16 Cat Myths You Should Stop Believing

- There are plenty of myths and misconceptions about cats.
In this video, we will separate fact from fiction by sharing 16 common myths about cats.
Cats always land on their feet
Cats often land on their feet when they fall from a height. This is because they have innate ability known as ‘righting reflex’, whereby they’re able to twist their bodies around in the air while they are falling.
Where this is all true, the fact is that cats don’t always land on their feet. And this myth is very concerning because many cat owners take it literally.
Cats aren’t affectionate.
Many people think that cats are standoffish and less likely to love their owners. But the truth is that cats do love their owners-they just express affection much differently than dogs.
On that note, a study published in the journal Current Biology, found that cats form attachments to their owners that are similar to those that dogs and even babies form with their caregivers. Other studies have shown that cats see their owners as a source of comfort and security.
Cats Can Thrive on a Vegan Diet
Some people who choose a vegan diet also subject their feline friend to a meatless lifestyle. But cats are obligate carnivores and need meat to satisfy their nutritional needs.
Cats have nine lives
Although this is a silly myth, the concerning thing about this superstition is what it implies.
Many cat owners think that their feline doesn’t need particular care. But the reality is that cats require good care, preventative medicine, good food, good hygiene, and lots of love to ensure a long and happy life.
Cats purr when they are happy
Cats often purr when they are happy. However, they may also purr when they are stressed, frightened, are feeling unwell or in pain. They purr in order to provide comfort to themselves.
Milk is a great treat for cats
Many people think it is okay for cats to drink milk, However, most felines are lactose intolerant.
Declawing is not harmful
Declawing is a completely unnecessary surgery. Saving your furniture by destroying your cat’s body is not acceptable. Declawing is torturous for your cat.
Cats are cold and aloof.
Domestic cats are by nature more independent and tend towards solitary habits. This doesn't mean that cats are cold or aloof though.
Cats have had to survive as solitary animals.This means that cats are often wary of strangers or unknown circumstances as a way of self-protection.
Cats can’t be trained
While not as easily trainable as dogs, cats can indeed be taught certain commands such as sitting, staying or coming with the promise of treats.
Cats are nocturnal
Many people think cats are nocturnal because their cat wakes them up at 4 o’clock in the morning. However, cats are actually crepuscular. This means that they are most awake at dusk and dawn when there are better hunting opportunities. Cats are not hardwired to sleep during the day and be awake all night
Cats are low-maintenance pets that don't require much care
It’s common to hear that cats don't need as much care as dogs do.
While cats are independent and strong animals, they can also be delicate. As with any other pet in your house, cats need to be looked after as much as dogs do, and neglecting any of their needs can lead to health problems.
Black cats bring bad luck
Unfortunately, this myth is very concerning for black cats, as statistics have shown that these cats are the least adopted from shelters.
But the reality is that the color of a cat’s fur has nothing to do with luck.
Cats don’t like dogs
Although dogs and cats have been portrayed in Hollywood as enemies, the truth is that most cats and dogs do not see each other as direct competition and can actually get along very well.
Cats absolutely hate water
Many cats are actually fascinated by water and some even love to play with it, especially if it is running from a faucet. In reality, cats just generally don't like to be submerged in water.
Cats can see perfectly in total darkness
Depending on the light, the shape of a cat’s pupil can change from almost fully round to vertical slit. Although cats have a superior ability to see in near-darkness, they cannot see in total darkness.
Pregnant women cannot live with cats
This myth about cats giving pregnant women toxoplasmosis has led to some cats being abandoned by their owners.
This infection is very rare in cats who eat commercially prepared cat food, who have been domesticated from birth, and who have received their vaccinations.
And if a cat is not a carrier of this parasite, there's no risk of transmission to a pregnant woman. If you are worried, then have your cat checked for Toxoplasmosis at a vet, and as a double precaution, don't let pregnant women clean out your cat’s litter box with their bare hands.
