So, in other words, my cat runs my house, not me. Well, you can’t spell HOMEOWNER without MEOW.

My cat slipped on a newly waxed floor and I laughed...she didn't look at me for 3 days

Cats do understand they've misbehaved, they are smarter than we give them credit for

My 25 year old just passed. She was always pretty ornery, but at the end it was both an honor and sad that she’d request help to get on the couch and would put her head on me.

I am a cat owner of one year. I didn't know how much they communicated with certain cues. They are highly intelligent. But you have to pay attention.

In 1969, when I was 8 years old and in 2nd grade. I had a life-changing event. Our family cat was pregnant and one night she decided to have her kittens on my pillow while I was sleeping. And, she had only given birth to two yet. My family has always had cats. But they always become, by their choice, my cats. Almost all talk to me, too.

Hi all. I have 11 cats, Boo-Boo, Patch, Emma, Devon, Penny, Lottie, Abbie,Josh, Charlie, Cooper, and Jacob. They are indoor babies, desexed and very Loved and spoiled. They follow me around even to the loo. They are all amazing! Always wait for me to come home and sleep on and around me all the time. I am building an enclosed pergola also rainproof so they can enjoy the outdoors safely and I can spend time outside with them. Sofa, scratching trees, perches lots of things to play with and a safe firepit. Being loved by a cat/ cats is the best blessing there is.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I have a feral cat and as you can imagine the do's and don'ts are very different. I got him from the local rescue when he was 3 mos and thought he was just a regular cat. He came directly from their little cage to my home, (kitchen-food) up in the high Southwest mountains, so he never got a chance to become "feral feral". After a yr I concluded he was very different and thought well he was a mountain cat. That didn't feel right and when he was 3 I looked up feral in wiki and the definition was exactly him. He has always slept with me, walks on my head in the morning, talks to me all day. He loves me, I love him, the house is as much his as it is mine, but he is special, he is an empath, he understands when I talk to him, often he's like a people. His DNA won't let him do somethings and makes him do other things. For the first time in 4 yrs he came and sat in my lap and stayed, is the ultimate hunter

Great video. I already knew much of this. One thing I would like to add is that if a cat wants you to follow them somewhere, then do it. I had my cat lead me to her injured litter sister that my neighbour owned.

I’ve had cats my whole life. Yet, I always learn something new here. Thanks for the tips you provide with these videos.

As a younger energetic cat, my cat was constantly breaking things. Now when I say "dammit", he stops and doesn't move for a few seconds, then resumes whatever he's doing. When I arrive home I get a 15-minute lecture, and recently when I was gone for 2 1/2 days I was lectured constantly for 1 1/2 hours. My cat owns the entire home - I'm just the interloper who pays for his food and home.

This video taught me that as long as I avoid treating my cats the way my mom treated us kids growing up, then I'm good! All I need to do is acknowledge that they have a love language specific to their species psychology and to pay attention to it, listen to their needs as they learn to ways communicate them to me, and respect them as individual beings that operate much differently than myself! Pleased to say that our cats very undoubtedly love us! They even flop over to demand a belly rub when they see myself or my husband enter the room.

When I leave / come home or wake up / go to bed, I always try to greet everyone. I say their names and give them pets. When I get home from work, they also get a treat. I learned somewhere about snapping your fingers to get their attention and redirect them. 9 times out of 10 it works.

My cat minnow is a rescue from a hoarding situation with 73 other cats. It’s taken almost two years but she now loves sitting in my lap. She’s very specific about where and when she wants to be touched. She’s a long hair and her aversion to brushing of any kind makes it very difficult to groom her. It has necessitated having her shaved. We are still working on it, gently and carefully.

My cat,Henry is so close to me, I feel like he's my shadow. And I love it. He sleeps with me, and I follow " routine"Lol. Seriously, Henry does have a specific routine. I know when he wants to play with his favorite toy, when he wants to take his cat nap, etc. All the cat owners know exactly what I'm talking about ❤

Thank you for making scented litter your number one thing to avoid ! So many cat owners don’t understand this. The greedy companies and stores don’t care. There are many more scented litters on the shelves than unscented.

My cat figured out where the red light comes from so she looks at the dot, then at my hand, as if to say she's not going to fall for that again. LOL

So much good info. I’m 83 & have had several, long lived, cats but I’m still learning. THANKs to YOU😻

I never gave thought to cats having deep emotions, until twice, my 10 year old cat became suddenly, well, almost dead. The first time, I was having a bad day, and I pushed him off of his favorite spot: cuddled up next to me on the couch. I was mad at something else, and didn't realize what I had done until I found him the next day, hiding behind a door. He was alive, but %95 unresponsive. He sat awkwardly on the floor half standing, half sitting, gazing into the abyss, saliva around his mouth. It took hours of love and apologies for him to begin to respond to stimulus, and a full day before he walked, ate food, and drank water. He made a full recovery. The first time it happened, I didn't get it. I though he ate something poisonous. The second time I caused it, I got it, and I've never pushed him away while angry at something stupid since. I'm %1000 more loving and understanding to him now, and he's forgiven me. Who's the bigger man?

