new appreciation and enjoyment of their cat.

This is truly an altruistic act.

The gift purchases also stimulate the local economy, ultimately creating jobs. It's a win-win.
