In my DARKEST HOUR I reached for a hand but found a Paw. Be kind to the Feline!💕🐈🐾🌹💯

Declawing is barbaric 🥺 💔

Cats are east pets 1. Truly love them 2. Keep litter clean 3. Let them be 4. Don't over feed. But give them as much water as they want. 5. Toys and treats

My MainCoon Manx female would come in my room at night and lick my eyelids,eyebrows and crows feet. It was ruff at first,but I got use to it. To this day The area around my eyes don’t fit my age. She also would smell me come in the house,after sweating outside and lick the sweat off anywhere on my body. I miss Snuggles.

This was a very informational video, I learned a few new things and was reinforced with facts I was taught and use daily. For 13 years I took care of a Feral colony of no more than 25 cats at any time. I had babies brought to my yard by their Mama"s when they were ready to ween them. It was clockwork two or three Moms had two litters a year and 2 to 3 weeks apart. I'd start petting the kittens, holding them, etc., to socialize them with humans. It was also to get them adopted and keep the colony under control. I'd trap those that decided they were just wild and free and they were Spayed/Neutered. EVERY cat has its own personality, unique traits, color, markings, wants, and needs, you name it. And they gave me much happiness and at times heartbreaking grief. Best of all I had great success in getting so many adopted each year. I also came to own 12 of my own from the different mamas, only 2 of them are with me now. If you take the time to watch your cat and pay attention to how they act and responds to things, it will become a relationship that flows along easily. I'm lucky my cats are so in tune with me, and vice versa, that sometimes it's like we can read the thoughts of one another. I am so blessed.

I just got my first kitten 2 weeks ago. Boy did I have Cats all wrong. They are the perfect pet and friend ever. The cuddles and playing I am enjoying so much. Still have to get a name for her something besides "the cat". I fell in love 10x over again. Thank you for all the information provided, very useful.

Jack was one of the popular names. I named my cat Jack because I rescued him from the shelter on Christmas Eve. Short for Jack Frost! Truth be known, my grandchildren and I needed rescuing ourselves, grieving for their mother oh, my daughter who has passed away. Jack saved Our Lives, bringing so much love and joy to us all. It's funny but he has a definite different relationship to each one of us, instinctively knowing what each of us needs.

We have a neighbourhood cat that makes constant visits with some of the families on the street. Our house is the first on his route. He comes to me for belly rubs and affection in general. Sits on our laps, stands on guard on our front lawn (As if he's protecting us). He gets a few treats and then he move's on. I've even seen him wait at the back of the local convenient store waiting for a tin of food which of course they give him with pleasure. This cat is the highlight of my week. I always look forward to his visits.

Open cuddles are good. They should be free to come and go. And I proved it's good because my male cat Frito is completely non-aggressive with me and "talks" at me to let me know if he wants or needs something. He had a UTI that I didnt know about but he kept meowing at me really loudly and not snuggling as much as he usually does so I took him to the vet and got him fixed up

Very good 🐈🐱Thank you Animal Wised 😁

THANK YOU for reminding folk that laser pens are cruel and frustrating to our feline friends

My Mrs would tell my cat "No" and "stop" if he was doing something wrong but i always just say 'Be a good boy" and he reacts a lot more positive to me because he associates the words good boy with getting a fuss and love. Now my Mrs does it the same way as me cause she saw it works better.

My kitty loves her cuddles and clings onto me. She also comes and kisses me.

Around 14 years ago, I was adopted by the runt of the litter from a local farm. She came up to me, sniffed my hand, and let me pick her up. She became my best friend, and a part of my family. We've been inseperable ever since.

