I was laughing so much when she said “He’s smarter than you two, and you guys can see!”
I think they just let him find the treats XD
she was sight-shaming them 😂
klee
I have no idea what sight has to do with intelligence.
@@xxx-ie9ic As a visually impaired person. Yes. Thank you!
He’s so lucky to have such a sweet and loving mom who doesn’t give up on him
right! very lucky
Humans r lucky to have cats bring delight into their lives.
@@Time_to_Stop_Animal_Cruelty Spoken like a true cat.
Seriously! Awesome mom!
Yeah I wish I had that
I adopted a "discount" kitty from a local humane society. He was adopted and returned 4 times by other families before I found him and fell in love. He was so discounted that they called him a "name your price" cat, they anticipated that he would be brought back again. Because he bit. He still bites but he's also the biggest love bug. It took a lot to earn his trust.
There are cats where I work. One of them became friendly real quickly after I fed her. She was fixed and clearly someone had contact with her before. An older male tabby took up living in the same spot but didn't want anything to do with humans. Until he saw me petting the other cat. I started petting him as well but he didn't understand it at first and bit me after a few seconds so I would stop petting him at that time. We would do this over a few weeks until he slowly lost the aggression and fear. His fur is easily matted so sometimes it's him telling me it's a sore spot. He will nip at me occasionally still but it's not him being mean. I would take them home but I already have too many cats but at least he gets fed.
I have a female 3yr old cat that sounds just like yours. She has a hairline boundary between cuddle time and WAR! I thought I was good at reading cats before I got her but now I notice micro signals in her behaviour to keep my hands safe! :D
but once I figured her out it is really not a problem, I just have to respect her boundaries and make sure I am aware enough to spot the cues! :D
if you are petting your cat and they "suddenly start biting" you, PLAY WITH YOUR CAT! petting = stimulation.
@@estibon3872 my cats bite for amusement. They hate me because I feed them.
All cats do what I call “love bites” I’m guessing a lot of people don’t know about it or research enough.
Sometimes it’s playful and sometimes it’s “right I’ve had enough pets now”
You can tell the difference between how much pressure they put into the bite but the body language is a dead give away. Tail wags more rapid, ears start going back….
You and Ivar saved us when my precious boy went blind from cancer! He lived a year after his diagnosis! We followed your advice and never moved anything! We loved him more! For the way he fought! Thank you Ivar!
I have a mute cat too. He opens his mouth and makes the meow movement but nothing comes out, ever...
Thanks for sharing.
Awwww little man!
Dude that’s frickin sad 😢
i have been told that most true ferel born in wild cats do not meow i have one that does like urz for 14 years never made a peep except howling at vet the other day .
brewcrew I have 4 cats- they’re ‘Highlanders’- only one of them meows and they all depend on him for his begging efforts 😆 we took our little girl (Miss Pearl) to the vet the other day and out of nowhere she had a voice- it was weird as we had never heard her use it
I had a blind cat for 20 years now. She lost her eyesight before she was one year old.
The vet had to completely remove both eyes since they were too damaged. So no eyedrops, at least. Good thing about her was, she's the least aggressive cat I've ever seen. She never willingly hurt me and barely ever hissed at me in those 20 years. The biggest challenge was that she desperately wanted to go outside, so we needed to put her on a leash and secure the fences so she couldn't get lost, but she regularly got tangled up or escaped anyway and you constantly had to look after her. She climbed on absolutely everything.
Nowadays, she's very old, so on the rare occassions she wants to go outside, she won't go far, so no more leash is needed. She needs more attention now, especially since her hearing got bad, but she's still in a good shape considering her age. We were really nervous about taking her, back in the day, but I don't want to live in a universe where we didn't do it.
I also had two male cats that were taken way too early from their mothers. The first one was extremely aggressive and brutal, the second one was scared of everything. Both of them died at 12-13 years. They made their own lives a lot more stressful than it needed to be, and they were much more of a struggle.
It's the lack of socialisation and messed-up behavior that is the real challenge. It makes everything harder. Our blind cat certainly demanded a lot of patience and inventiveness on our part, but since she was so accepting and appreciative, we were able to face that challenge together. That made it quite manageable.
