The other morning I immediately knew there was something up with my cat by the way she was sitting on my bed instead of lying comfortably and later I thought she was either sick or maybe broke a bone jumping from her cat tree. I took her to the vet and they couldn't figure it out. She's eating a little but still acting very weird and keeping to herself. Her sister hisses at her 😢
@@mandyinseattleI’m so glad this video popped up, because I was wondering what was going on with my cats as well. They seem a lot less active, even depressed, especially one cat we’re trying to figure out what the heck is going on, even after taking him to the vet.
@@Gloriagal78 wow, that's so crazy. I wonder if it's the change in light. How weird that so many cats are experiencing the same thing at the same time. I'm really worried that mine might be an underlining disease, it seems so serious. I'll try to get her to play the next time she comes out from hiding. My vet bill from this week was $1,400 and I'm really glad I have pet insurance.
Interesting! I have it the other way around because of my autism. I get really overstimulated because of the sun/light in summer... And that basically always end up in depression. These shorter days finally give me a bit more engery. Happy to now know the symptoms in cats so I can help them quicker.
Thank you for sharing that. I didn't know it could be that way for autistic people. Always good to be clued in to what others may be experiencing. Have a great weekend!
I’m with you. Same reason I prefer to keep the house relatively dark when the sun sets…never applied that thinking to my love of winter and night though, but it makes sense!
I'm autistic too and I had no idea why I felt strangely better during those months. It makes so much sense. Also the sound insulating properties of snow, lack of construction noises, etc.
I’m Autistic too and this explains A LOT. I actually don’t notice the difference because this time of year my bearded dragon goes into hibernation and when my scale baby plays dead for three months I tend to spiral into a depressive episode. Thankfully I’ve started pulling myself out of it and I’m starting to get back into my regular routine.
I’ve struggled with SAD all my life, and living in Scandinavia, those dark months are truly oppressive. Nothing makes you lose the will to live like a good old 14:30 Stockholm sunset. It never occurred to me that it affected cats too. I think I never noticed a change because the outdoor cats I know obviously have a major change in behavior (curling up inside in the warmth) when their territory gets covered in snow during those months, and that overshadows more subtle behavior changes due to daylight. But in hindsight it makes sense that cats would be affected too. After all, both of our species belong much closer to the equator than this.
The sun doesn't set quite so early here in winter but it rarely shines between Nov & mid- Feb. Low cloud inversion in the valley is so depressing! I have Scandinavian ancestry, I wonder if my DNA is programmed for SAD. On the flip side, I can't sleep well in the summer when the days are long and sunny. Have to use blackout curtains.
So true. It's getting very cold here in Michigan, which means closed windows. There's a big difference in my girl Babettes' behavior, and it's hard to see because she doesn't understand why she can't have them open all the time. So when I'm home, I constantly open/close them for her. It's a real pain, but anything that makes my girl happy, I do😺❤️
I work from home and my cat insists on being in my office all day while I'm working. He likes to jump up on my desk, so I put a cat condo and a floor-to-ceiling climbing pole with platforms at various heights in front of a window. I then got a bird feeder and placed it just outside the window. Needless to say, this keeps him occupied for hours at a time. It also tires him out and every couple of hours he naps on my desk. Good to know that this will help with his S.A.D.! I wish mine were so easy to deal with.
We couldn’t live without our cats. Thanks for your help and advice on how to make them happy!!!! Keep up the great work and videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Meow meow
I needed to hear about SAD affects cats. My little (outdoor feral) Olive ❤is sleeping more. She eats, finds a sunny spot in morning and naps. She’s also a bit more skittish. She still does her figure 8s around my legs and shows affection. I’ve learned so much from this channel. Now I just gotta find a cat house for her so she can sleep. I don’t know how to get her to know that she has a safe place here.
@@amycrabtree222 thank you so much! I took your advice. It worked for a while but 2 other cats started to come around and has now stopped sleeping there. I have a feeling she prefers to be up high. Going to get a cat tree and put in the backyard. I’m thinking I’ll feed her in our front yard and coax her to sleep in the backyard.
One thing my cat does is sleeps WAY more, he stays out of the windows even during the day. But he seems sad sometimes, he’ll put his paws and his cheek or jaw on our feet. It’s like he needs to keep better track of us to make sure he knows where we are. 😢
I used to free feed Link, but when I saw how little that helped when he got over fed, I managed to cut down. I know on the package of the dry food, it says how much a cat is supposed to eat every day. So I fill up Link’s bowl, so he can eat that whenever he wants (he is trying to adjust so he can eat when needed, but still can save the food until the next day). He gets wet food twice a day. 1 tsp in the morning and 1 tsp in the evening. Now that it’s easier to keep a track of how much he’s eating, I can actually see that he started to lose weight, so he’s becoming a healthier cat now ❤ He is more energetic and that makes me so happy. It’s easier and funnier to play with him now 🥰
How many times a day do you feed? I feed mine high quality wet food 2x a day and Dr Elsey's dry but I will limit that to only days when I'm at work. Eta: I give them a Churu each for lunch But I wonder if that's too rich for everyday.
@@karajalbert6074 I just stir in about a teaspoon of it into her canned food and mix in about 3-5 tablespoons of water into the wet food's "gravy." She seems to like it and it helps her stay regular😋 Maybe try a teeny amount of pumpkin to start with kitty's fave food that has gravy add a tiny bit of water n stir it together. I mix it in a tiny bowl first then pour it onto her plate. (Use the pure pumpkin in a can and not any pumpkin pie mix stuff. I get it from Walmart. I keep half of the pumpkin in fridge and I freeze half of the can of pumpkin. It lasts awhile ). Hope that helps😊
My cat slept all day last Monday. It's the first time I see him like this. I really thought something was wrong, but then everything came back normal on Tuesday. I guess he felt he needed a day off or something. He's always been good with the time changes since he does it by himself one or two weeks before we do, synching with the sun.
Here in Ohio---there are a lot less birds out there for the kitties to watch---many have flown the North! But, we try to keep our birdfeeder going to help both them and keep cat tv going. (The squirrels nap a lot more too when it's bitter cold in January)
Thanks for light options. I have auto feeder for the kibble set for 6:20 am and pm. I leave it as is for time changes like Spring ahead and now Fallback . He is often but not always perched like a vulture waiting for it. He does get ‘fish soup’ at one other time of day.
