Which of these female cat facts did you find the most fascinating? 😺

I have noticed that my female cats tend to want to go with me to the bathroom, just like a group of ladies going as a group to the restroom. Funny little fact.

My Precious lived 19 years...well into old age. She slept under the blankets with me & was a great comfort to me. She felt sorry when I had periodontal surgery...put her head on my shoulder & a paw on my cheek. She probably smelled the state of my gums. She felt bad for me, but what a comfort! I'll never have another like her. Right now I'm left with 4. 2 ferals (born outside) & a kitten I kept. Three are tuxedos & Bella (who's unrelated to mama & her oldest/youngest son) is a striped tabby I guess but not orange coloring. THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS & WARNINGS.

I was told by my vet that only *20% of orange tabbies are female* . I adopted Solis (Latin for sun) at The Humane Society. She was separated from other kittens because she was being treated for Giardiasis. Solis had her last dose of medication and was cleared for adoption. She was all alone and I heard her muffled little meow from behind the plexiglass. Once I held her I could just feel she was the one. She'll be 1 yrs old April first.

38 years wow! That is amazing 👏 May all the cats live that long and be healthy.

My cat chose me when I was looking for a kitten to adopt. She sat on my lap purring for hours and walked right into the crate when I came to collect her. She was like you are my mumma. 😆 She's almost one now, female tabby ❤

Female cats are less likely to be adopted because some people don't want to deal with them when they're in heat or pregnant but neither want to spend money spaying them. Also they usually state that "males are more independent, hunt more, and like to explore outside more" so basically, males are more desirable for these people because they're easier as outdoor cats because their owners are not willing to take care of them as much.

My pet cat Fuzzy is a calico. When she was pregnant, she held off giving birth until my girlfriend and I were home from work. She got in our bed with us and meowed and we made a comfy little box and then she started to give birth. When the kittens got older, Fuzzy really wore her mom hat and taught them so much things. She had taught the kittens to jump atop our 7 ft refrigerator to steal my potato bread (my girlfriend didn't believe me until I recorded it). The amazing part about that was the kittens who couldn't do it right away. She taught them to jump on the table and then jump on the refrigerator. Once they got to the top she would jump up, pull them down and have them do it again until they mastered jumping. When we had disgusting neighbors who had pet mice (that they left when they moved out causing an infestation) Fuzzy wasted no time teaching the kittens how to hunt them down. Weirdly, she would grab a mouse go over to the kitten she wanted to teach and drop the mouse next to them and block off any exits to the mouse so the kitten would learn the basics of hunting. She even wanted us to visit her in her box when she was taking care of the kittens. We used to not do it as we didn't want to confuse her by putting our smell on the cats. She would come to were we are and have us follow her and visit her and the kittens. When she wanted time to herself she would come into my home office or the living room where my girlfriend was and drop off the kittens until she was able to recharge the batteries. The trust she had in us was astounding and really opened my eyes to how cats can really be affectionate, intelligent and warming to people.

My male cat Matty went missing 9 months ago. Reading all these posts about cats is really making me miss him even more. 😭

My beautiful cat has 22 years, almost 23, now. Sleep almost all the time, but is still a wonderful companion.

I think how affectionate a cat is definitly depends on personality and how they were treated. For example, 3 years ago I was adopted by a beautiful female Lilac Lynx Point Siamese. She'd been abused by former owners (based on her extreme reactions to innocent actions like putting a shoe on and spraying perfume) and eventually abandoned in my neighborhood. I was out walking one night and she followed me home. It's been 3 years since then. She's very attached to me, my sister and my mom. When my dad comes home she hides from him. She can be very loving (and protective) cat, however it does depend on if she likes the person. Males and strangers are a not welcomed by her.

My first cat was a female outdoor cat named Queenie. (We don't live in an area with too many dangerous predators) We always left food out and let her choose when she wanted to come in or stay out. She would come in when weather was really bad but preferred to stay outside and catch her own food most of the time. She had a litter of kittens and raised them all by herself until adoption. Amazing survival instincts and the smartest cat iv ever known. She passed away at 20yrs from old age. I feel like she lived life to its fullest.