And God Bless You for coming through for them! God Bless them "and" you!
Oh my netherite. 20 years?! That is very old. It's great she is living so long. She's older than youtube lol
PLEASE AT LEAST KEEP HER LEASHED OR HARNESSED SO WHEN SHE PASSES AWAY IT CAN BE IN HOME AND EVEN IN YOUR ARMS...BUT UNLEASHED AND OLD SHE WILL ONE DAY RUN OFF WHEN SHES NEAR DEATH.
HOWEVER THAT SOMETIMES TAKES HOURS TO DAYS..A LOT CAN AND DOES HAPPEN IN THAT TIME AND ID JUST FEEL DOO MUCH PAIN INSIDE IF SHE TOOK OFF AND WASNT CLOSE ENOUGH TO PASSING AWAY AND WAS NOT ONLY IN THE WEATHER BUT SUBJECT TO ORHER ANIMALS..ESPECIALLY HUNGRY ONES...EVIL HUMANS OR STUPID OR MEAN KIDS...I SO PLEASE KEEP HER ON LEASH OR HARNESS WHEN OUTSIDE..KITTY THANX YOU..
People like you and the woman in this video are genuinely what I would call "angels living amongst us." Just like the woman in the video said, people ALWAYS want the "perfect" pet, while most domestic animals with ANY degree of a deformity, handicap, or disability are overlooked by a shockingly huge majority of people. That's amazing that your blind cat was actually far more gentle and social than the ones who can actually see...I swear in the majority of GeoPets and Dodo videos I have seen of blind cats, they almost seem to generally have this hyper-aggressive-reaction to them. It's sad most people see that aggressiveness and immediately deem the cat as "mean" and even irrational, where I view it with empathy and pity, because those cats feel SO vulnerable and exposed, that they have to lash out at WHATEVER motion, wind, and/or sound they feel or notice as a defensive mechanism, because have no sight to view and analyze the threat potential of whatever it is they notice.
And off-topic from our blind feline friends but still on topic with the other part of your comment, we found 2 LITTLE 4 week old kittens in our garage in July...there was an adult Calico that would hang out in the garage to an unnatural degree...it's a very shitty, dilapidated, leaking garage full of old, useless junk and creepy bugs with no insulation or real use, with a small spot cleared out for an old chair my dad sits on while he smokes his ciggy's out there. Anyways this Calico was clearly an adult, life-long stray (my neighborhood has been OVER RUN by strays for years upon years now), who had never let my dad pet it, yet was unusually calm and not frightened, defensive/aggressive when my dad was in there with the door shut...it just ran under some junk to hide anytime it appeared that my dad was walking towards it, but again, never hissed, nor showed any sign of aggression or defensiveness. Anyways that lasted for about a month, then one day we noticed at least half the strays just vanished...and the very NEXT day, from my dad's first smoke of this fateful July 14th to the end of the day, he heard kittens mewing. He didn't pay much attention during the day...the strays had some kittens about 2 months prior and would generally hang out across the street from our house, and he assumed it was those kittens till in the evening when he went out, and a kitten ACTUALLY made her way through the junk and approached him with VERY purposeful mews as if she was ACTUALLY looking for help (presumably its mother), and we KNEW it had to be young enough to not yet fear humans...and he saw another, smaller one that looked VERY visibly weak and lethargic that would peak out, but seemed to just stay in one place as long as his sister was within his line of sight - but once she approached our dad and she left his line of sight, he would just mew repetitively until she ran back to him, like she knew he was calling for her. Anyways because we put 2 and 2 together (the fact that half the strays were missing, the fact that they were mewing ALL day anytime they heard our dad AND actually approached him, and then me once he told me about them and I RAN outside with an unnatural excitement) and we realized some neighbor more than likely got fed up with the strays (reasonable considering all of them were anti-social and had no concept of yards, porches, and boundaries) and called animal control, and somehow their mom must have been picked up, because my dad finally realized that he hadn't seen that Calico in the garage for about 2 days, which was unusual. To make a VERY long story - yes, I could still go on and on and on - we took them in, had to syringe feed them kitty formula for a couple more weeks and now in January, they're thriving...neutered and spayed, and basically own our house. But the point of ALL this was to point out that this one thing they have always done AND continue to do when we pet or cuddle with them seemed unusual at first, but is apparently far more common in cats separated from mom too early, they would either suckle on our clothes, our couch if they were on it, blanket, or towel, in addition to kneading like normal. I mean luckily they're VERY well adapted otherwise and have no other issues with their personality or behavior!! Anyways I'm SOOO SORRY for excessively rambling on like a tweaker in my comment...cats have ALWAYS been my personally favorite pets and just pull at my emotions and I will always get awe-struck ANYTIME I start talking about them.
