The one dislike is from a cat in time out.

@@Yeewen88 Awful lot of rebellious kittens.
The thing I appreciate most is that she asked if time-outs are ok before trying it. Plenty of people would probably just go for it and not look into any answers.
And she went to a very reliable source instead of the first Google result!
This is me as a new cat mom 🥺 I would of definitely done some things wrong if I didn't come across this channel ✨
I agree! 😊
I actually taught my food-obsessed cat not to steal his sister's food by giving him time-outs every time he tried to do it. He now waits patiently by his own bowl for her to finish eating before going over to her dish to finish off the crumbs, lol.
you didn't teach your cat with timeouts but by conditioning actually.
Good work!
I, too, have an EXTREMELY food-obsessed cat. The only way I can eat in peace is if I lock her in the bathroom when I eat.
That works only while you're looking. Sadly. It will take only a couple of times that you leave them unsupervised to start stealing it again.
My youngest does this to my oldest 🤭
Funny bcs youngest came to me underweight and still is smallest of the two but she's a beast at meal time 😺
What would we do without you Jackson 😃❤️
not having to deal with this kind of question, lol
@@Brigada91RealBriggy Hahah I actually mean in general about how to care for a cat, but you're also right.
Have *more* terribly behaved pet owners 😉
I so agree. Improved my life and our cats lives too.
My cat is an ex feral who decided to move in with us one particularly bad winter. He's not very interactive so I doubt time out would teach him anything. Sometimes if he's feeling particularly sleepy he will tolerate us stroking him under his chin but he spends most of his time outside doing cat stuff unless it's raining. He has his own room with access to outside.. He's never been aggressive or zoomy or destructive. He just peacefully hangs with us as and when he feels like it. I feel privileged to have been chosen.
Wow that's amazing. A beautiful cat, seems the cat is thankful for you saving him but also loves his space and knows how to respect your boundaries.
I think every child should grow up with a cat because they are life's best teachers on consent ❤️
I use kitty timeouts. It works really well when all 3 cats get a little cray cray I split them up into 3 rooms. It has gotten to the point where the 2 older cats realize 'kid sister is driving me crazy' and they go to their timeout 'spots'. When this happens it tells me, grab the kid sister and put her in an area to chill for a few minutes. It works beautifully especially when the elders look at me with the 'Please do something with her or we'll have to ask you to leave the room...'look. HAHA!
@hsbvt that is great! Thanks for sharing.
cats stop because they know you’re going to do what you always do. You do the time out. There’s not because you’re there, and they predict the consequence with you. My cats stop the negative behavior when I redirect with a stern, strong tone of voice. But when I’m not home, I’m sure they do it. So it’s not really solving it 100%.
Thank you for this question, because I felt bad at first for giving my cat a time out because I didn’t know how to handle the situation.
Now I know it isn’t that bad, and it doesn’t need to be long
The only time I would use a "time out" with a cat is when I'm really trying to work on something or whatever, and the cats are simultaneously in the mood to play or get into things they aren't supposed to. Then I lock myself in my room/office for a bit so I can concentrate. But it's really more like giving myself a time out, I guess.
I laughed so hard 😆😀 I make sure to bring some toys for my time outs
it really is like giving yourself a time out haha. My cat is usually just not allowed in my room during those work times so they have the rest of the house as their "time out".
I have to do the same thing bc i work from home and my cats will cry to get my attention, so if it gets to where I'm having work interrupted multiple times in a day ( and they are fed and I've played with them), i will close my door until they get the idea i am trying to work, and we will finish playing and take a walk when I'm off work.
They really are like toddlers huh? I've heard many of my mom friends having to have their dinners or "me time" in the bathroom because that is the only time they have to themselves. (like 10 mins max but it's something)
@@xTaintedRedx Fortunately in my experience cats aren't quite as taxing as toddlers. They do sleep for large portions of the day, and usually, I can get plenty of work done while my cat is napping elsewhere in the room (he likes to be near me when he sleeps). It's just those other occasions when our schedules 'clash' I guess haha.
