Dog Person Lives With Cat for 2 Weeks

- It's pretty much as the title says! A dog person lives with a cat for 2 weeks! I'm the dog person, and as a dog person I often ask 'why do people like cats?' and 'What is a cat person?' Will my two weeks living with a cat turn me into a cat lover?
The war between cat people vs dog people has gone on for too long and it's time to weigh in and answer once and for all which is best!

It takes away from the fun of the video a little to spell it out but just wanted to cover a few things.
The owners told me the cat was allowed milk as a treat in small doses
The owners told me the cat was so laid back there was no way it would react to a cucumber and thus would be funny
The owners said they once saw their cat get into one of their bowls of ice cream and not react, therefore knew it wouldn’t get brain freeze
Of course people can like both dogs and cats
@Robert Pedersen Can concur, Maine Coons are confirmed cat-dogs :D
@Robert Pedersen Or a cat-dog, Shiba Inu
Btw, proper grammar would be that a Main Coon would be a dog-cat, not cat-dog (ik this wasn't at all necessary to say this but-)
Or a dog-cat, a Chihuahua.
The cucumber thing... My cat reacted the same way like Poupin
She knew you wanted her to do something.
Dog people hate cats, cat people are okay with dogs.
Hmmmm. This might be true in some cases but I know a few cat people who can't stand dogs. Probably true in general
@@JohnRochford I love dogs, other people’s dogs lol they are too much for me
i love dogs! i once actually had a dog! i am a cat person
@@luck_0p975 oops sorry thank you for pointing it out tho 😂
It’s actually the other way around (most times) coz I always see comments like “watch your mutt or watch it die” or “dogs are disgusting monsters and all they do is shit and bark” ;-;
DONT TREAT CATS AS IF THEY ARE DOGS
Well, how can we still how they're feeling. Body language isn't really easy to tell at times, you know.
Right? Cats won't play if they don't feel like it. And they need their own space, of course she wasn't super excited about him being around all the time. I was like "leave the poor cat alone, for Bastet sake!"
@@ChelseatheCreativeFox-pc2xz Just something you will learn if your around them for a while
I've had several cats that are actually dats. Mostly cat, but some dog there as well.
@@ChelseatheCreativeFox-pc2xz the position of the ears, eyes, and tail are important indicators of a cats mood. Ears flat and pointing back, wide eyes indicate fear or surprise for example. When cats slowly blink at you or flop and expose their belly it is an indicator that they trust you (you can do a slow blink back at them, but do not touch the belly no matter how tempting it is).
You can like both cats and dogs. Dogs just take more time and space than cats, so owning both isn’t always practical. And spending time with someone else’s cat is like trying to watch their children - there won’t be love and trust right away. Having your own cat is always different.
Yep! I didn’t like cats at all till I got one of my own. Now I love this little guy.
AGREED..I am tired of all this black and white cats versus dogs. In America about a third of the population owns BOTH. Lot of landlords will let people have cats tho more so than dogs but I am SICK of people saying you cant love BOTH..Geez. I love your comments
i grew up with two cats and three dogs. when my mom walked the dogs and pushed me in my stroller the cats would join us for one or two blocks and then circle back to our house.
Personally, i love both, but I'm a lazy couch potato so unless there is someone in the house to provide a dog with adequate daily walks - and my mom has set that bar very high, she still gives our family's dogs min 3 hrs of walks a day - I'm not going to get one. For myself I'd only get a cat. Minimal pet care effort for maximal entertainment turnout.
@@Buttercup-vw2zo- Yep.
@@1983simi - Yeah, I had a cat that liked to walk with the dog and I. When the three of us walked by a neighbor's house, he said, "you should put your cat on a leash because she beats up my cat." That was because when he let her out, she was tethered to a stake in the front yard. So weird...
He also had a sweet beautiful husky that was chained to a doghouse in the backyard 24/7. Even in blizzards. Luckily, there was a chain link fence behind the property, so people walking their dogs and children playing at least would visit her. She loved it.
So, anyway shortly after the jerk dude confronted me, my cat came home with a bb shot in her butt.
When a cat "glares" at you it's actually comfortable. Closed or half closed eyes signifies they feel safe around you. Wide open eyes suggest fear or other any heightened specfiic attention.