TOO LONG;DIDN'T READ FIRST PARAGRAPH: You and lady in video are actual, real-life angels who have no qualms about bringing home pets with "differences" that not only gets them passed over by unfortunately most people in most societies, but also would tend to result in their mothers rejecting them as well.
TOO LONG;DIDN'T READ THE REST: My dad found - but we BOTH adopted (well, because I still live with him) - 2 little 4-week old, underweight kittens in our garage after their mother was unfortunately picked up with many of the other strays, which means they were also separated from their mom prematurely. While they don't show any negative personality traits or behavioral problems as a result, they DO still instinctively have to suckle on ANYTHING soft when they're comfortable enough to start kneading. Why I cant just word things that way from the beginning is beyond me, even at 29 years old!!! Lordy Lordy Lordy
@@teresaeckhardt8954 WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING
People are too caught up with everything being perfect that they don’t give anything that isn’t perfect a chance. I’m glad that there some people out there willing to give these animals a chance.
At the same time, it's important that people know what they can handle. I mean, you couldn't really take a cat like time into a home with small children.
what are u talking about this cat is perfect oO
I adopted 2 cats that were abused by the other owners and were terrified :) they’re so funny and friendly now!
He's perfect for his mommy! That's what counts.
AnyONE not anything.
Can't blame him who knows what people did to him due to his disability, it's wonderful that you have him.
Just the fact you accept him as is and never angry even if he bites you is a Wonderful thing!! You are definitely his hero and he is yours!! God Bless you for taking care of him!!
I thought mine was getting arthritic, she was walking so odd, turns out she was going blind fast, and she bites me. Ha, ha, I'm no hero, I'm more like a coward, she was a street cat and has been in charge of me and the dog since she moved in, 10 years ago. Haven't seen the video yet, just your comment, I'm sure she's a wonderful owner!
@@TheKim369 well its probably just an natural reaction, getting touched when not expecting it. If they meant any harm they would scratch. And a little love bite from a cat is nothing compared to their claws 😂
Not to mention that if you can't see you need another way to locate and identify things. They can't use guide dogs or the sticks that we use so they have to resort to whiskers, grabbing, scent and hearing. The biting and grabbing is less likely aggressive and more trying to figure out what something is. It is possible though. You wouldn't know what sort of things are a threat as well if you were blind, compared to if you can see. It's sad people misinterpret these sorts of things and don't think about it. They both seem like great people. Wish I knew them personally.
If you have a pet, you get used to the bites 😂 the first time it hurts badly, the second time… still hurts. Third time you get used to it 😂
This lady is the epitome of what a perfect pet owner should be, accepting and loving her adopted baby no matter what. He is a gorgeous boy!
"It's all on his terms." Yes, yes, YES! My kitty cat has PTSD and lashes out a lot. But she's also loving and cuddly when she chooses to be. When you meet a cat with respect, they will give you so much back. This lady knows exactly how to respect a kitty.
My old cat must've been a lap cat of an old lady, but then faced something pretty dang bad apparently and was so aggressive that she would attack people that entered the room
(All of this wasn't told to me, just that absolutely no one wants to take her and they are running out of options and she was getting old)
Well
Patience, medicating her thyroid issue, letting us both figure out how to pet and cuddle her safely, without her snapping and attacking (she decided she'll just turn around and look away, so that I can pet her),
lots, and lots, and lots of trial
until she was very calm, rarely ever snapped, just a very sweet cuddly cat that you can't demand anything from, but you're so happy when she comes to you for something
Wishing the best for you and your cat
As moody as they can be, their love is the most rewarding thing there is.
