Cats make your life better
Absolutely 😻💘
🐾💞
I agree
"looks over to my 🐈⬛ of 10 years+"
😘
Animals in general do, every single one in their own special way.
It's almost like cats know when someone isn't a cat person and they make it their life's mission to charm those people and capture their hearts.
My brother and his wife both have their own cats. Gulliver, my bro's anxiety attack therapy cat, is a lover boy. Aspen, his wife's tabby, on the other hand, basically hates everyone except for her. Aspen tolerates my brother, even.
Well, when we were up in Seattle after being there for the wedding, I ended up staying a lil longer with my dad and his own husband. That man HATES cats. We honestly don't fully know why, I think it's mostly that he just isn't a fan of their more unpredictable natures (which is fair tbh. If you don't know their body language then you would probably think they just suddenly lash out lol). This guy did everything he could to interact with the cats when we visited their apartment.
And, of course. Guess who Aspen, the cat who is known to despise everyone but her owner, decided was actually worthy of her curiosity and time?
Take the wildest fucking guess.
It was hilarious to see this cat, who we had sorta been warned about, climb up to and lean in to sniff and inspect the one person there who DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM.
The guy has sorta warmed up to cats since then, even if only slightly, but that moment is still absolutely hilarious to all of us because Aspen had apparently NEVER done that before.
Ive heard that more solitary cats often gravitate toward the people who "dislike" them because those people tend to give the cats space, which the cats think is respectful lol.
They create more subjects to serve them.
Very adapt at turning on the warm fuzzy when needed.
My 2 rescue boys are the soppiest, sweetest cats that 99.9% of people who’ve met them adore. Apart from one of my old school friends who remains scared of cats. I moved back to the area nearly 9 years ago & despite their best efforts she still keeps clear of them! This hadn’t deterred them though, every time my friend is at mine my boys do their best “aren’t we lovely, please be our friend” routine but from a respectful distance ❤️❤
Cats out there like "I can fix him 💅"
The kitten delivery system never fails. 👍
I've experienced the kitten delivery service many times. I just didn't know it had a name. Last time it brought me a grown up starving feral girl. But she chose me and now she's my baby.
No, sadly millions died on the street alone!! 😭💔
@VNn2023 Don't you have a kids party to terrorize or something like that? Go away.
I wish the cat delivery system would pick ME =( At least I can feed the couple strays that chill on my block from time to time. They're SO incredibly hard to catch tho, the other day I tried to catch one because I felt so bad that it was really cold out and kinda raining. It looked like it was looking for food but was scared to come near me so I just left food there for it
@HalaMadridNY Always the animal shelter, streets are nice and some are aloof, but some warm up very quickly to socialization! When i was at a shelter, we had cats go from aloof to 'unsavable' cuddling, pawing at the door, and playing and nuzzling and clinging onto people with their claws like little hostage takers. IN just 1 week of quality socialization! on the flip end, we've seen some cats completely turn off their hearts in just 1 bad week of negative experiences. They can be so sweet, or close their hearts, good experiences/socialization matters!
my dad hated cats too, but ever since he brought home one stray tiny kitten, also planning on just keeping for a week, became a lifetime. The cat eventually passed away after 12 years, but now my dad is a cat person, and has another cat now. Something magical about cats lol
😊😊
It's like the toxoplasma have evolved to make us fall in love with these cats faster than before 😆
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ahh yr dad is kind. Better than mine that keeps taking ppl's junks. Like junks dun reciprocate feelings
How sweet ❤
I think most people who say they hate cats maybe never had one before (or had close exposure to one before)... what they really hate is the (erroneous) idea of cats
You dont choose cats, they choose you, you are very fortunate ❤❤
Sometimes, most times, they rescue us.
@chriskelly6559 amen to that 🙏
🎯😘🤜🏼🤛🏼👏🏼💯👏🏼💯🔥🔥🔥
Totally true. Wife and I went to the local shelter to look at certain cats, came out each time with completely different cats. Good news, the ones we were originally looking for got adopted right after each time.
