Two Quick QuestionsFinals week is officially over, which means more time for life! And blogging. I have two quick questions for today, and by next week we should be back to the regular posting schedule.
I was taking out the trash this morning like I do every week. Every time I do this, our cats get scared, and I always get a chuckle out of watching them freak out. I know they're safe, but they can't seem to figure this out despite the fact it's happened once a week for their entire lives and nothing bad has happened yet. Still, they run the same program every time they hear the garbage man, and it's funny. Now here are the two quick questions:
1) Is it a violation of beneficence to behave in a way that frightens another sentient being if we know for certain they are completely safe?
2) Am I sick or twisted for finding amusement in my cats' fears?
