Taking a Break

[@brittanymaria89]

I first came across your channel when I moved to Oregon in 2017. I watched the entire series on Austin, and l learned so much in the process. For the last few years I lost your channel, I could not find it and could not remember the name and I can’t tell you how it’s been plaguing me, sometimes daily, to find your channel again. You taught me a lot when I first moved here, prepared me for the wilderness (SW Washington especially Gifford Pinchot where I spend a lot of time) and I am so grateful for that. I am a small female, and an herbalist, and spend a lot of time in nature alone. But I have learned a lot over the last 5 years living here and I have you to thank me for instilling deep awareness in me at the very beginning of me moving here. Your channel came back into the KZbin orbit for me and I freaked out that I finally found it again!! And now so sad it’s a recent goodbye video! I’ll be bringing everything I missed over these years, and I hope you return. Just wanted you to know your intention, and sincere care and concern has been instilled into me all these years. Thank you and be safe :)

Kristopher Zitzewitz’s remains have been found!

[@OwlWhite12]

I thought of you out of the blue last night🤔Glad to see you again! Thanks for letting us know what’s up so we don’t worry about you guys.. we will be here when you come back-until then, be safe out there!

[@MWhaleK]

Thanks for the update, please come back when you can.

[@leonszura6423]

I go back to rat snd cat and have many fond memories back there in 2016ish. The reason. I've stayed is for the very reason of your sincere rational loving comments I just witnessed . You have been and are "AWOKE" The artistic and clever opening of your channel is hands down the best ob youtube. Then, all the invaluable content! Will miss you...but you're doing the right thing. Keep that family safe...we love you guys ..peace N

[@HabeasJ]

New subscriber enjoying your content for 2-3 years back and bumbed to see you're gone (for now). Hoping for a solid return soon!

[@_5_675]

I think you are one of the best youtubers, but life does get in the way. I hope you can return one day with more interesting videos.

[@justanotherdud]

Take care of yourself! Thanks for sharing your videos with us and hope we'll see you again some day if you have the time or desire to come back!

[@BronxBastard730]

Hello Nikia , hope all is well . I've always enjoyed your videos , especially the original series when you were in Skamania looking for Austin O. . Your presence will be missed , I hope you return soon but until then take it easy and thank you

Nikia, I hope you are doing well...miss your content

[@RatandCat]

Thanks Artari. I miss doing it. Hopefully I'll get a chance to again soon. I need to take care of some things first.

[@Artari]

@@RatandCat ok Nikia, look forward to see more from you, but take care your private matters... take care

[@securemindsetofficial]

1 name, Davinchi resolve. Take your rest, I'll see you around. Thank you for your work Nikita! Join us on odysee or lbry! I feel you, the video editing is quite a time commitment. Maybe, do some videos that are not so labor intensive in the future. We are here no worries.

[@riverrat8693]

I'll miss you man. I love your work and your personality. I'm really interested in what your truths are not that it really matters but it sounds like you have some foundational beliefs. You're very mysterious in that I cant tell which way you lean. You sound very serious about your convictions though and Im intrigued if they align with my truths. It almost seems like you're one of those intolerant progressive leftist that hate God and conservatism and even if any of those beliefs were obviously true you'd find someway to deny it. Either that or youre a cool liberal who sees the truth on each side. For me Im a hardcore Trumper who used to be a progressive until I grew up and decided to evaluate my truths. I quit doing drugs and expecting the whole world to take care of me . Either way I respect you, I just find it very interesting. Thank you for your channel and wonderful content, and good luck taking care of everything ❤️

[@austinstone9388]

Hope to see you back here soon Nikia. I have a love for Gifford Pinchot and really enjoyed watching your videos around there and come back time to time to watch again.

[@margaretwerderits3226]

Thank you for your encouraging and positive outlook. I've watched you for a long time and will be pleased to see you even if it is just for a brief moment. I wish you success and happiness with your work and family. I'm a better person for having crossed paths with you. Thank you.

[@laurajunerose]

I sure hope you create more videos in the future. I will certainly rejoin your Patreon when you do. I have enjoyed each and every video and I have learned a lot. Wishing you all the best always! I agree with you 100% that we all need to have more compassion for others and that we all need to search for the truth. You are a great content creator. I love all your interview videos, you are really very good at that, probably because you are such a caring person. Take care my friend.

[@stephaniehansen7921]

I got hooked on your channel with the Austin Oldfield mystery...I still re-watch it because it is so intriguing. Good luck to you and your family.

[@EphemeralProductions]

Exactly what got ME started on his channel! :)

[@raydioclashX]

Hope you enjoy your break and take the time to get centered. The political climate can be overwhelming, its important to protect yourself from it to an extent. There is not enough commitment to truth and it is frustrating. I enjoy your channel and I hope you will come back when your circumstances permit it. I myself had to take a long break from making videos when we moved to a new house last year. Regarding people going missing who are drunk, high, or mentally ill, I have made comments to that effect, and I want to be clear that I don't think it decreases their human value, but it DOES however put them at higher risk of something going wrong, which is why it is relevant. It can help to explain their disappearance, it doesn't mean they shouldn't be searched for.