My cats were the sweetest babies. The never hissed, never swung their claws at anyone (even if i accidentally hurt them because i wasn't aware they were there), hung out with strangers, and let me bath them and clip their nails with little fuss. One even would even try to get in the bathtub with me when I took a bath and play with the water. And one loved belly rubs and would nibble if I stopped. They were siblings and good with other animals and a foster kittens that stayed with us. I never considered myself a cat person before, but they acted very similar to dog, always following me, sleeping with me, and wanting to play (to the point they were wrestling in my room at 4 am and I had to kick them out where they would cry to be back in). I always feared my next cat won't fit my lifestyle like those two did. Ps, you say they hate onion, but everytime i dropped an onion, they kept trying to eat it. . . they were weird ones.

I miss my friends’ old kitty, Kitty The Kitty 😂 the part about belly rubs reminded me of her. I was there on the day they started fostering Kitty (adopted/rescued off an older relative) which was a stressful day for the poor old lady cat. But just about every time I ever saw her after she settled in at the new house, she would floop over right in front of my toes and let me rub her belly just for a minute ❤️ what a sweet ol girl she was

My cat used to be OBSESSED with corn to the point to where If she got a corn cob she would drag it to the hallway and *growl* at anyone who went near. Not hiss, *growl.* don’t think she is as obsessed with corn anymore, but she used to lol.

declawing is like cutting off human nails. trim their claws instead. like how humans trim nails. that's not too much of a work if you trully love your cats. saves you and the other cats from scratch without damaging their anatomy.

I can't say I learned much but id like to throw in with my current cat treating cats like other cats would (rubbing them with your face etc) helps build a bond very quickly in the early stages

Nothing melted my heart more than my beloved Hendrix bringing me gifts of dead mice rabbits squirrels Chipmunks.

Respect their personalities and they will be in the middle of you!...had 4 at once and they were great 👍👍

I’ve never been bitten by any cat I’ve owned… but omg have I seen them attack others and it’s hilarious! They warn you many times before doing it. So if you get bit… your bad

Always adopt litter mates. Besides needing your 20 minutes minimum attention from their human daily they need another kitty of their same age and size with whom they can enjoy like play and play fighting to practice their cat skills with.

Great video 👍🏻

A friend's cat took a total dislike to me - and only me. He'd walk into the room, rub up to everyone, hiss at me from a couple of metres away and walk out again. It was amusing if he'd rub up against me and THEN realise who he was rubbing against. (stop, "oh shit", and walk away). Their other cats never had any problem with me (2 of them run to greet me and demand attention - I'm the only visitor one of them does this with)

Declawing should be illegal. It is also unethical. You’ve totally lost my respect!!! Declawing is amputation of the digits. It’s not just taking their claws out. Please don’t ever do this to your cat. It’s very traumatic to have this procedure done. When you declaw a cat and that cat has shown behavior that you don’t like it will start biting more. I am so utterly disgusted that you suggested cats get declawed. It’s unnecessary and cruel. You are cutting off the first joints of the paws it’s a very sick thing to do. Many states have made this illegal and many vets will not do this anymore. Thank god

I agree about declawing, if they run away like mine did she would have not been able to defend her selfish when she was gone for for 48 days luckily she was able to defend herself and found herself home

I 💘 Love 🐱 Cats they're very unpredictable my sister and I adopted a stray cat he is a blue cat he was a kitten smokey is a easy going cat and very therapeutic for us he is older now so he likes to cuddle and go to sleep on my slippers cats are excellent companions

I've had cats that liked tummy rubs and cats that didn't like them under any circumstances. Even the cats that liked tummy rubs liked them when THEY wanted them. My current cat likes her tummy rubbed in the process of greeting. She also has to be petted until she falls over sideways at least twice before we can go further inside. She'll then show me her belly in a particular way if she wants it rubbed, much like a dog. She was an adult when I adopted her, so I wonder if she has been around dogs. I know she did have a problem getting along with two other cats in her previous home, but I don't know the details. She is the only cat I've ever had that will accompany me on long walks, which also seems like something she might have learned from a dog. I knew a dog that had to lick himself all over before going to sleep because he learned that from the cats he grew up with.