This is how I made friends with an old, beaten-up cat no one else could touch. I just let her come to me and she was my sassy little friend forever after.
He was born old 😂😂😂… I love the love she gives… they were meant for each other! Love and light to them
Of course he is aggressive, poor baby can't see the world around him. And like his owner said who knows what he went through before :( he's so lucky to have an owner like her and she is lucky too because she gets the chance to love that adorably derpy face. Bless them both 💙
Where is the love? 🎵▶️
blind cats aren't always aggressive! i have a blind cat who was raised by some loving folks at a rescue from a week old. She is super sweet and cuddly and has never scratched me on purpose! (She DOES jump on things with her claws out bc she's not sure where she's gonna land and she's sliced me up a few times doing that, but that's different!)
@@kellycahill5133 oh by all means! What I meant by my comment was that it's understandable and acceptable that the cat in the video is aggressive because he is afraid of the world from not being able to see it. It's great that your cat feels safe enough to not have to be intentionally aggressive! Hopefully this kitty can also get to that point some day 🙂
@@Jessicaddy 🎶where is the love 🎵
Glad to meet someone else who recognises it, thanks for your comment 🥰
@@truffles365 I love it! 💕 I had that as my profile picture on fb, and it bugged me that no one noticed it, so I thought I’d say something to you; just in case no one else in the world “gets the picture” lol, I see you though ✊🏼😉
"Don't bite the hand that feeds you"
"You don't feed him! I feed him"
Lol
There’s something special to me about animals where you have to earn their trust. It feels so rewarding to have the shy or “aggressive” animal open up to you because you understood their needs. Ivar is just such a creature.
Wish I could say the same about people lol
It's basically the definition or appeal of tsundere. Just in cat format lol
That's so true couldn't have said it better.
That makes me cry for farmed animals .
I went to a shelter that had one cat that hated EVERYONE, other cats, the staff, visitors and I was literally the only one that got that cat to smell me and let me pet her whole body even after she was annoyed by a staff member for trying to socialise her through petting. She loved me and it shocked everyone, the staff and volunteers along with visitors were shocked meanwhile me..I was happy to have a cat that enjoyed my little company and let me pet her. 😂 The whole shelter called me the “cat whisperer” and as soon as I walked in the staff and volunteers would say “she’s (me) here and she’s going to be working her magic” there is literally no magic, I exist and the cats love me 😂 I always put it as ‘I have a cat at home and they probably smell her’ lol
Edit: grammar
He isn’t aggressive, he is protective of himself. He has a disability and does not trust anyone. But once he trusts you, look how amazing the bond will be. I personally love helping disabled cat, they are truly wonderful creatures. They are the sweetest and very thankful for the love you’d give ❤️
I actually love that this doesn't end with "and he became a huge cuddlebug!" Sometimes cats just have personality problems and they still deserve unconditional love and care
That's real love!
I've had a couple of mean cats. I agree with you 100%. They are worth it.
That's true. Some people think that some cat with aggressive personality will eventually become cuddly and sweet overtime. But when they don't then those people return them to the vet.
*couchthedodo* *cough*
But he sort of became a cuddlebug too because he sleeps in her bed but he definitely has lots of character.
Thank you to this lovely lady for giving a safe home to a probably traumatised vulnerable boy.
Ivar has to feel safe, he's just reacting exactly as you'd expect from a blind cat born with excellent protective equipment built in - teeth & scimitar claws.
Over time hopefully he'll feel safer & there'll be less swiping & more head rubs.
🤗🐈
“You don’t feed him, I feed him!” Momma for the win 😂 Ivar is perfectly imperfect.
Thank you for adopting Ivar! I can see you are meant for each other. I follow the same approach. I've adopted 3 cats in my time and each time i've gone to the animal shelter and asked for the cat they are finding hardest to home. The cat always has some sort of medical issue and I've adopted each one and never regretted a moment.