When a cat glares at me I am uncomfortable 👀
When my cats "glares" at me I think she's reading my mind and judging me
Feeling the need to add to this.... The form of the eyes is only part of the body language... In this video, because the cats body was relaxed, tail laying on the couch, fur flat to the body, the narrowed eyes were a sign of comfort and contentedness. If the eyes had been narrowed, but the fur was raised and the tip of the tail was twitching or swishing from side to side, that would have been a sign of aggression or, at the very least, that the cat was uncomfortable around this gentleman. In this latter scenario, narrowing the eyes reduces the amount of light being registered, making it easier for the cat to catch small details and subtle movements within it's surroundings and from the thing he is uncertain about.
@@dickjohnson9582 Cats may glare at you because you're a stranger, they're feeling tired or they're feeling comfortable, sometimes they look at you but their mind isn't actually thinking about you so I think we don't need to take it personally with an animal 😉
So... my older cat feels safe around me... makes sense, he's a very chill cat.... Whereas my younger cat is afraid... constantly... huh
What I love about cats is there is absolutely no pretence with them - if they don't like you, you know about it, but if they love you, that's forever 😻
Dogs don't pretend either. It's just you cant have alone time with a dog around. With cats, they give you space.
@@Katya_Lastochka I wish they did! My cat is so freaking sticky I can't even shower in peace
@@Katya_Lastochka mine follows me everywhere and cry's if i leave the room. so space whats that
@@Katya_Lastochka hahaha yea that really depends on the cat and what kind of bond you have with it, my cat is quite reluctant to give me any personal time. she is super affectionate, like i could come home past her dinner time and give her food and she will ignore the food till after she gets some love.
You're saying dogs pretend.
A cat's "piss-off" eyes are actually them being content. When they really like you, they'll slowly close their eyes to say "I'm not a threat and I trust you're not either". She was cool with you almost right away! Also trying to get a cat to do anything after they've eaten is always a big No. They're full, it's time to clean up and go to sleep. Play time is for before the food. They like to hunt and kill, then eat, then clean, and sleep.
I love cats because they're generally not needy, and when they'd like affection, they will come to you and ask. I don't need a critter in my face all day, but every once and a while is nice.
In my experience, when you own a dog, they become more relaxed over time. When you own a cat, they become more affectionate over time.
Good to know because my moms cat always gives me ‘sleep with on eye open’ murder eyes
They wouldn’t turn away from you if they hated you, they turn away because they trust you wouldn’t do anything… however if they keep their eyes on you and don’t blink…. well… uh, it thinks your gonna stab it
Not all cats are the same, it’s about the special connection! You meet that one special cat makes you adore the rest of the cat world.
Yes! I returned two other cats because they were antisocial and had no personality. But I got the right one and she has more personality than a dog more loving than a dog. And I love her despite that she's much more mischievous than the other two. But yeah the average dog is more loving than the average cat.
I’ve had one cat that just would not bond despite trying hard by my husband and I. We did find him a family with experience with his breed that he did beautifully with and he had many happy years. Our current street rescue quickly took to us and seems to have certain activities he assigned to each member of the family. I’m the food dispenser, and quiet screened in porch time spender, he sleeps at my feet fairly often. My husband is the take me on walks person and will usually go to his harness and lead when my husband gets home from work at night and tap on it for his walk. My 9 year old is the play person. It’s not that the rest us don’t do these things he just has preferences and we usually agree to go along with them if possible and it makes life with him so much fun because he’s in his element.
My kitty loved me right away. We’ve been best friends ever since. It took her more time to warm up to my dog, though. But they became great friends. They’d play together and sleep together. The cat, who was a kitten at the time, would follow the dog around, and he taught her how to act. So she learned to be a well behaved cat!
@@freddyr439 "average dog is more loving than average cat" is not true. Cats and dogs are different species so they act differently but cats are as loving as dogs, some are even more affectionate than dogs, you just didn't meat them yet. Dogs are pack animals so they need leader and always serve owners as their master, which you often see as "love" but most of what they show you is following their instincts. Though some cats need more time to bond and some don't like cuddles but that's how they are. If you love an animal, you accept how they are, if you want to be adored all the time and like comparing cats to dogs, you're looking for a pleasing animal and you should just get a dog
The special connection is Temptations... At least it is with my cat. :)
A mistake that most dog people make when interacting with cats is going:
“He’s glaring at me!!”
