💬 Do you think humans are unfair to cats?
I think many people are.
I
No
I think most people are at least somewhat unfair because they don't take the time to learn the huge differences between dogs and cats. They naturally favor dogs because of their more overt social interaction. And don't give cats a fair chance to understand the cat's differing social cues..
#1, i.e., the last one. I once made the mistake of switching my cats' litter all at once. Never do this. None of my cats would use it. I had to get more of the old cat litter and slowly change it over.
As for whether humans are unfair to cats? That definitely used to be the case, very much, but not anymore. I'm old (65) and I can remember when having a cat as a pet was considered odd and many people out-and-out hated cats. Even in the 1960's and 1970's it was still believed that cats smothered babies in their cribs. Those who did have cats usually kept them outside (also dogs) and only kept them at all to keep the mouse and rat populations down. That's why the old saw was to give a cat a saucer of milk. You never fed a cat, you only gave them milk because if you fed them they would not hunt. As for me, I always had cats and am sort of a cat whisperer. At least, I can always spot them and have often made friends with strange cats. Plus, apart from the mistake with the cat litter, I have always followed all the items mentioned on this list. I could add a few of my own, too. Like what to expect when adopting an adult cat, how to integrate adult cats with other animals, how to bathe a cat with minimal stress to either of you, etc.
I was in the hospital last month for a week and three days. My son informed me that my two cats stopped eating, layed around all day and were extremely depressed. When I got home, they never left my side. I talked with them, gave lots of love and acknowledged everything they did. They love like we love and they are my world!
Animals are intelligent and unlike people, they’re no-nonsense, taking life seriously. They know the weather is a looming threat and they look to us, to help them get through it! They worry and fear, just as we do.
I was hospitalized for a few days. When I came home my cats weren't visible. When they heard my voice, they came running as if they hadn't expected to see me again.
Awwwwww, such love
Mone too!
@jangowen7333. Yes they do!
The best part of my day is when I get home from work and my cats run to greet me. How could I not give them some love.
Ditto
my cat was 17 years old and when would hear my car he would run out the driveway to meet me. he dies a few years ago and I still miss and love him.
@Crlpope My cats recognized the sound of my car, I parked behind the garden and entered by the backdoor. But once a fortnight I took in the garbagecontainer and put it at the frontdoor. My cats sat waiting at the window at the back wondering where I was. When I entered the room they came to greet me.
Had a tomcat a few years back. Shot out the door when I left for work in the morning, and the missus said she wouldn't see him all day. The only time he'd reappear was when I got home, sitting on the garden wall waiting for me. He'd jump down as I got out the car and leapt up into my arms! The one time he spent the day indoors, I got ill and spent the whole day in bed with him perched on top of the duvet. God I miss that cat. He was special, they all are in their own little ways.
@shaunsaunders531 My boyfriend and I had a similar wildcat, large & independent wait for us when we got to the house after work. Then, we'd all leave the house for work in the morning. I assume he hunted, ate. Got into fights. It was nice for him to have a home with us 😊
We adopted a cat our neighbors threw out of their home for being vicious. He was the most gentle and loving cat we ever had.
Animals find a way of finding good people ❤❤❤
I'd never speak to those neighbors again. If we saw each other I would give them hate looks and🖕🏻
Thank you for adopting him. Your neighbours are the vicious people, I hope they have changed their viciuous minds
I had a lot of cats during my adult life (I am 81 now), twice a stray cat. They were at first not easy to handle, but in the end turned out to be sweet and loving. Depends on how you treat your cat. Just like cats I dislike loud noises, I move quietly and talk in a low voice.
We adopted one of our cats after he was returned to the shelter for compulsively licking his owners.
The idiots didn't realize that he was doing it because they were making him feel insecure and scared, and he was attempting to bond with them so that they would make him feel safe.
He licked me for about a week until he realized that he was safe. He now only gives a couple of licks to say thank you for things I do for him, or to make me feel better when he can tell I'm in pain.
I always tell my Inside Cat "i will be back" and when i do return, i always say his name and say "im back, buddy."
Me too! I tell them I have to leave and why and when I will be back.
Me too.
same✨
I have come to telling them " you are good"
They seem to like .
Oh my god, I do that too!
