Jackson Galaxy i wanted to ask is it ok to leave my pregnant cat at a friend's house for a few days while i am on holiday?!?!?!

Jackson Galaxy my cat has always rubbed faces with me isn’t that a way of them showing love?

Jackson Galaxy is it ok to leave my cat at a friends house for a few fays while i am on holiday??

I dont know if you read these comments Mr.Galaxy, but I have a question, I know its hard to diagnose over internet, but I thought still to ask. I just found a street kitty, 5 months old, when she gets stressed out she makes this very strange sound I have never heard a cat make before. its like a huuuh, huuh, huuuhhh... sound like when a dog is whining but lower pitched and cat like. Shes already been taken to the vet, they said she was fine, but then again i dont think they are a very good vet place. but the only one where i live. Anyways, it doesnt SEEM like a breathing problem, as its not always, just when she gets stressed, like seeing the neighbours dog and running for the hills, or a very long and loud car ride to the vet. is this normal? just a personal quirk? or is it health related? :(

Jackson Galaxy Cats are actually both prey and predatory animals.

tavern2468 lmao

He’ll be out in the front yard, holding up a boombox if you’re not careful!

Mairead NiC we've already been through that. We're complicated

tavern2468 Dang! All i get is piles of vomit on the floor in the middle of the night. Strategically placed of course for prime barefoot contact.

watrgrl2 have you tried cat/ hooman counseling and wearing socks?

Moochietobu: Same here! 😍❤️

Moochietobu Mine too ❤️

One morning I woke up to my cat scratching my blanket trying so hard to get under them. It was so funny. Wasn't impressed when I got up lol

Moochietobu that’s adorable

my cat wants that too - but only if I keep the blanket open so she has a little blanket cave - I usually do it for her until my legs cramp from holding it up^^

mine's just the same! a bit of stroking her head is all she'll allow but whether I'm shut in my room all day studying or working in the garden, she'll never be far away

nzi my cat just bites my hands softly while I’m petting him. It doesn’t help that he is my first and only cat.

I have a cat that won’t eat a cat treat but will eat cat food

@@alexandrarivera7957 (Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes, im a swedish man with dyslexia and i did my best, hihi xP) If i am not mistaken, a small bite with near no pressure is usually a sign of affection. i have had cats for 20 years and never lived without one (well for 4 months i did), But i do not claim to be an expert so i can be wrong, i have let all my cats "small bite" me and not seen it as a sign of "i wanna be left alone" and i have had no problems with it. I think if your cat ever tells you to leave them alone you will find it very clear what they mean. With my cats if they bite to let me know witch they dont often do, They use a lot more force in the bite and sometimes might act almost what would look like a fight, so my cats at least will show me a clear sign of leave me alone (they usually put their paw on my had and push me away or hold around my hand and kinds of push/claw with their back paws also with no claws if im not to annoying xD) I could not tell if you are worried that the cat might be very aggressive or anything but anyhow i would not be worried if there are not any other clear sign of aggression or mistrust. especially not if it is a kitten, they usually have a lot of energy and they get the feeling of "i need to get it out" this is why you see them just sprint around sometimes that also goes for grown cats its just not as often for them. (Again, i do not claim to be a professional and i only speak from what i have read and learnt from a owner myself) - i am pretty sure im spitting facts though. I hope you and your cat have a long and happy life together.

Zewee HD thank you for the advice and yes I was kind of worried and you really helped me.

Tammy Dowell I hear that! :)

Tammy Dowell well said!! 😻

Yes!! Lol 😊

Yes lmao

Tammy Dowell INTELLECTUAL IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD HERE!!!

One of my kitties still sleeps on my side. Thankfully she is small.

exactly lol

I once grumbled about being a "human slave" to my cat to another cat loving friend. They immediately replied with "Minion, you are only a minion. A slave can dream of freedom my dear!" 😉

Exactly! My two cats have drastically different personalities, and they're both little sweeties.

Iflie ..YEP!! We Never 'Own' our Felines...It Is THEY WHO OWN US!! LOL

So true... Then I have to train all the other humans to my cats liking that come around. Lol

if your cats tail kind of shakes/vibrates really fast while its doing that, Then i think you might be the favorite human in the household.

