Cats love learning tricks just like a dog. Mine sit pretty, kiss me on my nose, turn around, do a high five and another five down low. They sit , lay down. Thier names are Magnolia and Bear. Easy fun tricks found hints on you tube. Bear used to play fetch with his toy mousie too, but he's gotten bored with it.
My kitty has a few little mousies that she hides and I assume they are long gone but then a week later there they are waiting in the middle of the living room when I come home cats love to learn tricks and impress you with their hunting skills
When I was a kid growing up. My family’s first 2 cats were both indoor and outdoor. One stayed close to home and the other cat did wonder around the neighborhood. One was about 13 years old that had a cancerous tumor in him. The other cat lived with my parents almost 18 years with my parents. Both cats were sweet and friendly. The older cat became sweet and friendly when he got older. I do missed those 2 cats. The 2nd cat had a special bond with me.
I hide hard treats then use the laser to help my cats catch them. Kinda their own little kills. 😅.. I am guilty of keeping dry food out because my babies can't be hungry but I give them wet food/treat twice a day so they'll have it to look forward to. The only downside is I can't ever sleep late because they know and make sure I know it's breakfast time.😂
We compromised here. Like you we feed wet twice a day but they only get dry with their evening feed. They're better for it, have lost the excess weight they'd gained (free feeding = fat indoor cats) and they're less of a pain in the posterior at 4am. Laser pointer to food is a great idea.
@@UKCougar We've been really lucky. Even our 6 yr old Russian blue isn't over weight. Her baby sissy is a 6 month old Maine Coon so she's long and thin. If either starts gaining too much weight we'll probably take the full time dry food away.
They would tell us they hate living in a flat.My cat lives in an outdoor zone with roof his cozy house and food.When he wants to limb a tree he does it,when he wants to come in to be with me also.He s a happy cat.NEVER has he ripped or done anything to my furniture or linens.The only indoor cat I could figure is a stray cat that's suffering and needs food and a warm home.Otherwise opt for a dog and stroll him around.
My cat has so far brought two mice in and a huge rat, she also jumped off a garage to get a seagull, but it had a fight with her and got away. I had live frogs brought in that I set free and had a pigeon dropped on my knee. She gets feds 3-4 100g pouches of food and extra tuna, when she asks.
Thank your cat for the presents and tell her not to catch wild life. Is always a risk with rats and mice if people use poison. My cat likes to eat when I eat. She loves tuna and also the gravy lovers cat food. I don't think some of the gravy style food has much protein in it. Poppy is 18years old and brought me a baby honeyeater as a present recently. It was able to fly, I was able to rescue it and no harm done. However, I did make it clear to Poppy that while she was outside she was not to go after any more birds. We had quite a conversation!! A lot of different miaows I think she was trying to say she didnt mean to harm the bird!! For a couple of days I only let her outside with me supervising her. For an 18 year old she is remarkably agile.
Just bringing you presents. Thank her and tell her not to eat the rats and mice. Sounds about right with the cat food. Tuns is more satisfying because it is all protein, the other sachets vary in quality, it is important to vary the cat's diet and also include some good quality dry food to snack on or cat treats, depending what your cat likes. Maybe a little cooked chicken or other meat. Poppy likes the chicken skin and flesh when its warm. Will not eat raw meat at all. Just gradually introduce other foods. You will soon find out what your cat likes and dislikes. Cats only have a small stomach. Poppy eats when I eat but also loves a late night snack!! Then has late breakfast next day. Best wishes.
My ginger cat Nitro just recently brought me in from his outside cat enclosure a big mouse or rat? It was alive so I had to chase the mouse around my bedroom for 1 hour before getting it and putting outside the front yard! 😂😬🤣
Try get a body leash and take you cat for a walk , they wants lots of tree and bush around to feel safe. They love it and girl come by to ask about the cat too.
opposite, i had guys give me the thumb up sign, why? show bravery i don give a F what people think , i walk right by them they do stare and talk about it , but never try to aim at me. another good thing if you walk around in a in a grassy area, resident see you can feel at ease cause the crime guys hate animals, cop too see he cat at parking lots me walking it by the grass think nothing of it, long ago yo staying a pk lot, in the car causes sucpictition. you need a visible reason to hangout as dog walker are everywhere and nothing . @@Faizasmith-pj4dz
never on the sidewalk, only the empty side or corner of a slow park. but, the older cat couldn't go to the park unless you got a body lease, their need trees and bushes or they will run off when scare. try on the small yard they can go by the plants , if their too afraid , of noise and people give up. you can lose forever, and it be your fault. tif they get afraid slip out of lease as that what they try, it takes about a yr, but still it's a risk. get a cat carrier as a start and see how they like it, but need a body lease out if it all the time.and next to you as you need to watch for dogs or people getting close that will frighten them. @@Faizasmith-pj4dz
My cat makes me feel very guilty every bite I eat they think they are supposed to eat they eat to much my cat is 33 pounds in so glad to hear this thnku
A cat needs to jump about, and if it’s carry all that extra weight like us it was struggle you are giving a far too much food for the cats sound good. You need to measure it so she gets a weight down. I was the same with my cat, so frightened of the cat, being hungry, I left food down all the time and now people say is she fat or is she pregnant? So I have started being a little bit more mindful of what I give her
I had an orange tabby make it to 33 in Cali-- indoor cat.. and was later let out by the boss there and disappeared almost immediately.. ( to which I make that boss wish he had never been born.!!)... I can't go back to cAli ever again- because I WOULD end up in jail for murder...
I had a singleton who was the meanest kitten I ever had. After two failed attempts at adopting a kitten companion for him, I found a bold little stray from the shelter. The new kitten changed the behavior of that mean cat. He started to mellow, and he now even comes to sit by me and beg for pets. He's sweet and loving now that he has a friend. Competition for attention changed his demeanor and made him a much happier cat. They play and keep each other company when I'm not home. So I wish I had adopted two at the same time. Live and learn.
Did I see, included in this video at the beginning, a person with a chocolate desert allowing a cat to lick it off of her fingers?? Chocolate is poisonous to cats. I suggest you edit this video and cut that out. 'Everything' matters when it comes to the health of our cats.
How I keep my cat happy? He goes in/out of the house that's how. To lock a cat up all day in a house is abuse IMO. And I don't want to hear oh it's not safe for them. You driving a car everyday there's a chance you could hurt yourself too.
😢😭Dear you, not to make anybody feel bad but the cats are inside home pet...the whole trick of having a cat is the great time together ...they are animals of love...starving them is so not okay, no, no.
Julie, I don't think that's the point at all. Sorry, but I have to say that letting cats roam outside is not only dangerous for them but wreaks havoc on the bird population. Respectfully, maybe you should listen again. It's all about making indoor cats happy and giving them a stimulating environment.
No mention made here of ALPHA or pack leader. You MUST act and control the animal in a commanding way. Otherwise the animal will think themselves as such and can start treating you with discontempt.

