My mom brought in the wrong cat once. Her and dad -in their 70s - were just thrilled to get the stinker in the carrier, but didn't realize it was the wrong one 🐈 😂
I have both cats and dogs. My dogs: Oh yes, he was in here 4 months ago when we updated his prescription for his allergies. My cats: IDK, when did he get he get fixed as a kitten?
I got this carrier off chewy for my cat and it’s really more for a small dog, but he loves it. He sleeps in it all the time and sometimes to take him to the vet all I have to do is walk over and zip it up. If I have to actually pick them up and put him in it, it zips from the top or the front, so it’s really easy. The struggle of getting my cat to the vet disappeared from my life when I got that thing. It’s called a pet club go and it was like 40 bucks.
So true about being hard to catch. I once had to call the vet to delay an appointment because I could not find my cat. I'd failed to get her in the carrier once so she was hiding to wait me out. Making this more embarrassing: I have a studio apartment. I still have no idea where she hid for those hours.
I have to be stealthy about when I pull the carrier out because she won't notice if I do it when she's not in the room. Then treat bribery usually works. She hasn't caught onto that one, yet. 😂
I got new types of food for my cats cos I thought they'd get bored but they refused to eat any of them so I've had to go back to the same old same old. I dunno how they do it.
When she senses a vet appointment, my cat vanidhes into some pocket dimension to hide until I have missed the appointment. Then she'll just cadually stroll out, smug and victorious but playing it cool like, Sup, we doin' anything?
We had one like that with my mum. We couldn't say the word "veterinarian" or she would hide, so we called him by his name. It worked for a while, then we had to find a nickname. Knowing that she had a terrible mouth condition when she was around 11, it lasted a for a year and a half. We had to catch her once a month for cortisone injections. Then she lost her last tooth and that was done, and she lived until 19 😂
Again, as a veterinarian I 100% agree. With the exception of asking what they are eating. It is usually "I don't know, its in a green bag" or "Well he did eat a ham bone last year, so..."
I know exactly what my cat eats for breakfast, dinner, and treats. I can even tell the vet about what supplements she might get. Currently, I've been mixing a small amount of pure, no sugar added cranberry juice to her nightly canned food three times a week to prevent any possibility of another UTI/bladder infection. (Yes, she eats better than me and I make sure of it!)
@@yaelz6043 One of mine only likes the cheapest food you can find 😂If it's the good quality, expensive food he won't eat it while our other cats prefer that one
There we go, this is why I couldn't relate to either of them ;^_^ We managed a full year of Care Club for our new kittens -- the product of a stray cat we took in where we basically noticed the tummy around the same time I was finally ready to conclude the cat was ours for good -- and I'm shocked that we managed that, budget-wise. But it gave them a good start on vaccines and let us handle the worries of the first year with appropriate vet visits as often as needed.
The cone of shame doesnt stay on my cats, no matter what i do. The girl Houdini's out of it and taught her brother the same (she's also the cat that learned how to open her carrier door and things with a lever door handle). Got cat onesies instead, its good so far, but she walks around like a spider monkey 😂
@@mkchristner I know, cats are stubborn little things. Although thankfully it didn't take long to learn that licking her open sore from her hotspot = time for onesie. She'd try to fake me out like "oh see I'm just grooming my leg", then immediately lick her sore on her lower belly when I'm not looking.
I tried the onsies for my cat, as my daughter used inside after her cat had surgery and he was fine with it. Not my girl though; even though it fit well, she flopped down on her side and refused to get up. After waiting several hours, I finally gave up and took it off, then she got up and started walking around.
My smaller cat would get out of the cone of shame just as fast as you could turn around. My vet taught me how to make a harness with surgical gauze and it did the trick. She wasn’t happy though!!
@@anitaanderson2871 That's exactly how that went with my cat too! Well. I gave up after 20 minutes or so, she seemed absolutely miserable, like a complete ragdoll. I think it's something about the pressure from all sides that makes them think they're trapped, even though it's not tight? But yeah, the cone worked way better, she had the hang of living with it pretty quickly.
Depends on the animal. Seriously. My mother paid $600 for a show quality pedigreed dog back in 1989. Bandit was an absolutely spoiled princess of a dog who was destructive on a level I had never seen. This dog chewed paint off the walls and chased car headlights at three in the morning, among other things. She was a holy terror! Most of my cats were strays/free and some of the sweetest pets I ever had the pleasure to know. I'm not joking, either!
One of my favorite memories of my Caraway, probably the tiniest little old lady cat on the planet, is when she had surgery to remove a polyp in her ear and had to wear an e-collar. You could not leave her to her own devices because she managed to remove it multiple times despite us doing our best to secure it. One time she turned it into a skirt. I have a picture of her wearing her collar skirt on my bed, mid-yell. Such a spry and spunky little thing, and such a lovebug. I miss her dearly.
My Dachshund got his e-collar hooked on the door hardware of a bottom kitchen cabinet. From the other room I heard BAM! BAM! BAM! Followed the sound to find him facing the cabinet, backing away, only to be repeatedly pulled forward again. Being a vet must be so challenging, not because of the patients, but rather the clients.
@@smolson8471 I know electric collars are a thing, but they won’t stop your pet scratching or licking wounds, so I don’t think that’s what it is in this context.
the surgery collar was so accurate. my cat has a neck scratching issue at the moment, keeps opening a wound on it, and i was laughing my ass off at her stupid ass wearing a flower collars. if her glares could kill i'd be dead a dozen times over
The optimal cat-carrier loading procedure is something like this: 1: Bring carrier into bathroom. Set carrier on end on bathroom floor. Ensure cat does not see carrier being moved. 2: Carry cat into bathroom. Keep cat's face against your chest so cat does not see carrier. 3: Close door behind you with your foot/body. At this point, cat is contained in a small room with carrier. 4: Take cat by the front legs and lower into carrier from above. Cat will try to stand on carrier with rear legs, but this is all it can do at this point. 5: Once cat is in carrier and being carried... keep a hand on the door just for luck. I once had a cat unlatch the carrier door by blind panic and nearly escape in the vet's parking lot.
Sure, maybe you don't know about your cat's defication because you don't pay attention to your cat. Or maybe it's because as soon as you get distracted by something, the dog beelines for the litter box to eat cat's poop.
My cat HATED wearing an e-collar, and we didn't even have the donut option bc her back paw was injured and the donut would've still let her lick at it. She slipped out of it a lot too. Worse two weeks of her life, but she did look hilarious
We had to put a cone on our first cat at one point, when she had only returned to having a home (following roughing it for over a year, after abandonment) for a month. I expected problems, but she wore it stoically and didn't try to remove it. She showed other calmness and serenity that I didn't expect, especially after living without a home. I really think this cat understood gratitude. She was the perfect "starter" cat.
My cat had to wear the e-collar (cone of shame) a couple months and she learned to back herself out the cat door to get outside. Cats are clever! (The wound over her eye FINALLY healed so she could be free again.) She's now 16 years old.