The thought of a cat being constantly overlooked in favour of others without issues just breaks my heart. I guess i've got a soft spot for the unwanted and the underdog (or undercat!)
God Bless you. You're a keeper.
Can i be your cat?
But tbh you are a great person.
You’re an amazing person 💜
Thank you for your compassion.
I'm so happy for this wonderful kitty. Every animal deserves a loving home, disability or no. Such a loving family and amazing kitty
She’s an angel for adopting him. Bless her.
My 21 year old cat has just gone blind. It's amazing how quickly she's adapted. It's just a bit sad when she bumps in to things. Bless her. I've made her lil steps so she can get on things so she still seems happy.
Our furball slowly went blind around that age too. He was able to orient in our small flat even then, bc everything stays it the same place in our home most of the time. At least furniture-wise. Dammit, I miss him.
My 11 year old guy has just recently started to go blind. I feel awful but am comforted to know that they can still manage alright without sight. I think the blindness is nearly complete and he’s slowly learning to navigate the place without sight.
If I saw her in a pet shop I'd buy her full price she's soon cute and is basically, ,my twin in cat form heheh3h3h
That's amazing that your cat is 21! That's ancient!
@@lexb1075 He definitely was ancient. My parents took him in as a stray 7 years before I was born. He pretty much accepted me as his kitten.
Bless you for loving Ivar ,JUST the way he is!! and taking him in and giving him the best ever home with other fuzzy friends!
They offered Ivar at a discount?!
I say he's priceless!
♥️
It's not really a discount on the cat, but the surgery/vaccination/registration that is being discounted. Shelter animals are all technically priceless.
@@Grimmwoldds ..its a joke.
SO GLAD you adopted this special guy. Bless you!
I love that you accept him for who he is. That’s the way we should adopt. People ask me all the time why I adopt special needs and seniors. My answer is the same as yours - these animals deserve a home with love just as much as any others do.
Glad, you adopted, that kitty. He is beautiful 💕😍.
He is purrfect just the way he is. Thank you for loving Ivar just the way he is & giving him an amazing life. You have a 🧡 of gold
Everyone: the cat is blind.
The cat: SILENCE HUMAN, I AM THIS CLOSE TO UNLOCKING THE SHARINGAN.
🤣 u mean beakyugan

He Is Fortunate To Have Someone As Empathic As You.........
Loving Too....Thanks For Adopting Ivar.
He is lucky to have you and you are blessed to have him. You are truly an angel for caring for him.
what a blessing when 2 beings come together like parts of a whole.
yess, Ivar's mom here defending him at any cost is what makes this video extra special to me. I wish all the happiness to Ivar and his family.
Ivar is amazing. He's such a strong personality too! And his shocked expression is hilarious. I have one cat who's blind from Cataracts, she has the beautiful glass marble looking eyes and another cat who is blind in one eye from a dog attack that caused blindness from a blood pressure spike. He has an enlarged pupil and what looks like frog spawn in his eye. He was just diagnosed with a neurological condition. These wee cats can be wonderful amazing companions, we just have to adapt to their environment. The importance of furniture in the same place, keeping pathways through the house clear etc. They give so much to us 💖💖
Ivar is lucky to have found such an amazing mommy!
That's true selfless love for an animal. Giving them a home even when they will never be a perfect pet.
He’s lucky to have you! People don’t realize that just like us it can take years to overcome the past. I have six cats, all of them were rescues, and years later I have seen positive changes take place. It takes time, patience and lots of love. Bless you!
This women is a angel! You cannot convince me otherwise. Truly accepting someone wether animal or human for who they are flaws and all is the most unselfish loving thing you can do. My cat I adopted is like this. He bites and sh*t's in my flower Potts but ya know what I'm no peach to live with. He's my family and family always sticks by each other. I wouldn't trade him for nothing in the world 💖 that is true unconditional love.
I got a "discount cat" two a couple of years back. No one wanted him, because he was sick. This was one of the best decisions of my life. EVERYONE on my street loved this cat so much. He was such a personality!
He's like: "I have the right to be grumpy if that's how I feel, I'm only human!"
