Saying "cats do not care about their owners" due to their behaviors is like saying "introverts do not care about having friends" due to _our_ relatively asocial behaviors.

Probably the most harmful myth I've heard about cats is they can be raised on vegan diets

Black cats are jut as awesome as other cats. Some people can be so stupid.

One time I was having a moment and I started to cry, a lot, and my cat came in my room and sat with me until I stopped And a different time, my bedding was being washed and I had to use thin blankets, and my room is in the basement so it’s really cold and my other cat came in and later with me to keep me warm Tell me again that they don’t care

It's true unfortunately that black cats are often not adopted from shelters as much as other colours. But one person who worked at a shelter put the black cat's name down as Jellybean. This raised a lot of interest and the cat was adopted the same day. After this the worker put down the name Jellybean for all the black cats and they got adopted as much as the others. What a clever idea.

Believe it or not In Scotland the myth about black cats is completly reversed. I used to believe they brought good luck simply by crossing my path. I was happy when one did so there you go.

Why do some people “hate” cats? I can understand if they don’t choose to have one, but to hate all cats is something I don’t understand.

8: My one cat comforts my one dog who is scared of thunder. To the extent that he licks and rubs her to calm her down...

In Japan, black cats bring luck

No one can tell me cats don't care. My first one woke my roommate one night when I was sick in the bathroom, and my second one "guarded" me as I recovered from surgery in the Living Room. The one I have now isn't a cuddler, but she does it when I'm not feeling well.

when my sister passed away three years ago, I got home from work and sat on the sofa, crying. Within two minutes, all five cats were rubbing around me, nuzzling me, or cuddling close. They knew and cared I was sad.

I have had 3 black cats. They are wonderful!

My first cat was a black cat and he was so handsome--the best luck i ever had was him. Sergeant Patrick Harper was his name and he was my baby boy. I loved him and i am so thankful i was his owner. unfortunately i found him dead June 12 2015. Though he is gone, he is not gone from my heart.

The cat being fed with chopsticks melted my heart. Holy damn, that was incredibly adorable.

After about 17 years of owning various cats, I had the privilege this year to adopt a black cat. He is the most affectionate and snuggly cat I have ever owned. Am blessed to have him, and will definitely adopt as many black cats as I can in the future!

Video: myth 10: cats don’t have nine lives. Me: clicking on this video was a mistake

#7 is partially true. While cats are solitary HUNTERS, they aren't solitary SOCIALLY. When left to their own devices, stray and feral cats naturally form "colonies", where there's safety in numbers. Also, queens will get help from others in raising their kittens. The problem with comparing cat and dog behavior isn't so much in the whole "pack versus solitary" debate, it's over their comparative roles in the ecosystem. Dogs are descended from wolves, an apex predator; cats are descended from wildcats, a non-apex predator. Dogs can afford to be over the top and obvious with their social cues; cats are more subtle, because excess barking and lots of bouncing and motion might draw the attention of a passing predator. For example, dogs show that they like someone by bouncing and wagging their tail and licking them and just generally acting hyper and excited when they see them; cats communicate the same thing by laying on them, turning their backs to them, or slow-blinking in their presence. All of those are signs of great trust, if not affection, in cats; but if you don't know what you're looking at, you might miss it.

I don't think anyone actually believes that cats have more than one life. I think the "nine lives" thing came from their ability to get out of situations that other animals can't. It comes from their agility and speed, not a sense that they actually get reincarnated. I think we need a video titled, "Old Sayings that People Shouldn't Take Literally."

In my opinion, black cats are some of the most beautiful cats

2:50 black cats are some of the sweetest cats I’ve ever met, black cats are one of the best thing in this cruel world❤️❤️❤️❤️

Cats are not allergic to milk, they are lactose intolerant. Milk allergy is an allergy to either casein or whey in milk and causes hives, breathing problems and other allergy related problems. Lactose intolerance is the body's inability to digest lactose and causes various digestive issues. Thought I'd clear that up.

I'd be screwed if black cats brought bad luck. I own three and two follow me around everywhere. The shelter near me wont sell black cats around halloween cause people kill them.

We recently rescued a black cat. For years I’ve always wanted one because of how gorgeous they are. He is the most cuddly, hyper and adorable kitten in the world.