My cat Luna was a rescue. My next door neighbors moved and just left her outside. She decided she was then my cat, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. I cannot fathom how humans can be so cruel. She’s the most affectionate, nondestructive, smart, and wonderful girl. I feel so lucky to have her, honestly could not ask for a better cat, and we made a pact that she’s going to live forever, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pets are like small children. They: * have feelings just like humans * love to play * get into mischief * throw tantrums * want to eat your food too * love to be the center of attention * can be happy to see you come home * can get excited when going to see Grandma/Grandpa * can get excited to go to the park * can be stubborn and not listen * hate going to the Dr's (vet) * have accidents * go to daycare * can love/hate baths * wake you in the middle of the night * run to you when scared ... just like a toddler. Did I miss anything? lol My only kids are my feline furbabies. :-)

My cat died last year while I was out of the country, she was 17 years old when she died and man I sobbed like a mad man when my mother phoned me that morning... Unfortunately I had to deal with that lose alone until my partner got back from work and I could get a hug and tell him... She was named Ceafa and was only a year younger than my little sister.

My baby is 6 months old now, I found her in the middle of the highway scared to absolute death, starving, and traumatized. She was only 8 weeks old. She is a very light toned tabby and absolutely gorgeous with an attitude to beat the band but she is also incredibly affectionate. I named her Kia because I rescued her in my Kia Forte. We bonded immediately, honestly she's changed my life ❤️

I have always had male cats..this time at the shelter, even though I went for an older black male, I ended up with a little grey 6 years old female and she is the most loving and funny cat I could have ever asked for:) Its the cat, not the gender I think

My dad has a female cat named Kevin. I went to the pound with my dad to pick out a kitten. We chose the most affectionate kitten there. They had her notated as a male, 4 mo old, orange kitten. When we took her to get neutered from the same location they called us later to tell us we owed them extra money because she was female and they spayed her, instead of neutered. We told them they had informed us when we purchased her that she was made so they waived the extra fee. Now our female cat is named Kevin.

I have had male pet cats with maternal instincts. I've seen them guarding and watching over newborns and kittens. The most amazing thing i've seen is when one of my male cat watching over 3 small kittens saw them almost at the edge of the balcony (we used to live in the 2nd floor of an apartment building). He rushed to them and one by one and carried them back to their nest. Sometimes he'd just block them from getting near the edge.

3:27 The Meow Meow noticed the drum 🤣🤣❤️

Really enjoyed this video. Learned new facts. Thank you!

I have a female cat, she's extremely affectionate. That whole "males are more affectionate" thing is just a myth.

My dad's cat is 19, she is beautiful with such a kind nature. A little slower these days, loves rolling around in the sun and staring out the window.

My beautiful cat 'Princess' was abandoned in my neighbourhood and as I was not a cat person she soon won me over when she used to visit and ask for food. She also used to visit a old Tom who lived in the gutters eg no other cats did. She was so amazing and I lost her to a car hitting her. When I broke my ankles and come home from hospital she slept next to my ankles for the next two weeks. ..I still miss my 'Princess' her so much.

As a cat owner, I found female kittens become more cautious because of their maternity instinct since their young age. They learn to keep themselves safe even with their owner to protect their kitten in the future.

I have a torti named Bella! Her father was named Squeek and he was one of those super rare male tortis, and her mother was my beautiful Siamese named Cotton .. I don’t have a point , I just like talking about my cats 🥰

My cousins had a litter of kittens and there was this beautiful white calico female who always was so loving towards me. I assumed she was like that with everyone but then I heard my cousins talking about how anti social she was and how she hated everyone. She looked a lot different from her mothers and siblingss so I think she may have had a different father (we did see her mother coming back home with 2 different toms once). I miss my Cleo

I had named my Bellatrix (Bella for short she responded to both) after the witch in Harry Potter. She was a Grey Tabby as in her markings were tabby like but just all silver grey, instead of orange like other tabbies.(Her 3 brothers were colored and marked similarly just with a varying amount of orange on them) She was a tall cat sitting at 12-15 inches. Sadly she gave her life protecting her two kittens at the time and I wasn't around to assist (living on the rez many dangers not just other pets). I still have one of them, she isn't as tall or as long bella.

