Danny was bullied by friendly cats

Ginger cat Danny from Cornwall UK was confronted by some friendly and excited cats on our walk today. I did have to collect Danny later in the evening. Danny is now fast asleep after plenty of food!

A distinguished gentleman

[@dannycatyoung]

Thank you! We think so too, Danny is a distinguished chap 🐈❤️

[@faeryhill1]

You can't beat a beautiful Ginger cat 😻🐈❤❤❤ you just keep ignoring any bullies Danny 😉 xxx

[@dannycatyoung]

Thank you! Danny was being a bit delicate and we don't blame him, this is his turf 😀 Danny will be ready and respectful next time 🐈❤️

[@JoanneDeacon-s8v]

Our Danny Boy 🎶 wasn’t so sure but soon home safe and sound.

[@dannycatyoung]

Danny was a bit overwhelmed, two against one, even though they were lovely and friendly cats 😀🐈❤️

[@judybee]

You have some very handsome cats around your area!! But of course our Danny is defo the best of all of them!! 😃😃😺 x J x

[@jennifersiagian]

Danny is so handsome. His coat pattern is majestic. I have a Tabby. I tell him about how handsome Danny is.. but that he ( his name Tabby) is also good looking but Danny more so..

[@dannycatyoung]

@jennifersiagian Thanks Jennifer!

[@Iconoplastt]

Danny is sucha cute little guy and adventurous!

[@dannycatyoung]

Thank you! Danny loves to explore, this outing was a bit shorter than usual but all good experience for our Danny 🐈❤️

[@saschastolz61]

Bless your sweet heart, Danny!🐈🍀💕Danny is not having any other cats around his mum and dad on his walk. I must say you have some handsome cats in your neighborhood, but no one compares to Danny!😸🐟🌟

[@dannycatyoung]

Thank you Sascha, they were very nice looking cats, and very friendly! And they had trackers so they are loved. We think Danny is the handsomest too 😀🐈❤️

[@barryrahn5957]

Poor Danny. They didn't seem too bullyish, but then cats tend not to be the most gregarious creatures. Still love D boy from across the pond. Chi town props!

[@dannycatyoung]

You are so right Barry, these two cats were friendly. I use the term 'bully' very loosely 😀 they just wanted to be friends with our Danny. Hope all is good in your magnificent city!

[@susanellis7780]

I am sure Daddy will give Danny lots of cuddles❤😊

[@dannycatyoung]

Danny certainly gets plenty of cuddles 😀🐈

[@eddienothing9610]

Aw, I don't much care for a crowd either, Danny. A couple of beers seems to help. Marketing idea - beer for cats

[@eadweard.]

[@eddienothing9610]

@@eadweard. Hah! I didn't get it, had to look it up. We didn't get those ads in the US

[@dannycatyoung]

Now there's an idea, beer for cats, I'm not sure that would help or hinder Danny on his walks, especially if he decides to climb a tree 😂🤣🐈❤️

[@michaelhoffmann2891]

Well now, Danny, honestly? They wanted to be friends and you were the grump! It could have been a grand outing, Lord of the Rings level quest, with dramatic shots of the Cornwall coast and stirring soundtrack. But, no, there went your chance at an Oscar nomination.

[@dannycatyoung]

Danny was a bit of a drama queen on this occasion! Those two cats just wanted to be friendly, but in Danny's defense, I think the two of them rushing towards our Dan together just spooked him a little 😀

[@phantomstrangermedia]

I can imagine all those fur children playing together very much as human children used to before video games & smart phones took away the simple joys of companionship & imaginative adventures.

[@dannycatyoung]

They were happy cats, and yes, I remember that world where you went outside as a child everyday and rode your bike everywhere and loved it!

[@AnnQlder]

Danny was telling them that you’re taken! 😂😂😂

[@dannycatyoung]

We were put in an awkward situation, they were just so friendly🤣 Danny is our boy, he knows that 🐈❤️

[@ritasmith9553]

Oh, no! Sorry Danny, love!

[@dannycatyoung]

Danny is normally ok with other cats, he will learn 😀🐈❤️

[@elizabethweistrop2369]

Poor Danny! He just wanted to enjoy a peaceful walk with his Dad which was interrupted by a couple of busybodies! They meant well Danny, they were just curious and wanted to meet you. Maybe next time will go better.

