theres also the fact that cats like people who dont like cats... not saying it means anything but... its not that they actually like people that dont like cats its that people who dont like cats generally portray traits that cats like, someone who likes cats for example could possibly constantly stare at the cat which cats absolutely hate, meanwhile someone who doesnt like cats is more likely to look somewhere else, someone who likes cats might try to get the cats attention -once again- cats really dislike that, someone who doesnt like cats doesnt try to get their attention, someone who likes cats might try to get into the cats personal space for petting etc, meanwhile someone who doesnt like cats is morelikely to not only stay out of the cats personal space but actually retreat when the cat comes closer, so cats liking people who dont like cats is usually correlation not causation

My mom is diabetic. One of our cats freaked out and would not let her out of his sight. He never yowls, but that day he was and wouldn’t stop. He was pawing, nipping, and head butting her. She checked her sugar and in the span of about 40ish minutes she went from a good sugar (about 120 something which was good for her) down to 56. That was terrifying.

You don't realise exactly how broken cats are until you've owned one. Even our domesticated felines are far more tuned for hunting than you think. Even the friendliest of them. I had two growing up, sisters from the same litter that had a bad start in life. Didn't get on much with each other so they kept their distance and it wasn't uncommon for short spats to occur out of the blue when one took offence. But they did have an incident which I remember clear as day because it was strangely similar to seeing big cats hunt. So, knowing neither of these cats really get along they also dislike strangers and it wasn't unheard of for one of them to attack people or animals that strayed on the property. No real damage done but their turf kinda thing. One day out of the blue I hear some yowling and what sounded like a dog. Looked out the window to see a random rather large german shepherd had chased one of the cats onto the wall and was debating jumping to bite her. What the dog didn't see was the OTHER cat had circled around behind him and came out of nowhere to attack him from behind... you know like lions do. Less than a second after the dog looked away the one on the wall didn't run away. In fact she took offence to this dog and latched onto his head and was going for the eyes and nose with everything. Lasted all of a couple of seconds and the dog retreated with both cats on its' heels. While I know it was capable of doing damage it was at a disadvantage. A few weeks later I found the more aggressive of my two cats (the one that jumped on the dogs head) sitting in the path between the street and the back of my house staring down the same dog with a low growl. I laughed my head off since this went on for 5 minutes, the dog tried his luck by putting a paw on the path and the cat decided that was enough. Dog left so quick and never came back. .... and cats are naturally built with these kinds of behaviours..... we keep these little monsters as pets!

[@KenFullman]

Our cat usually wakes up the wife to feed him every morning. Lately I haven't been sleeping very well so I've been sitting in the corner of the room on the computer. In an effort to get some positive result from this, I've been stopping the cat when he tries to wake my wife and feeding him myself. So now he's got the message that, if I'm awake, he should approach me first. But if I'm busy (such as in the middle of typing a comment on youtube) I'll try to ignore him. But then he'll hop up onto the bedside cabinet and hold his paw close to my wife's face and meow, all the while looking directly at me. I'm sure his meow translates to "feed me NOW! or she gets it"

[@CLangley-yl1fb]

Agreed! We have a rescue called Teddy, because he's so benign - has the baby face down pat, despite being a common tabby - that even people not so fond of cats who come up agree he's a very sweet looking boy. Anyway, during Covid we had our gardens down our streets all swarmed with rats because the streets and alleys were so quiet, even for country standards. None of our other cats ever bothered with the rats, to the point the rats learned they'd be ignored. Enter Teddy years after the pandemic. Lady I live with was out doing gardening, said he just turned up, dropped a dead rat in the garden, left, came back a little while later with another, rinse and repeat. He ended up piling five bodies that day.

Mate, rats aren't an issue by being killed by cats. In fact, it's doing them and all others a favour - if the cats don't cull the rats, idiots with poison kill off more animals in the attempt to remove the rats than the cats do, because other animals - crows, owls, magpies - will all eat or feed the poisoned rats to their babies.