And Blessed in every way , shape and from.
Another successful delivery from the cat distribution system.
Those tiny meows have a way of melting, even, the most frozen of hearts
😻🫠🩵
My dog's eyes can do that too🐶
So very true ❤❤❤❤❤ 5:12
It is pretty hard to resist a small kitten in need. They use every bit of cuteness they have to draw you in.
Sybau
That’s actually true! Like, scientifically! The sound of a cat meowing has a similar pitch to a baby’s cry. Humans have evolved to recognize the sound of babies crying because it’s a survival instinct. Like, you ever hear a baby crying on a plane or bus and realize just how hard it is to ignore it? It is literally harder for us to ignore.
Cats realized their meowing has a similar effect on humans. And so they learned to meow to get our attention. They only really do this with humans. Adult cats rarely, if ever, meow at each other. But they do meow at humans when they want our attention.
Most people don't think they are a "cat person," UNTIL a cat selects them. We all have the potential. It's like saying that you don't like cake if you've never tasted one. Of course you'll like cake!!!
Same with children
Exactly! Excellent simile 🙂
I WAS THINKING THIS
You have people that lives cats and then those that don't deserve cats
Or a Krabby Patty.
The way her voice broke when she spoke about Lilly. Makes me think about my dogs, and one day I will also go through this.
Damn you caught that too ❤❤❤❤🫂
The pain of losing an animal is just a drop in a bucket, compared to how much joy they have given before. Letting go is hard, but it’s our last duty. And new animal will help us heal, there is no such thing as replacing, they are individuals and cant be replaced. I’ll wish you strength when it’s your time, youll know when youre there.
And they will have lived their best lives with you. They are blessed to have had you.
Same....
@janemiettinen5176Very well said
Lily is letting you know its ok to love again.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥹
RIP Lilly. You can tell she was a sweet dog.
❤❤❤
Nothing is more attractive than a manly man who loves animals.
So true!🥰
Why, thank you! 😇 I've had 25 of them!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
OMG yes! Would never be with a man who didn't like all animals!
@JeffKopis pathetic simp
My dad was like that… he hated cats… barn cats were one thing…. They were a "working cat." They kept the mice and rats and other rodents at bay but they were all feral…. Then I found a little white Siamese kitten on the road that was barely a month old if that… I brought her home and bottle fed her all the while my dad kept saying as soon as she’s weaned she’s out of the house and into the barn… one day when I came in the house I caught him on the couch with Casey, the kitten I brought home… he was laying here with her on his chest scratching her and talking to her… I went over to pick her up and he smacked my hand away… "my cat," he says to me… and yep, that is exactly what she was… she was dad's kitty until the day she passed 20 years later… the only time I have ever seen him cry was the day we buried her out under our giant maple tree … RIP Casey….
Thank you for sharing your story. Bless Casey to the angels and god. She will have an another great life in heaven..
Sooooo sad but bittersweet
I am so sorry about Casey but so happy she lived a long and happy life. I'm sure she was loved and adored as much as she could have been.
Did your dad or family get another kitty after? Of course, sometimes it is too hard to welcome another cat into the family after a big loss like that.
@Ga1axy_Shad we had a lot of barn cats but After Casey Passed, they never had another cat in the house… dad just couldn’t bring himself to let another one come inside… he did shower those barn cats with lots of pets and scratches though… he made sure they had food and even made little "houses" for them inside the barn so they would have a warm place to sleep in the winter… Casey changed his mind about cats… she did what she was sent to do :) he still talks about her to this day and she's been gone for more than 20 years… most of the kitties that were in the barn were feral but there was a litter that had been born that he socialized…. I thought it was funny because of how he had always acted towards the "working" cats… but Casey Changed him and after she died he really missed her and the company… so when mittens had her last litter, dad was determined he was going to be able to pet and hold those kittens… Mittens was NOT thrilled about it to either… she moved them three times … I guess she finally gave up after the third time… dad took wet food out to the kittens and would pick them up and hold and pet them… as they grew a couple would follow him around when he'd go out in the barn… he loved those kitties too… cats have a way of changing people… I’m glad I found Casey when I was 12 years old out on that road as I was walking up to my grandparents place… she's the reason my dad changed and it was a change for the better,,,,
Rest in peace Casey
Ah the distribution system strikes again.
