I can't believe you really had to explain NOT to physically abuse a living thing but I am glad you did. We live in a time were people let their children do anything and they really do everything. Including hurt pets.

I have many cats spread out between several homes. Many were found outside and have small issues due to neglect or abuse. #1 Lived in my yard when I bought the house. He is approximately 19 years old and lives inside now. #2 Found on a street corner in a pile of snow. His tail was broken. Had conjunctivitis and ear mites. Smelled horrible. He is now 10 and one of the most amazing cats I have ever met. #3 Abandoned near my parents' house. She has a pellet lodged in her neck, and her leg was broken. She is a beautiful loving cat at 5. #4 Adopted from a shelter. Super affectionate and playful. #5 Only surviving kitten to a stray cat. She is a syndactyl. She has a total of 12 toes. Biggest goofiest eyes you've ever seen. #6 Adopted from a shelter. She is special needs. She is deaf and a bit unstable with her balance. She's so sweet and loud. #7 Adopted from a shelter. Completely normal average cat. #'s 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Pregnant stray cat that had a litter of 4. She is so tiny and sweet. The kittens are 6 months old now and doing great. #13 Stray cat near my parents. She is a handful. She's a good girl but a bit much for everyone else. I feel bad that she has trouble making friends. She's loud and aggressively friendly. It puts everyone on defense. #'s 14 and 15 An abandoned 2 year old mother and her 1 year old kitten. They are quiet and like to stay together away from everyone else. They have become very friendly and love to be held. Their meows sound like shoes squeaking on a wooden floor. It's quite cute. I am a cat nut. I can't help but care for them. They are wonderful critters that make my life better.

My cats were never stressed when i rearranged their furniture. Their furniture was my lap..Where ever i was,the cat was there.And welcome to be there too.

I got my first cat at age 5 and have never been without one since. My parents let me take in every stray cat that came around as well. About to turn 64 and have four beautiful cats now. They have enriched my life so much! Cat lady forever. 😻😻

I had a cat left at the house I’m in. This is all very very helpful information so I can truly understand how to care for him. He’s become my buddy rather quickly.

Don’t hurt any animals.

My beautiful Tabby died a few months ago. She was 20 and I had her from the time her Mom weened her. She was a my breath of sunshine. She was never sick, she left me during her sleep. she was so special to me. Fortunately, 5 years ago my son gave me his cat as he was moving on. The two cats loved each other, never fighting and sharing the same food bowl Doobie my cat now is very close to me. He is around l5 years ago but I am not sure. The vet says he is very healthy and I hope to give the best life I can. I am a cat person and will always have a place in my life for a kitty who needs a home. God knew I would get lonely so He sent me my angel cats.

Moving from one house to another really freaks them out.

Our family loves cats and other pets ❤ . My son lives in his own flat. He has a Siberian cat called Olive. I knew Olive from the time my son bought her. Once when my son was going away on holiday, he left Olive with me in my home. At first Olive was anxious (I could imagine her feeling of abandonment) but soon Olive was coming into my bedroom and making sounds of anxiety. So I stroked her and began to play with her.soon she bonded with me and every day sought my attention. We became firmly attached. Now,when ever I visit my son’s flat,Olive greets me with purring sounds of affection.i love ❤️ her and will always visit her to solidify our relationship.x.

We have had our kitty for 10 1/2 yrs she is loved played with we speak calmly to her she has multiple areas to rest. She has toys plus she has a couple of places to hide if she feels threatening 🐱 ❤. She is loved ❤

They are very sensitive really!I have cats since I was a kid!they need to feel your love and respect!

Re: moving furniture - I've noticed that cats are funny, they don't like it when their environment is changed, such as moving the furniture, BUT they also get easily bored! So i try to do small harmless changes that will keep them stimulated, but not stressed. I sometimes rotate their play tower so the the openings face a different direction, or replace a hard surface with a soft one (put a blanket or pillow on it) and interestingly, changing the lighting, for example in a room that gets a lot of light I'll close the curtains, or vice versa. Cats are endlessly fascinating creatures!

I raised my kitty from a wide eyed little fuzzball. I cant figure any reason someone would mistreat or neglect such special creatures. Theyre purrrfect pets. Lol.

Treat your cat like you would your kids...❤

This story about cats is enlightening. I wish I had a kitty to cuddle up to.

