I think the cat vs dog debate comes down to one thing ,the personality of the human in the equation . I'm a cat person and totally unapologetic about it ,I have nothing against dogs I just don't want to live with one .I totally understand the appeal of dogs ,they offer a level of interaction ,attention ,obedience etc that most cats don't .There is something about cat energy and their way of being that is incredibly relaxing though ,for me there is nothing more comfortable than hours spent just "hanging" with my cat .

I had dogs growing up and have a cat now, and I must say I love both equally. Neither is better, they are both great companions but in different ways. What I find important is in fact to appreciate both pets for what makes them unique, and do not expect a cat to act like a dog or viceversa (which I saw happening more often than one would expect).

I was always a dog person until I met a wonderful lady who had a lot of cats! Never fewer than five, and usually many more! The time we spent together I got to know her cats and kittens and had such fun with them that I've "turned"! I live in a rural town now and a few months ago I was adopted by a feral cat. It took quite a while to get her used to being around me, but now we're just the best of buds! She's so cool I don't know how I even deserve her, but I thank the Lord that I have her companionship now!

I watched this with my cat napping on the arm of my chair and my dog sleeping at my feet and a smile on my face!

I have a Chihuahua and a Sphynx, the male cat thinks the chihuahua is his baby. My cat is very protective over her. 😊

We always had dogs when I was a kid and I continued that love affair as an adult, even working as an obedience trainer for many years. I had friends with cats and adored them all, but didn't adopt my first cat until I was in my early thirties. I had a dog at the time and, while they weren't exactly friends, they respected each other's space. Now I'm disabled and would be unable to properly care for a dog. I'm glad that cats are less physically demanding because I have four who make my world a happier place. For me, a house without paws would just never feel like a home. 🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾

I have a cat and a small dog (chihuahua mix) that I got when they were 8-9 weeks and only a couple months apart. They were basically raised together and started taking on each other’s traits. Everyone says they’ve never met such an outgoing cat. He’s like dog levels of friendliness and desire for attention. My dog has learned to be more agile and moves like a cat to keep up with him when they play. He even sleeps like a cat.

We've had a Bipetual home a few times, but our most memorable was when we had a GSD, Eva, and got a kitten we named Jade, and who would become Eva's adoptive daughter. Eva loved that silly kitten; they'd cuddle all the time, Eva would very gently play with her both as a kitten and young adult, she'd "groom" Jade (ie just get her all slobbery; Jade loved it), and jade would even groom her back (more neatly). Eva would let Jade climb her, make biscuits on her, rub all over her; they were just such a sweet unit. Eva, sadly, passed away when she was just six years old. Jade waited by the window for her to come home for weeks. Even our older cat, Max, was down for the longest time, and he was nowhere near close with Eva like Jade was.

Growing up, my mom got us a Maine Coon that never really liked me, she tried to scratch me and only wanted to be petted by my mom (looking back, she just did not like kids, as i grew older she started to accept me and did not scratch anymore but touches were still a taboo). I always felt more like a dog person BUT due to the fact that i love animals in general, I wanted to give cats "a second try" and after our furball Semy left us 4 years ago and my dog Paxton moved in that i bought, roughly 16 months ago, i got our furstorm Pebbles from the local shelter. She was found with some of her siblings abandoned outside. My dog is a very friendly sweetheart who would never hurt anyone or anything but i still thought that it might be a bit of work to get them to like each other. I was soooo wrong. Day one she tried to scratch him, day 2 she already was ok with getting smelled by him and on day 3 both shared the sofa for a nap and afterwards played together. She absolutely loves to chase his wagging tail and my dog always tries to bring her big ropes he plays with. If another cat is outside the window that Pebbles hisses at, Pax joins to "defend her". In general before anyone of us gets a "hello from them" the first thing that happens if they see each other after waking up (they sleep in separate rooms due to my work) or after Pax was an a walk, Pebbles gets a big kiss and Paxton's legs get headbutted like crazy. Both of them are so sweet together and i am so happy that I tried again with a cat while having a dog. So, to everyone who is thinking about introducing one of them into a household with one of the pets already in it: I urge u to give it a try. Of course be careful and give both pets space to get to know the other one at the speed and rate the pets want to and try to find "compatible personalities" (for example my dog is as I said very sweet and playful but a little whimpy so i got a cat that seemed very confident with a "no one tells me what to do" attitude.) If it works out, you have one of the sweetest unusual friendships at home that someone could wish for. I love my two furbabies so much

