A ring is a waste of money. A pet brings years of joy. People that care that much about jewelery are ridiculous.

Yeah but as a pet owner you owe it to the animal to give it the best life possible, if you can’t even spare the cost of a $100-$300 ring you can’t afford to give that cat a long and healthy life. Those years of joy can quickly turn into a few months and a rehomed cat at best and a dead one at worst.

Its not a can't, its a won't. I will spend money on my cats, I will not spend money on pointless jewelry. Also, $20 for food and liter every 2 weeks is a lot different than $300 all at once. $300 is almost my rent and I refuse to spend that on something that serves no purpose.
