Getting mixed answers: Window bird feeder. Fun or cruel?

Last summer we placed a window bird feeder and it was very popular with the birds. Our cat is extremely well behaved and relatively active, we play with her in a variety of ways and she has a good schedule that she likes to adhere to. She’s on a weight loss journey monitored by her vet so she’s a healthy girl. We became unsure about the feeder when after weeks, she hadn’t stopped pouncing at it. She would pounce several times a day at the window. It didn’t seem she was hitting her face but we couldn’t tell if she was having fun or frustrated. Sometimes we put the blinds down to prevent her from being able to see if she was pouncing quite a lot. The birds are back this year looking for the feeder and we’re hesitant. Is it cruel and frustrating like a laser pointer? Is it OK if she still gets the satisfaction via playtime? What do you guys think ? I’m finding completely opposing answers online and now I’m confused.

Help with interpreting S4789 instructions! Sewing “view B” jumper

Edit: Got it! Thank you angels 😊😊😊

Hi friends, I’m stuck on this step that’s asking me to attach the zipper. I just can’t visualise it. Question 1, do I sew the zipper:
A. Upside down on the folded edge or B. Right side up? Both sides of the back have this seam folded. Question 2, I’m confused about it asking me to then go over the zipper 1/8”. Is the other side of the zipper then not sewn close to the folded part, but 1/8” away? I’m a quilter so not inexperienced with a sewing machine but really wanting to learn to sew clothes :) the only zipper practice I’ve had so far are with pouches.

please also note this is just a practice piece using scraps, so please ignore the not PERFECTLY cut edges and not-matching zipper lolol. Thank you!

I don’t prefer the “sew a whole wardrobe in 24 hours with me” or “sew a whole closet in 48 hours” videos. I’m looking for YouTubers like Frieda Lepold who go more into couture but more importantly show the making of one piece and focus on one solid, well-made garment through completion. Literally the closest I’ve found are those Korean suit-making or Hanbok-making videos but those don’t have any speaking usually, but thankfully they have translated captions most of the time noting the process. Anyways, just looking for more channels to learn and satisfy my sewing urge through the work-day lol.

I’m also recalling a gal who has a dark academia/goth aesthetic that does similar videos, I know I’m subscribed to her but I can’t recall her name at the moment. She does really cool historical pieces and stuff too. Please send your recs :)

bonus points for any creators who show their sewing mistakes in their videos and how to fix them, I love that kind of stuff.