I can attest that they actually do work...at least they do for my Maine Coon (he's now 9 months). He would attack me for no reason and bite hard. I started putting him in the laundry room and closing the door for about 5-10 mins. After about 5-6 times of that he has never bit me again. 😻😻
I do the same
This is SUPER HELPFUL. We've tried alternatives such as enrichment, play, stimulus, and rewards to soothe the situation and use "timeout" as a last option.
In our house, we refer to time-outs as ""***hole jail." Sometimes the oversized 4 year old kitten just needs a closed door between herself and the other cats. They're senior citizens, and don't enjoy being pounced or chased.
I used to give my kitten time out in her cage (never once she got bigger) and it did help her relax and bonus it made her see her cage as a safe place. Now when I get the cage out she is excited to get in it and I never have to fight her to get in to go to the vet.
We had a cat when I was growing up that would occasionally just go crazy and we would put her in the bathroom with the lights off until she calmed down (usually about 10 minutes). We jokingly called it putting her in the dungeon. Much better than the cat hurting herself or others when in a frenzy.
My kitten had really intense biting when we first adopted her and she’s naturally very energetic.
Getting her feeding schedule, robust play helped a lot. We would occasionally have to give her a “cool down” time in the room and it helped a lot!
Now she knows when she’s getting over stimulated and will even go look for a space to chill out away from us.
Love it😻
Good thing to know I'm dealing with the same issue I have a new kitten and im doing a LOT like probably too much play and it's the only way to distract him from being mischievous the other time he is sleeping on my lap and I cant move him with out waking him up and activating his play switch theres no quit time so it such a relief to know that cool down time is allowed
Cats can be trained with affection instead of treats. I had one that I managed to teach it to jump onto my arms on command, and she would happily do it for a little session of snuggles and petting.
Hippie granola and a subaru
I love cat parents that can teach tricks--a difficult task with cats due to their independence, some time defiance!
i dont know if jackson is wearing makeup or not, but his skin looks AMAZING??
He has to be
Take a look at his hands, they are a different colour, I'd say he definitely has makeup on.
Gotta keep that cue ball top notch! 😉
Yeah he looks smooooooth🤓 I’d buy that foundation🤓 IF its cruelty free🤓
@@TJ-kz1ul what do you mean? My hands are always a different color than my face 😅
So needed this! My 4 year old male picks on my 13 year old female and she is so much smaller than him. He even jumps on her when she is sleeping. It has had me in tears as she screams and is terrified of him and it hurts her. He is smart and does it when i am in the other room or doing dishes otherwise im constantly watching them. I have tried to distact him with a toy but his eyes are on her. Time outs i have tried and that makes him cry at the door and that makes me sad too. I play with her when he is sleeping and she loves it. He also gets play time to expend his energy so both get one on one attention with me. But now i know time out is okay and not cruel i will send him to the other room and let him cry it out as hard as it is. I feel better knowing others are having the same issue and thank you Jackson for a great video.
That age gap is not going to be easily resolved for a few years. Basically, you have a retiree forced to roomie with a teenager.
I realise it is too late now, but cats of closer life stages are better introduced (I would have gotten an 8-10yo, or older, rescue as the companion). Sex difference can play a part (not always, if the male is more chilled or calm). Just something to think about in the future.
Your 4yo male probably needs a heck of a lot more play time to drain his energy levels down.
This question was so thoughtful. Thank you for answering it so generously, Jackson.
Cat People Been Asking This Extremely Popular Question for Many Many Years...If i Asked if My Cat Should be Fed Would That be a "Thoughtful" Question?
Jackson, following you long time! I took in 3 rescue cats last year aged 7 to 17. Your videos really help me so many thanks for all your work. Proper cat daddy!! X
This is exactly the video I needed. I've got an eight month old and a fifteen year old and as you can imagine the older one wants nothing to do with him. Thankfully I do a lot of these things but there are days where he's still energetic so I'm glad to know I don't have to feel about putting him in the office sometimes
I have two cats. One is elderly (Jade), the other is two years old (Sada). Jade hates being pestered by Sada, and usually slaps the heck out of her when she gets too close. I try running out Sada's energy with play, but if she sees Jade when she's wound up, she'll always pounce. So to keep them from harming one another, I've been using her cat carrier as a time-out spot. It always calms her down. I think the tight, dark, soft space comforts her. Sada now really enjoys the carrier, and often sleeps in there voluntarily.