Fact: all black cats are in fact baby I swear on my life every single one I've ever met was the sweetest little thing.

Black cats are most beautiful and lucky too

anyone who thinks that cats "don't care" need to watch the vid of a cat defending a child from a pit bull attack, it's freakin awesome!

The only time I remember a black cat *ever* giving me bad luck was when I knelt down in the grass while wearing jeans to pet one. That one was on me.

"Pregnant people shouldn't have cats." ....wait what? That's a myth? I've never even heard of this phrase!

Black cats are super, super cuddly little love bugs. Also, cats in feral colonies will take care of each other and nurse the kittens of other mommas. They're not necessarily solitary. They just need it proven to them over a period of a few months that even with this other cat in their home, they will still get fed.

11. Cats love boxes. Wait a minute...

I once had a black cat that was born in Halloween that shared my life.I miss him.

I don't think people actually believe cats have 9 lives.

I actually like black cats more. They're usually more friendly, I had a really creepy looking black cat who liked to follow me around when I was a small kid, she was actually larger than me at the time because she had really long legs tail and body. Too bad she suddenly disappeared, she was my best friend for so long, I learnt to parkour just chasing after her whenever she got bored. Heck, I could walk on railings at the time.

Black cats are great

People don't bother to clip their cats claws, then get mad at them for clawing everything. They think those claws magically stay one length on their own.

I have a black cat. His name is Sam. The legend is not true. He is da best kitty ever!!!!!!

I own a black cat and I love him to pieces! He’s goofier than any other cat I’ve met. He loves giving cat kisses and sleeps anywhere in my bedroom. I adopted him from a rescue and have never regretted my decision.

It's also a common misconception that cats cannot climb _down_ trees. Have you ever seen a cat skeleton up a tree? Of course not. The cat climbed down. It may have had a bit of hesitation, but it found a way.

If cat's don't have the red cone, why do they see lazer-lights??? E X P L A I N-

The 9 lives myth comes from the thought that witches were able to transform into a cat 9 times. Also, black cats are considered good luck in Scotland.

my cat fall from 6th floor apartment.. survive without injuries like a boss... talk about 9 lives...

I have a black cat called panther

I got my little black kitty Nemo he came up to me while I was outside and he’s been an angel ever since ❤️❤️❤️

Black cats do in fact bring bad luck. 1. When you're walking down a dark path you can potentially trip over them and hurt both you and them 2. (Hopefully this goes for ALL cats though), they bring bad luck to your wallet from spoiling them rotten :) 3. You can get mugged for food at 3:00 A.M. 4. _they steal your socks_ This is just based off of my encounters with Mr. Whiskers, a stray black kitty who was left behind when his family moved from the neighborhood. I've already got a furball of my own, otherwise I'd take him in. Right now I'm in the process of trying to get him to the no-kill shelter so he can get his shots and get cleaned up so he can find a new, better family who hopefully won't leave him.

Who the fuc* believes that cats have nine loves

I'll never let my cats go. Ps one of my cats has one eye ❤️

This video has ensured me that I’m getting a cat. I NEED a cat.

if i ever get a cat..its gonna be black and im gonna name him “Midnight” dont judge me its a cool name

The "cats need less care" just refers to that you don't have to take them out to potty twice a day.

I would only point out two things: feeding a cat vegetables can be as harmful as giving them milk (cats are strict carnivores, unlike dogs); and while dogs and cats can get along, dogs are still one of the top killers of cats. Don't just put a cat (or even worse a kitten) with a dog and think they'll be alright together.

Black is my favorite color and when looking for a cat to adopt I wanted a black one more than anything. I recently got an all black kitten. Lmao sometimes I can’t see her sleeping on my all black sheets.

Every time I change my hair color, my cats are scared of me. I have to chase them down, and talk to them. To show them that I'm the same person , that I was before I colored my hair. I have twin British Bombay sisters.

With regular vet care, love, attention, diet, exercise, etc. your cats can live as long as mine did and are. Oliver was 20 when we helped him over the rainbow bridge after arthritis set in. Sylvester was 19 when we helped him cross over, too. Cancer is a cruel disease. Mr. Punkin and Sox are each 10 years old now and as frisky as kittens. ALL 4 are and were a joy to be around and have given us 20 years of unconditional love and a butt load of entertainment!!!

