I have had my cat, Sweetie, totally black velvet since 4 months old and she is now 17.5. We are devoted to each other. She protects me and talks to me says "Ma ma". She knows 10 words and sits on command and is very loving. I will not get another like her.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing that about your family's history - a great reminder that we all come from such interesting places. Sending a million blessings your way!
many years ago we had a problem with mice .My granny hoped the cat would rid us off them . One summers day i looked out the bedroom window .Our cat was asleep in the garden .Then I saw a mouse walk right in front of the cat .Right I thought ,nor for the action .The cat suddenly woke ..........then turned over and went back to sleep in the lovely sun .
Dear Kate, I love your channel. Thank you so much for sharing all these wonderful insights from the Irish culture. I am Mexican-American, and my grandmother on my mother’s side was from Irish descent, so I am very interested to learn more about this wonderful culture. I am also a cat lover. My Daphne (a lovely muted calico with ice blue eyes), recently passed away, and she taught me so much! She was such a dignified little creature, so loving and loyal. And so true to herself. Those are some of the things I learnt from her. Once, when I was very sick, she caught a bird and brought it to me, I think she wanted me to eat so I could regain my strength. Although I felt sad for the bird, I felt grateful to Daphne for taking care of me. I think it is amazing how much alike we are to other creatures of nature and how much we can share, enjoy and care for each other.
Alicia, I love hearing about Daphne who does indeed sound like a wise and loving creature and who clearly blessed your life as you blessed hers. I am sorry for your loss of her recently. I know how hard that is (I said goodbye to my beloved Mish in March after 17 wonderful years). And I'm so glad that you are learning more about your Irish heritage. There are treasures waiting for you! Thank you so much for your kind words, too! ❤
Kate! So very happy to meet you tonight. My mind is overwhelmed after a trip back “home” to see my family. Everything is different in that outside world that was once “home.” I’m grateful to have you with me tonight as I start out on a new path
Love your video. Great thing about here in Ireland is status in life is irrelevant . You can be a bin man and have the same standing as a top surgeon . I have personally witnessed this to be true. Another words everyone is equal which is Jass !
Jass is right: an rud is fearr!!! Thank you so much for kind words from beautiful Donegal where the cats are actually the wisest anywhere and they have permission to look not just at the king but at EVERYONE - and they do :)
Thank you, I really loved this. I also have two kittens that have come to join me in life recently. They certainly stay true to their nature haha May these little boys and you bring so much joy and fun to each other.
Thank you so much! My sweet little boys are getting more affectionate and bolder every day, and I adore them. I love knowing that you have two little kittens, too, and that we are experiencing this sweetness in parallel. May you all flourish!
Thank you also@@katechadbournebard I am happy to hear the affection is growing between all of you. May the road/ path ahead be blessed and filled with joy, playfulness and creativity, may the wind be at your back carrying you and your loved ones gently though life. These kittens are truly are soul friends and family. They teach so much and love deeply, my life is altered in the best way with the girls (they are sisters). I only just found your beautiful story telling & sharing and I am very appreciative as I missed out on learning about my Irish heritage this comforts me so much and I am learning gratefully. Your lovely face reminds me of my aunty that is a comfort also while I listen. 🤗🌞😻
@@georgetteglennon7980 I’m so grateful for your very kind words and happy that you, a fellow cat lover and story appreciator, are here with us. I’m honored to my boots to remind you of your Irish aunty. That makes my whole WEEK! PS Kittens sat in my lap for 10 minutes today- together. I nearly exploded with joy! 🐈🐈❤️❤️
Hi, Kate! I'm new to your channel and so very happy to have found you! I have cats and dearly love them all. My oldest son's cat sounds like she tries to talk. She's black with big eyes that make her look like she is always surprised. I'm pretty sure that we heard her say "no way" one time. LOL🐈⬛
😹😅I have a beautiful black cat called Elsa.She must of had a terrable kittenhood as she is so nervous.A real scardy cat,bless her paws.It took four long patient years for her to sit on my knee.No way can I pick her up for a cuddle.I know she is meant to be with me.Your Kittens will have such blessed kittenhood with you Kate and grow up to be happy,contented and confident cats.Love this serene channel.🤗😹🌟💗xx
You, my friend, are a true cat-whisper and an angel to Elsa. She was blessed and lucky to land on her four paws with someone as loving and patient as you! Filly and Failte and I all send a joyful meow to you and Elsa, and we are grateful for your very kind and PURR-fect words!
Go hiontach as always Ms. Kate (& love the phrase *truer* *than* *training!* :) My only experience with a cat was many years ago when I moved into an apartment where one had been left behind by the previous occupants -- she was very guarded and wary but eventually realized she was valued and I have fond memories of her sleeping on my chest. The most miraculous thing about her was that she could speak my name & my roommate's name -- other people did not believe this until one Christmas a friend took care of her while I was out of town and when I returned he said he had become a believer since the cat called him by his name too ❤
That is such a great story - and what an honor to have a cat say your name! Have you by chance seen the videos going round called "Cat Possible?" They show cats doing wild, seemingly impossible things that will make your jaw drop. I'm in awe of these creatures (and of course already madly in love with the kitten boys). Thank you so much for your kindness, a chara dhil. So glad "truer than training" resonates
Galánta! Go raibh maith agat. 😺✨ Cinnte, mar is eol duit féin, deir Dlíthe na mBreithiúna nach mbeidh aon chúiteamh le híoc agat as damáistí a dhéanann cat, agus an cat ag seilg.