As a cat owner who is a previous dog owner, I'm still pretty much a dog owner in behaviour 😂 (except when it comes to the cone of Shame, the cone of Shame stays for as long as needed)
Very much the same. Cats go to the vet every six months whether they need to or not! Blood samples, teeth check, the whole deal. (Our vet did catch something chronic very early in one of our cats, and because they spotted it on the blood panel so early we can manage it and he's living a great life now.)
I've only ever been around dogs before taking these 2 cats in, so I understand that completely. My family gave me weird looks when I tell the cats to sit before giving them food/treats, or teaching them to reach for the door knob when they want to go in or out of a room. They'll also sprint after sticks and those wool balls when I throw them, couldn't teach them to fetch though. 😅
As a cat owner, everything is accurate. Our Jimmy was obsessed with Blue Buffalo canned cat food. We brought a 24 case of it about 2 months ago. We have 20 cans left. 😂
I mean... Every vet I've seen at my preferred office recommends only bringing a cat in if they seem like they need it, no check-ups. And I've cleaned up enough pee with paper towels to agree.
Lol, that last one got me, I had a rescue cat that acted like a pedigree cat when it came to food. Also, yes, my cats are hard to catch as well and when you do intend to do something like that you damn near make sure it is for a very good reason because for the next year they will side step you when ever they see you.
I´m a cat owner, and everything is pretty much accurate except the last part. I´d be very anxious and sad knowing that my little girl has to stay in a hospital 🥺
Offerings lol, "Is this the right type of tuna? no, you only like the organic, tinned water, white tuna?" Cat stares. "We only have regular. " Cat stares "...." Cat continues to stare "fine, I'll be right back, I just have to go the grocery store at midnight."
My cat wriggled out of every hard plastic e-collar, even to the point of cutting her heels on the edge trying to kick it off. Then i got her a soft "flower" cone and though she still ran into walls and knocked over her water dish without fail, ahe didnt try to wriggle out of it.
Can confirm the part about cats and their visit schedules (or lack thereof). My dad took my boy Licorice to the vet for the first time in years to get an ESA form, and not only was he hard to get into the carrier, but it was so long since his last visit that they wouldn’t fill out the form. :'D
This was funnier than the first one. As a long term cat owner plus carer of the barn cats at a local stable and feral cat colony manager, I think I have given all those exact answers to some poor veterinarian😂😂😂 Thanks for the laughs😄
Yeah I lost my previous dog to a sudden aggressive cancer too, he was my 4th rescue and I had only had him for 2yrs & 1 month, he had minor surgery for a growth on his eyelid and a tooth out, and a knee X-ray as he partially tore his ACL in his knee, he was going to have surgery about 5 weeks later but I got home from work and he wouldn’t stand up, his cancer was in his hip bone which apparently for cats and dogs extremely rare so in that month the cancer spread all the way down his leg, and into his lungs and the external tissue of his hip and thigh as it was winter he wore his jumper but to me I just thought it was his thigh muscles being in spasm, luckily I had previously bought a help em up harness which has a chest & shoulder piece and a pelvis lower back section and connect together across the back and has rugged handles at both spots because he was a Bull Arab and he was 42kgs-92.5lbs and I was lifting him in and out of my car, and he still wanted to sleep on my bed with me. The night before I had the vet come out to do it, he did something he had never done before I was laying on my left side and he usually slept with his back against mine, he turned around and placed his chin and bottom jaw and laid it on my left cheek it was so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time, I had told him a number of times that the vet was coming the next day to help him go to sleep and not be in any pain anymore, geez it’s making me have a few tears now writing it down it’s 2s years on the 11th April. He helped me get through the first 9 months of losing my soulmate to breast cancer, he took such amazing care of me he was 9 & 4 months old when I adopted him, if it wasn’t for the cancer he was In really good shape for a large dog he was taller than the two German Shepherd’s I had. But I adopted another dog 2 months later who helped me, as I always believe it’s my previous dog that picks out my next dog as the one I need and the dog that needs me. This one is covered in scars from loads of abuse he is between 8-11yrs now, he took so much slow gentle training and time with him building his confidence he also helped my grief for my girlfriend and my dog, because I had something I had to really look after who really needed me, obviously I needed him too and will until it’s his time and if I go before him, I have lined up a friend of mine who he loves and who we house & dog & cat sit for, and she looked after him when I was traveled a year ago for 3 weeks, she has promised to take him as my family would just take him to a shelter. The hard part of loving is the grieving when we lose them but the size of our grief is the size of our love for them whether human or companion animal, or any animal that we have a strong connection with. Thank goodness for these beautiful creatures in our lives that teach us so much about happiness and living in the moment, and to allow all the little things to makes us happy, and to let go of grievances quickly and to move on to something more joyful.
My first dog went due to cancer. Second was heart failure. Third(just yesterday) was liver failure. I keep looking at the last of my pack asking "how are you gonna break my heart? Yall been keeping me on my toes"
You know why our boy kitty doesn't go to vet as often? HE HATES CAR RIDES! Our cat is such a sweet boy, do I want to hear him yowl or meow in discomfort the entire car ride? NOPE! Even though we have a carrier he fits in I'm seriously considering getting one of those Cat-in-the-bag carriers in hopes of making car rides more tolerable for him. Thank God eBay has some for sale used for a lower price!
I got a Happy Hoodie for my cat during baths/car rides. I've only tried it 2 times, but it's actually not bad. She'll freeze and tolerate it for a little while. A little pricey at $12 but could see if it helps.
@Killer_Turnip I will consider it. It does look like a smart product. I am considering the Cat-in-the-bag also because I'd like to trim his nails safely and there's ways to access one paw at a time and trim their murd*r mittens using the Cat-in-the-bag.
My boy was so traumatized in the car. He was dumped near us at about 1.5 yrs old, so maybe he associated cars with abandonment. He'd walk in backward circles in his carrier yowling horribly. Once I was seriously afraid he might have a heart attack. He was all fine as soon as we got home, but, yeah, I know what you mean! He was the sweetest boy, Beauregard. ❤
Maybe try spending some time in the car with him while it's stationary, like let him explore, sniff etc, and once he's comfortable with the vehicle, put the motor on idle? It might help. We had a cat who actually loved being in the car but hated being in a crate going to the vet. Sometimes we'd take him for a little drive around the block and he would love looking out the window (closed). I still miss him 😢
It's okay when your cat just meows and yowls in a carrier. The other story is when your cats PUKES and SHITS every time you want to take it to the vet or just anywhere. My dad's cat is like that. She's sweet but really nervous. Every time I help my father to take her in a carrier, we ONLY leave his block-of-flats, and she ALREADY starts to foam a saliva from her mouth. My cat only meows and grumbles, when I take her somewhere, and believe me, it's a blessing😅
My cat had a urinary stone removed last year and had to wear a vest during recovery. She hated it so much that she started urinating everywhere. It was bad and caused me so much stress I had a panic attack. When she got it off early I didn’t even try to put it back on - her behavior resolved immediately upon getting the vest off
every one of these I watch, I'm more and more thankful that I went through the effort of leash training my cat XD It's always a pleasant surprise for the vet, and he gets to explore. win-win!