I remember a Tumblr post saying that you don't realise how much being in an overcast climate messes with you until you live somewhere sunny, and someone reblogged with a graph showing that the contiguous United States all have more sunlight than Europe.
I'm in the north east of Scotland where light levels in winter are pretty low. I've have suffered with SAD all my life so I loathe autumn and winter but do what I can to make it better for myself. I had no idea till now that cats suffer from it too but it makes sense. Thanks for this Jackson. I'll make more of an effort to drag myself out of bed so I can open the blinds earlier to make sure my lovely cat gets as much light as possible.
my favorite thing isnt even the information in the video its just the fact we have a disorder whose abbreviation is "SAD" still, really good info!!! love your content dude
I think that's what's wrong with my cat at the moment, I'm from the UK and my cat goes out but hasn't been out much at all because it's cold and rainy, she is just sleeping all day and sulking.
Hiiii Jason even though I know that probably you won't see This message because of you can't sometimes read all the comments it's alright and I'm a huge fan of yours and been a fan of you since the beginning of the show my cat from hell I absolutely love everything you do and teach us about our furry friends and how we should take care of them
I have depression myself. Whenever one of my kitties starts acting depressed, (it doesn't happen too often) that cat gets all of the cuddles. I know that's what I want when I'm in a bad place. It's worked pretty well so far ❤ they also seem to notice it in each other and snuggle up in "cat piles" to soothe. I don't see too many negative moods that last very long. They comfort each other too.
That's one thing I really love about cats. I often think I am hiding how I feel pretty well, and it might work on the human members of my family, but never with the cats. Without fail, they are here when I am needing them. They sit on me and purr. I fractured my radial head last spring and a physiotherapist recommended using a tens machine and a warm towel. I didn't have a cast or splint and neglected the sling because it didn't fit right, but somehow my cat knew exactly where to sit her warm and purring self. I had never broken a bone before, but the recovery seemed very fast! I'm so sorry about your depression. I'm glad that you have cats with you. When nothing helps you feel better or even different, they're such good company. When they're not offering a soothing, grounding, non-judgemental presence, they're still wonderful distractions. ♡
I commented to H about Bruno other day. He has seemed less playful and more sleepy this week. I am going to try a few treats in any sunny spots. Its so dark at the moment.
I live in Sweden, and I'm trying to prepare myself mentally for the coming months because once November hits, we barely see the sun for like 4 months. My cats seem to fair pretty well luckily, but I think they get just as drained as I do once it starts going grey and dark.
We had a cat that lived over 19yrs and we left dry food out 24/7 he was super skinny, never over ate, and he lived a long long time for cat. So I think it depends on the cat. Edit: he loved windows! and had access to them whenever he wanted to. We spoiled him lol
My cats definitely get S.A.D. in the winter (me too to some degree). The big thing for them is that they don't want to go outside for leash walks, or spend time on the catio, during the cold, wet, months. While in the summer, they spend most of their day on the catio watching birds. I try to make sure that we have extra play and cuddle time, it helps both of us.
My girl demands food an hour sooner after the clock goes back an hour😂 other than that, she's the same old crazy critter, but she refuses to play outside in her catio. Too cold for the spoiled indoor princess
This is very interesting. My cat has been uncharacteristically crazy every afternoon this past week, the clocks went back in the UK last weekend & I didn’t even consider this as a reason for the change!
One thing to consider about cats. They are as much nocturnal as diurnal. I can go to bed with a half a bucket of food, and wake up with some hungry cats telling me that I forgot to feed them. My cats, however, are indoor/outdoor cats. They love playing outside. However, it is just not as much fun when it is pouring down rain. Here in the Northwest, we have a wet season and a dry season, and the soggy season is here.
Something new to learn jackson. On a humorous note, one time when there was like 3 feet of snow outside, we heard this awful scary screechy like sound, like an animal fight. We look out side in front of our house on top of all that snow, 2 feral cats were going at it, not fighting, just sex. Good god. Lol.
As someone who has seasonal affective disorder, I definitely will need to make use of my sun box again, because I’ve been slacking off on that, and I’m sure the cats I live with will make use of it too 😆
Mine started sleeping more by late September. Sometimes I had to wake one up for breakfast. Luckily sleeping and cuddling more is as bad as it gets for them for the most part, the old one's arthritis gets worse during winter.
Yep..we get up at 5 am now, that's when she goes outside, she has the place to herself. We do a lot of playtime, she does get hyper, but finds hidey holes. Brushing helps with her licking, it distracts her. No furballs or shedding. She 'dry horks' so I'm heading to the vets, as she never uses the litter box until winter sets in, I don't know her bowel habits.
Dogs being crepuscular as well, and a lot of breeds are sun lovers as well… I always tell my clients to feed their dogs between hours, not the exact hour every time because that time might and will change, whether time change, life emergency, pet sitter, vet stay, etc… Feed BETWEEN 5-7:30pm or 7-9:00am, etc…
It’s been getting darker since the beginning of Summer. But the months between Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice are the worst for me. I celebrate the Longest Night as the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year. My cat’’said been a little lethargic as well.
This reminds me: I'd really like to give my cat outside time but I'm really afraid of spending the money on a good proper harness and then she just despises it too much. Can you make a more in depth harness training video and maybe some tips to help figure out if it's a good fit for your cat or if you should try something else first?
Maybe you’re strapping it too tight? It doesn’t have to be that snug. And you do have to introduce it to them gently. Leave it lying around at first a few days in spots they hang out in so they don’t associate it immediately with having someone putting them into this thing, put it on and leave it for a while and then take it off a couple times for a few days w/o trying to attach a leash or give them a walk so they get used to the feel of it. And I heard it’s normal for cats to dislike it at first and flop down on the floor and do things like walk low to the ground when they have it on like it’s heavy before they get used to it.
hey! so we have a few (safe) outdoor items for our lil babies, and they love them! they each have a harness, but this isn’t for walking them it’s more so they can graze if we’re at a park or backyard, etc. What we mostly do, though, is either take them out in our (roomy) cat backpack OR we got the wedyvko stroller from amazon! both of our cats love these items and it’s perfect because when it’s colder i just line them with blankets (which they love-more blankets = more biscuits).
I cannot say thank you enough for all I've learned from you over the past few months. Didn't realize senior cats needed wet food v. dry. Finally brought my 9 yr old to the vet and she recommended I go with the wet for the water content (and I'm adding a tad of water to the wet food; "younger" cat is 8 yrs old). BUT, it's the actual cat play that's working so well! My older boy is clumsy; I'm not sure how he survived on the streets of Chicago for 2 years. Finally, I'm tricking myself and not changing my analog clocks...yet. Thanks!