Who comes home and ignores their pet? Always great animals and humans if you care for each other.
When I walk in the door, my big orange boy flops on his side to be petted. I have to drop everything and stop to pet him.
The first thing I do when I get through the door is greet, my fur baby feline.
Me too. He is usually sleeping under a bianket I have on my settee. SO, I just shout his name and wait for the meow.
We also tell ours when we're leaving, and when we expect to be back.
@dudovich13 My little man knows my work routine and is at the door when I'm heading out. I give him a scratch behind the ear, tell him I'll be back, and ask him to watch over the house. When I get home he's there to tell me about what he saw in the window and of course I pick him up to give him his reward hug.
@sivalley My cat is always sitting in the window watching for my car. I see him jump down and get into greeting position!
@MissyQ12345🥰
In my opinion it's real easy, if you don't love cats, don't get one! It's a 15 - 20 years responsibility you take on. I took a kitten from a wildcat when i was 17, he was very affectionate but also had a temper, i have scars as memorys from having him for 18 years until he died, but not once would i ever considered leaving him or not loving him because he was the best friend i ever had in my life.
You make me cry😅
In a good way
Many people, especially people who were not raised with pets, will miss a lot of the communication coming from their animals even though they love them. Love doesn’t guarantee understanding unfortunately.
@Milamberinx So true!
You're a lovely person. ❤
I adopted a stray cat a year ago . He was a older cat and looked like he had the world on his shoulders . He didn't play or even groom to begin it . Now he comes to tell you he wants to play with you . He even plays on his own now .
Nice .there is one I have,she used to run if she saw you for 6 years ,she was out there .
It's weird because I prayed she would come to me .She is currently curled up on my bed .Has been in for probably since Covid .
Thanks for taking him in. I feed a bunch of stray cats. It makes me feel good that's probably why I do it😂
Awww what a GREAT story🙏🙏
One day I dropped the lid off a 2-liter, it went under the toe space and considering I'm lazier than most cat and the bottle was empty I left it...
A few days later my Ghost found it and started batting it along the floor then chasing it............
They never like the super expensive ones, do they?
AND your hand wiggling under a blanket or towel is the BEST THING to pounce on!!!
Same here 😻
We adopted brother and sister Maine Coon cats from a no kill shelter. Their former owner had died. They are absolutely wonderful companions to our entire family including our dog...they sometimes actually sleep together.
I kiss and hug mine, hold them, tell them I love them. When the weather is bad I talk to them, watch them to be OK. I greet them in the mornings and when I get home by touching them. Speaking to them always.❤❤
When you can have your dog and your cat be friend you're the most happy person in the world : )
I had a wonderful Maine Coon. I got him at about 8 weeks of age from a shelter. He was so tiny. I had no idea he was a Maine Coon. He was in constant motion for the first two years of his life, driving my downstairs neighbor crazy. But I loved him dearly and eventually he calmed down enough that my older cat could be around him without being annoyed. I could pick him up and carry him like a baby; all 22 lbs of him. Magical Merlin. I miss him many years after he left this world at age 18.
my 2 cats always sleep together entwined either on a chair or cat bed. They were in a house with 60 cats that got raided, and then in a shelter for a year. They do everything together including talking to each other and calling the other if they are out of sight. They don't say meow to each other, only to me.
And NEVER declaw a cat, it causes pain for the rest of their life.
🎯☝️🎯☝️🎯☝️🎯
I tried a laser pointer with my Maine Coon cat. He played for about 2 minutes at most, realized there was nothing to catch. He looked at me with an amazing expression of disgust, left the room, & would forever after ignore the pointer. He was peeved!
Smart cat, he realized it wasn't real.
@johnlundvall8911And was NOT happy about being fooled!
I lived with 2 Maine Coon Cats,brother and sister. They chased feathers on a fishing line once,and I got the "look",you speak of. They are both gone now,I realize what a blessing I was given,and miss them daily.
Yeah ,get rid of that! I don't know if you live in city.
I get up and let them out at 4 am to 4: 49.
So they get the hunt on.
The moon is also an aspect of what they like to do....full moon 🌙 crrrrrazz cats
@frangeewong6215yeah, I dumped the laser pointer years ago. I live on in a busy highway so my cats are indoor only. Most of the walls of the house are covered with climbing trees, ramps, tubes, shelves, etc, & we play with physical toys to feed their hunting instincts.