I very interesting little videos great information thank you for the tips

I mostly had female cats growing up. They were all sweeties. Some of them even borderline clingy. I miss every one of them. The toms too of course. I'd trade anything to have them back.

I’ve always had cats. Males and females. All spayed. They are long livers with Scnapps, a ginger, who lived until he was eighteen. Scnapps came to stay for a weekend. He just never went home. Presently my shorthair tabby, Macy is 16 years old and very agile for her age. Molly (I didn’t know it was nickname for females) was given to me by a friend. She is a Torte and came at about 16 weeks old. She is now 4 years old. She plays and chases Macy who is not always pleased about it but has enhanced her live very much since her arrival. They have very different personalities and I wouldn’t change them for the world.!!!!

I see what you did in the title! Good one!

My Tori female’s name Lucy. She’s the most unusual cat I’ve ever had. She doesn’t me-mow and does not purr. Love her personality ❤️

Right after Hurricane Nicholas passed (Tuesday, September 14th, 2021), a stray Torti found me and cried like she had seen a murder, and when walked into my apartment without hesitation. I took her to the vet the next day for a medical assessment, to check for a microchip in case she was a lost pet, and to gain information on her age, type, and best care practices going forward. It's been almost two weeks now since we met and her name is Macchiato because, despite how hyped up and jittery she was when we met, she has been nothing but mellow and sweet afterwards -- and with me having been a Starbucks barista for almost nine years, it seems like a perfect fit. She's my first personal pet, too, and I could not have asked for a better one.

My childhood cat was a white female named Sassy (named after the iconic cat in Homeward Bound). She lived up to around 20 years & was the most affectionate cat ever! She'd visit me while I slept & would sit in my lap. She'd gobble up turkey during Thanksgiving even when she no longer had teeth. She was motherly to us kids & the other cats our family eventually adopted (2 males who unfortunately did not live nearly as long due to urethral blockage). I was heartbroken when she passed but so grateful to have shared such a bond with her during my childhood & early adulthood. Years later I still see her in my dreams & out of the corner of my eye sometimes. I believe she's still watching over me, & I hope my current cat Rudy has her blessing to live a long life as well.

Fantastic Channel, in my recommendations. The Beloved Creme Puff and owner Jake, who lives in Texas. I think he had another Cat that was a record holder. Have subscribed. Looking forward to watching your other videos. Cate from Sydney Australia 🐾🐈👏💗

The ad placement here was perfect “they have 3 nicknames… no flip, no cap, no mess”

There's a cat that lived 38 years, why haven't people study in great detail how these cats lived so long? If there was a 200 year old person, people would be interested in how they did that. I want my cat to live 38 years, damn it.

After watching this video, I told my (neutered male) kitty he needs to get a job and help support his HuMom. He gave me a look implying that he's too busy running the household and guiding me through life, and besides, earning filthy money is molly's work.

Love that video

My cat is male, neutered, was mostly outdoor and got cancer in June but somehow these factors keep him alive to today

Number 9 is heartbreaking. I’ve always had male cats, but my mom has a female cat and she is sweet and affectionate. I hope the rate for female adoption goes up, they are such sweet animals overall regardless if male or female.

You’re right- cats DO deserve to rule the internet. I’m glad you said it out loud!

I really like 😊what you post here. I loved all the precious little felines - thank you❤🐈🐈🐈

I have 3 cats, two males and my baby girl. I had been wanting a girl for a long time then I got one last year. She’s absolutely gorgeous, naughty but intelligent, brave, and lovely. She used to follow me everywhere when she was a kitty, and she still likes to stay with me most of time after she became an adult. She knows I love her the most 😊

My indoor/outdoor calico lived 19 years. Super sweet and affectionate, she was the most amazing soul that I had the honor of raising. I miss her laying Next to me everyday!