This Registered Nurse and cat mom of four fabulous felines thanks you for bringing up this topic. To be honest, I never thought about SAD in cats, but it makes perfect sense. Thank you!
I have started putting thick fabric on the window ledges as my cats are sitting sleeping on them now the weather is cold . I'm lucky as I have a conservatory and they love being in there.
I dislike standard time,and can’t wait until December 22, 2023, which is the day after winter solstice because we start regaining a little daylight back each day. Yay!
The cat that I had when I was a kid got very depressed when I left for college. She ended up needing antidepressants because she started over-grooming herself and was developing bald spots. (I couldn't take her with me because the dorm didn't allow pets.) Fortunately, so far, I have not noticed any of my cats having a seasonal issue, but I will certainly keep an eye out for it.
It takes about a week for our cats to adjust to the change, longer for me lol. I we left time in its natural state, there'd be less of a dramatic change with SAD! Stop DST. FYI: There are 24% more heart attacks after the springtime DST change?
I'm so pleased you addressed this ,it defiantly happens and can impact some cats quite a lot . My senior boy (sadly passed this year ) went through this every autumn like clockwork ,you could tell he was unhappy about the seasonal change .It generally lasted for 3-4 weeks before he seemed to accept that summer was over and adjust .I have recently adopted a 1 yr old female and am noticing a slight slow down in her too atm ,mainly less enthusiastic play .Introducing a new toy has helped ,and opening the window a tiny bit in the morning so she can listen to the birds outside ,smell the air etc ,also engages her interest .The most effective thing I have found is to keep play time interesting by making toys disappear behind objects or into gaps between furniture etc and moving around the house .Encouraging pouncing ,jumping and scrabbling things out with her paws as well as chasing .So far she seems pretty happy and is certainly always ready for her meals .
Here's something different to think about. I live in Sweden above the Arctic circle. Where in the Summer we have 24 hours of daylight ,and right now we're moving into the darkest part of the year where there'll be the opposite. What to do? Nothing really! This is how we live,humans and our felines. And we might not like it all the time,but somehow we adapt with the Seasons. We are awake longer in Summer,sleep more in the winter. Just wanted to share this.
I love the idea of regular feelding, but my work schedule is terrible for that. Luckily, they know that when I get home, it's a meal. Also, my kitties just get me crawling on the ground on all fours (which they absolutely love - I guess cuz I'm a big cat??? lol) to roll around on the floor with them. I know, I'm a crazy cat lady lol.
My cat have this "kind of". Basically he really dislike being outside, he's both an outside cat and an inside cat, neutered, whenever temperatures go below freezing. And for the past 2 weeks we've had temperatures between -10°C (14°F) even below, he's only been outside in short bursts before coming back in and i've definitely noticed him being agitated and worried
My older cat's are cool with most changes they are used to it.but can't break the free grazing 1 is a big diva with food and she just kept waking me up and i work.They are very active and healthy.
My cats start to sleep a lot more when winter and short days hit. However they love my lamp which mimics daylight. If we are in the same room there's absolutely zero chance of any light hitting my face 🤔
Hi Jackson! I recommend you to every cat parent I know. And I can tell how much they know about cats if they’ve already watched your videos ☺️ Those who haven’t probably think I have parasocial issues 😅 I commented about this on your recent post, but I use a happy lamp (along with medications and therapy) for the dark time change. I’m in Canada and the days get real short. Are happy lamps safe for my kitty?
my cats' peak play times are 2-3 pm and 2-3 am haha. I think thats my fault, because I work 1:30 to 10pm, and i do appreciate them working with my schedule.
About a month ago, one of the cats from our family acted very strange and absolutely unlike herself. She's usually very playful and energetic, mostly prefers to spend the entire day outside sun-bathing. For about a few days, she started sleeping in my brother's bed. She never used to go there, but she tends to find her sleeping places in various different places, no matter if there's a lot of people or not, so it wasn't very weird, except, she slept all day and only went out a few times to eat and do her business. It started when the day was getting shorter. I should mention, my brother's room is almost the most isolated room in the whole house, no one except him is there, and with him being at work most of the day, it's very, very calm there. So, one day, it was after a few days of her sleeping in that room, she came out 1st time that day at about 2pm. Immediately, I noticed something weren't quite right. She seemed overly cautious, as if she was scared of something. She kept looking out on the door and windows. Any tiny sounds, and she'd already be on her fours. If I moved too suddenly, or someone else entered the room, she'd run to hide behind a wardrobe. She didn't want to eat, she was scared of going out from the room, and stood entire day in front of the patio doors. Usually her standing there, meant that she wants to go out, so I opened it for her a few times. She'd take a few steps outside, sit a few minutes and then go back. She felt a little better when I closed the door, she calmed down a little bit, even came to sleep on my lap twice, but every time she heard a noise by the door, she'd go back to hiding. Most of the day, I spend sitting next to her by her hiding spot. It was very concerning and worrisome, it never happened before. I thought maybe the reason why she kept going to my brother's room was to hide from something? But she didn't seem like she was scared before. The next day though, everything went back to normal, she went outside a bit more frequently, wanted to eat every few minutes as per usual, and had her zoomies twice a day. Vet didn't find anything bad with her health, nor any injury. I still wonder why was she acting like that out of sudden. Did something happened outside? But then she wasn't acting scared when I opened the patio doors for her, though. Maybe it could be related with the weather and the fact that it's getting colder and darker sooner? I have no idea, honestly. She didn't show any sings of being scared since then anymore.
Pip’s been mad at me the last week because he wants to go for the OTHER walk in the OTHER yard, not this silly cold one. He thinks I’m incompetent. But he’s not sleeping more. He’s sleeping less. He’s bored, because it’s too cold to sit in the mud room watching the birds and squirrels all day, and it’s too cold for his walk to be as long. He’s bouncing off the walls.
I would love some advice on what to do! My outdoor camera has picked up a cat outside at night. My cats aren’t bothered by our outdoor guest, but I’m not sure what to do. I’m not sure how old this cat is and if I should attempt to catch it and take it to the shelter. I don’t know if it’s spayed or neutered. I also don’t know if it is someone’s outdoor cat. In my area there are a lot of stray animals (cats and dogs). People’s pets also get out all the time, but also a lot of people have outdoor only cats (I don’t know why). The last thing I want to do is take someone’s outdoor cat to a shelter. We are in NM and our outdoor camera has also been picking up a small red fox at night. With the fox and the weather getting colder, I don’t want to just let this cat stay outside. Every week I see at least one dead cat or dog on the roads. Any advice on what to do? I would love a video on what to do if you find cats outside.
