      That's great. If Teddy hadn't always behaved like that before he came to you, my guess is he was just in a lot of confusion and stress at losing his territory and his flatmate all of a sudden. He must have been super scared at first, and then, when he felt he was not in danger, he started fearing he'd lose the place and person again. But if he's getting better maybe he's less scared now.

    The cat is treating him like his best cat friend. Anyone with two cats that get along very well, knows that cats have lots of energy, especially indoor cats. And they chase each other around, and turn into one big ball of biting scratching fur. Fur literally flies all over. It LOOKS wild, but they're having a great time.
    I had two brothers.They were utterly devoted to each other. I got them as tiny kittens...rescue, of course. And when they weren't attacking each other and leaving clumps of fur all over the house, they were licking each other, and curled up asleep together.
    This lovely young man has been deemed an honorary cat sibling by this fur ball. Which is quite the testament to how nice he is.

      Thanks for understanding. Trust me I've thought long and hard about this and it pains me to let him go, but when I'm being honest with myself I know this isn't the ideal long term home for him. I was originally only going to take care of him for a month, but it ended becoming a year. Fortunately I work for the dodo and am able to make a video that reaches millions of people in order to find him the perfect situation. It's been a very tough decision and I appreciate you seeing that. He'll be with me until the most perfect situation comes along

I love him to bits, but I find his constant need of attention inconvenient/irritating at times. It pains me to admit, but I do think I need to find him a new home, with someone who has the capacity to provide him with a constant supply of cuddles & kisses. It’s nice to see I am not alone in this, as the guilt is sometimes too much to bear.

      Giving Teddy to Bill was also obviously better than surrendering him to an animal shelter... or worse yet, euthanizing him. But I don't think the purpose of the comment was to suggest that Bill never should've taken Teddy. Rather, it was to commend Bill for recognizing that ultimately Teddy does need a guardian who can be around more & for taking appropriate steps to find him one.

    First of all, what a great foster dad and a friend this guy is! It looks like Teddy needs a lot of attention and interaction. The suggestion to get another cat as company might work, but it doesn’t change the fact that “dad” travels a lot. There’s no guarantee that the new cat and Teddy will get along or even like each other. I think that finding Teddy a new home would be the best solution,and a very selfless and loving act for “dad” to do. I hope Teddy finds his forever home! 💕

      What part of this don't you get. I hate when people force their narratives on others. He clearly said he's gone weeks at a time. Even though the cat is attached to him, the cat needs a companion. It needs consistent attention. Getting another car doesn't help this dude one bit. Think about the human needs sometimes. His life shouldn't be dictated by a cat. He helped his friend out, ownership of something you never intended to keep forever shouldn't be a life sentence. I love animals too but I'm tired of the people who say the "he loves you" crap. As if he's obligated to change his life around for the protection of something he never wanted. If he didn't want one, why would he get two? There's someone who will love and appreciate this cat unconditionally. It's just not him. Prioritize your life, not an animal!

I loved my animals forever but it came to a point where it was affecting my finances because everything revolved around them. All you hear is that "they love you" but no one cares whether I could pay the bills or was homeless because I had to turn down jobs that were not local. So there comes a time where you make the BEST decision for the animal and YOURSELF. That was the best decision I made. I sacrificed 11 years and struggled. So when people look only at the animals best interest and avoid giving a damn about the person's best interest, that is a problem with me.

    I'm glad he figured out the cat was bored. Hope he's also finding time to really interact, play and challenge him before bedtime also as that will nip some bad behaviors in the bud before the bloom.

    Don't overthink this! Look how happy, secure, thriving, entertained and loved he is living with you! He clearly bonded with you and chose YOU as his person. I also travelled a lot and was away a lot for work, but my cat was worth all the extra efforts of finding cat sitters and finding temporary solutions when needed.

    @JesusismyGOD 6 месяцев назад +4

    Poor thing must be so confused as to where his previous owner went to and why he has a new owner? He probably feels insecure and is poking about with this new guy to test him and see what he is all about. These animals have complex emotions and little mind/brains that can not comprehend what is happening to their safety/security/familiarity. So just love him and try to be patient with him. Hopefully something wonderful will happen one way or another with this little baby.

    When my cat goes into attack mode, he gets a time out in our enclosed front porch. He can come back in when he wants, but even a minute or two out there seems to re-set his brain, and he's back to normal again. Cat toys like "kickers" are also really helpful as well. Good luck!

    I used to be only a dog lover, but because of "The Dodo," I have come (grown) to be a cat lover also. And if my living situation allowed for it, I'd definitely give this adorable fluffy "stalker" a permanent home. This "stalker's" foster dad deserves respect, because very few persons think of the long-term effects of how an an animal (once someone's pet) will react because of a change in its environment or surroundings. Best wishes for this foster dad & his fluffy adorable, extremely lovable (to me) "stalker." 😁😎👍

  • @Neptune466
    @Neptune466 6 месяцев назад +6

    This is the beauty of fostering. The foster REALLY gets to know what the animal needs so a successful match can be found. For instance, this cat would be a terrible match for my 80 year old mom (who adores cats and has always had them) but straight from the shelter this cat would have had to go and that would be painful but necessary for all parties. Being a foster is one of the most selfless ways to help animals (and people!)

      The dude's smart to realize the commitment of pet ownership, the former owner was smart to find an exceptional and kind person to care for her cat when she couldn't anymore.
      Since the OP adopted Archie, I hope it all works out well. His concerns were valid and considerate. Archie was probably acting out from losing his home, person, stability.

    I was helping a stray cat out once till I found him a home. He was use to being outdoors running around. When I had brought him in, he started attacking certain people and leaving blood on their legs, so I let him out and he was fine after that, he came home everyday for dinner and breakfast and after a nap, was off, but very sweet to people after that. So I made sure the new owner knew that.

    Oh dear, my friend I have some news--Teddy has imprinted on you.
    As in, in Teddy's mind, you are the human of his little heart. The bees knees if you will. You're the best thing since cap nip and tuna combined.
    He's a very intelligent cat, more, lots more mental stimulation will do wonders for the slight ill-behaviour at times. You are indeed correct, Teddy is what is called love biting and the scaling you or swats are to bring your attention back to him.
    --Teddy is fully in love with whom he sees you as, his hoooman; you. 💞
    He loves everything about you in fact aside from when your attention is on something or someone else.
    This is where getting Teddy more mental stimulation comes in.
    The auto toys and games are an excellent start, you will want to pick up some more. Add a few more scratching posts, a window seat and try some kitty tv with birds or smaller prey that dashes around on screen. See if that sparks his attention.
    Perhaps just take a beat--and try a few more things before seeking to replace him.
    Because it does really seem like he has imprinted on you. 💓😻
    Teddy by the by is a magnificent cat.
    He's is Gorgeous! And very, very smart.
    May I please just suggest, making a few modifications and trying a few more of the above mentioned prior to the other decision?
    That would be such a lovely thing to do for Teddy's sake.
    I think you are fond enough for Teddy, that I know he hopes you will as well. He really is rather majestic and he adores you so.
    Hope you keep us updated.
    Cheers! 🙂