All cats love catnip
Cats love catnip and most felines get hyperactive in response to this plant.
However, not all cats respond to catnip. Researchers have found that one in three cats are not affected to catnip.

Why’d u put a fox emoji lol
I've had a Cat Rescue for about 17 years. Cats are Very Affectionate and Intelligent. 100% of the Cats we trained to come, give a paw, give the other paw, and Sit Up have learned without fail.
I can confirm. All my cats givem me both paws, sat and spoke... first one had even a fuel gauge - higher the paw lower fuel level was!!!
#2: My buddy is 16 yo and we have a snuggle session every morning before we get out of bed. Been doing it for years. Started when I come home the hospital doubled over in pain from a gallbladder attack. He instantly knew and jumped into bed with me and pressed right up against my abdomen and started to purr, the vibrations calmed me down and made my abdomen feel better. He is the most loving and affectionate cat I have ever had. He loves it when I wrap my arms around him while we sleep and always presses his head against mine and purrs. Best part of my day. I'm dreading the day he's gone. 🐱❤
Make as many memories as you can because that cat sounds so loving. I hope you will get better from the gallbladder attack.
I read about a cat that lived in a nursing home. Several times a day she would make her rounds room to room and person to person. If she got into bed or on their lap it usually meant that person was going to pass away within 4 hours. Never failed.
She has since passed away herself. Now her daughter now does the same thing.
I agree with what you wrote. I have two cats that are about twelve years old, each. Frisky is the male, and Noodles is the female. I adopted her when she was six months old. And she already had the name, Noodles, which is kind of unusual for a cats name. lol. And I was not going to change it. They are affectioate, in their own unique ways. They are both great cats, and I dread the day that one of them passes away. Luckily, they are both in good health, and can have many, happy content years left. The oldest feline was thirty eight years old. It's name was Creampuff. He lived from 1967--2005. I hope that both my kitties make it to their mid twenties, at least...
Years ago I came home from a 6 day hospital stay and two elbow surgeries for an infection. My cat was very excited to see me and jumped in my lap and was rambunctious and active but immediately started sniffing my elbow. After about 30 seconds he gently laid down in my lap and started purring softly. He knew I was injured.
@@ronsbrat525 what a sweet story. Love the cat legacy 🥰
One of my cats never really cuddled with me much. He would hang out near me and sleep in my bed at night, but not cuddle. Then my daughter ended up in the hospital for a whole month because of complications from a surgery. I came home every few days, and stayed overnight at home maybe 3 or 4 times, but I didn’t like to leave my daughter for long. There were still two people at home, so it’s not like he was without humans during that time, but ever since I got back home, he’s soooo cuddly with me. And he can’t handle it if I shut myself in the bathroom. I have to let him in when I take long baths. If he can’t find me, he cries for me. I feel like I damaged him in some way being gone so much but I do enjoy the cuddles. Cats are definitely loving creatures.
its not damage really, he's just concerned that an important person to him was away for a reason he didn't understand. cats love consistency and routine.
Yes I have noticed that online for us to cats. They know if I’m having major headache having major chest pains and we cannot get out of bed or is a problem but I do get Out of bed for feeding and cleaning the litter box but when I had pneumonia I think I didn’t clean the litter box for three days of course I fed him but he didn’t like a dirty litter box so he just as I do use the sink!
"Cats can thrive on a vegan diet"
Never heard that one, and I'm stunned that people actually believe that...
Don't worry too much. It is very difficult to find a vegan who feeds their cat a vegan diet.
Vegans who force their cat on a vegan diet are dangerous religious/ideological fanatics.
@tforceraven Vegan Gains does that, he’s raising his cat vegan.
@@nancyclark864 "Your cat is suffering from malnutrition" "How is that possible hes on a vegan diet"
@@tforceraven That's true. I know vegans who actually do feed their carnivore pets meat.
I love how constructively he explains silly myths like about black cats and 9 lives for people that actually might believe it
You would wonder on how many people actually believe that and on how many cats die or get killed because of those.