[@kriscanan7232]

You reaffirm my faith in humanity! Honesty, love, faith, hope, and compassion are so very important, so undervalued, and more and more overlooked! May God bless you and yours, keeping you safe and secure, always!!!!

[@Artari]

Aloha Nikia, nice to see an update...I will wait patiently for your return. Take your time , I will still support you.

[@securemindsetofficial]

Got your back! Rest I'll see you around! Stay safe!

[@aubreymaxam7465]

You got to do what you have to do do. So take care of you and yours. Ill be watching for you when you come back. So God Bless.

[@jamesguralski5156]

You should read people's sasquatch stories! You have the it! The qualities that people want to listen to what you have to say and share!

[@tac1858]

We'll be here when you come back. Take care!

[@doofhund3526]

Thank you for your videos. I hope to see more one day. Take care.

[@hertribe1978]

Hello! Long time sub Hope you're doing well. Missing your segments, come back when you're ready. Take care

[@carmenvazquez512]

Hola. Nice to see you back again we are leaving hard times please be advice and be carefull everywhere and all the time GOD BLESS YOU ALL DONT FORGAT YOUR ETERNAL AND LOYAL FRUEND JESUSCRIST BLESSINGSS

[@artdeco1930s]

I've enjoyed this channel, though if possible, I would still like to know about the reality of the missing folk that are never seen again. From watching your past videos of missing persons, and the strange supernatural facts, creatures seen and their behaviour & events that surrounds their disappearances is evident that something is going that is just plain unusual and even supernatural. Sure, people become lost, survive, and are found, but so many more disappear in the most supernatural way. Eg, from this channel; ~ the little boy who vanished while playing hide and seek under the watchful eyes of his parents in i think 1968. ~ the shoes of missing folk found neatly side by side ~ the man who walked to his car which was parked at the edge of the national park, and was never seen again. Would like to hear such stories. Something bazaar is happening in the National Parks. Please include more of this if possible?

[@laurajunerose]

Just started watching your videos over again. Hoping that all is well with you and your family.

[@ndobbins58]

I agree with you about politics. It’s smart to read and view several sources else you are consuming what you are being fed and can be manipulated. Everyone who is missing is important!! Getting ready to watch your other videos so I can learn how to be safer. Take care and thanks for the information. Be true to yourself!!

[@patricknoble5112]

Hey buddy glad your doing well

[@jamesguralski5156]

Come back anytime!

[@peppernc429]

Been missing you!

[@sharidcosta6627]

Thank you so much 🇨🇦 please take care we will miss you 💕

[@dennisseverns4014]

Thank you for your honesty, have enjoyed all of your videos. Wish you the best on whatever you do.

[@s.williamc.]

Hope all is going well for you and your family. They recently found two skulls in the area where Kristopher was lost. One of them is assumed to have been him. An update video when the remains are identified would be informative. Perhaps you could include John from the SAR team? I’ve been watching the whole playlist about your search for Kristopher. Thanks for the videos I enjoy watching them hopefully his family will gain some closure if it is him they found.

[@jadeross361]

I stumbled across your channel a few years ago, I’ve always enjoyed your content! Thank you for all you’ve done! The world most definitely needs more compassion! Hope to see you back soon! Good luck with all your projects!

[@christielawrence4640]

Blessings upon you, I truly hope to see your contributions again! Your priorities are in the right places.

[@saucytart2263]

Nakia, thank you for taking the time to speak to us. Will miss you and look forward to the next time😘

[@EphemeralProductions]

Hello sir! Hope your doing great!! It’s been almost a year since you posted this! Hope you’re now thriving and “aliving”! 😁😁. I noticed on your channel description you said you’re working on phasing out the rat And cat name and removing and the videos associated with it! Id like to request you please don’t do that! I love all those old videos and they’re what drew me to your channel!! So i hope you can be persuaded to leave them. ❤️

[@RatandCat]

Hey Tall32guy, I really like the Rat and Cat brand, but it didn't fit with the search & survival theme which people were more likely to subscribe & respond to. A bigger deal is that my web hosting company GoDa** didn't update my payment info on that domain when I asked them to so I lost the web domain and email address and a broker snatched it up right away, kinda holding it ransom. :( Tried to fight it but it would have been an expensive battle. On a different subject, I hope to post a channel update soon.

[@EphemeralProductions]

@@RatandCat crummy!!! But i look forward to your channel update! So glad to hear from you and glad you’re all right and doing good! Thanks so much sir! ❤️

Still waiting on Nikia to bring this channel back to life

[@MissNikkor]

There are events that occur that make you have to rethink everything. Set aside some things and bring others forward. The game plan changes for an indefinite period. Take care and hope to see you again in future episodes one of these days

[@JayCaseGT500]

I have been a subscriber since the very beginning, like first hundred subs! I appreciate all the content and hard work you have put forth over the last 6 years. I like who you are and appreciate what you represent. Thank you very much. Take care.

Still standing by. Looking forward to your return

[@WesternStarTara]

I just don't understand why I just now seen your video scrolling I missed rat and cat, and enjoyed your channel for years hope everything grants to time to upload a video check in if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have known of the missing in Oregon and not found thank you .

[@riverrat8693]

Hope all is well and I really hope you start back up soon. I love watching you explore Skamania.