Cats are also known to psychologically relieve people who are under constant stress and uneasiness like people with mental illnesses such as Autism, ADHD, various other medical conditions.

[@bahnsidhes]

Autism and ADHD are not a mental illness. They are considered a sensory process disorder. And although there is overlap with each other, they are different. The difference between them and say PTSD, is their brains naturally process this way. PTSD is neuropathways being changed through trauma. Some mental illness is caused by brain chemical imbalance and some are caused by abuse/neglect while others are genetic. ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder, which encompasses both ADHD and Autism as well as others) can have co-morbidities with mental illnesses, but those mental illnesses still have distinct causes.... ie abuse/neglect, brain chemical imbalance, genetics.... But they aren't the mental illness. This is just for information purposes. Not to start an argument. I have ADHD, Autism and PTSD. And with those three, there is some overlap in symptoms/diagnostics.

[@lisabelle7553]

Although I don't have any disorders, I have a stressful career and my cat laying on my desk with her belly up purring loudly brings me more comfort and relief than any drug. She gets me through the day!

[@teaartist6455]

@@bahnsidhes Not quite. Sensory Processing Disorder is often a part of both, but is specifically refers to, well, your brain not processing the input from your senses the way Neurotypicals do, leading to things such as struggling to understand people, especially in loud places, having extreme likes or dislikes of various foods and textures in general as well as certain sensory experiences being downright painful. ASD is just the "long form"/Diagnostic name for autism. ADHD often overlaps with Autism (to the point where there's some argument about weather both may be closely related), but it's not the same and ASD does not encompass it. Both are Neurodevelopmental disorders, which basically means your brain developed to function different than that of Neurotypicals. (People who are not Neurotypical are also sometimes called Neurodivergent, but this also includes mental illnesses. Neurodiversity is a general term referring tot he fact that there's a fair bit of variation in human brains.) (The Autism and PTSd thing is somewhat complicated by today's diagnostic criteria for Autism specifically being based around how young, traumatized kids that are socialized as boys tend to act (to the point where non-traumatized autistic kids may not get a diagnosis) with knowledge outside that still being quite rare and often found within the community itself rather than something "professionals" know. We don't fully know the difference between Autism and Trauma as expressed commonly by Autistic people.)

[@bahnsidhes]

@@teaartist6455 A large part of what you said is what I meant. But you expressed it much better. I didn't realize that ADHD wasn't part of ASD, I'd read somewhere that it was. But when looking just now... it's not. So thank you for that. As for the trauma info, I was diagnosed with c-PTSD first, while in my twenties. The Autism diagnosis went undiagnosed for years because I'm female and we can be incredibly good at "masking". It took my autistic son being born for me to start questioning. And at 54 yrs. I was officially diagnosed with Autism and ADHD. My neurologist told me that because their are some Autism symptoms that are similar to PTSD, Autistic women who have suffered trauma will sometimes fall through the cracks for a diagnosis. Especially 30 years ago, when females were rarely diagnosed with Autism. It was even more rare to diagnose and adult female. So that's what I was alluding too. The words/explanation are in my brain and fully formed but translating what I'm thinking into a text version can sometimes cause confusion. It looks perfectly clear to me, but no one else, because they don't have my brain. lol Sorry.

[@teaartist6455]

@@bahnsidhes There are some schools of thought that think ASD ans ADHD should be grouped together more closely, it's just kind of one of these specific theories/hypotheses where we don't know how much truth (if any) there is to it. I get the while "words refuse to come out right", it's okay. I've taken a pretty long time to figure out how to concisely word Autism-related things (and still can't do it for everything/all subjects).

12:58 i heard about a housecat that was the pet of a lighthouse keeper on a remote island, the cat brought a dead bird home one day; the owner had never seen a bird that looked like it before, so he sent it to the mainland for scientists to check for themselves; by the time they got back and said it was a brand-new species, the cat had killed every individual on the island; only recorded instance of a single individual rendering an entire species extinct

[@windhelmguard5295]

that is not the whole story though, the cat is not what ended that entire species of bird, the few birds that one cat could have killed would have never ended a species, the problem was that humans brought rats to the island and with only one singular predator on the entire island, the rats started breeding rapidly and among the things that rats really love to eat are bird eggs. there are even islands were cats had been suspected of wiping out native bird populations, only for those populations to start dying even faster once the cats had been exterminated, because they removed the only thing keeping the rats in check. essentially once you have rats in an ecosystem, cats become a necessary evil.