My dogs watched this video with wagging tails. The cat yawned and went to sleep. "Silly dogs, I've already told you all this!" Appreciate the vid, Jackson!

I have always been a dog person and grew up with dogs and having a dog. Then I took in a foster cat (that got a forever home here since I participated in saving her life ). I love this video and view it as a “parenting class”. All I know today is because of Jackson. I follow every advice and I have the best relationship with my cat. No issues what so ever. I really had to “accept” that you cannot expect the same things from a cat that you can from a dog.

I enjoy other people’s dogs, and understand why people love them. However, we have cats and totally adore them. Cats smell great and do not need to be walked early in the morning. Their play is wonderful, and ours usually love to cuddle. They take care of all the invisible monsters in our house!

I was pretty ambivalent about adopting a kitten in 2020, but now that I have my little ginger boy, I cannot imagine my life without him. He's my sweet, loving, energetic buddy and I'm so lucky he's in my life

I love my cat to tears. She has added so much joy to my life. I love other peoples’ dogs, but I know they are too much maintenance for me.

I always considered myself to be a dog person. My American stafford has been with me for the past 12 years and I never considered getting a cat. Until my mum rang me saying she'd found a tiny little kitten that is. He was malnourished and a little dirty, but otherwise healthy. Immediately, I felt that I had to keep him. Six weeks later, he's really coming into his own. I never expected I could enjoy a cat's company so much. Cats do adore you, they just show it differently.

I love this channel, not only fot the great content by a great guy, but also for the comments. Most people write pretty long and interesting stories, and because they are about life with pets, I can relate and love to read them. This channel feels like being with good friend, so thank you all.

I love this video! I was obsessed with dogs growing up. I still love my dogs very much, but when I bought my own home there were feral cats by my house. I trapped them. I got them spayed & neutered pronto. The female had to wait to be spayed, because she surprised me with four kittens. I spayed and neutered the kittens as well. I started seeing our shelter had a real cat crisis. More so than with dogs. When I fosterec dogs, my dogs would tolerate them but we're happy when they left. My cats on the other hand ... They weren't letting any cat or kitten I fostered, leave. Even when I took the new cat to the vet, my cats would hop on the kennel before I left the house with this look of, "You better sleep with one eye open tonight..." My cats are more pack oriented than my dogs. Or maybe they're just trying to start an army & take over. 😆💖🐾

Cats are better at hearing but whether or not they choose to listen is another story!😂💙

I grew up with only dogs. Your channel gave me the confidence to get my first car! I have had my 2 cats now for 3 years and I’ve had 3 foster cats!! They’re so spoiled and happy thanks to the advice from your channel!!!

