I am a cat lover but...I have never disliked a Dodo video until this one. If your cat has all these socialization problems, why are you letting her hurt and terrorize people. Maybe you should give her to your dad. He seems to be her happy place.

[@Danideesaintp123]

This cat needs a veterinarian and a behaviorist. The cat is terrified….. the dodo sharing this is insane. This animal is not happy, and clearly the entire house is suffering. There’s nothing funny about this video, and I’m not one of those Karen people, I just work with cats (RVT) and this cat has some serious fear based social issues.

[@giantfactory]

Seriously, this isn't normal or adorable. She keeps letting people on the street get within range of her claws. I've seen cats like this on other programs that have improved with behavioral specialists, so this isn't a lost cause and shouldn't be accepted as that's just how it is.

[@lktzu2821]

I can't believe the people in the comments who think this is cute. That cat is physically hurting even the owner. Instead of getting it some help, the owner thinks it's funny and cute. People like these are why pet owners get a bad rep.

What are you talking about? The cat has a nasty disposition toward everyone except the dad, and it's NOT because those other humans or miscellaneous animals on the street have aggravated the intolerant cat. It's like a b---h diva cat.

[@surfwriter8461]

@@Fueunachimba How is approaching the cat, trying to pet her or just being nearby her a matter of "annoying" her? That makes no sense. When she sees another cat on the street, she goes out of her way to stalk, hiss and attack the other animal. That's annoying on the part of the nasty cat, not others. I recommend the owner give her to the dad or else just stop showing any interest until the cranky cat decides to behave decently.

[@rkvktmen]

Lets her cat approach a lady knowing that it will swipe out at her: "Oh, I'm soooo sorry..." Lets her cat approach a dog knowing it will swipe out at it: "Oh, I'm soooo sorry..." Lets children near her car knowing it will swipe at them: "Oh, I'm soooo sorry..." And over, and over again

She thinks it’s a laughing matter, her cat is clearly unhappy and she’s not doing anything about it. “I love my cat even if she doesn’t love me back,” the fact she’s gonna keep the cat with her just makes the cat even more unhappy. It’s disappointing to see her still own this cat.

Isn't what the owner is doing pretty damn sad? Putting the cat in stressful situations just to get a rise out of her for internet fame.

[@mariolover64]

Update: Okay so looking at this persons account, they got a kitten when they thought itd be safe to introduce them, and Nanoos hurt them so bad that they gave the kitten up. That isn't a big enough warning sign?? They also admit "it's funny having a cat that hates you", and they constantly invade the cats space, openly saying they know it annoys her because she "loves her so much and cant resist" This cat seriously is not happy. They ignore what everyone is saying but this is abuse to the cat. It isn't gonna have a happy life like this. (Also their most recent video is the child getting attacked by the cat, I don't get how they don't see that as a giant sign they should look into the cat's behavior).

[@keelalewis629]

That is very upsetting. Like having a "hateful cat" as a pet is a quirk.

[@ShyVioletIsShy]

More like they get money for views… 😒

[@anibodhi11.11]

lifting the cat, taking her off balance, turning her upside down, entering her space, movements and laughter are even percieved as threatening to her. the cat is trying her best to comnunicate with these people but they completely ignore her language. it is one of the most painful things for me to watch... like seeing a person beating an agressive acting dog or a child in public. especially when the animal/child is responding to the owner/parents aggitation and stress expressions. cues are taken from owner/parent on a biochemical level. so the one wishing to control the situation must stay calm if they sincerely wish to interact with this being differently. it is not always intentional evil, unfortunately, many of them do so, not intentionally in ignorance or out of habit because lack of fully understanding the other beings impetus or communication attempts.

the cat appears to be territorial and afraid of hands. She will growl and hiss as a warning to stay back. if you don't listen to her warning and show her your hands, she will try to attack. She is also very likely not fond of noise and high movement. She needs a calm and quiet place without people to relax. One major mistake I see happen over and over again, is people trying to approach her to apologise or try to befriend her. When She hisses, move back and walk away. let her come to you and prove to her you are no threat to her. When she does, offer food or treats to gain her trust over time. Try to play with her with cat toys but keep your distance. Over time, she will warm up to you and start trusting you.

some years ago I visited a friend with an older rescue cat. the cat "was grumpy" to everyone. After being there for an hour he jumped on my lap when I was checking email, and started rubbng my chin. Then it was "well the previous owner was clearly a man". Cats will like you less if you look straight at them, and go to pet them without being asked to or when unfamiliar. Ignore a cat (=leave him/her in peace) and see what happens.

