    FVT: feline vibrational therapy. Simply apply a purring cat to the injured area. Not the same as CatUpuncture, when the feline is "Kneading Biscuits" on a sore or injured area. Not advised for open wounds or bandaged areas, but in the right circumstances, it can be very beneficial for the thick-skinned.

I'm waiting for her to outgrow her rebellious stage and relax a little and bond with me, but until then and forever after I'll protect and care for her

    I never had a cat before but one was eating from garbage I had put out for morning a few times. I took him in because winter was coming. I gave it to my niece and her mother gave it back because it would just hide under the bed. I slowly gained it trust but after a few months it became very ill and almost died. Afterwards it was a different cat that wanted to be near me all the time even when I go to bed it wants to sleep under my chin with his head in my beard. But it will still go to no one else.

Very affectionate rubbing on me and reaching for me to touch her 99.99% of the time. But twice over her 4 years with us ( we got her as an infant her mom was hit by a car) she has gone nuts and full on attacked me while im walking around house trying to do something. Not sure what set her off i dont mean just a bite 2nd time i i actually went to er i was bleeding so much. We try to keep her nails capped but of course they fall off over time

    Oh, my neighbour's strays eat 'natural': they decimate my garden-rat colonies and afterwards come for a taurine-stick, and leave to hunt again. They only leave the intestines for me to clean up. (And if I don't dig those in, quickly, the rats come and cannibalize on the remains of the members of the neighbouring colony. - Animals are so... so... ugh.)

  • @MagnaMater2
    @MagnaMater2 6 дней назад

    I live beside a large regional street on the countryside and had some 40 cats as a kid, until we decided we won't have cats anymore, they hardly surviving a year. Last week one of our neighbour's cats walked in our house looked through every room, demanded loudly each door to be opened, checked each room for rats and mice-hideouts, tested some beds and chairs. And then occupied mine. I called the neighbour, who took the cat home thrice with its basket (she has another cat who faught the second cat, that was a stray people had dropped at her place). Learned that it had been testing out all other houses in the area. When I open the door at midnight she will sit in the sunchair, jump up, walk into the house between my feet walk straight into the cellar to check if there is still catfood reserves (I had a deal with another neighbourcat, it disrupted: a dead gardenrat in exchange for salmon or pheasant, but the new cat eats the dead rat AND the salmon), then it walks up to my bed, where it will sit down and wait for me to go to bed. Then it will wrap itself around my arm. A week of sleepless nights, because I don't dare to move, it being not only a howler, but also a fighter and biter. - I have been conquered and enslaved.

    Our cat used to wrap up dead birds or mice in my rag rug. When I came downstairs in the morning, if the rug was all scrunched over, I knew I had a dead present lol. If it was laid out straight and flat as normal, she hadn't caught anything for me the previous night. It was really handy to know. If it was scrunched and there was nothing wrapped in it, then you know you have to hunt for a mouse in the house, just in case. She was pretty lethal though, to be fair - we never saw anything live brought in.

    My cat is obsessively attached to me it’s crazier than preschoolers being attached to their mommy’s if at all. My cat even follows me to the bathroom. I love her so much. She is so well behaved, I can cuddle her for hours grab her carry her, rub her tummy nose and she never hisses or bites. The best thing is trimming her claws is so easy because she just lies there relaxed and chill until I’m done. I’ve seen cats who go psycho on their owners when they touch their paws let alone trim their claws.

  • @re12evil
    @re12evil 8 дней назад

    The trick is to make the cat adapt to you. Most of these are big yes, some are a "no." 1. Belly rubs - yes, but I don't "rub" it. I just gently place the palm of my hand on their belly (and I have big hand, so it's like a big blanket). My cat likes that a lot. 2. Morning cuddles - no. My can senses that I'm stressed trying to get ready to go to work in the morning, so she doesn't get in the way. At best she affectionately rubs her back on my dirty underwear before I throw it in the dirty laundry basket. But coming home from work - now there is a welcoming committee every day! 3. Keyboard takeover - oh, my cat is trained in that regard. She never gets "on the keyboard", she lays down between the keyboard and my screen. I get to cuddle her and play games/watch youtube videos at the same time. 4. All the classics are there: trusting sleep, purring, lovely stares and "making biscuits". Although this last one is VERY uncomfortable/painful if you don't cut her claws regularly. But if that last one is the case, my cat quickly understands this and just lays on me with her paws folded inward.

    • @wiseanimalschannel
      @wiseanimalschannel 5 дней назад

      How old is the kitten? How many months together? Sometimes they grow out of these habits. For sure you must teach him what is right and what is wrong. When he is too aggressive, make sure you say 'NO' and withdraw. He will start associating the reaction with something he should top doing. Also use plenty of positive reinforcement when he is well behaved. It might be that he was separated from mom cat too early ... so you have to be his mom ❤️

    The first thing my afraid-of-humans cat did (months after he was brave enough to get out from under the couch), before he even allowed us to come closer, let alone touch him, was jumping onto my bed. He was just there, at the end of my bed and I wouldn't dare to move a muscle.