[@dannycatyoung]

Yes you are right Elizabeth, they just wanted to be friends with Danny! I am sure it will work out better next time 😀🐈❤️

[@mariannehepple4907]

Oh poor Danny. A cat who lives across from me just wants to be friends, but my girl Lily doesn't want to be. That's cats for you

[@dannycatyoung]

Absolutely! Danny just didn't realise that these two cats just wanted to be friends 😀

[@pamelahelengunchick654]

Poor Danny! .....So sorry Danny

[@dannycatyoung]

Thank you Pamela, Danny was ok and he needs to realise when other cats are friendly! He will be a lot better the next time he meets those two cats 😀

[@PatLuckett]

They certainly wanted to be friends with you! 👍🏻

[@dannycatyoung]

They were very friendly and just wanted to be friends with Danny, but two at once was too much for our boy 😀🐈❤️

[@emilyx8377]

Yes, isn't it funny how when a cat sees a human crouching on the ground, they almost always come running over to introduce themselves. : )

[@dannycatyoung]

Yes absolutely, and the talkative one wouldn't leave us alone which made it impossible to get Danny home, I had to return to the scene of the action a short time later and there Danny was, sitting on the wall looking very pleased with himself. I wish I had filmed it!

[@NancyRode-u9i]

😍🥰😘🎶🐈🥰🤗😍speaking danny

[@dannycatyoung]

Danny is quite chatty 🐈❤️😻

[@pamelazuill8438]

Well its just that he wasn't used to them! the more he sees them it'll be okay cause its nice to know at least you have someone of your own kind around!

[@dannycatyoung]

You are right, Danny will get used to those two friendly cats. This was the first time for Danny.

[@31Alden]

Danny wants no trace of those cats - friendly or not - on his beautiful orange coat! ❤

[@dannycatyoung]

They were just a bit too friendly for Danny, and both at once! Danny couldn't take it, but afterwards at home it was like nothing ever happened 😀🐈❤️

[@31Alden]

@@dannycatyoung Yes, I couldn’t help but notice. I sensed Danny was a bit overwhelmed since this isn’t something he is used to. I wanted to scoop him up in my arms for a reassuring cuddle. Aren’t they funny though every time they act in control and nonchalant after something embarrassing or stressful, such as the cats’ encounter?! ((( Danny ))) ❤️🐾🐈

[@dannycatyoung]

Yes absolutely, Danny usually has that confidence about him, which went out the window at that moment 😂 Danny is actually OK when he encounters others cats, but he doesn't usually have more than one at a time to deal with.

[@31Alden]

@@dannycatyoung Altogether different dynamic when Danny encountered a “gang” of felines! 😉 Meanwhile …. Back home, Danny shook it off. Per usual. 😂

[@pamelahelengunchick654]

Thanks!

[@dannycatyoung]

You are so kind Pamela. Danny and his family send their love to you 🐈❤️❤️ We are so grateful.

[@user-xt4jy6qq6e]

My cat is currently serving 'time in' after his extremely anti-social behaviour to the neighborhood stray.... Danny and the neighbours were model citizens in comparison to my cats asbo behaviour 😻

[@dannycatyoung]

Oh no! I must admit that our Danny has been guilty of some minor asbo behaviour previously, before Cornwall, but in a territorial sense, so I guess that is acceptable 🐈❤️

[@susandrucker7937]

Gingers can be a suspicious and wary bunch.🐈❤️

[@dannycatyoung]

Yes, Danny is far more reserved now, and very cautious. The young Danny was different, always ready to defend his territory 😀🐈❤️

[@eyesoftexas3553]

How dare those pretty cats invade Danny boy's turf! I think those fluffy fellas wanted to be friendly but Danny is all business in his territory! Trees to climb and places to see. (and sniff ) Walks don't always go according to plan. Love to you from Texas. 🐱

[@dannycatyoung]

Thank you, great to hear from you in Texas! You are right, those two lovely cats just wanted to be friendly, but Danny was a bit overwhelmed bless him 😀🐈❤️

[@carolmelton9067]

Danny, I don't blame you! I hate it when people are overly friendly when I'm not in the mood to socialize - which is almost always 😂 Anyway I hope you have recovered and maybe next time you can psych yourself up to be more social, which is what I do when I'm going out and know I will actually be seeing other people.

[@dannycatyoung]

Danny does recover remarkably well after these encounters, and this was a minor one but a big deal for our Danny 😀

[@WhyDoYouExistX]

Nice, fresh, beautiful crisp cinnamon loaf ya gotcha'self there, straight out the oven 🧡

[@dannycatyoung]

Thank you! Danny does indeed have a cinnamon swirl on his coat 🐈😀❤️

[@eileenroberts9529]

Good to see Danny,his walks always seem so important to him and his audience.

