I know. He is a wonderful and beautiful soul

@@scottcupp8129 I saw some of your videos after looking at your profile picture. You're a beautiful soul as well man, I wish you the best.

Yes his meow just tugs at my heart! ❤

the breed is probably an old greek maybe Egyptian breed they’re mostly common and yeah ig

I love his meows there so cute.

How about his “screeches”? He’s sooooo cute!

Yeah, and she's rescuing more cats which is great!

I almost cried because that poor sweet boy had to wait SO long and he's just a big sweetheart.

Proud to say I am the 1000th like on this comment :)

My sentiments exactly. It's nice that people rescue then send to a shelter, but keeping him is the very best thing to do. I know from personal experience that directly homing a stray is massively rewarding.

Do you know the Swedish cat "Pelle Swanslös" from Uppsala? He lost the full length of his tail, but the whole town celebrate his steps, written on the streets.

You're leaving out the 😖 part he's also missing.. The only part that actually matters. "A full life" What a sick🤬 b*..

She said the ear is a mark that the cat was neutered. So apparently where she's from, humans do that on purpose

@@jerryg3652 Usually they don't snip half the ear off though. "Just the tip," as it were.

@@eritain bizarre practice.. dumb practice..

Great comment - retirement home 😅

I could use a really good retirement home!

What a cute boy he is

Cool cat and cool people.

Agree completely. 😊

my cat was nearly 20 years old! It is not an old cat at all with 10 years! Why she say 'senior'? I can't understand!

That’s me with my cat too 😭 I’m in complete denial I think

I think indoor cats might become senior a little later!

Medically speaking, cats used to become “senior” around 9 years old. The age has since been moved up to 11. It’s just like pregnant women 35 and over are considered “geriatric pregnancies”, even though obviously a 35 year old is not geriatric, or humans being considered “seniors” when they’re 55-65. It doesn’t mean they’re going to die tomorrow, lol. You can live 30 years past then. It’s just the terminology. You’re lucky your cat lived to 20. While that isn’t exactly rare, I’d say the majority don’t live that long.

I know what you mean. My 13-year-old still acts like a kitten. He still begs me everyday to go outside and he still plays with this bee on a string toy along with the foster kittens.

Well done.

Yep, thank god cats don't care for that as much as we people do! As long as their injury doesn't prevent them from running around as much as they want, they're happy 😸

Love you mommy, thanks

That's a good line all right.

Both my cats are ex street. They demand a lot of love and affection. It took a lot to gain their trust and one has fully received, the other is still scared of strangers.

@skye orange Thanks! I knew I have what it takes to draw them out, it takes patience and watching what the cat is reacting to and then try ways around it. Rescues are amazingly loyal. My Abyssinian always gives me a 'thank you' nudge when I feed her. She seems to know that I have the choice to not feed her, and she's thanking me.

autocorrect gaffe: I meant to type 'fully recovered' not 'received' and didn't notice it was changed

being a street cat's adopted human is truly something special...

@skye orange Not at all, it was a privilege!

The cutest battle cry

That's a sweet way to put it. Looking from the perspective of the cat.

My dear kitty is like this. Poor thing was passed from shelter to shelter and just is my little buddy

Your comment brought tears to my eyes.

