Loving that you have moved from Bondi Vet to embark on your own journey and have your own channel now! 🎉 PS I love that you don't just focus on one type of pet, eg dogs only. Thank you for giving cats some air time as well as dogs and hopefully an array of other animals to come!

Your first video appeared on my KZbin. Subscribed. Always watch This Morning . Enjoy when you are on. I'm the owner of 3 cats, 17yrs, 10yrs and 9yrs. I'm very strict with food, only feed them cat food, dry and pouches, cat treats. So thankful no health issues. They receive their annual vaccinations. So tragic watching the cats who would adore a loving home, to be centre of attention, just to be loved on. One of mine is almost permantly on my lap 😊. Let's hope your videos educate cat owners regarding fleas. Applying flea treatment to back of their necks, my female, not so keen, amazing how treats divert their attention 😊. Neutering so important too as i'm amazed how many people think their pet should have a litter first. Owning a pet is expensive is expensive , especially vet fees but it's we, the owners who are responsible to keep them as healthy as we can😊 keep up the amazing work you do Dr Scott. Hope your channel goes from strength to strength😊

I promised my mom when she died in 2014 I would take care of the feral cats she was feeding. They are now 22 years old and still thriving. I hope they live much longer because I will greatly miss them. They force me to get up every morning to feed them. I have a shed out back I have made cozy for winter and summer where I keep food and water for them. They stay in my yard. They don’t wander out of it and it is fully fenced to protect from other animals. I had no idea cats live this long. I have also fed several cats on the street whose elderly owners passed away. They come and hang out in the shed with the other cats. One of the other property owners adopted the elderly cat left there when her owner died. Cats have a difficult life.

They are living so long because you are taking fabulous care of them. Thank you for your "service" to the neighborhood kitties.

[@puddlesjumper]

I take care of feral cats and they do not live that long typically. 2 to 3 years is an average life sometimes 4. They're living longer because of the care that you're giving them and that your mother gave them obviously. They are probably not considered feral anymore and are probably just semi socialized outdoor cats.

I decided to leave my house to the local no-k!ll cat shelter... it's the least I can do since cats were always the best part of my life 💫💞 (Edit to add: I forgot to mention, we had one kitty that lived to be 24 years old. We had him from a day old. His mom gave birth in the factory where my dad worked, but unfortunately it was in the city and she'd gotten hit by a car. We fed him formula from the vet until he could eat normal food. Anyway, yes, cats can kive along time!❤)

At our local shelter, hundreds of black and white cats in cardboard boxes were left outside one night. The shelter put out a news report, instead of criticizing whoever had the cats, they thanked them for bringing them to a safe place, instead of abandoning them, or worse. All were treated and found loving homes. This shelter does wonderful work, and is well-support by the wealthy community. The day hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, a wealthy donor charted a full-size jet and staff to rescue animals there. Many hundreds were saved, by I was haunted by the fact that that so many fleeing residents left their dogs chained up and they drowned. Loose, they would have had much better chances of survival. After that the laws were changed, evacuating people now have the right to evacuatetheir animals out with them.

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

It always should have been that way. Pets are family too. They should be allowed to go with their owners under such circumstances. I would never leave mine behind, no matter what. (Jan Griffiths).

[@tinasally379]

I am from California so I have no idea how devasting and horrorifying as a hurricane is. I can only imagine from seeing movies and videos of how destructive these types of storms are. But reading about people being forced it is even more to leave your family (pets ARE family) chained to ensure they die is just despicable and cruel (those people should never be allowed to have a pet). I can understand that being force to evacuate and possibly never to be able to return home, I am positive those people would not leave their children home, so why would they leave without their pets? Also I was stunned to find out that black & white cats are hard to home... are you kidding me???? Aren't Tuxedo Cats some of the most adorable cats??? Our family has had many tuxedo cats each one with their own quirks and personalities. And black cats, I just cannot say enough about black cats they are absolutely so much fun. Thank God for places like these that give cats and more so feral cats a loving home. God Bless them

[@lisabelle7553]

Your shelter sounds wonderful. Unfortunately-- the kind of people that leave their animal chained up or confined to die in a storm wouldn't be the types to take their pets with them, even if they could. There are many nasty and thoughtless people out there.