Kittenhood flies by so fast. Having a cat ‘kid’ is fun.
That cat is 3 weeks old. They don't open their eyes until the second week. They begin to run in the 3rd and 4th week. A tiny baby still.
Yes, definitely not a week old.
JamesSmith-od8wd I guess you are a romance scammer? I am correct!!
I thought more about 4 or 5 weeks old
Something I said when this was last posted is something I still believe: their dearly departed dog sent their kitty to them!
I believe so, too.
This litte kitty transformed this man into a lover of cats!! It's a hard thing to do, but some men DO Come Around and It's not just men, Women are the same!! So it goes both ways!! Let's ALL Love Each Other!!❤😊❤😊!!
My husband was a confirmed cat disliker. The first night (13 years ago) the little stray kitten I found next door climbed up onto his shoulder, snuggled under his chin and fell asleep. Now, it’s “we have to turn the heat up, the kids are cold” or “we can’t be gone overnight, the kids will be scared”. I’ve always loved cats, so this is hilarious to witness. ❤
@deb_ellen9733 This reply is completely awesome!! You have made my day!! Thank You, Deb Ellen!! I'm so glad that everything worked out 😀😀
@janetmarshall7171 I was off work the day I found her. When he got home, I hid her behind my back, said “we have a situation” and showed her to him. THATS A CAT!!! no, technically, it’s a kitten. IT CAN ONLY STAY UNTIL WE FIND WHO IT BELONGS TO!! 🤣🤣
In Jesus' mighty Name I second this prayer, and amen!
Amen!
In Jesus' mighty, holy Name I second this prayer, and amen!
Amen! @DavidGreg-mc2lv
The last story is so true!!! Raising kittens IS motherhood.
Omg! 1:32 Him with the bottle 🍼🥹🥰
🤣 lil kung fu paws 🐾 🥷🏼
It's Lilly in cat form. ❤❤❤❤
❤THANKS❤FOR❤SAVING❤THIS❤LITTLE ❤ONE❤
My third cat, Manny, as a kitten, loved to watch a toilet flushing. To see your cat like that brought a chuckle.
JamesSmith-od8wd I don’t understand your question.
@lisanidog8178 Don't worry about "understanding the question".. it's a romance scammer from a non-English country.
@lyndachasson6527 ohhhhh.
@lyndachasson6527 ohhhh.
mines does that too lol
That’s what I told myself before. I’m not keeping this kitten. 10 years later, she is still with me. 😂😂😂
Your cat was like: You sure about that, human?
i have three cats, i wanted to only have one. the 3 cats are still with me
Cats! One of life's best God given gifts.
Amen!
My sentiments exactly.
Kitty distribution system works PURRfectly 🤣🤣
I think there are many cat (or dog) moms and/or dads who recognize that they saved each other and that makes the relationship so much more special.
News: Mat is not yours. You are HIS hoomans.
Those barn cats are gifts from your Dad. You are their fur-ever family.
Bean chose her person. Pinto chose Bean as his 'sister,' & ya'll as his fur-ever family.
Kit is a perfect case of foster fail, thank GOD! Mother & kit are doing well.
No such thing as a foster fail, just an unexpected forever home.
You know you're special if a cat chooses you! ❤😻❤😻
We fostered two kittens that age. They are so sweet and loving!!
