Scared feral kitten trusts a human for the first time

- Опубликовано: 13 май 2023
- New kittens arrived at the kitty house at the park. They are six siblings. 5 of them were super chill kittens but one of them was scared and hissy. On my watch, I can't let a kitten become a feral cat. So I did my part.

One thing I can definitely appreciate about Turkish culture is that they're literally famous for having, and taking care of, so many stray cats. It's like a cultural tradition for the people there to feed and give affection to their local strays. Absolutely heartwarming. Good on ya Turkey!
Agreed. I believe Same goes for Japanese and Greek people.
@@GeorgeKLSAit’s a blessing
Idiot. Reaching your hand in there just makes a human hand like a threat.
Not to mention their family oriented culture.
LOL. So you don't know any history and nothing at all about Turkey. OK.
Even when they're angry, they're cute.
When they put their ears down they are very cute.
@@Squerl2005that's when there threatened and scared.
@@DNation652yea cute
Just like my girlfriend
@@lifeoftennis1285REAL 😭😭
For everyone watching this: never approach a panicked kitten with your hand so close to its mouth.
I've been in this exact situation, saved a kitty that was very afraid, same age as this one, and it bite my finger so hard in a split second, that he actually severed my nerve and damaged my bone.
Took months to use my finger again, and I was in constant sharp pain for the whole recovery duration...
I've had at least 30 kittens in my life (multiple female cats that got litters), and I really was unaware how strong their bite can be, and how sharp their teeth are. Makes you really realise that when they play fight with you, they're actually very gentle.
Anyway, dont approach your fingers to their mouth until their calmed down.
Yeah I was thinking they should have worn gloves because these babies don’t have vaccinations and you don’t want to catch rabies trying to do a good thing
Where you trying to grab a Cougar Cub?
@@alexcsr6450 I would have had the same reaction as you, until it happened to me.
I've been bitten by small and large cats my whole life, I enjoy playing fight with my cats even if my hand ends up scrached and bitten to blood, I don't mind it.
But man when that kitten bit my finger out of panick, I swear it was like I put my finger in an electrical outlet, I almost fell from the surprising pain. Turned out he severed my nerve and dented my bone.
It's been more than 6months now and I still feel like my finger is a bit weird.
About the kitten, it took a few days for him to not be afraid of me, and then he became the most lovely cat, sleeping against me every night, following me everywhere etc
Still very agressive/dominant with other cats tho
Bro you are so weak a baby cat could injure you that bad lmao
@@kaikart123 my mom told me to never talk with idiots :)
0:41 that’s an aggressive high five
😂😂
😅
Down five
“I dont care how long it takes” simple relatable to every cat lover 😂❤️
Exactly like that’s literally me
Ikr that's literally me.
Hell ya I won’t leave until he or she shows some kind of trust man 😂
😊
People but don't stick your finger infront of a feral cat specially when it's hissing. Calm it down with some food and then ease into it
Seeing the scratchmarks on the guy's hand as he holds the kitten just shows how much he's devoted to helping those scared cats. Truly a blessing for these poor homeless animals.
He held his hand out directly in front of the kittens face on purpose and tapped her paw. He was asking for the scratches.
@@bluebirdoz9055 Getting a little scratched is just part of the process of training a feral kitten to trust people lol. They need to learn that your hand touching them doesn't equate to a threat. Most people at shelters and facilities wear gloves while doing it.
@coolguyjki they're also much smarter than this person and know not to wave their hands in front of a scared feral kittens face. That is not how you teach them touch is a good thing. They only see a giant in front of them with a huge hand waving around. That is not only making the kitten more scared but also putting yourself at risk of hospitalisation from an infection. Shelters and foster carers catch the kittens, take them to a vet to be neutered and vaccinated. The way they slowly tame them is wrapping the kitten in a towel or blanket like a burrito and holding them, gently patting their head without risking getting clawed.
They don’t even hurt btw. Those claws are pretty sharp but it’s definitely not gonna hurt him.
@@bluebirdoz9055you're conditioning the animal to normal treatment and domestication. It is normal. Yes, there are *better* ways to do it, but this is how we've been domesticating animals for thousands of years. I don't know how you can watch this and be negative. It's beautiful.
This is exactly what I love so much about cats. You have to earn their trust. Finally getting a cat to trust you is such a rewarding feeling.
I've never had that. Actually, a kitten just showed up at my house about a month ago and she's been living inside our house since
this goes for all animals
Why rewarding?
@@Qrarurigzargqeshmiyukievi..because you finally get them to trust you, which fills you with accomplishment?
