Thank you! Enjoy fostering!!

Jackson Galaxy yaaay Jackson a new video. Thank you so so much for your videos and my cat from hell. I got my first cat a year ago at 8 weeks old i took her off the girl cus from 3/4 weeks old she was feeding the kittens and the 11 month old mother dog biscuits. Then i went over 1 night and my second kitten waz skin and bone and dehydrated and and thousands of fleas she was infested so i picked her up and never took her back. I say thank you so much cus without your amazing videos my girl would still be nearly ferral i didn't have a clue on how to gain her trust up and now she's my shadow and my mirror image. I learned what her jackpot treat was its wotsits (cheese puffs and any kind of cake) i love you and your guitar case of everything lol. Look forward to seeing more vids in the future. Much love from tilly mint and malia from the UK. I swear tilly loves your voice cus every time i put my cat from hell on she lies on my chest and watches it haha 💛💜💚

Hannah - lee Williams Please don't feed your cat cheese puffs and cake. CATS ARE CARNIVORES! THEY EAT MEAT! GRAINS WILL MAKE THEM SICK AND SHORTEN THEIR LIVES! Watch this video: purelivingforlife.com/homemade-cat-food/ and these recipes: www.catnutrition.org/recipes.html

Jackson Galaxy thanx for posting this video this probably explains some of the destructive behavior in my kitten... lol she's a calico and she chewed through one of my PlayStation cords... I was upset about it but that's probably the reason why she did it... because I wasn't playing w her.

Cedric Ward is absolutely correct, and even normal popular brand dry cat food with protein not from meat may taste good to them but it's basically the cat equivalent of McDonald's or any fast food. I use Blue Wilderness where the protein is derived from meat. most important thing when checking ingredients is protein from meat sources, the first three ingredients are what makes up most of the food. A five pound bag costs me 30.00 dollars and lasts a month. well worth it as it affects their coat and other features in a positive way.

Haha that's hilarious. My cat is too focused on the toy to even look at me.

Same with mine! With her eyes, follows the sting to the stick to my hand, then looks me right in the eyes and sighs. She with play a little after that, but I think she thinks, "what, do you need to play? Fine, I will pretend for a little while that I don't see your hand that is plane view."

Kevin Dorn Me too, but if I didn't, he'd look at me like, "Do you really think i'm that stupid? That's you, not a mouse or bird."

I have to pretend a bit too! He doesn't mind if he sees my holding the stick, but if he notices that I'm not focused on the toy (if I'm looking at him) he checks out like "dude, you're ruining it." So I'll have to pretend I'm also hunting the thing.

Kevin Dorn SAME

mine too!!

Awww. Mine sits by her mouse on a string, doing her saddest kitty in the world impression! If I ignore her she'll come pat my arm: endlessly😁

Mine too! She's actually kind of graduated to just generally bringing it to whatever room she's in with her at all times. She brings it to bed with her!

Your doing it right 👌

Awww

what a mood

@@willtheworm7304 thank you will the worm

You're a good person to prioritise your cat siblings/kiddies Like Jackson said they need it everyday

The stuggle is real cat people of the world! Who knew that we too would become immersed in the world of cat-prey-play!!! Well..... It's not really a stuggle is it,? I mean their gawjus furbabies and they have so much fun!!! We are after all but here too please the cats! 😹😹😹. I've 4 so I know they rule. We are their slaves!

I always wanna play my games but my kitten always meows so i play with him :3

@@kindnessasgreatasthesea1158 well hello there, it's been 2 years since my comment and a lot have changed. I have 4 cats now, one year old baby girl in foster care and full time job in a bank. But thanks anyway:) Btw if anyone is interested, I made a page for my kitties. Shironeko_no_seikatsu on Instagram, they are all white and one is oddeyed, it's so pretty:)

Ikr

Hahaha same !!!

Same here smh

SAME!!!!!

mine is the same way. she just found out how to do a somersault and now she has to do it constantly with the featherr

Hell yea lol

I love playing hide and seek with my cat as well! That’s such a fun! 😁 A little bit dangerous fun

Playing with my cat helps me relaxed.🙂

I gotta try this haha

okashi10 So did I! 😂

2 years later and still hilarious

I was thinking “looks like I have a new sleep demon”...

what toys do you use to play with your cat?

Ahmad jamal ok daddy.