Traditionally in England black cats are good luck.

"Milk is bad for cats" Explain why mine keeps shoving his head into my bowl of cereal every day I have cereal and is completely fine.

I plan to one day adopt black cats from shelters.

I have had a black cat before, with a ginger cat, both of them born in my apartment's basement and getting starved by thier mother. In fact thier whole bach was getting starved. I took them in and named them Sam(ginger cat) and Strider(black cat). We never knew exactly what gender Strider was because she (we think she is a she now since she looked pregnent right before we let them go) was always feral. Sam had his trust given to me, but Strider hated all humans. Once, though, I tried to pet her with a toy, she was angery and scared at first, but then she let it pet her. Pretty soon I was petting her without her knowledge. When she looked, she was shocked for a bit, but then licked my hand! After a few hours, she curled up next to me and slept next to me!!!! I gained her trust... then she woke up a bit later and it seemed like she forgot about that whole moment... oh well.

Cats can also see ultraviolet. When you put on sunscreen, it may be invisible to you but to your cat, you will look a little strange, as if your face and body have paint on them.

Black cats are the most affectionate creatures I've ever experienced. They are so beautiful and majestic. I have had the privilege of enjoying many years with black cats, and other colors, but my current black cat Whisper, is one of the most loving cats I've ever had. He loves me so much and I can't imagine my life without him. Cats rock!

I love black cats and we also have one before, and his name was blackjack.

Thank god for someone speaking sense about cats!! I used to have 9 cats! 3 British Shorthair and six Burmese. Then Dec 13th 2016 my oldest Brit age 15 decided her time had come and wanted to join her twin who died age 9. Eight days later my 4 year old Burmese girl developed Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) due to Taurine deficiency. When cat food was first made public there was no Taurine and cats died. humans need it too but we can make it from the various foods we eat and turn it into different peptide chains to make Taurine. Cats can't and like us they need it for myocardial (heart ) muscle. Her cardiologist recommended euthanasia, I couldn't agree, so we left it that we would make a decision later that day. My little one fought hard to live and surprised everyone by coming home on 7 different types of medication. The cardiologist was sceptical as he thought even he couldn't cope giving a small cat this many tablets. She was the size of a 4 month kitten, always was a little one. I had worked as an anaesthetic nurse in a human operating theatre and used everything I ever learned to nurse her. I stayed up every night for 6 months feeding her hourly, brining the water bowl to her. she was so weak because of the enlarged heart and being on diuretics (water pills) to drain excess fluids from her body. I'd count her reparations in a human around 20 is normal, in a cat 20-40 is normal. I'd check her paws to see how her peripheral circulation was. Kept her by the radiator, it was winter in Scotland. She was fussy over what she ate. I found myself cooking her bacon at 4am, so desperate was I to make her eat. I'd make her baby porridge - cat milk plus human baby porridge oats dried and whisk them up so they frothed and microwaved them for around 20 seconds until warm, just as a babies bottle. I have adorable photo's of my little one with her porridge face! At her 6month check with her cardiologist he was amazed, her heart muscle had repaired it's self about 98% he had only ever encountered one other cat in 15 years that had done the same! much to my amazement he hugged me and kissed my cheek saying the only reason she was still here was because of me???? I just did what any other owner would do ? 3 months later out of the blue all the glands in her neck became swollen. Her vets thought it was Lymphoma bur every test came back negative. They even took her popliteal gland (humans have the same) behind the knee, too dangerous to take from the neck - it's so vascular. Even it came back negative. She became unwell and sore when i picked her up (pain in chest area) she spent a weekend at the vets hospital, got her home for one night and she was back in with a desperation rate of 49 (remember I said 20-40 normal for cat) she had fluid in her lungs, there was talk of a chest drain to remove fluid, but the diuretics (water tablets) worked and she stayed there another two nights as she was to see her cardiologist later that week. On the day he called and said she looked good that was am, by 13.30 I got a call to say get here PDQ, her right heart has stopped working, kidneys shut down and other organs are following fast. When I got there he got my husband to hold her and he hugged me. She was struggling to breathe, but he said she calmed down a bit when i got there. She looked so ill, one of her pupils had delated and I held her when she got the injection to stop her suffering. I was told my voice was the last thing she heard and I told her how much I loved my best ever poppet. I told him after that last time she was home she ate some litter, it's called PICA and he said the tumour that appeared out of nowhere must have entered her brain. I should also say that all my other cat looked after her too, they washed and groomed her, kept her warm and if she was incontinent of urine when 1st home they washed her tail end too. They loved her as well. It's only been a few months and I miss her and weep for her often. My cats come and curl unto me when I cry. They are such amazing animals and for as ill as my best poppet was after her first few months on the Taurine she was her usual self, chasing the others , feisty, nipping at the heels of the youngest cat who was 3 years at the time. She just loved life.