The food thing is why we feed our 4 on a randomized rotating variety list. They have favorites, and not-this-agains, but only once did we find something that they really didn't like. Even that they ate but just took their sweet time. Discrete mealtimes and being born as ferals probably helps counteract the natural cat pickiness
I have PTSD from e-collars. We had a puppy who had to be in one for two weeks. She would run at you full speed, and hit you as hard as she could with it. I was COVERED in bone bruises for weeks afterwards. So painful! It wasn't until about a year later that the pet stores in the area started to carry the softer e-collars.
My cat only likes one brand of food, it has to be ‘in gravy’ (no pate) and it must be a new can after 5 mins (we keep the tin and trick him). My dog will literally eat anything, especially things that he shouldn’t which then requires a visit to the vet 😅.
The poop problem is so real! I have four cats and four litter boxes (I know, I know, I need five boxes. Working on it!) and any time I see any kind of change I just stare at it, trying to decide if it's bad enough that I need to catch All Four Cats to see if One of them may possibly have a health issue that they don't have the capacity to communicate. (We're working on buttons specifically so that they can press "ouch" if needed). Not sure I agree with the rest of the portrayals though. Can owners aren't usually that callous? I haul them all off to be de-wormed, de-flead and vaccinated every time we get an automated reminder from the vet.
Indoor cats that never go outside and live in a single family home probably don't need the regular flea and tick treatments unless you're regularly bringing fleas and ticks into your house. Or unless you have mice. That said, escapes happen and it's always the "but sometimes" situations that come back to bite us in the butt when we're not expecting it.
@@SadisticSenpai61I live in SC and if you keep your windows open, they need tick and flea treatment. I learned the hard way, after moving to SC from PA. My vet explained about how highly fleas can jump, and how they’re more active in hot climates 🤷🏻♀️
My one cat fought so hard to get in the carrier he ripped the pants I was wearing. I showed up covered in scratches, and he was an absolute baby doll with the vets. They looked at me like I was crazy.
To be fair the one cat I don’t bring to the vet every year is my house feral. I can’t pick her up and gabapentin doesn’t work on her. The last time I managed to catch and bring her into the vet she wasn’t sedated enough from the gabapentin for them to fully examine her. This was after I doubled the dose like they asked.
I had one cat and dog after being spaded was called early to pick them up because they were causing grief and were there ready for me to take when I arrived, the others the medication kept calm and seemed the vets were enjoying their company lol, some fight it for sure
My cat is a former feral, and needs gabapentin for visits. One time when I went to pick him up after a tooth cleaning, they asked if I would mind coming in the back to put him in the carrier. As soon as I walked into the area they had the cats, I could hear his low, but also loud, growl. Luckily I just had to put the carrier right up to the door of his cage and he went rent in. He had the vet techs terrified 😂😂
And here is me having to scoop my cats poop immediately because she lets me know she is doing the no2 by making the most noise possible beforehand and meows outragedly afterward until the litterbox has been returned to the pre poop cleanliness levels.
The whole cat thing aside from the food is relatable. My Moe loved any food and I had to watch him so he wouldn't eat too quickly. He now has a new home and I told the new person to keep using the litter container that I had for food storage because he would tear open the food bag and eat from there, she didn't listen.
My youngest cat was the poop ninja -- she was the beta cat of the household. My oldest was NOT a poop ninja. She'd walk into the box while I was in there, dig a hole halfway to China, then poop on top of the resulting pile of litter, making uncomfortable eye contact the whole time, and walk out without covering it. Needless to say, she was the alpha cat, and that was HER litterbox and don't you forget it.
I thought all cats tried to poop without being seen until I had to take in my neighbors' two cats when they couldn't care for them anymore. They were strictly outdoor cats, but we caved and let them inside. I was scooping the box that we had for our own cat, then the big tom kitty from next door who had literally never seen a litter box in his life hopped in right in front of me while I was scooping it and shamelessly took a poop right then and there. Maybe because it smelled like cat poop already? But I was flabbergasted that we didn't have to house train either of them at all. Both of them already knew what to do.
Sometimes my cats will wait until we're around before going. Not sure if it's because we sometimes encourage them (like before a car ride) or us going to the bathroom reminds them to go.
All me re: dogs, except the last one. Anytime our vet recommends a procedure that is to help our furbabies past and present feel better, we tell the doctor to do whatever is necessary. I hate leaving them at the clinic, but if that's what is needed, absolutely that's what we'll do. I do ask if they can check in on them (as if you guys don't do that) and remind them how much they are loved, that mommy and daddy miss them and they'll come home soon. In regards to the e-collar, our golden figured out if she puts the edge on the molding by a door, she can bend the collar and somehow finagle getting to her leg (surgery area). We had to get one of those bands that go around the body and covers the leg in addition to a neck pillow
Now I'm just remembering how our dog kept ramming us with the e collar until we got a donut that he loved to use as a pillow just to save our legs the bruises🤣 Meanwhile the cats were always removing their e collars. My sister used an old sock on her cat to stop her from licking at the surgery site when she got fixed since she was small enough for that to be an option
The “opening up seven cans of food to see what offering he’s going to like game” really, really, really describes my picky Oliver. He hates everything except for Fancy Feast chicken and even that sometimes isn’t good enough for his majesty.
Had one dog who had a really big neck and really small head. E collars and donuts wouldn’t stay on as she would find the first corner and hook it at the edge and just back out of them. Vet learned to stitch her up with fine wire and left ends up so they pricked her lip if she tried to bother them. First time I took her back to get stitches put back in he fussed at me about taking the collar off. I told him to watch and put it back on she went right to the doorframe and backed out of it. He tried a donut and she did the same thing. That’s when he first started with the wire stitches. Not she didn’t run free we have a fenced in yard. But we live in the country and she went for any animal that got in the yard. Squirrel, raccoon, cats, rats, groundhog,even had an elk jump the fence one day. Did it stop my terrier from charging? No, not even a little hesitation.
How come i only found this channel today? Hahahah it's so accurate and funny at the same time. And with this cute guy speaking makes the video even better. Cheers from Rio de Janeiro 🌻 (and meowings from my 4 cats and a woof from my dog)
When my lab mix had surgery, he had to wear an e-collar and he weaponized it. He would just walk straight into people and objects with the cone and it was like getting hit by a tank. It was such a relief when we were able to take it off.
