What if I only have a dog
Just an FYI Ragdolls are supper chatty too! My daughter owns 2 of the most gorgeous critters. Leave it to my kid to find a violet cat, eh?! Guessing she's making up for all those years living with me & my stupid (yet _severe)_ allergy to dander. But they're puuurfect grandchildren! I get to love them only when I'm well drugged to do so, than leave, LoL!
For those that don't know dander is dried saliva, urine & dead skin mixed together. These form a microscopic powder that gets on to clothing, furniture & stays behind for weeks after you or your pets leaves.🤗Hugs to you from your hometown city!
ps. We're _trying_ to wish our rain to you guys, we know you need it so badly out there.
i thought it would be your cat's family tree with his parents, grandparents, great grandparents, great great grandparents etc lol
Usually I don't comment on anyone's video but your content is superb so I am commenting on your video. Wow this video is fantastic. Every line is a point. Your channel deserve more subscriber. I regularly watch your videos from 2 years. As a old subscriber I want a help from you that please make a video on skanderbeg because I realised that only you can describe it nicely. As I know you from the old days, I think you will definitely make a video on this topic
i don't know if you know, but from a genetic standpoint chuti and ketsls coat patterns aren't that different, both of their base colors are black, just that chuti has a copy of a white spotting gene, and no striping, while ketsl has also one copy of white spotting (just showing a bit differently) and a mackarel stripe pattern, which may be only one copy away from no stripe patterns!

As a joke my cousin (who has money enough to throw away) did an online dna test usually done with humans to learn ethnicity except he did it with his dog, rabbit and pig. Not separate tests, he took saliva samples of all three and mixed them in one vial then mailed it in. Couple of months later he gets the report saying he is 53% Unicorn, 36% Sasquatch, and 11% Loch Ness Monster. He got the report on April 1. Apparently the website has the same sense of humor that my cousin has.
Haha, that's great. They probably have the same standard Mythical Creature DNA test results for every joker who sends in a mishmash of DNA nonsense.

@@zknight4481 Why? It seems perfectly plausible.
That sounds like something I would do. 😂
That's absolutely something that could happen. Lab work is boring as shit man. ANYTHING to break it up a little is just amazing most days.
11:00 That's a trill. It's my favorite noise a cat makes, because I feel it kind of equates to "excited elation" most of the time.
My cat used to *only* trill to communicate, he's even learned trill tones; he's got low and high trills. Within the last year or so he's learned to do this whisper meow thing; like imagine a cat breathing out a "heh"; that's him. But in the good ol' days he just walked around cheeping like a parakeet.
My cat trills too much! Jumping up and down to/from? Trill all the way.
My cat will trill everytime she tries to run to get the lazer
My 7-8 year old family cat does that whenever he gets a head scratch
my cat trills just to talk to me. it’s funny because i feel like he thinks i understand because it’s what i respond to the most
I got a bit of chill when I heard the noise. The cats I had when I was a teenager did that. They died nearly 10 years ago of old age and I miss them.
I was hoping it was gonna be a cat family tree, showing your cats black and white great grandparents lol

Boooooo! Not really! Good one!
best comment hahaha
"Brrr" sound is not weird at all, it's called a "trill" or a "chirp", which wild some cats also do. The cats trill to communicate that they are content and happy. The trills are normally exchanged by the bonded pairs of cats, pair mates, between siblings and parents in the family. Thus, Chuti recognizes you as the family and says: "all is great, keep on spoiling me".
I was going to comment and say the trill/brrr is common, but you beat me to it! My cat and my brother's cat are both Domestic Medium Hairs taken from the same cat colony in my neighbors backyard, many years and generations apart, and they both do the brrr.
Yes, my two cats make that same vocalization & it’s not unusual. Actually, my female, cat does this much more often than her littermate brother. BTW, they are Oriental Shorthair/American Shorthair mix.
My old cat was a Maine coon ragdoll mix and would tell you all about his day when you came home. He had such a wide rang of calls even my non cat person partner could understand him. He was a lot like Ketsl, except he always wanted cuddles. He would even sit next to bath tub and cry worriedly when I bathed. He would follower me room to room and sit next to me were ever I went. He knew how the laser pointer worked and would come over and bite it when he was done playing. He had basic dog commands and even sat nicely for his dinner. He was also very gentle, almost never used claws or teeth. Only time he scratched the dogs was when the oldest one as a puppy stole a treat from him for the third time during training. Yes he train right next to the dogs. He'd even work with them to hunt any critter dumb enough to come in the house. It been 5 years since he passed and I've yet to find a cat I liked well enough to adopt. Turns out I'm not really a cat person I was his person.
I hate dogs but same
that last sentence is beautiful 💕