My dad passed away but he left behind a feral cat that he spent a year gaining its trust on his back patio 10 years before he passed.... one day after a year she finally jumped up in his lap and after that it was a lock. She just died in April at 16 years old...far longer than she probably would have lived.
@@user-se4jn3lm4lnobody cares about you
@@user-se4jn3lm4lso how does that benefit us u think we care
Sorry for your loss
Sorry For Your Loss God bless you
you’re a wonderful human being. you changed those cats lives for the better
Why you believe these animalabusers??!
He made the kitten hungry and scared for views
Report please
@@daniellakarenina8634 It's the people who others who are the ones who never offer solutions to help humanity or any animals for that matter; because they themselves usually need help and can't give anything to society. Obviously these animals trust him. I doubt they would trust you.
@@spercoco Maybe not this person, but alot of channels do exactly what was said unfortunately, you have creators exposing these "saving animals" all over the place. I watched people throw a kitty into thorn bushes then make a video pretending they were just passing by when they "saved" the kitty, others dropped down wells, or a puppy that was put near a snake that soon starts constricting him and in come "the saviors". Those animals trusted too.
@@daniellakarenina8634 agreed it’s very suspicious how the kitten is so trusting of him only within a few days i’m pretty sure it takes longer and requires other steps pretty much neglect
@@Tripnotik25 I never understood these tic tockers and people who have time to make videos just to get attention. I guess they are independently wealthy. I have never made a video but I should learn since I teach drum lessons. I've saved many animals but never thought of making a video of it. Usually it just happens and I have to react quickly and the last thing on my mind is taking out my cell phone to capture it on video. So I guess I am just so old school and naive I can't relate to such a person that would do something like that on purpose.
she's like a completely different kitty! all they need is kindness and trust
and food 🙂❤️
Well the sad thing is the distrust was definitely learnt behaviour from other people
@@TheGodLycan Doubt it. She is too young to have experienced a negative human behavior. She was just feral... Without human contact before that. So I doubt your "definitely" proposition.
@@TheGodLycanthat's not true. Though there are possibilities, the cat looks to not understand human contact and view us as a predator/danger which makes sense. To use "Definitely" in this aspect does nothing but hinder what a cat or animal truly goes through.
@@TheGodLycan TRUST is a learnt behaviour and its dangerous for any wild animal. We should leave animals in peace if they are not hurt or they will be hurt by someone... somewhere... someday.
The first kitten has one of the cutest faces. I would adopt him in a heartbeat.
It was a girl
Turkey and their treatment towards cats needs to made an example all over the world. Truly heartwarming and inspirational. Thank you, Istanbul!
I wish more people had this compassion for animals.
I wish people had this much compassion for each other. 🥰
I wish more kittens have this compassion for me💀
For animals of course, but this is just a useless peace of meat given the name „cat“
@@moritz1997meA cat is an animal though...
@@AwesomeYena I explained what I think of cats. For me they are not animals
Food is always the way to go with them. Instant trust... Well, a bit, anyway.😁
“Just like if it was in Minecraft, feed them enough to tame them”
At least with kittens, traumatize an adult and it will take at least month to gain the trust the food got this kitten
Yeah I was just sat there at the start thinking "you're just terrifying him and making it worse, give him some food or something"
They ain't gonna trust you without reason.
My kitty Was abandoned, took 2 weeks before I even saw her in the house.
Now she's a sweetheart, on me none stop snuggling!
For an animal, sharing food is a universal gesture of love. It means you are willing to make your own survival harder to make sure they survive with you.
You are a magnificent human being for caring ❤Thank you for your time and patience to save these precious little kittens. The planet needs more people like you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There is, but it's not known because not everyone who does good deeds feels the need to film it. 🙄😒
That first "hey" at 0:04 lined up so well with the cat meowing I thought the cat was talking.
2:03 That orange cat was the cutest jumpscare!
I actually jumped when I saw that lol
Of course the orange boy was the first one to trust him 🥰 orange cats are the sweetest
@@ExcludedShadow facts
@@ExcludedShadow true, not a single thought in their heads
This reminds me of meeting my kitty. She was only partly feral, afraid of people but with some signs she had been exposed to them before. I Had to get her out from under a bed; she had come inside to share food with our family cat. Then I sat with her in a small room until she was okay with me sitting there, and let me open cupboards for her.
It was two months before she stopped pretending she wasn't following me around my apartment on purpose. Now we've had almost six years together and she is curled up on my desk.
So now she's your owner and made you "pay" for the privilege.