As a cat mother with an anxiety ridden Ginger girl, I would be apologizing profusely for any harm she would probably do to the vet assistants when they'd try to lay hands on her to hold her still for anything. (She's a rescue. Not sure of her past. She is improving for me! I can actually pick her up sometimes without fear of needing stitches. Confoundingly, she's uber curious with anything I do and will rub up against me and come over to investigate anything I'm doing. Doesn't even flee a vacuum cleaner.)
The poop ninja thing is so accurate! I too have three cats and it's hard to tell if one of them is having issues, especially figuring out which one! There's no identifiers on whose poop or pee is whose! 😭
Man, this reminded me, my last dog was allergic to fleas and, it never failed that at some point in the summer, he'd get fleas and we'd have to put the cone of shame on him so his back could heal from the scratching. Poor baby :(
I'm glad I haven't encountered the "can't catch my cat to go to the vet" problem 😅 My cat was more used to us going on a bus trip to another town for holiday when the carrier was on the floor so she had no idea we were even going to the vet. One trip to the vet, I even had her carrier open in the bus (but with her collar tethered) because she wanted to see the scenery. No risk of her trying an escape or a hide, that's how she was :)
I’m a dog owner and this very relatable. (Although i personally wouldn’t refuse an overnight stay or wearing an ecollar) I have to say there’s definitely been times I disagreed with my vet because “I know them”. Like when they said to feed my little pups certain foods when they were sick (canned hills science). I let them know my dogs are not going to eat that and I got the good ole well give it a try. Sure enough after a full day of trying they did not eat the recommended canned food and so I had to give them a homemade meal. I did have to leave one of my pups overnight for days after surgery at the vet hospital and that pulled at my heart with the exception of sleep I spent the entire day at the hospital holding my little girl and feeding her so she could eat and sleep. She was so excited every morning I’d come. I can’t imagine being like “ok cool peace let me know when they’re ready “
I have 8 cats and 2 dogs. They all get 6 monthly checkups with our vet. My cats are easy to take to the vet as they're all harness trained and get excited when they see their harnesses. They also know that the vet will give them treats once they've finished their examinations. Both of my dogs used to love the vet, but after one of them had to be treated following a bad cut on her paw, she now hates going to the vet. Any of my animals will wear a cone if it's needed, but when possible, we use a medical pet suit instead.
i tried helicopter parenting my oldest cat.... she let me know real fast she wasnt having that shit lol. i wanted to do the adventure cat thing with her,,,, all i did was create an obsession to get outdoors and well thats problematic lol. i have to watch the door like a hawk when i go outside, and most times she still manages to get past me so i end up chasing her down and its just a scene. all my neighbors have told me they have ring footage of me yelling ELLIE STOP and running past their door then coming back by a couple minutes later holding her and telling her im sorry but she cant be outside alone etc lmao.
I'm pretty sure my cat thinks he's the helicopter parent and I'm the child. He's always checking on me and fussing over me and walking me to the door when I leave and stays in the window until I'm gone and back at the door when I return and the cycle of him fussing over me and checking on me starts all over again. He's so very sweet.
Lol “like 9 years? I dunno, he’s always seemed fine and he’s really hard to catch.” 😼 This is so many people’s cats.
My mom brought in the wrong cat once. Her and dad -in their 70s - were just thrilled to get the stinker in the carrier, but didn't realize it was the wrong one 🐈 😂
indoor cats are really much good. they will tell you when they're stressed out from something and you'll know right away.
I have both cats and dogs.
My dogs: Oh yes, he was in here 4 months ago when we updated his prescription for his allergies.
My cats: IDK, when did he get he get fixed as a kitten?
I got this carrier off chewy for my cat and it’s really more for a small dog, but he loves it. He sleeps in it all the time and sometimes to take him to the vet all I have to do is walk over and zip it up. If I have to actually pick them up and put him in it, it zips from the top or the front, so it’s really easy. The struggle of getting my cat to the vet disappeared from my life when I got that thing. It’s called a pet club go and it was like 40 bucks.
Meanwhile my cats have cat herpes... so its "Last month." or "last week."
So true about being hard to catch. I once had to call the vet to delay an appointment because I could not find my cat. I'd failed to get her in the carrier once so she was hiding to wait me out. Making this more embarrassing: I have a studio apartment. I still have no idea where she hid for those hours.
I know EXACTLY what you’re saying!!! Been there many times!
I know! Mine will go under the bed sometimes, and I literally can’t get them out unless I bribe them by opening a can.
I have to be stealthy about when I pull the carrier out because she won't notice if I do it when she's not in the room. Then treat bribery usually works. She hasn't caught onto that one, yet. 😂
@@KaiyaCorrbin I have sometimes pulled the carrier out DAYS in advance and just left it in plain sight so they have time to forget about it! 😸😸😸
As a vet tech I can assure you that you were probably not even the first client that week to have to make that phone call lmao
I often play the "open 7 cans of food to see which offering he's going to like" game with my cat. 😂
I got new types of food for my cats cos I thought they'd get bored but they refused to eat any of them so I've had to go back to the same old same old. I dunno how they do it.
Every day.
😂😂😂
I had to do that with my elderly dog. Then we’d play “which of your many flavored treats do you want now”. lol
We do that game with our dog 😅
When she senses a vet appointment, my cat vanidhes into some pocket dimension to hide until I have missed the appointment. Then she'll just cadually stroll out, smug and victorious but playing it cool like, Sup, we doin' anything?
We had one like that with my mum. We couldn't say the word "veterinarian" or she would hide, so we called him by his name. It worked for a while, then we had to find a nickname.
Knowing that she had a terrible mouth condition when she was around 11, it lasted a for a year and a half. We had to catch her once a month for cortisone injections.
Then she lost her last tooth and that was done, and she lived until 19 😂
Poop ninjas. 10000% accurate.
See my cat will hop in the box while I’m cleaning it. I’m like, “you had 23 hours and 58 other minutes you could’ve chosen.”
Poop ninja zoomies.... that's how I know when my cats used the litter box.
My dog does the same thing ... just not a ninja or in the litter box.
😆🤣😂
Mine likes to poop when I'm pooping in a show of solidarity.
Especially when you have a cat that goes outdoors to poop.
Mine likes tell everyone in the house after he finishes.
Again, as a veterinarian I 100% agree. With the exception of asking what they are eating. It is usually "I don't know, its in a green bag" or "Well he did eat a ham bone last year, so..."
Meanwhile if it’s a lab the answer is everything including a tennis ball
Poor bastards, my cats eat only the highest quality meat and God save me if they don't.
I know exactly what my cat eats for breakfast, dinner, and treats. I can even tell the vet about what supplements she might get. Currently, I've been mixing a small amount of pure, no sugar added cranberry juice to her nightly canned food three times a week to prevent any possibility of another UTI/bladder infection. (Yes, she eats better than me and I make sure of it!)
@@yaelz6043 One of mine only likes the cheapest food you can find 😂If it's the good quality, expensive food he won't eat it while our other cats prefer that one
@@NeonJJ_195 they coordinate this stuff on purpose.