Human: "Don’t bite the hand that feeds you."
Ivar: "You obviously have not read the owners manual."
Thank you for being so good to him
I think he can see some light, maybe some degree of shape, because his eyes dilate. My cat went blind from stress, the retina detached, her eyes dilate in light, but she is figuring things out with her whiskers.
what kind of stress??
It makes me so happy that Ivar found the perfect huan to care for and love him. I adopted a bonded pair of cats from a feral rescue and it was the best decision I ever made. Walter and Willow had been in foster care for nearly 6 years and had been passed over many times by potential adopters. I had recently lost my husband, who was a VERY large man, and he left a very large hole when he passed. I only intended to provide these 2 cats with a home together where they could live out their lives together and be safe and cared for. Cats are so independant and don't need humans, right? Well, they both bonded with me in the first few days - which they had not managed in their entire history of fostering! Cats can snese when someone is THEIR human, and it is magical when that connection happens! Congrats, Ivar, on landing in the perfect home!
Darwinsmom I'm so sorry to hear about your hubby. Hope you are doing alright. How lovely of you to give these two pussycats a loving home. Best wishes from Ireland.
@@Rosie-fj7yr What a lovely Irish name! The family who bought my great-Grandfather's farm in Co. Roscommon was named Graham, and we got to spend the night there in 2001 as they operate a Bed and Breakfast on the farm. I will love Ireland until my dying breath!
@@Darwinsmom Hi, thank you for your reply. Can I ask where about in this big world you live?
@@Rosie-fj7yr I live in Canada. My Grandfather, who was born in Co. Roscommon, in 1900, came to Newfoundland, our eastern-most province, as a young man, and his father came to Canada, settling near Clive, Alberta, in 1921. Newfoundland and Co. Roscommon are very similar!
@@Darwinsmom Wow! How lovely. My grandfather got the chance to immigrate to Toronto in the 1930's or 1940's but failed the fitness exam. Weak chest apparently. So I might have been a wee Canadian. LOL. Give Walter and Willow a big kiss from me. 😻😻
Beautiful. Thanks for loving this nice boy.
u rock 4 giving him a chance- reminds me of my jackie that I found on the streets half feral... very aggressive but he's chilled out over time and the one person he's always been pretty respectful to is me- his momma. follows me around everywhere in the exact same manner and gets VERY territorial when my boyfriends cat wants to sit with me lol.
I love him-the eyes, the teef, the floof, everything
What makes living creatures perfect: *Just being who they are*
He’s beautiful and so are you for taking him in and giving him a good life!
Aww that woman is blessed with a golden heart and acres of compassion
Thank you for being so good to Ivar, he is very lucky. I can't believe nearly 500 people gave a thumbs down, some people have no soul.
Thank you for being so considerate to think of him. He is perfect just the way he is.
The day the chair was moved must have broke his fragile confidence and made him more clingy.. however accidents happen.
I love people like this. I have a dog with an anxiety disorder. He can't be around anyone but me and my family. He's 16 and I've had him for 14 years. He bites out of fear and it's caused serious problems. Everyone I know thinks I'm stupid for keeping him. I won't sentence a dog to death because he's scared. We get one shot at life and I commend this lady for helping that cat have his time on earth.
Thank you so much for bringing this boy into your life and for telling his story!
Oh my goodness he's got an adorable look to his little face. Can he hear at all ? Cats are so smart. It takes a loving heart to rescue the special fur babies. Thank you for being that special person. ❤️
He can hear, he turns to her when she said his name
@@pissapocalypse Thank you. I wasn't sure. So glad he can. He's a sweet heart. Have a great day. 🌞
@@joyceprice6749 You're welcome. You have a great day too 💕
I believe she mentioned that Ivar might be mute since no one taught him how to be a cat and that might be it?
You are such a fine person. I hope you get many blessings in life. You deserve them honey
She's so special to him giving him his space and terms. In return he gives her all of his loves and feeling safe more than ever before
Ivar is the same as every cat I've ever known: it's always on their terms and we work around them. Thank you for taking in this blind cat. Being blind, I'm sure, keeps him on the defensive but with your love, he's softening up.
