Great video, I've always had Cat's but my Cat is so unhappy.😢❤️‍🩹 I'm quite unwell & in bed alot. He's indoor Cat. He never purrs (only occasionally when he gets treats) He sleeps above my head on a pillow or on top of my feet over covers. I think he does this to know exactly when I move. I feed him too much, buy him treats, toys etc. He had a Cat fountain but started to knock it over ON PURPOSE! & it's electric so had to unplug it. I leave 4 places of fresh water but he hasn't been drinking it, but always trys to get a my water at my bedside! He got so constipated he pooped on my prayer mat! 😢 I feel selfish for getting him but I can't let him go! He's always been very insecure & he wouldn't cope. I love him so much but I don't no what to do can ANYONE HELP US PLEASE?! 😢❤️‍🩹

This video taught me that as long as I avoid treating my cats the way my mom treated us kids growing up, then I'm good! All I need to do is acknowledge that they have a love language specific to their species psychology and to pay attention to it, listen to their needs as they learn to ways communicate them to me, and respect them as individual beings that operate much differently than myself! Pleased to say that our cats very undoubtedly love us! They even flop over to demand a belly rub when they see myself or my husband enter the room.

DOGS have MASTERS... CATS HAVE STAFF!!!

[@michaelfritts6249]

No. Dog's have a pack... They can have a very hard time when treated as an outcast. Domestic cats are somewhere between "pride" and "solitary".. They accept and return the companionship on a reciprocal basis. A dog will seek to appease a harsh "alpha" A cat will leave a harsh companion if given the opportunity.. Their "instincts" are much more in tune with the behavior of humans... Love both.. Sadly dogs will attempt to "do better".. Thankfully, cats will leave if the opportunity arises because the human is a "fail".. Be Well!! 😃

I also have a feral cat, who, for being as skittish as she is from what I could tell was a hard life; she is extremely sweet, loving, and bonded to me. But I think she will always be on ‘high alert’ for what she perceives as threats; this video was very helpful in reminding me of little things to bear in mind with her. My other cat is very laid back and has accepted her into the household, that makes me very relieved as I want her to ‘get away’ from that miserable first 3 months of her life. She has several areas that are her zones, I’ve had her a year now and she has gotten comfortable with my cat and two small dogs! So I’d say she’s overcome a lot right there. We love her very much!

I have a feral cat and as you can imagine the do's and don'ts are very different. I got him from the local rescue when he was 3 mos and thought he was just a regular cat. He came directly from their little cage to my home, (kitchen-food) up in the high Southwest mountains, so he never got a chance to become "feral feral". After a yr I concluded he was very different and thought well he was a mountain cat. That didn't feel right and when he was 3 I looked up feral in wiki and the definition was exactly him. He has always slept with me, walks on my head in the morning, talks to me all day. He loves me, I love him, the house is as much his as it is mine, but he is special, he is an empath, he understands when I talk to him, often he's like a people. His DNA won't let him do somethings and makes him do other things. For the first time in 4 yrs he came and sat in my lap and stayed, is the ultimate hunter

My cat knows the word "NO!" There's no need to discipline or squirt him. A simple no discourages him from undesirable behavior. My cat and I meow at each other all the time. He meows at me, then I meow at him, then he meows back at me. I often think when he meows back, he's correcting the grammar in my meow. When we play with the laser light, I didn't know about giving him a treat at the end, but I do pet him abundantly and tell him what a good hunter he is. All the other things in the video are well taken care of. I have a band and we rehearse in our living room, but when the other members show up he knows to run and hide under the bed (which is on the other side of the house). That's the same place he goes when there is a thunderstorm. When I come home, he always comes to meet me and wants his pets and a treat! He's so good and very well adjusted. He is my best buddy! He's getting old and I don't know if I'll ever be able to recover when he's gone. That's the thing I hate about pets. I want them to live forever!

Great video! A tip. When I adopted a cat for someone, I put him in the a room he would be in a lot but not a huge area. I put his litter box food, water and the things that were considered his. I did this in the smallest room I could that was not a bathroom. I then left for several hours. I gave him time to know he was safe and gave him time to study his environment so he would feel safe. When I came home I went into that room and closed the door. I played a video that was not loud as far as violent but soothing. I made zero effort to seek him out but let him make that decision. Within hours that cat was purring after having lost his safe spot.