Cat owner: “Donut neck? Serves him right thinking he’s Tarzan’s pet lion.”
"You want to put an E-collar...on my cat?"
*pulls up video app on phone*
"World Star!"
I knew cat owner would laugh bc I did too 😂😂
Vet: Your cat needs to be hospitalized.
Me: How much is it gonna cost?
There we go, this is why I couldn't relate to either of them ;^_^
We managed a full year of Care Club for our new kittens -- the product of a stray cat we took in where we basically noticed the tummy around the same time I was finally ready to conclude the cat was ours for good -- and I'm shocked that we managed that, budget-wise. But it gave them a good start on vaccines and let us handle the worries of the first year with appropriate vet visits as often as needed.
The vet bill is a faucet that you open and never know when it's going to close
😭 that’s so true ! So far my pitbull has costed around $20K in 7 years worth of vet bills.
@@mineandmine4528 wow...that is a lot 🙏
The cone of shame doesnt stay on my cats, no matter what i do. The girl Houdini's out of it and taught her brother the same (she's also the cat that learned how to open her carrier door and things with a lever door handle). Got cat onesies instead, its good so far, but she walks around like a spider monkey 😂
It’s so hard to get cats to keep stuff on! They’re not having it 😾 and downright determined to get out.
@@mkchristner I know, cats are stubborn little things. Although thankfully it didn't take long to learn that licking her open sore from her hotspot = time for onesie. She'd try to fake me out like "oh see I'm just grooming my leg", then immediately lick her sore on her lower belly when I'm not looking.
I tried the onsies for my cat, as my daughter used inside after her cat had surgery and he was fine with it. Not my girl though; even though it fit well, she flopped down on her side and refused to get up. After waiting several hours, I finally gave up and took it off, then she got up and started walking around.
My smaller cat would get out of the cone of shame just as fast as you could turn around. My vet taught me how to make a harness with surgical gauze and it did the trick. She wasn’t happy though!!
@@anitaanderson2871 That's exactly how that went with my cat too! Well. I gave up after 20 minutes or so, she seemed absolutely miserable, like a complete ragdoll. I think it's something about the pressure from all sides that makes them think they're trapped, even though it's not tight? But yeah, the cone worked way better, she had the hang of living with it pretty quickly.
Most of the time dogs are innocent babies and cats are business partners we begrudgingly love 😂
Depends on the animal. Seriously.
My mother paid $600 for a show quality pedigreed dog back in 1989. Bandit was an absolutely spoiled princess of a dog who was destructive on a level I had never seen. This dog chewed paint off the walls and chased car headlights at three in the morning, among other things. She was a holy terror!
Most of my cats were strays/free and some of the sweetest pets I ever had the pleasure to know. I'm not joking, either!
Accurate in my household!
we call my dog (Patterdale terrier mix) the "house werewolf" or the "Mississippi Screamer"- but most of the time she's a sweet baby angel.
One of my favorite memories of my Caraway, probably the tiniest little old lady cat on the planet, is when she had surgery to remove a polyp in her ear and had to wear an e-collar. You could not leave her to her own devices because she managed to remove it multiple times despite us doing our best to secure it. One time she turned it into a skirt. I have a picture of her wearing her collar skirt on my bed, mid-yell. Such a spry and spunky little thing, and such a lovebug. I miss her dearly.
I WISH you had posted that picture! 😂❤
So sorry you lost your kitty but what great memories.
My Dachshund got his e-collar hooked on the door hardware of a bottom kitchen cabinet.
From the other room I heard BAM! BAM! BAM!
Followed the sound to find him facing the cabinet, backing away, only to be repeatedly pulled forward again.
Being a vet must be so challenging, not because of the patients, but rather the clients.
Is “e-collar” just another term for an Elizabethan collar? Because it sounds like it’s connected to the internet or something 😄
As someone who has a veterinarian mother and grew up hearing all the stories- yes, the clients are 100% the hardest part
Did you stand there and laugh because I would have.😂
@@DissociatedWomenIncorporatedIt’s an electric collar.
@@smolson8471 I know electric collars are a thing, but they won’t stop your pet scratching or licking wounds, so I don’t think that’s what it is in this context.
the surgery collar was so accurate. my cat has a neck scratching issue at the moment, keeps opening a wound on it, and i was laughing my ass off at her stupid ass wearing a flower collars. if her glares could kill i'd be dead a dozen times over
😂😂😂😂😂
The optimal cat-carrier loading procedure is something like this:
1: Bring carrier into bathroom. Set carrier on end on bathroom floor. Ensure cat does not see carrier being moved.
2: Carry cat into bathroom. Keep cat's face against your chest so cat does not see carrier.
3: Close door behind you with your foot/body. At this point, cat is contained in a small room with carrier.
4: Take cat by the front legs and lower into carrier from above. Cat will try to stand on carrier with rear legs, but this is all it can do at this point.
5: Once cat is in carrier and being carried... keep a hand on the door just for luck. I once had a cat unlatch the carrier door by blind panic and nearly escape in the vet's parking lot.
lol my dog loved her inflatable doughnut collar. She figured out she could use it as a pillow wherever she went.
Sure, maybe you don't know about your cat's defication because you don't pay attention to your cat. Or maybe it's because as soon as you get distracted by something, the dog beelines for the litter box to eat cat's poop.
Ah, yes. The forbidden kitty crunchies. Then they eat it & get the squirts.
Oh...🤢
huh?
My cat HATED wearing an e-collar, and we didn't even have the donut option bc her back paw was injured and the donut would've still let her lick at it. She slipped out of it a lot too. Worse two weeks of her life, but she did look hilarious
We had to put a cone on our first cat at one point, when she had only returned to having a home (following roughing it for over a year, after abandonment) for a month. I expected problems, but she wore it stoically and didn't try to remove it. She showed other calmness and serenity that I didn't expect, especially after living without a home. I really think this cat understood gratitude. She was the perfect "starter" cat.
as a cat servant, i 100% agree with both videos, as a dog owner i also agree lol
My cat had to wear the e-collar (cone of shame) a couple months and she learned to back herself out the cat door to get outside. Cats are clever! (The wound over her eye FINALLY healed so she could be free again.) She's now 16 years old.
That's really clever
As a cat owner who is a previous dog owner, I'm still pretty much a dog owner in behaviour 😂 (except when it comes to the cone of Shame, the cone of Shame stays for as long as needed)
Same!
Very much the same. Cats go to the vet every six months whether they need to or not! Blood samples, teeth check, the whole deal. (Our vet did catch something chronic very early in one of our cats, and because they spotted it on the blood panel so early we can manage it and he's living a great life now.)
