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.
What do you want to do today, Max?
TRY TO GET IN TO THE LIBRARY!! 😼
Max is already in the library.
Max now owns the library, and would like to make some changes.
Change number one: All late fees must be paid in cat treats.
Change two: All dog owners are banned from entering the library.
Max has always been in the library.
Max will always be in the library.
Max should not be outdoors unleashed and unsupervised.
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.
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.
no I live in Europe
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.
But it’s so cute how he tears apart local bird families!
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.
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.
Sounds like it was collecting souls
I wonder what Max did to get banished from the library.
Talking to people loudly?
Solid possibility.
Meow at the door until someone opens it, then not go outside and go back to sleep on someone’s reading material.
Having cats I would bet he peed in the library
Yes, probably, but I want to think in my mind that it was something super chaotic and daring, like a furry super-villain.
Typical cat just knocking things off shelves - the library is an inexhaustible playground.
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…
Meanwhile Max is decimating the local bird population, and risking getting hit by cars.
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.
My cats are perfectly happy indoors cats.
My cat is very happy and healthy indoors and turned 19 this year. Got another 10 in him too.
Let Max in the library!
That grammar is concerning for someone who works at the library.
Don’t let your cats roam. Especially if you don’t want them places they shouldn’t be. It’s irresponsible and there are mountains of data on why it’s bad. But an anecdotal one from me, I live in a c complex in a residential neighborhood, where we often see roaming cats. We also see them dead after they ingest poisoned mice from nearby businesses, and get eaten by coyotes which are not uncommon around here.
Aside from that, it’s just terrible for the environment and ecosystem.