My childhood cat was the best one I’ve met in my life. He was already interested to lay next to me when I was a baby and since I can remember he slept next to my head on my pillow….every night. He had the warmest and most loving purring, paired with his face expressions. He always came to comfort me when I was crying or upset. Fiete became 21 years old and I miss him 😕

I learned a lot thank you

I adopted my kitten 10 days ago, unfortunately I wasn't able to see her until I went to pick her up because of covid protocoles, but as soon as I saw her little face in the pictures the people from the shelter where she was sent me I fell completely in love with her, and now she is here with me sleeping in my chest and I couldn't be happier with my little baby🥺❤

In 2014 I took in a pregnant tiger stripped kitty and she had 4 precious Manx babies (Daddy was a neighbors Manx). I kept her and 3 of her babies. When I brought her 3 babies into the house, they all ran to my spayed Siamese as their new mother. It was hilarious. These 3 babies suckled my Siamese for 5 years! I asked the vet if this was ok and he said if it wasn't, the Siamese would stop them but she never did. Nine years later and they don't suckle anymore but one of the kittens (grown now) still follows the Siamese everywhere she goes. In 2016 I brought the spayed momma inside, who wasn't one of my favorites at the time. She is now my favorite as she always cuddles as close as she can to my back when I sleep and her purring helps me sleep. She's not as pretty as the rest but makes up for it in personality. I love them all!

I purchased my little darling almost 2 months ago. She is bringing me so much joy and doing wonders for my anxiety. I just love her to bits.

Actually, "bella" means "pretty", in italian we use "bellissima" to say "beautiful" 😉👍

Love this - thanks so much for this vlog!

I had a Bella growing up in Germany in the 60s. She was pure black and a genius. I could make up all kinds of games and she would play them with me. Like chase, she would chase me. She also did what I call Hitchcock cat, where she freezes in her tracks if I'm looking but continues to stalk me when I go around a corner. We remember them like our children.

I have a Siamese Lynx Point female named Bella. My son got her as a kitten, but I have taken care of her since she was about 2-3 years old. She is 8 years old now. The top of her head, ears and back have the tan and brown color of a Siamese, but her face, legs and tail look more like a grey tabby. There is a line on top of her head between her ears that separates the tabby from the Siamese. She is very talkative like a Siamese, and she has beautiful blue/grey eyes. I had her for about 6 months before she would even let me pet her a little, but she would jump in the laps of women. One day, after about six months, she jumped in my lap and purred and let me pet her. I felt so honored that she would let me love her. Now she jumps in my lap every day and wants me to scratch her stomach. She sleeps with me most nights. When my alarm goes off in the morning, she meows and wants me to rub her back. She has become such a sweet cat!

I grew up in a very rural area and there was always cats around, but with (ahhem) brief lives. We did not let them stay in the house. Fast forward to now...We have four mostly indoor cats. Two of them turned 10 this year! My girls Silver and Marmalade (SHE'S an orange 'bullseye tabby) were strays who arrived at our house within about 4 or 5 months of each other. Marmalade was malnourished and had lost part of her tail at some point. She's super affectionate, chatty and would rather hang out on the porch than inside. Silver is The (feline) Queen (we have an older boss dog). She used to wander, but a glacing encounter with a car(we think), about 5 years ago has caused her to stick VERY close to home! She is a Grey tabby who distinguished herself with our Vet because she had a unique internal organ configuration. Her bladder and uterus are fused together! He said that it was a first for him. I don't think Silver cares.😅 Keep these great videos coming!😻😻

I have a long haired black female cat named Sonja Morgan (Sonni) and she is the sweetest girl ever. Every morning when I m drinking my coffee and reading she will sit on my porch with me just waiting for people to walk by. As soon as they do she darts down the steps and takes the belly rub position. Most of my neighbors know her as well and some have changed their walks just to stop and see her. I was told by our neighborhood cat lady she is a Tiffany Chantilly, I don't know about that since we got her at the Humane Society, but I do know she is as sweet and loving as any male cat there is, she changed this decades long dog person into a cat and dog person ❤

