Woman Brings Home Stray Ginger Cat - And Her Other Cat Fall Deeply In Love | The Dodo

[@juliat8941]

Great example of how to properly introduce cats. People tend to rush and underestimate the importance of the process. I foster lots of kittens and keep them completely separate for 2-3 weeks depending on the age. My own cats play under the doors and over time get the scent of the kittens. So when introduced face to face, it’s like they already know one another. ❤️

[@redbloodedbutterfly]

Thank you for fostering!

[@indigowolf556]

Exactly they just throw two animals together and hope they will be friends when it actually creates stress..

[@cyrollan]

I had the best boy I've ever met (RIP Caesar) and he was the guy who would show new cats around the house and make them feel welcome. Things like that just made him the absolute best.

[@JasikaChannel]

Such a great example!

[@cybercat29]

​@@cyrollanPlease accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your dear sweet Caesar 😭 😿 💔

[@linda6987]

Orange tabby females are rare. You picked a winner. There are no coincidences! Thank you for the rescue! 🐾🧡🐾

[@lindas343]

You're 💯 correct, they are usually male

[@Kalyahna]

They can be very rare in some places, yes, but they're quite common in my neck of the woods. I adopted two from a shelter (who had come from a farm), and when I worked in rescue years later - hours away from the first shelter - we still saw quite a lot of them.

[@joeypilotte5864]

We had a female orange kitty, her name was Tangerine, we miss her so much.

[@lisabelle7553]

Perfect example of how to introduce new kitties! What a beautiful story of love and rescue.

[@unabashed]

Not really. They kept her isolated way too long, it was totally unnecessary to deprive her of more love and company for that long. Two weeks in a garage and then three weeks in a room alone...there is no justification for that unless she was heavily symptomatic for an illness and required treatment, which she clearly wasn't. I really hate when people do this.

[@jjvalenta526]

It sounds like ehy kept her in the garage initially until they could get her a vet appointment before bringing her inside for a bit longer to finish off treatment. I handed off a kitten my step sister found to a foster friend about a month ago and unfortunately he still has ringworm even with consistant treatment. We don't know what Nala may have had that could have put her in isolation but I'm sure they didn't do it on purpose to keep her away. It's natural and honestly better to be safe than sorry. Ringworm, FIP, FeLV is really infectious and FeLV is particularly nasty and has a night death rate

[@tillygruber9003]

@@unabashed agree, it was cruel!

[@costumegirl103]

I will NEVER, NEVER, EVER understand why some people don't like cats!!! Cats changed my life!!! One walked into my life, just like this little girl did, and 10 years later I'm in Kenya working with Cheetah conservationists!!! Literally just one stray cat, that I named Jack, and he changed my life forever. Cats are extraordinary, intelligent, and it is so funny how they all do so many of the same things. From the domestic house cat to the majestic male lions of the Masai Mara and the Serengeti!!! CATS RULE 🤘🏻🐆🐯🐾🦁

[@Oscarcat2212]

I found a little 100g, 3 week old, Orange female kitten 1 year ago. Cloe is now 2.3kgs and the most playful, demanding, loving cat. I am blessed to have her in my life ❤

[@leester9487]

She did such a good job introducing them. ❣

[@hanscheong2676]

THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOO ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!

[@latenightlosers420]

Idk if you know this but female orange cats are extremely rare so you also got a gem 💎❤️

[@allanwheeler]

I didn't actually know that.... I had a grey female tabby about 15 years ago that just vanished one day.... She was a very happy cat and I miss her to this day.... I always had a feeling that someone drove by the front of my house and snatched her off of my porch... Then I would think to myself; "Who tf would steal a cat? And for what reason?".... Now that I've read your post I think it all makes sense.....

[@mypersonal8283]

Are they really ive had like 2 of em tabby means they have a M marking on their forehead right ?

[@janemiettinen5176]

You must mean yellow tabbies or yellow girls in general, right? The yellow gene resides in the male chromosome, thats why orange cats are usually boys. Other colors are regularly female and not rare. Except torties are usually always female, male torties are very rare.

[@CarpeDiem-ww2fk]

I have met and spayed some of female tabby in my neighborhood that i found.

[@keithhowell3023]

Ginger female tabbys are rare not the normal gray or jet black ones I belive the Ginger gene is on the x chromosome and females require both of their X's to have Ginger but the Males only on the X and not the Y

[@Melodyswackylife]

I just had a ginger girl show up to my house 6 days ago she is so sweet we connected right away

[@InfiniteTriztan1111]

A ginger girl is very special, orange tabby cats are rare 💛

[@Gaookami]

Diggle is smitten with the kitten 😁 I applaud the steps that the woman took to slowly acclimate and introduce the newest addition of the family. One if not the best way she could have done it, which shows her experience and care for her pets.

