Your father's face says it all...how kind and gentle he is to the kittens is so endearing. ❤
Yeah. Him saying he was never a cat person is all a front because he really loves them all and they bring smiles and joy into his heart.💖🐱😺💖
Thank you! He's a converted man now.
Totally love this. Not 'a cat person ' (dog mom) but ended up fostering 2 litters- to learn fostering ANY animal is rewarding.
Yes! We are PET people! I have cats, but I love ALL pets.
Good parents are a blessing that not everyone has it.
I honestly didn't appreciate them enough until I ended up back at home with them as an adult. It just hits differently when you're close to the same age they were when they had you.
@@whiskstowhiskers Feel this too as I got older I appreciated my parents a lot more, once you leave school and step into the real world and experience all these things sometimes you just finally get it. Why they did certain things, etc.
Yeah, my parents were and still are a wreck. Eventually learned I had to grieve not getting the parents I wish I could have had, come to terms and accept with what I was dealt, then find older people to serve as my role models.
That’s what I had to do. My mom hates it. It’s sad that if my mom does anything for me I instantly figure it’sa set up for something later… it usually is. Like blackmail
So True!
Your parents have beautiful energy, you can feel it from them. That's why you do too. I'm a cat lady lol
Her parents are lovely, so is she❤
Thank you! I appreciate this.
You dad is a lovely man. Cats can warm anyone's heart. You're mom is lovely too for helping your business and supporting you. Great story ❤
No one is immune to the charms of a kitten
Yep, when those people say they don’t like cats, kittens are excluded.😂
@@quiettornado1970 exactly kittens puppies melt even the coldest heart
Both of the parents are helping with the business and supporting her, not just the mom.
Mom too 😊
You can really hear her getting emotional relaying all of this. Its beautiful.
The world needs infinitely more of this unfiltered love and care
Thank you. I had a few raw moments when we were chatting.
What a great mom and dad you have!! So loving and it really looks like they were totally enjoying it ALL! Thanks for sharing
I try to watch happiness in the evening before sleep
Dad was on board after the 1st kitten lol.
You gave your parents the best fountain of youth present there is..love and purpose.
Beautiful story 💖
He was very surprised that I pulled a preemie out of my bag!
@whiskstowhiskers I just just love your family ❤️, I would have melted away seeing a little bitty kitten. I know he did.
Do you have your own RUclips Channel?
What a beautiful story. As we get older we have more appreciation for life and you can see that in her dads joy when he's caring for the tiny kittens
❤❤
I think he was most surprised when he discovered how small kittens can be and how with love and a lot of feedings, they grow up. The very first kitten in the video was like 72 grams.
@@whiskstowhiskers
When men become fathers our testosterone levels drop and never return to the same levels.
I don't know a lot about cats but I saw a documentary once that explained there is a very short window of time when the
"killer instinct" of new mother cats is turned off and they will adopt babies that are not theirs (even a different species like puppies).
Nature is bloody amazing how it ensures the survival of helpless newborns !
All it takes is one before you fall in love.
God knows that's the TRUTH ! ❤
It was Skooty's fault. She wouldn't relent until he accepted her friendship.
@@kathleenshabaan3806only gods around are cats
yup one kitten & it's over
Such sweet parents. ❤
Also: The having Western style furniture because "that is what you do", but still sitting on the floor, made me giggle with recognition.
I didn't notice that until reading this comment. So funny going back and seeing them sit almost entirely on the floor
They bought the couches to host people in our home after my grandmother's funeral, but they really do prefer the floor.
@@whiskstowhiskersit's good to practise sitting cross legged for joints too
This video made me laugh because it reminded me of my dad, who said he didn't like dogs, but if no one was around he was always talking to our dogs! He just didn't want to be overheard! But your dad went several steps further and fostered all those kittens and cats! You have fantastic parents!
I'm dogsitting my sister's terrified rescue dog while she's away. My dad said he wasn't "dealing with" the dog; meaning he wouldn't take her out while I was at work or anything. Well, he now talks to her when she follows me from my room to the kitchen, and he did take her out at least once the other day. He is more of a cat person, but he doesn't really want people knowing how much he can care about animals.
Thanks for letting me know! Sounds just like my dad. How nice of your sister to rescue a dog and how nice of you to dogsit. And your dad's helping. ☺@@SolaScientia
@@katjaanderson769 Yeah. She has a much older dog and 2 cats. She wanted a smaller dog and went to the shelter. The little dog she got there had been rescued from a puppy mill situation. The poor dog is terrified of everything and it took a full day for her to relax with me and now she's just as clingy to me as she is my sister. This is actually good for the dog since this forces her to interact with other people without my sister being there for her to cling to instead. It's good socialization that she really needs.
Total dad move there. I forgot to tell my dad about some of our fosters and he would run upstairs to ask me why there is a nice orange cat sitting in my mom's lap. I feel lucky that he was such a good sport about it.