Jackson, your videos are so helpful, I subscribed. I've also been watching My Cat From Hell on Max. I haven't explored your whole video library yet. . I'm learning about cats and saving so I can Catify my place before I adopt. If you haven't yet, could you consider making a video about helping a newly adopted cat to use the litter box instead of spraying around the home? Thanks for considering it!
I think all mammals have the full range of emotions. The only things they don't have that we do are the ability for higher reason and moral judgments. Because they can't speak to us we need to be able to read them.
Hi Jackson Galaxy, I wrote the following to myself and posted it on Facebook: Humans have a lot in common with cats: 1. They're aesthetically pleasing, usually, when they put effort into their appearance 2. They need to feel safe, confident and independent 3. They also need to socialize with others 4. They don't respond well to punishment 5. They need to exercise 30 minutes to an hour every day 6. They need to curate their diets and environments to make it liveable for them. 6a. They need and love to be clean. 7. They need and love to sleep 8. They need and love to play 9. Cats need and love to use their instincts to hunt; we need and love to use our minds to work. It's analogous. So maybe when you think about how you would treat your cat, turn the thinking around to how you treat yourself and your people.
Can a cat be "unspoiled"? Can a totally spoiled cat (he's been free-fed since forever, instead of fed meal times) be transformed into a correctly-fed cat? How would one do that without too much trauma?
The human circadian rhythm is reset by seeing bright light, such as a sunrise. Left without this cue, our body clocks actually run on a 26 hour cycle. When this happens our body clocks drift out of sync from the external clocks we use to regulate wake-up, work, meal time, and bed time: when days get shorter, we can end up trying to go to sleep when we are not tired, waking up when our bodies are not ready to wake up, eat when our bodies are not ready to process food, etc. This then leads to chronic tiredness and malaise, which then can bring depression, all of which are symptoms of SAD. This is why light therapy (10,000 lux at a set time every day) is effective for humans: it resets our body clock and keeps it in sync with the external clock. It never occurred to me that my cats would have a similar issue. I don't see how light therapy would work with cats -- I think they would be annoyed if I set up a very bright LED lamp right over their breakfast nook -- but setting their meal and play times to the sun rather than the clock should have a very similar effect for them. Thanks for the video.
My cat, Star, knows my alarms. In her mind, ok you're up at ypur computer, time for my (Dental) treats and can of food. I usually can push it to 6:40am before she's sitting in front of my monitors, but this time of year, I'm "late" and she won't even let me clock in before she starts bugging me. 🐈 She does not like daylight savings time at all!!!
~Kitties want to go outside, thats what is natural for them~I understand people not wanting to risk anything happening to them, but i think never being in their natural environment would be depressing for them?~
We give our cat a small amount of dry food that's always out in a bowl. He doesn't over eat, we put more food in the bowl probably ever 3-4 days. Do you recommend only putting dry food out at a specific time, and only enough for a few bites? He eats his wet meal at 6pm, even during the time change and all the meowing. We stick to 6pm every night of the year. He does go outside around 4pm everyday and comes home for dinner at 6pm, then stays in the rest of the night. He it super scheduled. Sometimes in summer he gets out after dinner but not for long. Do you think his schedule makes sense? I know you don't love cats being outdoors, but he is like a child and always gets home by curfew. I'd love to hear what you think about it, and his eating. He is super vocal, and never let's us forget his daily schedule! 😊
My cat suffers every winter. Her IBD acts up from the end of November all the way through the end of March. The only thing that keeps her semi happy is hunting for all the mice that sneak in from the cold. 🥶
Hey Jackson! I Love watching your videos, been a fan since My Cat from Hell. I recently rescued a tripawd kitten and would love a video on caring and taking care of our 3 legged furbabies!
Cats are affected just like humans are. The difference is, we can speak. They cannot. Therefore you HAVE to tap into their psyche and know your cat.
Oh cats can speak. Mine does it all the time. Just not English. Thankfully I am fluent in Meowish and so ensure I snuggle my kitty often!
Well said. So agree.
The other morning I immediately knew there was something up with my cat by the way she was sitting on my bed instead of lying comfortably and later I thought she was either sick or maybe broke a bone jumping from her cat tree. I took her to the vet and they couldn't figure it out. She's eating a little but still acting very weird and keeping to herself. Her sister hisses at her 😢
@@mandyinseattleI’m so glad this video popped up, because I was wondering what was going on with my cats as well. They seem a lot less active, even depressed, especially one cat we’re trying to figure out what the heck is going on, even after taking him to the vet.
@@Gloriagal78 wow, that's so crazy. I wonder if it's the change in light. How weird that so many cats are experiencing the same thing at the same time. I'm really worried that mine might be an underlining disease, it seems so serious. I'll try to get her to play the next time she comes out from hiding.
My vet bill from this week was $1,400 and I'm really glad I have pet insurance.
Interesting! I have it the other way around because of my autism. I get really overstimulated because of the sun/light in summer... And that basically always end up in depression. These shorter days finally give me a bit more engery.
Happy to now know the symptoms in cats so I can help them quicker.
Thank you for sharing that. I didn't know it could be that way for autistic people. Always good to be clued in to what others may be experiencing. Have a great weekend!
I’m with you. Same reason I prefer to keep the house relatively dark when the sun sets…never applied that thinking to my love of winter and night though, but it makes sense!
I'm autistic too and I had no idea why I felt strangely better during those months. It makes so much sense. Also the sound insulating properties of snow, lack of construction noises, etc.
I’m Autistic too and this explains A LOT. I actually don’t notice the difference because this time of year my bearded dragon goes into hibernation and when my scale baby plays dead for three months I tend to spiral into a depressive episode. Thankfully I’ve started pulling myself out of it and I’m starting to get back into my regular routine.
Oh. Iiii think I have that too. Dangit.
I’ve struggled with SAD all my life, and living in Scandinavia, those dark months are truly oppressive. Nothing makes you lose the will to live like a good old 14:30 Stockholm sunset. It never occurred to me that it affected cats too. I think I never noticed a change because the outdoor cats I know obviously have a major change in behavior (curling up inside in the warmth) when their territory gets covered in snow during those months, and that overshadows more subtle behavior changes due to daylight. But in hindsight it makes sense that cats would be affected too. After all, both of our species belong much closer to the equator than this.
