it's true. I went to a cat cafe in my area and also ignored them. One went straight into my lap and didn't leave for an hour an a half. My leg fell asleep and it was so painful walking after that, but of course I couldn't' just get up!
Oh that happened to me too!!! Well, minus the leg falling asleep. It was the one cat with some kind of eye problem though, which was pretty nast, but still cool!!
Fr Fr my cat is so jealous if I hold like a other cat and I went there and I had to ignore the cats because my cat is cute and I don’t want my cat to be jealous lol 😅 and it was so hard to ignore them because some of the cats went up to me
I got 4 cats. Once one lays on you. your stuck and unable to move even a little bit. The only good reason to disturb kitty is your about to pee or shit your pants. Then your allowed to get up.
It's actually not that cats like you more if you ignore them, it's that they feel less intimidated/threatened. If you are already familiar with a cat, there's no point. You can accomplish similar simply by not looking directly at the cat, and leaving them alone until they approach you.
Although, If I've paid too much attention to one of my cats for a while, they seem to appreciate it when I give them space/ignore them. Which often makes them sit closer to me than they did before. They really teach me about boundaries and balance.
It depends on what cat it is if it’s a shy cat it will definitely like you if your ignoring it or just not playing much attention however if it’s an active cat it likes you paying attention to it
Most cats will mark everything in their house because it’s their territory/domain. If a cat purposely avoids an entire couch, I’d be concerned there was something wrong with it (the couch) imperceptible to my human senses.
Cats are smart. My neighbors cat used to come over and I told her no, she’s not allowed on the couch where me and bunny snuggle and she never climbs on. She’s super smart it was like having a roommate 😆 I miss her tho
I was thinking the same thing, they do put a lot of bromide into new furniture, for the use as a flame retardant. Insects will avoid anything with drier sheets, which has the same chemical. I wouldn't be surprised if some mammals could detect it as well.
The "righting reflex" was working. You can see it happening in the photos. Problem is it takes a certain height for them to have the time to right themselves properly. Too short of a distance and they don't have the time to orient themselves to land properly if they start out too far from proper landing position at the start of their decent. So from high enough places cats always land on their feet. From a short jump like this it isn't always the case.
Kurt won't touch a toxic couch. Your couch is off gasing toxic fumes into your house. Animals can smell the toxicity, humans can't. Same thing happened with my Siamese. I read the label and immediately threw the new cat beds out. Please check out chemical free living.
Sweet Kurt, you are bundle of joy! Your antics with your dad ,Abram, are a lot of fun!😂😂You are so lucky having such a wonderful DAD and now a MOM!🐈🐈🐈♥♥