Very informative video, and I haven't even finished it yet. I like to learn about my critters and why they do things or things I may be doing wrong. I have a 14 yr old calico and an 11 yr old grey, both are long haired. My people I call them! But the calico won't let me brush her any more and gets mats. What a mess! She watches the grey get brushed but only allows me to barely touch her with the brush. She used to get brushed daily and allow me to cut out occasional mats. Not this year. I keep trying tho. Have tried a softer brush, rather than a wire brush, but no go anymore. I have a comb like tool to remove mats, it has a razor between the tines but the razor never touches skin. It's just for removing mats or hair between the toes of my golden retriever( otherwise he gets clumps of snow sticking to his paws and has trouble walking in the snow! Picture him walking, or trying to with a snowball under each paw. That's what it looks like and looks very uncomfortable. The razor comb I described prevents that.) Yeah, we like all kinds of critters. But All are Loved Equally. :)

Smashingly cute videos

39:13 The best suggestions you offered IMO : Respect their space and Strive to understand their language. (thank you for this with us)

Love your videos

This is really interesting

These videos just make you want all the kitties

I want to speak from personal experience on one thing that I think all cat owners need to understand. Cats experience complex emotions, in the same way that you do....They're easily on par with most humans in terms of intellect, and they display complex social behavior, and the ability to express and understand a wide variety of gestures... They feel anger, jealousy, fear, confusion, anxiety, and sadness, loss, depression, and when it comes to memory, few other creatures can compare to a cat's ability to remember things over their entire lifetime. This is why it's so important to guard against being negligent with their emotions.... Most people customarily will "home" new kittens as soon as they are able to eat solid food... This is often due to the necessities of keeping with the rules of the place where they reside. However, occasionally people will separate a new litter of kittens from their mother before they've finished weaning.i must warn against this practice! This is no different than taking a newborn from its mothers breast, and will have the same negative impact on a cat that it will on a human. Doing this can cause a cat to suffer a lifetime of debilitating anxiety and depression.... If you can, it's recommended to keep kittens with their mother either until their mother begins to show a reduced interest teaching them, or 3 months after they're born.that way, they're more emotionally prepared for the experience. Whatever you do, DO NOT EVER SEPERATE A KITTEN WHILE SHE OR HE IS ACTIVELY NURSING, OR IS STILL SLEEPING NEXT TO THE MOTHERS BELLY AFTER NURSING... GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO "SAY GOODBYE..." The unnecessary pain and suffering you will save them cannot be overstated. Thank you!

Just love these cute #shorts

Great video thanks 👍🏻

And yes! Please let kitties be with mom long as possible :)

Finally got proof that smoking around cats is BAAAAD! I always figure it but never had concrete proof. Thank you! Also you have to consider the genetics of the cat that may not be social. I don't think you mentioned that but a lot of cats are put down do to not have a positive personality.

Cuteness overload 😻😻😻

This is a terrific video. Thank you!

my cats both love belly rubs, my girl will lay curled up in the middle of my arms and tap my hand until I put it on her tummy, if I move my hand away, she wakes up and taps my hand until I put it back. my boy likes my hand there as well and curls around my arm and "hugs" me with his tail.

this is a quite long video

I totally agree and I still have scars from where my cat would just attack me. I guess some sort of relief from aggressive behavior. I would have never had her declawed though!! 😢

Cute and adorable 🥰😘🥰😘

yes ABSOLUTELY i agree beyond all, percentages.

Not everyone has space for multiple litter boxes! Fortunately, my cat used to do her business outside in the garden.

