Over time, public playgrounds have become safer: metal apparatuses were replaced by wood and then plastic, concrete or gravel was replaced by grass and then recycled rubber pellets, and anything that could conceivably present a risk was removed. Kids crave thrills, independence, creativity, and a feeling of accomplishment, which is why you take your kid to a playground and find them climbing the fence instead of the plastic ladder. "Adventure playgrounds" are different. They have building materials and tools for children to design their own equipment. They allow children to take risks while still in a controlled environment, which teaches them how to judge danger. And kids have way more fun.

Still kinda cute, though :)
And it was cute...
Had two kittens (feral) that required bottle feeding. The littlest one had the most fierce "growl", if you will, when it came time to suckle up.
Funny thing is, two years later she's the more timid of the two.
Only watched a bit of it - it just seemed mean.
they can be naturally aggressive around their food bowl unless you get them out of it when they are puppies. essentially the same way as this guy is being with this kitten... except he should be telling it "no" and letting it know it's not a good behaviour.
now our dogs willingly share (tail-wagging included) with anyone who'd want a "taste". :) (makes it a lot safer for unwitting children)
still a cute kitten, tho!
Encouraging aggression in a young cat is no smarter than encouraging it in a dog.