I grew up as a dog person. My Mom always said that cats were nice but they killed birds so she didn't want one. Of course that was back when cats were mostly outdoor pets and dogs were generally allowed to roam free. Years later, my boyfriend - future husband - and I got a cat from a college friend. Dave had been raised with dogs and cats, but always considered himself a cat person. I wanted a dog to add to the family, which at that point included a ferret, so adopted one at our county shelter, and everyone got along fine. Fast forward a few years, and we were a household with a dog and five cats! We eventually made a cross country move, with all of them coming with us, and then another cross country move back with the same group of fur kids. They were all pretty well bonded with each other. My husband is gone now, as are all of that group of six that moved with us, and I now have a 63 lb dog and four cats. One of the cats is the dog's girlfriend. From the time she came to our house, she has been attached to him. The other three could take him or leave him, but she waits at the window while I'm walking the dog, and greets him when we come back. She and another cat are the first to greet me when I come home. During all this time, we've had a handful of cats who likes to fetch various objects, either milk bottle rings, twist ties, or toy mice. We've had cats that were cuddlers, cats that would come up and say Hi and then stroll off, cats that would groom each other, cats that were not interested in associating with the rest of the group - basically the whole range of what a cat might or might not be like. The biggest thing I've learned from these many years of sharing my living space with cats is that there are only a few traits that are really typical of cats. Everything else seems to be up for grabs! But I have learned so much about cat behavior from you, Jackson, and I thank you for teaching me, and for being an advocate for felines everywhere! May you continue this important work for many years to come!

The fact dogs are more closely related to walruses really cracked me up! 😹

Oh this makes me feel so much better! I thought I was just bad at playing with my cat because he's over it after a few minutes!

I have one of each - they are best friends with each other and I love having them in my life. I'm 63 and haven't had a pet in many years - then covid lockdowns came along and I got both these babies to keep me sane. One of my better decisions in life! 💞

My first cat, Sam, had a red package bow as his first toy. He loved it. Over the years when we bought bags of bows, Sam without fail would pick out the red bows as his first choice and leave the other colors behind.

For most of my life I've rented homes and apartments. It's been much easier to find a place that allows cats but much harder to find one that allows dogs. I love them both, always have.

I just realized that since 1979 till July 2022 I have continuously owned a dog (up to 3 at a time)! I have been dogless for the last 2+ months and it is strange. My heart won't let me get another one YET due to the shortage of vets in my area and wanting to avoid another emotionally and physically (for the pet) painful situation😢 HOWEVER, I share my home with 4 rescue kitties and they truly give me joy everyday!😺🥰💞

I had a dog, and now I have a cat now, totally different creatures with different needs, but at the end of the day they can be both great companions, it usually boils down to the personality and how you treat them and this is coming from a person that really thought that cats were cold-hearted and now is typing this with a cat on her legs

When you smile, your eyes smile too. I love it! Thanks for the great videos Cat Daddy! 💯❤❤❤

I grew up as a dog person, but then I got a cat and then another… and now I have 4 dogs and 3 cats. It is fun how all 7 have completely different personalities and relationships among each other

My main man died a while back, but he led a fine life as largely a result of not treating him as a little person or like a dog. The importance of respecting his individuality was largely down to you. Thanks for the content.

Jackson, I'd love it if you'd do a video on cats and dogs living together, especially for cat owners considering adopting a dog too! Like, how to tell if your cat would be likely or rather not likely to get along with a dog. Is it possible to pair a more senior cat with a dog for the first time in the cats life? What to look out for in a dog who is supposed to live with cats. How to introduce them, what the pitfalls are etc. My parents' neighbor used to be a ranger with a rather large hunting dog. My parents' rather senior cat and the dog met one day and, well, when the dog tried to defend what he considered being his territory, he picked the shorter end for the cat having claws and knowing where they hurt (the dog's nose). They've been best friends ever since but she was the boss, of course :D

Thank you for bringing the revolution to our homes and improving cat's and dog's lifes and communication with humans. HUMANITY OWES YOU!❤️ You made a second huge revolution since 12.000 years Jackson. Thank you for everything I've learned from you and all my cats (stray and the ones at home) are also saying thank you Jackson. ❤️

@Jackson Galaxy My cats have assimilated my dog! He thinks he's a cat. I've heard this strange sound-I think my dog is trying to meow! 😳

I have raised both together. Once when the dog was older and once when the cat was older and once when the two were babes together. They follow your lead on how to socialize together. They teach each other what is acceptable behavior towards each other and I taught them not to bite to kill. LOL! We became best of friends with me being the boss of them. It was great!