In cat body language squinting or ‘glaring’ at someone is actually positive because it means they aren’t on guard. It’s just like the way that slow blinks are kitty air kisses, they’re saying they trust you to not attack them when they’re not looking.
Yes. It’s the “Ah, I am safe here. Relax.” expression.
And a wagging tail is not a sign of happiness, it's more "I'm going to F up the next thing I see move"
But there is a certain glare that does mean they’re mad correct me if im wrong
@@spiritsofwolves yes
So you’re saying cats have resting b**** face 😂😆
Dog person: there's a war with dogs and cats
Cat person: how am I gonna pay this light bill.
Ha I got both
I think this goes deeper. When you can have a dog, is when u usually have a house.
Other Cat Person: watches thousands of videos of cats and dogs and all sorts of other animals having better friendships cross-species than people do with each other.
Meanwhile, me who prefers birds over both cats and dogs: 💀
@@puppydogs68 I put up a bird feeder for my cats to watch. They liked it for a week. Now they don't care and I'm the one looking at birds and getting hype if a new species shows up.
Two things I've learned are birds can be very loud and can sh!t a bunch so gotta clean often to keep it safe
but
they're also really pretty and interesting to watch. Seen 17 species so far.
So I like birds but I'd never get a pet bird.
I tried to scare my cat with a cucumber... and my badass cat tried to eat a cucumber.

I think your being a bit stereotypical with cats not all cats like lasers or afraid of cucumbers.
Fun fact: Cats actually aren't afraid of cucumbers.Cats are very stealthy and aware of their surroundings,so if something catches them by surprise the will freak out. Yes that is why they jump when people put cucumbers behind them.
Edit: I'm really glad you came to like the cat.
Much agreed! My Mom actually had a cat that loved to play with and nibble on cucumbers. We grew cucumbers in our garden and when we took them in she would try to steal them. Each cat is unique with quirks. I think that's one thing that draws in the cat lovers.
Especially anything the relative size and shape of prey or predators.
It took my cat all of 20 seconds to figure out where the little red dot was coming from, so she just knocked the laser itself out of my hand. Then she started bringing me the laser when she wanted me to play with her (super handy for me, as I'm bedbound). She also regards closed doors as a personal affront, and will open them. She plays fetch, amd she has a favourite stuffy (a guide dog puppy) that she's had since the week I got her as a kitten. She "kills" it and leaves it as a present for us. And then she carries it around with her and sleeps with it too. It's adorable. She's super smart, amd has no fear of people whatsoever, she's just super curious about everyone and everything. Not surprising, given her intelligence.
I always think it's really interesting when dog people point out how much cat stuff is around the house where a cat lives, and just seem to kind of forget the existence of the sheer amount of tools are required in dog ownership as well. 😂
This video is adorable, thank you for sharing
There's a difference between cat collectables and tools, non? Toys, perches, scratching posts, bedding, brushes and such are necessary and then there's the cat watering can, cat kitchen towels, cat bath bombs, cat magnets, cat welcome mat, cat salt & pepper shakers... lol
I think it’s more that you notice what you’re not used to. Dog stuff may be less noticeable if you see it all the time. Also there are definitely some things, like the water fountain, cat trees, cat shelves, etc. that might seem a little odd until someone explains it to you (cats like drinking from running water, cats like to have vertical territory, etc).

@Paul B I'm not even flexible and I can do that.
@@JohnRochford If Poupon isn't doing anything fun then maybe he just doesn't find life that exciting. Our cats, on the other hand, are very excited, hyper, and very loving, but that's because we raised all of them from babies except one.
That cat wasn't glaring, half closed eyes and slow blinking at you means they like you. Headbutting means affection.
Aw she slow blinked at you after you gave her the catnip she loves you
I’ve heard the slow blink referred to as “eye kisses”, seems that way to me 👁 🥰 🐑 (as in ewe)
But? Did she “Love” him? Or was she high?