My kitty’s name is also Lucifer. She’s the cutest

Probably because you gave him a name like lucifer lol

My cat is also named Lucifer. My dad doesn’t like it lmao

Why the fuck did you name it Lucifer

same, my cat needs up to an hour of play in the morning and in the evening, and like 2 or 3 15 to 20 min play sessions throughout the day while im working from home... it's driving me nuts but that's what i signed up for adopting a 7 month old stray 😅

This is by far best comment here.... hahahaha 😂

@@kindnessasgreatasthesea1158 hey, 2 months later and i realized i was the problem, she wanted to play w me all the time bc i let her but once i sat up a routine of doing it for 20 minutes 2 times a day she doesn't bother me much throughout the day anymore (she'll try sometimes and if i continue working she goes and plays by herself)

@@kindnessasgreatasthesea1158 thank you tho, she's my first cat and im still figuring things out 😊 i want her to be happy

@@user65857 i like you

Yeah same with mines! the cardboard is kinda dead now, i have to find a way to replace it

That happened with my cats except with treats

Mine love the cat dancer too. I've gifted a few to friends bedcause of this.

🤣 same here. Take the lid off the milk carton and it's the best toy ever

My cat hates noisy toys but she’s more interested to know what’s in my shopping bag 😂

My kitten is only a bit older than 2 months

Narly_Blue 😂😂😂that’s so cute.

Narly_Blue kittens will wear you out!

《Glitch_Gacha》 how have you been coping with play time??

I know the feeling!!!!! my little one is a month and a couple weeks and ALLLLLLLLLL she wants to do is playyyyyy!!!! it does get annoying sometimes but she does get the thrill of us interacting with her and she gets ramped up, she'll take a 5 min nap and then she'll be back at it but boy is it tiring lol

My cat will chase and pick up the ball I throw, but I can't get her to bring it to me. :) Sometimes, she'll bring it next to me and I can grab it, but I think she gets annoyed with that like, "Why is this bitch taking my ball from me?" ;) Then she'll stop bringing it to me and play soccer with it between my two end tables with a space between them on the tile. :) Do you use those little craft pom pom balls??

I've had cats that will fetch and it's great. They're very easy to play with.

We have a Maine Coon kitten and he is starting to learn to fetch with a toy mouse. The mouse makes a rattling noise when shaken. Wherever he is in the house I pick up the mouse and shake it and he comes running. I play fetch with him by throwing the mouse down the entire length of our hallway, sometimes he brings it back, other times he runs past me and hides. Can do this for an hour, sometimes it’s enough to wear him out, other times he’ll get bored and we play with something else. All good fun and games.

I am so glad you made this description. I've become very discouraged during the process of trying to get my cat to play. He likes to play, and he wants to play, but it seems like no matter how I am moving or wiggling the toy we have (which is a stick with invisible string and a cloth mouse on the end) that he will get fixated but not chase much. He will watch it, jump 1 time, then just watch while I exhaust myself to get it to move in a way that entices him. It's just not the full body movement that Im looking for to get him happily tired. My partner uses this same stick and gets much more engagement from our cat, and its deeply frustrating. I decided I may just try using a different interactive toy, since my partner is quite tall and can maneuver this stick-string-mouse toy over and around furniture that I just am not tall enough to do in the same way. So I see Jackson has a stick with a feather. I see other youtuber cat owners using a stick with feathers, Im going to try getting one of those and see if that is any better.

How are things with kitty these days? 😁

@@josie_99 sitting on my lap giving me a "rear ended hello" as I type this :D

My car is a recovering chonk, that’s definitely all she’ll do- two sessions of five, ten or fifteen minute play a day

Patty Kirsche exactly my kittens 😂

Patty Kirsche that’s a GOOD thing! They love you for playing with them & want to spend more time with you.

I play with my odd slightly aggressive kitten

Awe my kitten ignores me and comes when he wants 😭

My cat couldn’t care less about a “mouse” or “snake” and gets bored easily with the feather toys but absolutely ADORES the laser pointer, he’s incredibly smart and will pick it up the laser pointer and bring it to me like a dog with a bone in the morning when he’s bored. When he sees me pick it up he’ll make small meows until I turn it on. My older cats hate all toys but they love when we play with our hands, they have their claws but we trained them as young kittens not to use them by tapping their paws lightly anytime they stuck us with them and firmly said “no claws” (4-6weeks old when we got them, they were from my neighbor who’s cat had them outside then was hit by a car, the kittens were left to die essentially. The first one was 4 weeks when we got him, the mother was still alive but she actually was rejecting him for some reason. We’d been watch her and she wouldn’t touch him and stopped feeding him so after two days of that we stepped in and took him in and then we got his sister two weeks later when the mother passed away and she didn’t have anywhere else to go)

Penny Hollenbeck you definitely know how to use your exclamation marks!!!