The more important aspect of the Egyptian thing probably wasn't toxoplasma gondii. When Egyptians started building giant grain storage areas as their civilization grew, so did the rodents. Cats looked at their setup and saw that people were building them rodent buffets and moved in. Keeping food free from rodents could be literally life-saving at that point in history so cats must have seemed like a miracle. Romans invaded Egypt, incidentally helped by tactical deployment of cats, and quickly saw their value. While plenty of domestic cat migration was just cats deciding to live somewhere else, the Romans definitely deliberately exploited them to protect grain. Which helped spread cats across the Roman empire. Same thing happened with cats and ships. Running out of food on a long ocean going journey could be deadly so a ship's cat would not just be useful in weather predicting but in killing the rats. You mostly had cats pick your ship and the most successful ship cats were often polydactyly, or had extra toes. That meant more polydactyly cats arrived in New England to start families with better odds at having polydactyly babies. There's still an overabundance of polydactyly cats in the earliest colonized areas of North America as a result. These days people don't normal go looking for life saving cats (though there are charities that match feral cats with farms or neighborhoods with rat problems) and yet people still are devoted to them so still possible.

The allergies thing is so true. My allergies used to be so bad, year round. We would go to my husbands parents who had cats and my allergies would cripple me. We got one of our own and for the first two weeks it was hell. Then they got better and better. We now have 6 cats and my allergies are virtually non existent. I very rarely have an allergy attack anymore.

[@bluelagoon1980]

My mom had the same experience. After moving to her own place, the allergies came back pretty quickly.

[@spoopyvirgil4944]

Currently have six cats and have had others in the past. They're menaces but I love them so much. And while cats are seemingly impervious (our ginger literally survived about five days of little to no eating (he's now nicknamed the zombie cat)), it should be noted that some do have mild weaknesses. One of my kitty cats is a formal feral and she has really really bad food insecurity. The moment the food bowl is empty, she practically loses her mind unless she's asleep.

[@delix]

I had a cat that was the top animal in the couple blocks around our home as a kid. Seen her go on the offensive against huskies and the St. Bernard that lives nearby, possums, raccoons, other cats, even occasionally people that pissed her off. One of my friends picked her up and cradled her like a baby. He got one warning hiss, and two seconds later her claws went straight for his throat. Even with his reaction, he got a nice scratch just below his adams apple. It’s flat out impressive what cats are capable of.

[@sergiussouth4754]

I was walking up Beegum gorge road, from Platina in the far Southwestern tip of Shasta County California in 1983. It is a 2 mile hike one way A little after halfway up a young Mountain Lion ran across the road, right to left, 10 feet in front of me. The cat had a ~ 130 pound buck by the brisket, running up the steep hill. (More than a 45° slope) Not one of those deer's hooves touched the ground. None of the buck's antlers were touching the ground either. The cat had it jacked up, completely off the ground by drawing it's lower jaw back. It was gone in 3 seconds. An animal carried a 130 lb animal up a hill at a dead run. Yes. They are that strong. I was just thankful it had it's dinner, and wasn't interested in me. Whew.