Hi, can anybody advise me please? I just moved to this new place, it's a hotel but i have a room here since my husband works here. We renovated the inside and have 2 rooms joined together like a tiny apartment. 7 months ago or so i saw that there is a small family of cats living nearby and coming to eat from the trash at night. I started leaving them food and slowly slowly they got used to me and started coming to even our door. It's a female cat with probably her male kitten, I think now he's a little over a year old and there's his dad too. Some time ago I noticed the female kitty is pregnant. At that time she was already coming inside for an hour maybe the most. The other two were afraid to come in more than a few steps. Then 3 weeks after she gave birth she brought the kittens to the shelter i made in front of our door a long time ago. It was very stormy at that time. It's a litter of four, one boy only. Since then I've been taking care of them outside but when they grew bigger and started spending time outside of their box people started getting interested in them (it's a hotel). it happened TWICE already that somebody took one and we had to "rescue" him. A few days ago we took them in, we had no other choice, people would keep "kit-napping" them. We can't really have cats inside but i tried my best to make it a good place for them. 2 days ago i FINALLY trained them to use litter box. And surprisingly the mom cat started using it too even though we let her out multiple times a day. So that's the situation right now: the kittens are now almost 6 weeks old, don't want to go outside. Their mom also wants to stay indoors now and learned on her own to use a litter box. The dad cat and the young male started coming in for longer periods of time (dad for 15 minutes or more even) and are more comfortable exploring the apartment. They rely completely on us feeding them and in the evening and night they usually hang out somewhere close. We're trying to convince our friends (whom we trust) to adopt all 4 kittens because we can't keep them. We can't afford a cat and everything that comes with it for so many years. Besides soon my elder dog is coming back to me. So here's my question - should i take the adult cats to the animal shelter so that they can get spayed/neutered, vaccinated and all (we can't afford that) and adopted or just let them live outside? We might move to a completely new place in a few months or a year the most so I don't know what to do. They seem not to be so wild anymore and the mom cat seems to be an indoor cat already and demands love and pets. Should i take only her to animal shelter? But they live together as a family and at the shelter they told us they'll most likely be separated if they take all of them. And i don't know how long it might take for especially the dad to be adopted. He's independent, doesn't like closed places and to be touched (only by me sometimes). I dont want to take away his freedom and put him in a cage for months and then MAYBE, just maybe be adopted by a person who'll be patient and nice enough. He might be a bit older already, I don't know. What should i do????????

@@Magda_7396 Try finding a local no kill shelter, most of the time they take strays or feral animals and vaccinate/neuter and spay them and release them back into the wild humanely. if that doesn't work just have your best wishes that they'll survive through natural instinct. Sadly we would all love to save street kitties and give them a better opportunity but we all also don't have the income or the time to deal with every special case. All in all, try your best or what your heart wants.

👍👏👏👏💕

Made me cry ❤❤❤

Although I do appreciate all this kind person has done, I myself wouldn't have waited 2 years to bring him inside. I really don't agree with releasing them after they're neutered. It's a very sad existence for them. Between predators, disease and starvation most cats are lucky to live a year outside. They're not wild animals, they or their parents were once somebody's pet.

@@syd2123 Not all stray cats were someone's pet, especially if you live in the city, there's lots of feral stray cats that were born outside that are not socialized at all, would not make a good pet nor would they want to be trapped inside with a human. However, they still deserve to be vaccinated, especially when you can do so for cheap at the Humane Society (if you live near one), and they need to be fixed or else your neighborhood will become overpopulated with cats, and eventually someone will end up calling animal control and then there's a lot of cats in the pound on death's row because not many are willing to adopt an unsocialized cat. This is not the case for Toup, he's so friendly he probably was an abandoned pet, but there are definitely cats that are 100% wild animals and sometimes trap, neuter, release is the best you can do for them. Fostering is expensive and not everyone is able to go that far.

yet they waited 10 years

Sounds like a mafia boss

I have two < one in my profile pic he is deaf but at nearly 23 its allowed

It's funny. Friends had 2 cats that went deaf as they got old. One who was always very vocal got extremely quiet, and the other, who was always a very quiet cat, got LOUD. I was one of the few people their quiet cat would meow for when I talked to her before she lost her hearing. I miss both of them terribly!

My cat is 19 and when she got deaf a year ago she also started to meow like that so I immediately wondered if Toup is deaf as well.

@@simonslater9024 Take your meds buddy

@@simonslater9024 I had to give you a thumbs down for grammar.

@@simonslater9024 are you fuckin okay??

Quill, I 💯% agree with you. The Biscuit Factory is a cool name.

Oh! Yes! From your comment, it hit me what that title means. Went right over my head. Classic

100% My Harvey was 9 years old when we adopted him. I feel so bad for our senior animals that are in shelters, because they hardly get a chance. My poor Harvey was in a shelter for over 5 years before we adopted him. It breaks my heart that there are many more like him...just looking to live out the rest of their days in a safe and loving home 😻🥺🐈🐈‍⬛

@@Claudia-lq3ns agreed, I definitely am going to make it a point to adopt some senior animals once I have room in my home. I can understand someone not wanting to face the heartache of getting attached and then losing them sooner than a young pet. But I would hope just knowing you gave them a loving home in their final years would bring some comfort. Plus honestly in many ways they’re less trouble because they’ve usually gotten the bratty, destructive behavior younger animal behavior out of their system. Except if you’re my dog, he’s 17 and still gives me hell on a daily basis. 😂 as much as he drives me insane sometimes I’m glad he’s still spry enough to keep me on my toes. I’m so glad you came into Harvey’s life and gave him a good forever home, I’m sure he was so grateful after 5 long years at the shelter. I’m actually impressed they kept him so long, I bet they were crying tears of joy when his adoption day came. My friend works in animal rescue and she was always so excited when their kitties found a home.