@@whiskstowhiskers beautiful video I'm both and dog and cat person, but cats I love and my mom used to be scared of them now she says they're her grandchildren and spoils them.
Her Dad's face is adorable.
He really loves fostering
NO WAY is this dad not a cat person. When he looks at the foster kittens, his entire body exudes KINDNESS and LOVE for HIS little animals. What a LOVELY MAN!!
He's right. It's what parents do when their child asks for help.
This was so cool to see dad's face get so excited. Thank you for sharing ❤
What a beautiful story. I could watch this over and over just to see her father's expression on his face. It is so happy and peaceful. ❤
Kittens are his happy place now!
Hello how are you doing
Wow, Christina, you've done so much for your parents getting them involved in your business and kitty-fostering - and they've done so much for you and the kitties! I loved watching your video. Your entire family is beautiful. I hope you will do other videos when your cat cafe reopens.
Thank you! We had a partial reopen in October 2021 and we opened fully about 18 months ago. I'd love it if The Dodo covered Meow Parlour!
Hello how are you doing
My dad was the same way until I rescued a beautiful orange tabby and I named him Samus, my dad fell in love with him ...your dada and mom have beautiful souls 😊😊
Thank you! I appreciate it.
I’d be so proud to have parents like this! Amazing people, parents, and souls!
I'm very lucky to have my parents!
Hello how are you doing
You're parents are amazing💞you're very lucky 😺🐈⬛🐈🌎🌏🌍
Thank you! I feel very lucky to have them.
THIS IS SO ADORABLE! His face lights up so much when he's holding a kitten! AAAHHHHHHH
Someone made a comment that my dad looks and looks and looks at them and I can't unsee it.
What a man !
Wonderful people, good luck in your business.
Thank you!
I love these stories so much!! People opening their heart to kitties, so beautiful 🥰
Thank you!
What a beautiful story. It pulled at my heart strings as I can relate to the joy and contentment a cat can bring into your life. Your dad is a good man with a heart of gold! Btw, that wee grayish kitten that fit in palm of your dad's hand reminds of the time I happened to inherit my first cat, a ginger fellow named Bubba. He was just that size. A young boy came up to me and asked me if I wanted a kitten. Of course, as young twenty three year old man, I said no at first (as I wasn't a cat person, either). However, that lad insisted that I just hold him to see how nice the tiny fellow was. Well, that ginger fellow fit in the palm of my hand. He then crawled up my chest, over my heart (by design, I'm certain) and up onto my left shoulder where he curled up for a nap (and would continue to repeat that behavior for the remainder of his life). Then and there, I was sold on the little fellow. On the spot, I named him Bubba and he was coming home with me to an apartment I shared at the time with two other dudes! I was sure they'd be against Bubba living there, but he won them over as well! From then on, the three of us were Bubba fans. Afterward when I got out on my own, Bubba was my sidekick who went on rides with me in my pick up. He was also my rock during my trying times as well. RIP my dear boy. And, thank you, dear lady, for sharing. Your story stoked some of my fondest memories. May the good lord bless you all!
Thank you for sharing your memory of Bubba.
I love your dad! What a lovely gentle soul he has. You are so very lucky to have such wonderful parents.
Thank you!
Hello how are you doing
what a wonderful parents a great family 😊
Thank you!
Such a beautiful loving family! To see that smile on his face with the first kitten was priceless! ❤😻🥰😋
My dad was so surprised!
This is so cute! This man is so lovely and clearly has a lot of love to give and the cats respond with love. He is so gentle and kind. Really heart warming.
All of our fosters pick him. It bums my mom out though b/c she's so excited for them and they all pile on my dad's lap.
Cudowna rodzina niech Bog Was chroni 🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻
What a wonderful, WONDERFUL people… Your father looks like a child when he holds the kittens in his arms ❤️❤️❤️❤️
caring for the helpless is so gratifying and I'm glad your family experienced it with furry cuteness
You’re mum & dad are absolutely incredible ❤They have made great carers for the kitties & to be able to sew & make the cat things is fantastic! Please say thank you from me. Central Victoria Australia 🇦🇺
Having a purpose is keeping them young!
What an absolutely beautiful family! Your dad reminds me of my grandfather, who I miss a lot. Thank you for sharing a part of your home with us! ❤🫶🏼
Thank you! Sounds like your grandfather was also a huge animal lover.
Your dad is a hero-what a truly lovely man!❤❤❤
Thank you!
What a GREAT Dad. And a Great Video...TY for sharing.
Thank you!
The joy in Dad's face. Priceless.
Such a sweet family.
Thank you!
I can see that all the cats really love your dad and Dad loves them all too. Such a beautiful family and adorable cats. Thank you for a wonderful video. 😇🥰😻💖
this vid made my day. beautiful people. ❤❤
I don’t know what’s more touching, him taking care of the cats or how he and his wife helped and supported their
daughter’s business through the pandemic
Precious Dad and Mom helped with homeless kittens and, in turn, helped their daughter.