I agreed with what others said about cat’s sense is much better than human and might detect the dangerous toxic humans didn’t aware of. Besides, I’d like to add another viewpoint after years of living and observing cats, we often ignored how they were brought up especially cats being outdoor before - camouflage will make them feel safe due to nature instinct. As a result, white cats preferred white, black cats preferred black or dark spots, orange cats love brown/orange settings(like dry fallen leaves in the yard) etc. Hope this helps.
It just doesn't like the couch. There're toxins in their food as well, and some consume coffee/tea/choco/plants which are poison to them. They're not that clever.
Idk about that. My neighbor cat always jump my window straight to my bed, *A SINGLE WORKING ADULT MAN* bed, which basically as toxic as sewers. The moment i opened my window on the weekend she jumps and stays at my bed. It's been my weekend routine for almost 2 years. She jumped on the weekday too at first but i keep throwing her out, she doesn't even try anymore 😂
Don't know if you'll see this, but I learned about you from your old teacher Ms. Melanee Barton! She's my professor at my University and she talked about how she knew a famous influencer (you) and how you were determined to be one and you just signed some deal with a cat food company for 4 million. Pretty cool!
I like his style. Buys the fancy cat toys, cat doesn’t like for a bit, but he’s making the best use of the entertainment while it doesn’t for his own money 😂
I would fail... first, I have been a cat dad to five cats. Second, cats just come up to me. Finally, I just can't help but love them. If I am petting a cat, I am in my happy place.
8:00 but you still can actually pretty well see how he's turning, he went from being vertical head-up to almost normal cat position in a fraction of a second. but the thing is - if the fall is short enough that he can't land on his feet, it's probably short enough of a fall that it doesn't rly matter that he didn't
Loved your video. Shout Out to the Catio in Nashville Tn… Best place EVER to relax and play with all the Cats and Kittens, and maybe be inclined to adopt one and take it home!
I went to my first cat cafe this past month and as a cat person I know not to bother them and follow them round like a lot of other customers were doing. I just sat down got comfy and before I knew it I had two cats trying to settle on my lap. The first cat that claimed my lap had a good wash, fell asleep and stayed there my entire visit. When it came to leaving I had to slowly slide them off in to a cushion, luckily i didn't get the stink eye for doing that lol.
@Abram Engle, seriously, who could go to a kitty Café & ignore the kitties, that's self-torture, lol. Kurt still looking handsome as ever!🐈^_^ As for his running speed, keep in mind that a velocity of 30mph is equivalent to ~44 feet per second! Kurt being in the house he doesn't have as much room so to be moving at ~25-30 feet per second is impressive! My very old treadmill goes up to 10mph which is about half the speed Kurt ran and yet I used to run it up to 10mph, it's a lot faster than people think especially for those of us with shorter legs! Those with longer legs are able to traverse greater distances with each stride without requiring as much energy. Usain is 6'5", imagine what it'd be like for someone 12" shorter trying to running that same speed.
Please be careful that the yarn doesn't get chewed up and eaten as pieces could strangulate their colon. If you use lightweight pingpong balls in the machine I'm certain Kevin would love it. You raised a cutie 🐈🥰💕
Pool for Kurt- my cat likes his big water fountain, which is the same size or bigger than the little pool around 7min in. He plays with the water, drinks from it, and uses it in cleaning himself. It’s always fun to see him play with a thread or clear plastic spoon or whatnot that falls in. I bet Kurt would enjoy the running water, if you haven’t done that yet.
The thing that threatens cats is intense eye contact, which is a signal of invitation for confrontation in their understanding. By not looking into their eyes directly and throwing in some gentle blinks, the message becomes, "I come with no harm intended, let's be friends. "
Wtf? Is this considered news? Ignoring cats is 100% the best way to get them to be curious and interact with you. This is "dealing with cats 101" level. Anyway, good luck to every human & cat 😎
That’s because in cat body language, looking at somecat for more than a glance is a sign of hostility. Not looking at cats is less aggressive than looking at them.
Might be the texture of the couch on his paws. I noticed that with the other new piece of furniture that the was sitting on, it had a blanket so that he was not directly touching it. Also, when you put the harness on him, he did the classic “I hate being dressed in this thing” crouch and flop that cats do. I think he was too distracted by his discomfort to be interested in the outdoors.
About the couch, it's possible the prints on the pillows scared him off the first time he jumped off and he's been wary since. My cat got scared off by this green plushie my sis left on it and she refused to go up since. You might want to consider changing that pillow cover temporarily and continue playing with him on the couch.

To a cat being ignored is the same as "we're good fam I'm cool with you." throw in some slow blinks and you made a bestie.
yep lol, it's true. That and the occasional cheek rub and ass massage.

Unless you have a traditional Siamese that follows you everywhere, watches you cook dinner, and never shuts up.
@@mjg1544 Siamese are much too intelligent and curious for the usual cat behavior, I agree.

"I got straight to ignoring them" that sounds so wrong 😭
Also its less that cats like when you ignore them, its more that dont like being bothered
Sounds like a punishment for girls

@@ravaplayz5298 yes!! they all have different boundaries and personalities, and ppl tend to forget that fact. it's the same with any other animal.

Cats: “Challenge accepted.”
"roar Kurt!"

My black cat absolutely loves dark places, so I can confirm that.

