Great analogy❣️ 😄

Ohh he will be. Rescued feral cats are the cuddliest cats ever!

@@sanjogh777 he'll be sleeping at the foot of her bed in about a week. He loves her💕

My Maine Coon isn’t cuddly. She lets me know when she wants pets my head-butting me. I’m ok with that 💜

@@sanjogh777 Absolutely!

​@@sanjogh777 All non-feral cats aren't cuddly, so it doesn't seem likely that all feral ones are. Grandpa Mason, for example, the famous feral kitten carer, never really bonded to humans in the three years he lived at a kitten rescue. The main thing is, she loves the cat she's got, however he turns out to be with her, and that's great to see.

I'm not in love, so don't forget it

Yeah, his schtick is the grouchy old man but he doesn't quite believe in the character.

like humans, cats can also form anxious attachments. isn't psychology interesting?

*That is my husband to a TEE!*

What happened?

@@SteveMarunde He died at 16 yrs of age from stomach virus and couldn't recover. To this day, I have never had a cat who loved to be held like him. We took many naps with him laying in my arms the whole time and had the loudest purr.

@@MauiKeiki22 Cute. Sorry to hear about his demise, but you gave him a far more comfortable and easier life than he could have ever hard as a stray. Perhaps he realized that seeing how cuddly he was.

I was thinking the same thing, big tom like that will probably leave lots of stinky sprays unless he's neutered.

You cut off his useful hormones and left him vulnerable, that’s what happened.

Honestly, he's such a mood- 😭🤚

@@confusednezuko-chan yeah

I agree

Definitely! Most cats are like little people, with their own personalities and quirks. And that's why we love them 😍

@@AnnaPxx nope.......not even close

Typical cat behavior... *Sits on the paper you're writing on, trills, and rubs lovingly against you...* *You look over...* *HHIIISSSS* Gotta' love their cryptic sense of nuance.

Doing things together separately.

Yeah, poor guy

He waited on the porch for food, and was willing to put up with the company.... Until....😺. Hey this human lady really came through for me!

He chose her but needed some time to accept he liked her

Your neighbor is amazing. I would bring them some brownies or something as a thank you! Also, I hope you won't leave your kitty baby out unsupervised anymore. She was lucky this time around......

@@malloryg4251 I prayed to God and he might have heard me

@Some Guy many people see their pets as extensions of their family many times the owners will feel a parental connection with the pet and if they already have children those children might feel a sibling connection with that pet

@@Spearb0811 if it was cheaper, I might. LOL

@@Rico401Prov me 2

That's really true ! 😂

I adopted a senior cat 2+ months ago ... can't wait till he finally officially adopts me back. lolol

Lol! - so true!

So true, my cat adopted me 6 yrs ago, and I couldn't be happier. She treats me so well 🥰😄

@@LuvScorpio I always appreciate cats who choose to adopt rescue humans as opposed to buying one from the people store. 😻

My neighbors had a little black shorthair. She would spend the day flying around my yard and mooching food from the bowls I put out for local strays. On the phone with my bro, I mentioned that she'd be 'mine someday.' When my neighbors moved to Texas, they hesitantly asked if I could take her. I just laughed. I don't think I actually had anything to do with the match; she just picked me. We have an understanding: all pizza boxes are hers.

That's how we should react to people who hiss: they probably simply got some personal history, too, just like Mr Crabs

@@HelenaBKay People hiss all the time for nothing 😂

@@TheKeystoneChannel nah. You don't know them. You don't know their lives.

I would have left hissing cat alone

He struck me as perhaps he was having some physical pain and was saying don't approach me, keep your distance. Aside from possibly being a feral, he just seemed very lethargic. Or as someone else mentioned, that he'd had a pretty rough life.

Testosterone.

I believe part of the testosterone comes from hunting and eating wild game + genetics

I read that the side, thick pieces are to act as "shields" for the face. Apparently an unaltered, mature male cat develops some characteristics of a "tom cat". Once altered, some of those physical features decrease and cat can be mellower. I think the Tom features are quite nice looking.