My cat was a feral, she still doesn't like other people but I can do what I like with her, when I eat she has to eat as well, she loves to curl up with me for a long cuddle

Great advice. A tip Cats can’t stand the pet carrier as necessary as it is to do things like take them to the vet. I figured out where my cat would go when he was really scared. That is where I stored his carrier. I would find him sleeping in it.

I love spending time with my kitties and their other kitty friends. Just being around them makes me happy. They follow me everywhere I go. Yes even the shower. They’re always there and I carry on a conversation with them like I would be talking to another person. They seem to enjoy this. 😻

My 3 cats either greet me when I walk into the house or when I sit down. Their favorite hunting toy is a fish on a stick, and they play with by themselves sometimes. All three cats like their heads, necks, backs, and butts scratched and their butts patted. The female doesn't mind her belly rubbed. My cats find new spots to sleep in all of the time. I might scratch a head as I walk by but don't really bother them when they are relaxing. I yell "no" if they are doing something I don't want them to do, other than that, I don't punish them because they see punishment as being abused. If one of my cats meows, it gets petted. I have one that meows about every half hour wanting attention. Sometimes, he meows from another room, and I yell "what' and he comes running to me. While getting attention, the males sometimes lick my knees and rub their faces on me to mark me. I don't get much company, but I had a salesman at the front door the other day and a couple of the cats were there wanting to know who I was talking to. The cleaning solutions and air fresheners i use don't seem to bother my cats. I don't get any alone time when I am home. Whether I am cooking, washing dishes, doing laundry, showering, using the toilet, brushing my teeth, on the computer, watching TV, or scooping their poop and flushing it down the toilet, one or all three cats are with me. Whichever male cat lies down on the bed first, sleeps with me at night. I have three cats that love attention and get a lot of it.

I think the biggest thing i learned from this is giving Angus a treat or a toy to attack after we use his laser pointer. Even though we dont really use that much over actual physical toys i like actually seeing him grab something. I dont think my cat has a no pet zone except his toes if u touch his belly he will roll over and let u pet it even if he is just meeting u for the first time. He loves humans who are calm and will gently pet him

Great video! A tip. When I adopted a cat for someone, I put him in the a room he would be in a lot but not a huge area. I put his litter box food, water and the things that were considered his. I did this in the smallest room I could that was not a bathroom. I then left for several hours. I gave him time to know he was safe and gave him time to study his environment so he would feel safe. When I came home I went into that room and closed the door. I played a video that was not loud as far as violent but soothing. I made zero effort to seek him out but let him make that decision. Within hours that cat was purring after having lost his safe spot.

I also have a feral cat, who, for being as skittish as she is from what I could tell was a hard life; she is extremely sweet, loving, and bonded to me. But I think she will always be on ‘high alert’ for what she perceives as threats; this video was very helpful in reminding me of little things to bear in mind with her. My other cat is very laid back and has accepted her into the household, that makes me very relieved as I want her to ‘get away’ from that miserable first 3 months of her life. She has several areas that are her zones, I’ve had her a year now and she has gotten comfortable with my cat and two small dogs! So I’d say she’s overcome a lot right there. We love her very much!

I had been doing this with my cat and maybe that why we had such a close bond until I call him my soul mate!

DOGS have MASTERS... CATS HAVE STAFF!!!

I read a book. Buddhism for Pet Lovers, 4 years ago i turned off TV until 7 at night, I started meditating before bed and she started sitting near me, now she sits on my belly in the morning, I have hearing problems, I knew they had better hearing, but I didn't realize how loud tv was, I started wearing hearing aids the VA provided with a bluetooth device so no loud sound, I am told that if she has tail up in air, and constantly laying with her belly exposed meant she feels secure, every christmas I play a video of Amazing Grace w/bagpipes, she loves it. Only music she likes, rewarding after the red dot is new,mi will try it, I call Baby my guru because I learn so much from her. She is my last kitty, had her since she was 3 weeks 🙏🙏🙏

My cat is almost a year old, this is my first cat and she's the best I can't believe it but I'm a cat person now 😊

I my Molly will start a loud meowing when she thinks it is time for my Toy Poodle to come back in.

Our two cats tolerate each other. They're both wonderful in their own ways and diffusers seem to help keep them calm. Thanks for all your suggestions. great content!

My cats favorite places are literally everywhere. I have no choice but to invade. I need love too🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don’t have any felines right now but this is good for my future feline partners.. thank you

A word about the litter box substrate. I've changed to wood pellet bedding from the feed store. BEST THING I'VE EVER DONE. Nine dollars for a forty pound bag. Smells better. Easier to use. Cats like it. Doesn't track dust.