LPS Cat haha! I’m choosing to interpret your critique of my writing skills as a compliment. And honestly, this is the first cat i have owned and I was just so excited that all of what Jackson teaches us REALLY works if we apply it! So yes I am very grateful!!!!!!!! 😉

Congratulations on your new cat, welcome to the cat club!

LPS Cat thanks so much! He came from my local shelter and i just love him.

Awwwww

emaluv 513 thank you!!! You are so right.

I know your pain. People's excuses are so frustrating. They should have researched the care requirements of the animal before getting it :/

I agree. A lot of people get pets thinking about themselves but not what the pet needs. It's frustrating.

update: these ppl are getting better... forced two to spay/neutre their cats (one of them literally said "oh i dont mind" after his cat was in heat multiple times, told him "ok i guess ur cool with her feeling uncomfortable n dying from ovarian cancer" and the other wouldnt neutre cos "its too expensive" the neutre cost 63€ (less than 100$) btw... 😐 the third person is still /trying/ to play with his cat at least 5 mins a day, which is an improvement from 0 mins) theyre learning and getting better, the cats are getting older but they all obviously LOVE when i come over cos "thats the chick who plays with me and gives me salmon" 😹😭 i wish i could save ALL the sad/mistreated cats in this world... 😿😿😿 at least i kno MY one is happy! he's keeping me warm in my arm as i type in bed, bein lazy n purring 😻😻😻

oh yea... i bought that feather toy from jackson... best investment EVER!!! 😹😻

Also sorry for bad english

Great comment! I had the same thought :)

Retro Patronum just remember that catching is a very important part of the hunt for all cats, only chasing an immortal point of light can frustrate them easily

Retro Patronum my kitten and yorkie are best friends. My yorkie is obsessed with the laser, the kitten sits back and lets her play (the alternative being getting run over lol), then the yorkie lets HER have a turn. When I use the pointer, if the kitten "catches" it, I cover the end for a sec so she can believe she really caught it. Works!

My calico is BANANAS over the pointer. Nothing gets her going better than that. And she is so FUNNY when she attacks it.....

I wish my cat would play with a laser pointer.. When I shine the laser he turns around to look at me like "did you really think I am going to run after that?" 😐

@@brisaquina8816 Too bad. I have a few other toys my calico is like "MEH" about..... but the pointer is NOT one of them.

The Old Khajiit I love the name booger! It's my dogs nickname because I picked him

I had a cat named Neko! He passed away a few months ago after a long, healthy life.

You named your cat cat? I had a fish named Fish, not in another language, just Fish 😂

I have a friend who named her cat Cão, which means dog in Portuguese lmao. And I also saw this one couple on tv a while back where the Chinese wife liked cats but her French husband was allergic so they got a dog they named Mao aka cat in Chinese. Because logic.

holistic79 God had nothing to do with that. It was humans who spread them all over the world.

My cat is like that, too. She was bottle fed by 2 women who live down the street, and we visit her other moms all the time (along with their 3 little dogs and one of her litter mates). She is especially frightened of men.

I have a Da Byrd toy and agree they are easily breakable. However my geather tip lasted almost a year of agressive play for a couple of reasons: 1. I taught my kitten to "give it". This is something my mom taught all our dogs, so she wouldn't have to fight to remove things from their mouth. I would present a low reward toy to my kitten and wait for him to grab it. Then I'd give the command "give it" at the same time as presenting a high reward treat. The kitten drops the toy , which i immediately remove, for the food treat. I then praise and pet the kitty, another rewar! . Then I present the toy again. Repeat the process multiple times then give it a rest. After the association is made between the command and the reward, you can up the ante with a more desirable toy, and train more, or up the ante with more action from the toy before asking to "give it". I've been able to retrieve a living bird from my cats mouth , with some resistance, with this command. The other tip is to PUT THE TOY AWAY. I've had the same half chewed feathers for almost two years because I wrap it up and hide it where they can't get it. Letting the cat run off and finish his kill is a waste of an $8 feather tip. I also present home made tips made of things I can let the cat destroy, like dried corn husks. It kinda mean to never let the cat keep it, and corn husk is much caper than Da Byrd refills. Also da Byrd sparkle tip is harder to destroy since it's already shreds of mylar and easy to slip out of their paws. HTH someone, snd have fun with your little monster!