Cats can tell when you don’t like them and they pick up on your energy. That’s why you didn’t enjoy your time with the cat.
if u love dogs u can also get a cat breed called puppy cat they are cats but with the exact same personality of a dog i ahve it
Pretty sure it’s because he’s not been infected with the disease
yes they can read your mind. seems legit.

@@incognito6815 animals read gestures and tone of other living being to decide they're safe or not Including cats and dogs, so yeah it's not as outrageous as "reading mind" but close
Well cats may not be so exciting but there comfy personality are what us cat people love :3
This is what I love about cats now
My cat bullies me, hes to smart and evil
I don’t want an “exciting” pet, I want a calming and quietly amusing one. Cats fill that bill perfectly. A lot of dogs bark too much. Barking is painful on the ears, whereas meowing can be quite a pleasant sound.
So the possibility of your cat eating your face at night is comfy to you lol wow
Dogs have been found dead next to their owners because they stay by their sides and will starve to death cat's will eat your face the second they are hungry and your dead ass didn't bring the meow mix on time

@@oskar3897 0/10 bad joke
Dog people are so binary. I'm yet to meet a cat person who doesn't also love dogs.
My cats see me as a chair
cushion.... everytime I sit
down I have five cats trying
fit together on my lap. ☺️
That's so cute!!
Having a kitten is a better way to be introduced to cats if you don’t like them as they are more active and playful and more adaptable.
I must say I was amazed at Poupin’s lack of interest in boxes though. I have never known a cat that didn’t love getting in a box, the smaller the better!
My cat has absolutely no interest in boxes too. He likes sheltered places but not boxes
I gave our tiny two a kleenex box with one end opened and the plastic film removed. They played with it for HOURS! If one of them tried something the other was right behind. I kept giving them the boxes until they got too big to fit inside--sooner for big boy Murphy (what a sweetie!) than his sister Molly (as catty as a cat can be!). We laughed at those two for 15 years!
I really strongly agree on the kitten for newbies. As long as you're loving and respectful you can't offend a kitten. Cats can be very offended very easily. They never forget abuse, either. A kitten will forgive mistakes. A cat might not! My dad always said that the only bad thing about kittens is that they grow into cats. As Sugarfoot followed him all over the orchard like a dog. He went up and down ladders a lot just removing the cat from the branch he was trying to cut off. Then he'd climb back up and not know which branch it was. So back down the ladder to spot the branch again. He did it for the silly cat. 😊
i don't really agree with this not only are there way too many people who dump or give them to a shelter ones the kitten has grown up or they lost interested after the cat grew older but kittens are also a lot more work partially because they are so energetic and not really for newbies at all.
I have two cats and they both don't care at all for boxes
GET A CATT!!! Trust me, once you build a bond with cat, it's truly incomparable. You really earn their affection and love, and it makes the relationship really special. I like dogs too, but they love everyone and truth be told, as long as someone was feeding them, they can move about from house to house without any real concept of what's going on. Cats are like people - they establish relationships over time, and don't much like change. They are distrusting of new people, I think it's sweet. :) Misunderstood creatures for sure. And they're so darn cute you can just tuck them under the covers with you at night and they're literally like a stuffed animal. My cat is lying on my shoulder as I type this lol
Well said
I don't agree that dogs don't build individual relationships; they surely would be upset being passed from person to person. But it's true that cats build trust slowly, and once they love you, it's literally forever.
It depends on the breed. My labrador? Absolutely, he will love everyone and everything. My german shepherd? Not so much. When I leave for holiday hes miserable and then he follows me everywhere. Im his person. And I wouldnt recomment anyone to "steal him". It could go very wrongly.
honey, you clearly know nothing about dogs xd
Dog definitely build individual relationships. Dogs also do not do well being passed from home to home. You need to work with rescue dogs before you make statements like that. Maybe just be around dogs, something you apparently never do. Dogs also tell you when another human may be a shady character.
Part of what I've always liked about cats is that they don't perform on demand. They do things when they feel like it and only if they feel like it. Also a cat in the same room staring at you isn't a bad thing. If the cat didn't like you he or she would hide from you.
Yep. My cat's 8 years old and is fairly lazy, but she still has moments where she will tear across the apartment like a bat out of hell and meow at walls.