My cat likes heavy metal rock and roll Eddie Van Halen's guitar

We have feral cats that are slowing accepting us. Then, one large male Tom came into the mixture. He is very territorial and aggressive with the other 4 cats, especially the males. He makes feeding time so stressful for the others as well as us. They have all been neutered and the tiny female is the only one to put him in his place. Also they are all outside cats.

If people cared as much about other people as they do their cats the world we live in would be a much better place.

The night routine of my cat isnt always the same. Some nights he sleeps at home and other nights he spend them outside but...every morning wen im preparing for work he follows me asking for petting and he knows that will recieve it😅 next asks for food , eats and go to sleep... Wen i leave he is already sleeping (again) happy and feeded ( His name is Gato)

Lili and I have been together for 17 years. We love each other. Meow

I didn't learn anything, I knew these things. But it was informative, well presented and enjoyable to watch.

Good advise ❤

I have 3 cats, Maggie, Khloe and Daisy, Khloe is a boy though 😊

My husband and I have four male cats that are rescued. One of them has resource aggression. He has anxiety so he’s on medication. When he gets aggressive I walk over and calmly scoop him up and bring him to my sewing room. This is his safe spot. I close the door and play with him. He has a bed in the window, a water fountain, litter box, and toys in there. After he tells me that he’s done playing, he hops into his bed and takes a nap. I close the door for him so he isn’t disturbed by the others. He loves it.

1:07 For myself, the best tip I got from this video is the one about the laser pointer. #8: 'Disregarding Their Hunting Instincts!'. I've used it with all my feline babies over the many years I've owned cats, but I never even considered that without some kind of reward after play, that they might be MORE tense AND frustrated because their hunting instincts were not completely satisfied -- but the logic is so simple and makes complete sense. This may also explain why my cat will often quickly become bored with the laser pointer -- this has always puzzled me. Your insight is much appreciated! I definitely will keep this tip in mind the next time I use the laser pointer. Thank you!

Is it possible that I am... a cat?

Frank The Cat is so mellow now. When I got him he was a rescue from a home of 5 cats. Needless to say my Alpha boy is just a happy boy now.

My Baci since I had him for 8 years and he pees in front of the door and not the litter box and lately he's not been aggressive with my other cat Striker. I believe when I meditate the meditation music soothes them and at times they join me or they even meditate on their own.

Excellent video! I have attempted to convey this information to people for decades. Thank you for making it available for so many!

Thank you so much for another great video! The tuxedo kitten at 6:52, so lovely and cute 🤍😽🙏✨

My lobster went from a dumpster, rowdy and stressed baby, and with lots of love and patience, grew into such a good boy.

damn, number 2 was something i never thought about. the last one i do every time cause one of my cats doesn't cover his poop and it always smells so i always tried to get deodorizer or good smelling litter. i will keep this in mind litter shopping. in my opinion not scented litter shouldn't be the same price as scented either

5 cats here ...in order, Mr Eye 12 years old and 95% blind since birth, Marvin, 8 years old, my twins Mon Cheri and Ira Knuddelbug both 3 years old, and Chicken (Chic) 2 years old. All are outdoors and indoor cats. They eat in the House (People dump their cats in my area and i don't feed the strays). They are waiting at the door in the mornings to be let in so they can eat. After feeding they go back out side. And all day long they are in and out of the house (mom needs exercise you know🤣) I have a doggy door that i sometimes open for them, but Mr Eye brought me mice before, so now it usually stays shut. Only when i work outside the house and i am always in and out myself, i will set their food dish outside...

My cats like a baby and i say can i tickle your tummy and he rolls on to his back purring

As of March 27th I had 2 beautiful babies. Unfortunately I had to surrender them when I moved. Recently found my oldest was recently adopted out. My youngest took off the day I was try to put her in the carrier. It’s been 2 months since I seen her. She got a microchip last year. I was told that who I got the chip from, they could set out alerts for the missing cat. I don’t know if that’s true. I ache for both of them. Therefore postings on instagram, facebook, and even my physical therapist sent information, including Angel’s pictures out to other shelters. I wish someone would see her already and tell me something. Set my mind and heart at ease❤❤❤….

I have 10 cats. One of my cats brings me toys each night and meows for me to acknowledge the kill and get a treat.

😮 that’s so funny, my huntress just brought me a huge live field mouse into the house,and promptly let it go!! Really hard to tell her good job..! But ya have to.

I guess I don’t have a normal cat. Ruby thinks she’s a dog and loves belly rubs. She also cusses me out when I come home. Even when I only went to the store across the street for a few minutes.

