    Try pet rats. Super intelligent animals who live for a max of 3 years. I have like 10 graves in my back yard. They are heartbreakers.

    Also, if you have cats, don’t get rats. :D

      I’ve wanted s pet rat for a long time. But haven’t for reasons you mentioned.

      I’m convinced if I get a big ass-rat; It’ll live longer. Also I could take on walks hehehe.

      Edit: Upon further review; As I expected these large rats getting loose could mess with ecosystems pretty quickly. Guess I’ll just have to spay or neuter.

      I have 8 graves in my flowerbed, 5 of them rats. I had to stop keeping them because the heartbreak was too much.

      Also if you have rats don’t put up strobe lights for a Halloween party. Dead and dead by the next morning. Oops.