My cat will not use the litter box unless I use Scoop Away litter, which is scented. I adopted her at 10 years old and I’ve had her for 6 years. (I’m also a senior.) Shes very set in her ways, so I try to do things for her exactly the same way every day. Her feeding times are set, twice a day at 8 and 8, scoop the box at least once a day and more if she needs it. I play and snuggle with her whenever she wants. I never wake her up to snuggle, mostly letting her initiate our interactions. And I never, ever yell or raise my voice.
We absolutely adore each other!
She’s got you trained!!!!!
Fantastic 🌟🌟🌟🌟🥰
@kimlandefeld3005😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Every cat I have had, from a kitten to several rehomed due to incompatibility with other cats have always been greeted by me when leaving and returning. They all turned into vocal cats and tell me everything that is happening. I love it and them for sharing.
I look forward to the spring, summer and autumn. Then I know my neighbours cat on a regular basis says hello and walks into my house. There he rests for a while, drink some water and off he goes again.
The cat next door has been coming in since he was a kitten (he is 13 now). We keep a cat bowl with Dreamies in the kitchen and he pops in when he is passing by and has a few and sometimes just for a fuss. He often talks to me like he is telling me something he has done or if something has happened to him.
When I wake up, when I go to bed,when I leave and when I get home, I acknowledge them separately and tell them that mommy loves them.
You have to be a special kind of monster to not absolutely smush your cat with hugs, pets and scratches while using the highest voice possible to express your everlasting love once you get back home.
While watching this my cat rolled onto her back so I could stroke her belly.
Ours don't like belly rubs. And they don't like to be picked up, either. They'll hiss, claw and scratch until they're free, but they sleep with us every night.
I tried it just to see how he react. I don't think he enjoys it. Just tolerates belly rubs. He is laying parallel to me w/ his belly exposed. But I tried to make his paws dance to music & he's not amused. I don't really want him to be all velcro like. But I do like holding his hand bc idk, it amuses me to think he might think my hooman is weird... She just likes put her fingers on paws & then leave them there for however long. Idrk why but I guess she likes it that way. So, it's just wever. I just do it bc she does ... Also, he actually taught me how to "misbehave" this way tho.
The most vulnerable part of a cat is their belly. As humans walk upright, always exposing their bellies, to cats we're saying "I trust you". Much of the time when a cat rolls over, exposing their tummy, it's to say "I trust you". It's usually _not_ an invitation to touch it. Many cats dislike having it touched.
My cat, Babycakes, meows at me, I ask her to show me what she wants and she will. I didn’t train her to do that, I just said it to her one day and since then my life and her life has been easier. We get along better, and she’s more loving.
cats are scary smart like that. Just like little children
I think my cat tell me thanks for his every meal and filled water bowl.
Dogs have owners, cats have staff.
Both have staff. Cats are more like roommates. While dogs are like children.
Haha my Siamese lets me know she owns me.
GREAT video. All of us pet owners need to keep learning.
My beautiful formerly feral tabby moved in with her five newborns one day, 6 years ago. She is always trying to feed me with mice/rats she catches, snakes too. Greets me in the driveway, follows me anywhere on the property. I can't imagine not having her in my life!
3:35 there's a woman that got firm with her cat that was on a baby with its claws out.
She told the cat to put the claws away, and the cat did.
Cats are capable of understanding us.
I saw that one. Do I watch too many cat videos?
My cat peeks around the chair to make sure its me, then runs to the scratching post, and does her claws. Then it's time for Lilly "food." Im talking to her the whole time atfer I come in. It's a routine now.
We found that Baking soda is helpful for smells and do nit bother our cats
Who's 'we', mammo?
@ServaDoctrinaGrow up!.
Aluminum'free baking soda works well & is harmless
They come to bed with me for hugs, and then they go downstairs to their beds.❤
My littlest one has to burrow under the covers and sleep between my feet. He will bite me if I dare to move.
@MissyQ12345 it's the mother cat if left upstairs all night attacks my toe's..it hurts 😊 but she doesn't do it to anyone else.
Research has shown that when my cat drools on me he’s relaxed.
any sources ? 😂
Drooling can also be a neurological disorder. A vet told me this.