I used to have a calico and I named her Bella. I miss her everyday❤

About 27 years ago I was going to get a kitten from my Aunt. One of her momma cats had a litter of 8. They were half wild and after almost 2 hours of trying to catch the one I wanted I finally just decided that whichever one I caught would be the one. It was a Tortie. When we got home I looked and noticed that it was a male. Hubby didn't believe me until he checked. But I decided that I would let our vet confirm. Once at the vet, he kept telling me that it was near impossible that my Tortie was a male and that I was wrong. That is until he checked. His eyes got big and he looked at me then said in a hushed voice, "This Tortie is a (slight pause) male!" Named our Tortie 'Patches' and that cat became best friends with our Great Pyrenees/Collie mix female. Our blonde dog would lay down and our dark cat would crawl up and lay on the dogs shoulder and they would nap like that for hours ☺️ Our dog was quite sad when Patches disappeared. But at least I have proof that we did once have a male Tortie 😎

I have an adult female cat named Punkin, I adopted her from a family that wanted her to live with a single person in a quiet home. Which would explain why she's scared of anyone but me. I've had her now for 3 & a half years. And, I care for a female stray outside, I named her Muffin.

I have 2 cats, both female. The oldest was the runt of the litter, born on 2004, and climbed up my pant leg to fall asleep purring on my arm. The second was born in 2012. I adopted her from the shelter when I was looking for a new kitten to keep my older one company. When I looked into the case, she stopped playing with the others and started scratching at the glass to me. Both my cats chose me and are alive, happy and well.

My soulmate cat came from a shelter that I wasn't allowed into because it was during the height of the pandemic in 2020. I saw her picture on a shelter page on Facebook and I just fell in love immediately with her confident little stance and her big, curious, bright eyes. I KNEW she was the one. As soon as I got to pick her up, she was screaming up a storm and climbing all over me. She's now 2.5 with an adopted brother and I've never been so in love with a pet before in my entire life. She's legit a part of me now. Junebug, a chubby short-haired calico. 💞

3:27 Cat :"Say what!?" 😆😁

I had a male calico when I was about 6. We called him Patches. He sired a litter with the stray who lived under our house. One of them was a female calico. We called her Patches Junior.

Had a black spayed female cat named "Inky". She lived to 20-21 years. She was dumped on our doorstep and after opening the door to see what was mewling, in she walked, this tiny kitten, went straight to our other cat's dishes, helped herself and was home for good!

yes, my little girl's name is Bella. thank u for the video! 🧡

I laughed so hard at the Maury reference and show clip! My friend and I joke about cats being on his show all of the time! Haha! 😹

I had a kitty named Bella. We took her to the vet and had to change his name to Chase. Turned out Bella was a boy. Such a pretty kitten, it's taken us a while to get used to calling him Chase

I once knew a lady ginger kitty who appeared to be a stray, but hung around me and my mom all the time anyway. Then, she made of point of "introducing" her kitten to us! Female kitties can definitely be affectionate. :)

I have always been a dog person until I met my girlfriend. Her family was all about cats and her older sister had a female that kept on getting pregnant while in heat. After giving birth to her first litter and not being able to keep the kittens we originally wanted, we settled for two male kittens.. but it didn’t work out. We gave them both away to a pair of friends that lived together. Next litter, my girlfriend knew exactly which kitten she wanted. I on the other hand was unsure. I was struggling to choose between two kittens. The first was a very beautiful tri-colored kitten and the second was light grey white white stripes and dots all over her body. I was really tempted to choose the tri-colored because of her beautiful coat but the more I got to spend time with the kittens, Nova chose me. The gray kitty started giving me every sign telling me she wanted to go home with me and be mine. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t see them much so they weren’t used to my touch and all kittens would try to run out of my hands as soon as I picked them up and so did Nova but the more time I spent with her the less she did it and the more she’d curl up into my chest. Long story short, I’m so happy I chose connection over any other reason.. she’s the best decision I’ve ever made.

My tuxedo female is Rose. Love that name and she is so cute. Good video, thank you

I have had 2 male ginger tabby’s who were very stand-offish and I had a gray female tabby that would cuddle with me at the end of the day….she was my sweet baby girl….she passed too soon at 8 years old of a kidney disease….I was so heartbroken 💔….stood firm to not put my heart through that again….fast forward 20 years and this past January my adult son adopted a rescue and the first time I saw her as he presented her as a gift to me ….my sweet long haired tuxedo is soooooooo affectionate and bonded with me…..She has rescued me💕

I need that Cream Puff Diet.

