I used to have a tuxedo cat named Bianca. She was older than me, having joined the family 4 years before I was born. When my parents came to the shelter and the volunteer led them around and asked them questions like what sort of cat they were looking for, Bianca hopped onto my dad's shoulder. He said "We'll take this one." and they came home with her that day. Throughout my whole life she's been there for us. Our family has always struggled and we have all had some very low lows when it comes to our situation and our relationship with each other, yet no matter what, Bianca was there for every single one of us when we needed it. And if we didn't come to her, she'd come to us, despite struggling with multiple health issues including arthritis. Her primary nickname was either 'bonk' or 'nurse kitty' because she could always tell when you're sick or stressed and she'd come to snuggle you. A fact that's been engrained into my brain because she's been by my side for longer than I can remember is that she's always been there to be my nurse kitty. This year is the first year I've had to go through where that is not true. This year I have also been experiencing the biggest amount of change in my life ever before and it's been so hard to go through all of it without my nurse kitty by my side. She isn't just family, she was my guardian angel, and an angel of a cat she really was. I miss my tuxedo kitty so much. Rest in peace my sweet Bianca.

[@linseat7670]

@@ooohlaa13 Oh my word. At one time, we had four cats (my Nala was one) and we lost another to illness. So now we have two cats, and as we were getting through the grief, we thought, "Okay, well maybe now we won't be as in demand as we were with four cats," and how wrong we were. The two cats we have now have 'expanded' to fill the rest of the house! haha! They're 16 now (litter mates) and totally in charge. We love them dearly, but we know it's coming. "The gentility and strange nature of felines" is so spot on. I wish more was done to research why certain colours of moggies have certain personalities.

My black and white cat was my best friend. He would greet me at the door and put his arms around me for a hug each and every time and would sleep in my arms every night. Every person who met him simply told me he was the friendliest cat they had ever met. He helped me with my sobriety and left me shortly after I graduated, got a new career, and then engaged so he left me when everything in my life fell into place. I miss you Kimchi, I miss you every day. Thank you for all you've done.

I have a black and white cat. We got her as a stray all the way back in 2003, when I was just a child. She "chose" me. She is still alive today at the age of 19. Despite not having as much energy as she used to, she still has the same amount of love and affection.

I agree 100%. I just recently lost my black and white cat Escher. He was around 16. He looked a lot like the one in the video, with big black spots/patches. He was the calmest, most chill, sweetest cat ever, and I've always wondered if it was his breed or just his personality. So loving, and friendly, loved belly rubs and ppl, never growled or hissed a day in his life.... I agree this breed is a keeper, and i can't tell you how much i miss my boy!

[@maxmillion7007]

When I was a teenager our family moved to a house in the countryside. A few days after moving while we were unpacking, this black and white cat strolled in the back door. No fear, and very much checking us out. He showed up every morning and hung out with us for most of the day but near sundown he wanted out. He seemed to be well fed, very smart and alert but mostly wild. We called him Sylvester because of same markings as the cartoon and the wide cheek jaws and hair. He was larger than the average and very muscular. He would bring adult crows as "gifts" He also terrified all the neighbours dogs out of our yard but would curl up with our Lab for afternoon snoozes. If He wanted something and you didnt notice, you would get a very solid head butt. After about a year, Sylvester was acting a bit strange one day, He insisted on checking every room (in retrospect I believe he was checking to see if there were signs of our family moving out) then the next morning was at our back door but instead of coming in like normal was meowing and pacing in and out of doorway. He led us to the shed where his very pregnant mate (a very gentle black and white) was in a corner. He supervised us and seemed to approve of our getting blankets and food water for her. Considering this was the first time She met us, she was very trusting and let us pet her right away. I believe Sylvester communicated to her that "these humans are completely trained and safe" A few days after giving birth, Momma cat and kittens moved into the house where we had prepared a bed for them. Even our dog had instantly done the "you are part of our pack" vibe.

She knows that. It was a joke. Most people who have very nonchalant, passive personalities are looked at as having "no personality", but that's just a figure of speech. It's just a funny way at saying that your personality doesn't stand out.

[@BJones-yw4dd]

Yeah, I know -- the whole attitude of this video is pretty disrespectful to the FACT that cats are just as diverse and individual and quirky and calm/aggressive as dogs are, but this groomer simply is WAY too dog-oriented to even be commenting. And as far as I know, it is calicos (tri-color) cats who are viewed as "good fortune cats" in places like Japan. Are B&W cats also viewed as lucky somewhere? HAVING SAID ALL THAT -- I've had only one tuxedo cat and she was adorable, persistent, loved to play AND was otherwise pretty laid back. Does that mean all B&W cats are laid back? O Hell No....

Years ago, while still living in Hungary, we had a black and white cat, who was also a mainly indoors cat, but would sometimes wander outside. We lived on the 3rd floor, so he would climb out of the kitchen roof window and using the neighbouring rooves he would go down to the yard. When he finished his business outside, he would climb back up, slide on the roof windows for our home, with great noise I might add, till we noticed and let him in. Over his long life, he lost quite a few of his 9 lifes, but in the end he lived to a venerable 18 years.