@reynhart66 Yes, the mouth.
@jojokatz3256 Thanks. However this is from petting him, and precedes him suckling his blanket. I keep a glass of water on the night stand for him to rehydrate. The blanket gets pretty wet.
@jojokatz3256yes the vets like to turn normal if unusual into a condition that requires treatment usually expensive. Some of my cats drool when they feel especially loving others not at all.
Always really happy to get home to see my sweet kitty bears. If Ive been to the market, they can expect a small treat and will circle my legs trilling to ask for the treats. I know all the happy little spots to scratch or use the brush. One spot that is apparently a big favorite, is that little depression just in front of the ears, high on the forehead. Gentle strokes there result in immediate purring and closed eyes, very sweet. They know the word"brush" and always meet me on the bed for a full-on group grooming after I have said, "how about a good brushing? They always enjoy it and their coats are sleak and shiney. They typically take a nap after a good grooming. Since each has his own heating pads, they can curl up next to each other at the foot of the bed. Alternatives to anger include one calm word, "no". Along with an alternate activity. But, gentle always, since they are so very perceptive and my boys have tender hearts. I listen for the "trill", I love the sound and it means they are happy and upbeat. I am allergic to them, daily brushing helps, but the truth is I could never give them up. They are about 15 years old.
Hey that spot on the head you speak of, THAT seems to be a significant area. When my precious cat Juuls had to be euthanized my hand was on that spot and I felt him leave from it 😢 I WAS SHOCKED, SURPRISED AND AMAZED ALL IN THAT HEARTBREAKING MOMENT! OH HOW I LOVE & MISS HIM 😢😢😢
@marciwilson4893 so sorry. That is the problem, they dont live as long as we do.
I have a sort of chant I do when I get home. I sing out 'Mom's hoooo-oooome!' And in the morning I say, 'Good morning (whoever!) - did you sleep well last night?', all the time stroking and petting.
Great
My Cats have a melody that encourages their identity
Our cat just wants to skip the hunting game and go straight to the Dreamies.
We used them to get her say from the feeding birds. They're like the cat equivalent of a million pounds.
😂 Dreamies all day long solve all problems.
When the auto-clean litter box moved in- and a week later it was still clean- kitty had made a new dump behind the couch. Moved out the auto- back to manual
And some of those "automatic" ones ended up catching and cutting their necks off.
It's the tray and scoop for me and mine.
I say an excited "Hi" each time they enter a room I'm in. One ignores me, the other looks at me as if to say "you said that 30 seconds ago, mom"
Meowing means food, water, litter box, or pets
or brush me, or let's play with feathers
If you sleep for too long, your cat gets worried 😢, are you still alive? Sometimes cats meow during the night. They may forget who they are or have a dream. When this happens, it's best to softly call their name, " come on Freddy ". This gives reassurance and comfort. Your cat may come and settle with you ❤😊
Toy mice, you can get ones that look like real ones. They are the best cat toys 😊
I love finding toy mouse on my chair or next to my pillow. 😅
My cat wants to play fetch with those all day and night long!
link please
@deniseogletree4852Most pet suppliers have these toy mice, right sized , grey fur and a tail, containing catnip 😊. Kittens and young cats especially go totally bonkers when you toss one across the room 😅. They love to push it under something and try to hook it out. A black cat of ours used to place the mouse in my wife's handbag 😊. ❤
@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64They go totally bonkers 😊❤
I have to be careful with my cat and my donkeys because they get their feelings hurt.
Don't let them become snowflakes like humans.
What does that mean?
Snowflakes.?
You sound like one of those bad dads trying to teach an innocent animal a lesson, which is nothing to do with humans at all.
I miss my cats when I'm on the road otr, I'm sure they miss me too.🐱
We had a cat who never liked being fussed and acted aloof. However, when he returned home from exploring he would jump up on his shelf and offer us a head butt. His natural and wild way of showing you affection and respect as part of his pride.
The highlight of my day is coming home from work and having my cats sprint over to welcome me. There’s no way I’m not stopping to shower them with love. 🐾💛
so you acknowledge they hate noise but still put a bell on their necks
Lil Bit is always waiting for me outside in the driveway. Then we go inside.
Love the name!