I find it odd that cats can't see red or pink, because when I was a little girl we had this beautiful Long fured black cat and there was this Hot pink pillow, She would sit on Knowing she like good.

This list left out the myth that cats steal babies’ breath.

I have a black cat too. His name is Jimmy. He has a little white spot on his collar, and two going down his belly. As a result, he always looks like he’s going to the opera.

I actually never even heard of the pregnant woman myth lol

I must be a cat! I can't digest lactose, either.

Sadly I've heard so many people saying that cats are aloof, stand-offish and only interested in the food given to them. Having grown up with cats and shared my home with cats most of my adult life I can say that if you show love to a cat it will return that love with interest. A good example was one of our cats - 'Pollux' (he had a brother called Castor) who would greet me at the door when I came home from work. He wanted to be picked up and cuddled, and he would purr his head off. He would follow me around and would lie on my chest, gazing into my face!

#3 I hate this, my whole family is scared of black cats😭

my cat is sick please pray for him

"Cats have nine lives" is false ?? Thank you for revealing us the truth dude !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a black cat, a tortoiseshell and a grey cat. Out of all 3, the black cat is the sweetest, gentlest most polite cat I've ever met. She never bites, greets us if she's in the front yard when we come home, and waits patiently for her food (she's more well-mannered than some people I know!). She even happily greets the other two cats when she comes in and even gives the dog face rubs and smooches. She's very affectionate and even quirky. She's a beautiful little kitty and I love her so much. She's my precious little fur baby!

The nine lives myth is so obviously fake that it shouldn’t even be on this list WOW ITS THE FIRST THING ON LIST IM DISAPPOINTED

Just wanted to add something here. While black cats certainly had a bad reputation back in the middle ages, ALL cats were considered evil. People would gather around churches and cheer as cats were tossed to their deaths from the roof. This was such a frequent occurence in Europe that the population of cats nose-dived during that time, so much so that's it's linked to the Black Plague being able to spread as far as it did. Vermin carrying the disease, with no cat to hunt them down, became overabundant and infested streets and homes more than ever, taking the plague everywhere with them. So yeah, superstitious believes backfired big time...

I have a black cat named shadow i have three cats and i dont believe that black cats are bad luck and it upsets me the stuff they say about black cats

Cats are the best! 😁👍🏼

And that window cleaner playing with the black cat by running the brush across the window...what a neat way to entertain a cat *and* get a quick laugh!

My cat is quite aloof lol He's cuddly when he's hungry

We adopted our cat Medb when she was 5 months old. She is a black cat and was listed as "shy". I went to her cube and she reacted to me as if she had been living with me for ages practically saying "Dad get me out of here!". Anyway we started her on what I refer to as a high protein neurological diet designed to encourage intelligence. Thus far she comes to her name, will beg for food when I tell her to say please, if I say brush she will present her sides and back for grooming, and when I say "birdie" she will get into position to chase a LASER dot. She follows me everywhere and watches me when I prepare dinner almost as if she needs the skills for when she is reincarnated as a human. ;-) She is so bright behind her eyes that one wonders if she is really more human than cat.

My grandparents (grandmother especially) love cats. They say that black cats that like you bring extra good luck. They currently have three cats. One of them is black with long hair and no tail. Her name is spooky (aka: spook, pooky, pooky bear) and she is the most loving cat i know. When i get a bit more financially stable i would love to adopt a black cat (or any color for that matter).