Ragdolls do not have a genetic mutation that makes them go limp - that's a misconception due to marketing. They have a propensity to go limp when picking them up because of their docile natures. I have a ragdoll with a pedigree and she's so easy-going but really, it's up to her when she goes limp. Sometimes it strikes her mood, sometimes she'll do it when my boyfriend picks her up and won't when I do it for a season. Many breeders - including the one I got mine from - will attest that the "limp gene" is marketing. Ann Baker was known to make up stories about the origin of her ragdolls, even claiming at one point that they had alien DNA! Whatever the truth may be, they are fantastic cats and I am so in love with the breed. You cannot ask for a better housecat, imo.
My Mom has one, and from the moment he arrived, I couldn't believe how calm and confident he was. I had expected him to hide under the couch for a day or two, but he didn't show the slightest concern as we followed him around. When he had completed his cursory assessment of the new surroundings, he walked from one side of a utility closet to the opposite side and sat on a paint can facing us all for the first time. He just sat and looked at us as if to say, "So this it huh?" I was stunned, and nicknamed him "Prince Hairy" due to his attitude of being Royalty, and he is a champion pure breed from a long line of champions, but he's also quite playful and energetic at times. =D
My boy Max has me convinced he is primarily Ragdoll. He is not tested, and was a rescue, so his origin is a dice roll, but given his history - got him at 8 months old from shelter after he was "discovered" to be in a no-cats apartment, entirely possible he is a bred Ragdoll. He has the correct white coat / blue eyes, and his point coloration is cream / orange. He certainly has the disposition, large and in charge, dedicated to his daddy, and incredibly docile and affectionate. Also more interested in humonns rather than the other cats. Loves to sleep with me, and will climb up to rub all over my face before settling down in my lap for as long as I can stay in one place. Can't imagine a better companion, although his two "brothers" give him a run for the money.
@@burtpanzerMy cat (ginger shorthair, breed unknown) acted the exact same way when he arrived. I expected fear and anxiety, but he seemed to feel at home in about 20 minutes. 🤷🏻♀️ He is an outdoor cat so he went out the next day and promptly chased other cats away from our property. We call him "King of [neighborhood name]".
I absolutely love how in depth you described your cats’ personalities
That little “brrt” is called a trill, and it’s a kind of kitty greeting. Roughly translates to: “it’s so good to see you!”
It's multi purpose for my cat. It can mean, "you surprised me", "you woke me up" "leave me alone" "you're ignoring me"
one of my cats loves trilling all the time even just to talk (she likes doing that instead of meowing), it's adorable🥺
I thought all cats did this?
@@tempestofquestions pretty much all cats do it from time to time, it's just some cats do it more than others

I don't have a cat and can confirm I found this useful
I had a cat that looked EXACTLY like Chuti follow me home from a pizza shop a few years ago. She was the smallest sweetest thing and just purred and rubbed on my leg the whole walk. It was my mom's house so she didn't want the cat inside so I got her a box, a blanket and some food and in the morning the food was gone and so was the little kitty. I'm sure she's off wooing someone else.

Me : struggling 3 hours before my last college test
Also Me : dna cat test recomendation *clicked
In other words. Spending thousands on college and going into debt < actually learning something
Aww, my cat makes the little 'brrroop!' sounds too! She had a phase where she'd just chirrup all the time, when she came into the room, when she hopped off a chair or when you said hello to her. It seemed like a cheerful almost involuntary noise to say hello or seek attention. She's a keen huntress, so I always imagined one of the birds she caught got stuck in her throat and that's where the chirruping comes from haha
As a former Maine coon owner I can attest to their chattiness, and their attachment to one particular person. I was lucky to be that chosen one for my cat, there were a lot of snuggles and trills
Chuti: Is already cute.
Also Chuti: chirps.
Me: *kidnaps Chuti* lol
My cat chirps too, it's the cutest.
While talkativeness can be a result of genetics, it can also be a result of how a cat is raised. If you keep responding to a cat’s every meow past kitten hood, it can reinforce that behavior regardless of the cat’s genetics.
My Cats a Bengal, she's sposed to be a talker and I did talk to her a lot as a kitten. Now she drives nuts sometimes she won't shutup. She even meows very loudly to tell me she's going to do a poop.
Agreed
@@dianafarmer5445 I used to have a cat that would go around after taking a poop to, presumably, let everyone in the house know of his accomplishment.
Been chosen by a few cats to be their servant. I have a short first name and two of them have learned it and will call or say it (as a short mew , if they wanted my attention), one would learn to ask for food as Fisssshh, Chick-Chick, or Beef. ( mew length and tone varied), she would also jump and open door handles to get the door open to go out, ( the other cat just said out to go out (short meow), the one that jumped would then jump onto the door and sit on the top of it.
This is very true! I’ve had cats all my life and they’ve been all different types but they have all been fairly talkative(although my part Siamese definitely takes the cake😁) because I constantly talk to them!!
I love this video. I could listen to people talk about their cats all day! Your cats are absolutely gorgeous.
Loved this video ... love to hear you talk so lovingly about your cats! My cats trill and chirp...and it's amazes me how different in terms of behavior and looks, the mom and her two daughters (same dad) who make up my menagerie, really are! Would love to have them tested. Thanks!