Saoirse a chara, go raibh maith agat as seo - AGUS fuair mé an cupán tae blasta a thug tú liom ar maidin: go raibh míle míle maith agat!!! Tá mé díreach i ndiaidh cóip de do dhialann bhuan a cheannach ar line agus tá mé ag súil go mór leis, go háirithe ar an chnuasach seanfhocail. Is iomaí bua atá agat, a chara!
@@katechadbournebard Ná habair é agus go raibh míle maith agatsa. tá go leor buanna agat féin. bain sult as do chupán tae agus an dialann! Beannachtaí geala ort, a mo chara nua. 😃💖✨
"Pangur, white Pangur, how happy we are alone together...scholar and cat." A Monk and His Cat is one of my favorite cat songs from the Hermit Songs by Samuel Barber. It's Auden's translation of Pangur Ban. Reading with my cats cuddled on and around me is one of my favorite ways to spend time. One of my cats, Squarcialupi, embodies "Tá cead ag an chat amharc ar an rí. " He bows to no one.
I've had some dear cat friends over the years. One that stands out was bequeathed to me. Her name was Gemma. She was already getting on but nonetheless she'd sit at the front gate and "psych out" passing dogs. The funniest was a big guy with a big dog from up the road. Gemma would sit and stare calmly at the rottweiler who would Absolutely Not walk along the footpath only passing with a wide berth out onto the road. Much to the man's chagrin. This to me is about standing calmly in one's own power regardless of what confronts. This goes along with creating from one's own integrity which will be recognised and respected. I love the feline, slightly dark, sense of humour. Purring I believe to be healing. I'm certainly very comforted when a feline friend is purring on my lap. I'd say your two are of the Sichat type, having been born on such an auspicious day. 🍀🙏🍀
Gemma sounds marvelous and thank you for telling us about her. And talk about "the cat has permission to look at the king." More like, "the cat has permission to look at whoever she likes - including the rottweiler." :) I agree with you about purring being healing. My two tiny kittens are able to generate quite a mighty purring between them that broadcasts a message of "all is well" that is helping the three of us create a loving bond. I love that you put them in the "Sichat" category, and I think you are entirely correct!
“Standing calmly in one’s own power…” thank you for those words. I shall surely remember and practice this tomorrow as my boss is going to be very confrontational over a ten minute misunderstanding. Truly thank you.
I also find purring very healing! Sometimes when I am anxious my cat Tabby (a tortoiseshell) will come and lie down on my belly. Just feeling her purring and her breathing helps me calm down and feel better.
Rey, my tuxedo cat, is a gentleman. He has dignity, integrity, and sees, but does not comment on, my many ungentlewomanly habits. He appreciates my petting and massages, but does not beg for them. He is undone, however if a bird lights on a branch outside a nearby window, chattering with soft stutters, but when it flies away, he gives a leg a few quick licks, and once again resumes a dignified pose. I have learned patient attention and how to live in the moment from him.
Hats off to Rey, your lovely gentleman, and all he has taught you from the Cat's Handbook for Dignified and Elegant Comportment. Thank you for introducing him to us here. I'm officially a fan - and my decidedly undignified kittens say hello to Uncle Rey!
This will put a smile on your face! Roy Rodgers received a new pair of patent leather, gold inlaid diamond studded spur boots for his birthday He was so proud of them that he kept lovingly shining them with a soft yellow cloth well into the night . Time to sleep so he placed them on top of his chest of drawers. His cat sneaked in when Roy's snoring left him with loads of freedom to frolic. The furry sneaker found the boots to be a great new play toy for chasing his mirrored image around the reflection of the patent leather. The more he chased the image the wilder he got and scratched the daylights out of those boots until the shine had vanished. Picture Roy's face the next morning! Purple blending in with extreme rage and language to make a sailor blush. Enter Roy's petit and tiny sweet little wife offering her solace: Pardon me Roy, did the catkin chew your new, new shoe!
Hello, just found your videos, how fantastic! I'm learning Geilge at the moment. We are preparing to live in Ireland in 2027! I'm looking for the book: Inniu an Luan. Even the second hands are sold out. Has anyone have a copy for sale?
Thank you, and how exciting about your move to Ireland! I suspect you may find a copy of Inniu an Luan in an Irish bookstore in some very magical way... When you do, I hope you'll write and share the story with us here!

Mike, I think they are both under the impression that they already ARE. :)

Those are such beautiful places. When I lived in Derry, it was a great treat to go to Greencastle for a seafood supper. :)