Not all cats like cat nip and who on their right mind would empty a litter tray with their bare hands...pregnant or not..uck!
@@Adrien_broner they most certainly do.the stuff some people believe is insane.
What
*cats* don't get enough love. they are just as good of companions as *dogs*
Yes they are I live alone and have 2 cats🙏🏻 ❤️
@@robertocruztv6097 i like you two💗💗 people need to understand that all ALL animals need love i love cats i don't hate dog tho...
Yes a lady told
Guys you dont even know the love I have for cats. They are cute creatures. I love when they meow.
@mickie Thompson I love cat's too. I find them very affectionate.
Same I have 5 of them
@@IAmRockious lucky I used to have 2 but the other one died and he was my favorite :(
I feel you
My cat just made my day better bcuz she rub against my legs while purring
The training one is so true!
We’ve all taught our cats to not sit on the table, and if they want to sit on the couch, they know their designated spot has a couch covering on it.
Now whenever they see a white sheet or blanket on the couch, they sit there lol
How did you teach them?
@@andre3k658 Tons of repetition and removing them from the area.
Whenever they site somewhere we didn’t want them on, we’d pick them up and place them elsewhere, while telling them no.
Also if they did good, giving them treats helps them know what we want them to do is the good action.
Eventually if you do this enough, they’ll learn.
@@lexdraws1729 thanks
My first cat knew how to sit pretty, say please, always came when called, i often let him pick what flavor treats he wanted and he was learning to turn around in a circle when tragedy hit and i lost him at the age of 4.
A great way to get people to think about cats being trained, how do you think cats in movies have been done for decades? CGI is to new for it to have been used a decade or more ago. Those are all trained cat actors!
My twin died suddenly in September 2021. I inherited his cat. Not something I was looking forward too. It took a couple of months for us to warm up to one another. Months later, we love each other and we have bonded. She is the sweetest cat ever! I've learned so much about cats and I continue to learn. That's what brought me to this video. As I write this comment she is sleeping at the foot of my bed.😋
He will climb into your heart one step at a time and then teach you all about cats. Sorry to hear about your twin. I lost mine a few years ago too.
@@robertd9850 I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for the kind words.
I get sad when people are like "Cats hate you, they don't care!" Or "All cats care about is themselves." Because that isn't true, cats do care, like how everyone has a different personality and different ways of showing love, cats do too
Cats aren't even as self aware as humans. They are self aware but they cannot distinguish good and bad like us. Selfish people are usually self aware of what they're doing and they still don't care. That's why I never got this myth
I had a dog. After she had passed away I adopted a cat. So, I can compare and assure you that my cat requires even more care than my dog!
I can relate to that. I've had a wide variety of different animals. The hardest one was my pet skunk. But with determination and lots of love he became my favorite. What I'd give to bring him back from heaven. He was my Emotional Support Animal.
Dogs have owners, cats have staff!
I'm sorry for your loss
@@robertd9850 true! Lol jk
Robert9850 Dogs have owners and so do cats you know absolutely nothing about cats my dog is more aggressive than my cat my cat was a total sweetheart he loved to be cradled like a baby and he'd let literally anyone do it to him he would let us carry him around our neck like a scarf and wouldn't care he'd never attack kids, babies, dogs nor strangers he would only attack new cats and kittens until he got to know them but other than that he was pretty much very docile and he loved belly rubs and whenever we scratched his chin he would purr and drool and smile the biggest happiest cat smile we'd ever see he was a very special boy and still is.
Save the paws don't declaw. I have had cats my whole life all with claws aside from 2 who were declawed before I adopted them. The declawed kitties had issues with litter pans and more health issues.
I always say "don't declaw clip instead." It is cruel to declaw. Puts them at risk for everything.
