He tortures the cat but the cat is the pack leader. He’s too scared and timid when the cat continually asks him not to touch his stuff. But Josh still does anyway. Against the cats will bc he thinks he knows what the cat wants more. How would you like it if someone keep touching your stuff when you asked them not to? Would you call them accepting if they kept forcing their touch on you?

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

Lol ok so, as amusing as it was to watch, I’m guessing this is both of your first time with an outside kitty? Remember, he’s had to fight for everything that he’s ever needed or wanted in his life thus far; food, shelter, his own territory. I adopted 2 kittens who had grown up feral, & although I’d grown up on a farm with feral kitties, owning them was a completely different ball game. They taught me so much patience. He needs stimulating; he needs places to hide, to scratch, to jump, think of large cat trees (you can get them where they attach to the ceiling - they just slot in), kitty shelves for the wall, boxes with cut outs for him to entertain himself, he’s used to all of that outside space & suddenly he’s confined & it’s likely overwhelming for him. Have your boyfriend feed him sometimes, he’ll see both of you as his provider. Groom him - although he’s short haired, it can bring a sense of calm to them & de-stress, but go gentle, I just buy little combs from the pound shop (dollar store?) - no need to buy fancy brushes, it does the job & my kitties loved it. Let him sniff it, rub his face against it, just stroke his face with it to begin with & build his trust up with it. Treats are great! But try not to reward bad behaviour. If he’s lashing out & you’re then giving him treats, in his mind he thinks well.. I’ll do that more often! Cats are far more intelligent than most people realise lol. But yes.. patience is key. Try not to mess with his bedding either. If he loves a certain pillow, let him be, as that obviously brings him comfort. Thank you for your kindness in helping this little guy out! X

[@dhutch13]

excellent advice! these people are very kind and mean well, but they're not really understanding the cat's needs. messing with his pillow, clearly a source of comfort to the poor cat, only makes him feel more days insecure, hence his lashing out. I hope they try to learn more about cat behaviour for the cat's sake, as well as their own. I feel sorry for the cat, actually.

[@gaylaroof612]

GREAT advice!!

[@Scott-wf9kp]

@@dhutch13 I was thinking the same thing. He's clearly a very sweet cat! But some of his spicy behavior is probably a reaction to his own fear, discomfort, and/or insecurity. I think these people truly love him but they might not understand how to interact with him. Thank you both for your comments, great advice all around!

[@hannajung7512]

And try to not corner the cat or approach him from above. He feels threatened. If you have a gift for him, place it some meters away on the floor, let him investogate on his terms what this new strange smelling thing is. Remember allways: cats do not understand human. A direct look is a threat for a cat. Approaching them on a direct line is a threat. Making sounds CAN be seen as a threat depending on how well the cat understands that humans communicate with sound to be friendly. Adult cats usually do not do that with each other. This cat probably does not at all hate this men. He is just scared and overwhelmed by the very blunt and noisy approaches of this giant being.

[@skatingcanuck9837]

It was kind of you to adopt the two kitties and take the time to write so many helps tips. The one thing I would add is he needs places to put his scent (like the cat tree you mentioned) since they are territorial.

[@shawnaweesner3759]

To Oreo’s owners: Every time you insist on continuing to interact with Oreo when he acts hostile toward you, you are re-enforcing his (Oreo’s) hostile behavior toward you! You should ignore Oreo’s hostile behavior immediately upon any show of hostility toward you. For example, if you pick up his pillow, and Oreo has a fit, immediately drop pillow, turn and leave. Neutrality is what you’re looking for with this cat. Also, give Oreo his own special area. Set it up with a cat tree, comfy bed, his pillow, treats, cat nip, his toys, and his food/ water bowls-even if it is only a corner of the living room. I would do the same in the bedroom! It is important to offer more cat beds, so Oreo doesn’t feel he has only 1 bed in the house that is his. Finally, the man needs to spend more positive time with Oreo. Bring Oreo’s favorite treats with him when he comes to the house. If Oreo accepts a pet, and a treat, give him 1 pet and a treat and walk away! What you are doing now is poking the Bull, and that’s not nice!

Some cat owners just need to take a few minutes to understand their cat, take the time and you’ll be rewarded a thousand times over. Just watching this video I can list a bunch of things they’re doing that stresses the cat out. They’re adding to his stress but he loves them anyway, what a beautiful cat. ❤️

[@NIH1966]

Agreed. The guy (Josh) has good intentions but he is looming over the cat (including with the large pillows) and making him really anxious. There are lot of things he could do better that would get a better reaction from the cat. You can also see in the clip when "mom" pets Oreo she comes from underneath to scratch his chin but when "dad" tries to pet Oreo he brings his hand in from above, which is stressing the cat out.

[@verifiedtoxicangel2411]

that's absolutely right.....but if they take the route you mention then they'll have no video and more importantly no "drama" that can fetch them lot of views. this is the reason dumbfucks with good intentions piss me off more than people with bad intentions who i can atleast avoid

I'm not surprised the cat goes on the defense, he obviously hates having big stuffed toys or pillows, bigger than him, waved in his face. Many cats don't like being fussed by toys, Josh would have better luck sticking to offering food treats in his hand instead, gaining trust. It's often us humans that persist in doing something to our animals that we think is play, but the animal might see as aggression instead, and they'll try and tell us to back off. Food is often the better way to gain an animals trust so hopefully Josh and Oreo will work out in the end.

Josh needs to bring his own pillow. Not take Oreo’s. Nobody wants someone to come into their house and take what isn’t theirs! It will work out, but Josh needs to realize he’s a guest in Oreo’s house.