You made me LOL 😹
This is a tool I didn't know I even had! ❤
Edit: I implemented this with my kitten who has been jumping on my shelf that I would prefer she didn't and within less than 48 hours we had our first full day with no humping on the shelf!❤️
My dog do stupid things but my cats never do... they are angels ❤🥰❤
When my cat Sagacity about a year old, she would climb my curtains. (Of course, I was worried both for her and my curtains.) I would say loudly: "Sagacity go to your room!" Immediately, she would run to the spare bedroom. After about 5 minutes had passed, she would come back calm.
Jackson- your shirt is EVERYTHING. You rock it! Thanks for all of your great videos. 😻
Thank you Jackson for all your help. You're the coolest cat ever. And yes pun intended
I have two litter mates and one likes to pin the other one and torment him until he squeals - that's when I say "Oscar, leave your brother alone".
I close the door of my bedroom when my cat is being stupid and mewoing like crazy to go outside at 4 a.m.
I let her outside my room for 5-10 minutes.
Usually she understands it's time for bedtime in 5 minutes and when she stop meowing I open the door and she comes to sleep next to me on the bed
the cat isn't being stupid. She is being a cat. The way you speak about her is ugly.
@@NMN_CP hey, I know perfectly. I talk about her like this because I love her and I am her slave. I'm making fun of her the same way you make fun of your best friend. You can because you love them more than anything. So they know you are just being silly.
@@NMN_CP you're the only one being stupid here
Aww to cute.
their interaction is like me teasing my brother and him getting angry
For one of my family's cats, giving him a short time out is just what he needs. He chills out, might nap, he gets a nice reset.
For our other cat, it just makes him panic, so we've learned to just take away the stimuli that are winding him up (usually his brother). If that isn't enough, we find a way to redirect him. It's honestly the same methods we use for my younger brother. XD He and that cat are on the same wavelength.
I usually have to give my kitten timeouts because he likes to mess with the dog, I put him in a room by himself with one or two toys, and he’s way calmer when he comes out
and doesn't understand why he is in another room locked in the first place.
And it never gonna change, because you think, your cat reviews its misbehaviour during timeout, lol.
Try classical conditioning. This works. Timeouts don't
@@Brigada91RealBriggy jackson just said timeout is good for the cat to chill out a bit, which is what Layla is doing. Stop being condescending over what to do.
Love your videos!! Thank you!
I've been having similar issues with our 2 year old male towards his sisters. Thanks for clearing things up and giving us things to try and fix the situation
As always, amazing insight and information.
thank you, as usual. you nail it!
Great video Jackson! I feel like a lot of people needed to hear this!😻
I looooove your content! So much wisdom about cats behavior! Thank you Jackson!!
Once again, wonderful video here. Super helpful. All in line with everything else you've taught. Basically every piece of advice you've given has improved my boys lives significantly in too many way to list here. Thanks dude!
That's a great question and an even better answer!
Omg I learn something new every day with you thank you so so much.
Jackson can you do a video about a semi feral cat trying to introduce a new kitten into the home?
Thank you so much for this info! Hopeful this will help my current situation too😊🙏
Perfect timing for almost-one-year-old Miss Pip! Thanks!
These are great suggestions! I have two males that are just like Henry and Leonard. They are brothers from different mothers, both rescued as kittens. They've grown up together. One is calm and lazy, the other is full of energy. They "play" the same way, but like these two cats, there's no fear or panic going on. After a rough play session they will then curl up and literally hug and start grooming eachohter.
I can't understund how you are answering exactly all of my questions, video after video without me even asking xd great video! thx!!
I've been using it with my cats when play deteriorates to hissing and growling (not a full on fight, but someone is definitely unhappy). 10 minutes in the sitting room (which has my comfy chair) and they are usually better. Everyone calms down.
This is actually very helpful for my new kitten. Thank you Jackson!! Love ya!!
Great video as always. 😻😺
You’re the BEST, thanks, all common sense and great advice
I have two female litter mates who are a year old now. Their playtimes can look and sound brutal at times because one isn’t into the play as much as the other. There is hissing and growling etc. If I separate them, then the one getting “beat on” finds it a good moment to get the other back and it’s game on again. I just let them have at it. They work it out. An hour later they are grooming each other and falling asleep together.