Declawing is illegal in several countries and rightly so. As it says in the video it is like amputating a human's fingers at the first knuckle. How would you like it if that was done to you?
even if I do not believe in full animal rights, you should NEVER declaw your cat. if the paws don't got claws, they won't be able to climb or scratch to fend off predators, and they don't got claws for hunting, they are screwed. even if they shouldn't go out are only inside cats, there is a chance they might escape
It’s illegal now to declaw a cat where I live.
I can verify a few of these.
-- My first cat was black and was a wonderful pet. He taught me what you do with a cat.
-- I dropped my cat about a month ago the wrong way and he landed on his side, not his feet. He was ok but it scared him and he ran -- upstairs. Much more careful now.
-- Cats are very affectionate. I've never had one that didn't voluntarily come to see me and want to snuggle.
-- Cats are trainable. I walk mine on a leash every day.
Black cats are really cute, i have a special bond with black or black and white cats.
Good
My cat literally has anxiety, hes a big black cat that is super paranoid, maybe something happened to him when he was a baby, but hes super clingy and anxious lol
Have you tried a Thunder Jacket?
he might have seperation anxiety
He probably should've mentioned WHY people think they have 9 lives. The myth is centuries old is comes from the fact that cats are agile enough to get out of situations that would be deadly to other less agile animals. Because of this, people back then started to believe that cats had multiple lives. I don't know where the 9 comes from though,
Regarding the whole "cats are low-maintenance", I get the feeling this comes from the people who claim this finding the particular things you need to do to take care of a cat to be easier individually. Overall caring for a cat can be very involved, but I can see how cleaning a litterbox can be considered easier than taking a dog for a walk and picking up after them.
Definitely this. I can be around a cat for a lot of the day, and litter box clearing is a five minute operation every few days. Going for walks twice a day is not something I know I could commit to.
Some animals just require different levels of effort to care for. My sister kept ferrets, and cleaning their cages and outside run could take up to an hour, while being in close proximity to a lot of very disgusting waste.
Sometimes i wonder how humans can be simple enough to believe in silly superstitions such as so called bad luck black cats. I mean really?
@@leannechebbo2788
Did you mean to reply to Igor Budzinski further down in the comments? I didn't mention anything about black cats, but he did.
My cat is picky He wants me to love him when he wants to love me not when I want to but he really is sweet cause he always comes up to me and kisses me
Lol. My cat is the same way. We have to keep her in the bathroom cause of my daughter dog. They don't get along. Whenever I go if I take my phone she jumps on my lap and knocks the phone from my hand then gives me lots of kisses a cheek rubs. If I don't take my phone she ignores me.
My last cat would give me kisses if I ask. If I told her to she just stared at me but if I said "Ginger, may I have a kiss please" she would do it almost every time.
I love cats! ❤️
I can definitely agree with all of these.... Especially the one about the black cats, i find that superstition especially stupid and extremely cruel
Totally agree
I have to totally agree. My mom had a black cat that had a litter of 5 black kittens. Kept one and the mom. I took one and she re-home the other 4. That was in the early 90s.
my dad had a black cat and she was the sweetest thing ever just like the cat we have now except our cat is a grey domestic shorthair
People are dumb
Agreed, my mom wouldn't let me keep a black kitten simply because of his colour. I don't know what happened to him because he disappeared the next morning.
I have a therapy kitty i adopted at 8 weeks old who just turned 16 years old last month who makes it very clear to other cats and humans alike that i am HER human. She often falls asleep in bed while helping me go to sleep and when i wake up if she isnt on top of me she comes running in for wake up cuddles. She is my baby and theres never been a doubt how much we love each other.
My cat is very affectionate with me..
Same. Don’t get where the mean cat stereotypes come from, everyone who has had a cat scratch them, must have been mean or bothering the cat.
I trained my cat to sit, stand, and jump up and grab my arm. Everyone is always shocked when he does it because they didn't know you could train cats.
Our neighbor fed their cat milk everyday for years. He lived about 7 years and his last year was spent in agony. They had no idea why he was going down hill. So sad.