Amazing creatures

I Love the purring

Doesn’t females in general when it comes to mammals live longer than males, not just cats? I know this is the case for humans as well at least

3:40 All female animals, including humans, generally live longer because they have two X chromosomes. In other words, if one of the X chromosomes has a defect, the other can act as a substitute. Increased testosterone and cortisol levels are also negatively associated with decreased life expectancy. All in all, it sucks to be a guy sometimes.

We rescued a pregnant black cat and named her Bella Notte (after lady & the tramp = "beautiful night"). When we adopted out her kittens, 2 of the girls were named Bella after their Mom, and a boy named Bela Purrgosi (after the famed Hollywood monster actor, Bela Lugosi, as well as being Bella Boy, after his Mom)

Had a black and white cat named Luis, he died at around 7yo because of a heart attack :( he was my first cat and i loved him so much. After him I decided to adopt a cat from help a organisation🫶🏻 Her name is Sheela and shes a Calico! I didn‘t know Calicos are seen as lucky cats when I got her so I‘m pretty happy to have her now. And we also adopted a street cat named Pinky when she was a baby because someone threw her under our car :/ so now we have two lovely ladies at home ♥️

*sigh* a lot of people are going to think I'm pathetic but I lost my kitty to breast cancer 3 years ago this November. I still cry over it. She was ornery, cuddly, independent yet slept on my mom's legs. "Tortitude". I still miss you, Princess Fluffbutt. I think I always will. (Actively crying like an idiot)

My cat Snickers is a girl and she’s the most affectionate and loving cat I’ve ever known. She’s such a sweetheart and cuddles with me every night.

My male cats names: CHIP ( aka My big brave boy ) SPLEENS ( my big beautiful boy, and also inspired by grey still plays you tube channel, the Sims series ) SAD BOI (aka, the goodest boi , he always looks sad, but is so floofy and cuddly ) ....my females names ...MITZY ( well she is definitely her own cat) and SIGIL ( the queen, the ruler of all and we are just her lowly slaves) ...all my cats are spayed/ neutered. I rescued Sigil 2 years ago during a brutal winter, I was out in the forest tracking a couple of cattle that had gotten out ( ice made a branch fall and tore open the fence on the backside of my property) I didn't see her at first but my horse did ( my horse has an irritating habit of getting side tracked by little animals, he will literally sniff and try to follow turtles..sounds cute but it can be irritating ) and he stopped and inspected a cat ( Sigil ) at first I thought it was a dead cat..from up on the saddle it didn't look alive , but since he ( the horse) is usually sketched out by dead things, i figured I'd take a look..she was barely breathing, her face was tore all to hell...I couldn't just leave her to freeze to death...sooooo I put her in my jacket, hopped back on Pogo ( horse) and head for home which was about 1 or 1 and half hour ride..the whole time I was thinking to myself " this damn cat is going to warm up and come to...in my jacket...on the back of this horse and all hell is going to break loose" thankfuly that didn't happen. She eventually made a recovery, yes she did chew me up a bit at home, but a few days, warm food and love...she healed up well and has been my forever buddy ever since ( the other cats ? Oh yeah...those are her kids 😑, she was pregnant when I rescued her ) I didn't have the heart to get rid of em. So that's how I ended up with 5 cats. I regret nothing, I love my lil buddies.

Thanks!

My female cat lived to be 18. The vet was surprised since they saw her when we found her and said she would not of lasted more than another night outside.

My cat is always a queen and she expects to be treated accordingly!!

I have just been adopted by an absolutely beautiful little one year old female Tonkanise called Gizmo ❤ She has absolutely stolen my heart and has really helped my depression - I have only had her a week

Cats live long because of their genetics. I've had four cat, the first cat (female) lived 19 years old, and was a carrier of the FD gene (the gene of Scottish Fold ears). In the litter she was born there were three kittens, but she was the only one that was kept alive. I wonder if they were folds, too (My cat was black, the other two kitten of the litter were blue and red. The mum - a feral cat - was a long haired blue tortie. Hearing about different fathers, probably my cat's sibling were regular straight). I had her until last year and i loved her very much. Her name was Goku. A name that brought her luck, i guess. At the age of 8 she survived to cancer. My living cats are 10, 1 and 1.

my Bella was adopted (I did not name her) at 11 months, now 13 years old and so smart, sassy, cuddly and beautiful. ❤️ i hope to have many more years with her and her (non biological) brother Loki.