[@kindlydude]

Many of the working poor did not have cars to evacuate, and buses were not organized in time to evacuate enough people out of New Orleans. Where would they take their pets through flooded streets? Many ended up in the Superdome ...as a refuge of last resort with a ripped leaking roof & 25,000 people or so sheltering there. Even if they had made it through flooded streets to this virtual island, I'm not sure the Louisiana National Guard would have allowed pet animals. The sanitary conditions were awful as it was for five days. There weren't many good options for people without transportation & the gov't was too slow to respond to getting people out before the storm hit.@@tinasally379

When I was in my early teens we adopted a kitten who was found in a plastic bag with his dead mother and siblings. Named him Gizmoe and he was the family cat for a long time until I was in my late teens and suddenly I saw a change in him. He would always sleep at my room, bed and always go where I go, lay on my belly and sometimes get defensive over me. It wasn't until I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer at the age of 19 where it made sense, cause it has been spreading for a few years without us knowing, well I believe Gizmoe knew cause thats when he started becoming "mine". He started his long rest in October last year and became 17 years old despite his health issues. He was my bestfriend and best anti depressant buddy and I miss him everyday.

[@sophiedanon7491]

I'm so sorry for you loss. No cat is ever going to replace Gizmoe but I hope cats distribution system gives you a new friend soon

[@cbrisalchemist6887]

My munchkin did the same…she “diagnosed” me with breast cancer. She also had kittens a week after biopsy and when she had her kittens I would awake to tiny kittens sleeping on my chest. Once I had surgery mama and kittens stayed in their whelping cubby and she settled into motherhood. Having a month of kittens and mama caring for me and getting me through the diagnosis process was an amazing experience. So much love and hope flowed through them. A year later the kittens are all in their forever homes and I’ll get random visits from them because they “tell” their new family they need to visit. 😂 My munchkin is as lovable as ever and when I’m having a particularly tough day she lays on my chest and purrrrrrrrs like a champ. ❤

I adopted a senior female black & white cat. She was dumped at my local shelter at the age of 15. I just thought that was no way for her to be treated. I named her Hope and she gave me four of the best years of my life. Senior cats have so much love to give. Consider yourself lucky if you adopt one. I know I did.

[@georgiaamanatides4207]

I adopted an abandoned adult cat from the street. I assume his previous family abandoned him when they realized he had health issues. I provided a clean, warm home, meals, vet care, space to be himself and loving care for the almost two years of his life.

[@ellenmcintyre1247]

I adopted at different times two different cats that lived with me that I love you very much and I adopted them at the age of 10 and they lived until the age of 17 and 18. One was small and white, and didn't have much of a voice, her name was Daisy Pearl. The other one was big and black and it just had the most beautiful singing voice! And his name was Diesel. There were definitely yin and yang of my house. When they died nothing has been the same. I tried to adopt other cats and my health is not been the best and I had to return them to their owner thank God she took them back. She had to surrender them because she was having another child so when I had to give them back 3 years later her kids were of an age that she could handle them again. I miss having cats in my life.

So strange that tuxedo kitties have a hard time being adopted. I've had them my whole life. Amazing rescue.