@13:18 - “Nobody’s better.” Thank you for saying this, Jackson! I’ve never understood some people’s obsession with pigeon-holing you into ‘cat’ or ‘dog’. If anyone asks me, “Are you a cat person or a dog person?”, I say, “Yes.” 😉

I guess I am a tripetual person...I have 5 cats, 1 dog and 13 silkie chickens who act like my guard dog as well as my cats...aloof! But I love them ALL regardless of their quirks or demeanor 🥰😍

Hi Jackson, I'm a 3 cat mama and probably a cat in a previous life. I love dogs also; but too comfy in my cat mama life to get a dog. Besides 3 cats are a lot to handle. Each needs mama differently, emotionally and physically. Jasper is 12, Leia is 4 (a bonded pair)and Yoda is 1. It has taken awhile to get Yoda integrated. We are still working on it every day. P.S. Your advice from videos has helped me so much through the years. Thank you!❤💋🫂

I have never felt more fulfilled and satisfied with life in general than when I had both a cat and a dog.

I've always had cats and love dogs...Each one has different needs that demand different energy...12 cats with one up to 18 years...but now a dog is just too much for me...Too demanding ..Love the smoothness of a cat...❤😊

I grew up with a dog and love dogs but as an adult cats are so much easier to accommodate to condo living. And they are so adorable and soft and totally sweet. 💖💖💖

cats and dogs are two very different creatures and they are both amazing in their ways that is why you can’t really compare them! I’ve grown with cats and dogs. Our family dog is now 14 years old and lives with my parents. I’m a parent of three wonderful cats and one lovely dog that recently turned 1! I cant even explain what they mean to me…they mean everything. although I Have to admit that I consider myself as a cat person. not saying I love my cats more than my pup or our family dog! but the personality of a cat is something beyond this world. the way cats love and trust is something different . You have to earn a dogs love and trust and dogs love you in a wonderful way! of course all dogs are different and all cats are different but to me, earning a cats trust is more challenging and somehow this makes a relationship stronger. Cats won’t raise their tails when they see you, they won’t “cry” or run around the house and jump all over you when they see you. but when I get home my cats will let me know they’re happy to see me. they will come to cuddle with me, they will sleep inside my arms, they will hug my arm gently,purr letting me know that they truly love and trust me. They will come to me anytime just to see me, to see what I’m up to, to play with me…they will get excited when I grab a toy, they will look outside of the window when I’m leaving...they know when I’m not feeling well, not all days are the same, all of them but especially one of my cats will not leave my side when I’m feeling down or when I’m sick and she will show me what I mean to her…I can’t imagine living one day without this love, It’s something I can’t explain. Of course my pup is amazing, he is the sweetest, very smart,caring and special!

I'm one of those people who don't own any pets but I watch this channel all the time! I find cats mesmerizing can't stop watching them. I think they're truly beautiful and unique creatures and if I could be a cat I would. Dogs on the other hand are also sweet and sometimes dumb and I find the bigger the better. Sadly though, I have terrible allergies to all animals and especially to the cats. I know some people take medication just to have them on board but I don't want to sacrifice my health for the pet. So I just watch them and all about them on this channel. Thanks Jackson for the info and entertainment.

Thanks so much for the colour vision info, I am pretty interested in this but find it a bit hard to sort out all the conflicting information out there. Cats really can see red, that's really cool.

