Рет қаралды 102,727
3 жыл бұрынHello friends & new friends!! I finally get to post that I adopted a cat this past week!! His name is Shamu and he is an (almost) 2 year old long haired domestic cat. His birthday is April 8th and I cannot wait to spoil him!! He is officially mine and he is actually an Emotional Support Animal! I am already so obsessed with him and so glad I decided to adopt him! He has already provided so much anxiety relief for my friends and I and he is such a fun companion to have. I will be posting a week in my life next week as I approach finals and I can't wait to see you next Sunday!! If you have any cat advice, please feel free to respectfully comment for me.⭐
UPDATE: Shamu has been sleeping well through the night and just met Kyle as well! We are all getting along great.

Definitely meant to be. Sometimes cats and other animals seem mean; but sometimes they just need the right person to love. Especially if they arent a baby. Maybe their heart had been broken before and the right family turns that all around .

I will respectfully give you some tips. (I grew up with cats and have a 2 year old short hair and a 8 week short hair) 1. Hiding places are needed. 2. Get a cat tower that has cubbys on them. 3. Put a bed in a small area or under a desk or chair. 4. Get a window seat. 5. Let him come to you, cats are very independent and need time to accept you into their pack.

Why did I cry during this entire video? Shamu is so cute and it was amazing to see how you two bonded immediately. Sometimes it’s just meant to be. I’ve been considering adopting a kitten lately so I’ve been watching every single adoption vlog I could find so I could be prepared for it, since I’ve never really had a cat, only dogs. Your video made me so so so happy and just pushed me a little bit more towards adopting my own cat. Thank you for documenting your encounter with your meant to be cat, it was lovely ♥️

There is a cat toy that is kinda like a fishing pole with various cat toys on the end. Most cats love that. They love for you to move the toy around chase it jump etc etc. That really helps if you get that going for 20min or so before bedtime. Makes them tired.

I always felt that whenever you go to adopt a cat or a dog, it's always them who adopts you first. Also, I have those same clear cat ear bowls and my cats didn't like them very much. So, we ended up just using these more shallow bowls and they prefer those more.

First You Made A Very Good Choice With Him! Now..May I Submit A Few Things. . . Here?. . . 0k? Let's Prioritize His Food First By Choosing A Good Brand Like Stella & Chewy Or Dr. Marty's. Canned Food Is Being Studied & Linked Now To Cat Hyperthyroidism Which Occurs In 10% Of Cats Over The Age Of 10 Yrs. And It Is Very Serious- He Will Suffer Then So Will You. And Just Dry Food Only Will Cause Kidney Damage Due To Dehydration. The Brands Listed Above Get Reconstituted With Hot Water. Feed That To Him As Per The Instructions For His Weight. Don't Let Too Much Time Lapse Between His Feedings. Since You Are Home With Him Divide His Feedings Into Four Times Per Day. Mix His Food With A Good Brand Of Bottled Water And Only Give Him That To Drink Too. You Will Save Him From Lots Of Common Medical Problems That Happen To Senior Cats- (Especially About The Age Of Ten When They Can Get Very Sick) It Is Heartbreaking Then And You Can Prevent That N0w. Following & Prioritizing The Best Feeding Plan Will Be The BEST Investment His And Your Well Being And Keep Your Bond With Him Strong. Take Him To The Veterinarian For Regular Exams & Immunizations- Spread Those Vaccines Out & Only Give What Is Necessary Or He Can React To Those. e. g. Vaccinate Him- But Do That Prudently. Yes - Agree With Other Comments To Provide Him Places & Spaces To Hide & REST. Other Comments Too About Playing And Showing Him Lots Of Love- (You Are Doing A Very Good Job With That!) Consider A Health Insurance Plan NOW While He Is Young W/0 Medical Problems Yet. You Won't Be Sorry If You Put A Plan In Place For His Healthcare At This Time. It Will Save Your Financial Health Too. So Very Many Good Wishes Then To You & ( Shamu? Good Choice To Keep That Name For Him Too~) All That Said, You Can Have Many, Many Happy Years Together W\0 Heartache That Happens When They Get Sick...OMT- Observe His kitty Litter Habits & Make Changes To An Open Litterbox And A Wheat Or Corn Based Litter Brand Too - (Clay Often Causes Respiratory Problems) Play, Have Lots Of Fun Together And Enjoy Every Day With Him That God Gives You ~ All Very Best Wishes Too!