Cats have diferente personalities and that’s why some are funny and playful while others are so cute and calm❤️
Poupin is so laid back its unreal sometimes I wondered if he was a furry puddle! my cat (yes I am a cat person) Loves a laser! Sends her absolutely crackers for a few min. Its entertaining and adorable!
A furry puddle is the perfect way to describe Poupin! I must admit I was disappointed she wasn’t more excited by the laser
Might be age as well. The video implied she was adopted as an adult.
@@Lundy.Fastnet.Irish_Sea could be, mine was rescued as an adult/overgrown kitten but as I say she was rescued so could of left her a bit strange haha
I've had both a dog and a cat, both are hard work but I like dogs and cats equal
It's very refreshing to see a dog person not being like "ugh I hate cats, they're just so mean".
I think it takes a particular personality be a cat or a dog person. I've got three cats, I love dogs too but I don't feel like living with a dog that is way much more needy, more energetic and more loud but I totally understand why someone would prefer a dog over a cat. Anyway, great video :)
“It’s either you’re a dog person or a cat person”
Jokes on you I’m a snake person...
Cats are not scared of cucumbers there are scared of thing that pop up out of nowhere
Her sitting there was her wanting to be with you. it mens she did take a liking to you. My cat will sit next to me or close me for hours while im working or doin something even though theres 4 other members in the house.
them just sitting in the same room with you IS, indeed, the cat saying hey! we're buds having a good time.
I've had cats that were somewhat touch averse and cats that fight over who gets to sit in my lap. PERSONALLY two of the selling points for me is that cats don't bark at the slightest noise and I don't need to take them for walkies and clean up after them. I have an automatic litterbox because cleaning up Bodily Functions is just too gross for me. but! I grew up with dogs AND cats. dogs are fine and I like them I just don't want to own one.
Dogs: I’m mans best friend Cats: why be mans best friend when you can be a god?
100% its a female cat. My cat is the same she has 0 interes on a lot of games but she loves sleeping, cuddling and eating instead. But she is the sweetest thing ever😍
I can relate this. I've had female cat that always calm while the male cat are playful
Nah that's all relative. My female cat is STILL bouncing off of the walls as an adult, while both only my mom's male cats are super chill couch potatos. It depends on a lot of things.
@@theprideling ofc it depends on the cat, but I was saying what happenes usually because I had both male and female cats and the female ones where always chill and loved sleeping no matter what kind of race the cat was.
Dont scare cats with anything Your suppose to love them and care for them and scaring them can have long term effects on their mental health so please do cats a favor and dont scare them and only love and care for them
Even if we did try to love them, cats are still gonna scratch us and continue to be aloof, cold, and boring for as along as we live with them.
@@ChelseatheCreativeFox-pc2xz Yikes, you probably do something wrong. No cat I've owned has ever been aloof or cold. They don't scratch me either. My cat follows me around in the house, she licks my hands and sleeps on my lap. If you don't annoy the cat by constantly doing what you want (picking them up, trying to pet them when they're stressed or scared by something you DID or expect them to constantly entertain you as if they are toys) highly doubt they'll do what you say and if they do, it's probably because they are traumatized by previous owners or by living in the streets something which is a normal behavior and you can encounter it with traumatized dogs too. Stop seeing everything in "black or white" just because your petty feelings got hurt, and broaden your horizons.
I am a cat person despite growing up both. I love my dog, but there's something about being chosen as opposed to choosing when it comes to pets. My cat Sophie literally followed me home one night off the streets. I had told her to go home (I thought she had an owner at the time and had lost my male cat a month ago. I didn't think I was ready for another cat.) but she followed me instead and waited for a few days until she was let in due to a storm. She ran right into my room without hesitation. Turns out she'd been abused and abandoned by her old owners at 7 years old as no one ever claim her despite all efforts made to find her home.
Long story short she decided I was her home and we're both still very happy 3 years later. Oh! For those wondering she's a Lilac Lynx Point Siamese.
Both of our cats love constant attention! They're way into doing everything with us! All cats like people are totally unique and have their own specific purrsonalities!
My cat is attention seeking and affectionate to the point that it’s almost a burden. Nearly every time I approach him he just tips over on the floor (with a bang) and prepares for a cuddle. The same thing happens if he’s standing on the stairs or on a railing. No concern for his own safety.
