The story of Lancelot

[@StellatheKat]

Lancelot, defends the vet, saves other cats lives by donating blood and poops on shoes. Definitely a legend.

Leigh Amanda laughed at this comment for at least 10 minutes. also the two cats in your profile picture are extremely adorable

[@Suzanne4415]

Being dead serious: the children's book should include the shoe pooping and all of his weird little behaviors. Someone needs to let kids know you can be a magnificent hero and also a total weirdo & bed wetter. God I love cats.

[@HelpfulVancouverVet]

I'll pass your suggestion on to the author!

[@Suzanne4415]

Aw! Of course he should really do what he wants, but thanks for letting us all know the truth :)

[@M-Is-For-Margaret]

Your comment reminded me of an NPR article I read a long time ago. I looked it up. Robert Krulwich writes about Mathew Inman's story/cartoon about his cat, Domino. Domino who slobbers and poops outside the litter box. If you are interested, here's the link theoatmeal.com/comics/house

[@h0n0lulu83]

Very true, Suzanne!! Don't leave out the quirks, but tell them, too, so the hero becomes more human (or in this case, feline) and children have a more realistic idol and won't be angry at themselves if they're not perfect all the time! Because every bit of good you do is making you a hero, no matter what other quirks and weaknesses you may have. This children's book based on Lancelot could carry a very powerful message to it's readers!

[@AlbertTorcaso]

@@HelpfulVancouverVet I agree with what was saud, because other special pets may be saved if people see no pet or animal is perfect.

"I don't know who names their cat Lucifer" My cat is named Satan although it's because the humane society misspelled Satin and I decided to keep it and not because he is evil.

[@IlGattonero13]

The peeing sounds like territorial insecurity -- especially when he wasn't wanted and/or was getting moved around from one environment to the next. It seems like a desperate move to claim ownership of something. It's telling that he would pee on the belongings of the person he wants to bond with -- he's trying to mingle his scent with the object of his affection! So glad Dr. Uri gave this sweet and noble boy a home. Thanks for telling us his story.

[@jeremysmith54565]

Yeah could be :) I mean its like another version of something I was thinking before....

[@vixenkitty7942]

I see Sir Lancelot has been receiving his daily required squishes. Looking fine as ever 👌

LOL!!! It's perhaps his way of saying this is mine so he does so lol, again bit misguided but that's his thing!

[@rnbrineg]

And to think if that girl had gone to another vet clinic they probably would have had him put down. I understand why he couldn't be a normal indoor cat but I'm so glad he could find a home (and a noble purpose) with your clinic!

Good on you for giving him a home despite his "displays of affection". He looks quite happy and content with you.

[@smleeish]

Thanks for sharing Lancelot's story! This chivalrous, poopy cat is so adorable and I can tell he loves you guys very much as well

[@Vera----]

Aaww he is just overly protective handsome boy who pees on your stuff that smells like you most (pillow, shoes, blankets) because he wants two of your smells to be together. This way everyone will know you are a great team (pack). Smells are like flags to them💚

[@JeffreyGroves]

Our 21 year old cat Sweetie has a similar trait of peeing on everything. We too finally found that if we left a towel out (for Sweetie it has to be on the floor of the bathroom) that she would use that only and like your situation we just throw the towel in the washing machine and are glad that she doesn’t pee anywhere else any more!

[@taylorserenil323]

reality: cats are strange and wondrous beasties, heavy emphasis on "strange". (mine are rescues--i have a mama calico and her kittens ended up being a package deal because the local feral people were full and they were so contact skittish at that point that they weren't deeemed adoptable. i get kitten cuddles NOW, but it took a couple months of "lots of talking but almost no attempt to *touch*" to pull that one off.)

[@amandamfds]

So many bad things around the world... This channel is basically a bunker of kindness and positivity!

[@andrianak7540]

[@pastel-sunrise]

Kids find poop hilarious. So leaving that part in wouldn't necessarily scare them off, quite the contrary in some cases, lol. Anyway thankyou for sharing! :)

[@nopenopenopenope4076]

Don Quixote De La Mancha is a more apt name, I think. But that's just me.