My friend left dry food out all day for his cat and it lived until he was 28.
This is a very good video thank you. I will forward it.

Was it the indoor cat that developed cancer, or the traveler? please.
Thank you for these wonderful tips to care for indoor cats. I love mine and I want to give them a good life indoors.
There's nothing wrong with offering outdoors benefits also... just have to be safe and know your cat
Very enlightening! Thank you!!! 🙂
This is very good! Thank you.

Try using a empty tissue box . Put in some treats + put it upside down. They push it around till there all gone. Mental stimulation 😊
Thank you for the advice !
They do strategize second move. Very true
Thank you 😻
Nice tips!!
I give my cat meow mix,little friskies and treats
Thank you
Nice vocal narration👍

Is that too much for indoor cat

Yeah! And... why do you show so many cats outdoors?
Try get a body leash and take you cat for a walk , they wants lots of tree and bush around to feel safe. They love it and girl come by to ask about the cat too.
I want to walk my cat but was afraid people would think I was nuts.
opposite, i had guys give me the thumb up sign, why? show bravery i don give a F what people think , i walk right by them they do stare and talk about it , but never try to aim at me. another good thing if you walk around in a in a grassy area, resident see you can feel at ease cause the crime guys hate animals, cop too see he cat at parking lots me walking it by the grass think nothing of it, long ago yo staying a pk lot, in the car causes sucpictition. you need a visible reason to hangout as dog walker are everywhere and nothing .
@@Faizasmith-pj4dz
what they are starting and talking about is how in the world did you train the cat , it diffrent
never on the sidewalk, only the empty side or corner of a slow park.
but, the older cat couldn't go to the park unless you got a body lease, their need trees and bushes or they will run off when scare. try on the small yard they can go by the plants , if their too afraid , of noise and people give up. you can lose forever, and it be your fault.
tif they get afraid slip out of lease as that what they try, it takes about a yr, but still it's a risk. get a cat carrier as a start and see how they like it, but need a body lease out if it all the time.and next to you as you need to watch for dogs or people getting close that will frighten them.

Cat usually do not get fat. Only when they are neutered
If you're a cat person, you're probably a good person!
I had an orange tabby make it to 33 in Cali-- indoor cat.. and was later let out by the boss there and disappeared almost immediately.. ( to which I make that boss wish he had never been born.!!)... I can't go back to cAli ever again- because I WOULD end up in jail for murder...
Introduce new scents, no food 24/7, game night, height
What is your guys opinion on having two cats for indoor?
Many people say it's cruel to only have a single cat indoors.
always better to have more than one because of single cat syndrome!
I had a singleton who was the meanest kitten I ever had. After two failed attempts at adopting a kitten companion for him, I found a bold little stray from the shelter. The new kitten changed the behavior of that mean cat. He started to mellow, and he now even comes to sit by me and beg for pets. He's sweet and loving now that he has a friend.
Competition for attention changed his demeanor and made him a much happier cat. They play and keep each other company when I'm not home.
So I wish I had adopted two at the same time. Live and learn.
@@melanieweicker1574 Thanks for your feedback

I wish everyone had two are more cats. They are a lot happier

I agree. I'd much rather dangerous freedom myself, over safe imprisonment.
We have enough of these videos on RUclips stating the same things.
In many categories. It's all for mind control. I get it, the controllers think we should behave this way. The repetition keeps us mindless.
😢😭Dear you, not to make anybody feel bad but the cats are inside home pet...the whole trick of having a cat is the great time together ...they are animals of love...starving them is so not okay, no, no.
they didn't say to starve the cat. Watch again! 🙂
Cats are not supposed to be inside home pets ffs !!!, that's the WHOLE point of this great advice.....jeeeeez

Do not give your cat catnip!!!
Why not?
Why did he get too feisty? My cat stalked me once. It was rather disturbing.
Thank you
Thank you