I love all cats dearly and with my own cats I am always attentive to their emotional needs. I do everything for them, that is described in this video, and more. I appreciate the person who published this video, I will help you in any way that I can because I want the same outcome you do, I hope that this information inspires humans to treat felines good and healthfully. I hope someone can open their mind and start thinking about how cats are affected by us.

Thank goodness for helping me help my baby, I just love her so much I want her to be healthy, happy, and not stressed out, her house too, she needs the very best.

Pretty sure this script was, in fact, written by cats.

Me and Sissy sitting here sharing your videos. Shes my savior. Helped me thru some tragic times. My bestest lil'babygirl

Samantha, my cat, sleeps on a small pillow (silk pillow cover) next to my head and spends a lot of time curled up on my lap.

If you have to tell people not to hit or kick a cat they shouldn’t have a cat or any pet

Even when you play with the cats constantly, they still have the urge to scratch out furniture.

A safe resting place? I don't own any furniture anymore. I bought a rocker for my back, but can't use it cuz there's always a cat in it! ❤️🐱

As we classify ourselves as animal, we all have these needs. Cats also have personalities like us. Some are extroverts, some are introverts, some are a bit shy but warm up to strangers after a short time.

Our feline girl and boy really are part of our family. Feeding and cuddling these trusting dependent animals is like caring for two small children, yet it's also like having best buddies to hang out with and talk to. For all the love they give (and the health benefits they're proven to provide) to us human caregivers, I couldn't imagine not giving them a safe and loving home.

we have 5 picked up off streets in phillipines as baby kittens..6yrs later they are adults now stay at home spoiled rotten furballs..its ok..at least they are safe.cant hurt a little cat..❤😂

My two angels lived 19 years. I did all the good stuff. I dont know why people dont worship their beloved dependants

When we first got our cat Nico from a rescue he would always love to play with string then as time went on he would get bored of it faster and faster. I have bought countless toys for him to play with yet he has zero interest in them. Currently I have a feather caster and lazer pen which he sometimes goes for but not really for longer than 5 minutes then he walks off. When he comes in my room and meows and lays down I go to stroke him. He loves it but then moves away after about 5 minutes. I go to him and he walks away again so I leave him be. He has a lot of options where to sleep. He has a climbing frame with a small nook to go into. He LOVES my dad's bed when he puts a blanket on top. I turned a 1ft x2ft cardboard box upside down and made a pushable door for him with soft small mattress which he loves to hide in and I have begun work on building him a small outdoor house because when he comes home he doesn't always want to come inside straight away. He has this favourite corner he likes to chill for a bit first so I'm going to place it there for rainy days which will be raised off the ground to prevent the base rotting and getting too cold: It will be properly weather treated too : ] I do worry he's bored but he's always super happy once he's let outside for a few hours and when he returns he's always rolling around looking at us giving the sweetest meow so I think he is happy. Some cats are not that interested in playing with humans.

I’ve had three wonderful cats. They were all rescued from abusive people. This kind of shit really pisses me off! How can people be so cruel!

our kitty is getting her first check up this coming week. She vomited white liquid 1 day ago. She loves to get her back scratched a certain way. We love her so much. She even sleeps with us.

I live in a motorhome with three loving cats, and they LOVE riding on the dashboard watching the scenery. Cats are very intelligent and loving and loyal animals, more so than even dogs in my experience. Unfortunately cats get a bad rap in America, but hopefully that's changing. They are AMAZING!❤

A cat wrote the script for this video.

Wonderful advice... you know them so well! Thank you for the positive and very helpful advice. I have had a cat that was confused after changing furniture in my lounge... when he entered the room, he looked around and was sort of alerted and looked scared, until I talked to him and called him to come to me. Afterwards, after a change, I held him in my arms and showed him around while talking to him lovingly... he was more relaxed. Blessings 😻😻😻

It broke my heart when I came to the realization that 1 of my cats developed jealousy over the attention I was giving the other cat. The jealous cat expressed its emotional hurt towards the other cat through biting behavior when I leave the room. This was totally unexpected, because I adopted two cats so they have each other for company while I'm away at work. They both remained friendly and loving to me, but the jealous cat is very mean to the other.😢

Since one is basically "Don't beat your cat and 2 is Don't starve your cat I figured after that "I'm good". Anyway, my cat is 20 years old and still likes to plop on top of me, so I must be doing something right.