[@HelpfulVancouverVet]

I concur. I'd like to think Cervantes would have been bemused by his misguided heroism!

[@jeffreyvasquez3911]

So funny, I had a very good kitty that would poop in my boyfriends shoes....but I pretty sure he didn’t like my boyfriend.. so I got rid of the boyfriend and keep the cat... married a wonderful man Jeff now for 15years and now my cat is 18, cat never poop in my husband shoes so I think my cat approved of him. Some cats just have weird habits..just like people ...well, not the pooping in shoes part lol.🤣oh I hope not anyways.🐈🐈🐈💕sincerely Mary!!!!

[@1337Shockwav3]

That's how I got with my flatmate ... apparently I was the only guy applying the cat approved of :) Ironically, when Mr. Kitty guy got sick a while ago (bladder stones) it was of course my bed/pillow that would get peed on. After being quite miserable and unable to pee for almost a week (his bladder had to get manually drained for a week) he got operated and is doing great ever since and still highly appreciative about saving his life, even tho he lost his man parts. We recently started letting him outside and you can walk him almost like a dog (occasionally he'll get "stuck" in places he finds interesting and won't listen, but can be lured easily). Definitely one of my favorite cats I've lived with over the years (must have been almost 10).

[@donkeyshow8543]

Good for you, never ever ditched your beloved pet for a man, or a woman, or heck, even a landlord!

[@bdlrnzi]

I live with a rescue Persian named Bogart and Bogey has been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. This can be very messy, but it is now under control with medication and a healthy diet. Bogey however blamed his condition on litter and would avoid it by pooping on the floor near his litter box. I put newspaper down near the box to protect the floor and he was happy to poop on the newspaper. We came up with a compromise and I put sheets of newspaper atop the litter in his box and he uses that now. He is a fussy cat and needs a second box, also covered with newspaper to pee in. He has in the past peed directly on the litter in one of his brother Humphrey's boxes, but only if it is pristine -- freshly cleaned and filled. Unfortunately, that's not practical. This system works virtually all the time. It is the only reason I subscribe to the local newspaper. -- Barbara from Montreal

[@almasprawoto2191]

This vet is soooo fine smh

[@user-qk6qp5ug7z]

He may not get to protect the clinic staff, but at least the well-meaning noble Lancelot gets to save lives via blood donation

[@RolandsSh]

I love that his cat bed is shaped like a kings crown. Super appropriate for such regal looking and noble cat!

[@FunSizeSpamberguesa]

He's such a magnificent floofball, but he seems to have a few wires crossed. It's great that you've found ways to deal with his unfortunate habit. And at least poop comes out of a shoe better than pee, if you can actually wash the shoe.

[@NaneelQueenOfDarknes]

you know Leodegrance and Percival were actually the most noble of Arthur's knights. Lancelot had carnal relations with queen Gwenevere. but he does seem like a very good cat and thus far i like the videos of yours. keep up the good work. i have 2 dogs myself. a 5 to 7 year old lemon walker hound named Stupid and a not quite 2 year old lab/pit mix named Smudge. i have some videos of them on my channel. just search for them by name.

What a delightful video Dr. Uri. Lancelot is a beautiful boy. It's so good that you were able to give him a home and the important role of being a blood donor. ♡

[@JodelCuasay]

I had a cat before who was similar to Sir Lancelot. Every time I left my parents' place to go back to uni, he'll poop on my bed. That's his way of "protecting my bed from other person who will attempt to use it.

[@keanadianne]

Lancelot is a good boy! My cat used to gift me dead animals. They don’t communicate the same exact way we do, but it’s the thought that counts. Animals are so incredibly sentient and loving.

[@arlenetheebean]

It's so good to know of another cat with weird preferences! I also have a weird little man! My cat will NOT poop in his litter box (he actually has 3). I've tried pretty much everything: different litter, water in the tub (he poops on the floor), box in the tub (poops on the floor), empty litter box, bigger litter box, covered litter box, wet food, pheromones, etc. Took him to the vet they ran some tests and the vet goes "I guess he's just a weird guy! At least we know he's loved very much!" Which is true. He is my son and I love him dearly.