.. or even 15 minutes later.
@@toriless very true😊
I have a pair of littermates like that. Minus the grooming and cuddling afterwards.
I read and even watched on JG videos that hissing and growing isn't good and may require retraining with the slow cat-to-cat introduction process...
But if it works for you (them) 🤷🏾♀️
@@tee3219 I’ve had cats my entire life. My girls absolutely love each other. There are just moments that one isn’t into playing as rough as the other. It lasts about 3 minutes and it’s over. Animals live in the moment. They don’t hold grudges unlike people. No training necessary, it’s how all of my cats have played. Most of the time they are chasing each other like a herd of elephants through my house. The only thing getting hurt is all my broken decor. Gorilla glue has become my favorite friend. 😂
Thanks for ALL of your tips about cats!Now i can being trusted by all cats around my house!
Looking very colourful today Jackson, love it!
We have this issue with our two adoptees, while they are not litter mates, there were fostered together since birth, two diff moms. Our tank, Huck, really pounces on his little sis, Daisy. She is about 5 lbs less than he is. This video was very helpful in understanding his play even though it doesn’t seem like play to us.
I hit "like" on all your videos that I watch...ty for your kindness in sharing 😽
I thought I understood the difference between cats & dogs but Jackson makes clear they are far more different than I thought. Love learning the details that matter. Thanks.
Small increments of time out for my Cali truly helped. It just calms her down and me!
My cat🐱 is thanking you through me😊 coz u make so much sense...and when I apply what you teach me...it works!
🙏🤗🐾💕🐱
So helpful!!!!
These videos have saved my Cats life. All we have is eachother. Thank you
I honestly give me cat a small time out if she starts being aggressive or overwhelmed if new people are over. She sometimes hides on her own but a lot of the time she will attack so I put her in the bedroom and let her calm down for like 3-5 minutes and try again. That's helped a lot introducing her to my friends. She's gotten way less aggressive we also started playing with her a lot before someone comes over so she's wore out.
That's exactly what I'm dealing with now, thanks for the on the spot video. My two cats are exactly the same as these fellows, so I'm gonna make the victim one more confident 🥰
I don't have a cat but had one before. I don't believe I will get one in the near future. So the only reason I watch these videos is because of Jackson Galaxy! He is so super awesome! And its so great to learn more about these animals that kinda got shoved aside while dog videos and programs etc took over. Until Jackson and his amazing program and videos! Cats are a bit mysterious animals to us so its great to unmystify them a bit so we can connect with them on a whole new level! Thank you Jackson for all your time and effort sharing with us all this information about cats!
Thank you! I have this EXACT same situation with my two cats. Also littermates. Also young.
Ur awsome I love ur videos
THIS was the video I needed atm!
Love the new intro! 😺❤
Yup. Three or four mornings each week Bailey get going attacking my other two. Chasing, swatting, rolling and generally being " bad". If he can't get one of them he runs up and down a six foot metal ladder which has become bedroom decoration because Bailey likes it.
I give time outs because my cat won’t stay out of the kitchen. She tries to get into my cupboards, the doors begin banging and I don’t want her in there or on the counter anyway. I think time-outs are for me more than my cat. I get a fifteen minute break. When she comes out of her room though, she side steps the kitchen. I realize she is hunting but I just feed her and she still does it. Thank goodness cats sleep. I’m starting taking her out on her harness to enrich her life and give her something else to do.
My new kitty is so calm and loves humans she chose me….I did it right cuz my sisters still hisses! She just came out of her hut to lay with me and she saw that your intro was on! She no lie loves watching your videos
I was fighting my BF on time outs but this makes us both right. My girl Spooky has to be on time out but ONLY after we’ve given her time to play. Thank you for this video.
This was actually very helpful! Thank you Jackson! Now I know when my crazy kitten goes batshit crazy. I can put her in a time out. Cuz sometimes even getting her focused on something else besides the thing that is making her go crazy , is hard to do.
thumbs up as always!!!
I love this video. I have the same problem with my 2 girls and have been trying to find solutions.