I have a black kitten. He is the sweetest thing and loves cuddles so much. I didn’t even realize how little black cats are adopted until the shelter workers almost cried when my husband and I wanted him. He’s only been with us a couple weeks but he’s just been the best boy! So glad we adopted him!

I love my cat:)

Another myth is that cats won’t get stuck in a tree or roofs. I had a cat that could climb up a tree but couldn’t figure out how to get down.

Cats have a very limited scope of human vocabulary. My cat looks right at me when I talk to him and it's just a noise. He just meows at me. Cats are not "dogs with a bad attitude." They just don't understand words.

My cat was not good with dogs* when we adopted him, but my dog is more if a cat and really loves cats, and can handle rough playing cats really well. *kitty was returned to the shelter TWICE before we picked him up, the second time was because he "terrorized" their large dogs. I think the dogs just didn't know how/when to play with him and when to leave him alone, plus he's a very dominant personality, so our very submissive little dog was the perfect fit. They're friends now

This whole time I believed cats had nine lives. Thank goodness a channel like this exists or I'd still be in the dark...

If you are hand raising/feeding a kitten, use KMR, Kitten Milk Replacer. It is the closest thing to their mother's milk.There are even bottles made just for kittens.

2:44 ME shows this to my grand ma who thinks like that SHE:*ITS A FAKE VIDEO, DON'T BELEIVE IT *

In my country, it's more traditionally believed that cats got 7 lives. And for you who said no one believe cats got multiple lives, some traditional people do. There's even a myth in my country to not let a cat get near a dead body, because some people said (or lied or told, who knows?) that when a cat gets near a dead body, the dead would be resurrected for a mere second before going dead again. Because the cat actually inadvertently gave one of its lives to the dead. That myth sure is very interesting when you want to make a fantasy story...

"Cat's do not have 9 lives" What?? Are you saying that clan leaders from Warriors don't come back to life 9 times?? My life is a lie...

I have 2 black cats and they are so sweet and i love them just as much as my tabby cat.

I rescued a shelter kitten years ago and later discovered she loved corn on the cob. I volunteer at the local shelter (please help and volunteer wherever you live). People frequently come in and look to adopt black cats. Play music for your cats. This is one of the best entertainment you can provide your cats whether they are alone or have roommates. It is definitely stimulating them. I even play it at the shelter where the cats there need socialization. They all love it.

Seriously I found an abandoned kitten less than a week old, fed him Kitten Milk Replacement with a doll baby bottle plus liquid vitamins. People told me he would not survive. He grew into a big beautiful cat and lived to be 17 years old!

black cats are not bad luck

Thank you for the green peas idea! My cat, rescued and now older than 22, loves Coconut Bliss Ice Cream. And salmon.

I have a pretty kitty, my "son" CJ. We've had him since he was eight weeks old and he's about six years old now. He's a chill cat and usually gets along with our other cats and dogs. My boy is the sweetest thing, whenever I'm ill or distressed he'll want to be picked up and wrap his arms around my neck, pressing his head against my neck and purr up a storm. :3 He even enjoys chilling with strangers and visitors. He's a good boy, good kitty. I love my CJ. 🐈

I’ve been pretty sad. I had two cats and one of them ran away a few days ago. I generally hope he comes back.

3:04 black cats are the least adopted really? We adopted to black cats 2.5 years ago and they are so sweet

My female cat knows the sound of the opening of the milk jug and comes running and meows until she gets some milk. Though she has never had any digestive problems it seems she doesn't drink it like she did when she was younger.

I have known several cats throughout my life and my first pet is my black rescue cat Basil and he is the most sweet and kind natured cat I have ever known, I've never known cats could be so affectionate. He cuddles me all day long and most days I have to take him to his litter tray because he doesn't want to stop showing love :)

My black cat, Sam, had a red package bow as his first toy. His entire life he loved bows. He always picked out the red bow(s) first. He knew the red from the rest. He then had a sort of pecking order to playing with other colors if there were no red. Green, then blue, then gold, and then white. Not bad luck at all. Sam was the greatest blessing I could ever have. He passed at 19 years and 9 months. I miss that boy every day! I love my current two, but Sam was just so special. He picked me out and owned me.