Wow. 14.30 😮 I'm from Germany and hate the winter here but that's another level. I'd move
The sun doesn't set quite so early here in winter but it rarely shines between Nov & mid- Feb. Low cloud inversion in the valley is so depressing!
I have Scandinavian ancestry, I wonder if my DNA is programmed for SAD. On the flip side, I can't sleep well in the summer when the days are long and sunny. Have to use blackout curtains.
Sending you warm sunshine from Southern California.
I never notice a sunset here. Just it’s day, and oh! It’s five o’clock and it’s pitch black outside
So true. It's getting very cold here in Michigan, which means closed windows. There's a big difference in my girl Babettes' behavior, and it's hard to see because she doesn't understand why she can't have them open all the time. So when I'm home, I constantly open/close them for her. It's a real pain, but anything that makes my girl happy, I do😺❤️
I work from home and my cat insists on being in my office all day while I'm working. He likes to jump up on my desk, so I put a cat condo and a floor-to-ceiling climbing pole with platforms at various heights in front of a window. I then got a bird feeder and placed it just outside the window. Needless to say, this keeps him occupied for hours at a time. It also tires him out and every couple of hours he naps on my desk.
Good to know that this will help with his S.A.D.! I wish mine were so easy to deal with.
Love that they’re just calmly explaining the rules and whatnot to her. We all start somewhere.
We couldn’t live without our cats. Thanks for your help and advice on how to make them happy!!!! Keep up the great work and videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Meow meow
Thank you. I have that disorder. Did not realize my cat had it too.
I needed to hear about SAD affects cats. My little (outdoor feral) Olive ❤is sleeping more. She eats, finds a sunny spot in morning and naps. She’s also a bit more skittish. She still does her figure 8s around my legs and shows affection. I’ve learned so much from this channel. Now I just gotta find a cat house for her so she can sleep. I don’t know how to get her to know that she has a safe place here.
Feed her on it, call her to it, etc
@@amycrabtree222 thank you so much! I took your advice. It worked for a while but 2 other cats started to come around and has now stopped sleeping there.
I have a feeling she prefers to be up high. Going to get a cat tree and put in the backyard. I’m thinking I’ll feed her in our front yard and coax her to sleep in the backyard.
Cheer up guys 🐈 🐈⬛️ we love you 🤗
One thing my cat does is sleeps WAY more, he stays out of the windows even during the day.
But he seems sad sometimes, he’ll put his paws and his cheek or jaw on our feet. It’s like he needs to keep better track of us to make sure he knows where we are. 😢
I used to free feed Link, but when I saw how little that helped when he got over fed, I managed to cut down. I know on the package of the dry food, it says how much a cat is supposed to eat every day. So I fill up Link’s bowl, so he can eat that whenever he wants (he is trying to adjust so he can eat when needed, but still can save the food until the next day). He gets wet food twice a day. 1 tsp in the morning and 1 tsp in the evening.
Now that it’s easier to keep a track of how much he’s eating, I can actually see that he started to lose weight, so he’s becoming a healthier cat now ❤ He is more energetic and that makes me so happy. It’s easier and funnier to play with him now 🥰
How would we ever raise cats without you man❤❤❤ Thank you and love you Jackson ❤❤❤🎉
Yes Jackson, I now feed at certain times and only feed wet food. You have engrained that in me.
Me too. Boy is her coat super soft and floofy😊. I add pumpkin puree to her food too (for xtra hydration).
How many times a day do you feed?
I feed mine high quality wet food 2x a day and Dr Elsey's dry but I will limit that to only days when I'm at work. Eta: I give them a Churu each for lunch But I wonder if that's too rich for everyday.
@@mandyinseattle I give her a can of friskies a day. She loves beef and gravy. It seems to be working before I had cats dying from kidney problems.
@@lb1460 how do you get your cat to eat the puree? Miss. Tortitude is very picky.
@@karajalbert6074 I just stir in about a teaspoon of it into her canned food and mix in about 3-5 tablespoons of water into the wet food's "gravy." She seems to like it and it helps her stay regular😋 Maybe try a teeny amount of pumpkin to start with kitty's fave food that has gravy add a tiny bit of water n stir it together. I mix it in a tiny bowl first then pour it onto her plate. (Use the pure pumpkin in a can and not any pumpkin pie mix stuff. I get it from Walmart. I keep half of the pumpkin in fridge and I freeze half of the can of pumpkin. It lasts awhile ). Hope that helps😊
My cat slept all day last Monday. It's the first time I see him like this. I really thought something was wrong, but then everything came back normal on Tuesday. I guess he felt he needed a day off or something. He's always been good with the time changes since he does it by himself one or two weeks before we do, synching with the sun.
Here in Ohio---there are a lot less birds out there for the kitties to watch---many have flown the North! But, we try to keep our birdfeeder going to help both them and keep cat tv going. (The squirrels nap a lot more too when it's bitter cold in January)
I’m very fortunate to have an enclosed patio that is southwest facing. 8 large windows with cat trees to play and nap on and bird feeders to look at.
Thanks for light options. I have auto feeder for the kibble set for 6:20 am and pm. I leave it as is for time changes like Spring ahead and now Fallback . He is often but not always perched like a vulture waiting for it. He does get ‘fish soup’ at one other time of day.
We love you Jackson. Just wanted to say hello and THANK YOU for many years, much light and mojo to you. Always.
Definitely feel it in Seattle!
Meeee😮 too!
I lived there for 26 years after growing up and SoCal and yeah, it hit me hard. I'm so happy to be back home but I do miss Seattle
I remember a Tumblr post saying that you don't realise how much being in an overcast climate messes with you until you live somewhere sunny, and someone reblogged with a graph showing that the contiguous United States all have more sunlight than Europe.
I'm in the north east of Scotland where light levels in winter are pretty low. I've have suffered with SAD all my life so I loathe autumn and winter but do what I can to make it better for myself. I had no idea till now that cats suffer from it too but it makes sense. Thanks for this Jackson. I'll make more of an effort to drag myself out of bed so I can open the blinds earlier to make sure my lovely cat gets as much light as possible.
my favorite thing isnt even the information in the video its just the fact we have a disorder whose abbreviation is "SAD"
still, really good info!!! love your content dude
I think that's what's wrong with my cat at the moment, I'm from the UK and my cat goes out but hasn't been out much at all because it's cold and rainy, she is just sleeping all day and sulking.