On multicat homes like mine I have to be watchful of bullies or pressure on the seniors. I make sure seniors get their food supervise chow time at watch. Good video. I have been kitty mama over 50 years end always can learn or refresh. 🐈

I walk my male orange tabby on a leash right in the middle of the day. Around all kinds of noise. I did start him off as a kitten learning to walk.

You did a phenomenal job with this video. After almost 2 decades in the veterinary field, you even caught things most don't (give a treat after laser play, etc), and THANK YOU for encouraging veterinary visits. 👏🏻 If you want unsolicited advice, adding that an extra litter box than cat can really help inter-cat aggression. This video was terrific though.

Not getting a treat immediately when it's demanding is definitely emotionally devastating to my cat. Or maybe not throwing her ball back to her the moment she brings it. (Yep, my cat is part dog because she loves playing fetch.) They hate the vacuum cleaner; so I always place it in the middle of the room for a few minutes before starting it so they have a chance to clear out before the noise starts. I love my companions; and can't imagine harming them either physically or emotionally.

I absolutely love cats and I’m grateful to have information about them. All I want is to make sure my babies are happy and healthy.

Cats love it when we change the room. They love it

Great info on the male kitties! Frodo has changed our lives, and we strive to understand him as best as possible.

A stay showed up in my garage. He is very friendly and comes in, but at night he wants back out. I work long hours and think about him all day. Don't know much about cats so I'm trying to educate myself on their behaviors. Thanks for the info

God bless all of you ❤❤❤ I have 5 rescues but I am 75 yo and can’t handle any more. I love happy stories. I avoid the sad ones best I can because I cry 😢. I lost my husband 4 years ago and these cats saved my life. I didn’t want to go anywhere or socialize or go out for anything. I am much better now. 😻😻😻😻

I have been watching your videos about cats. And in one of the videos you asked for comments and I believe pictures of our fur babies. Well my roommate received two kittens from a friend of ours. They are her cats. But a few months after she got them, she had to travel for almost 8 months straight. So it left the cats in my care. During this time the female became pregnant. She had four kittens, one died with in three days of life. The other 3 have been growing strong. Well the female became pregnant again., which I didn't find out until a few weeks. After I had the male cat fixed. She had 5 kittens. So I went from 2 to 10 with in months. When the only male from the first litter became of age to be fixed I got him fixed. After the second litter was about a month old. My roommate came home. Then all of a sudden one of the kittens from the second litter got sick and died, by that time I had decided to make the cat's a wall of their own. A month after we lost Runtz, she decided to re-home the younger kittens. We went back to 5 cats. It was hard for me to pass over the mom roll to her when she got back , but I did. I try to stay out of the decision making with them, for a few reasons, she and I don't see eye to eye about what's best for them. Plus when I was taking care of them. I had spent my small nest egg I had to take care of them and having the males fixed. Here soon we will be going out separate ways. And not be roommates anymore. I'm not sure if where I'm going if i can have a pet or not. But I don't believe she will let me have one of them if I'm allowed. This makes me sad. We both love the cats very much. And they love us. Lately I have been noticing that one definitely of the kittens, female has been peeing in the tub, kitchen sink, the litter boxes, and on things of her's and under my bed. She doesn't have the money nor do I to take her to the veterinarian. Any ideas what the reason could be for this? I will try to send a photo of our babies. Nope doesn't look like I can.

Thank you very much for your help. It really helps me to understand my beautiful cat 🐈

those kitties are just adorable.

my cat is now diabetic and feeding is not an easy feat. He is a free range cat are when he wanted and hunted outside bringing home many dead animals. Now he’s 9 and eating has become hard on him . He is now on a feeding schedule with insulin. i made a few adjustments and he is doing much better. Let’s see what summer brings though when he’s outside more.

I love my cat but I learn a lot about my cat since I started watching these videos.

You're living my dream-life!!! So happy for you and all your babies :)

Can you make a video about befriending cats that live in other people's homes? I want my friend's cat to feel comfortable when I visit.

Wow such sensitive animals unlike all thise other ones that love to be abused, not fed or watered, ignored or out into non safe and violent environments. This really is eye opening 🤦

This is amazing information. Thank you for providing this.

Our 2 cats have no desire to interact with people or each other. One of them will actually howl and bite if I pet her with more than 2 light petting strokes. Neither of them have an interest in playing with toys, either.