Our dog a golden retriever is a inside and outside dog. He is never on chain and he is free to go as per his wish having everything always open to be wherever he like. He also have his doghouse with large wooden platform where he is spending most of his lazy time sleeping or just being there. The doghouse roof is extended covering big part of the platform making him enough shadow and protecting him from direct rain and snow. When was cold raining or snowing he often sleep inside it on a mat or in a house in living room on other mat near the fireplace. He had a kind of routine predictable behaving but at once it changed. I noticed it on a first snowy day of a last winter. He was fan of snow but last thing he would do is sleeping on his platform and letting wind snow cover him and this was exactly what he was doing. I call him to come to house but he just rise the head and remain there. He even remained there over the night what he never did before. He has his dog door and could enter house any time as he always did - he entered house and get his food and water but as he finished he return to his doghouse just look trough his house door inside and lied in front. I call him to get in the house but he remain there. I decided to check his doghouse to see is his mat wet or something other making him not to enter inside and inside was a cat i have never seen in vicinity with three just born kittens. My dog gave her his house his mat and guarded her and her babies - outside was freezing prognosis for the night was even worst and I could not leave the cat and kittens outside and i took them in the house. My dog follow me in step. cat and kittens got a basket with a pillow near the fireplace and cat got cat nursing food as recommended by vet. Dog was always close with a worrying facial expression as checking everything is OK. As kittens grow he was babysitting them guarding them and taking care of them. on their first tree climbing he was out of himself worrying about their safety more then their mother. He never stop taking care of them not even now when they are a year old. Mother cat and her babies are our cats now and remain on our property. They are cats having their own dog. He is so happy being their own personal bodyguard and never stop guarding them and taking care about them.

Thank you. I love you for this message

Why do the people in the first vide6 allow the cats to bite their hands?

😻😻😻

Im a good cat mom ♡ I really was not even a fan of cats. We moved from New Hampshire to Florida. And when I looked to find a house for myself and my 3 children the house I found said that I could have cats and dogs, upon signing the lease they said no however the lease didn't. I knew I would be able to hide a cat. Much more easily than a dog considering it would be inside all the time. So we adopted a cat from someone who developed allergies. We had him 7 years and only him. Then my daughter was with her friend They were exploring an abandoned building and they found a litter of kittens that were Inside the wall of the house. They removed the kittens and my daughter literally snuck one in the house. I said absolutely not at first but then I gave in. I'm so glad I did. That house was demolished a few days later and the kittens would have been inside the wall. The mother had gotten ran over by a car. So we had the newest member and we moved after being in the same house 9 years. I got the new cat fixed Literally the same day we moved. I was so relieved and Two weeks later, my daughter finds a litter of kittens under the shed to the new house we moved into The mother had abandoned them there were four kittens. I said absolutely not. I can't do it. We just barely got Tiva fixed. I ended up once again giving in I fell in love with them. So now we have two cats four kittens. I will not take anymore, but I'm glad I've been able to give them an excellent life and will continue to do so. I'm obsessed with all of them. Enzo. Tiva. Playa. Baby Bear. Meow and Tiggy ♡ I do feel bad about the laser pointer though my cat's I thought absolutely loved it.

Ty! I adopted a cat yesterday and hes so cute!

If my cat hates me i don't want to know, I am a cat servant, i feed them, change their litter, and in general caterer to all their needs.

that poor cat at 15:11. He just looks BEYOND annoyed and in his head he is probably plotting on his human.

Well does kittens like belly rubs?😼

My rescue stray Tabby is indoor/outdoor b/c he came from outdoors so I let him out. He used to come back at night and sleep next to me but now he goes out late and comes back in the day. I miss not having him around at night mostly b/c that's when I would like to snuggle.

Thanks!

Cats and dogs couldn't be more opposite. A person who always has to be "large and in charge" or a "control freak" is better suited to be a dog parent. 🐕 Being a feline parent means being willing to allow the cat to take the lead. Learn to read their eyes and body language. They will show you what they want. You will soon get the feeling they are speaking to you.

Sadly my cat HAS to wear a bell because he is a very good hunter so the sould of the bell will warn the wild life, an inconvenient sacrifice for my cat but another bird lives.

