People Who Hate Cats Live With Cats For A Week // Presented By BuzzFeed & Rachael Ray Nutrish

[@lbbp22]

When I was a child I wanted a cat and one day a bedraggled calico kitten showed up at the back door. My father, who considered himself a cat hater, only relented because I was very ill at the time. Fast forward a couple of months and my father has my mother and me doing all his bidding because "I've got the cat on my lap and I don't want to disturb her." She lived to be a very spoiled 22.

[@kimberlypatton205]

My late husband was the king of cat haters! Until I took him to adopt one to keep him company at home during the day after he became disabled and in a wheelchair permanently. He then TOTALLY became a the best cat daddy there ever was! And he said to me, “ I just never realized just how bonded you can be… how much is just an “understanding “ of love you can have with them!” It is something so intimate , so personal at times that it can almost feel like ESP! I love my cats.. and to hear that from him meant the world to me! He bought his cat, “Fu Shen” the very best food, toys, water and a litter box that flushed away with the toilet hookup! He told me several times he had awakened in his recliner to find Fu Shen on his chest with his nose in his face… checking to make sure his breathing was okay… his love affair with cats began, and grew until he passed away in 2017…. At the time we had about 30 cats and kittens we fostered… the happiest I’ve ever seen him!

I adopted a cat, and she is his soul mate. She hangs out with him all day, sleeps on a stool on his side of the bed at night and he hasn't had an anxiety attack in over a year.

tip: if you get a new cat and it goes under the couch or instantly hides, it's completely natural for cats. Do not try to lure them out or watch them instead just let them come out themselves at their own time.

[@wordforger]

Yep. Trying to go after them stresses them out. Cats will come to you once they sense you're safe. People that are stressed out about them stress them out in turn. Once you're calm, they'll be calm and want to be with you.

[@lairoslairoslairos]

Cats are very alert in New areas as they are small and have retained their instincts much better than dogs have. If you leave it alone for a while it will gradually understand theres nothing to fear and will eventually walk around freely.

Dogs are predators but cats are both predators and prey

[@GeeklingNo1]

Cats are prey animals as well as predators. Dogs aren’t prey. That means that cats are more cautious and careful than dogs. They start off by finding a safe place to go if something bad happens.

[@terryo1463]

A cat loves you when they trust you. They don't automatically trust you but once they do. They REALLY love you. I wasn't a cat person until my first stray and I am so happy for that day otherwise I would have always just been a dog person. Now I am lucky to be both.

[@terryo1463]

@@simonhughes6772 you are deluded for even saying that. Okay so a dog is capable of loving and a cat isn't. That is so ridiculous of you to say. When I sit down they come and sit next to me and purr. They have food in a bowl that's left out all day so I know they don't want food. When I move my cat to lay on her bed she gets right back up and comes back over to me. She wouldn't do that if she didn't care for me. When I am outside she follows me around and while I garden. She lays in the grass right next to me as I fix the flowers and follows me in when I finish she loves being around me.

[@twistedoldloony]

[@AlbredaWelde]

@@missblueberry1033 When you walk the neighborhood with a sick/injured cat and keep getting every door closed in your face, then take the cat in and post it locally, pay the vet's bill, grow attached to it, keeping it is most certainly the right thing to do. When no one steps up and will admit to letting their pet out to get injured/sick or dumping it, it is pretty safe to say that you can keep that cat with no problem. I have never kept a cat that I didn't try to track down an owner. With that said, I currently have several who absolutely no one will claim. There are far more people tossing out cats that they don't care about (and who are too inconvenient) or dumping cats when they are hurt then you think.

Having a dog is like having a child that never grows up - you get love without work but keeping them alive and healthy is a lot of work. Having a cat is like having a roommate - taking care of them is not a lot of work but building a relationship with them takes effort. Personally I prefer cats. I find it more rewarding to know that a cat likes me for being kind to them and I appreciate that I can just hang out with my cats without them needing something from me all the time (except food).