[@adiarainfoster]

I think that the problem is that people tend to want to treat cats the way they do their dogs, but they really don't work like that. Think of a cat as a small furry human. They are very independent and rarely give their love or trust instantly and freely. Like humans, you have to earn a cat's love and trust and once you have it, kitty will do just about anything for you. They're very very affectionate to the humans they love. BUT do something to break that trust, and it will take much longer to earn it back...just like with humans. You can't just rub the belly when you see it like you do a dog. The way that cats fight is by raking each other's bellies so reaching for the belly is a somewhat aggressive move and you'll get teeth and claws for it. Also, don't start off a kitten by playing with it with your hands. Doing that teaches the kitten that YOU are a toy and it will grow up still trying to play with your hands, feet and other body parts. It's not being mean, it's just that it was taught when it was young that this is acceptable behavior. So many cats end up in shelters because people did this with their kittens and the kitten grew up into a playful cat that is biting and clawing while it plays because that's what it was taught to do. Kitty wants to play? Get a teaser toy and play, or a stuffed animal if it's more wrestling the cat wants, but NOT with your hands, arms, feet or anything else attached to your body. If kitty gets too excited with the toy and pounces on you, freeze and exclaim (not in anger but a loud OUCH will do) so kitty knows it hurt you. That's how kittens teach each other not to go too far when playing and often we get kittens before they have fully learned that lesson from their litter mates. Most cats can even be walked on a leash and harness if you start them when they are kittens. Many are more trainable, too, than people think, but you have to use purely food motivation and you can't yell at them. Some are more trainable than others, of course, but that's the same with dogs too. I personally have found Maine Coon's the be the best at being trained and walked on a leash than most other breeds. :)

[@TimeSurfer206]

It's true: Felis Domesticus is spoiled in this regard. Working with Cougars, I have had more luck getting a harness and leash on them, than I have on any of their smaller cousins. No, she wasn't tame. She had been injured and brought in for treatment, and realized we were there to help. And no, she wasn't the only one. I'd like to know, though, why I had a dream of walking a Cougar through Seattle on a leash, while I wore a vest. A vest that said, "Service Animal."

[@KamiNoBaka1]

Tell all that to my tabby lol. She's a sucker for attention and loves belly rubs. She also warms up to strangers real quick. Most of the time you can just pick her up from whatever she's doing and she's instantly in cuddle mode. Found out at my last really terrible apartment she's weird about mice too. I mean, my other cat is weird about them, in that she doesn't want them anywhere near her, but my tabby... She has a habit of carrying her toy mice around while meowing and gathering them in places, so I guess when mice got in after the complex removed the grating on the dryer vent while I had no dryer, she thought of them as new moving toys or something. She was mostly very careful not to kill them, just carried them around by the back of the neck like kittens. She actually did kill one, dropping it off a counter and landing on its back, and she was super sad for a few hours. Had to get coax her into dropping the rest into an Amazon box so I could run and toss them into the dumpster. This all happened over the course of like two nights before I figured out where they were getting in and made a makeshift cover for the inside opening of the vent.

[@adiarainfoster]

There are always exceptions. I've met cats who don't mind a belly rub. But most of them want nothing to do with it. Most cats don't want anything to do with anything pickled but I once had a cat who adored pickled onions and another who loved jalapeños 🤣 @@KamiNoBaka1

[@burney7418]

My husband wasn't a cat person and he was working away. I took my son to a market and this little kitten was for sale and he looked at me and said we have to it mum. We took him home and waited. Guess who was the favourite. Our cat was called wild thing, used to run around our furniture. One day he saw my husband pee in the toilet. Next day he was crouched above the loo looking at me as if to say, you can get rid of the litter box now. He was sleeping next to me when my alarm went off and I snoozed it. The second time it went off, he jumped on the dresser and started tapping the alarm to stop it because I did disturb his sleep. If we closed the bedroom door, he would sit there and knock by head banging it till we let him in. One night he got out and came back and dropped a dead bird on my chest, quite proudly I must say. he was feeding us for a change. I didn't react how he thought I would. I never got a bird again. I failed as a human. If I got sad, somehow he curled himself up underneath my clothes while I wasn't looking but would swat me if I argued with my husband. RIP Wild Thing, the most amazing cat ever.

I like both cats and dogs, for different reasons. No one need to just like one or the other, but it seems to be the case most of the time.

The nursing home I worked at when I was younger had a cat that knew when people were going to die. She always started sleeping in the resident's room a day before and stayed with yhem through death. Many times these were people that were not seriously ill,but the cat knew. I have heard this from many nursing homes that have cats. The cat knows.