It says a lot about a society that rejects or does not accept disabled animals..or ppl for that matter😠🤨😠🤨
I found a baby squirrel that was hit by a car and blinded. I rehabilitated it for a month (Big nasty infected head round and dehydrated from the person I got him from) and he needed to have touch to calm down. He would either want to put his hand on you or have you put your hand on his back to calm down. I gave him to a really nice woman lofficial”/legal rehabilitator who brings him to schools to educate children. I get sick a lot so I wouldn’t be able to provide the care he needed but I’m glad I saved him. I definitely miss him because he was so sweet. I hope I did the right thing. I wanted to do the right thing because I also really wanted to keep him but it wasn’t for me to use him as a pet.
If someone doesn’t have the means to take car of them why pressure ppl to get them?
At the same time I heard from my wife recently that when she was trying to remove a turtle from the middle of the road someone intentionally ran it over right as they passed by. Full spectrum of people, from people who love animals, to people who regard them as things.
Disabled pets are hard to take care of. It wouldn’t be fair to the human or the animal to expect a person with a 9-5 job to properly take care of a disabled pet. Add on the financial aspect, and some people (no matter how good) have the means to take care of a disabled pet.
@@liggerstuxin1 it is very upsetting to me that some ppl just make their own selfish decisions about someone else whether it's person or animal..it's truly infuriating 🤨🤨😠😠
His hearing and sense of smell are elevated. Very sharp.
I freaking love this lady! She’s just awesome!
He is just like my Kitty Bell. I found her dumped on the side of the road. And she loves everyone as long as they are me.🤣 All others will be tolerated just don’t touch her. Only Daddy can pet her.
Ivar deserved a chance. I have a cat who has had nothing but love his whole life and is the meanest little jerk. We love him so much.
yep me too she was 3 weeks old when i got her had to feed her with an eye dropper every 3 hours for 2 weeks she cuddles up to me at night but if i try to pet or play with her it is all teeth and claws
You are a beautiful human being. That lil boy is priceless keep him close.
Ok, I think we should give Ivar a pass for not playing hide and seek...
He probably wouldn't have much trouble playing the game, if he so desired. He's just being a grouch and that's precious.
@@diamondmoon9496 He could sniff them out, or if his ears are especially good then try to hear them
He’s gorgeous! 🥰 Kudos to this woman giving him a second chance. It’s unfortunate that majority of animals in need don’t have the luck of coming across a person that is gentle and loving like this woman in the video. Wishing him a long, happy, healthy life ❤️
I had a grumpy kitty, and everything was on her terms too. She was a stray and learned to cuddle, but only when she wanted to! She lived to be 22 years! We all have a little grumpy in us, some just a little more than others. It warms my heart to see unwanted and unloved animals given a home and unconditional love. Thank you kind person! 💕
I have a cat that has been nearly blind since shortly after birth. We kept him because he was blind. He turned out to be one of the most amazing cats I have ever seen. This 19 pound cat now takes care of a little female kitten just like her mom would.
Breaks my heart. He is beautiful cat. Good people for taking him.
we had a blind kittie a while back, he lived until he was about 22? we don’t know for sure how old he was but he was an ancient cat. i love how him and ivar have the “you are the father” look permanently on their faves
He is perfect! I can’t believe people turned him away. He is adorable 🥰 thank you for providing a great home and family for him
He is adorable. Thank you for adopting him. You’re correct, animals like these are overlooked. I have a cat that was born outside. Her momma got killed and 2 out of the four kittens passed away because of starvation. My daughter took the only other kitten they found and two days later she saw another. They knew I was planning on adopting but took this kitten. He had a wild streak in the beginning that hasn’t completely. She isn’t a cuddly cat and will let you pet her on her terms. She has her times when she is real sweet. She also likes to attack your feet. But I love her and wouldn’t give her up. Thank you for taking this special fur baby home. Because she can’t see. I believe her world is scary. God Bless you.
I really like the fact the cat is unique and this helped in developing this one of a kind character and behaviour. Makes it so special!