[@nsavar5864]

Maybe try setting up a box with a towel. Or like another commenter suggested, a towel directly on the floor or the tub (or both). Maybe like one of my kitties, he doesn't like the feel or dust or smell of litter. Mine pees and poops on towels I put in cat boxes -- interestingly, one in the tub and one on the bathroom floor! I'm so glad you love your little man and keep him bathed in love. Best to you both.

[@matrixdefector4344]

Lancelot is surely the noblest cat on KZbin. Thank you for sharing his story with us! It's a shame he developed such a negative habit of inappropriate elimination and I wonder about the story behind that. However, he has ended up in a wonderful position because of it, where he can love and be loved by so many amazing people. Thank you for the work you do with animals! And thank Lancelot on my behalf for saving lives with his blood donations.

[@LC-le9ew]

Now we know about Sir Lancelot! Thank you!

[@SwedishStorm]

I wanted to add to someone else's comment. I am a pre-school teacher and many of my kids like to talk about bodily functions. Accidents happen and some of my kids get very upset at themselves if for example they didn't make it to the bathroom in time and instead ended up peeing on themselves. It happens, it's natural and I always make sure that they know it is normal. It should not be a source of shame for them, ever. Having a story about a cat who poops and pees in unusual places would be fun to read, and I think kids would like it.

[@kateturbay]

Thank you for sharing this lovely cat’s story. They certainly have mysterious ways of showing us their affection. My Merlin throws things to the floor to catch my attention and then jumps on my lap and rubs his face to mine. Such adorable creatures. Thank you doc!

What a wonderful story! What I most love about cats is that each one of them have such different personalities, just like us. My cat, Chiquito, is the most lovable cat I've ever seen in my life, he makes friends with EVERYONE, even dogs who bark for no reason at all, when he arrives, they just stop and act friendly towards him.

[@valentinamoraes2619]

He is one of a kind... Such a peculiar way to express his "affections" ! Great story. lol.

[@miharuhattori]

honestly he is one of the prettiest cats I've ever seen and I've seen tons of beautiful cats. also my mum wanted to call our first cat Luzifer but kinda hadn't made up her mind when she went to the vet so she said "Miezi" when he asked for the name (which is like the german equivalent of the name "Kitty") but he misheard and wrote down "Mikki" so that became his name. he was also very chivalrous and always protected me as a baby

[@kaleoy7584]

I'd include his peeing and pooping affection in the children's book. It's the main reason why he's been re-homed a few times. It's also a part of his traits. A unique trait that IMO equals other notable traits such as him being a large cat, protective cat, male cat, etc.. I truly hope the furbaby wasn't punished while with his previous owners when he would shower his affection on their possessions. If I were that employee that found a Lancelot Surprise in one of my shoes, I would love that furbaby even more. It would warm my heart knowing he thinks of me and by leaving scented presents on my belongings, I'd know he loves me, too.

How funny - marking his territory, except looks like kitty doesn't know if he's 'coming or going'. What a nice guy you are for putting up with Lancelot's rather unsanitary quirks!

[@jooleebilly]

I had a foster kitten like this named Buddy. I had two of my own cats, and everyone got along, but after a couple of months not being adopted, Buddy started getting possessive(?). Almost every night I'd wake up to him draining his bladder on my legs through the blankets. He even did it once right on my jeans when I was in my living room with people visiting! I knew he wasn't ill (we checked). I took him to the adoption center one weekend to leave him there for 4-5 days because he was so cute and a good cat but he was about 6 months old and hadn't been adopted yet. They called me two hours after I left to ask if I could come get him because he was meowing pitifully and so loudly I could hear him over the phone! So I went to get him and one woman there flat out said "This is your cat. You're his person." But I petted him and spent time with him there and he got adopted that day. For one day. Then I had to go pick him up because he wouldn't stop yowling. I couldn't adopt him, so I took him back to the adoption center the next weekend. I didn't want to leave and have to come right back so I was hanging out with him and a couple who'd met him a few months back said "He's still here?!?" and they adopted him on the spot. And he loves them! A few months later, they sent us a picture of him stretched out on the TV table, totally content. YAY! He really needed to be an "only" cat, I think. They had two dogs but he was the only cat.