Hiiii Jason even though I know that probably you won't see This message because of you can't sometimes read all the comments it's alright and I'm a huge fan of yours and been a fan of you since the beginning of the show my cat from hell I absolutely love everything you do and teach us about our furry friends and how we should take care of them
Somehow my kittie girl knows her mealtimes even after a time-change😋 My doggies could figure out the time too when I still had dogs. Miss them.
Thank you Jackson ❤
I'm in New Zealand and it is spring coming into summer. Yay!!! I love spring and summer.
I used to watch this guys show when I was like 5, Im about to get out of highschool now. Time flies.
Wow! I had no idea. Thank you for all you do!!!❤❤❤
I have depression myself. Whenever one of my kitties starts acting depressed, (it doesn't happen too often) that cat gets all of the cuddles. I know that's what I want when I'm in a bad place. It's worked pretty well so far ❤ they also seem to notice it in each other and snuggle up in "cat piles" to soothe. I don't see too many negative moods that last very long. They comfort each other too.
That's one thing I really love about cats. I often think I am hiding how I feel pretty well, and it might work on the human members of my family, but never with the cats. Without fail, they are here when I am needing them. They sit on me and purr. I fractured my radial head last spring and a physiotherapist recommended using a tens machine and a warm towel. I didn't have a cast or splint and neglected the sling because it didn't fit right, but somehow my cat knew exactly where to sit her warm and purring self. I had never broken a bone before, but the recovery seemed very fast!
I'm so sorry about your depression. I'm glad that you have cats with you. When nothing helps you feel better or even different, they're such good company. When they're not offering a soothing, grounding, non-judgemental presence, they're still wonderful distractions. ♡
I commented to H about Bruno other day. He has seemed less playful and more sleepy this week. I am going to try a few treats in any sunny spots. Its so dark at the moment.
I'm enjoying your old programs on Tubi.
I never would’ve guessed this. Thanks for the tips!
I built bigger shelves for most of my windows, the cat's love it.
I live in Sweden, and I'm trying to prepare myself mentally for the coming months because once November hits, we barely see the sun for like 4 months. My cats seem to fair pretty well luckily, but I think they get just as drained as I do once it starts going grey and dark.
We had a cat that lived over 19yrs and we left dry food out 24/7 he was super skinny, never over ate, and he lived a long long time for cat. So I think it depends on the cat. Edit: he loved windows! and had access to them whenever he wanted to. We spoiled him lol
My cats definitely get S.A.D. in the winter (me too to some degree). The big thing for them is that they don't want to go outside for leash walks, or spend time on the catio, during the cold, wet, months. While in the summer, they spend most of their day on the catio watching birds.
I try to make sure that we have extra play and cuddle time, it helps both of us.
Thank you for the great advice and love all you do have a nice day 👍 your truly appreciated 😊
My girl demands food an hour sooner after the clock goes back an hour😂 other than that, she's the same old crazy critter, but she refuses to play outside in her catio. Too cold for the spoiled indoor princess
This is very interesting. My cat has been uncharacteristically crazy every afternoon this past week, the clocks went back in the UK last weekend & I didn’t even consider this as a reason for the change!
Feel it in Cleveland omg and so are my cats they sleep all day ❤didn't even realize ..I was wondering why he plopped on couch and didn't move.
One thing to consider about cats. They are as much nocturnal as diurnal. I can go to bed with a half a bucket of food, and wake up with some hungry cats telling me that I forgot to feed them.
My cats, however, are indoor/outdoor cats. They love playing outside. However, it is just not as much fun when it is pouring down rain. Here in the Northwest, we have a wet season and a dry season, and the soggy season is here.
Something new to learn jackson. On a humorous note, one time when there was like 3 feet of snow outside, we heard this awful scary screechy like sound, like an animal fight. We look out side in front of our house on top of all that snow, 2 feral cats were going at it, not fighting, just sex. Good god. Lol.
As someone who has seasonal affective disorder, I definitely will need to make use of my sun box again, because I’ve been slacking off on that, and I’m sure the cats I live with will make use of it too 😆
Mine started sleeping more by late September. Sometimes I had to wake one up for breakfast. Luckily sleeping and cuddling more is as bad as it gets for them for the most part, the old one's arthritis gets worse during winter.
Since the first snow started, my girl is looking outside like "not again!!" 😂
Yep..we get up at 5 am now, that's when she goes outside, she has the place to herself. We do a lot of playtime, she does get hyper, but finds hidey holes. Brushing helps with her licking, it distracts her. No furballs or shedding. She 'dry horks' so I'm heading to the vets, as she never uses the litter box until winter sets in, I don't know her bowel habits.
Dogs being crepuscular as well, and a lot of breeds are sun lovers as well… I always tell my clients to feed their dogs between hours, not the exact hour every time because that time might and will change, whether time change, life emergency, pet sitter, vet stay, etc… Feed BETWEEN 5-7:30pm or 7-9:00am, etc…
My cats go into winter mode. More sleeping and hibernation ❤
I got a SAD lamp for christmas. Inlive far north in the northen hemisphere. My cat instantly sat herself in front of the lamp 😅🥰
It’s been getting darker since the beginning of Summer. But the months between Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice are the worst for me. I celebrate the Longest Night as the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year. My cat’’said been a little lethargic as well.
This reminds me: I'd really like to give my cat outside time but I'm really afraid of spending the money on a good proper harness and then she just despises it too much. Can you make a more in depth harness training video and maybe some tips to help figure out if it's a good fit for your cat or if you should try something else first?
Maybe you’re strapping it too tight? It doesn’t have to be that snug. And you do have to introduce it to them gently. Leave it lying around at first a few days in spots they hang out in so they don’t associate it immediately with having someone putting them into this thing, put it on and leave it for a while and then take it off a couple times for a few days w/o trying to attach a leash or give them a walk so they get used to the feel of it. And I heard it’s normal for cats to dislike it at first and flop down on the floor and do things like walk low to the ground when they have it on like it’s heavy before they get used to it.
hey! so we have a few (safe) outdoor items for our lil babies, and they love them! they each have a harness, but this isn’t for walking them it’s more so they can graze if we’re at a park or backyard, etc. What we mostly do, though, is either take them out in our (roomy) cat backpack OR we got the wedyvko stroller from amazon! both of our cats love these items and it’s perfect because when it’s colder i just line them with blankets (which they love-more blankets = more biscuits).