He is so beautiful 😻 thank you have a very kind heart and thank you so much for adopted him . I am so happy to see him lives a great life ! ❤
Ooowww, babyyyy!!!! What a sweetheart, I can't believe they gave a "discount", this baby is awesome, every living being deserves love, they're worthy of love, he just needed someone to be patient with him and love him honestly, what a great living being~! ❤
I got a cat that was "on sale" too. I love her so much! I say her cost was just another positive thing about us becoming family!
This is a most beautiful thing, you are both so lucky to have each other to build this wonderful relationship & life. Thank you for letting me know stuff like this happens.
WE have a blind cat, he wasnt when he was younger and about a year or so ago he started to go out and get lost as he didnt know where he was. Bless him, he's a house cat now as we lost him to many times. He has the whole of the back garden and three stories to play in. He is such a little angel.
Cats should be kept indoors
Sweet cat and wonderful person who took him in to her home and life. There should be more like her. 🙂
Thank you so much for taking care of this blind animal. Easy to say for everyone but hard to do. You deserve a place in heaven insallah..
Poor abandod boy. You had never see the sunlight. But now you have a loved home & a loved heart. Dear Ivar: I wish you a lot of good & lucky catyears with your loving mommy. 🙂
Wonderful, tons of love to all cats and dogs no matter what their challenge is.
He looks like a cartoon character! His eyes make him too cute 🥰
Loved the story. Such great people on this channel. So patient and understanding. Love it.
Beautiful animal. Happy he was taken in by good people, very lucky cat.
the look on his face is so cute, I would have adopted him too. So cute.
i don’t think the blindness is what didn’t get him adopted, but his temperament, which is totally understandable
Yes. And it was just as well that people realised they couldn't cope with him and didn't adopt him. A lot of people would take him home and expect him to be all snuggly within a few days, and be horribly disappointed. This lady was in for the long haul, and she was the right one for him.
True. I had a neighboor who threw her cat out (wich landed on my garden, literally threw her) because she was a bit moody.
PS: We kept the cat because she didnt fight my dog (they're the same size) and got along well, and she, although keeps bitting us sometimes, calmed out a lot after having the company of another animal.
@@ABAO2009 that's cruel AND stupid. Did she think the cat couldn't find its way home from next door? I hate people sometimes.
I think his temperament has a lot to do with his blindness. Cats--and all creatures really--are very big on protecting themselves. His blindness makes him vulnerable. If he feels unsafe in any way, of course he is going to do something to defend himself. Even if he actually is not in an unsafe situation.
@@Jen-cc9xk To be honest Idk, she was a weird neighboor and after that we didnt speak to her again. Also, the cat had a litter, which the neighboor kept, so the cat lives with us and visits the kittens every day, and is thrown out after visiting sometimes
We all have our own reality and I'm so happy you helped him find his. He is very very happy and I'm so grateful that you found him. He is beautiful
You're a good person. Thank you for adopting this cat
The sad thing is that this reminds me of my childhood cat Balto. Ive had him for so long and only just now for the past couple years, been forming a very close bond. He actually knew how to open doors the bastard but he had gotten severe kidney stones and wasnt able to pee & so on, so we decided to put him down..
No
I’d take him- I like animals that need a little help- makes me feel like I can help them. I think he’s cute no matter what other kitties say!
may you stay blessed for taking care of him .
I love that this special kitty got a loving home. But that woman’s husband in the background does not sound very supportive! Blessings and healing to beautiful Ivar.
He was probably just confused lmao
@@RegalRoyalWasTaken The cat or the husband? LOL
He is supporting her, by letting the cat live in their home. Don't overthink things.
Yo got that from a 2 second video,thank you detective
I think that's the way they are to each other...sounds like their humor between one another.
Okay, so why would nobody want that beautiful lil bean?
Hes adorable 🥺
Such good soul for adopting him. Your love is priceless.
He looks so goofy with those permanent horrified shocked wide dead eyes like a living taxidermic cat! He's so cute!
Love this lady thank you
We need more people like you
He's such a weirdo w those eyes but i would adopt him cuz he's adorable 😭
God bless this woman and her fur babies!
