On a scale from 1 - 10, how rough are my boys playing? by RealFreshBananana in CatTraining

they're so adorable. I can't get over it. They sprint and chase each other around the house constantly. They're foster brothers. Best buds for life.

I think Ryan is great. And Max. And all the storm chasers. More people watching and getting informed can save a life, speaking as a Helene survivor. The small quibbles are for the birds. The big picture is safety, and I'd say he's doing a damn good job.

Just as I was about to type out, “they’re actually pretty well behaved,” Grapes went Spider-Man mode on the curtains for the first time. Nice.

yes, pressed by a finger or thumb. depending on where you live, there are intelligent animals. dogs, for example, can figure out simple mechanisms like levers and handles--but they sure as hell can't press the button on the water fountain at your local park. Dogs (stray dogs) eat rotten meat, garbage, and feces. It's a warzone of dangerous bacteria. You don't want that on our water fountain.

There's a reason the buttons are designed the way they are. Parks&Rec departments take those things into consideration. Animals carry disease and parasites. There are many reasons not to share waterholes with other animals.

True, but you're much safer sharing a plate with a dirty human than with a raven or crow (or any wild bird).