I cannot say thank you enough for all I've learned from you over the past few months. Didn't realize senior cats needed wet food v. dry. Finally brought my 9 yr old to the vet and she recommended I go with the wet for the water content (and I'm adding a tad of water to the wet food; "younger" cat is 8 yrs old). BUT, it's the actual cat play that's working so well! My older boy is clumsy; I'm not sure how he survived on the streets of Chicago for 2 years. Finally, I'm tricking myself and not changing my analog clocks...yet. Thanks!
This Registered Nurse and cat mom of four fabulous felines thanks you for bringing up this topic. To be honest, I never thought about SAD in cats, but it makes perfect sense. Thank you!
Btw congrats on 2 Million Cat Daddy!
Thank you for this video!! I need your fancy pink glasses, cat daddy! Will you please let me know where to purchase those? xo
Me and my cats came to Florida for the winter to get rid of seasonal depression for all of us
Thank you Jackson for your advice.
I have started putting thick fabric on the window ledges as my cats are sitting sleeping on them now the weather is cold . I'm lucky as I have a conservatory and they love being in there.
I dislike standard time,and can’t wait until December 22, 2023, which is the day after winter solstice because we start regaining a little daylight back each day. Yay!
The cat that I had when I was a kid got very depressed when I left for college. She ended up needing antidepressants because she started over-grooming herself and was developing bald spots. (I couldn't take her with me because the dorm didn't allow pets.) Fortunately, so far, I have not noticed any of my cats having a seasonal issue, but I will certainly keep an eye out for it.
It takes about a week for our cats to adjust to the change, longer for me lol. I we left time in its natural state, there'd be less of a dramatic change with SAD! Stop DST. FYI: There are 24% more heart attacks after the springtime DST change?
I'm so pleased you addressed this ,it defiantly happens and can impact some cats quite a lot . My senior boy (sadly passed this year ) went through this every autumn like clockwork ,you could tell he was unhappy about the seasonal change .It generally lasted for 3-4 weeks before he seemed to accept that summer was over and adjust .I have recently adopted a 1 yr old female and am noticing a slight slow down in her too atm ,mainly less enthusiastic play .Introducing a new toy has helped ,and opening the window a tiny bit in the morning so she can listen to the birds outside ,smell the air etc ,also engages her interest .The most effective thing I have found is to keep play time interesting by making toys disappear behind objects or into gaps between furniture etc and moving around the house .Encouraging pouncing ,jumping and scrabbling things out with her paws as well as chasing .So far she seems pretty happy and is certainly always ready for her meals .
Here's something different to think about. I live in Sweden above the Arctic circle. Where in the Summer we have 24 hours of daylight ,and right now we're moving into the darkest part of the year where there'll be the opposite. What to do? Nothing really! This is how we live,humans and our felines. And we might not like it all the time,but somehow we adapt with the Seasons. We are awake longer in Summer,sleep more in the winter. Just wanted to share this.
I love the idea of regular feelding, but my work schedule is terrible for that. Luckily, they know that when I get home, it's a meal. Also, my kitties just get me crawling on the ground on all fours (which they absolutely love - I guess cuz I'm a big cat??? lol) to roll around on the floor with them. I know, I'm a crazy cat lady lol.
I haven’t noticed any change in my kittens behavior or attitude but he’s only 5 months old. I do notice a difference in my dog.
My cat have this "kind of". Basically he really dislike being outside, he's both an outside cat and an inside cat, neutered, whenever temperatures go below freezing. And for the past 2 weeks we've had temperatures between -10°C (14°F) even below, he's only been outside in short bursts before coming back in and i've definitely noticed him being agitated and worried
Thanks to my baby for making my life depression free ❤
Thank you for your kind authority! Please tell me more about kittens! I am about to adopt two 16-month-old cuties!
Oh Jackson.. this was so spot on and enlightening... thank you so very much ❤
My older cat's are cool with most changes they are used to it.but can't break the free grazing 1 is a big diva with food and she just kept waking me up and i work.They are very active and healthy.
My cats start to sleep a lot more when winter and short days hit. However they love my lamp which mimics daylight. If we are in the same room there's absolutely zero chance of any light hitting my face 🤔
Thanks for the advice.❤
Hi Jackson! I recommend you to every cat parent I know. And I can tell how much they know about cats if they’ve already watched your videos ☺️
Those who haven’t probably think I have parasocial issues 😅
I commented about this on your recent post, but I use a happy lamp (along with medications and therapy) for the dark time change. I’m in Canada and the days get real short.
Are happy lamps safe for my kitty?
I should’ve watched the video first 😂
my cats' peak play times are 2-3 pm and 2-3 am haha. I think thats my fault, because I work 1:30 to 10pm, and i do appreciate them working with my schedule.
About a month ago, one of the cats from our family acted very strange and absolutely unlike herself. She's usually very playful and energetic, mostly prefers to spend the entire day outside sun-bathing. For about a few days, she started sleeping in my brother's bed. She never used to go there, but she tends to find her sleeping places in various different places, no matter if there's a lot of people or not, so it wasn't very weird, except, she slept all day and only went out a few times to eat and do her business. It started when the day was getting shorter. I should mention, my brother's room is almost the most isolated room in the whole house, no one except him is there, and with him being at work most of the day, it's very, very calm there.
So, one day, it was after a few days of her sleeping in that room, she came out 1st time that day at about 2pm. Immediately, I noticed something weren't quite right. She seemed overly cautious, as if she was scared of something. She kept looking out on the door and windows. Any tiny sounds, and she'd already be on her fours. If I moved too suddenly, or someone else entered the room, she'd run to hide behind a wardrobe. She didn't want to eat, she was scared of going out from the room, and stood entire day in front of the patio doors. Usually her standing there, meant that she wants to go out, so I opened it for her a few times. She'd take a few steps outside, sit a few minutes and then go back. She felt a little better when I closed the door, she calmed down a little bit, even came to sleep on my lap twice, but every time she heard a noise by the door, she'd go back to hiding.
Most of the day, I spend sitting next to her by her hiding spot. It was very concerning and worrisome, it never happened before. I thought maybe the reason why she kept going to my brother's room was to hide from something? But she didn't seem like she was scared before.
