The infamous "I'm 👀 at you, but don't want you to know" gaze, perfected by both cats *and* dogs. 😂

"Hey... what're YOU looking away from ME for?" 😑

Spooky's name checks out

My cat does the exact same....u call her and cuddle her . Her face is turned then soon as you look away she's like. Look at meeeeeeee 😅🤣

I whistle for my cats, too. 1 tune for in. 1 tune for out.

I can just feel the euphoria you felt

I'm sorry to hear that the cat passed away but that's so awesome that you were able to earn it's trust! When I was in 3rd or 4th grade we moved and it was a house out in the country that was part of a farm. The houses out there are so far apart that you can't see your neighbors house and I could stand outside and scream as loud as I could and no one could hear me. Well when we moved in we noticed there was a cat living in our bushes that had kittens. They were maybe a week old. My mom and stepdad started buying cat food because I wanted to feed them but the mama cat still wasn't willing to allow us to pet her. That was at the beginning of fall and I kept working hard to earn her trust. I would just sit on the porch and talk sweet to her and just be there with her. One day I was just standing there and noticed she would walk in circles around around me and rub up against my legs, and I could hear her purring! Winter came and I was still going out on the porch and I would just stand there and let her rub up against my legs. It would be freezing cold but I knew that if I could tame her then my mom would let me bring her in the house, so I would stand on the porch and let her rub up against my legs and just be in her presence for hours in the freezing cold. Finally one day she was rubbing up against my legs and purring super loudly and I just slowly put my hand up to her and she sniffed my hand and then rubbed her head on my hand and I just started petting her! I wanted to scream in excitement but I didn't want to scare her so once I went back inside I ran and told my mom. She was really proud of my accomplishment! But anyway, we called her "Kitty" lol and she would come inside and she had a litter box that she used but she was never fully an indoor cat. She would cry at the door to be let outside and she would be gone for several days. But we always knew when she was back because she would leave a dead mole or dead mouse on the welcome mat 😂 I think that was her way of giving us a gift so even though it was gross, it was sweet of her! It's the thought that counts!

Can you define “core memory” because that ain’t a thing. Just broken people with a shattered memory because they stuff everything down deep have these “core memories”.

Core memories hold emotional value. One's wedding day or graduation day might be a day you remember with pleasure.

Spooky the Cat: Im going to train my human to do WHAT EVER I want LOL 😹

She didn't even tell us what shampoo she used

@@knowwhatimeme CatSpace Catnip Herbal Shampoo?

​@@ahmetmetinuzunIgnore the perv troll.

lol, I was impressed she is willing to put herself and her hair all over the ground to win her over And the transporting from Zimbabwe part wasn’t too bad either

The same with people leaving South Africa.

@@louisevanderlinde8590 And Spain.- I've seen so many people do that, sickening. I was adopted by 4 when I lived there who I got back to London. Two died (FIV) in England but the other two came with me here to Portugal and died at the age of 17. Bloody heartbreaking. But I knew I had the ability to help more little souls and currently have 12 to feed - mad cat lady, me. Most of them are outdoor cats (although they sleep inside)....they were born here but still, I'm not allowed to touch them. Maybe one day. Three are rescues, living a life of ease and luxury. I cannot understand how anyone could abandon an animal - those people are evil and have lost the right to call themselves human. You take on the respnsibility and they trust you - yes, it's a trial to get them from one place to the other, but it simply has to be done. There is no option.

Many, many thanks for not leaving them behind!!❣️

I heard ppl suggesting i should 'let my cats go' if i move country again, as in dumping them outside 😠😤 i wonder if they'd let themselves go homeless voluntarily 🤔

​@@boomashka - An excellent query to put to them...I'd ask them: "Do *you* just dump those who've depended on you for food *and* a home, just for conveniences sake, 'friend'...?" Their replies should be...most 'interesting'. 🤔

It doesn't count when the cat is too old to gaf

@@knowwhatimeme My female def qualifies as old.. She's almost 17... & she DEF gives af lol.. No one but my husband & I can touch/hold her. It took around a year or so for her to fully trust & love me.

@@MiZzBee1 that's good to know. My friends cat took that long to trust me. If that was indeed the case, and not cuz it was too old to gaf 😇

@@knowwhatimeme 😄😄lol that's funny. It really is so rewarding & it feels amazing when you finally earn a cat's true love & trust. 💙💙

my mom got us chicken and on the first day my mom made those kissy noises and they would come running over and she gave them leaves, seeds etc.

Aw. Dang... most people don't have that much patience. This is super cool

And to casually decimate every native bird, lizard and rodent species (on top of pest mice which are their only useful factor). The land where cats live is devoid if small critters, when compared to the fresh meadows which are being legally kept clear of the strays by hunters. I get that some people crave companionship, so they rewire their parental instincts to cats. I just don't want to see them past the 200 meters line from the nearest fence. Native fauna is way more delicate and precious than the Whiskas chomping disease.

Hehe! “Purrsistance” 👏🐾🩵

Agreed, she is fine as hell …

Just be her

I loved how she had no issue with laying down on the bricks with no concern for her or her clothes. All for the possibility of better relations with the cat.

You are an awesome human being for taking care of your feral friend the best you could. I'm sorry for your loss

he was a friend if he chose to be near you. just feral cats sometimes are a bit overcautious. but you gave spooks a good life and company ❤