Wow!!! Very Nice! 👊🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
So nice you had a happy experience. Thank you for saving a life.
@@1940limited How can a cat be partly feral?
I don't understand what you're talking about.@@futuramabender2078
I love how at 1:40 you can clearly see the acceptance in the eyes already, so sweet
You're so kind, thank you for helping these kittens💗💗
Eating while angry is the most relatable cat things ever 😂💗 1:29
Right 😂
Yes, I can relate. Every morning I eat breakfast while watching the news. If the news doesn't make you angry, nothing will :)
Lol humans too
Imagine being pat in the nape while eating in the dinner by friends. I would definitely be annoyed
@@DieFlabbergastStop watching the news it’s bad for you
It is so special when a feral cat/kitten starts to trust a human and allows them to pat them. So beautiful ❤️
You can only imagine what they been through to react that way.
los humanos son muy crueles con los animalitos probable mente sufrió de maltrato animal por qué no porque si reaccionan así 😡😡😔😔🤔
"Allow" Do you think that a little kitten the size of a hand is scaring him?
@@JamesRelokare you dumb or just confrontational
@@JamesRelok What?
Just because you don't allow someone to do something doesn't mean they're suddenly afraid of you or are staying away... Wtf kind of pointing out is this?
Seriously, how is allowing/not allowing someone and being scary related at all?
What an absolute kind hearted, amazing human being.
God bless you.
Dudes hands been through it 😂 2:15
My little girl passed away a few weeks ago and I am still hurt.
She was so smart and healthy and thought I had least 8 more years.
Man I really miss her. She was such a sweet cat and very intelligent.
I'm so sorry that you lost her far too soon. Did she suddenly become ill?
In a dream I saw my cousin's deceased cat and tried to pet it but it jumped to avoid me and glided around like it was much more healthy than in his precious life. I was trying to meet up with my mother (deceased)in my dreams but found it instead. Where ever your kitty is, they are probably somewhere wandering or nearby your relatives and is ok. My cousin even confirm that her cat was alright in her dreams before I even had that dream.
i understand how ya feel a bit, my doggo passed away a month ago from cancer even tho he was still not very old. worst part of having a pet is having to say goodbye, but remember the good times you had and they always be with you. much love to your kitty and you 💜
cats can't be intelligent
Adopt another and spread your love!!❤ Many waiting for you.
I love how such aggressive little creatures can get to trust a big scary human if he/she is kind to them constantly.
I’m now a cat lover this is so adorable thank u so much for helping them and being so sweet talking to them mad respect ❤
1:21 growling while eating the food 😻
Thats literally the growling my dog makes when my kitten tries to steal his food
Found a kitten sixteen years ago abandoned in a garden, her eyes were still closed.
I got her to my house and fed her like a baby, making her burp when she was done, making her pee etc... She passed away a week ago, sixteen years old... She was so cute and so lovely, looked like a kitten because she was so small... I never received that much affection from anyone else, I miss her a lot ❤️ rest in peace baby
I know the feeling of that type of loss. Bless you. ♥
I'm so sorry for your loss
A friend gave me a 6 week old ginger tabby kitten in Aug 2012. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Feb 12, 2024. He was in my lap when he passed.
He left a cat shaped hole where my heart goes.
🐈⬛🐈😿🕊️🌈🌉
Look at the sad look in his eyes, that's how scared he is. also 0:14
😂😂😂😂😂
We need more people like this in the world❤❤
It makes me so happy there are people like you out there. Those cats are so lucky to have you
What’s crazy is he could be doing this to collect animals to abuse you literally have no idea
@@big123lak He doesn't collect any of these animals, these kittens are one of the millions of strays on the streets of Istanbul. He's just feeding them and spending time with them.
@@big123lakwhat a weird way to live life.
@@big123lakyou must be so horrendously miserable to be able to take that negative conclusion out of such a sweet video
@@big123lakmental illness
I believe that anyone, everyone who is kind to nature, will one day be rewarded - it will happen. Beautiful video - thank you.
I don't even step on bugs... unless it's a fly that won't leave my house or vehicle after given an opportunity to do so. Then I'll swat them, but only then.
yeah....have you ever fed homeless person?
@@NBUltra187 I was homeless for about 6 years.
@@hannibalheyes339 it's obvious i'm a troll with no life....not necessary to respond
the reward is the action. not some afterlife surprise or other mystical gunk. . Live like life is the reward.