KURT IS SUCH A SILLY LITTLE GUY 😭😭
Only OGs know this is re-posted
Most cats know almost immediately that a "mouse" or "insect" "made" with light is fake. They don't even have to "touch" it...
I love when he just WATCHES the tennis ball launcher launch balls lol.
They're ignoring the dawgs, they're ignoring the cats, they're ignoring the pets 🎶of the people that live there🎶

I liked Kurt. He does looked liked my 1st cat that was named Morris. Even looks liked my sister’s cat Gizmo,too.
cat: "This guy's chill"
They just feel that you are sre chilling and are one of their own
I do honestly think the righting reflex absolutely came into play but he didn't have enough height to have the time to get through the full twist.
Yo I’m a great fan! Your cat is way too cute and I love cats just as much as you do!
He can run way faster in a bigger space ! ❤❤❤
I have not seen any one do this test before! so cool!❤
It's not an easy test...
their fascination with yarn could be that it resembles a mouse or other rodent
Please be careful that the yarn doesn't get chewed up and eaten as pieces could strangulate their colon. If you use lightweight pingpong balls in the machine I'm certain Kevin would love it. You raised a cutie 🐈🥰💕

This was a good laugh! Thank you! 🤣🙏
your the best cat owner, but i cant say your cat is the best only because i have my own lol 😂
Ooo
Maybe the couch is off-gassing. Is it the same stuffing as the other new furniture?
That would be like ignoring the hundreds in a wind tunnel with money blowing around
The idea of this video is so cool I love it!
My cat hates me, it must be because I can't ignore him. He's my favorite flavor of cat, so radiant and gorgeous...
A cat who doesnt want to get on a couch is amazing since my couch died being loved by one
Usually, ignoring a cat shows them you aren't threatening, so they are more likely to approach you and check you out.
Cats hate being pestered and like simply relaxing it seems.
this is hilarious, the audacity
What an absolute sweetheart, just found your channel for the first time. Thumbs up.
Eye contact is the key....it is aggressive to stare apparently ....so lots of blinking and not a lot of eye contact
Dude his taking his cat outside on a leash 😂
The thing that threatens cats is intense eye contact, which is a signal of invitation for confrontation in their understanding. By not looking into their eyes directly and throwing in some gentle blinks, the message becomes, "I come with no harm intended, let's be friends. "
0:18 I mean, whenever I’m reading outside, this random ass cat just plops onto me and decides, “yeah, imma sit here.”
Many couches come from the factory with a pet deterrent on the fabric. So that's probably why Kurt won't go on it. It wears off after a few months.
Kurt looks a lot like my Pumpkin! I just had your video pop up on my dash & I subscribed!
Hey these videos are amazing and helping me learn more about cats cause I'm getting a baby girl kitten next week
Kurt is so cute!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

I did the same when I went to a cat cafe a few years back and it worked. 😂.
Kurt's pur is sooo cute
That’s because in cat body language, looking at somecat for more than a glance is a sign of hostility. Not looking at cats is less aggressive than looking at them.
I noticed that my cat prefers bigger scratcher because he is stretching himself at the same time he sharpens his little flesh carving blades .
You’re funny!!!❤❤❤😂😂😂
I got it set for my cats to have it as a movie on the wall..❤
You should have a cat parkour corse for Kurt and see how fast he can do it
Love seeing a cat owner leash their cat when they go outside! It's responsible!!
I think cats feel safer with quiet people. If you move or talk too much, they will not approach.
You need 2 more tests: the laser dot test and the cardboard box test on the couch.
What a cute kitten.
Kurt is adorable.
I wish I had a piece of furniture my cat didn't like. TO CLAW ON.
Lol now i want to go to a cat cafe to ignore cats 😹
The cat paying attention to you while you ignore them is not a reliable theory.
as someone who is allergic to cats (but still owns them) id cry when i have to ignore them cause i cant eat food and pet cats at the same time
I’m allergic to cats. I have 2.
Some days allergies off the charts.