I had a cat nicknamed “underfoot kitty”
We don’t have to justify our love for cats guys 🤷♀️
My cat sitting on my lap under the covers, purring as I fall asleep stroking his cheek.
Henry got cancer, but I’ll never forget him. 💕
A cat "glaring" at you is actually a cat who feels safe in your present. To think it's glaring is to think a cat is a human. A cat who feels does not feel safe would keep its eyes wide open to watch for danger. So for it to partially close its eyes, it would mean it is relaxed.
At least you actually tried looking after a cat for two weeks to see if you liked them or not! A lot of people just say “I hate cats” without knowing what it’s like to own one! Just means a cat is not for you! Kudos on trying it out! I’m a huge cat person but love dogs too! Just don’t feel I’d be a good dog owner! Lol
I’m currently living with a cat again and I’m now an even bigger fan of cats. Might make a video about it next week
@@JohnRochford awww! Actually I commented before I saw the end where you grew on poupin! So kitties grew on you eh? Lol yah I tried the cucumber thing with my cats and either they sniff it like poupin did or pick it up and play with it! Lol can’t wait to see the vid! I forgot to say “new subscriber “!
When they sit with you and purr it lowers your blood pressure ❤️
4:40 oh shut up. the cat isn't glaring. squinting is how they smile
It's disgusting to see how abusive he is towards the cat, trying to scare it with a cucumber or giving it a brain freeze or feeding it milk which isn't good for cats, I mean yes, maybe he doesn't know but if you are trusted with an animal then you do your fucking research.
Cats are scared of cucumbers because they never smell or see a cucumber before and it will scare the cat very much
I used to think I was a dog person and now I love both but think I'd rather own a cat cause they're so much easier to take care of
I used to love cats more than anything, until I got scratched multiple times as a kid ;-;
Edit: I still love cats but more of a dog person now :)
@@whizz_0711 def think that cats are more likely to be a toss up behavior wise but hopefully one day I will go to the shelter and have a super bond with my own lil chonk
Um.... NO. You have to change their litter box (2 boxes for each cat) twice a day, or your house will REAK of piss. You have to sanitize your counters tops, tables, and everything on them several times a day, because the fuckers won't stay off of them. You have to clean up everything they knock over (plants, knick knacks, etc) constantly. You have to pet them just right, or they will scratch the shit out of you. Cats are way more work than dogs.

I love how my cats will follow me from room to room and just hang out while I do whatever. They don't need my attention but bring this peaceful, safe energy. They're basically an introverts dream companion.
Kitteh: I am not here for your amusement, hooman
Is it weird that I like both dogs and cats?
No I think that’s ok 😊
Most cat people like dogs. Most dog people just feel all high and mighty
That’s a beautiful cat. She was probably missing her owners (servants 🙂)
Cats all have their own unique personalities and preferences, and are usually highly independent. Dogs are pack orientated animals, and highly social. Dogs also love unconditionally, while with cats you actually have to earn their affection. Having a cat grow to trust and love you, is more rewarding. I have had both dogs and cats in my life. My own two cats, used to walk me to the bus stop and wait for me to come back from work everyday. They loved walking with me as well.
Honestly, I have to admit, the attitude is part of the appeal of a cat for me. It's always funny when you say something and they glare at you like they understood what you said.
When cats look at you and do a slow blink, it's a sign of affection and trust. I call them eye kisses. Cats are very different from dogs in that they're both a predator and prey, so it takes longer to gain their trust.
I've lived with a cat for most of the last 48 years. after getting a cat when I was four, and I'm still alive. As long as you wash your hands after cleaning their litter tray and don't put their feet in your mouth, toxoplasmosis isn't a big deal. as an animal person, I like both cats and dogs - however, I've only ever lived with cats, so I'm no dog expert.
The many many cat lovers in the comments have already covered a lot of good material, but I wanted to add:
- the "glare" is actually the cat being comfortable & enjoying your company! squinty eyes = chillin'
- when you offered her frozen milk, she didn't want it, but she was happy you were hanging out with her! cats put their tail straight up in the air (or with a little curl at the top) when they're greeting or interacting with their favorite creatures.