[@brmbkl]

addendum; my own tomcat sit by the fireplace close to my desk and anytime I get up (frequently) to go to the kitchen, patio, anywhere... I have to walk past. I make it a habit of not petting him whether he's asleep or not, so he knows it's his relax space.

[@evancappe]

I adopted an older cat very much like this; it took several months to earn his trust, but he still hated everyone else. He was a big boy - 20+ pounds, and only slightly overweight - so he absolutely terrified everyone. When I was away for a week, he chased the cat-sitter out of my apartment. When I renovated my house, he intimidated and backed one of the workers into a corner, and wouldn't let him leave (the poor guy had to call me for help!). After I moved in with my wife, it took a year for the cat to stop trying to scratch her when she reached out to pet him. And, yet, when our son was born, that astonishingly mean old cat was a puddle of love from the first minute. He let my kid do anything to him. Tail-pulling, fur-messing, sitting on him, using him as a pillow. He let my son pick him up by the loose skin on his back, and carry him around like a purse without so much as a growl. Mean cats are, secretly, the best cats. You just have to be patient, and love them unflinchingly.

Strangers, we'd tell them not to try to touch him (no matter how much it looked like he wanted you to - it's a trap!). When children came over, we'd keep him in the basement. Sounds strange, but it was totally worth all that for how wonderful he was when it was just family - and for his unbreakable love for my son.

Yes, you should! The cat is clearly uncomfortable around you, you are just hurting the cat by trapping her with you. If she hates kids, stop bringing kids to her! The kid literally tried to throw something at the cat, no wonder she hates kids. She shows a liking to the dad. Either the dad should take the cat or maybe the cat would be more comfortable with other older men. TLDR; This cat is traumatised, and that's not funny, cute, or heart-warming.

Our oldest cat was like this for 10 years. He hated kids the most. One day he just snapped and started letting us pet and hold him. He still hates kids but no loner hisses.

[@Garnet-Darn-it]

This cat is stressed out. There is no "she secretly wants to be with us" or "deep inside she's grateful." She doesn't "hate joy and happiness." She is letting you know that she is stressed out. Stop putting things in front of her face, it's abusive at this point. She doesn't know what "I'm sorry" means. You can fix this, and if you actually love her, you will fix it.

[@Tent112]

Nothing about this is abusive but the owner should definitely seek out a trainer the cat seems to have trust issues which is causing it to be aggressive

[@EC-dz3fb]

@@Tent112 It IS abusive, actually. Neglect IS a form of abuse. She's neglecting to take seriously the cat's obvious unhappiness. I think you're spot-on about the trust! ♡

[@Garnet-Darn-it]

Please let me be clear. I don't think she has any malice, and she clearly thinks she's doing right by the cat. Abuse can occur unintentionally. It's entirely possible she had no experience with cats before this. I just hope this isn't a gimmick to get more TikTok followers.

[@rickseiden1]

Abuse or no, there is something wrong going on here. Cats should be happy, and that cat clearly is not. Something in that cat's environment is off and something needs to change. As someone pointed out, maybe a trainer could help. One thing that I find awful though is the way they let that cat go after everything on walks. A 12 pound cat does not pull you across the neighborhood to attack other cats. You let it lead you there. You don't tell someone, "He's a mean cat, so be careful," then let the cat swat at the person. You say, "I'm sorry, but he's a mean cat and he will swat you with claws. I can't let you pet him." It's great that she takes him on walks, since that seems to be his only true joy in life, but stop letting your cat attack everything that moves.

That kind of aggression is untypical of a cat. I really think they should watch my cat from hell and maybe even Jackson himself could give them a few pointers on how to deal with her aggression. I’ve had very skittish female cats eventually come out and say hello. The thing is you have to accept the cat’s terms for contact.

[@terrylopez5452]

Yes. Please contact Jackson Galaxy because you are endangering children, strangers and yourself with your cat’s antisocial behavior.

[@MiaHessMusic]

Jackson would say: Play with your cat, Play with your cat. Play. With. Your. Cat. She obviously needs a huge energy outlet that's controlled.