Lil Bit was my cousin's nickname lol!
@frangeewong6215 Interesting story on how I met , kept him. I came home from work and saw this little grey Tabby kitten. I tried to coax him but he ran into our garage which is a junk jungle. I told him , I hope my tom cat Sylvester doesn't find you , he may not like it. I keep a food bowl out there. Opossum & racoons enjoy it too. Rural area . Sylvester was HUGE (RIP buddy) , and he went out looking for trouble a lot.
I went to work the next day , and someone asked me if I owned a grey kitten. I don't but I saw one yesterday , why do you ask?
He said, I just saw one come out from underneath your pickup. This was at lunch time. So I went out trying to call trying find it with some chkn from my lunch. No luck. I come home . Keep in mind it's 25 miles TO work 1 way. I get home there is Sylvester waiting for me in the driveway like usual. Hey Sylvester, how you doing... He walks past me. I turn around and here comes this grey kitten from my truck right up to Sylvester! WTH is happening? Sylvester walks up to him , AND Sylvester would not let me get close to this kitten ! He stayed in-between me and the kitten. The kitten ran up to him . This kitten , Lil Bit I think may be Sylvester's offspring. That kitten rode 50 miles underneath my pickup , and the tom cat is the one that brought him here. Lil Bit is HUGE just like Sylvester was.
I say hi to my cats and dogs before my wife. I pick them up and kiss them on their face. I don't know if they understand a kiss but they get it anyway.
Ha,ha,ha,.
I also acknowledge them before the human spouse ,or what ch a call it
My fastidious man wakes me up with meows of great distress if he has had a tootsie roll in the night. I have to get up and clean the box. He inspects it and then lets me go back to bed.
😂 Tootsie roll. We call them Kitty Rocas. 😁
I give my panther hybrid boozas and pets all the time
once i got lightly scented kitty litter for my cats. The box is in the bathroom, which is quite small....within a few mins i found the smell overpowering. I can only imagine how bad it is for cats. (unscented litter ever after)
I've always used T---y K--s. There is one I think it's Hawaiian breeze or something like that it is scented but it is very very light I've used that November 15th 2015 I was chosen out of the blue by 20 lb ginger in my old neighborhood I never had a feeling up to that point I mean I've been around him but I personally it never had one found out about food and about trees found about glitter what food dry food goes to options and everything was fine then my Ginger passed away in like 3 and 1/2 months later in the same old neighborhood was presented a month old gray tabby Siamese mix her name is Roslyn show me 6 on July 1st.
@StevenRice-w2n THANKS for the tip about the litter!! Sorry you lost your Ginger, but you're going to have a wild time with a Siamese mix!! (i went on to get a purebred Siamese after having 2 sister mixes for 15 yrs) Good luck!
Corn based unscented so I can flush it.
Me too!
Ditto!
My cat sleeps while I am out. But before I leave a small treat & some petting before I leave.
The scented kitty litter is also TOXIC to cats. ☠️💔
Anything scented is toxic, period. To humans and animals.
@quickpro1892Correct! 💔☠️
Our male cat named me "Meowrour" and would go to the front door at 5 pm, waiting for me every day. He would call my name over and over and got so excited when the car pulled in. What a sweetheart!
I have 3 cats. At least 1 will always meet me at the door when I come home while the others sleep.❤
Those lasers need to be banned!!
Why?
No? Just throw a treat in when they “catch” it
Because the cat becomes stressed and mental issues arise when the cat can't ever catch it !😢
Absolutely, let the cat out instead and let it hunt (if you are not living in a big city) real prey.
@johnlundvall8911 Don’t do this
How could you ignore your fur babies??? Why have them then??? People who ignore their pets will do the same thing to adults and children.
I have a lot of StrayCats that I’m friends with and feed regularly. I now refrain from speaking to neighbors during feeding time! I found that if I pet one before the other; two of them get Very Offended and turn their back to me. They’re not “mine “, but regardless of when I come home,or if I’m at a neighbors apt. , they follow me! It’s nothing less than HUMBLING, not to mention Unconditional LOVE 💕🙏😊🌟💐
My mother had a friendly dog but she made it somewhat skittish and neurotic. She brought him to my house and he was wagging his tail, but I ignored him for the first few minutes. He was afraid of me after that and it took 2 weeks to overcome it.