- Cats are also very good at setting their own boundaries. They are often more like roommates than most dogs are
In conclusion I highly recommend that any self-declared dog people who want to try and give cats a chance should definitely look up basic cat body language before they meet one. It helps so much to have that insight into how they're feeling, especially because their body language is very different from a dog's!
Yeah, actually, a cat choosing to be in the room with you IS showing that they you and like hanging out with you! Everyone sitting around doing the same room, doing their own thing, is social bonding time for cats.
Haha the unnecessary cucumber sequence got me.
Danny RAWner it was completely necessary
@@JohnRochford I wonder would a courgette work? It's cylindrical and green too.
🤣🤣 oh my goodness...this was so funny to watch, especially because I'm a cat person and I understood her behavior perfectly. 😂 So...the "piss of" eyes actually are sleepy eyes, as you can see the under eyelids were a little bit visible, and they usually show when cat is half asleep our slowly starting to sleep.
And how old is she? Because I have noticed that older cats aren't so interested in playing with lazer (or other toys (that's why probably there were so many toys, because the owners tried to find some toy that she likes, but eventually gave up (just my suggestion)))
The reason she didnt jump is simple.. there are no snakes in England. Even though she’s a shelter cat that might have been living on the streets for a while, she most likely never came across a snake.
There are plenty of snakes in England! There are 3 varieties here, only one of which is venomous. The smooth snake, the grass snake and the adder. Adders are venomous. I'm nearly 50 and have been seeing snakes since childhood, as has anyone who lives in a rural area, where you will also see other native reptiles like lizards and slow worms.
“cat food is so gross” excuse me whats the difference between dog food and cat food-
Depends on the cat food but yeah... My cats are eating natural balance and it smells and looks so tasty...
If you compare the same level of each, not much.
Almost everyone who actually spends some time with cats ends up liking cats, or at the very least learns to understand cat people much better.
As a cat person all my life the number 1 rule I always say to people is that you don't pick the cat, they pick you.
Cats are everywhere on the internet, Dogs are everywhere IN REAL LIFE. And I love them both. I'm just an animal person
I dint have pets growing up and one day I decided to get my cat luna and she is the best thing to happen in 2020. I have always wanted and loved dogs but KITTY FOR ME
I like both cats and dogs I grew up with both both my cats and my dogs are very sweet last year I actually sadly lost one of my cats and I rarely ever cry. that time I was crying like a baby because he was my best friend. RIP Roo you will be very missed. Anyway figured I'd tell you that story as well.
I'm actually Sammy surprised that she shows no interest in a laser pointer most cats love trying to catch that little dot.
As someone who’s been around cats since birth, I think part of what throws a lot of dog people off about cats is that cats are all about parallel play. Being Alone Together. When I’m playing computer, and my cat is sitting on the desk or sleeping in the chair by it, that’s us hanging out. Even when she sleeps on my lap, that’s parallel play. I’m doing my own thing, and she’s sleeping. She just happens to be doing it on my lap.
Cats aren't nthe kids you never had, they are the cool college roommates you've never had
You had me howling with the clips of you carrying the cucumber home!
Great video man, some unreal camera shots 👏👏
The finest bit of movie making I’ve done! Carrying a cucumber. Glad you liked the video
The quality of this video gave me the impression that this is a big youtube channel. I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers, because holy shit you sure as hell do a good job. I like your work, John!
Thank you very much! I'd rather it that way round then 'why the hell does this guy have so many subs'
I thought the same too
At the end I was told to piss off and I will after this comment. Ugly finger. Won't be coming back.
Meanwhile, I live with dogs AND cats, and I can honestly say having both is actually the best option. They fill in all the gaps and you're surrounded by love (and food bills and poop, but mostly love).
My cat was a cat with some dog specs. She would run to the front door everytime she saw me coming from the window to greet me. She would attack mail men
Cats are just too fluffy, relaxing, and great for snuggles, etc.
This is worth watching just for the foot-splash money shot alone.
I agree!
Dog people: "I violently hate cats!"
Cat peope: "dogs are fine but have you seen these toe beans?"
Green things with no legs can kill you.
Cats seldom encounter cucumbers in the wild, but they have a healthy respect for snakes.
*Just like us humans, cats have different personalities.* Most cats are sweet and loving companions who love attention. Cats easily sense when people don't like them. I've 3 cats now with different personalities. All 3 show love and like to play. Even my 12 year old cat still plays.