I've been fortunate to have two cats that lived into their 20s. One passed away about five years ago who was a male, and I have a female that is now into her 20s. You can tell her age as there's more gray and in the head area she's got less fur, but she's still shows so much affection and is the ruler of the roost here.

I love how the black and white cat slowly got up and snuck away 😂…. I would be running away very quickly if a tarantula was starring me in the face 😂❤

My friend: "be careful with Melissa (her cat), she's a feral." Melissa: *rubbing her head on me and doing helicopter engine sounds*

My tabby, "The Claw," was a starving feral kitten when we met. She laid down in my lap and fell asleep, and that was it for me.

We just adopted two black female kittens.... good to know. Our last cat was a sweet black boy cat. New subscriber! Thanks for the content...

That guy gave all his cats that much food and stuff? Clearly the secret isn't the coffee or wine, its the love!

If your cat is pawing at it's ear like the white one please get it checked by a competent vet, my Tabby lady was doing this and she had a check up and the vet said she was OK but may have picked up a flea, by the time we found the truth the tumour in her inner ear was unopperable as it was almost touching her brain. She passed away the night before what was going to be her last trip to the vet.

I think another reason it takes longer for females to get adopted is because it costs more to spay then neuter. I've heard people say this more than once

#2 is the "fascinating fact" that actually broke my heart. TL;DR: had to give up one of my cats for adoption, we think they may have had different dads. I once adopted a brother and a sister from the same litter when they were kittens. Their mom was a stray who was brought to the shelter while pregnant. They got along great, at first. But after a year or so they got extremely aggressive to each other. This went way beyond normal sibling-rivalry. This was screaming, fighting-to-the-death, claws out, growling, bloody and horrific. I had never seen anything like this in my life. First time it happened I jumped in between them without thinking, my arms got cut up and I needed stitches in my hand. The vet couldn't find anything wrong with them. For two years I tried everything to make it work, but I couldn't. I tried *everything*. I refused to give up. Adopting them was for forever. But I couldn't leave them unattended for a second. And eventually I had to admit to myself that trying to force them to get along when they clearly hated each other, was cruel. They were stressed and unhappy, and frankly, so was I. So I separated them. I kept the girl and brought the boy back to the shelter. I remember standing in the parking lot with an empty carrier, sobbing. It was the worst day of my life. Good news though: He got adopted after a few weeks and I received word that he is living his best life with a new family. The girl is so much more relaxed and happy to have the kingdom to herself. Even though it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do, I know it was the right decision. Having to decide which one to keep broke something inside me that hasn't been repaired. They were both so affectionate and sweet towards me, real cuddlebugs, playful and smart, but together it was like the Hunger Games arena. We eventually concluded that they may have been half-siblings after all, since we don't know who the father(s) is/are. If you ever think you should adopt two cats instead of one, please think that through very carefully.

With some of the same cats I mentioned in a comment on the male version of this, I have another story. My cats Sadie and Sassy had their second litters. I can't remember the exact number but I believe one had 6 and the other had 5. Sassy disappeared, leaving Sadie with 11 kittens. Sadie had no problem with all of them, and I observed her. Sadie seemed to have routine where she fed 4-6 kittens and when they were done, fed the other 4-6. This isn't as long as my other one, but I thought it was cool that one cat took 11 kittens.

I miss my grandma's cat. He lived to be eighteen, spending his last two years indoors. My grandma's other cats died before, and like bobby, he disappeared one day and never came back. Rip Bobby, Snowball, and Garfield, you are missed :(

My beloved red Persian cat Sasha lived to be 16, and she was an indoor cat, and spayed. Her successor was my mackerel tabby cat Carol, who lived to be 11 and she was also spayed. I liked the fact that girl cats are right pawed.😻