The next day though, everything went back to normal, she went outside a bit more frequently, wanted to eat every few minutes as per usual, and had her zoomies twice a day. Vet didn't find anything bad with her health, nor any injury. I still wonder why was she acting like that out of sudden. Did something happened outside? But then she wasn't acting scared when I opened the patio doors for her, though. Maybe it could be related with the weather and the fact that it's getting colder and darker sooner? I have no idea, honestly. She didn't show any sings of being scared since then anymore.
Pip’s been mad at me the last week because he wants to go for the OTHER walk in the OTHER yard, not this silly cold one. He thinks I’m incompetent.
But he’s not sleeping more. He’s sleeping less. He’s bored, because it’s too cold to sit in the mud room watching the birds and squirrels all day, and it’s too cold for his walk to be as long. He’s bouncing off the walls.
I would love some advice on what to do! My outdoor camera has picked up a cat outside at night. My cats aren’t bothered by our outdoor guest, but I’m not sure what to do. I’m not sure how old this cat is and if I should attempt to catch it and take it to the shelter. I don’t know if it’s spayed or neutered. I also don’t know if it is someone’s outdoor cat. In my area there are a lot of stray animals (cats and dogs). People’s pets also get out all the time, but also a lot of people have outdoor only cats (I don’t know why). The last thing I want to do is take someone’s outdoor cat to a shelter. We are in NM and our outdoor camera has also been picking up a small red fox at night. With the fox and the weather getting colder, I don’t want to just let this cat stay outside. Every week I see at least one dead cat or dog on the roads. Any advice on what to do? I would love a video on what to do if you find cats outside.
Jackson, your videos are so helpful, I subscribed. I've also been watching My Cat From Hell on Max. I haven't explored your whole video library yet. . I'm learning about cats and saving so I can Catify my place before I adopt. If you haven't yet, could you consider making a video about helping a newly adopted cat to use the litter box instead of spraying around the home? Thanks for considering it!
I think all mammals have the full range of emotions. The only things they don't have that we do are the ability for higher reason and moral judgments. Because they can't speak to us we need to be able to read them.
Hi Jackson Galaxy,
I wrote the following to myself and posted it on Facebook:
Humans have a lot in common with cats:
1. They're aesthetically pleasing, usually, when they put effort into their appearance
2. They need to feel safe, confident and independent
3. They also need to socialize with others
4. They don't respond well to punishment
5. They need to exercise 30 minutes to an hour every day
6. They need to curate their diets and environments to make it liveable for them.
6a. They need and love to be clean.
7. They need and love to sleep
8. They need and love to play
9. Cats need and love to use their instincts to hunt; we need and love to use our minds to work. It's analogous.
So maybe when you think about how you would treat your cat, turn the thinking around to how you treat yourself and your people.
Anything interesting there or am I ranting like a madman?
Thank you. I was wondering what my cats were doing. I thought they all were sick.😮
Can a cat be "unspoiled"? Can a totally spoiled cat (he's been free-fed since forever, instead of fed meal times) be transformed into a correctly-fed cat? How would one do that without too much trauma?
The human circadian rhythm is reset by seeing bright light, such as a sunrise. Left without this cue, our body clocks actually run on a 26 hour cycle. When this happens our body clocks drift out of sync from the external clocks we use to regulate wake-up, work, meal time, and bed time: when days get shorter, we can end up trying to go to sleep when we are not tired, waking up when our bodies are not ready to wake up, eat when our bodies are not ready to process food, etc. This then leads to chronic tiredness and malaise, which then can bring depression, all of which are symptoms of SAD. This is why light therapy (10,000 lux at a set time every day) is effective for humans: it resets our body clock and keeps it in sync with the external clock.
It never occurred to me that my cats would have a similar issue. I don't see how light therapy would work with cats -- I think they would be annoyed if I set up a very bright LED lamp right over their breakfast nook -- but setting their meal and play times to the sun rather than the clock should have a very similar effect for them. Thanks for the video.
My cat, Star, knows my alarms. In her mind, ok you're up at ypur computer, time for my (Dental) treats and can of food. I usually can push it to 6:40am before she's sitting in front of my monitors, but this time of year, I'm "late" and she won't even let me clock in before she starts bugging me. 🐈 She does not like daylight savings time at all!!!
When I turn on my Happy Light, my cat gets the zoomies
~Kitties want to go outside, thats what is natural for them~I understand people not wanting to risk anything happening to them, but i think never being in their natural environment would be depressing for them?~
We give our cat a small amount of dry food that's always out in a bowl. He doesn't over eat, we put more food in the bowl probably ever 3-4 days. Do you recommend only putting dry food out at a specific time, and only enough for a few bites? He eats his wet meal at 6pm, even during the time change and all the meowing. We stick to 6pm every night of the year. He does go outside around 4pm everyday and comes home for dinner at 6pm, then stays in the rest of the night. He it super scheduled. Sometimes in summer he gets out after dinner but not for long. Do you think his schedule makes sense? I know you don't love cats being outdoors, but he is like a child and always gets home by curfew. I'd love to hear what you think about it, and his eating. He is super vocal, and never let's us forget his daily schedule! 😊
And here I am in North Pole, Alaska (99705) with my five cats, just trying to NOT get murdered by them!!!
Just live in Arizona!!! 😆
I don't know if you have made a video on this but you should make one discussing if you should let your cat outside or not.
I love cats!
I genuinely get happier the less sun there is... but my cats haven't really shown any signs... I don't free feed them though so maybe that helps?
I never realized, but I noticed some shift with our Shalom, and he isn’t eating at much. I have to free feed my cat coz of work 😅
nah i like the dark. wish i lived in a place that experienced polar night, months of darkness sound amazing.
My cat Billy, if the day isn't sunny he literally gets sad and upset.
My cat suffers every winter. Her IBD acts up from the end of November all the way through the end of March. The only thing that keeps her semi happy is hunting for all the mice that sneak in from the cold. 🥶
My cat loves sitting in her tree looking out the window in the sun watching my two dogs wrestling and playing in the backyard 😂❤
Hello 👋 Jackson galaxy 🌌 hope you and your wife are alright and of course all of your animals 🐱🐶👍💕🙋♀️💋
Hey Jackson! I Love watching your videos, been a fan since My Cat from Hell. I recently rescued a tripawd kitten and would love a video on caring and taking care of our 3 legged furbabies!
Ya idk about this
I love my kitty, but I’m not gonna worry/ change her routine unless she starts acting differently