OMG!!! I love this video because I have always said I have the personality of a cat. Every little nuanced caveat in this video about cats can be applied to me. I should make all future partners watch this 😂😂😂😂

I don't have any pets but there are neighbours cats that come into my garden, which I don't mind, but this is helpful as now I know how to interact with them. Thanks for sharing.

We found out that the wood chip variety of cat litter works AWESOME compared to the clay!! It clumps better and absorbs the smell. Plus it's a LOT lighter too.

Thank you! Sort of knew this in back of head.

I run a cat rescue, currently with 19 cats living in my house. I have never had a single problem adding another cat into the rescue, an amount of hissing and tussling for hierarchy is normal. Cats also don't only speak because they are saying hello or need your help. Often they have caught a toy in some way that they feel was worthy of note and want praise for it. This happens to me with several of mine, they will meow for hours if you ignore them. But if you give then a little praise over their catly actions they quiet right down.

Yours vids are amazing! I can’t wait for when I can get my own cat, and now I’m going to use your videos to learn. Please keep making more ! 🐱

These are all excellent tips 👍👍♥️😻

Thanks, your information is right-on, having lived with cats for seven decades, always with deep attachments. One thing I can't understand is having a litter box (except for inclement weather). With any bit of land around a dwelling, cats easily learn to do their bizness before being called in for the night. Their tidy habit of covering things up is really perfect.

I put my babies in timeout when they go out back and leave the yard. For their time out they have to go on the screened in back porch and believe it or not it works now when one goes out of the yard I will tell them they have time out and they will go straight to the back porch

I got a new rescue kitten last week. Our 1.5 yr old tabby girl is still mad at me 😂I've given her treats and she still mad at me

My cats safe and cosy place is my bed even though they have their own beds in their own room - they are indoor/outdoor cats.

I don’t believe in yelling or pushing a cat away. But I also don’t believe in rewarding ( giving them something to distract) them when they lay on things that you are doing/working on. But….that is what I do! I reward them with laughter hugs and kisses! I give them the attention they are looking for.

We have 12 in the house at nite- out thru the day -all fixed all go to the vet regularly all fed wet food morning and eve all get along well. They are our support for lack of children and although there are some small things occasionally but generally all is great I got me a cat wo m an lol

My cat loves to have his belly rubbed. He’s two yrs old.

God Bless the poor Baby, now and forever. She has had a wonderful Mama. Sorry you lost her xxxxx

Watching this made me realize I'm a cat.

Excellent video in understanding cats and their behavior. Human owners bear the responsibility of owning and changing behaviors which do not support their pets. Thank you for this information.

I love talking to my cats! I had to switch to unscented litter b/c 2 of my cats were allergic and developed a urinary track issue. We burn incense to help with the odor and clean the boxes alot!!

Thank you for sharing this ❤

I subscribed. I like your videos ❤

Great info thank you❤

A scratching post? She wasn't interested!!😂

I feel the most awful person. Over the last 2 years I've become increasingly sicker, unable to do daily chores all the things. My two cats are highly aware something isn't right. They aren't getting their playtime. I talk to them all day and night. Always loving on them but I don't think this is enough? What to do?

I tell all my pets they are so pretty and I give them kisses. I always say hi mommy’s home and they greet me. I love my babies.❤

I enjoy your videos and learning so much! I've had cats all my life, but we've just adopted a new baby Scottish Straight, Kujo!😻

❤good video

Thank you for helping me to be a better cat owner. 3 cats. Junie, Aurora, & Ariel 🐈🐈🐈

Lordy. We play music all the time. If the house/ is quiet we must be dead.

thanks a LOT for the USEFUL information PERIOD

Wow! I learned a lot! I have had cats but never knew much about them. I had no idea😊! Thank you.

I have 2 fur babies my girl 🐈‍⬛Sphinxy is 2 & my fat boy 🐈Khaki is 1 TY for educating🫡 much appreciated 🤗

Love the long conversations with my cat. We get each other. :)

I think I’m doing everything right from your video. Some people are part kitty like I always say I am! Great video!

I generally try not to disturb my cat when he sleeps, but if I'm passing by and I see one of his eyes open to look at me, you'd better be sure I'm swooping in to give him a kiss on his fuzzy forehead.

This is a great channel, thank you for your tips. Hope alot of people can learn from it like I have, purrfect 😊

Very useful information about the cat's well being👍👍👍🐾😾🐈‍⬛🐈

I have a mental health issue and I have mostly had female cats to help me with my mental health issues but they have died and now I have a male cat who loves to play with me and jump in to my arms in the morning before breakfast and likes rubbing his head against my legs 😊

My princess can do what ever she wants

I never hurt my cat

Lots of good advice. I’d like to add,tell your cat you’re leaving and how soon you will be back. Especially, if you’re going on vacation or anything is changed.

This I have learned is frue. Absolutely