I've only ever been around dogs before taking these 2 cats in, so I understand that completely. My family gave me weird looks when I tell the cats to sit before giving them food/treats, or teaching them to reach for the door knob when they want to go in or out of a room. They'll also sprint after sticks and those wool balls when I throw them, couldn't teach them to fetch though. 😅
same. I have to unlearn a lot 😂
@@Killer_Turnip omg you described exactly how i raised my cat after growing up with multiple dogs
Omg, as someone with a cat and a dog, the scheduling differences are so accurate. 😅 although I do keep my cat on a yearly schedule at least.
As a cat owner, everything is accurate. Our Jimmy was obsessed with Blue Buffalo canned cat food. We brought a 24 case of it about 2 months ago. We have 20 cans left. 😂
my English bulldog loved vet visits all his life. he was so happy from the whole idea to go there
He was one of a kind, that's for sure!
I mean... Every vet I've seen at my preferred office recommends only bringing a cat in if they seem like they need it, no check-ups. And I've cleaned up enough pee with paper towels to agree.
Lol, that last one got me, I had a rescue cat that acted like a pedigree cat when it came to food. Also, yes, my cats are hard to catch as well and when you do intend to do something like that you damn near make sure it is for a very good reason because for the next year they will side step you when ever they see you.
Oh yes!! They have a long memory!!
I´m a cat owner, and everything is pretty much accurate except the last part. I´d be very anxious and sad knowing that my little girl has to stay in a hospital 🥺
Offerings lol, "Is this the right type of tuna? no, you only like the organic, tinned water, white tuna?" Cat stares. "We only have regular. " Cat stares "...." Cat continues to stare "fine, I'll be right back, I just have to go the grocery store at midnight."
My cat wriggled out of every hard plastic e-collar, even to the point of cutting her heels on the edge trying to kick it off. Then i got her a soft "flower" cone and though she still ran into walls and knocked over her water dish without fail, ahe didnt try to wriggle out of it.
I have 2 dogs and 3 cats, if you tell me any are in heart failure, you're putting them down. I love my animals but im not letting them suffer
Can confirm the part about cats and their visit schedules (or lack thereof). My dad took my boy Licorice to the vet for the first time in years to get an ESA form, and not only was he hard to get into the carrier, but it was so long since his last visit that they wouldn’t fill out the form. :'D
Bro my parnets can is 12 years old and went to the vet once when she was 3 to get spayed then never again
This was funnier than the first one. As a long term cat owner plus carer of the barn cats at a local stable and feral cat colony manager, I think I have given all those exact answers to some poor veterinarian😂😂😂 Thanks for the laughs😄
My mom's dog took her last e-collar without a fuss and that's when I realized we weren't going to save her. Turned out: cancer.
Yeah I lost my previous dog to a sudden aggressive cancer too, he was my 4th rescue and I had only had him for 2yrs & 1 month, he had minor surgery for a growth on his eyelid and a tooth out, and a knee X-ray as he partially tore his ACL in his knee, he was going to have surgery about 5 weeks later but I got home from work and he wouldn’t stand up, his cancer was in his hip bone which apparently for cats and dogs extremely rare so in that month the cancer spread all the way down his leg, and into his lungs and the external tissue of his hip and thigh as it was winter he wore his jumper but to me I just thought it was his thigh muscles being in spasm, luckily I had previously bought a help em up harness which has a chest & shoulder piece and a pelvis lower back section and connect together across the back and has rugged handles at both spots because he was a Bull Arab and he was 42kgs-92.5lbs and I was lifting him in and out of my car, and he still wanted to sleep on my bed with me. The night before I had the vet come out to do it, he did something he had never done before I was laying on my left side and he usually slept with his back against mine, he turned around and placed his chin and bottom jaw and laid it on my left cheek it was so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time, I had told him a number of times that the vet was coming the next day to help him go to sleep and not be in any pain anymore, geez it’s making me have a few tears now writing it down it’s 2s years on the 11th April. He helped me get through the first 9 months of losing my soulmate to breast cancer, he took such amazing care of me he was 9 & 4 months old when I adopted him, if it wasn’t for the cancer he was In really good shape for a large dog he was taller than the two German Shepherd’s I had. But I adopted another dog 2 months later who helped me, as I always believe it’s my previous dog that picks out my next dog as the one I need and the dog that needs me. This one is covered in scars from loads of abuse he is between 8-11yrs now, he took so much slow gentle training and time with him building his confidence he also helped my grief for my girlfriend and my dog, because I had something I had to really look after who really needed me, obviously I needed him too and will until it’s his time and if I go before him, I have lined up a friend of mine who he loves and who we house & dog & cat sit for, and she looked after him when I was traveled a year ago for 3 weeks, she has promised to take him as my family would just take him to a shelter. The hard part of loving is the grieving when we lose them but the size of our grief is the size of our love for them whether human or companion animal, or any animal that we have a strong connection with. Thank goodness for these beautiful creatures in our lives that teach us so much about happiness and living in the moment, and to allow all the little things to makes us happy, and to let go of grievances quickly and to move on to something more joyful.
Ugh, cancer. That's probably what took my poor Meezer cat from me. I'm so sorry.
Eff cancer. All my homies hate cancer.
My first dog went due to cancer. Second was heart failure. Third(just yesterday) was liver failure. I keep looking at the last of my pack asking "how are you gonna break my heart? Yall been keeping me on my toes"
You know why our boy kitty doesn't go to vet as often? HE HATES CAR RIDES! Our cat is such a sweet boy, do I want to hear him yowl or meow in discomfort the entire car ride? NOPE! Even though we have a carrier he fits in I'm seriously considering getting one of those Cat-in-the-bag carriers in hopes of making car rides more tolerable for him. Thank God eBay has some for sale used for a lower price!
I got a Happy Hoodie for my cat during baths/car rides. I've only tried it 2 times, but it's actually not bad. She'll freeze and tolerate it for a little while. A little pricey at $12 but could see if it helps.
@Killer_Turnip
I will consider it. It does look like a smart product. I am considering the Cat-in-the-bag also because I'd like to trim his nails safely and there's ways to access one paw at a time and trim their murd*r mittens using the Cat-in-the-bag.
My boy was so traumatized in the car. He was dumped near us at about 1.5 yrs old, so maybe he associated cars with abandonment. He'd walk in backward circles in his carrier yowling horribly. Once I was seriously afraid he might have a heart attack. He was all fine as soon as we got home, but, yeah, I know what you mean! He was the sweetest boy, Beauregard. ❤
Maybe try spending some time in the car with him while it's stationary, like let him explore, sniff etc, and once he's comfortable with the vehicle, put the motor on idle? It might help. We had a cat who actually loved being in the car but hated being in a crate going to the vet. Sometimes we'd take him for a little drive around the block and he would love looking out the window (closed). I still miss him 😢
It's okay when your cat just meows and yowls in a carrier. The other story is when your cats PUKES and SHITS every time you want to take it to the vet or just anywhere. My dad's cat is like that. She's sweet but really nervous. Every time I help my father to take her in a carrier, we ONLY leave his block-of-flats, and she ALREADY starts to foam a saliva from her mouth. My cat only meows and grumbles, when I take her somewhere, and believe me, it's a blessing😅
My cat had a urinary stone removed last year and had to wear a vest during recovery. She hated it so much that she started urinating everywhere. It was bad and caused me so much stress I had a panic attack. When she got it off early I didn’t even try to put it back on - her behavior resolved immediately upon getting the vest off
This was too accurate. As a cat owner, we cater to them, they do not cater to us. xD
As a cat owner (in between cats right now), I find the portrayal of dog and cat owners more accurate than Part 1!