Purring me might be a self soothing technique for a cat, but I also find it soothing and relaxing. I especially did as a child. We got our first cat when I was 1. She used to nap with me in my crib (my mom thinks partly to get away from my sister). As my sister and I got older she still slept with one of us at night . If we woke up for any reason she almost always would climb into that person’s bed. I remember waking bad dreams and her getting in bed and calming me. Often times when she slept with me she would be purring. She’d also purr something when we were hurt and upset as she tried to comfort us. So I associated purring, particularly hers with sleep, a calming and relaxed environment and safety. And all these years later I subconsciously relax when a cut purrs
As for the "cats are low maintenance" myth.
My wife and I have a cat who is just over 6 months, she got fixed a month ago, and we got an instantpot. But the cat has been terrified of the steam that comes from it. Turns out, the stress she got from those things coulve led to an upper respiratory infection or worse (if they had a heart murmor). Also, cats need excessive playtime at a young age, or else they play with your feet and bite as they would with other cats (we got our cat at 5 weeks and she was already weaned, her siblings were adopted before her so she was the last one, mom disappeared for at least a week).
Another fun fact, our cat loves the shower, tub, sink.
Sleeps in bed with us, and is extremely social (as long as large groups coming in are quiet and come toward her slowly).
You are disgusting. You fixed your cats? Can’t relate 🙄
I didn't believe the purring thing until I took in a stray that had been living in my garage after months of feeding it & trying to coax it to come into the house as it the weather wasn't great at the tim. it finally came inside, it was purring while it laid across me, suddenly it stopped, started seizing & foaming at the mouth, then started purring again, moments later it passed away in my lap
That's sad... 😢
:(
Wow, that cat maybe knew that he was dying. And wanted to do so, around someone. That Is kind of a crappy scenario. But, at least the kitty did not die alone.
Actually cats are solitary hunters but DO live in family groups. They will make sure each others' kittens are fed first before the adults. And will adopt abandoned kittens, or if a new mother is not doing well. Most cats in Australia don't like catnip. Because they are descendants of a small group of cats that don't have the gene.
"All cats love catnip"
A real myth. My cat doesn't give a sh*t about catnip. Instead she loves toothpaste and hair conditioner :/
My cat ignores catnip. She gets hyper on mint however. Probably because it smells like catnip...?
@@nyancat.123 id imagine thats not why as catnip also smells like catnip
They say cats aren't that social, but everyday my family's cat, Puma, meows loudly at the bottom of the stairs even if she has food, water, and a clean litter box, when that happens we just assume she wants some attention.
She also is just fine with dogs. Sure she doesn't LIKE them but she certainly doesn't HATE them or is afraid of them, if anything our dogs are afraid of her.
Our dog, Tank, that is a mix of a whole bunch of dog breeds such as a tiny bit of Mastiff, Boxador (Boxer and Labrador), and maybe a tiny bit of pit bull (but most likely mainly Boxador, we aren't sure since we got all of our dogs from shelters or humane societies) is absolutely afraid of our cat and he can't stop whinning when in the same room as her (then again he is just a big, sweet baby that loves attention!)
Our dog, Rusty, who is likely a mix of a bunch of different shepard-like dogs but mainly Australian Shepard is totally cool with our cat, there is little to no contention between those two, but they definitely aren't like best friends.
As for our big white dog, Luna, who, we think, is a purebred Akbash (Akbashs are kinda like Great Pyreneeses excet with shorter hair, longer legs, and a slightly leaner body), well, she just gets really excited and curious around cats. She doesn't hurt them or chase them, but she wags her tail and perks her ears up in interest. Puma isn't the biggest fan of it.
Anyway, all of our dogs except Luna have all lied on the same bed or couch with our cat, so I know dogs and cats aren't sworn enemies. Same thing went for our last dog, before he, well... Passed away
I knew number 8 was wrong for years I trained my cat to meow at me when she’s hungry when I was eight
1: cats can drink milk BUT only lactose free milk.