I know how much those deep bites and claw wounds can mess your hands and arms up. I saw a good few on him so you KNOW he spent a lot of time gaining its trust
"I don't care how long it takes"
Persons great-great-great-great daughter trying to calm this cats great-great-great-great kittens: *Finally*
You did awesome with them. Your patience with your voice, and your movement with them was a key factor on your break through. I'm proud of you! It's a lot easier said than done to master those skills. Animals can pick up one's fear's so quickly. It's a gift. Thank you for your work!!
Yes, thank you. You are to be blessed for caring for these precious babies.
Bullshit..the food was the key factor.😅😅
@@RichyRich2607Haha yes, I agree feeding them helped a lot
I've seen hiss but "spit" from kitten is rare -- good thing it didn't scare you away! You're brave. ♡
It's amazing how wild they become so quickly if not exposed to humans.
Spitting is not uncommon if you just stuck your hand in the face of a stressed kitten. This person could've fed it and let the kitten get used to their presence instead of scaring it like that and he would've caused the poor kitten much less stress. But I guess that gets less views than scaring the animal so you can film it attacking your hand.
@@AlrienJDon't be that person, lol. The kitten is fine now.
@@arisboba the kitten is fine, the video is bad
The kitten was scared of something harmless. He was no doubt hoping to see that through repetition, he could show the kitten that his intention was not to harm it. When that didn't break through to the kitten, he left to get food and come back.
This is so cuuuute!! ❤❤ Thanks for taking care of the kittens ❤.
They were yours?
@@javiernunez7255 lol
"you dont have to be a tough guy" thats so cute and funny at the same time... and the way it worked 😭😭😭
1:10 "HISS HISS...his-hey wait that looks pretty good..."
The coat of the female kitten @ 2:37 is simply incredible!
Can you tell it’s female just from the video?
@@dingowizard4139 If a cat has 3 colours is 99% a female cat.
That's a really neat fact I didn't know, thanks!
Tort or a calico tho?
It's very rewarding when you get to do good for another living creature.
Thank you for your kindness!
awwww such a cutie! 🥰 also his siblings! i'm impressed, how fast you were able to turn him from rambo into a softy ❤
Ummm, yes? Because I'm in personal contact with him. He isnt an actor, he really cares for cats on the streets! Please dont judge him without any proofs...
@@natas2350 being an idiot might just be your profession . 🥺😬
@@nintacchi it wasn't judging, the person was doing the opposite - saying how amazing it is
@@nintacchiHow was this judgin? Just delete your comment and never post again!
I can only imagine how scared that kitten was when some giant just walks up to him. It's good to see that he's doing well.
man this video made me cry this is why I could never hurt a cat
It looks like the kitten is giving high fives.
thank you
I like how he says “you can trust me” while the cat sounds like it is saying no 🤣
2:49 just look at the left side of screen
Ikr
Thank You So Much!!!!
Great job. Kindness can do wonders sometimes. We had the same experience with a kitten rescued from the middle of the highway just before it might have been killed. She is now an inside cat and the queen of our house...
1:15 that moment 😊
They are beautiful cats. The compassion, kindness, and love you give to them is humanity in action.
we need more ppl like this 😭❤
Thank you for doing what you do and posting this video, it was wonderful to watch given so much grim news from around the world, sorely needed
These cats are so cute. Wish I could pet them ❤
It hurts me sincerely a neglected animal has to starve, don't trust anyone, die alone. Because in the end we all breath the same air. Thank you brother. This deserves to be a movement worldwide.
We live in a world where people starve, that's just nature.
@@azeemotron indeed ever since our ancient ancestors. It has been noting new basically.
It s called the vegan movement and its getting momentum
His words are truly inspirational. “K H”, and “OUUUUOUUUOOUUU”… Such wise words
You can see that this cat got really dissapointed once at 0:26
You are so patient, gentle, and loving with each little darling. Thanks for all you give to so many! 😍
Aren't you just the Angel...giving these little fur babies a chance at a life without having to claw & fight for scraps of food, fleas & a safe place....thank you for your dedication....
Thank you so much for caring for the kittens...they are precious.
We need more people like you in the world.
I like how animals can go from extreme life threatening terror to ''hey, sweet ... Food has arrived''
Awww the poor little baby is so scared 😢 Thank you for rescuing him and being patient with him ❤
Much respect from New Zealand. Thanks for helping these poor kittys
I hope that all kind of people that torture animals, they put them in danger so they can reach fame out of a fake rescue meet someone worst than them. Thanks for rescuing kitties and giving them love, there's a lot of animals that are being hurt at the world that is something beautiful to see that not all humans are evil.
There's no better feeling than gaining trust of a feral cat. It went pretty fast!