I was surprised by the number of CATegories too. hehe
My cat used the make that "brrp" sound when she was happy too. I miss that noise.
I think that it is also a greeting. "brrp=happy to see you!" or as I used to think "Greetings earthling!"
Shorty from RUclips channel Shoko also makes that cute “pbbrt” sound
I’ve heard it called the “activation noise” before since cats that make the noise usually make it when surprised, such as when woken from a nap. Though they also seem to greet folks with it, like “oh my, what a pleasant surprise to see you!”
My youngest's cat does the noise too. He's also VERY talkative (I always thought it was because he fell on his head as a kitten)
boot up sound

My cat does the same thing as Chuti with laser pointer! When we got it, she looked at the dot, looked at us, ignored the dot, came to us and started to jostle the device. We tried several times in the span of few days and eventually gave our laser pointer to another cat owner :) She also does the trill you described, especially when she wakes up from heavier sleep. She's common european. Great video :)

Y’all got it wrong, the cats clearly a descendant of an Egyptian god
All of them, or just the egiptian ones?
Weren’t they first domesticated in/around Egypt?
Definitely all, and said goddess bid her childer to go out and protect all the civilizations dependent on grain. Oh
@@snigdha8404 cats were never full domesticated like other animals were. theres multiple instances of them becoming as close to domesticated as we can with them and then them becoming wild again before becoming re semi domesticated. cats just showed up and helped people in exchange for shelter and pets since they moved into food storage to eat rodents and knew if they followed the humans around there would be food and a warm safe place to sleep. Egypt just documented it more and made them into children of a goddess due to this relationship since wild rodents bring in disease. they believed the cats were sent by the gods to hunt evil spirits (the diseases rodents carry) to protect them. so they were treated like the pharohs.
it also took us a couple tries to domesticate dogs but we figured it out. Cats however are still semi wild and can live in the wild still (i wouldnt recommend a cat that only knew of the indoors be released into the wild they wouldnt survive due to not learning how to hunt properly like humans) thus the reason colonies of feral cats can thrive while packs of wild dogs have a much harder time. Cats also havent been so broken from breeding causing them to have the same genetic issues and malformations from breed to breed dogs do. it will take decades but most likely centuries to make dogs properly wild again while with cats need just a generation or 2.

Thank you so much. This was so very interesting. I am crazy about cats and I am such a cat lover, but my two fluffies have both passed away. They were also large gingers, and both lived for 17 years. All of my passwords include both of their names, so they are in my heart and mind daily.
OMG I just litteraly cried when saw Chuti. The thing is, I had a cat with EXACT SAME LOOK AND COLORING called Pussia which lived for long 18 years. She died two years ago. We've found out what she had a cancer on the last stage, and decided to not continue her suffering. I miss her so much.
My condolences. My Jezebel had cancer at the same age. I still miss her.

Your kitchen dinette set is awesome!
Omg this is so cool had no idea you could do this with cats lol 😆
"what breed is your cat?"
"Orange"
Because female cats stay in heat for several days, litter mates can have different fathers. Chuti and Ketsl may only be half-siblings by blood.
Beyond that, different genes passing over for each individual egg/sperm combination means that even siblings of the same parents can be very different genetically, meaning that the results can reveal different parts of their shared heritage. It’s more likely what you said though
he said that in the video if you watched the whole thing silly
@@iloveowls90 I typed my comment while I was still watching, before he said it.
@@CharlotteIssyvoo it’s too bad the cat DNA test doesn’t show DNA relatives and how much shared DNA and/or estimated relationship for DNA relatives. I guess there’s no market for that since cats aren’t doing genealogy, putting together their family tree or searching for the identity of their bio mom and dads.
Very cool video. Interesting information...I had no idea there were so many cat breeds.
Oh yeah, and about ragdolls having a genetic mutation that causes them to go limp, my cat Toasty has something that reminds me of a 'fainting goat.' If you sort of pet him on the belly while he's standing up, he will 'flop over' and let you rub his belly, or at least he used to - he's gotten stronger as he gets older, and he isn't as limp as he used to be. If you rubbed his belly, he would sometimes fall asleep.
I have a flame point Siamese. This guy comes up with a new sound everyday. It's funny how he rarely meows but instead communicates through his grunts.