2: you can clip their claws but only the very tips. That’s because their fingers actually grow in their claws.
Well yes you have to cut your cats nails regularly so the quick does not grow out too much. Otherwise when you cut your cats nails it will cut the quick just like any other animal. And you need to cut your inside cats nails frequently and you also when you’re petting them Or rushing them it’s important to just Where are you gently put their paws and play with their fingers Without any intention of Cutting their nails because if they get used to you massaging them it makes cutting their nails a lot easier and okay on the black cat thing it’s free upsetting
6:32 what is the guy in the back doing 😂😂
You can actually get cat milk replacer that is safe for cats. Any pet store will have it. But yeah cow's milk, no. Don't ever give that to a cat, especially young kittens. If you have a problem with cats scratching things, get better scratchers for them to use. And just keep their claws trimmed.
Until we got a scratching post my cat would try to scratch the bathroom cabinets and shower curtain (we have to keep her in there cause her and my daughter dog don't get along). Got her a post and now the cabinets and curtains are safe. I had to just order baby safety locks cause she opens the cabinet doors and sleeps in there.

Warrior cats leaders: am I a joke to you!?
7:11 I hate that this is believed by a lot of people, I own a black cat and I haven't got any back luck in the 9 years if own him. So, to anyone out there who believes this myth is true, do some research and grow up.
The claw one is making me question a whole lotta stuff now- I used to have a cat and when he was a kitten he had to get his claws removed because he was born with a 6th toe and the vets said if his claws weren’t removed it could’ve caused a terrible infection of some sort. But now I’m wondering if he would’ve been better off with his claws or if he would’ve even gotten the said infection
Also cats need more love bc everyone talks about dogs being man's best friend and a hero but cats can be very helpful when it comes to emotional support, cats can instantly tell when their owner is hurt it upset and will immediately start to lick and fuss you to make you feel better and although cats may not be as strong as dogs they are very good at alerting you if you or a family member is in danger
and cats are very good with directions :)
Cats have probably suffered a lot more than dogs bc not many ppl like cats and their are way more stray cats on the streets than dogs
5:53 wont this make the cat jump on the couch and then get off of it to get more treats? lol
thank you for clearing these myths. I was about to check if the cats were gonna land on their feet when i throw them from my 3rd storey.
For example, my cat and my dogs do get along well
That's good. My cat and my daughters dog don't. So she has to stay in the bathroom cause the dog was here first and she's 14 years old. Health issues too so she has the walk of the house. Callie doesn't mind though cause we see each and give each other lots of love and attention when I have to go potty. Which is alot. I drink alot and have bladder issues.
My Beagle girl loves cats. She even want to greet almost all stray cats (which of course i'm not allowed because stray cats are unvaccinated) and befriend with 2 my neighbor's cats. Its so funny to see how they greet each other everytimes they meet, the cat will meowing and walking to my dog while my dog whinning excitedly with her wagging tail. The cat will rubbed her face towards my dog's snout and my dog will sniffing her - then they will laying down together. Its just so cute 😅
The myth of black cats are actually in some parts of Asia, not associated with witchcraft but if a black cat crosses the road as the same time as you, it might bring bad luck unless the cat knows you. This myth was actually really helpful because people have started adopting black cats so that they don't have bad luck
I am such a cat person and i cant handle to see a kitten or a kitten(s) with its mother, i just cant, i love them ❤❤

@Ice Dragon so glad you found her. My “Runt Runt” was let out and I just knew she would not survive. But 8 days later she jumped in my sons arms and he brought her back in. And no, not prego. I went out at all hours of the night and hollered for her. Stressed was not the word for it. Lol. When you love your fur babies, you love your fur babies and they love you.
@Ice Dragon she is just fine. Coat shiny, eating, but was sure glad to get home. Been about a month now and she is just fine. Thank you for asking.
Cats are definitely affectionate. Mine is extremely affectionate.