[@aidandevlon]

I suspect it’s people who care too much about interesting patterns and colors, when it’s what is inside that counts. My guess is out of them, black cats get adopted first for looking like little panthers, then black & white tuxedos for their natural outfit, and last, the black & white “cow” kitties. I have had all color cats and loved them all… I think I’ve had all the colors at least. Many black cats, and some tuxedos, and exactly one cow cat, whose name was Girl and I loved her dearly; she was my long-term roommate’s cat first but when I moved in she chose me…and when he moved out they all stayed with me. Girl was old when she was adopted back in the mid-2000s. She lived until 2016, a mystery aged super-senior, very smol, very shy, very sweet. Tiny thing although she came chomsky, but we got her to a healthy weight and later in 2010 I had to force-feed her a month to keep her alive when she stopped eating. But one day she just came into the kitchen for food when I was feeding another cat and she was back to okay again! We were bottle-raising two kittens at the time which made it difficult to schedule. Yet I think taking in those newborns saved her life because we might not have had formula on hand to give her nutrition otherwise. Unlike the kittens, she had to be wrapped in a towel and cleaned up after from all the squirming. I miss her dearly. The kittens are now 14. Well, this month anyway, I know their birthdates. She lives in them and in my heart. And my literal dreams; I see so many of my cats in my dreams.

[@Pythonaria]

@@pattibooth5797 I understand as I have mobility issues myself. I have 9 cats, ages ranging from 19 to 4. What I have that really helps (my cats are indoor cats only) is the Litter Robot 3. Really takes the hard work out of keeping litter boxes clean and our cats love it and our other automatic litter box which is a PuraMax. They are expensive but they do save on litter long term as you don't waste clean litter. It is always heartbreaking when we lose one of our beloved fur family but as my adult son says "Look to the living". All except one of my cats are rescues so when I lose one I know I gave them the best life I could possibly give. My oldest cat lived to 23, second oldest 22 - we lost him 2 years ago. Our current oldest is 19 and we lost his brother to old age and illness last year. He too is going downhill, sleeping longer and longer but still enjoying his food, being petted and purring. Please reconsider. There are so many cats being overlooked in rescues and shelters that need someone like you to love and care for them. It is also a scientific fact that people with cats live longer because cats have a relaxing effect on us not to mention their purrs are healing.

He had a seizure and within 3 days, he was diagnosed with a thymus tumor that induced uncontrollable blood sugar despite my best efforts to control. I did put him down.

I'm 70 + year old and have 3 cats that are only 9 years old and I really stress out wondering what is going to be come of them when I am gone, they are super attached to me and very spoiled, I don't have anyone to care for them. I found them in a shopping mall in a cart one cold night when they were tiny, was going to turn them over to Paws but didn't, may have been a mistake. But fell in love with them. 2 of them are white with a couple of black dots the other one black and white. The thought of them being stuck in small cages is terrifying. You have my up most respect for what you do.

[@samuelvanniel6397]

You could find a new home for them in advance, so that once you are not able to care for them anymore, they already have a place to go to. You should then have them meet and socialize to the new family a couple times before they move so it's not as hard a transition! You could then still visit them as well. I hope this helps, this way it would be easier for all involved :))

I have taken on two elderly cat that sat in a room for 14 months , no one wanted them , I just started to play with them while they were waiting , they were drulling, little pink toung sticking out and were so sweet . They are both on medication , my brand new house smells of pee , I smell of pee BUT these two guys are so loving , demanding and they have never left my side. My life will be so empty without these beautifull little cats. Thanks Dr Scott for looking after these beaufiful animals.

[@Ash-nk8lk]

Get multiple cat litter boxes and since they are older check out lower litter boxes with one high side which makes it easy for them to get into and one high side so if they pee high it won’t spray outside the box. Rule of thumb is for every 2 cats they need 4 litter boxes. So if three cats they should have 6 boxes. Now that is a lot haha and most don’t have the space for that but if you have two cats and a big house since it’s new I would keep a littler box in any room they enter frequently. If they are peeing a lot make sure to rule out health issues too

[@elaineculbert8594]