Our two boys (two large cats -- now 10yo) were raised with full-size chickens and learned to respect them. If they ever got too close the hens would peck 'em and send 'em running. But then we got some much smaller banty hens and all bets were off . . . plus the boys were full grown by then. We could still let the larger hens free range in our 2/3rd acre fenced back yard but that was never an option for the smaller hens. :) Now we've been traveling with them (fulltime and offgrid in our 5th wheel) for 7 years and folks with dogs say they can't imagine traveling with cats? Cats are e-a-s-y to travel with though a typical travel day for us is only 2 hours or 100 miles. :)

Jackson, well, I was commenting and dumb phone threw me off and lost it! You gave great information, as usual! I was saying, I've always had numerous pets and could never say one was better than another. Many animals are every bit as sentient as we are, just in different ways. As for cats and dogs, part of our domestication of dogs was in choosing the ones who stayed less mature. And the original studies on alpha wolves, the first real researcher tried to correct his misinformation when he realized all he'd learned was moot by studying captive wolves. We now know much more after studying wild wolves.. The alpha pair care for the pack, very little domination needed. Just as we see in dogs, a confident dog is rarely aggressive, and fearful dogs are. I think if you're having to choose only one kind, a dog or a cat, it comes down to your lifestyle. And, I hope , if you can, you try to get two. Especially if you can't be home a lot. The one thing I will for sure commit to, is a neutered animal is ALWAYS happier, healthier and better all around. And for those who think it deprives them of sexual pleasure, nope! They can still have sex, if they want, just no babies and they won't tear a hole in your house to get to a 'mate' they can smell or hear miles away, lol. Please people, 'don't breed or buy while shelter pets die!' There is any number of 'purebred' dogs in shelters if you have a breed you're seeking, and there are 'rescue' groups on line for most breeds. Though I feel mixed tend to be healthier. 👍🌊💙💙💙🌊🥰✌

I have never owned a dog, however, my career path is working at veterinary clinics. I love ALL animals. I would love to have a dog. I will never be without a cat or cats in my life... because to me life just isn't worth living without animal friends.

You forgot the most important: Dogs bark and it's difficult to train that out, cats don't bark. As someone with anxiety who startles at abrupt loud noises, I find that a very important distinction. Speaking of training, it's important that dog owners put time and effort into socializing and training their dogs, while cat owners can train their cats, it's not a necessity for a happy relationship. Anyhow, you can see I'm more team cat but to each their own!

I have 2 dogs and 1 Siamese cat. I’m bipetual. :) The cat greets visitors at the door just like the dogs do. The cat is also very social and plays fetch very well (she’s actually the best fetch player in the house). All 3 get along but one of the dogs and the cat are besties. She definitely rules the roost compared to the dogs, but she is equally as friendly as my female dog and equally as clingy to me as my male dog.

My home is bipetual, and that combination is amazing and unique! Everyone should try having both cats and dogs, especially in families with kids! I have seven cats and a dog (unfortunately my second dog passed away this april, and the other one is fourteen years old), and both my dogs helped me and my kids rescue all of the seven cats. Their bond between themselves and bond with us is absolutely amazing and beautiful, and I just have to say that we are one enormously happy family!!!

I genuinely love both cats and dogs 100% I grew up with cats my whole life (my parents are cat people) but once we got a dog that I grew up with I really started to love both, bipetualism is such an amazing thing❤️ I have my two cats (my babies🥰) back home with my parents and my dog lives with me where I study atm 🥰 I wish to have both my dog and my cats (2 cats) in the same house one day ❤️ thank you for this video and I agree 1000%! 🙌😁

Nothing is more fun than watching interspecies play! Each does their own, and they also borrow from each other! Lotsa fun!

⚡️⚡️Yes Jackson, you are our guy! Thank you so much for everything you do to educate all pet lovers!! 😎💯👏🏼💖🐶🐱🙏🏼

I love dogs and cats and lots of animals! Thank you Jackson for sharing such interesting information about dogs and cats ! I loved this video ! Have great day ! : )

Thanks for the info, Jackson. It is so needed. Due to covid and its resulting isolation, cat adoptions skyrocketed and for many, it's their first pet. Unfortunately, cats are really mysterious and misunderstood. Your videos help a lot to unlock the mystery and help many to understand their little furry babies.