Milo is adorable, and I think there's a strong connection between being talkative and being almost overbearing in their attachment to an owner.
It's quite possible. Since most cats are vocal only to offspring and humans instead of each other, it's probable that the genes which make them vocal occur along with other genes that increase their domestication level, such as friendliness
Yep, Matt this is officially the cutest video you have ever done.
Such well explained video, and very interesting fact about cat DNA.

Why not both haha
our beloved cat H (RIP) was also extremely intelligent and understood the laser pointer, but his reaction was more like “I tire of these games.” Basecat originally ]said his #1 grouping was abyssinian several years ago but they offered an updated report and apparently he was heavily maine coon. i think the science, for cats, is still really up in the air.
Yes the more tests they do, the more accurate it will get. Just the same with human ancestry tests. Which is why I find the hand down family tree charts for humans much more interesting and accurate!
That chirp sound is a greeting to you! A few of my cats do it and it's just a way to say hi, pretty much.

I think Milo is trying to explain the whole of the bed is his side in your clip.
We have a torie American Shorthair who does the trilling you described. My husband can mimic so they chat. Your personality description of Milo is nearly spot on with another of our cats. A basic fawn colored American Shorthair. He is so strongly bonded to me it's downright annoying sometimes. We also have a cat that started life all white. He life-bonded with another of our orange cats. I tell you this because over the years the white cat started to show orange in places like his tail, ears, and face. I would joke that the orange cat was rubbing off on the white cat. It turns out the white cat is a Flame-point Siamese. Probably not pure, but he does also have beautiful blue eyes. Thank you for the video. Very interesting.
Your cats are SUPER cute!
My cat also makes that chirruping sound that Chuti makes! He's a mixed breed but he is also long-haired with all black fur (I know Chuti is a tuxedo cat but still she has mostly black fur) so maybe there's a genetic link there
Same with mine, but i have no idea what breed she is
I doubt that noise is genetic; my cat also made it and looked totally different. It's probably more dependent on whether the mother was in the habit of making it - I saw my cat grow up from a kitten to 5 years old, and when I first met her, she didn't even know how to properly meow or purr! She just squeaked, as did her siblings. They all had to learn how to make proper cat noises from their mom, so I doubt "brrp" is an exception.
Mine made that particular noise whenever she was surprised or a touch irritated, I think, so if even the meaning can fluctuate, it's likely to be more nurture than nature.
@@anonymouse8124 lmao my cat is about 6 (I think I could be remembering more) and he still can't purr and makes squeaking noises
my cat, luna, is also a tuxedo cat (idk her breed lmao) and shes loves to make the brrrp sound in the morning
@@anonymouse8124 That can't be it either! I have a cat that makes that noise a ton and she was a bottle fed baby that showed up in our backyard under a piece of tin roofing when her eyes weren't even open yet. She knew her mom for at most a couple days.
My 2 cats are just generic "european shorthair" housecat mixes I think. They were found alone on the side of the road in the countryside when they were about 2 weeks old and sick. So just descendends of some semi feral farm kitties probably. Still very extra special of course 😁
Yes, I missed European shorthair in this list a lot. As a European myself all the "housecats" we have are European shorthairs. I thought thats normal 😅😅😅
@@mimimoonkitty3818 Yeah there's not even a cat breed that looks like European Shorthairs on the tree. I'm not even sure where they would line up.
This is such a nice wholesome video. Lovely cats.
This is peak RUclips, this needs to get some sort of award.
also, another breed ( witch was created in the 80's ) is the nebelung, a rare breed, but sometimes found in shelters. it was created by selectively breeding russian blues with the longest and darkest fur coats.
I did not know you could do that for pets. Neat!
Love your cats’s names.
Middle of the night and I'm watching all of these useful charts videos and now I am here... 🐱
I’ve absolutely loved getting to know your cats, they’re so charming and full of personality.
I've heard the "brr?" sound described as the cat startup sound :-D
I'm pretty proud of myself. I could name 8 breeds off the top of my head without much effort and was pleasantly surprised that I knew almost all the breeds. I just didn't realize some of the connections. I would love to do this with my 2 cats. Both are calico but couldn't be more different. One is traditional colors with long hair, small bone structure, very aloof and very sporadic. The other has muted colors, short hair, pretty lazy and cuddly and a medium build. She's got a few physical quirks though and is love to find out if it's genetic or just random.
Very interesting video!