They keep score about how much attention each cat gets. They feel slighted or neglected if anyone feels left out.

I,m a new kitten mam to two boys and they are amazing. They are so calm when they are,nt playing. They are loving and so love cuddling. They have mad friends with my friends dog. They love eachother. ❤️

Thanks for all the info! Looking forward to to future posts!

I appreciate all of the effort and work that went into this! I want to love my cat to the best of my ability and it really helps with watching these videos!!❤❤❤❤😊

Laser pointers are bad for cats emotionally as they need the satisfaction of the catch, which laser pointers do not offer Everything else is spot on, great video and advice 👌

Love this! My girls are spoiled rotten! Silver will be 14 this summer and Luna is 4. They are my best friends! I have always had cats, since childhood and I just adore cats so much! ❤❤

Our cat has a bed like you showed. It’s got plush type fur and she loves it.

Our cats and dogs have never appreciated us moving stuff around especially as they grew older

Yep i have 7 cats they are comfy they do have their own spots tney very good guardian walks me to the showers i do care about them.I teach them about their meals and let them understand to slow down on their meals. They love to take a walk which is good for me too.

I've had cats my whole Life. They are awesome! Your videos are very informative, interesting and accurate!!! They are very helpful!!! Thank you for posting!!!❤️🙏🇺🇲

This kind of clear suggestions to be better friends to our feline friends is so helpful. Maybe someone has connections to vet's and ask them to send it as a tip in their newsletter. They often appreciate to receive tips that are worth sharing. Let's spread the word. I adopted Meisje in January 23. She is the funny, beautiful, loving AND free cat that chooses to live with me since then. She is 95% free to do as she likes. Therefore she respects my boundaries like the kitchen counter and the fact that I do not particularly enjoy receiving dead leafs and mice. It is so super easy to treat her with love. I get nothing but love in return. Bonus tip: this approach might work for your loved ones as well. And yourself ;)

Thanks for this valuable information. It was just Purrrfect.

I rearrange things every month because mine love it and will use a box in a new spot that they got bored with

One of my fur babies is very sick, possibly lymphoma. We’re still in the testing phase. She’s lost half her body weight, but we’ve gotten her to start eating again. She’s gained a pound! Please send well-wishes & happy meows into the universe for her. ❤️😺❤️

This is so helpful ❤ Thanks ❤

My current cat, and, well, all my past cats, must've been the exception to these 8 Rules. I immediately establish a dominance with my cat, each kitten knew I was their Alpha, not vice versa. Absolutely none of my cats ever repeated their mistake of which they were scolded for: jumping onto to kitchen counter, stepping into the kitchen area, begging for human food at any time we ate, using my furniture as a scratching post, posting up on my furniture to sleep all day, pooping and/or peeing on my floors or furniture. Each cat that I had actually waited for me to invite him or her onto the couch with me to curl up together for a cat nap. Right now, my old female feline is laying on my left side, touching my shoulder, as I type this. If its done right in the up bringing of your 'fur baby' (I hate that term) then your he or she child should be no different. Don't ever give either an inch until its deserved.

Thanks for sharing this with us.

You forgot to mention making sure their litter is scooped daily and the box itself is washed regularly (and not with anything toxic). I use Seventh Generation Free and Clear dish soap

I love your videos! Unlike videos by another popular cat care person on KZfaq (that always make me feel terrible that I’m not doing enough for my cat!), your videos educate me.

Love the two little kitties between each segment. xo

Auto sub, like, share. Yes we have a few cats from rescues. If you just watch, and are sensitive, your cats will tell you much about what they like, and what they want.

This was a very well put together video. Thanks for the information. I have a 4yr old cat.

I can’t imagine what emotional wrecks the thousands of feral cats in Australia are. They have a serious feral cat population in Australia.

This was great information. I knew about most of it, but there were some things I didn't know.

My cat sleeps and has slept on my chest for over ten years now.

Whenever my kittie needs a small space from noises and light she goes under the couch in a crate I made for her. She has never used the cat beds I have gotten her. She prefers to either sleep in my bed with me, her wall cave, her crate, or on my clothes.

Unfortunately, the switching food gradually thing isn't necessarily an option if the one they're currently on is giving them urinary crystals and your vet told you to switch completely to a medicated variety for the sake of your cat's health. Had to do that with my cat recently.