[@gailremp8389]

I think Jackson would tell her to let the dad love and help the cat and perhaps suggest she hold off on having children or another pet until she learns what it's like to be owned by a pet. You don't own them. Once they pick you as the target of their trust and love, you're doomed. And yes we have to set boundaries for the cats. Yes we are the actual alpha cat -- just don't tell them. They didn't get the email or that lesson @ cat college. But I have my spray bottle (I fondly call the bozo blaster and it works ).. One lady once said that I was abusing my cats because I sprayed them with water. I said well what do you do. She says I yell at them. And I just looked at her like OK how is yelling and screaming at a cat a better solution vs getting them a little wet & them clean themselves up (divert) and rethink if What they were doing & was it worth getting soaked over. Generally the answer is meow-hell-no. And then after a while if they wanna go back to the behavior (or they find a new one to get into that might kill them in the process by mistake), whatever I have in my hand at the time (pencil. pair of tongs, hair brush), They will laser focus on that item and think it is The evil invader and it's going to make them wet, they will turn around and leave. And if they're a little more feisty you might have to make the spray bottle noise. Just to convince them that a hairbrush really is a spray bottle. Ha ha. Bit no harm done. Sorry for ramble. But this girl is not respecting the cats territory. She thinks she can drag this cat everywhere around and that is how he is supposed to behave. Cause she expects the cat to act out. If I was the cat I'd slit her throat in her sleep. And then I would get sent to live with the dad. Hmmm..maybe that might be the solution to happiness. Ha ha. Everyone be safe. Peace. Blessings. Be kind. Be careful. We need you... use your creativity, curiosity and humor for good and as little evil as you possibly muster.

I look forward to the daily dodo videos for a positive reminder that people are good/altruistic and happy endings do exist. After watching a video where a woman is pushing the narrative that she is the martyr, willfully and stubbornly insisting a cat remain miserable for clout, is disturbing. She is willfully ignorant when she “helplessly” allows family, friends, neighbors and other animals to unknowingly walk into an unsafe situation. Instead of “passively” filming her cat (and others) from getting hurt, she ought to stop filming, and take real action: to keep all those safe and from being unnecessarily stressed. Put the phone away and stop “acting” altruistically for the camera and actually be altruistic. In addition, the logic that rehoming her cat, the cat will be “doomed”, is nonsense. Finding a home without children (or a happier/safer home) is absolutely feasible, we are the adults here right? Following her “logic” that we have a responsibility to little souls, we ought to protect them - Then are you trying to sell the story that a woman who is able manipulate us all for clout, can’t figure out how to leverage the public to find a happy home, to truly give this cat the best life ever? This video reminds me of the insidious nature of social media and the lengths people will go to for clout. Who needs the news when we have “feel good” videos like this.

[@Danideesaintp123]

You nailed it… lots of people calling other people snowflakes around here… this video doesn’t offend me, it concerns me. the dodo thought it was a good idea to post it for some reason, but all it shows is a terrified cat, and an owner that clearly is t willing to do the research or make the sacrifice to give it the best life possible. This cat is probably a one person quiet home no children cat. Obvious it has past trauma… this quickest most humane fix would be to let the dad take it. If that isnt an option, time to hit the books and find a real solution to make that cat more comfortable. Someone is going to get seriously injured at some point, and if that cat attacks someone outside of the family and they call animal control, that cat will be euthanized.

[@Paul_Wetor]

Maybe her granddad has a calming personality. We had cats growing up (one after the other, not at the same time) and they were all nice, but my father would take naps on the couch and the cat was his personal sleeping buddy. He'd lay on the couch with the cat stretched out next to him. When my father walked down the basement steps (which had a musical sound - plastic mats on wooden steps), they'd hear his footsteps and race him to the basement. Then they'd flop on the concrete floor for a backrub. He used to add a little pat by the tail that they liked.

Wonderful story, Gayle. Animals, like cats, are sentient beings and will behave lovingly or fearfully depending on how they've been treated from the start. Surviving in the rough outdoors requires aggression while a loving home would produce a different animal. You're doing a great, kind, wise act and when your cat realizes there is absolutely nothing to fear, she will purr for you and never stop. How did you get her to stop chasing the other cats? Outside, every other cat can be a source of aggressive danger & trusting again is not easy.