Last year my family helped a stray cat, she’d walk into our house when the back door was open, her paw was injured. We’d feed her and eventually she let us pet her, much to our other cats disliking (they eventually got along) but my family love animals too much not to help. During the time of the cat becoming familiar with us we did our best to bandage her paw and we took pictures of her and went around our entire neighborhood to see if anyone recognized the cat in the picture but no one did so once she trusted us we took her to our local, trustworthy vets. She had no microchip and to the vet seemed somewhere between domestic and semi-feral because of her attitude and her fur which means she may have previously had an owner who didn’t intend on keeping or loving her. We left her with the vet for 48 hours, our vet bathed her, treated her paw better than we did, checked her for anything that could make our cat sick and gave her injections and flea treatment, he charged us half the normal price because we helped the cat and tried our best to help her paw. We adopted her formally and took her home when the vet called. We named her Luna because she had mysterious, moonlike eyes. The one thing the vet didn’t do was check if she was pregnant but that was because she looked too young to be carrying kittens. She was only 7-8 months old. Not long later her little tummy grew and at first we just thought we were feeding her well but her tummy kept growing, we’d find her sleeping in odd positions that she didn’t sleep in at the start and she wouldn’t be more than a foot away from me or my mum, she’d randomly meow (she was usually a silent cat). One day I was gently rubbing her stomach and felt movement and later invited my friend around who has a queen (a cat who’s had a litter of kittens in the past) and she checked out the cat, she said that cat was definitely pregnant and would probably start trying to nest soon. She gave me some advice which included checking with the vet so we took her to the vet and he confirmed what my friend had told me. One afternoon I couldn’t find Luna. I searched the entire house for her, eventually finding her in a laundry basket with a kittens little back paws sticking out underneath her tail, after a few minutes she started properly yowling in pain as she pushed. After two hours two kittens and a stillborn kitten lay in the laundry basket with her. She wouldn’t let me remove the stillborn kitten so I left her alone to lick it but the resuscitation tactics sadly didn’t work. One kitten was born with deformed legs and a jaw that wouldn’t close, 3 days later he sadly passed away. The one kitten, a little girl was perfectly healthy, a gorgeous gray/blue coloured fur once Luna had cleaned up. Luna mourned the two kittens by howling when she was alone and while we were in bed or out of the house, she was a good mother to the surviving kitten, one night when the kitten was 2 weeks old she fell off the small beanbag that Luna had carried her to but Luna was in her litter box upstairs and the kitten was wiggling around silently so I picked her up and checked her to make sure she wasn’t injured (I wouldn’t leave the room the kitten was in just in case something bad happened) and Luna came back in and bit my leg, I crouched down and showed her the kitten was safe, Luna started licking my hand and then the kittens head. I found the cat carrier, took the lid part and the little door off and placed the bean bag inside and put the little kitten on the beanbag, Luna joined her shortly afterwards, gently licking the kitten. Luna then glanced at me, for me it was a magical moment because for the first time I didn’t see her mysterious eyes, I saw trustful eyes. Luna trusted me which was a blessing. She let me handle the kitten to make sure she was alright, gently rub a finger over her head to pet her and examine her nails to make sure they weren’t broken because of the beanbags fabric. Once the kitten was old enough we started weaning her away from Luna’s company and milk and eventually I introduced the kitten to one of my other friends and she instantly fell in love and wanted to adopt this kitten however they already had a cat who was 8 years old and grumpy, also my friends father cat hated cats (tolerated the cat that lived with them) but my friend was old enough to make her own decisions and adopted the kitten. Not long later Luna sadly passed away, I was unaware because I was away on holiday. But her kitten was happily living with my friend. My friends father began to love the kitten, he’d watch her play and sleep with a smile. Their grumpy cat loved the kitten too, both my friends father and the cat had a new joy in life, this kitten also bought the family back together after some arguments. All I can say is thank you Luna for bringing this beautiful kitten into everyone’s life, she made a cat hater and a cat who hates other cats love her just by being herself and I know Luna would’ve been proud! 💕

I was surprised when my dad said we could feed her outside because he hated strays in his yard. This went on for about a year or two when finally, this past winter we got really bad snow storms, he let her inside (on his own mind you, no one asked him if she could come in.) And the two have been best friends ever since. He won't admit it but he loves that cat, I'll catch him talking to her or snuggling with her and when I make a comment about it he just says "The cat wants food... you should feed her." Lol, it's so funny.