Cats have a way, especially kittens, of burrowing into hearts and souls. I never liked cats until I was a kennel cleaner in 1979. I fell in love with the kennel cat, a Siamese and a black cat. The next year I got my first cat. I’m now on cats 4 and 5 a brother sister litter mate team. And who bought me my first cat? Mom! She hated cats but loved mine because she was mine. I went only a year without a cat and it was awful! My late third cat helped to raise my late Chihuahua girl and when she passed at 16 having to be put to sleep because she was incurably I’ll from age, my previous cat became depressed. I helped him through it and he helped me. He passed on my lap at 19 years old.
Great to have had the experience to love all those wonderful cats!
Clearly Lilly contacted the cat distribution system and put in an order that was promptly delivered.❤❤
Lilly sent him to you to comfort you both that's what I believe.
My father loved cats
Everyone can become a cat person if they find the right cat
Big buff guy and such a softie with a big heart...I ❤ it!!!!
Happy Tabby Thursday to everyone. A Tabby is always your best friend 😁😸🌷
the kitten distribution network is never wrong
Sometimes our pets find us... ♡
Lily's memory will live on through Mat. That cats going to live the great life, that every house animal deserves to be treated. ❤🙌
The kitten trying to throw hands during breakfast and her saying “youre being a jerk” killed me hahahahahaha. Seeing her husband baby the kitten is very wholesome 🎉
I just want a kitten yow
1:33 he’s so cute slapping that hand away 🤣🤣 the CUTEST little jerk I’ve ever seen 🥰😍
Cats are so great
Honestly, it breaks my heart how Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers isn’t getting the attention it deserves. This book changed me. People need to wake up to this.
I just had this feeling that LILY sent Mat to you guys! She is and always will be watching over you wonderful souls. Know this like Lily and all the animals who have passed will be waiting for their owners at the bridge
Its always "I'm not a cat person" and everyone just agree that they are, in fact, a future catmom.
It is not called a ''cat mom'' nor a ''cat dad'' or whatever animal it might be, people are not ''mom, dad, sister, brother'' and all that nonsense to any animal. People are people and animals are animals, they are not relatives to each other smh.
Get help.
@Vero2yu you okay man
@saenekokun2723 A female can not be a ''male, man'' so stay on topic. Why do you not respect animals, can you answer?
@saenekokun2723 My comment is about respecting animals as the Animals that they are.
@Vero2yu I think you need to relax a bit and make some research about figure of speech. And also, I think you need to mind your own business instead of being rude on somebody's comment about love. You are the bitter one who should get help.
Lily knew did you guys were broken hearted when she had to leave you?
So she brought this baby to you to mend your hearts so God bless you both for pain attention.
My prayers are with you always for being so kind.❤❤❤❤😅😅
Many cats won't even play with big toys, so that's special right there.
At 2:23 Lily went right by her husband and kitten, a orb flew right 🙏🏼that was Lily
You do know it’s proven that orbs are things close to the camera that’s out of its focus…. Like dust and bugs. Look it up. The orb thing has been disproven for a very long time.
@ErrorlVlacrodon’t ruin the moment :/
@EvnekHatesSchoolLOLwhat moment
Cats leave paw prints on your heart.❤ 🐾🐾
ALL foster fails. Love it! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Observations: 1) it’s the beard. Kittens love that furry face. Reminds them of mother. 2) Good God look at the arms on that dude.
Lilly knew what you needed.
People are always "not a cat person" until they meet a real kitten/cat who needs a good home and suddenly they're cat parent of the year
Lily had the biggest eyes, rest in peace little dog, your spirit lives on.....
A week old kitten is not able to run! They don't even have their eyes open yet! That kitten is at least, 5-6 weeks old.
That was so awkward I love it 😂 6:04
My husband brought home the tiniest ball of black fur one time. That ball of fur grew up and lived with us almost 20 years. We even sent him home from Hawaii. My FIL agree to keep him for us until we got home. Delayed so husband could outprocess from the Army after 20 years. We finally made it home and I didn’t think we’d get our cat out of the clutches of my “don’t like cats” in-laws. They finally broke down and bought a new side by side refrigerator. Dad would start frying bacon. Sushi would get up on top of the refrigerator and watch the bacon meet its final ending. Dad would take a strip of bacon, break it up, put it on a paper towel and serve it up to the black furry prince ruling their house and lives!
