    For all the people wondering why their cats bring home dead or even sometimes half dead animals, the answer is that they are trying to teach you to hunt. In the wild mother cats train their cubs using a couple of steps
    1. Bring home dead animals to eat
    2. Bring home half dead animals for the cubs to get used to killing
    3. Bring them along to observe a hunt
    4. Have them help her in a hunt
    5. Eventually she'll leave them hungry so that they are made to go hunt themselves
    The first and second steps are what your cat is trying to do and since we don't get farther than that it's not usually apparent what the cat is trying to do.
    So there you have it, next time your cat does that think of it like your cat considers you like its offspring and wants to care for you.

    it's actually possible to train cats. Most people don't actually train their dogs so nevermind them trying with their cats. Most cats can respond to their names, learn to use a litter box and know how to open doors (even if they didn't figure out how to do it themselves). However, people rarely bother to try to train them even if the technique to train them is the same than with dogs. They are also harder to convince to do the tricks because they really want the reward to be worth the effort, unlike dogs who would do it even if no reward is in sight. So like.. if you use a treat or toy they like they might do the trick for you. Oh and according to a recent study, cats respond better to social rewards like being petted so that can be used as a reward as well.

    • @Exachad
      @Exachad 7 лет назад +54

      The wild cat my sister found and picked up learn to always use the litter box and open doors and the funny thing is, if the door is closed, he even tries to spin the doorknob because I think he saw us do it and once, I even saw him succeed. I was awestruck! Yes, my cat does respond to his name being called but, I'm unsure, if that's because we call his name or because cat's ears are sensitive and/or they're curious to know where that weird sound (his name) is coming from. He also, runs towards us, if we call him and chases my dad when he comes home, so yes, cats can be trained.

    • @screaming8435
      @screaming8435 7 лет назад +19

      My cat doesn't respond to her name, but she responds to "Come here Kitty" If you tap the ground next to you.

    • @tenedria
      @tenedria 7 лет назад +23

      maybe the name is too long... but if it's not the case. If you call your cat, make sure you give her attention as a reward for her showing up or looking at you (even if it's a coincidence), like petting or feeding her works. Eventually, she'll respond to her name. Not much different than a baby haha.

    • @screaming8435
      @screaming8435 7 лет назад +8

      tenedria;
      Her name is two syllables, and she only shows up for me, because I am the only one who feeds/pets her when she comes. She comes to me when I call her name, I meant she doesn't respond when anyone else calls her name.
      I think I will just get my friends and family to do what I did, which was scratch her chin whenever she comes over.

    @shboi8103 6 лет назад +282

    Cats can detect your heartbeat across the wall when you're in your bedroom. If they hear your heart beating slow, they know you're asleep and they won't disturb you. But once they hear it speeding up, they know you're in the stage of waking up. The more domesticated a cat is, the better they will be at this.

    • @shboi8103
      @shboi8103 6 лет назад +50

      This is why some cats wake their owners up at 3 a.m (light sleeping stage) v.s more domestic cats will do this at 6-7 a.m (typical waking up time)

    • @Megadriver
      @Megadriver 6 лет назад +27

      Exactly... 1000 square kilometers is already good enough. Why do americans compare everything big to football fields. Seriously, you guys need more accurate measurements... Nobody has time to say I need a 3/8 of an inch wrench... You say I need a 10 mill. Same with feet... My foot is different from your foot, or from your cousin's foot, or from Shania Twain's foot! Feet are things humans have that allow them to move. Meters, kilometers, nautical miles... that's stuff you measure distance with.

      Megadriver Metric overlords who can't understand imperial bewilder me, sure metric is easier to switch inside of the metric system since its basically just 10s but the difference between the two is the same as a difference between languages. It's easy to understand either of them so why bother trying to be an elitist about it? Which is better, English or Chinese? Which is better, Thai or Russian? The answer is that it doesn't matter even a little so why bother looking down on a whole group of people for so.ething that comes more easily to them than you? Both Imperial and Metric shills need to get over themselves.

      I’ve owned both a cat and a dog, neither of them were really mine but cats and dogs have lived with me for certain periods of time and I know what goes into taking care of both and I just happen to prefer cats. I love dogs too they’re adorable and sweet but I’m a cat person and I don’t see anything wrong with that. everyone who has ever gotten into an argument over cats vs dogs needs to have an internet time-out

    This video is incorrect. Cats technically domesticated us about 10k years ago. It's a common misconception to think cats were used to catch the mice which is how they became domesticated. In fact, dogs were actually used for that purpose first. Cats then started to come along. The closest ancestor to today's domesticated cat is the felis silvestris, who technically domesticated themselves. As humans began making settlements they produced a lot of garbage with little place to discard. These cats actually fed off the garbage. Their ability to hunt mice was a positive byproduct of our curious pals. These cats domesticated themselves around the Fertile Crescent, Egypt, Syria (Cyprus), Iraq (Mesopotamia), Israel. From there, with all the economic trading going on at these major ports, cats made their way around Europe and Asia. Cats started as more of the tabby type and with genetic mutation, we now have as many as 73 breeds. Oddly enough, Vikings from Northern Europe loved the Orange Tabby, and it's thought to believe the Vikings played a major role in the dissemination of cats around the world, in addition to trade with the major powers at that time.

      True, My terrier is far superior to my cat in hunting mice & rats at my summer house. My cat (Who been able to catch squirrel when they reached out balcony was unable to eliminate the underground mice hideout in our old-arse garage at the summer house. Anyways, literally the minute she left the car door, she ran on instinct to the place in question and just killed like 12 of them within minutes of each other. And since then we haven't had any mice what so ever, apart from occational rat or mouse that runs across the fields to another place.
      She was almost on her way to hunt moose as well. So that's pretty dope.
      My cat had killed 2 mice over 6 years living there. My Dog only needed 1 min to find the infestation and start killing all of them.

    "I'll kill you last." Sums up cats' feelings towards the human race.

    My cat is so hell-bent on being in the bathroom with me that he figured out he could slam into the door to open it.

    That grumpy cat was exploited with serious health problems that absolutely affected her quality of life. Not a knock against you, I love this video. It's just that Tardar Sauce spent her last few years in and out of vet clinics because her owner wanted to keep capitalizing off of her misery.

    • @jasonkramer8536
      @jasonkramer8536 3 месяца назад

      And of course, all of these pet videos are exploitative, but this person specifically prolonged the suffering of her cat to profit off of.