All my assumptions about the differences between cats and dogs demolished with a single video. Thank you, Jackson, very interesting!

We have 2 cats a male tiger tabby who is 12 and I leash trained him at 6 months old . A female tuxedo cat she's 7, we also have a female Jack Russell mix who is 4. I grew up with my dad rescuing " bully breeds" it was incredible. Jackson is SO right both animals are great family members.

Hi Jackson! You taught me so much about not only cats but PEOPLE! That is, people who don’t like cats are really just people who don’t respect boundaries. It’s my favorite question to ask new people- do you like cats? If they say no it’s an immediate red flag

A few years ago I brought in an older husky dog (11 years old with arthritis and a skin condition) to my home. My cats were incensed and hissed alot at him. He was very sweet and just wanted to be friends. I know because one evening he was on the couch and whimpering to one of my cats who was across the room. Just a little whimper and after the first few difficult weeks, both cats accepted him. One actually became his friend and accepted him even though he was a dog. This cat was originally a feral cat who fell in love with me and anybody who was a friend to me was a friend to him. So because I loved and petted the dog, my cat decided to be unafraid and accept the dog too! The other cat was afraid of how big the dog was but I saw her sniff noses with the dog on several occasions so I know she was accepting him too. He had several good years with us. I miss the dog. But my cats don't particularly miss him. They just watch me and whatever makes me happy they are fine with. Sometimes it seems that cats are just as domesticated as dogs because in a way, these guys look to me as the boss lady kind of like a dog looks to his human as an alpha dog in human form.

i think the cat v dog thing really boils down to our lifestyles. cats are more independent in the sense they can go in a litter box any time they need. it’s not like i have to think “i have to get home to take the dog(s) out.” i work long hours so that helps tremendously. i’m also somewhat busy with my lifestyle so i like that i am able to play with my kitty for a short time before every meal rather than stop my schedule and okay for hours with a dog.

We currently have 1 dog and 1 cat. I hope next summer we can foster some kittens and keep one. Maybe the following year we can get another dog. We love our fur babies!

Very informative! Great stuff, thank you Jackson! 😊

We have 5 cats, a dog, bunny and 2 ferrets. All animals are amazing!

Thank you Jackson for educating humans about this millennia old relationship we have with cats & dogs.

Thanks for posting this. Some information about our favorite pets that I didn't know, some I suspected and others I was already aware. 😁

I adore both dogs and cats! but they’re definitely very different in terms of their care and environmental needs and so are a good lifestyle fit for different types of people. My experience as a lifelong cat owner who brought up a puppy (alongside 3 cats) in the last 3 years: Dogs are a lot more work, especially up front getting them acclimated and *training*. But they can be much more rewarding, especially if you can establish a good relationship/communication with them. Cats are ~generally~ less work and just chill company most of the time, but actually controlling them is basically impossible. and if you do have cat problems, it can take a long time of creative problem solving/trial and error to work through. cat or dog, it’ll depend on the individual’s personality whether they’re easy or hard to work with, but in general you can really work directly with dogs through behavior problems via training, whereas cat problems often to need to be addressed through adjusting their environment.

Great video! I had no idea that cats as family members has been relatively recent. I am bipetual :). I was a dog person and then had friends and family with cats … fast forward to my husband leaving me (and our dog .. my insistence!). I went to the animal shelter and adopted a kitten who actually chose me. This was over 25 years ago and since, I have always had a dog and a cat. I love the unique relationship with each as well as how the cat and dog relate to each other. I had 1 cat dog pair that took me a year to be able to have them together. Cat was 16 and overweight (bad me!!!) and dog I adopted when he was 6 1/2 and not a “cat dog”. I did a bad job at the introduction and then was anxious since the cat was not as agile as a younger normal weight cat would be. Still … with help from a dog trainer (clicker training) we eventually all lived together in harmony. Loved the senses comparison. I often think that just for a short time I would like to smell and hear like a dog or cat. Thanks for this, Jackson!!