"It started out with me saving her, but Oh my God did she save me!" Amen Sister! :) I could not live without animals. I never sought them out, they just find me. I have been blessed like that! :)
Gotta love these foster failures
I absofrigginlutely LOVE when non cat ppl are chosen by the distribution system and get to see how awesome cats really are.
Kitty magic! Weaseling their way into our hearts one cute kitty antic at a time! 💕
Lilly sent you an angel kitten!! ❤😊
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Congratulations, cat dad.
So, U R not a cat guy, RIGHT. Little kitten stole your heart.
New pets aren't meant to replace the old ones. They're there in the spirit of your lost one to give you the love and affection you've lost.
As a "cat person" I do LOVE seeing dog people seeing what wonderful beings cats are and they fall in love with them. ♥
They capture your heart, whether you want it or not, and they have a way of both asking for help and giving love!
"Saving one animal won't change the world, but it will change the world for that one animal." ❤🐶🦊❤
0:30 "I wasn't a cat person at all before," LOL
🙂😁😉
11:55 cats are so cute
I'm a guy who's always had a cat in his life from an early age. I'm 64 now and couldn't imagine not having at least 1 at any time. It takes a little time to understand a cat. But when they accept you and trust you it's over. They're highly intelligent and majestic creatures. I'll always love cats.❤
This lady is fabulous 11:08 God bless you for taking care of this sweet cat who stole your heart. Of course you fell in love w/her, you’re her mommy..
Seeing a grown man kissing a cat is just next level cute.
I fell the same wY after I lost my dog I found a kitten. Oh boy I've always loved cats and dogs. But raising them from babies is a heart grabbing experience. GOOD LUCK GREAT PEOPLE. YOU ARE WONDERFUL
The little guy didn't turn him into a car person, it just showed him he already was one.
Dont tell anyone,shhh. Such cute kitties make my cry happy tears😂❤😊
I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your dog. Thank you both for caring for this little kitten ❤
The cutest of kitties!
love when a non cat person gets changed into a cat person. cant understand how they do not like them in the first place , i loved all animals from childhood, but it melts my heart the cats bring out the love ...
Cat distribution mechanism working properly.
7:06 muchaaaachooooos ♪
It's like I always say...people who don't like cats have never been loved by one 😻
I love cats. Thanks for rescuing this little angel 😇
You see, nothing more is needed than a fluffy, sweet, tiny animal that shows you love and affection.
Thank you for all your kind help.
Mat was Lily's gift to you. She knew she had not much time left.
Bless all the babies featured in this video and all who loved, rescued, and nurtured them to life and health ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hope he will be with you until the end, with love, patience and joy
You can dislike people but not an animal
Lilly loved you guys and I know that she would want you to love that little baby cat. She adorable.
Lilly was a daddy's girl...❤❤❤
Awesome rescue, the little guy chose a good home
Sometimes, When im ready to give up in life i just look over at my sweet gato and he gives me the strength to keep going. Knowing his life depends on mine is such a huge motivating factor for me to keep going no matter how hard things get. He depends on me to be my best and i dont have the heart to let him down ❤
A week old cat cannot run around and still has its eyes clossed.
1:11😂
Then the cat looks at the camera with a "you got that right?" look on his face.
Your interaction with this kitty, which plucked at your heart strings sufficiently to adopt him into your home, indicates that you are a true Mensch.
Oh Bless you people for taking him in.
Cats are just amazing creatures. I had 2 great cats in my life, 20 years apart and I’m ready for another one. I’m so lonely.
The lady that had a million pics in her phone of the cat doing very similar things in each photo- is true love lol she’s obsessed and I love that
Nothing makes my day better, than looking at an incredibly handsome men, that are not cat lovers, turn into one......Thank you to all the couples for being as beautiful on the inside, as you are on the outside 💗💗💗