Cats are very smart. I have three atm. (possibly about to have four cuz a wild tuxedo cat keeps coming to my house for food) they are two kaho manees and one orange tabby. They actually know several tricks, use the toilet, go for walks on leashes, and atm are beginning to learn "word buttons" so they can tell me things to communicate better. they have five words they use and are learning two more right now they are"-toys, treat, i love you.(wich is used when they want love petting and attention), litter(when its dirty) "and the new ones now are "walkies and bedtime". so It's not too hard to train cats. If i can train mine anyone can ...im super lazy lol😂

Woah 100 is a lot of facts your very smart!

Cats aren't subtle about their affection at all, in my opinion. Some humans are just arrogant and ignorant. My first cat saved my life from a dog attack when I was less than 5. This big Doberman got off his chain and went for me. Knocked me on my back, and bit my upper lip open bloody. I thought I was going to die, and then all of a sudden there's this yowling noise that I recognize. It's the Cat I've been bonded with since he was a kitten! He was his litter runt but grew to be a 20 lbs Tom, and in a flash of orange he's on top of this violent mongrel mutt sinking all of his claws in. He's polydactyl, so that's even more than 20! The dog goes from trying to maul me to whimpering, and howling as it runs the hell away! My cat SAVED MY LIFE! So, yeah, if you treat cats right they'll definitely let you know they love you. Without training my cat risked his life to save me. Without the promise of a treat. Cats love us more than dogs do.

Dilated pupils doesn't always mean fear, it's mostly a sign they're in evening or morning hunting mode.

Instead of declawing, there are alternative and humane ways to address unwanted scratching behaviors in cats, such as providing scratching posts, regular nail trimming, using soft nail caps, or behavior modification techniques.

Mini Tiger 🐯 Very interestingly, All tigers don’t like socialising or Attention all the time, Specially when inside their cave.

Trust is what Cats give off and expect from their owners. The little bites is a sign to fyi the owner they would never hurt you of the mini bite. Licking you is how they take in your scent and then immediately lick your scent on them for other cats to know who their protector is.

I agree with you on that. Declawing is so barbaric.

Cats does not like clothes most of the time as well as spraying water or bodies of water in most cases is very stressful to them. Just let them be. That makes them happy 😁 Pd cats are not the living being that likes being made to do something!

I just got a new kitten. My 5 years old cat it is very territorial and she 100% of times responded aggressively (without violence) to other cats and dogs. Surprisingly when the kitten arrived my cat was hidden all time, she didn't show any aggressively. I kind of push my cat to make an old ritual we have (hold her on my bathrobe after shower ), she didn't want for first time something she is addicted... but then... she made aggressive sounds to me, for first time in her life. Not even on eye surgery did something like that. With my gf she is kind of OK, but seems my cat is very offended with me. I try to give her attention but she don't want it. Any advice? We are really connected (i walk her without laze and she follows me everywhere).

This is so good and accurate.

I love cats

Giọng Đức Phúc đỉnh quá đi mất. Nó kiểu mộc mạc, ko màu mè và nghe rất chân thành ấy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Mong 1 ngày sẽ được ngồi ở trời Đà Lạt và nghe Phúc hát 🎵

Our cat would sleep under sofa, same spot, every afternoon like 3 to 6 pm. It's a "Do Not Disturb" moment for hin. He would sleep on his side all stretched out like superman. Eyes shut close.

FYI... Those litter boxes need cleaned as well as needing more litter!!!! BAD EXAMPLE !

cute

Bells on their collar are fine, it helps to know where the cat is, Vets recommend it. Laser play is amazing! My cat will sit in the hallway meowing until I take the laser out, it gives him great exercise, it’s a bonding time, and it too is a supported form of play by Veterinarians. Otherwise thanks for the information!

I truly believe that removing a cats claws is removing its identity. People shouldn't put clothes on cats, and cats are NOT the animal to tease. Theyre not that type of animal.