I rub my cat's belly until he starts pushing away. He loves the belly rubs.
When my cat wants to jump up, lets say on my desk..she always looks at me first to give the signal that its safe. Its a non verbal cue, just a hand signal. We have a strong bond.
my cat will literally "tell" me when and where she wants pets. She will take her paw and rub the top of her head almost similar to grooming but she isnt licking her paw or anything and she only does this when im looking at her. I always ask her "oh do you want pets?" and she will go right to pawing her favorite spots to be pet and she stops when you go and pet her
i adopted a 9 month old tortie 7 years ago from a shelter this baby kitty loves me so much and wants for NOTHING we interact daily before and after work and then when she yowls its time for sleeps yes im kitty whipped and i wouldnt have it any other way because the day i met her and she being little she nuzzled my neck and gave me the best hug she found her forever home that day
Nobody “owns” a Cat ! They live with you (or you with them). When living with you no longer suits them, they’re gone. Several Cats have turned-up to live with us (and stayed).
Toward the end of the video, it showed a woman offering balls of yarn to the cats to play with....Don't do this!!! Cats take the end of the yarn strand in their mouth, swallow it (they can't spit it out because the comb surface of their tongue grabs it), and in the intestines, the yarn makes loops and ties up their intestines causing a blockage. Many vets report removing yarn from cat intestines....it's considered a life-threatening emergency. Don't let them get ahold of sewing thread, either, or dental floss you may have used and thrown in a bathroom trash can. DANGER! Don't let them play with plastic wrappers, such as off of a cigarette pack, pack of crackers, etc. because that reacts with their stomach acid (if swallowed) and turns into a glass-like sharp substance. Needless to say, none of us want to hurt our beloved cats accidentally.
Yeah, never let a cat have string. I have to hide toys with strings. If you can find someone who smokes, ask them for the crinkly wrapper. I think it makes a sound that cats hear from a bug. Oh, that probably doesn’t make sense, but certain crinkly sounds get cats very excited. ??
Yes
Very very dangerous plea😢de think health and safety
We are here to help
Patience is *always* the key. Not only with cats. My lifetime experience with dogs.
Thanks, Peter.
Yes ..no one likes being taken for granted not even cats .. animals

I have 2 Siamese cats who come out and greet me when I get home from work. They’re the first to get any attention too. Love them to bits
Whoever's coming home and snubbing their cat is just cold, surprised they even come home when you call for them.
My cat prefers Tidy Cats litter, and it is scented. She refused to use a litter with less scent. I tried Pritty Litter, and she did not like it. When I got her as a kitten, it took a few tries to find a litter she approved. 😊
😂 wow!
Regarding loud noises: right before i start the vacuum or the blender, or anything else that would startle my cats, i say "loud noise". One of my cats seems to understand, and doesn't act startled.
The garbage disposal! I just don’t run it if there’s a cat around. 😮
I actually don't even vacuum because they are peaceful. I even move off the couch if she settled.
I decided I don't really need any more tv😅
I have 4 cats, one of them always greets me when I get home. I always pet my cats I always make sure they know they are loved
I make a loud noise when they scratch on things they aren't supposed to, it helps
I had a very sick baby dropped in my life in 2015. The first 10 years have been on and off with me, and I have developed a huge allergy to her. I hope I get another 10 years because I have discovered some work arounds that have helped us both greatly .
I give him kisses and talk to him , he understands every word 💖
I have tourettes my cats are used to my loudness even wheb i feel really bad after and cry one of my 3 cats will vome and purr on me and lick my nose as if to say "you dont borher me" 😢❤😊
I tried a fishing rod type toy with the street cat who adopted me... only three times ... she clearly told me that she didnt like it coz she didnt want to appear angry in front of me. I'm serious - that is the clear message she gave me. Being a street cat she had to rely too much on anger to get around during her day - i think last thing she wanted was to be like that around me. Massive compliment.
Don't ignore your cat when you come home. I came home and say : Hallo Bella" and Bella just looks at me and walks off.
When cats are near ir on your lap. They give the purest love. In being quiet, and their purrs are to help your anxiety level to help you sleep. I have a cat Now and he has been there an hour already.