We adopted a 2-3 years old cat, she was not socialized yet, but we took the risk. First few days, or weeks, she spent hidden away from us (behind TV, behind curtain) and she hissed a lot. I was the one who spent the most time with her, speaking softly, petting her with her toys and then I was the first allowed to pet her. Unforgettable.
My own cat passed away last summer. A friend found her with a load of kittens 15 years ago. She hated people and other animals. But I took her home and she became one of the most affectionate and communicative animals out there. When I would speak to her she would talk back. I never understood what she said but yet in many ways I did. I recorded some of the conversations. The hardest thing was to be with her when she had to be put down. You're doing stellar work.
There really are angels amongst us … thank you for your kind heart .. God bless you ❤
Thank you so much for doing this, breaks my heart to see them so afraid
Food is always the winner! He's cute and funny!
What a pure soul enjoying life with his little friends 😊
How nice to see people who care about them ❤
It's nice to meet you, friend. I can't say how precious it is to see you help these little ones learn how to trust! You are their human angel, with unconditional love! Thank you so very much for caring for them and for bringing them a better quality of life experience. I wish you continued success and happiness always.
My suspicious mind always feels like these animals are put into these situations by the very people that end up recording the "rescue".
Now, it's not everyone but it's a vibe I get every now and then.
More than likely.
Same,but I don't get tgat vibe from this guy.
I agree but its a different case in Turkiye, I probably see around 70 cats every day I spend outside. We really do have a lot of cats here and it's not rare to find kittens. Hell, there is a kitten at the entrance to our apartment right now that we take care of daily. Nothing in this video seems out of the ordinary to me.
@@prettyvacant3605 Yea, it's not every person but it's always something I think about when I see these type of videos
@@serillian6742 oh no you are absolutely correct on that! Some of those channels have been caught doing just that! Some very depraved people walking among us 😔
I usually keep the distance from wild cats, when the food is given, it’s better to go away and the cat will relax, he/she will become friendly after a while. But it is nice to see, what such cats do.
Thank tou for your kindness towards these animals 💕🙏
Hahaha that's a cute little fella, It's cute to see him angry but I'm glad he decided to trust you.
Kitty to Human: "No petting until I get some food. In the meantime I am mean and ferocious."
It pays to be patient with these little angels, thank you for taking care of them❤
You are a big heart man,really.Thanks for your kindness with innocent animals.Human beings need more people like you🙏
This video literally saved my life. I was looking at theories and feeling upset, but this video made me cry with happiness. Thank you
Imagine what would she have gone through to be this scared of humans 😢 💔
It's instincts, because we are big and they are tiny
InsaneFanta that's possible, but I have fostered dozens of kittens and none of them are This terrified unless they've been abused
@@swiftiekitty. That's because this kitten is feral, I've fostered many kittens. And those kittens are always around humans, the kitten is FERAL
I think it's instinctive in cats born outdoors with no exposure to humans.
@@swiftiekitty.I tend to think this kitty was abused in some way, too. Feral cats & kitties hiss and claw at things that frighten them, but they don’t FALL OVER in fear! Seeing her stumble and fall and squeak out a hiss broke something inside of me and I had to reach out to my own fur baby for comfort!
You're a godsend for both the kittens and the people who care about them. Thank you ❤
You are an incredible human being for this. Thank you for being you.
Seeing those cats on the street hurts my heart. They're so precious and innocent
Such a precious kitty, thanks for helping it. If you are watching this please consider supporting the channel.
Such a pretty little kitty ❤ Idky but I always get emotional when I see these videos of people's kindness and compassion for animals. They are the best
I know exactly how you feel. I have befriended many feral cats, and still feed many of them daily. I've made a lot of friends, and nothing compares to what it feels like when they give you their trust. It's an amazing feeling, very heartwarming and pure!
Peace from California!
Reminds me of someone who took care of me and all I could feel was fear and anger. I so grateful that there are people with kind hearts.
She Finally Trusted You...Must Have Made You Feel Really Good
Awwww, ty for helping them!!! ❤ They are adorable
❤❤❤ thank you so much for loving a kitten that has never felt love 💕 u r a love whisperer 🐈⬛ 🐾
Thank you for the work you do.
That is so sweet... You're absolutely wonderful. I feel like as long as cats live on the streets they should never learn to trust humans. Not all humans are as kind as you are and do horrible things to kitties😭
Fr some people are evil
Heart warming to see good people helping animals in need.
Thank you for caring for this beautiful angel.
Great job guys y’all hung in there until that little guy saw you all were there to help them. I wish there were more people like you guys. Thanks