They forgive you if you make little mistakes, it’s all about making sure there are good overall feelings. You can discipline them in a way, but keep in mind that after a few minutes they’re not going to see the connection to what they’ve done.

The pair of british blue shorthaired kittens are just gorgeous. I think thats the breed. Not sure. Adult eyes are amber.

I love cats and have a cat now. She comes in n out. She even looks both ways when she crosses the street. I moved a year ago and my girl went thru all kinds changes, but just made a safe place for her. She was in the basement for a couple of days. Once I had my room set up and a cozy place for her and brought her up. She's fine now, except when our dog tries to come into our room. He knows better and she'll chase him out or goes under my bed. I know the signs of distressed animals. When I was 16 yrs old, my dad was out hunting and found a Great Horned Owl with a compound fracture of his wing. I lined up the bones and duct tape to hold it closed. It healed good and was able to use it, but I fed him too good. He got too heavy to fly, we had a cage fer when he felt threatened. We even let him outside to walk around whenever he wanted. He didn't try to leave or fly. When his wing healed, he did a dance spreading his wings. It freaked me out, until I realized he was showing me he was ok. My friends would bring mice to feed him. He would click his beak like smacking his lips. They brought him a rabbit one day. Which I cuddled up with on a couch. My parents said, he's owl food. I sat it on the floor and said ok Hoot. He dropped off his perch and his beak pierced it's brain, instant death. Then ate the brains like candy. That was terrifying, because he was a wild predator. Except Hoot never hurt anyone, I was the only one that could touch him. I pet him like a cat. Feathers felt like fur and affection was new to him. Knowing cat characteristics helped immensely. We found out they're protected bird. When fireman came in to check fer fire, the outside was set on fire by an arsonist. DNR came to take him and charged my parents for it, but the vet said he would've died. Also said, whomever set the bones did a really good job and saved Hoot's life. We're Native American Indian and did have ceremonies while he is our symbol of death. We won and could take him back, but would have to build an outdoor cage. We lived in an apartment that no pets were allowed. They farmed Hoot out to a zoo. As long as they take care of him. He was the largest owl I ever seen in the wild or in captivity.

I got a two month old black kitten, he's a rescue baby kitten, I try to play with him when I can, or mostly all the time

Our cat Willow often sits on my chest in bed and purrs in my face at 4am in the morning, I always stroke her until she’s had enough and wanders off to go back to sleep 😂

This the cats need, Bless you...

They are very precious!

My rescue cat does not know how to play really. He does play with a little soccer ball occassionally but is terrified of interactive toys. He looooves being groomed 😊😊😊

I need helpful advice. My home of 34 yrs burned due to an electrical short. I have 2 females, cinnamon 6, wicca 4 & a Tom named Silver who is a bit slow (special needs) but very affectionate with me but was very combative during his stay at the vets when he was neutered. I am very attached to all 3 of my cats and i have a border collie Dixie 7 who is my diabetes service companion. We were all able to get out safely thankfully since the fire started around 3a.m. when Dixie woke me up. None of the 6 smoke alarms performed & yes, they had fresh batteries. Dixie & i were approved to live at the nearby Womens Shelter for nearly 4 months awaiting a low income apt to be available but i couldnt take my cats. I walked 3 blocks one way everyday to feed & comfort them. I made them a shelter with thick dry straw, & self warming blankets making them as cozy & warm as i posibly could with electricity no longer available. I bought hand warmers and heated bricks wrapped in towels to keep them warm & built fires we sat around cuddling for hours. But i still feel so guilty. I have an apt now but only Dixie, as my service dog, is allowed. My cats & i are very close. Its not their fault nor mine for our predicament but i honestly dont know what else to do. I hate the thot of placing them in a shelter. Theyll think i abandoned them and its too far for me to walk to see them. And I dont think Silver would be welcome becos of his past behaviors from homesickness. Any helpful advice ould be greatly appreciated.

And speak to them sweetly like you would to a human baby.

Thank you for the valuable information!

you forgot don't yell at your cat, cats don't understand english' don't i repeat don't declaw, talk to your cat in a normal voice

Great info!

My 3 cats love my couches and my bed but will leave if I’m restless!❤😊

I have met your checklist so far and mykitkit is a pampered little litty princess
