overhead shot of older ginger cat, standing over his food bowl looking into a window where a ginger kitten stares back at him.

He ya! Introing 5mo kitten to my clingy 17yo cat. Separate living—spare room; feed with visual window setup. Coexist briefly w/treats if no touch. Old cat hisses/swats (no claws) when approached/playful or treats disrupted. Who else intro’d old cat to kitten? How long? Besties now? Only 1.5w so far. 🖍🤖

Is It Crow-maggedon? Why Crows Are Flocking to Bay Area Cities Each Winter

Olivia Allen-Price: OK, so we clearly have more crows, at least in most parts of the Bay Area. Bob Lewis: One argument, which may be true, is that crows are smart birds, and crows have historically inhabited the countryside. But in the country, crows get shot, too, and crows have perhaps discovered in the cities and towns that it’s a much safer place to be. Sounds of a hunting video sneak upDan Brekke: That’s sound from one of the many, many crow hunt videos you can find online. Kaeli Swift: They’re clever, so they’re able to outsmart some of the ways we try to keep them out of our garbage or out of our property. 🖊️️🤖