I knew about lactose intolerance before I got my cat (I did a lot of research beforehand) so one of the first things I bought was lactose-free milk. I was more surprised by the fact my cat doesn't like milk. It worked out in the longest of runs, I have thrown away a lot of spoiled milk, and lactose-free milk lasts so much longer.
" Give your cats some treats so they don't go hunting in the middle of the night "
My cat hunts down cockroaches and eats them so that there are no cockroaches in the house
The cat “ can I have something else?”
Some others
-"Cats greet each other by bumping noses." This myth amazes me. It's obvious they are smelling each other. Cats smell everything they "investigate".
-"Cats have great vision." They actually do not see colors as good as humans and also everything more than five feet away looks blurry to cat.
#15 - One of my Torties is within arms reach of me right now happily snoozing in a bed that I made for my kitties. My other Tortie will often wrap her tail around your arm if you skritch her butt in that one perfect spot. She is also my cuddlebug and will curl up on my lap every time I sit to watch TV.

I have three female cats who are all affectionate. I'm just their Human Slave though 😂😻
Just do what your told and nobody gets hurt!
That first one about cats falling is more serious then the video says it is. I've seen instances of a cat jumping down from a height just under 6 feet (~2m) and breaking a foot. People should keep that in mind when allowing their cats to climb in high places or using those kitty lounge things at greater heights in the home. Personally I would keep the cats from jumping down from anywhere from over 4 feet to be safe.
Also the one about cat's being slightly harder to train than dogs is a bit different in my experience. I've actually found cats to be easier to train than dogs. With a 16 year old cat literally taking only 2-3 days to learn a trick through positive reinforcement. Where an adolescent dog takes a week or two at the earliest. The other difference is I noticed my cat was very interested in learning more complex tricks. For example I taught my cat to shake hands for a treat in about 2 evenings. By a month later they could know the difference between left and right, or even using both paws in one of my hands to stand up on their hind legs. Not bad for a geriatric cat. I was finding my cat was only limited by the physicality of her age and not the mental complexity of the challenges. She actually enjoyed the challenges and would do them more for the experience of being with me than the treats themselves. Cats love the stimulation and bonding. So definitely consider training your cat to do simple tricks and then branch off if they seem interested in more.
the only essential training a cat needs is that the stove top is off limits.
I have a few questions, what does it mean when a cat sits with its backside facing me?
Why does a cat like to circle and rub against me?
Both are signs of affection in cats, although the circle and rub can be just a call for something. Mine does it when he senses it is time for his nighttime bedtime treat after the last play session for the evening.
Dog like what am i supposed to do with dis I laughed so hard
9:30 when my mother was pregnant with me, she visited my uncle and aunt a lot.They had a cat, and he loved my mother very much, he always kept her company. I never had any problems and neither did my mother.(i never had any problems with it)
My cat can sit, shake paws, high paw, stand, come, stay, spin, rollover, and meow.
Wow!!
My neighbour's cat loves cheese. He has some every now and again. But he doesn't seem to have any stomach discomfort.
My cat isn't affected by catnip. Thank God, cause she's hyper enough without it. 😂
I’ve heard that, for many people with ADHD, caffeine functions the exact opposite way it does normally, making them sedate. Maybe your cat has some sort of feline ADHD.
I actually have two black cats ,one is named Salem and the other lucifer . one time salem almost ran away, he got through the front door and we found him purring on a windowstill from the first floor .what a silly cat🐱
My friend gave me her cat because she was going to another country so when she came back She would spray the cat nip and her cat would just scram😂
my cat is cold and aloof,he never liked me for a year.Be careful when buying a cat
Try slow blinking your eyes at him. Partially close them so they're slits also when you're looking at him.
This is what cats do with each other to let the other they mean no harm and they won't hurt them. Sorta like you're sleepy and having a hard time keeping your eyes open. But no yawn. And if it's safe slowly offer your hand (clean) palm up toward his nose. If he sniffs it... Good sign. Same with the blinking. If he blinks back the same way it's good sign.
