    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.

      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.

          Probably a nest up in the corner of the bus stop. The only time I’ve ever been dive-bombed was by some swallows when they had a nest up in the corner of the house’s porch.

          That bird is doing that cause it got eggs somewhere close by. Or they already hatched. Still want to kill it?

            Yes. Don’t raise your kids at the bus stop if you can’t play nice with the bus people. That bird had ample time to realise that people are always using the bus stop. Bird should have laid eggs somewhere peaceful. Now bird is being an asshole for no reason as a response to its own bad choices. We should kill off asshole birds like that and let the species evolve smarter and less mean.

            Fun fact: a lot of fairy tales have wolves going after humans with a ferocity you will not see in nature. This is because back when those stories were written, they did. However, humans are vindictive. Man-killer wolves would be hunted down with spears and killed. Over time, wolves evolved to be more cautious of humans and less aggressive. And now our wolf problems are solved.

        not every cat hunts birds, and in rural areas it’s pretty safe for them to be outside

          You must not live in North America, because house cats are about half thr diet of coyotes in the US and Canada.

      100%. Cats are fine, but wild birds are better.

      Yep you should make sure to jump out from behind a bush or tree to make sure your cat stays on its toes the entire time it’s outside.

    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.

      Please note that this is not a global problem, and that keeping a cat indoors is also not a solution - just don’t get a cat then.

    Guards. Make sure Max doesn’t enter the library under any circumstance.

    Right, keep max in the library, even if he wants to leave.

    No, no. Keep max out of the library at all times.

    We don’t have to do anything other than keep Max in the library.

    Out of the library…

    Oh, I remember. Can he enter the library with us?

    I had a doggie named Max. He had bat ears. We called him BatMax. He died over two years ago. Now I miss Max.

    Not your fault, obviously.

    This is not fair, why do everyone else’s opinions matter more and are in a larger font? Max can make his own decisions!