[@dannycatyoung]

Danny loves his walks so much! He watches our every move intently every afternoon, waiting for us to leave the house 🤣🐈❤️

[@TatyanaTega]

Дэнни радуется прогулкам в любом варианте!😊

[@dannycatyoung]

Дэнни наслаждается каждой прогулкой, он так волнуется! 😀🐈❤️

[@chasidahL]

Ah, lovely Danny really wasn't in the mood to make new friends that day! Loved the neighbourhood cats approaching the camera & Danny ❤

[@dannycatyoung]

Thank you! 😊 Danny was a bit overwhelmed by two friendly but rather enthusiastic cats running to greet him 😀

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

Danny wasn't in a socializing mood. hehe😁😸

[@dannycatyoung]

No he wasn't, he was on a nice walk when these two appeared out of nowhere, friendly as ever 😂🐈❤️

[@rascalandluci]

Oh boy,, looks like Danny likes to be king of the concrete when he goes for his walks.

[@dannycatyoung]

This was an odd one, because Danny comes across other cats and usually copes ok. I think the fact that these two cats who were probably from the same household and approached him together was a little overwhelming for our lad!

[@SenseofSelf]

Danny gets more exercise than Magpie and I do put together 😅 He is looking spritely!

[@dannycatyoung]

😀 Danny can’t get enough of walking! We can’t go anywhere without him 😅🐈

[@jesswright8279]

Pleased to get home and get away from them sadly

[@dannycatyoung]

Danny was very happy to be home, and thankfully he doesn't let these episodes bother him. Like nothing's happened. Next time he meets these two friendly cats he'll be better we are sure.

[@HailAnts]

No one is going to mention how _both_ other cats have tracking collars?! Maybe those are more common in the UK, but they're not here in America. Not on cats anyway..

[@dannycatyoung]

We also noticed that and have not seen it before tbh. I am guessing that these cats are pedigree cats.

[@julianash4663]

Hello Danny iused to have a Siamese can be a bit growly. But ok hope to join you on ore walks virtually

[@dannycatyoung]

Those two cats were friendly, and you are right, the brown one was a bit unstable, hissed at me 😂 But Danny was being a bit dramatic!

[@julianash4663]

@@dannycatyoung the brown one scared me all that hissing 😂 glad our DAnny is ok

[@dannycatyoung]

Yes the brown one certainly had a bit of split personality, friendly one minute 😂

[@jennifersiagian]

like Bklyn in a way the colony (gang) of cats roaming~

[@dannycatyoung]

These two cats were friendly and really just wanted to meet Danny, but he was having none of it 😂 Brooklyn cats I imagine are another level of confidence!

[@pamelazuill8438]

At times you may want to carry a spray bottle ( of water) if you think there will be trouble, but those cats didn't appear to be vicious! plus they saw Danny had someone with him! Danny was just being cautious to the sound he heard!

[@dannycatyoung]

That is a good idea! These two cats were lovely and no threat to Danny, but I think that the two of them approaching our Dan together was a bit too much for him. 🐈❤️

[@bsastarfire250]

How exciting ! Danny being anti-social ...

[@dannycatyoung]

I am guessing that was sarcastic 😂

[@bsastarfire250]

No, sorry if it sounds that way.@@dannycatyoung

[@dannycatyoung]

No need to apologise, my fault entirely, thank you so much for watching 🐈❤️

[@michaelmueller9635]

Cats are very territorial. Danny knew, that this was not his territory and so he was very careful to cross it. Even the other cats were nice to you, Danny doesn't know, why you stick with them. Just give him with your presents backup without being rude to other cats.

[@dannycatyoung]

You are so right, cats are very territorial, which is one of the reasons this encounter bothered our boy, not to mention that there were two of them rushing towards him 😀We would never be rude to any cat. We are always loving to the cats we meet on our walks with Danny and this was no exception. As long as Danny is ok 🐈❤️

[@michaelmueller9635]

@@dannycatyoung (From my point of view) these cats were just making a statement, that they are around this area. This wasn't dramatic, just normal behaviour. If they were pushing it, it would be a loud and very vocal discussion about some hours. Maybe with some wrestling and some scratches. But even that is very normal. The thing in the situation was, that Danny maybe wanna follow you, but if another cat is in between you and him, he can't, if he doesn't want to go for/raise the conflict. So the options are * let Danny go for the conflict, if he wants to (normally its a good way to let cats deal with it ...cats only can be friends after they solved the conflict the one way or the other, not before) * be present but no other cat between you and Danny (otherwise he maybe wanna follow you, but can't because of the others) * take another route around the territory of the other cats

[@christina2119]

Keep cats IN !!

[@dannycatyoung]

No chance with Danny I'm afraid 😻

[@gwenratcliffe3815]

I have three cats in my home and not one of them socializes with one another. It's a really difficult situation for all four of us (this number includes myself). Danny's just being normal for a cat.👍🥳🪅🪅🪅

[@dannycatyoung]

Thank you, yes Danny was being a normal cat. These two very friendly interlopers tipped Danny over the edge. He'll be better next time 😀🐈❤️
