There’s no need to flex bro. Nobody on the internet cares how smart you or your cat are.

That is super helpful to know, thank you! When they’re busy they’ll often put me on hold and are very apologetic about it, but I’m good. They need to take care of the emergencies first; I can wait for my info.

Yeah. Way less maths to deal with.

In my area, the non-emergency numbers now just go to 911. You have to have the direct number for a particular person or you are just going straight to 911 dispatchers and you have to tell them who you want in what city. It’s super annoying. I’m not trying to tie up 911 every time I need to talk to someone (daily in my job).

I have a crazy 80 lb dog and a combat veteran husband with ptsd. He doesn’t sleep much and instantly goes on patrol if the dog starts barking in the middle of the night. Honestly, if someone broke into my house, good luck to them. Everyone else’s suggestions are more reasonable, but those are mine. Get yourself a large crazy dog and a combat vet.