@@zewee8407 My sweet Bouji-Boo and I slow blink to each other all the time. I like to think we're saying "I love you more, no I love you more!" I'm her mama though, so I win. 😍😍😍😍

Your doing a great job to gain his trust so fast. I got a cat a month ago, I was her third home, she showed her belly the 1st night, it was the best feeling. Take care.

alex lumen throwback to when he was helped with elimination as a kitten. Mom cats need to lick the kitten’s anus to stimulate the bowels, if they don’t, the kitten gets constipated. Not saying he wants you to do that but just that aiming the butt is probably some affectionate instinct the cat acts out when in the presence of a mom figure.

alex lumen: Copied & Pasted this for you: Cats have prominent and active scent glands on their head, neck, paws, chest, and base of the tail, as well as active anal glands. These apocrine glands, which sit on each side of a cat's rectum, produce strong-smelling secretions intended to send chemical signals about that cat's identity to other animals. These signals include information like the sex of the cat, what the cat is eating, and even some clues about a cat's emotional state. Visual communication by cats is performed via body language. The position of a cat’s ears, head, tail -- and butt all convey a message to other cats and to owners as well. Tail sniffing behavior is normal between cats and cat butt presentation is a part of this cat talk. But it often surprises us when Fluffy leaps onto our lap for a petting session, turns around, and presents his (ahem) furry nether regions. Think of this from your cat's perspective. When greeting each other for the first time (after the hissing stops!), cats sniff each other's face and neck as a sort of "hello there." This could be compared to you nodding a greeting to a stranger at first meeting. Cats produce cheek pheromones that signal friendship, so sniffing this area can actually help calm feelings of aggression or fear. Once they feel comfortable with each other the cats progress to sniffing flanks. That could be similar to a human "nice to meet you" polite handshake. This is the area that holds family scent of other cat's body rubs, grooming, or a human's petting hand so it tells the sniff-er quite a lot about the cat. Finally, the last step is a sniff of the anal region beneath the raised tail. The cat's signature scent is found here. Kitties that keep the tail down and don't want to be sniffed might be compared to a shy person hiding her face. A raised tail signals "I mean no threat." So the combination of raised tail with offering a butt-sniffing opportunity is the equivalent of a human's enthusiastic hug or a kiss on each cheek in greeting. When kitty presents his tail in your face, does he really expect you to sniff? Probably not. Cats are smart, and as much as they love us, they realize we are not feline. But the body language of politely opening themselves up to a sniff-figuratively uncovering their face so we see and recognize the "real kitty" is a huge compliment granted between trusting friends. The cat butt sniff offer is a back-handed feline compliment.

Draki Wow, very informative!

Milenart Meire Thank you! I saved this once and just had to copy & paste. ☺️❤️

thank you. I kind of figured it was something like that. Joey was a stray kitten, humane society rescue- caught the dreaded FHV while incarcerated. I literally wrapped him in a receiving blanket and was bringing him into a steamy bathroom several times a day (n night) for about 10 days. Ever since then (12 yrs later), he makes sure I know, HE OWNS ME! and this is HIS house. (Dogs watch the house. Cats own it)

❤️❤️❤️

Horrifyingly Hillarious my cat loves tummy rubs

They dont like the touch but loves kissies in tummy

My cat loooooves tummy rubs

My cat lets me pet his belly.

Depends on a cat)))

sometimes cats get over stimulated, you can check their tail to give you indication if they had enough. When the tail is not moving your ok, but if the tail starts "tapping " it's telling you their getting over stimulated, when it's wagging fast like a dog, it's warning you and could bite soon after. When I pick u p my cat (she's 2 yrs old) got her a month ago, I watch her tail to pay attention to if she had enough. Watch the full cats from hell episodes, gives good cat basics.

Probably not in the way you love someone. our perception of love would be like respect or vulnerable, in our eyes bowing down and accepting there is a stronger pressens is almost shameful, but in most animals in this case a cats world it is just how it is and it makes them happy. in some cases that makes them happier because its almost like they can relax. anyhow they do not feel bad about it, its just how their world is.

Same with my brother. The cat probably has about 15 rooms to choose from all more comfortable and cleaner than my brother's room but she chooses to live in his room.

That One Girl he probably has gas or indigestion

I find it's a personality thing. Most cats would rather you not rub their bellies but tolerate it. A little more on the fringe is the bunch that will make it physically known they don't like it (ex biting or clawing) and another bunch that actually appear to enjoy it quite a bit. But even the latter have their limits and will let you know when they've had enough. To be on the safe side, it's generally best to abstain from belly rubs unless they're really really asking for it.

I have 3 cat's and one of them love's tummy rubs 😽😽😽 my other 2 cat's.... well don't even think about it 😼😼

Pj Cramer usually with cats that’s because of suckling. Some kitties are just weird (mine likes when I use the lint roller directly on his fur, instead of to pick up his fur from my bed) but many cats retain suckling behaviors and toes are one of the targets of this behavior.

Pj Cramer he's trying to groom you, he basically sees you as a family cats aren't pack animals the way dogs are, they don't usually form bonds with multiple cats the ones they do bond with are usually they're siblings or young. He's grooming you because he sees you as someone to take care of and nurture.

Congratulations, it's a great feeling.