❤️🐈⬛🐈
Happiness in his eyes when he holds those kittens, just like proud grandparent. Parents seem so lovely, no wonder daughter turned out so caring ❤
What lovely, supportive parents you have.....and fostering the cats and kittens is an added bonus. Thank you for sharing your story. All of you (cats included) are to be highly commended for what you have done.
What an amazing heartwarming a video. Sing the parents help her with the business and all those sweet adorable cats and kittens... We need more videos like this in the world. Thank you for sharing❤
Thank you!
This is the IDEAL FAMILY! Running a CAT CAFE for rescued and foster cats and kittens, and involving the entire family in making cat toys and caring for those that may need a bit of extra help, while sharing love with each and every one of them. The 75 have all become part of your family. Do I dare ask about "FOSTER FAILS"? (There's always room for one more.) You are my FAVORITE FAMILY. Thank you for sharing your wonderful story.
Omg…this melted my heart…❤❤❤. The look on his face is just priceless! God bless you and your parents for doing what you do! I feel like dads often put on a facade, but these little angels unveil that tender heart! So sweet!!!
True, my dad kept pretending he didn't like cats and look at him now.
You can se the love in his eyes.
Hello how are you doing
SO SWEET! THANKS FOR SHARING! 🥰
Your Dad is such a lovely person. As someone with a Father who isn't a very good person, it's weirdly healing to see 💖👍
Truly wonderful parents to both humans and kitties.
After raising 4 kids, I bet my parents thought 75 kittens was a breeze!
@@whiskstowhiskers At least the round the clock bottle feeding would be less exhausting with the 3 of you doing shifts. From the blissful look on Dad's face I'm betting he is the lead bottle feeder.
Thank you to all of you for caring for these precious babies. You're lovely people.
Regards from Australia.
What a delightful story! He always looks so delighted when he is holding a kitten, helping feed them, etc.
As a korean guy I'm so happy to watch Korean story here❤ I can see how much the father feels great when he was with the cats.
I appreciate that! A lot of Korean dads have that tough facade, but they can't help themselves when facing a microkitten.
This is how life works. Love and kindness pass down through generations.
Her parents are simply lovely. They've raised a wonderful daughter. She has raised, at least 75 kittens.
Seriously, though..those parents. Wow.
Thanks fir sharing. It's so uplifting to know about such good people doing such good in this world.
Thank you!
That was so sweet. One of my favorite videos. Hope your business is thriving. You are blessed with such wonderful parents. Really loved your Dad's face when he got a new kitten. So precious.
Thank you! We reopened in October 2021 and things have been getting better since then.
This is so beautiful on multiple levels. Wonderful family
Thank you!
God bless you all ❤ So heart warming ❤ Beautiful ❤
Hello 👋👋
This is such a heartwarming story. Thanks for sharing.
Just what I needed to see in this mad world today..a man falling in love with kittens. Beautiful.Thank you for fostering, cats need you.
Hey good afternoon beautiful how are you doing today hope you're having a wonderful afternoon
His soul shines when he’s holding a kitten!❤
This guy and his wife for prez 2024
Tell your father that it's beautiful that he is a tender man. The absence of tender men produces a lot of suffering in this world & the love between you all is heartwarming ❤❤❤
Thank you. I will.
This is a Precious Story of the Love your Parents have for you and these Kittens !!♥️
hey there I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hear back from you!
My face hurt from smiling the whole time watching this sweet video🥰🥰🥰
Aww! Thank you!
They "the 🐈 s" will make them love them.😅😊 YOU HAVE NO CHOICE! 🤣😉😘
What a lovely man.
I love her father’s smile.
Thank you!
What a beautiful family. The line "This is what parents do" really got me. What a lucky gal to have these wonderful people as her parents.
Oh my goodness!!! This is so sweet. Your dad looks so happy helping these kitties. It's so touching to see dad's softer side. Thank you for❤❤❤ sharing this ❤❤❤
Thank you! He loves fostering.
Hello how re you doing
Love her Dad… what a sweet guy. The world needs more men like him.
Newborns will do that to a person, sweetest reactions
One of those times when you find out you have a knack for something. Most satisfying feeling in the world.
No matter the nationality our poppas will always be the biggest, toughest, strongest man on earth. It’s so heartwarming to see our pops melting in cuteness overload. 😂😂😂😂 my dad was also not an animal lover but his 3 girls were. He never stood a chance as a single father. ❤❤❤❤ 😂
Some dads are just softies inside and all it takes is a micro kitten to melt their exterior.
❤️❤️❤️
The look of awe and love on your father's face...nothing like it. You're lucky to have such wonderful parents.
Thank you!
Thanks very much for your help and support for all these precious lives ❤️😺
I remember this family! I’m so glad the Dodo featured them! Well deserved! ❤❤❤
