Yup. I know cats can do better roaming free than most pets, but that doesn’t mean it’s safe for them, and it’s certainly not safe for the local bird population.
Well, at least can we let Max take out that one bird in the neighborhood that divebombs everybody waiting for the bus? It's all black with a bit of red or orange on it's neck. I don't mind the pigeons, or the sparrows, or the robins, or the cardinals, or the blue jays, or the crows. They can all live..........but lets make that one bird go extinct.
This could honestly be a 90s kids cartoon. Every week Max has a new plan to get into the Library, with the intent of knocking books off the shelf. And every week, the mean librarian has to try to stop his plan.
Ya know, I was trying to avoid the Animaniacs tie-in, because I thought it was a little TOO on the nose.....but yeah, I totally imagined him in that animation style.
I used to work in the ER years ago in a small community hospital, and this neighborhood cat had figured out how the automatic doors on the ambulance ramp worked, and would slip in behind the paramedics and go curl up in the triage chair and wait for patients to come to the window to say hi. She also made rounds of the neighbouring nursing home and hospice on a regular basis.
"Here is nothing missing, but a cat urinated on this during a certain night. Cursed be the pesty cat that urinated over this book during the night in Deventer and because of it many others [other cats] too. And beware well not to leave open books at night where cats can come."
Outdoor cats don't live as long, and they also destroy bird populations that can't recover. If Max's owner truly cared about them they would keep them safely inside...