@@jenniferloftus2363 You ae correct. I like the look of Tom Cats, but maybe not some of the grumpy stuff. I know they can calm down, lose some Tom Cat features and become sweeter after being altered. meow

Its a hormonal adapdation that causes their jaws to swell from countless bouts of fighting with other unneutered toms outside. The most alpha tom is the one with the largest face but one of the most affectionate cats we ever had as a family was a great big black British short hair tom, always quick to anger and yet at the first sign of anyone becoming afraid or sad, he'd jump up on your lap and rub his huge face into yours. My mother was never a cat person (despite my dad adopting well over 8 strays (to my knowledge) over the course of their marriage. My dad would literally walk home and be followed by a stray. However this big black cat literally determined that my mother would love him no matter what and hed follow her into the bathroom every morning, sit in the mat beside her whilst she had her bath every morning before work. She had never directly fed him but this cat was determined. They were all devasted when he died at 14 but he'd lived a very well loved life with us, as did all our cats. Both my mum, dad and uncle (the family I grew up with), have now passed on but I've now inherited my late dads cat and she's just begun to be very affectionate with me after 2 years since my dads passing.

It is, I have a feral momma cat and her four year old feral son🥰 They are both neutered and much loved♥️

It takes a special person to be able to do that

Affection from a feral cat is like winning the lottery, so precious♥️

It is, I've done it several times. I love all my cats, they mean the world to me, even the stroppy difficult grumpy ones come round according to their own limits. All different personalities, like people.

I've had or fostered about 13 cats across 32 years and the most rewarding moments are when the feral rescue walks up to you and jumps up on you and sits

You should keep him in now. And give him a forever home. Maybe someone abandoned them. What happened to the other cat that got hit by a car.

From my knowledge and experience cats 🙀🙀🙀 are loyal,💖 compassionate, cuddly and cute. But they can be so much more than that too. They can be lifesavers, heroes, nurturers and so on 😍 Tom Terrick

A feral female I named Mama Cat started visiting me because I left a can of tuna out on the porch of the vacant house next door. Mama Cat turned out to be pregnant. For whatever reason, maybe because she was pregnant, she would come to me and let me hold her. One time she brought me a drumstick from someone's trash. She had her kittens and an owl got all but one of them (I need him Baby Kitty, because I'm original that way). Because I was so upset about the owl I got a wire pet carrier with a solid top and made a bed in there for Mama Cat and Baby Kitty. Baby Kitty would never let us touch him(her), and would hiss at me anytime I came near. I was never able to bring Mama Cat and Baby Kitty into the house because I had a dog who was very anti-cat.

Hello Nannie, I agree with you must be very patience and have understanding to earn their trust

@@robinspencer3505 what happened to the mom cat and kitten did u get them spayed and neutered.

Wait, what did you snip from him 😂

Wow,BLESSINGS! 😸💓

@Some Guy Lol. Check out the title of the video.

@Some Guy cat breeders use the word Tom for male, for female it’s Queen I believe.. “Prize winning Tom for sale” etc

@Some Guy bruh wdym lies

I love your comment! I absolutely love people who care❣️

@@marylivich6058 Thanks. I couldn’t agree more!

yeah even tho the cat name supose to MR chonky but MR crabs does suits his personality. how a lovely compliment comment you made

@@uget-uget Thank you. It’s much better focusing on the good in the world, I think.

@@vdubjunkie of crouse im focusing on the good the world

I always feel like if you let your cat go outside, there's a 50/50 chance of them coming home, in one piece. Never liked those odds, so I keep mine safe, inside. There's a family behind me that used to let their cats out. I'd see them dead, all over the area we live in, which is insanely busy! Never understood it.

@@qmnnvrdyz8965 I agree somewhat cause I do also think it cruel to keep a cat indoors their whole life especially with their wild instincts. I only let mine out back (where it's just gardens, the front is where the street is) and because they're all spay and neutered they don't wander. Fixing your pets makes all the difference. They don't wander as far.. All 10 of mine are always within hearing distance, so if I call them they come running. If you lived in a culdysac that would also be ok to let them out, it's a lot less dangerous. But to NEVER let a cat go outside is cruel imo.. If you live in an apartment, try getting them used to walking on a leash, or allow them on the patio.. SOMEHTING...

A friend of mine let her cat outside, he was skunked twice, got into a few fights, and ended up with FIV (feline HIV)

Yes, please, no more outside!!!!!