[@TechMoneyDev87]

If it's Oreos house then he needs to pay his share of the bills. Josh doesn't pay anything and it's Oreo who needs to feed josh then.

[@susanmulvey6311]

@@TechMoneyDev87 Hahaha, you’re funny! He is the entertainment and helps with mental help! 😉

[@iiella8534]

Chill it’s a cat, Oreo’s a lil brat. I mean josh cleans his pillow afterwards, Oreo can live with that lol. Cats are just moody.

[@chocolateradiance7216]

He was there before Oreo..

[@LMCSM]

@@iiella8534 you haven't got a clue. Most cats aren't like this at all. My cat treats everyone that comes in my house nicely but she's closest to me. Cats have 1 person as their favourite. This woman is Oreos and he doesn't want to share her. This isn't normal behaviour and if there's a cat in your life that has made you think like that, then they too need training and help! Please educate yourself

Josh is such a friendly guy

[@dianehobbs]

Oreo is a beautiful cat! Josh is a great man, he accepts Oreo on his terms. Both of them are keepers! ❤❤❤

[@Pe-S]

I really like Josh's attitude, he seems like a sweet dude. I believe him and Oreo could be fine with some time and patience. I've done a lot of cat sitting over the years and if I met a specifically sceptical or skittish cat I'd try to make myself small and inconspicuous, never towering over them. Would simply plop down on the floor for a while and be quiet, back turned to them and let them come sniff me out. Second step, still sitting on the floor, I'd start gently engaging the kitty by bringing out aluminium foil balls I'd prepared at home, rolling them across the floor, then towards the kitty, talking and trying to get them to play with me. (Fishing out foil balls from under every furniture is no fun, though..) Not sure why, but it usually worked. :) After a couple of days of this, most of them came out of their shells. Josh handing Oreo big pillows from "above" might feel threatening to Oreo. (Some man in Oreo's past might have abused him, who knows..) I wish this cute family the best of luck.

👍👏👏👏💕

[@AlphaG33k1]

Excellent advice. Cats do not like people towering over them at all. Making yourself as short as possible goes a long way. Focusing on something else while they check you out helps, too, they tend to not like being ignored LOL

[@Pe-S]

@@AlphaG33k1 Thank you and you're right; us hoomans mustn't ignore them! I'm sure it's written in their Constitution somewhere. :D

[@SwagHyde]

i guess if that guy really wants to make peace with the cat, not teasing him would be a good start

[@skatingcanuck9837]

I know of a similar story of an outdoor cat who became a rescue. She was having behavioural issues. The owners put her on medication and now she is much much better.

[@vanessahenricks1925]

I wonder how Oreo would feel if his mama gave him some catnip plants to munch on.

[@amandafazio2494]

If Josh brings Oreo lots of cat nip toys and regular cat nip, Oreo just may love Josh for life 😂🤣

[@stevenhenry4227]

Hello Amanda

[@danielfurtado8625]

Such a handsome visceral classy cat!

[@MaiElizabeth]

My late cat was also called Oreo and he is black and white cat. But the difference is he liked guests more than he liked me hahahhaah

[@mrssomebody8166]

He'll warm up to him eventually just don't give up on Oreo!Just Keep on trying to show him how much y'all love him & how much he means to the BOTH of them! He's 1000000000% a momma's boy that's for sure! 😆❤️

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

I dare say that this cat was probably owned by a guy who abused it in the past, Hence the dislike for the boyfriend. Its great that he's not given up on earning the cats trust!

[@delmyamaya7355]

I love the video 🤩 Oreo is a jealous cat he doesn't want to share his Mom 🤣😅. He's so adorable 🥰. What a personality he has, it's admirable.

[@BRAVE_NEW_1984]

Hahaha the angry man on the house! Thank you guys that you still accept this cat!

[@victorvelarde4409]

Oreo is so cute and smart and adorable. He loves his Mom . Hopefully he will like Moms boyfriend.😽😽😽😽😽😽😽😽🥰🥰🥰🥰😍💝💝😽🥰❤️❤️🎀🎀❣️💓💖🎈💞💕💗💗💘

[@uqox]

Just needs very consistent food and play training from Josh. The tough part? That means Aleshia actually backing off when Josh does feeding and play, so that Oreo learns the pecking order. It's actually stressful on a pet (dog or cat) to feel as if they have to defend their territory. When you train them that they're actually safe (which is harder for a *feral* cat that you bring indoors) they stop the attacking over things and their space. Takes dedicated time and practice. They both like Oreo so it's worth it to help Oreo understand he's not in danger and he doesn't need to defend himself for territory.

[@4bibimimi]

What a beautifully healthy shiny angry kitty! Tuxedo cats rule!

[@QueensWino]

This is the reverse of the "third wheel" videos where the cat comes to love the boyfriend more than the girlfriend owner, haha! Oreo has both distinctive markings with an attitude to match! Good luck guys!

[@neco.arc.enjoyer]

this is such a great relationship and im here for it

[@derkaiser420]

Haha reminds me of one of my parent's cats. She only likes me when she wants but she is nice when she wants. Oreo is cute as hell though.

[@juliea.6603]

Mama pets from the front and after watching Jackson Galaxy (he puts his hand in front to ask to pet) talk about not grabbing from the top and food insecurity that definitely makes for a grouchy/spicy combo.

[@ericdemilo2497]

Oreo es tremendo! LOL!!!

[@decoded777]

Tuxedo cats are possessive and spicy 🤣