It might be a generalization, but I have met some cats who genuinely hated me and I did nothing to them. I remember my friend owned a cat who would hide under the couch I was sitting on and bite the back of my ankles and if I got careless and let my arm hang over the side of the couch, my fingers were getting viciously bitten. I hated that cat. But I have had a cat that just loved me instantly and I didn't have to do anything to get that love. Just from the moment he saw me and bopped his head against my shin, we were inseparable until he died to some dogs next door. So people who hate all cats just haven't met enough cats to know how awesome they can be.

Honestly, I've always been a dog person. That is- until this summer when I got my cat xD She loves everyone in the house, she plays fetch and catch, and she's the sweetest little cuddle buddy ever- She's an awesome cat- I couldn't have ever asked for one better than her! Plus, she's very careful- if we put a toy on ourselves, normally she'd pounce, but she knows it would hurt us so she will sit and wait for it to go back on the floor xD She's the sweetest, and I've grown to love her so much even though it's only been eight months with her, and she's not even a year old yet. She really filled up my life, I can't imagine a single day without her- I judged cats too quickly until I got one- never pass up the chance for a cat- they'll really bring a whole new life of fun to you :)

[@niamhmcdermott7512]

My mum was afraid of cats, thought they were sly, could be vicious, unpredictable and couldn't be loving. So I didn't tell her that I got us a cat I just brought it home, a week later the kitty was her baby, she's crazy at play time, she lives on my mum's lap and loves cuddles! 3 years later still the best decision I've ever made

[@lsmithgoose]

I was going to ask generally if you/your family were Irish or Catholic? Then I saw your name, so potentially the former. I am half Irish, and I know my grandma and aunt both feel that way strongly about cats. All my life my mum herself was a cat lover. But I remember her saying it was something of a cultural thing. But I was young and cant remember what she said haha. (Mind my aunt is the eldest, in her 70s now, my grandmother would be about 100 now. I do know it was more a historical than present day thing) just curious if you know about that. Its mainly cause that description is so like what I remember my aunt telling me.

Absolutely anecdotal on my behalf but interesting. I am so glad your mum was converted though :D my two best friends over decades of knowing them have both, in the last year realised they adore cats.

Dogs will automatically like you. With cats, you need to earn their love. It takes time for them to warm up, trust you enough and become affectionate and cuddly.

+Chgo Gal they aren't snobby. They just like having space. Cat's minds are more similar to our minds than dog's minds are.

[@aswaney7449]

+Chgo Gal They're not snobby at all. They're just like people. Some of them are very social like dogs, but most of them respond to how you behave towards them. If they don't know you, they'll ignore you. But if you get to know and love them, they will love you back unconditionally. Plus cats are low maintenance (no need to bath them or walk them), and you don't have to pay attention to them all the time. Just a few moments of bonding a day is all you need (play time and feed time) and you let them do the rest (cuddle next to you, etc)

[@maisajabr3138]

+Aes Sedai ya and also you don't need bath time cause when they lick them selves that means that they are taking a bath them selves but if they stay too long without bath time then you should totally bath them

[@aswaney7449]

Maisa Jabr Totally depends on the breed and if they're strictly indoors or not. Some breeds like the sphinx does need regular baths. And some like the abyssinian will volunteer for baths willingly lol (they love to swim). But my cat doesn't need one at all. She's strictly indoors and hasn't had a bath since we brought her home from the shelter 7 years ago and she's still fine, just needs occasional brushes :)

I think if more people became educated on just basic cat behaviors like when their uncomfortable, comfortable, and when to wait for conset from the cat lots of people would like cats