Kuro needs his time outs. He's sometimes acting crazy so badly that he's going to hurt himself. But I hate myself everytime and I'm wondering if there is a better way. I lock him with a blanket and treats in my bathroom for about 5-10min. That happens maybe once or twice a month. Normally he falls asleep but there must be a better way. I love my little a*hole so much.
I haven't watched the full video yet but this actually sounds like an effective method. If he's not continuing the behavior or freaking out and goes to sleep then it's what he needed. I know you feel bad but you have no reason to! I can tell your mind an actions are focused on his health and safety. Maybe instead of calling it "time out", call it "reset time" or another positive name giving it a less negative connotation.
I hope this helps you out if the video doesn't beat me to it.
-a lady with 5 cats
study classical conditioning.
Conditioning is the easiest way to get someone or animals to show a certain behaviour more often or less often.
It's a simple concept.
Once or twice a month is not going to hurt him. It just shows "Hey, you're being a bit much, hang out with all your stuff for a little bit to chill out." I don't think you're doing anything wrong. He's tiring himself out and falling asleep in a controlled area. He knows you still love him, I'm sure
Jackson just said you shouldn’t reward the cat though by giving treats. 10:10
lf he's falling asleep then he's gotten what he needed - calm.
Love it 🌟🤩🌟
I personally don't do time out I try to distract them by playing with them every night with a routine like you said
Cats are extremely easy to distract.
But what if their overactive behavior is not at night or at a convenient time?
This gives a healthy option for those moments.
@@toriless
Until they catch on that... "this" means "that"...they often figure out the cause and effect and then run and hide before you can get to them--like getting them in their pet carriers or putting on their leash.
The wand toy is no longer effective bcs they've figured out it means you're trying to corral me 😬
@@tee3219 usually I try to play with them every night but a lot of times my gray cat will meow at his other buddy at night when I'm in bed it's like I'm not going to put them in time out when I'm trying to go to sleep for work LOL
i feed my cat 3 meals a day in 9am /3pm/9pm is it good times for her?
Jackson, your shirt is AWESOME 👌
When my 14 year old cat was younger ( up to 6 year old ) I did give him time outs in the bathroom when he went all out crazy. 10 minutes in the bathroom, he would come out and be a lot calmer. I did make sure he had access to water and litterbox.
As he got older and we moved, the need for time out went away
“Run Leonard ragged” 😂🤣😂🤣 I have an active cat and I’m gonna try and do more “play”
I am fortunate my cat, an only cat, is such a good girl I've never had to give her any sort of time out nor other "punishment." Even at the vet's office they always tell me what a good girl she is. Easy to deal with, and no fuss. She is a sweetheart. The opposite of a cat from hell. 🥰😸
that was my last kitty, she died peacefully in her sleep at 20 and 3 months old, i still mis sher, my current kittyis 3 and she is almost the perfect cat , social, very loving and affectionate, playful, but also very chill. one problem, she cannot stand music . i do put my cat Ohuna out of the room when i practice, play or sing music, because she cannot stand music of any kind, at any volume, it gets her keyed up and she will not let you play she gets extremely hyper and grabs you, the instrument, pushes with paws and head, does everything to stop the music, so i put her out of the room, she has the rest of the house to do what ever in, for those couple hours while i do music, i finish up, and i open the door, she is fine, she does not cry, or go make a mess out of boredom or frustration, she does not paw at the door or what have ya. she lays down, or plays in the other rooms, eats, goes about normal calm kitty stuff.... so i just do us both a favor, she cant stand music , it gets her very keyed up anxious and obnoxious. and she interrupts practice and rehearsals, and that is not conducive for us..... but other than that shes a perfect cat, she is extremely loving, social, out going, playful, but also chill and laid back... except when it comes to music, i guess the frequencies and pitches and tones bother her.... its a first, i have never had a cat before who had any issues with music, but Ohuna literally start pulling stuff out of shelves, meowing non stop, pawing, grabbing at pushing at instruments, anyone singing she gets face to face and meows and puts her hands (paws) on your face and pushes as well as headbutts insistently, but you stop singing, you turn off the music, stop playing the instrument, and she stops doing this shit ! m a musician, like jackson, music is going to happen, music needs to happen, so for this one thing, i put her out of he room and close the door so music can be listened to, practiced, sang, with out being interrupted and stopped, messed up, and she is not having any stress, or discomfort ... but its still hella frustrating and highly annoying, and just again, unusual, i have never had an animal react like this to music, they all were either memorized by it, or completely indifferent, but no, ohuna has this one flaw .