When I was 6 years old, we had a cat that I could dress with my dolls cloths, lay him in my kid stroller and go for a walk.😁
As a teen we had 2 cats and a dog. They got along pretty well and both cats were clingy lap-cats. Luka loved to lay on the chest like a baby and rest her head on the shoulder.
I also like bunnies, birds and many other animals, but just can't have them all! Unless you own a zoo!🤣
Thing is, cats never do anything unless it is on their own terms. The blank glare the cat gives you when you try to make him perform should be translated as : "Dude, wherever did you get the idea that I exist to entertain you?"
Not all Cats are the same. I've meet sweetest thing, angry with the whole existence, couch potatoe, Will be with You But don't touch me, needy mommy's boi, delicate princess with a catnip problem
He says, "Her sitting (with me) is her wanting to be with me" Now that's a cat.
Dogs slave everyone with love. If you breath, a dog loves you. If you don't breath, they still love you.
Cats make you work for it. If you stop breathing, they will eat your face. (actually, that's only because they are trying to wake you up; if licks don't do it, they bite your nose, and so it begins.)
Which means more, dating a person who flirts and kisses everyone they met, or dating a person who saves those special looks and long eye blinks with only you?
I finally made it into a one of your video’s, I’m official famous and cracked the internet.....my cat ‘Big Dave’ will be so proud of his dad!!!
Timbulani tell Big Dave he should be!
Great video dude - really enjoying your content
MARK & FAYE FPV thank you! It’s a little all over the place but I’m glad your enjoying it!
I love how you held out the cucumber like it was a defence weapon 🤣
"it looks like a genuine bag of weed"
Me: oh God, what have you been smoking?
This is in 2020 and you might not see this but fun fact about cats they cant really tell you that they love you the thing they will do is blink at you very slowley
I spend hours trying to make cats slow blink me
John I think you finally found your spirit animal... That rat that gets eaten by the cat I mean.
The thing about cats is that they are individuals and you kinda have to approach them similarly to how you'd approach people. That means you can't force them to play or snuggle or spend time with you without them getting stressed out or resentful. It's best to wait until they are comfortable with you and come to you first.
"you're either a dog person, or a cat person"
*Also me who is both:* 👁️👄👁️
Really funny. A completely different take on being with a cat. I am actually trying to decide which to get, which is what brought me here. I really enjoyed this video, even the walk to the shop through the puddles. It looks like a nice place and had me wondering where this was, it looks like a village. Very enjoyable and interesting, thank you.
I love dogs, and I likes cats, but more of a dog person c:
@🥀Fox Tales🥀 same :D
“Wot, the f*ck.”
*nestle advertisement pops out on my screen*
😂
If you want validation, get a Siamese cat.
Good god they are chatty and need to be held or petted and have your attention at every waking moment.
Kinda like a toddler, I guess. LOL
The upside is that they are super clever with personalities that will rival most human children.
Not my experience. I grew up with a Siamese cat. He was pretty much like most cats. He was supposed to be the family cat, but he obviously adored my sister over the rest of us. 😂
This gave me a good lol
I was also obsessed with dogs growing up. My parents never let us own pets so I would research different dog breeds trying to find my favorite one (its a Newfoundland btw).
Anyway, now I have three cats. Go figure. They just kind of showed up demanding food and well, I am obsessed with them now. They are exactly like walking teddy bears, but with weird little personalities, like you said. They're great company but dogs are great too!
Cynthia Newcastle I’m fully converted. Don’t get me wrong dogs are still better but I fully want a cat now! Or 3
I’m more of a rodent person...
4:04 Oh, hey, it's Cat Man Chris
and this is how you tell I'm a cat person.
That cucumber trick never works on my cat.
My dog loves cukes lol
Your art of your friends looks strangely like some friends I know!
Do they own a really fat cat?
Hey that’s exactly how I carry my cucumbers home!
Charly Redmond Is there another way?
@@JohnRochford I thought I was watching a postal 2 gameplay
Dogs feed ego.
Cats build ego.
One thing about toxoplasma Gondii is that it affects both cats and dogs. Maybe that explains why they are the most loved type of pet by humanity.