I know this may sound fake but it's not. My cat has NEVER vomited up a hairball and she is old

Nice video, but the music? Reminds me of 1977 when disco actually died!

I'm sure I will be " SURPIRSED ! Will watch the video with interest. Thank you.😊 🇬🇧💕😺💕😊

My cat loves belly rubs.

One hating cats is a big red flag. They got their own personality and are not as dependent as dogs

SURPRISE is the word…heeheeheehee. No offence meant, just in fun 😽😻😽😻

The music are around a minute is so loud & needs EQ'd. Something to keep in mind for the future.

One time at band camp I figured out my cat likes baths not the shower

What is the best way to separate the baby cats from their mother, to give them away, without hurting her feelings too much??

I see my cat as my baby boy too he is my baby 😊

I would have thought making biscuits would be really high, or at least on the list

Any way you can put out a video for the cats? Maybe you can get them to understand that being brush lightly is a GOOD thing! (He has been acting like I'm trying to push it through him. I'm barely allowing the full weight of the brush to touch his skin! And that's on the rubber nubby side. When I tried the wire side I was SO CAREFUL THAT THEY DIDN'T SCRAPE HIM! The object was to get the loose pieces of fur off, not to shred the cat. Stimulating his skin is what the nubby side was for, I hope? Either way, he was having NONE OF IT!) I'm thinking HE NEEDS THE INFORMATIONAL VIDEO for this one! I'm FAR from "financially well off", but he gets stuff before I do. I've tried a few brushes. He hates them all equally. I got him 22 Dec 20. He will be 12 in Feb. He'd had it rough before coming to live with me. It took him months before he would look at me with anything but a glare. I kept taking softly to him, lowering my hand down in front but over to the side in a non threatening way while gently talking to him. Eventually, one night I was in my reclining in my chair and he jumped up and became a catloaf at the foot of the chair facing the tv. I softly spoke his name after he was settled, told him he was welcome up there any time and asked him if the view of the tv was better from up there? When I didn't do or say anything else he slowly turned his head and saw me with a grin, a nod and then I went back to looking at the tv. Internally, I was jumping up and down, high fiveing myself, scooping him up and loving on him and giving him kisses like I STILL want to. But everything has to go on HIS pace. Here we are 10 days shy of our 2yr anniversary I'm messing around on this thing and he's sitting beside me. He's a joy now. We've moved cross country! He was an AMAZINGLY GOOD traveling companion on what prooved to be the LONGEST 22 hours of a scheduled 10-11 hour trip (thanks MAP QUEST! mayyourotinhell). WHY DIDN'T I JUST GET HARD COPY MAPS AND DO MY OWN ROUTE???? As you may have guessed, I was routed the most stupidly, indirect way. Obviously taking me TWICE AS LONG AS IT SHOULD HAVE!! By the time I arrived I was fried. Brain dead. Toast! The cat was ready to get out too, but he was actually concerned about me. I was so touched (and exhausted) that I cried. By the time my son arrived to let us into his house, we were a sad sight. He was like, "Mom? Are you alright? I thought you said your cat wasn't a cuddler." That was the ONLY TIME that's happened before or since! Despite his dislike of brushes, and the fact that he claims the lions share of the twin bed we share, do you think you can get him to understand that brushing would probably be preferable to me having to put on rubber gloves and spend a LOT of time gathering the fur off of the sheets. 1 bottom-1side. 1 top-2sides! If you don't remove AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, why bother to wash at all. Clean fur is still fur!! I have to "clean" my pillowcase EVERY NIGHT or I breathe in cat fur. This is a first.

Imagine having your finger tips cut off,, that's what a cat feels

Yeah, belly up also means incoming major cat fart...

And I had a cat that was double clawed on all digits, outdoor kitty, we would head butt so hard it hurt me!!

Never, ever declare a cat. One hundred two twenty stitches later after roommates cat got out and attacked, damn...

It your hand up if you love 💕 cats 🐱 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♂️