First of all, as a long-time cat lover, thank you for welcoming two older cats into your home. I hope they have many happy and healthy years with you! I’m not sure why your house should smell of cat urine, though. Are they drinking enough water? If their urine is very strong, perhaps you could ask the vet for advice. If a cat doesn’t drink enough water, maybe a vet will suggest giving more wet food over dry (assuming they are on dry). My daughter and husband raised three newborn kittens well into adult-age and there was never any odor. Absolutely none. Cat litter brands these days make it so easy to keep a litter-box clean; unlike years ago. For two cats, if I were you, I would use two pans. Cats are naturally clean animals and if you scoop out the solids and clumps (of urine) several times throughout the day, there should be no odor at all. If a pan is not scooped out regularly, however, a cat might start relieving itself somewhere else in the home and then you have a major problem. I look at it this way … I wouldn’t want to use a dirty toilet and I don’t expect my fastidious cat to do likewise. I no longer have my much-loved cat but I checked his litter every morning, before lunchtime (around noon), later in the afternoon and finally, before I went to bed … a minimum of 4 times a day. I would keep the depth of the litter at about 10.16 cm (4 inches). Enjoy your two babies!

[@BellyLaugher]

Oops! Had 2 Feral Brothers join Mr Uncle Hobbes (8yo) & elevator peeing began (that's when they start out w/bums low to litter & as they proceed to pee, they start raising their bums up & the pee sprays high outside the box) after I suddenly started working 12hr days vs 8 hrs. Had a 6mos handi-capped little Rosie-cat, tto, but she wasn't part of the pee-ing party. The boys started 'marking'➡ie they returned to pee where they previously pee'd...on wooden floors & up walls. We live in only 817 sq.feer condo➡very smelly & hard to keep up w/the cleaning UNTIL I read that COFFEE removes the cat-ammonia pee odor. I have both pine & oak wood floors, but I didn't care if the y got stained by the coffee (& they didn't once I got the hang of rinsing well)➡the trick is to let the coffee remove the particular cat-pee ingredient that causes that characteristic odor, such that the cats no longer detect it, b/c then they don't feel called-by-the-odor to go back & re-mark the area/adjacent areas again & again. I'd tried enzymes, vinegar, Ivory soap, milk etc ➡thing is, the cats can still smell thru those cleaners/fragrances. I also got 3 more litter boxes,w/unscented litter, & put them in semi-secluded places (so had total of 4) in separate rooms.I let the coffee sit for a bit on the floor areas, & even diluted it sometimes, & it worked to both remove the odors & helped stop the wee-ing outside the boxex. I washed fabrics in just the brewed coffee ➡& then washed w/detergent&cool water, which often removed the coffee color. VERY IMPORTANT THOUGH: COFFEE IS TOXIC FOR CATS, SO BE SURE TO RINSE AREAS WELL, & DON'T ALLOW CATS TO BE IN THE AREA WHEN YOU ARE DOING THE COFFEE CLEANING. I put the coffee in a spray bottle for the walls & wiped it down quickly to prevent staining. I put dry coffee grounds or fresh ground coffee on the sofa & put a very heavy/doubled, strongly secured cotton blanket on top of the grounds I'd put on the seat & back areas of loveseat where urine was...It took a few weeks, but the effort was well worth it...for them, & for me 🥳 I was sooooo relieved b/c I thought I was going to have to let the FeralBros go (find new homes for them ➡they were only 6mos old, I'd socialized them from 4 weeks old) & both Rosie & I would've been heart-broken. Whew! Hope this is helpful to you ❣

[@CaroGo]

Honestly, it's still all rooted in superstition about witchcraft and devil worship. So it's mostly the fault of the Church. It also has to do with medieval superstition that the colour black has to do with death. So that is a mostly Western thing and spread through Colonisation. After all, in China it means prosperity and good health, while in many parts of Africa it stands for masculinity, maturity, and age. In India, black is the colour that protects against evil, and in many parts of Eastern Asia it stands for experience (thus, the highest rank of belt is the black belt in martial arts). Heck, in Ancient Egypt, white meant death, while black was the colour of life and protection from evil! So it is all culture based and unfortunately, there are still highly uninformed people that thusly harm innocent animals :(

Running a retirement village for senior and special needs cats is my dream job. I myself took in a neglected long hair senior 5 years ago. She had a bad infection and ulcers in her mouth that prevented her from eating solid food. Underweight, covered in matts and entire chunks of fur missing. She had survived on the streets for roughly 6 years after her awful family decided they didn't want to deal with her anymore. The vet gave her a 50% chance, but she pulled through and after just a week of treatment she started bringing me mice regularly. She is at least 16 y/o now, still active and playful, healthy as can be, and will plop down on my lap or be my little spoon every day. Best cat anyone could ask for. ❤ Also have a 10 y/o one-eyed tuxedo boy I adopted from a shelter as a kitten. Neediest brat I ever knew.