For my cat and I it's a form of distant love. Like blowing a kiss. We do this whenever we're not near each other. Even a few feet. Sometimes after playing she's still wide eyed. So I do the slow blink to help her calm down. I keep it up making sure she's looking at me until she finally does it back. Then I say thank you. And she usually gives me another blink.
It will probably take a few sessions but I'm hopeful it'll help you.
I've done this with other animals as well. Including wild animals. Most of the time it works. Not every though.
Good luck 🤞
My friend's maine coon is a mutant then. He has NO problem actually taking a bath. Or shower. He's been known to jump in with my friend. Literally. I kid you not. She can't leave the bathroom door open.
I have a black cat myself, and he's super friendly
I had two cats and they both doesnt been affected by catnip.
My cat can always tell when it is getting time for her treats.
I would NEVER declaw my cat! No matter how many times she scratches me or she gets them dirty! I feel terrible for the cats who lost them.
My cat is like a crack head for diary. We have to guard our diary products on table or he will always go for a nib
I think I give my cat jelly too much love😅
Black cats are awesome.
I have a black kitten and I haven’t gotten bad luck at all! So black cats are most definitely safe. 😄
Cats likely don’t like being all wet because the water gets in their fur and is harder to get out but if they don’t have fur that’s not a problem.
Omg ty for telling everyone that declawing is bad! It’s like cutting the tips of their fingers off!
nice video
When you said cats love you when they sit next to you my cat sat next to me
Ive had my black cat for 15 years and she hasn't bought me any bad luck... My male tabby on the other hand has accidentally scratched my eye *twice* which almost resulted in me being blind in that particular eye, if I hadn't gone to the ER when I did both times, it would've ended badly. He's part Siamese so he can't retract his claws 🥲 At the end of the day I love all 3 of my cats, 2 are the biggest sweethearts and the 3rd is an asshole, but her ears feel nice so I forgive her
1:36 no thats only when you got food :D:D
When my cat got a hold of the milk and sounded like a grown man puking behind the couch it was obscene
I'm taking notes on this 😊
And cats don't need as much care as dogs do (in terms of cats cost less money bc they can walk and some pee themselves [cats that are outdoor cats]) but they do need mental and emotional care, of you got your cat from a shelter then you have no idea what the cats been through so they do need care but they are slightly cheaper to maintain
There has been a cat with nine lives at least with multiple but I bet this problem the only cat in the world 🌎
I have never ever given my animals treats or clickers to train them. Stern short commands several when you want them to do whatever it is.
To me treats reinforces the bad behavior. "If I do the bad deed I get a treat". Usually astern no is all it takes. Sometimes takes several times but eventually they get it.
I've had all sorts of different kinds of animals, cats, dogs, birds, mice, turtle, pig, ducks, and a pet skunk (my biggest baby and favorite).
Right now my daughter has a dog and bearded dragon and I have cat and 2 Betta fish. Seeings as my daughter works many hours I am their main caregiver. And yes. Use the same commands with the dragon too. But a little more giving to her as she doesn't do as much bad things 😂
All the animals are and have been sweethearts.
I've known my whole life that myth number 4 was false as I had this cat and my grandparents had a beagle dog and the 2 were inseparable besties
Edit: the cats can't be near pregnant woman is also false as my mom had 2 cats (one after the other) during her pregnancy with me and I even grew up with one of them for a few years
My cat fell off my stairs but she landed on her feet
somebody killed my black cat with a car :(
My cat ate my whole butter when i was not looking and we had to throw the butter 🧈 she loves butter but i want to know what food is safe for cats 🐈⬛ 🐈 🐱
I just love kitties there so cute and I love them so much my picture is a kitty
Of my 8 cats, 3 are black. I've found them to be highly intelligent and super loving.
0:28 my cat once slid off the 2nd floor of a building, 5 years later she died of kidney failure. I dont know if they are connected
My cat will meow until someone will sit with him