I work with cats in a shelter and this is so painfully accurate 😂
every one of these I watch, I'm more and more thankful that I went through the effort of leash training my cat XD
It's always a pleasant surprise for the vet, and he gets to explore. win-win!
He does always seem fine and he really IS hard to catch😂😂😂
The food thing is why we feed our 4 on a randomized rotating variety list. They have favorites, and not-this-agains, but only once did we find something that they really didn't like. Even that they ate but just took their sweet time. Discrete mealtimes and being born as ferals probably helps counteract the natural cat pickiness
I have a poop ninja! 🤣 Where can I buy that floppy hat?
I have PTSD from e-collars. We had a puppy who had to be in one for two weeks. She would run at you full speed, and hit you as hard as she could with it. I was COVERED in bone bruises for weeks afterwards. So painful! It wasn't until about a year later that the pet stores in the area started to carry the softer e-collars.
My cat only likes one brand of food, it has to be ‘in gravy’ (no pate) and it must be a new can after 5 mins (we keep the tin and trick him).
My dog will literally eat anything, especially things that he shouldn’t which then requires a visit to the vet 😅.
The poop problem is so real! I have four cats and four litter boxes (I know, I know, I need five boxes. Working on it!) and any time I see any kind of change I just stare at it, trying to decide if it's bad enough that I need to catch All Four Cats to see if One of them may possibly have a health issue that they don't have the capacity to communicate. (We're working on buttons specifically so that they can press "ouch" if needed).
Not sure I agree with the rest of the portrayals though. Can owners aren't usually that callous? I haul them all off to be de-wormed, de-flead and vaccinated every time we get an automated reminder from the vet.
Indoor cats that never go outside and live in a single family home probably don't need the regular flea and tick treatments unless you're regularly bringing fleas and ticks into your house. Or unless you have mice.
That said, escapes happen and it's always the "but sometimes" situations that come back to bite us in the butt when we're not expecting it.
(Pst. It's 1½ per cat, not 1¼. It should be 6.)
@@SadisticSenpai61I live in SC and if you keep your windows open, they need tick and flea treatment. I learned the hard way, after moving to SC from PA. My vet explained about how highly fleas can jump, and how they’re more active in hot climates 🤷🏻♀️
@@christinec7892 Ah. Yeah, I live in the North so it's not that much of a concern here. Good to know tho.
I enjoy the humor, but I enjoy the biceps even MORE. 😊
So accurate 😂😭 my exact reaction when my cat had to have a cone after his snip snip but he didn’t mind it surprisingly!
My one cat fought so hard to get in the carrier he ripped the pants I was wearing. I showed up covered in scratches, and he was an absolute baby doll with the vets. They looked at me like I was crazy.
I work at a mobile vet clinic, and I can say this is extremely accurate to what I hear from pet parents.
To be fair the one cat I don’t bring to the vet every year is my house feral. I can’t pick her up and gabapentin doesn’t work on her. The last time I managed to catch and bring her into the vet she wasn’t sedated enough from the gabapentin for them to fully examine her. This was after I doubled the dose like they asked.
I had one cat and dog after being spaded was called early to pick them up because they were causing grief and were there ready for me to take when I arrived, the others the medication kept calm and seemed the vets were enjoying their company lol, some fight it for sure
My cat is a former feral, and needs gabapentin for visits. One time when I went to pick him up after a tooth cleaning, they asked if I would mind coming in the back to put him in the carrier. As soon as I walked into the area they had the cats, I could hear his low, but also loud, growl. Luckily I just had to put the carrier right up to the door of his cage and he went rent in. He had the vet techs terrified 😂😂
The question is, how do you get the gabapentin down her? I haven't figured out the successful trick to that yet
get liquid, or pull apart the capsule and mix it into some wet food.
I actually know my cat's litter box habits fairly well. She also saw the vet two months ago. 😅
"I'll make sure that it stays on him" WELL GOOD LUCK WITH THAT
Our cat is so social she runs to the door for visitors and eats anything.
I took my new cat to the vet and he was like "what's her history" "I dunno she just kinda wandered in from the street"
The cat distribution network is working.
@@caitlinhs9670 the CDN needs to take a chill pill I aint 40 yet there's still hope to not be the crazy cat person on the block
@@foxinasweater2300embrace it. My wife's been a crazy cat lady since she was born. Her first word was "kitten". We're still not 40 yet, either.
And here is me having to scoop my cats poop immediately because she lets me know she is doing the no2 by making the most noise possible beforehand and meows outragedly afterward until the litterbox has been returned to the pre poop cleanliness levels.
the "open 7 cans" hit hard. LOL.
The whole cat thing aside from the food is relatable. My Moe loved any food and I had to watch him so he wouldn't eat too quickly. He now has a new home and I told the new person to keep using the litter container that I had for food storage because he would tear open the food bag and eat from there, she didn't listen.
My youngest cat was the poop ninja -- she was the beta cat of the household. My oldest was NOT a poop ninja. She'd walk into the box while I was in there, dig a hole halfway to China, then poop on top of the resulting pile of litter, making uncomfortable eye contact the whole time, and walk out without covering it. Needless to say, she was the alpha cat, and that was HER litterbox and don't you forget it.
You are pretty spot on so funny! You are a great comedian as well as vet!👍🏻😃🥰🦊
I thought all cats tried to poop without being seen until I had to take in my neighbors' two cats when they couldn't care for them anymore. They were strictly outdoor cats, but we caved and let them inside.
I was scooping the box that we had for our own cat, then the big tom kitty from next door who had literally never seen a litter box in his life hopped in right in front of me while I was scooping it and shamelessly took a poop right then and there. Maybe because it smelled like cat poop already? But I was flabbergasted that we didn't have to house train either of them at all. Both of them already knew what to do.
Sometimes my cats will wait until we're around before going. Not sure if it's because we sometimes encourage them (like before a car ride) or us going to the bathroom reminds them to go.
Ok, but as a multi cat owner, that poop question is almost impossible to answer.
All me re: dogs, except the last one. Anytime our vet recommends a procedure that is to help our furbabies past and present feel better, we tell the doctor to do whatever is necessary. I hate leaving them at the clinic, but if that's what is needed, absolutely that's what we'll do. I do ask if they can check in on them (as if you guys don't do that) and remind them how much they are loved, that mommy and daddy miss them and they'll come home soon. In regards to the e-collar, our golden figured out if she puts the edge on the molding by a door, she can bend the collar and somehow finagle getting to her leg (surgery area). We had to get one of those bands that go around the body and covers the leg in addition to a neck pillow
I love this series. Subscribed!