I looked at shelter website and planned on going to get a 4 year female calico cat. When I walked in though all the cats and kittens were sleeping, several in their litter boxes except for Gus. He was trying to climb his tiny little kitten self out of the cage meowing loudly the entire time. I thought to myself, he obviously wants to come home with me. He has been such a great cat and he’s so beautiful. I wish we had a place like this where I live now but I live in a tiny little town in west Texas. If we did, I would volunteer every single day.

We captured a feral kitten in a baseball mitt, we bathed her, fed her and she decided to stay. She would bring us birds, snakes, frogs, mice and leave them on our doorstep, from time to time, as I believe, a thank you for taking such good care of her. She survived a vicious attack from a neighbor's dog when she was about 13 years old. She lived to be 27 years old. Every cat we've ever owned has been a feral or stray kitten/cat.

[@Eppon6]

Oof, those 4-5 year-olds who were given up with health issues really got to me. I recently had to say my final farewells to my old cat Blitz. She was 14 at the time. She'd walked into my mum's pub 10 years before, emaciated and tiny with a badly healed, crippled leg. They thought she was a lost kitten, but a vet examination revealed that she was 4 years old and had an owner on record. That owner confessed they'd rehomed her a year ago due to an allergic newborn and when they looked into the people who allegedly agreed to take her in, they denied ever having had a cat. The scum had just abandoned her. My family were asked to help find her a good home. Thankfully, my other cat was willing to tolerate her, which is a big deal because my other cat HATES cats normally so obviously I adopted her. They became respectful room-mates and had no fights but were never friends. She was a runt, about 3/4ths of the size of a regular housecat. She loved to cuddle and be held. She had PTSD from what I assume was people who hit or kicked her and was too scared to jump due to the bad leg so needed little ramps to climb everywhere. Eventually, she went completely deaf, so I had to learn to deal with a deaf cat who was scared of certain movements. She was content being an indoors cat and even let me play with her sometimes so long as I was careful to avoid certain movements. Ofcourse, her rough life came with many chronic health issues, as well as a heart condition diagnosed when she was older that required daily medication. Eventually, those conditions worsened to a point of no return. I chose to let her go instead of extending her suffering by making her go through intensive procedures that had little chance of improving her quality of life. She passed away peacefully in my arms where she loved to snuggle most, at home, surrounded by the humans she adored and one reluctant grumpy cat roomie who mourned for her for months after. Sorry for the rant.

This cat center is doing Gods Work. Thank you for giving to these sweet babies a second chance, the quality of life and the much needed love in their final days. I have had three Gingers give back all the love my family gave them in their last years. We gave them the best quality of life as versus quantity of life. I could never forget the unconditional love they gave, the first family cat taught me how to have unconditional love no matter what ny sibling and I put him through, had the patience of a saint and knew how much we loved him in our own weird way. I paid that forward with the second and the third, the third passing first and the second about 8 months after. The second came from an abusive home, rescued and was a few hours from euthanasia, adopted him and we just loved on him for 10 years, heaped it upon him as he healed from the trauma and ptsd that impacted the first two years of his life. He loved us back ten fold. The third was hard to not love, he was a dork in all sense of the word, never knew the meaning of the word quit and too cute to boot, ten sweet years with this quirky and adorable baby. I will continue on with my Tortie and Gray Tabby, give them lots if love, the best quality of life and see that love returned 100 fold.