[@Pickleskittycat]

Absolutely they know. I too Worked in a nursing home that had two resident cats. One of them did the same thing. Would not leave the residents side for anything except food/water or litter box. When that happened, we knew what was coming and the cat was right every single time. I always thought the cat could sense it by smell. I think when someone starts actively dying their scent changes... And the cat could smell it.

The most hilarious thing I’ve heard is always proven true when I hear stuff like this “Cat People are just Dogs and Dog People are Cats” Dog People enjoy dogs because of the immediate and unconditional love they give you. You don’t have to do anything other than exist and that dog will shower you with affection. Meanwhile Cat People love Cats because they act the same way Dog Lovers act, they simply exist, don’t feel the need to ask for love because they know you’re going to give it to them. You’re a Dog. Your cat doesn’t make overly affectionate attempts at anything and you shower them with love regardless.

I will blow your mind even farther, several years ago we had a cat who managed to get between our subfloor and floor in our old house, crushing the neck of his femur, breaking the femur and parts of his hip and tearing the spine away from his pelvis...he lived. A long surgery where they removed the neck of his femur completely and left it unattached from the pelvis, reattached the pelvis to the spine, lots of money and a some recovery time and the cat was just like new. No walking or other issues at all. Apparently the cat will grow muscle around that area to create a false femur neck and attach it to the hip and you couldn't tell he'd had any issues. He grew a false bone. He lived happily 6 years after it, not even a limp.

[@ShadowTani]

@@chere100 Yeah, don't need to be infected to love cats! Poor hygiene after cleaning their litter box or after working in the garden (it can be in the soil) are obvious risk factors for infection, but the main source of infection from this parasite is actually from eating raw/undercooked meat. Cats are pretty hygienic animals themselves and don't spread the parasite outside of their litter. Not all cats are infected either, up to 40% of cats are believed to have been infected at some point, but those that are will only produce infected feces 1% of the time - hence why cats themselves are not the primary source of the parasite.

[@ShadowTani]

@ICDUMPEPL This science isn't settled, there's just as many reports, and more importantly recent reports, that says there's no evidence of association. That doesn't mean cats, or more specific a toxoplasma gondii infection, doesn't increase risk of schizofrenia.

I had a cat for 13 years that could tell when one of us was coming down with a cold, the flu, etc. He always knew! (up to 48 hours before the person realized they did not feel well.) It was the only time he climbed up and laid right up against us or put his chest across our lap. He would purr on the in & out breath really deep & I swear he was trying to offer healing comfort. He would not leave the ill person until he was sure they were well again. Don't let non-cat people fool you into thinking they're aloof and don't form attached bonds with their humans. My 6 pound siamese x manx protected my household from a guy that kicked the door in. He actually ran from her and noped out. She was tiny as hell but fiercely protected us. ❤😼 Yes sir... when a big strong man cuddles a kitty and is all gentle.. my heart melts. 10/10 instant brownie points 🥰 side note, I'm not a "crazy cat lady" lmao we usually only have one cat at a time. 😘

We didnt want her to follow us so we got on our bikes and rode home, a few hours later she showed up at our house lol We kept her after that. Cats are amazing. They are supposed to protect against evil spirits too. Maybe thats why I never had any bad or scary experiences with ghosts or spirits. Ive always had a cat in my home.

Cats won't hang around if a person is abusive or mean, they just up stakes and move on first time the door is left open and the nice neighbor down the street offers kibble. So a man who cats like hasn't been smacking them around in private no matter what he pretends in public.

What I love about cat lovers (including men) are that cats are animals that require you to understand *consent* . If a cat doesn't want to be petted, they will lash out. You just have to take no for an answer and be okay with that. If a cat is okay with you touching their back, but not their tummy - that's that.

Here's another fun fact to add to the mix, too: It's currently believed cats can "mirror" ailments of their owners, as well. Such as a cold/sniffles, depression, anxiety, food aversion and so on. Some believe it to be a form of comradery... a "We're in this together" trait, while others believe it's something else unique to cats.
