Yeah, they love it. They didn't touch my last chair. This one's already covered in fur.

Is... is this not the traditional method of showing approval/affection?

Apparently on Youtube you can't put kid's content on your Watch Later list or any other. Why?

Don't know the specifics, but Youtube made some changes to how stuff flagged as kid's content is treated not too long ago. If you watch it on a phone or tablet then it won't play kid's content in the miniplayer mode either.

Might be something to do with the flak they've been getting for letting shitty content keep getting highly recommended by the Youtube Kids algorithm.

The core point is that the entire thing people are asking for isn't viable. We want to upload whatever videos we want, instantly, no restrictions, yet somehow have everything perfectly moderated, for free. And we don't want the channels we like to ever get any content strikes, only the channels we don't like. The concept just doesn't work. It's a crazy thing to expect anything like that to work. Either they're too draconian and people get pissed that their favorite channel or videos got taken down and/or they're too lenient and they should dalek-exterminate all the channels we don't like in a hail of fire. At the same time.

People aren't willing to pay what it would cost for human moderation for Youtube. The same people who generally say "youtube should do something about all this bad content" also tend to go "oh hell no" to the idea that they should, for example, have more adverts to pay for something like that. The reason it works for broadcast TV is that everything is curated and from known sources. Something where people just upload "whatever" can't possible by cleaned up to broadcast TV levels of sanitization without forcing people to pay a lot more for the service, one way or the other. The only way it would be viable is if they end up with only "approved channels" and have a very low bar for striking out and getting your channel canceled.
What does this have to do with a Watch Later list, though?

Because, they've had issues with a small amount of inappropriate kid's content then instead of having humans clear it up they've basically quarantined everything labeled "kids content" off from everything else. So you can't include it in lists or any of that. This is probably to prevent you making a list and include some kid's content along with inappropriate content then saying "look kiddies watch my playlist". The fallout of that is that you can't even include kid's content in your own personal Watch Later list.

So you'd think that the solution would be to flag inappropriate content and remove that, but that's not going to work, due to the ability of someone to upload stuff that hasn't been filtered/curated and then include that in a list which also includes kid-friendly stuff. So what they did instead is flag all kid-friendly stuff and put that in a separate sandbox. Which makes sense. There's now a white-list of kid-safe stuff rather than a black-list of non-kid-safe stuff.

They've done a weird job of it. Clips from adult oriented cartoons like American Dad, Family Guy and South Park and so on seem to be flagged as kid's content.

No, they're lazy assholes. They vomit where they lie. They like to lay on the new chair, ergo it now has vomit on it.

They have been to the vet. I guess the vomiting is just normal for them.

Yes and no.

A cat that vomits every once in a while doesn't have a health problem necessarily, usually it's just a response to eating something that has for some reason upsetted its stomach. Removing that from its diet/environment is more than enough to fix it.

I say vomit but it's mostly hairballs. We've tried pretty much all hairball control things available. Vomit only happens if we put dry food out too soon after wet. The chubbier of the two assholes loves to gorge himself.

How often do you clean their food and water dishes? If it's less than daily, they're probably swallowing too much hair.

Me bud's dad had a cat that kept jumping up next to the window right next to his bed and scratching it to get in at night, even through cat was trained to use the perfectly available and functional cat door.

So friend dad (who has a career in STEM) put some foil on the sill and hooked it up to a car battery with a dimmer switch. The cat disliked this effect and used the cat door again.

Disclaimer: He was very careful to set it up so that the cat could not actually be injured. Repeat, the cat was fine.