@@qmnnvrdyz8965 - My boy started life as a stray; an outdoor cat. And when I adopted him at the age of 6 months it was extremely difficult to keep him inside so I had to let him out. About three or four years ago he came home badly bitten requiring medical intervention. When it happened again about 8 months later he became a full time indoor cat with no exceptions. It took him months to get used to it without constantly nosing at the door and crying to go outside but it was worth the effort. Mango is 12 now and perfectly content to sit in my lap or in the window smacking his lips at the birds or howling at the enemy cats outside who are invading his territory. I couldn't ask for a better companion.

He's so cute though i want to cuddle him like a toy bear

@@smurfedratio249 He is but most people prefer kittens, that's what I meant.

@@smurfedratio249 oh that's remind me of my grizzly stuffy

@@uget-uget :D

You gotta be kidding. He’s the cutest chonk ever!!

You are a good person, the best. You saved and transformed that cat's life. He knew where to limp to for help.

Great story! 🐱

My heart stopped for a moment when I got to the part, "slowly limping towards our house". So relieved and happy that he is now living his BEST life with you.

@@dimar7641 he was the sweetest cat we’ve ever had. He really appreciated us and being inside. He loved being around people. All of our other cats would hide from guests. Barnaby would greet them and take them on a tour talking the whole time!

Beautiful story, thank you!

Yes, I kept thinking that if she kept him inside when he visited, he wouldn't have been hit by the car.

Nicely done! Does he cuddle up now?

@@sallymoen6371He is doing great! I do let him outside but only supervised in my front, and backyard, for about 15 min at a time…a few times a day of course. I guess I trained him not to wander off since he does not need a harness. I think he knows he is living a better life and hasn’t looked back. 😻

I love it when that happens. I have a guy who decided to be tame when he was twelve. He's 17 now and has turned into the nicest boy.

@@krisniznik3953 Me too! Since then I have rescued another five cats six in total😂👍❤️

@@myrescuecats3028 Excellent! >^-^< ~

Jowls lol 🤣

Some strays in my neighborhood do that to anyone who would feed them and now one of them has adopted my father in law and she has 5 adorable kitten's.

This doesn't work on dudes.

Aah!

Hello Ruth, I agree with you Mr. Crabs is very special and nice

So do I.

*conquer

@@Transformers2Fan1 do shut up spelling correctors. Did that unnecessary little input make you happy? Feel superior?

@@philiptownsend4026 cope

@@philiptownsend4026 In this case, I think the correction was necessary. It's not just a typo or a spelling issue. It's the _wrong word._ Moreover, "concur" and "conquer" are both verbs, making the error more confusing than it might otherwise be if they had been different parts of speech, because then the error would've been more obvious. I myself had to stop and think and reread the sentence to figure out what the commenter meant. So in a case like this, there's nothing wrong with making a necessary correction, as long as it's done nicely, without insults or condescension. It also benefits the commenter (and possibly other readers), who will hopefully learn from the experience. "Concur" means to agree, while "conquer" means to vanquish, i.e. win, as in a battle. If we keep our minds open, we can all learn something. 🙂

@@Milesco OK Sir, maybe in this case the correction was justified but I do wonder if the original writer was pleased to see it and agreed. People making unnecessary corrections to comments come across as frowning disciplinarian schoolteacher types correcting an English language pupils homework. As if trying to belittle someone's contribution and make them feel small. Not nice

It's cos he's still got his balls. That's how unneutered mat cats develop.

The "look at what a chunk he is" at the end was basically out of Rick and Morty's Summer Smith 😄

Most cats have a very intimidating facial expression. It keeps them safe. They drop it when relaxed.

*dire

‘Stinking cute’?! Consider using correct English, not the language of morons.

@@heli-crewhgs5285 1) According to online dictionaries, "stinking" can be an adverb used as an intensive, such as "stinking rich" or "stinking cute". 2) Single quotation marks should only be used for a quote within a quote. Two glaring mistakes in your comment. It's funny that you call other people "morons" while simultaneously proving that you are a moron.

There is a video on the Internet that is your exact same story. The woman consulted a “cat whisperer” that gave her advice how to socialize her feral cat. It took less than 2 months after the consult. She had the cat for a year before making small progress. I’m sorry, I don’t remember the title.