I don’t know why I expected this to be the other way around lmao
Now I'm just remembering how our dog kept ramming us with the e collar until we got a donut that he loved to use as a pillow just to save our legs the bruises🤣
Meanwhile the cats were always removing their e collars. My sister used an old sock on her cat to stop her from licking at the surgery site when she got fixed since she was small enough for that to be an option
The “opening up seven cans of food to see what offering he’s going to like game” really, really, really describes my picky Oliver. He hates everything except for Fancy Feast chicken and even that sometimes isn’t good enough for his majesty.
The last one is so true!
Which offering?
Some cats still act like they demand to be worshipped.
You put in so much effort making it fun. Lovely video.
I discovered this channel just today and this guy is absolutely hilarious!!
Had one dog who had a really big neck and really small head. E collars and donuts wouldn’t stay on as she would find the first corner and hook it at the edge and just back out of them. Vet learned to stitch her up with fine wire and left ends up so they pricked her lip if she tried to bother them. First time I took her back to get stitches put back in he fussed at me about taking the collar off. I told him to watch and put it back on she went right to the doorframe and backed out of it. He tried a donut and she did the same thing. That’s when he first started with the wire stitches. Not she didn’t run free we have a fenced in yard. But we live in the country and she went for any animal that got in the yard. Squirrel, raccoon, cats, rats, groundhog,even had an elk jump the fence one day. Did it stop my terrier from charging? No, not even a little hesitation.
You've heard of a shy pooper? Well, my cat is a lonely pooper. Most of the time, he goes when one of my family members does
Again with the accuracy with the food for cats LOL
How come i only found this channel today? Hahahah it's so accurate and funny at the same time. And with this cute guy speaking makes the video even better. Cheers from Rio de Janeiro 🌻 (and meowings from my 4 cats and a woof from my dog)
Worked in vet clinics for 18 years and yeah this tracks....
Really love these.
When my lab mix had surgery, he had to wear an e-collar and he weaponized it. He would just walk straight into people and objects with the cone and it was like getting hit by a tank. It was such a relief when we were able to take it off.
As a cat mother with an anxiety ridden Ginger girl, I would be apologizing profusely for any harm she would probably do to the vet assistants when they'd try to lay hands on her to hold her still for anything. (She's a rescue. Not sure of her past. She is improving for me! I can actually pick her up sometimes without fear of needing stitches. Confoundingly, she's uber curious with anything I do and will rub up against me and come over to investigate anything I'm doing. Doesn't even flee a vacuum cleaner.)
found your channel got yourself a new sub loved this video and the 1st one of it so true to most of that for me lol
The poop ninja thing is so accurate! I too have three cats and it's hard to tell if one of them is having issues, especially figuring out which one! There's no identifiers on whose poop or pee is whose! 😭
Haha, that’s my cat, but she does run like a bat out of hell in the middle of the night and does eat a strict diet because she is too dang picky. 😆
“Do you pay any attention when you scoop out the box?”
It’s not like their turds have name tags attached to them. 😂
Man, this reminded me, my last dog was allergic to fleas and, it never failed that at some point in the summer, he'd get fleas and we'd have to put the cone of shame on him so his back could heal from the scratching. Poor baby :(
Once a year for shots and wellness check for our three moggies. But these skits are really on point.
im a former dog guardian turned Cat guardian, so ima mix of both. im currently preparing an offering for my Lil Guy! God Bless!
"I don't know - 8, 9 years ago? Well, just he's always seemed fine! And he's really hard to catch." CAT OWNERS! 😹😂😹😂😹😂‼️
Love that all these comments are of cat owners and our experiences are so similar. They're the funniest, smartest and some--dumbest little things!!
Currently have two cats here with the inflatable donuts in the shape of a strawberry and an orange (for the ginger) bc cuteness and FUNNY!!!
I'm glad I haven't encountered the "can't catch my cat to go to the vet" problem 😅 My cat was more used to us going on a bus trip to another town for holiday when the carrier was on the floor so she had no idea we were even going to the vet. One trip to the vet, I even had her carrier open in the bus (but with her collar tethered) because she wanted to see the scenery. No risk of her trying an escape or a hide, that's how she was :)
I’m a dog owner and this very relatable. (Although i personally wouldn’t refuse an overnight stay or wearing an ecollar) I have to say there’s definitely been times I disagreed with my vet because “I know them”. Like when they said to feed my little pups certain foods when they were sick (canned hills science). I let them know my dogs are not going to eat that and I got the good ole well give it a try. Sure enough after a full day of trying they did not eat the recommended canned food and so I had to give them a homemade meal. I did have to leave one of my pups overnight for days after surgery at the vet hospital and that pulled at my heart with the exception of sleep I spent the entire day at the hospital holding my little girl and feeding her so she could eat and sleep. She was so excited every morning I’d come. I can’t imagine being like “ok cool peace let me know when they’re ready “
Just found your videos! Very funny!!!😅
Apparently I’m a dog owner who has a cat. Except for the food thing. I’m forced to do the cat owner routine.
These are hysterical!! 😂😂😂
Laughs in automatic Litterbox
As a family of cats AND dogs, I can agree with this totally.
As someone who has a dog and two cats I feel so seen right now 😂
I have 8 cats and 2 dogs. They all get 6 monthly checkups with our vet. My cats are easy to take to the vet as they're all harness trained and get excited when they see their harnesses. They also know that the vet will give them treats once they've finished their examinations.
Both of my dogs used to love the vet, but after one of them had to be treated following a bad cut on her paw, she now hates going to the vet.
Any of my animals will wear a cone if it's needed, but when possible, we use a medical pet suit instead.
True about the vet visits. My cat was 100% indoors and only went to the vet before we moved. The dog goes twice a year…
Make one where the cat owner is like helicopter mum and the dog owner is chill.
i tried helicopter parenting my oldest cat.... she let me know real fast she wasnt having that shit lol. i wanted to do the adventure cat thing with her,,,, all i did was create an obsession to get outdoors and well thats problematic lol. i have to watch the door like a hawk when i go outside, and most times she still manages to get past me so i end up chasing her down and its just a scene. all my neighbors have told me they have ring footage of me yelling ELLIE STOP and running past their door then coming back by a couple minutes later holding her and telling her im sorry but she cant be outside alone etc lmao.
Cats don't allow that to happen... 😭
@@hollyshaw-elliemae instead of running after her... Try sitting down and pretend you just found something interesting. She will come to you.
I'm pretty sure my cat thinks he's the helicopter parent and I'm the child. He's always checking on me and fussing over me and walking me to the door when I leave and stays in the window until I'm gone and back at the door when I return and the cycle of him fussing over me and checking on me starts all over again. He's so very sweet.