We are so thankful and grateful for you and the wonderful teaching and sharing you do with cat behavior. Both my husband and I love cats and thought we knew so much about them,but nope, we have and are learning sooo much more about them and their behaviors and how we can give them a wonderful life as we delight in knowing and including them in our home. We love having both a dog and a cat. We have for the past 28 years. We were given a sweet miniature poodle who needed a home at the beginning of the Covid lock down. Such a wonderful gift from the Lord. Our 18 year old cat Sami died three weeks later right after our BeBe (dog) won him over. Two years later we were blessed to adopt a sweet very skinny Ragdoll cat from our local animal care center. That’s when we started watching as many of your videos as possible on You Tube. Our Missy went from a skinny scared 1 year old to a GORGEOUS and SUMPTUOUSLY fluffy furry 1-1/2 year old beauty that has her Mojo. ❤

How cat low light vision works is very cool, you mentioned the tapetum lucidum but what this does is actually less allow them to take in more light and more allow them to use the light that they do take in twice. In humans for example our eyes work by focusing light onto our retinas, so the retina is the sensor that picks up an actual image, with cats, their retina actually lets light through to the other side, and that's where the tapetum is, it's pretty much a fancy biological mirror that bounces the light back through the retina again, allowing them to get more detail in low light by creating a composite image.

Hi Jackson, love your videos! I just noticed a couple of things in the evolution section. You talk about dogs being bred but it is spelled incorrectly as "bread". Also, the footnote says the earliest evidence of dog domestication was 14,000 years ago, but later in the section you state it was 40,000. As I said, I love your videos. thanks so much for all you do.

Great video😄 Dogs and cats are both affectionate loyal creatures if you treat them well but dogs are definitely more intelligent. I’ve trained my lovely active intelligent and fun loving cat to play hide and seek, kick a ball, play chase the stick etc but she’s never going to be able to raise an alarm, or alert me when someone’s at the door or take the washing out or save my life etc as a dog is able to with training.

Great video as usual Jackson, Thanks!

Wonderful video!! Thank you for all your nice videos. I love them all!!❤

I recently held my coworker's dog for the first time (it's a poodle crossed with something, fairly cat sized) and I was shocked at how solid the body was. Its whole trunk felt so much more...bulky? than a cat.

My dog obeys me. My cat looks at me like I'm speaking Ferengi. He does begrudgingly obey a verbal command (lie down) to get treats. He is 13 and it took 12 years.

Thanks Jackson. I loved that last part. You ARE our guy.

I miss your show is it really taught me a lot of stuff but I subscribe to your channel and I don’t know why people aren’t because you’re very educational and I really appreciate that thank you keep the cat flown going😂

For me I feel like having a dog is like having a pet, and having a cat is like being a pet 😂. I absolutely loved all the dogs I've had in my life, and my new kitten buddy. At this point I really can't say either is better they're just different! One day I'd love to have another dog in my life (I do miss being able to "manhandle" my friend a bit more during playtime lol) but for now I'm more than happy just being my cat's loyal pet.

Dog comes to greet me at the door. So does my cat. Dog wants to play. Cat does too. Mine flips onto his favorite chair and wiggles his butt while watching me for the game to begin. You can train dogs. My cat sits on command, and he presents his paw for treats. I’m teaching him to fetch. He’s my little doggykitty. But I respect his catness. He!s the best!

I’m subscribed, you’re the best Jackson 🙌 always recommend your videos to first time cat owners!!

Awesome video! Loved hearing about the differences.

Excited to watch this!

I love that you mentioned the 'ghosts' aspect of cat vision.... often over looked.

Thank you, Jackson. That was far more interesting than I expected when I read the title.