I met my cat Lyche at the shelter, and she chose me. i am glad to see that Shamu chose you . Ping Pong ball for toy and Leather shoe lace, without the plastic ends and longest u can find, check grocery stores as well as shoe stores. Furminator brush is very good at getting deep knots out of the cats hair. most cats have an undercoat and an overcoat, the undercoat is harder to get out when needed. trimming front claws will need to be done occasionally, check for youtube videos about doing it right. Good Luck :)

What a precious snd friendly and beautiful cat! I adopted a cat last year, November 2020. I love your philosophy of getting an adult and realizing he would be a twenty year part of your life. I’m sure you have learned a lot about cats since you got him. My fav thing with my girl is watching Jackson galaxy videos on you tube. He has lots of good ideas on how to deal with cats and their unique issues. My girl is five years old. She didn’t take to me instantly like your guy did but the shelter let me do a one month trial adoption but by the next morning I knew she was my forever kitty. She was exactly what I wanted and more. Our family bred Siamese cats. But I feel like I’ve learned so much more about cats since I’ve gotten her. My cats fav toys are ones I make for her like wads of aluminum foil rolled into balls and toilet paper roll toys. And handfuls of feathers tied up with yarn on a fishing pole style rod. I got a jacket style harness for my girl and I’ve found that playing hard with my kitty before meals snd before bed time that ends with a snack. Pro tip, don’t free feed him but feed him at specific times snd specific amounts. That will help him with behavioral as well as health issues. Make cats often have kidney issues so avoid dry food with him. My girl lives dry food so I only give her a small amount of kibble as a treat. Like 5 kibbles at a time. Get a low carb and high protein wet food. If you are wondering why, watch Jackson galaxy’s series on the best food for cats. You got such a great kitty. I’m so happy for you.

The cat choses the owner Harry. He is so settled already, it took my cats a few weeks to get that cosy, they were only 8 weeks (free to a good home) and probably missed their mum. But this cat is so in love with you, the way he showed his belly and slept in your scent. My cats also try to eat all my food lol.

Adult cats are great for anyone who has a busy schedule or a smaller space. Even at a year old they're a lot more settled than kittens, but still have lots of energy and are pretty adaptable. I have a couple of those same carriers. I like to extend the strap as long as possible and put it around the headrest so the carrier won't flip over if I have to break hard. My cat will also flip it off the seat just from wiggling because she hates being in it.

Idk if you ever got the throwing up/pushing food out of the bowl revolved but usually it’s solved by getting a shallow elevated bowl! Elevated helps with the throwing up & shallow helps with whisker tension which could be why he’s pushing the food out

Right now I have 7 cats. I had 10 but lost 3 old ones. I still miss them. I recently switched to Oko cat litter. The cats all like it, less dust and almost no odor. A cat tree with a cubby and shelf by a window is a must. I'd also get him a brother or sister. Cats need companionship. Play with him before dinner and bed time. Also he's a longhair so get him a comb rather than a brush, one with 2 different length teeth. Get him some hairball remedy to help with hairballs. He's a sweet cat.

awee so cute, if you want him to sleep cause he's keeping you up and you are thinking he is anxious I reccomend calm music for cats you can search some up on youtube, it works really well and some vids of music for anxious and stressed cats. Just get him in a comfy position or spot and play it till he goes to sleep! (also my mom is also in nursing school :D) Edit : idk if you known already but cats knock things over just to see what would happen hehe

It also helps sometimes to just completely ignore a behavior you don't want. My emotional support cat was so happy to have a mom when I first got him that he kept jumping on my back while I was trying to sleep. I just lay like a log and did not react at all and eventually he decided that it wasn't fun anymore.