We adopted a “ten+ (as in the shelter stops counting lol” cat when I was young and he had a similar squeak meow. He was a black cat we named Zen and I 😂I’ll never forget him

My forever best friend is asleep under his favorite chair. Right by his daddy. I love my Bubby boy. (Buddy). He just turned a year old. I am so sorry and hold a lot of sadness regarding Scooter.

Forever R.I.P., Scooter!!

Rest in peace angel 😇 💔 💜 ❤️

@@RaevenLin awwww, rip scooter. Love that name ❤

@@scottcupp8129 Hi, Buddy!!

I’m sorry for your loss - I know, it’s so hard. Sending lots of love to the bond that you shared 💜

I hate it when one of my cats meows loudly for food. She can see it's coming but she just cries more insistently. My other one is very observant and sits very quitely and checks if I've noticed he's being a good boy. So cute! The first one was starving when I got her and she thinks every meal is a question of survival. It's distress crying that she does. It's getting a bit less insistent now after a good 5 years of this. But sweetly she nudges me a thank you on my arm before starting to eat. Cuuuute or what?

"his pack a day voice" 🤣

Funnily enough, my brother's cat has the exact same meow, and I've never heard another like it till today!

Ha...love this. Made me laugh. I know so many human Toups. Lol.

I've been concerned my cats wouldn't adjust to a small trailer or motor van but you're giving me hope there.

@@deborahcurtis1385 Thanks for replying! You just have to be nice to the little babies! As you know. They are pretty adaptive on their own. Good luck to you!

@@bear4pozcle Yeah, mine were both grown and one had been a mother. When you have an older cat that's anti social it's much harder to gain their trust and socialise them. The mother was emaciated when she was rescued. It takes time and watching their cues and also trying tricks like lying down on the floor so they will feel emboldened to approach you. I slept on the floor for 4 nights before the mother would come out and interact. Most people can't be bothered.

Bless you and your Kitties, Your a LEGEND! Rest easy Taz Cat! Gratitude from Fiji 💪🏿 🏝 🇫🇯

​@@deborahcurtis1385 Only a Genuine Animal Lover would do what you did! Kudos 👏🏾 Blessings from Fiji 💪🏿 🏝 🇫🇯

@Rick James the breeding of animals needs to stop and enforcing the spay and neuter law.

Bless you.

Thank you and God bless x

Junx is a great name for a cat! Same goes for Toup. I have a cat named Pepper (Pep for short) who had been abandoned with a litter of kittens. She was rescued by a friend of mine, who found homes for her and all the kittens. Originally, Pep was housed along with the one boy kitten named Ralph. When Ralph grew up, he became a bully towards her. He was pampered and never knew the harsh reality of scavenging for food. Pep had been rescued only to then be forced to deal with an entitled brat. So the decision was made to find a new human for her, and she has been living her best life ever since.

thank you for taking junx in

😂great comment!

thank you!!

AMEN, to that! CATS DO NOT NEED TO BE OUTSIDE!! I preach that to ANYONE, & EVERYBODY that I know, or I overhear someone mention they have an outdoor cat. I’ve ran into some people who just don’t “get it”. As far as strays, who aren’t socialized? People will say that you can’t tame a stray/feral cat. YES, YOU CAN!! It takes a lot of time, & commitment…but, it can be done!! I volunteer at a few shelters around my area…I’ve seen A LOT of absolutely “heartbreaking” things…I SEE the toll of being outside cats, or stray cats is. It’s AWFUL(beyond words)!! I also foster cats, & kittens. If they don’t get adopted? I keep them until they are. I take rescue horses, rehab them..I work with a lot of Mustangs, too. Shelters are soooo full right now! I’m blessed to have A LOT of room. I have a cat house😸. A LOT of work, but, it’s worth EVERY second!

@@SkYwOmAn1 Its far from typical to be able to tame a stray. It seems like when they get old they are fine with being brought in.