@@Shannonbarnesdr1 Sadly, since I posted that message 4 months ago, my wonderful cat Abby had a blood clot on July 22 that paralyzed her back legs. I took her to the vet as soon as I found her that way, and they did everything they could for 24 hours, but Abby was not getting any better, so I had to have her euthanized on July 23. I was with her at the end, and I cried like a baby. She is now buried in my backyard. Abby was such a sweetheart. This devastated me, and left me brokenhearted. I love her and miss her so much! 😢😿💔
@@lloydhlavac6807 oh man im so sorry to hear that, man thats crazy, im glad you were able to get her care and at least ease her suffering, its rough, they are family , but i alsok now when we loose our fuzzies its good to get adopted and keep spreading that love. honeybear was just old, she was very healthy up until the last year and a half, even played and did occasional zoomies at 19 ! but she was not in pain she was very relaxed i gave her hospice care, kept her comfy and gave her love, and she went in her sleep peacefully. i also wrapped her in cotton and gave her a nice Jewish burial complete with star of david pinned on her shrouds in my yard , then i planted some nice leafy plants and flowers . shes got beautiful perennial flowers and plants to take care of in her after life , i miss her she was such a sweetie, but i still have plenty of love to give and i recently got adopted by Ohuna and thhe love is still flowing
hang in there man ! its rough but youll get through it and hopefully youll have more fuzzy people in your life to love
@@Shannonbarnesdr1 I just had to reply again after reading about the burial service you gave honeybear. That sounds really beautiful what you did for her. Abby was the 4th cat I've had, so I have been through this before, and I know things get better with time. I went 16 years without a cat before Abby showed up as a stray. She came and found me even though I didn't want another cat. She chose me to be her human, just like the cat I had before her did, and I think that is why my relationships with them was so good. They were really special cats. Maybe some day another special cat will come and find me too, but that is really the only way I will ever have another one.
@@lloydhlavac6807 oh definitely ! yeah i gave her hospice care, sat with her, made sure she was comfy, played soft music, had cande lit for calm pleasant smell, i reassured her, and when she went to sleep and took her last breaths, early next morning i buried her proper because she was very special , she chose me, like your babies did. and she wasent just a cat, or just my cat, everyone who came over, loved her !! she had such a great personality and people bonded with her as she did with them ! and i can only hope that when my time comes someone will be there to keep me comfortable and help me go comfortable and feeling loved.
PERFECT shirt, Mr. Galaxy.
SO glad she/he addressed this! In my book theres NO such thing as a BAD animal; Only those who have been (even if unintentionally) led astray by their owners own shortcomings! Which CLEARLY is NOT the case in this specific story - As her asking as opposed to assuming shows how deeply she cares about both her boys ❤️ My becoming SO obsessed with Jaxson has made me realize how truly profound the connection I have with my two boys is (who have almost this exact situation going on - My oldest is more reserved, laid back and SO SO sweet - Viewing his crazy energetic younger brother as his “dependant“, always cleaning him and letting him get about 10 ‘slaps’ in before he reminds him who’s *truly* boss ;p)!
Ah, this makes me feel so much better.. my cat who is the sweetest boy ever will just randomly get overstimulated and attack me pretty badly - like drawing blood all across my stomach while I was standing up.. When he does this, the only thing that will calm him down and keep both of us safe is to put him in the bathroom for 10 minutes. He used to be an indoor-outdoor cat, and now that he's permentantly indoors he has a difficult time getting all of his energy out.
I had a TNR cat that was the same way. Some things that helped that might also help your cat - Trixie puzzle helped him alot. I got him a cat stroller and took him for walks. Lots of window access. Kicker toys. Fresh cat grass (wheat grass) from the produce section at the grocery store, much cheaper than the pet store.Or you can grow it. Part of the reason my cat wanted out was to eat grass. And time out worked wonders. Longer he lived with us the less he needed time out. My cat also loved car rides.