[@bluepurple1971]

Gingers have a deep place in my soul. We had one name niña.. she was my mother's cat she was extremely loyal to my mother. All of my other cats adore her. My brother found her at 3 weeks old. . What a great way to introduce them. Thank you for saving her.

[@candidaprout560]

Thanks very much for saving this sweet cat 😺❤

[@erinward2983]

What a beautiful story. I have a beautiful creature of a cat that came from outside. He knew he needed help and came to me in no time. I took him in, Mr. Marley. He is my best friend and I just adore him.

What a beautiful story of the little kitten and her forever family. Digge, and Nala are adorable together.

[@ischiltz]

Wow you did the introduction pretty well! I’m impressed by your patience to keep her separate for 2 to 3 weeks! That definitely paid off!

[@Linnapple]

OMG! Both are so beautiful. Thanks a ton for making the decision to adopt her. You are a beautiful person too!😊

[@dm5319]

Bravo for giving this wonderful young cat a real home. Just an FYI for all of us out there who try to do this kind of thing ... I have had great results using a cheap screen door, ($35 or so from a big box store,) propped up in a doorframe, hallway or stairwell. It allows them to see and smell each other without the risk of injury. A few days of that has gone a long way for me in the past introducing newbies to the clan.

I lost one of my two boys this past year, but i will look for another one at the shelter for my last lonely Tux boy, wish me lucks, and she is very gorgeous. 🥰😹😻

[@maryzambrana7141]

Lady, your comments in this video are so rich and loving. Diggle is like, "oh Mom, you brought me a sister! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" A smitten kitten indeed. Love and licks to you all 😊

[@o.b.6103]

I have had 2 orange tabbies, and they are the sweetest boys!

[@CharlotteIssyvoo]

I had a very cranky, 15 year old cat. We introduced our two new kittens to him just the way she did in this video, except that, when we first let him see them, we kept them behind a mesh for a few day. As soon as he saw the little girl kitten, he gazed at her just like here. There was love in his eyes, yes, but, even more than that, he found her really *interesting*. He knew a few months before we did that she was the most interesting, adventurous, weird, intelligent, brave cat we'd ever meet. He adored her, and let her slow motion chase him all over the house (he was too old for anything but slow motion).

[@yasip9897]

You got yourself an orange female tabby. They’re rare. Indeed, you found his soulmate. 💕

[@Shaggy_Vibin]

That cat reminds me of my old cat which was a female tabby that looked like she was still a kitten but an adult, so that fact I was recommended with this video shows I miss her.

[@KA-eu9sy]

[@nicolevahai5982]

Beautifully told and well recorded- she is the perfect match for your family! Happy for everyone. My two dogs love each other so easily - two females. One is much younger and I was surprised they pol to one another so well and the older one doesn’t ever snap at her or get jealous- which she isn’t tolerating to any other dog near as much.

[@carolineclynes1]

I have 2 gingers girls, both from rescue/animal shelters. I took 4+ weeks to slowly and gently introduce them, as rescue animals often have history or trauma. They are opposite personalities (scaredy cat & energetic bengal) but they love and care for each other. They sleep together like the yin and yang simple. Love them dearly! Bless you for saving the precious kitty.

[@yc0995]

What a cute little lady, she fits right in the family

[@amandaf4720]

Diggle's like "finally, someone I can share this braincell with!" The way he brought his toys to her and played with her under the door was too cute. He's so gentle with her, like a big brother with his little sister. What a precious pair of cats.

[@GoddessofLove77]

❤❤ melted my heart

[@shalacarter6658]

In the meantime, her grey tabby is wondering, "Hey, am I chopped liver?" ;)

[@anniekinsmishkamouse7575]

I honestly believe that cats understand being found by their chosen person when it happens. It is highly possible she smelled the other cat and fell in love with both. The Cat Distribution Center works in some mysterious ways.

This is how it went with my current two kitties, too. My boy cat sat outside for weeks just waiting to meet her. He'd roll around and peek under the door. Never once was there a hiss or a growl on either side. When they finally met, it was the same way. They love each other. He can be a bit rough in his play, and she's super dramatic all the time, but they're wonderful together. I'm glad Diggle has his match.