[@LadyIarConnacht]

I wish more people would also talk about the hazards for indoor cats too, such as weight gain, nutritional deficiencies, boredom and resulting bad behaviors, and especially blockages and kidney failure due to using clumping cat litter. We don't even know how many cats are lost to these issues every year or dumped in shelters. Indoor-outdoor cats do have shorter lives, but sometimes have a better quality of life.

[@davesmith5656]

Indoor cats have fewer chances of getting stuck in trees.

[@Haggislover]

I agree about cats not being left to roam around outside unattended. They're a menace, but it's also not really safe for them. However, having said that, I'm training my kitten to walk outside with a harness and leash - that way she can have the best of both worlds.

[@snoopybluejeans]

@@LadyIarConnacht- I could write a whole book on this topic, thanks for bringing it up. My cats have always been outside/ inside cats on summer days, they were brought in at night though. In the winter they were far more inside cats, they'd go outside and do their business and watch the wild life, on the safety of their back deck.. I let them choose, when they wanted in. I have a fenced yard, but I also live on a dead end street with bushes there. I regularly went for walks with them, they loved it. But I also understand people that don't have a house or backyard, but they want a pet. Well, what I say to them is make sure your cat is happy, look after them with love and care, give them lots of toys and affection, take them to the vets when needed, don't feed them junk food. But one thing they shouldn't be preaching about is, if a cat has a better life inside. If any animal, and I'll include humans as well, lives just in apartments we would become a dying breed. All animals including us, is made to smell nature, feel the grass beneath our feet, hear bird-song and so much more. The best upbringing of a cat or dog owners is to give them both, give them the ability to run, jump and play with butterflies, waves, bugs and toys. Just make sure they are in their beds at night, as you would your own children.

She is a sweet and gentle kitty cat & very much needs to be near me at all times and if I am not near, she is very vocal in letting me know this fact! It has been a pleasure to watch over her until she returns to her mama which I hope is not too soon.❤

So I raised this black and white kitten and I was shocked by this video because he’s notorious in our family- he’s the one who breaks things, knocks things over, and goes completely bonkers- love him tho!

Yup, your assessment of black and white cats is so accurate. Mine is Whisky. He’s 22 years old and is an absolute gem. He toddles about like a wee old man unless there’s ham to be found, at which point he turns into an overexcited kitten. It’s the cutest funniest thing ever. He even miaows like an old man now too, imagine if a cat smoked a whole packet of cigarettes at once, that’s what he sounds like. He’s an outdoor cat who loves to even sleep outside in summer, he’ll take off for days at a time then come strolling back in like ‘hey, whassup?’ He’s a crazy big furball and I’d be lost without him ❤️

We didn't love him more, he just had such a huge presence, almost regal. We love and miss you Tab 🖤🤍🕊🙏🏽.

[@Emily-hd9sm]

My family has a cat that showed up in our yard and gradually became an indoor cat. He was super friendly and was clearly not feral, but his old owners seemed to have left him because he ate food on our porch every day and spent increasing amounts of time in our yard. Then he got injured so we had to keep him quarantined in our basement to let him recover and make sure he didn't develop rabies, and after that it was winter and we couldn't make him go out into the snow, so he stayed. We let him go outside when he cried because he had clearly gotten used to roaming the yard, but over time he stopped going any farther than the sunny spot on our deck, and now in his old age he's a purely indoor cat. Definitely glad he adopted us 💞

[@ryano.5149]

Yep! Happened my folks and I. She has an ear notch, so she might have been ferral or a stray or something...but she just kinda showed up one day. She jumped into our laps when we were sitting outside on our deck. Long story short, now you could hold the front door wide open in front of her, and she just turns up her little nose and walks away to her cosy spot on **her** armchair! lol

[@marilynnorford7049]

My story is similar. A stray showed up on my back porch, her body covered in the falling sleet. She was a garage/outdoor cat for a while, then disappeared for three days. She showed up on my porch once more, her body swollen with infection from two puncture wounds. Off to the vet, recovery time in my laundry room. Eight years later, she rarely asks to go out, only to join me if I’m sitting on the porch. At the moment, she’s snoozing away in her soft, furry, pink calming bed.”

[@marciatucker5171]

What a pretty baby! We had a tuxedo cat, well, she had us - she was a stray that we fed, then took her with us when we moved. Always an outdoor cat, though my husband built her a cat motel with a heat lamp in the garage for the winter. She was feral, would not tolerate being held or picked up. But she was a great mouser! We transitioned her to indoors one really bad winter and she managed the transition with her usual tuxedo elegance and grace. (By the way, cute Lupa cameo!)

[@lesliemartin3]

We had a black and white cat named Toby. He actually became bff's with so many neighborhood cats that a few decided they were just going to stay at our house. We started with two and ended up with five, the three would always say hello to their owners but snuggle with their friend at night. It would seriously be a pile of cats sleeping together on Toby's cat bed. Since we had a cat door they all moved in.