In my house, Henry is the one who goes too far antagonizing his adoptive elder sister Lila. Henry sometimes gets put into a one or two minute time out in the laundry room while he hopefully cools down and Lila gets a chance to go somewhere in the house without him on her literally every step of the way. They get playtime to deal with this, but I'm not comfortable with immediately rewarding Henry with playtime as he's bullying Lila.
Yes they work. Its the best way to teach them discipline without using loud voice or hurting them. They are smart animals, soon as they do what is not acceptavle. Keep them in time iut and they very soon make the connection.
Hello Jackson!
I normally like Jackson's style, but I just realised that I own curtains with the exact fabric of his shirt 😂 I've been watching this channel for too long!
Timeout is a lifesaver for one of our cats. She's got mild anxiety and gets easily overstimulated. I have four teenage kids and one of them has days where she picks her up all the time to the point she gets real nervous. No matter how many times my daughter is told to stop touching the cat she just loves that cat because she won't fight back. We have four cats and the other three when they're done being held and cuddled there's nothing you can do, they're done. But the oldest one still only two years old but the oldest of our four cats is most tolerant so my daughter goes for her the most. That being said we do have to use timeout on that kitty because she becomes very anxious and starts twitching like crazy. So we put her in her favorite room with the lights out, some yummy treats and just let her unwind. She's much happier after she's been away from the crowd for a while. It's not a daily thing because that cat belongs to my other teenage daughter who's very protective and won't let her sister pick her up all the time. If she tries.....my cat mama daughter pulls out the squirt bottle and let's her sister have it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Squirt the human not that cat! I love your base camp, sounds like the perfect place for some quiet time.
so let me get this straight.
A timeout is usually for people. Not for animals.
It is for people who showed misbehaviour that wasn't appropriate to get a bit of time off to think about and review about that behaviour to realize the behaviour previously shown was wrong.
And YOU give that timeout treatment with actual TREATS to get some time off to calm down.
That makes no sense. You should give your kid a timeout actually.
The cat just needs time alone to chill. It's not a timeout you give the cat.It's just giving the cat the room and time to relax and to calm down.
Actual timeouts don't work for animals because they don't review previously shown misbehaviour.
@@Brigada91RealBriggy Why would you be so rude to this woman? Jackson didn't say time-out could never, ever be used. The daughter who won't leave the anxious kitty alone is getting a punishment, even if it's from another daughter.
@@Brigada91RealBriggy lol our cat isn't getting timeout for being in trouble, only some quiet time away from my 19 year old daughter who tends to love on her too much at times making her anxious. When my other daughter is home from work who the cat belongs to, that overly touchy daughter gets the spray bottle🤣🤣. She puts that cat down fast when she sees her sister get protective over her cat🤣🤣. These girls are 19 and 20 years old I let them resolve things the way they wish as long as no one gets hurt🤣. It's done in a light-hearted manner no wars ever started👌
@@drfreud65 Thank you 👍😊👍
We have two males who sometimes need to be separated before play escalates into fur flying territorial smack downs. Gives them a chance to take a nap instead of setting their relationship back. We've had to take slooow introduction back to square one, now things seem to be going much smoother! Also pheromones are helping a ton.
My younger cat grew up with his older brother (about 4months apart) I supervised play, didn’t intervene unless necessary, and now, the younger is a lot bigger and boy, he’s fast, strong, and skilled! Very athletic the both of em
Love that shirt
Great shirt!
Thank you, Jackson--this was helpful to me. I have a Ragdoll kitten (Teddy) who needs a couple of quiet breaks in the day to calm himself (after we've had PLENTY of interactive playtime). Sometimes I go into a different room and close the door. Other times, I'll put him in the master bathroom (lots of space for him) where he can have a "spa" moment. Ha! I make sure there are no 'breakables' in the room that he could knock off a counter -- just soft things like towels, a loofa and a box of kleenex.
I had to consider this last week when my kitten got off her harness and hid under the neighbours garage. It took me 4-5 hours to catch her. I realized that I couldn't punish her because she didn't know she was breaking any rules because I haven't taught her yet. Luckily she's getting better with her harness training and has relaxed.
I love that shirt!