Thankyou for your video
I speak to my cats going to and coming from the bathroom. Going to bed and waking up, walking past them with my breakfast so they can smell it and walking past them again to put my dishes in the sink. When I leave the house and when I come home. Essentially, my cats rule the house, and I speak to them all of the time. It's in my cat employment contract.

My neighbor has been away a lot, her cat, pretty much just left.to her own devices..so I started to feed her, and now, even though she's back, the cat has moved in, it has been a bit challenging because of my own cat, Mini, a Devon Rex, was truly upset when another female entered the house, but, they are getting on better now, I show them both heaps of love, cuddles and praise...and food....as you should...showing them attention and love is probably what most people fail at..even if they keep them well fed and all..
Thank you for taking her in and giving her love. I hope your neighbor never gets another cat. Some people just shouldn’t have pets.
My Riley adopted me when he was a year old and I’ve been his for 12 years now. His former owner didn’t show him much love or attention and he wandered onto my porch one day and said in fluent feline “ok I live here now.” I tried to tell him to go home and he wasn’t having none of it. So I let him stay. That was almost 12 years ago 😊
Cats understand exactly what you said.
😊LOVE 🐈 CATS😊RH
Potpourri makes some cats hysterical. They cannot make sense of it
My pets know my schedule. When i come home my cats and dog wait at the door. I greet them and pet them. I take my dog out right away for at least an hour. Play fetch let him run around and be a dog. I feed them first then cook my food.
great observations , thank you
Thank you meow 💟
Grown up with cats, and know all these points.
I learn so much
My cat is center of attention, at all times. He’s thriving ! 😽😽😸😸😻😻
The blessing of cats.
Our cat bonded with me. Can rub his head but not his back
When i leave the house i tell the girls (3) to behave and when i get home, i tell them mamas home
In 1995 after having my sweetheart cat for fifteen years since she was just weeks old, I got injured and had to put her in a local cat-shelter that accepted her. About three months later I went to see her, she was deep inside a cat-house thing and she wouldn’t even acknowledge me!! She totally ignored me…she was really angry, or something! It felt like she was saying, ‘how could you have abandoned me’. It really hurt that she would not come to me and let me touch her! It appears that cats can hold a grudge toward an ‘owner’ if the person is suddenly gone! They loved her there and even took my cat into their home there on the property. She lived for five more years, thankfully well taken care of.
our dear Patches girl came down with conjunctivitis, or so we thought. the vet said tests came back negative, and it was apparently an allergic reaction. had we changed anything in the home around the time it started? we had. fresh-step cat litter. we went straight to unscented clumping clay, and her eyes cleared up in less than 24 hrs. happy cat!
I love my ol' Bootsie, he is a senior cat and set in his ways. He likes to go on the porch and I ask him is he ready to come in, if so he will, if not he will say Noooo and totally ignore me. He's just to cute
I don’t mind my boy going out, but I’m always afraid of the coyotes getting him. That would be awful!
Awesome video. Well done. 👍👍
The best part of my day was bringing roasted chicken to my boy Chato, he loved his treat and he was really appreciative. He always protected me and I could tell he had a lot of respect for me as I did for him. He's still alive thank God but my ex kidnapped him even though he chose me through the animal distribution system. I love you Chato and I hope you are living your best life! =(
My cat would wake up a moment to see mouses robbing his crockets and then he would go back to sleep, what a terror he was! I miss him so much
My kitten noticed his claws hurt me, so he's trying his best not to scratch us, even climbing my leg without his claws. You can tell he's trying so i Thank him😊
excellent👌🏼
3:24 Don't hit them. It is never okay to hit them.
Never. I shudder at the thought of that.
I always greet my two cats when I return home from work. I talk to them; pet them; one of them waits for me to pat my bed for her to come up while I am changing out of work clothes. They both know that it will take about a half hour for me to put everything away from my day before they can eat. At other times if they need food they each have very different ways of letting me know but they are patient when I come home from work.
As to loud sounds, when I drop something in the kitchen sink, they start to run, but as soon as I say quietly "Sorry, it's okay" they literally turn around and return to me.
One of my cats meows when drinking water in the kitchen and I am not in the same room. I always call out and ask if she is alright and go to check on her. She comes to me and there is absolutely nothing wrong.