We have a 90 pound mutt, Henry, and an 11 month old cat, Juno. Juno knows when it’s Henry’s time to be with me. Henry always keeps an eye out for Juno. Jackson, Juno and I loved watching this video together- it was Juno’s time. Thank you ❤

I was bipetual for 14 years but my cats died this year within 4 weeks of each other so now it's just my dog. I've recently become a foster home for rescue dogs though! One day I'll be ready to adopt again but for now, I can help dogs in need 🥰

Thank you Jackson that was very interesting. Our animal family are amazing. 😺

Thankyou so much fr!! this helps so much with my current assignment.

This is really one of the most interestingly educational episodes you've done, and I absolutely love it!

My dog missed the memo on how she's supossed to be different from our cats 🤣 She's been rubbing against us just like our cats because we raised her with them.

Bipetual Lifestyle!! Loved it! I always wanted a cat but my parents absolutely HATE THEM, but now I have a dog and a kitten ♥! Your videos are helping a lot Jackson, really appreciate them. It helped me to introduce them, specially to my boyfriend's cat, which was harder than with my dog! 🤷‍♀

Light love and mojo. Back at ya! Absolutely ❤your stuff!!!

I have three large dogs and two cats currently. Before just one cat till he passed. They get along so well as long as they have their needs and space. Its truly amazing how adaptable we can all be once we try. Great video. Thank you!

I’m sure everyone knows that cats still need love and play and attention despite common perceptions that they’re loners. However, I find that dogs are more needy and persistent for my attention, which can become overloading for me. I love them, they’re sweet, but I prefer being with cats because they also have moments where they need to be left alone, and I vibe with that.

Can you please mention in a video the difference in height between cats and people, and how cats are afraid of our height and often it's best to get your body down to the cat's hight if the cat is afraid. I do it all the time, works every time.

I grow up with so many different animals all together don't know how must of them got along but one of our cats got in are bird cage and ate one of the birds. Everyone was upset at the cat and wanted to put him on the street. We were all in the car and they put the cat out and I got out with him. As I was holding the cat my little self said if the cat goes I go so the cat came back home. I had snakes, rabbits, and hummingbirds because the mom didn't come back so we took them in. A baby possum that was hurt on the side of the road took them in. I always said I wanted a Vulture in my life but don't see that happening. All animals are wonderful. Thank you for sharing your love of cats so people understand them better.

Love your videos Jackson, been watching now for a few years but in particular since Jan 2021 when we lost our Misty(tabby with white socks and chest who was a smallish cat but so agile and beautiful and a lot of fun too) she was 2 weeks short of 21yrs old when she died in our arms and an outdoor cat who always had the freedom of a catflap 24/7, what a hunter and climber she was in her younger days too, bringing us gifts everyday....mostly rodents, she seemed to prefer just to watch the birds and never really went for them. Your show has been an immense source of comfort. Almost getting to the point now where we may get ourselves another kitten, its been unthinkable so far with Misty being a family member for so long and imagining another cat in her nests around the house and garden. What a cat she was, so clever, so sensitive, so familiar but also retained a degree of her innate wildness.....and she was the best goalkeeping coach my young son had in his childhood, she used to sit quietly by his side and watch him do his homework too which was beautiful to watch, she adored him. She used to play fetch with us too. Your show is brilliant Jackson, keep up the good work! Meeeeeoooow! Purrr purr purrrr

I use my cat as a food smeller as I can't smell hardly at all! My cat kept me from watermelon Ecoli! And other spoiled foods!

Yes, Bipetual life! Both cats and dogs are so special in their own way and you don't need a favourite, you can love them both

I really enjoyed this video. It was very informative,and Well Done!

I own both and love them for different reasons. Nothing gives me more peace than being in nature with my cats. They are so centered and grounded. But nothing makes me feel more loved than being with my dog. They are the ultimate companions because they are so attentive. I couldn’t imagine my life without either of them. I did not know that cats have only been domesticated a short time. Fascinating. I wonder how they will evolve as more years go by living with us.