I never gave thought to cats having deep emotions, until twice, my 10 year old cat became suddenly, well, almost dead. The first time, I was having a bad day, and I pushed him off of his favorite spot: cuddled up next to me on the couch. I was mad at something else, and didn't realize what I had done until I found him the next day, hiding behind a door. He was alive, but %95 unresponsive. He sat awkwardly on the floor half standing, half sitting, gazing into the abyss, saliva around his mouth. It took hours of love and apologies for him to begin to respond to stimulus, and a full day before he walked, ate food, and drank water. He made a full recovery. The first time it happened, I didn't get it. I though he ate something poisonous. The second time I caused it, I got it, and I've never pushed him away while angry at something stupid since. I'm %1000 more loving and understanding to him now, and he's forgiven me. Who's the bigger man?

1:07 For myself, the best tip I got from this video is the one about the laser pointer. #8: 'Disregarding Their Hunting Instincts!'. I've used it with all my feline babies over the many years I've owned cats, but I never even considered that without some kind of reward after play, that they might be MORE tense AND frustrated because their hunting instincts were not completely satisfied -- but the logic is so simple and makes complete sense. This may also explain why my cat will often quickly become bored with the laser pointer -- this has always puzzled me. Your insight is much appreciated! I definitely will keep this tip in mind the next time I use the laser pointer. Thank you!

Thanks, your information is right-on, having lived with cats for seven decades, always with deep attachments. One thing I can't understand is having a litter box (except for inclement weather).

Yours vids are amazing! I can’t wait for when I can get my own cat, and now I’m going to use your videos to learn. Please keep making more ! 🐱

I'm glad you enjoy my videos! 😸💜

My 3 cats either greet me when I walk into the house or when I sit down. Their favorite hunting toy is a fish on a stick, and they play with by themselves sometimes. All three cats like their heads, necks, backs, and butts scratched and their butts patted. The female doesn't mind her belly rubbed. My cats find new spots to sleep in all of the time. I might scratch a head as I walk by but don't really bother them when they are relaxing. I yell "no" if they are doing something I don't want them to do, other than that, I don't punish them because they see punishment as being abused. If one of my cats meows, it gets petted. I have one that meows about every half hour wanting attention. Sometimes, he meows from another room, and I yell "what' and he comes running to me. While getting attention, the males sometimes lick my knees and rub their faces on me to mark me. I don't get much company, but I had a salesman at the front door the other day and a couple of the cats were there wanting to know who I was talking to. The cleaning solutions and air fresheners i use don't seem to bother my cats. I don't get any alone time when I am home. Whether I am cooking, washing dishes, doing laundry, showering, using the toilet, brushing my teeth, on the computer, watching TV, or scooping their poop and flushing it down the toilet, one or all three cats are with me. Whichever male cat lies down on the bed first, sleeps with me at night. I have three cats that love attention and get a lot of it.

I read a book. Buddhism for Pet Lovers, 4 years ago i turned off TV until 7 at night, I started meditating before bed and she started sitting near me, now she sits on my belly in the morning, I have hearing problems, I knew they had better hearing, but I didn't realize how loud tv was, I started wearing hearing aids the VA provided with a bluetooth device so no loud sound, I am told that if she has tail up in air, and constantly laying with her belly exposed meant she feels secure, every christmas I play a video of Amazing Grace w/bagpipes, she loves it. Only music she likes, rewarding after the red dot is new,mi will try it, I call Baby my guru because I learn so much from her. She is my last kitty, had her since she was 3 weeks 🙏🙏🙏

[@jdgirl931]

One time I was crying bc one of my cats drowned in our pool and our other cat came over and comforted me

[@TheCuriousCatt]

They are amazing! 💜

[@adamfrank4192]

My cat Yossi is frankly the best friend I ever had. He is a real source of happiness and balance. My greatest joy is to see him happy and excited when playing before eating after chasing away birds or when curled up sleeping on my lap which he does every evening for an hour or so. I am autistic and have problems sometimes but he seems to understand them and often tries to comfort me.

[@abefehr6155]

My oldest cat is 23 years old and I've learned all the advice you've given over the years I have three now and have a happy home to come home to

[@LindaSanders-md8lx]

I have 7 fuzzy children and love each one of them

[@KylieMacdonald-d1n]

I have a female cat and we are extremely close. I've always respected her needs with the upmost respect. I never punish, I always just try solving the problem myself for them. So I'm quite happy the way me and my cats relationship are at. Love and respect your cats people!!❤😻

I have a mental health issue and I have mostly had female cats to help me with my mental health issues but they have died and now I have a male cat who loves to play with me and jump in to my arms in the morning before breakfast and likes rubbing his head against my legs 😊

[@edie4321]

I find males to be more affectionate. My females, not as much.

[@dianaostroff7844]

Excellent video in understanding cats and their behavior. Human owners bear the responsibility of owning and changing behaviors which do not support their pets. Thank you for this information.

[@TheCuriousCatt]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😸💜

[@gailburkett9702]

A word about the litter box substrate. I've changed to wood pellet bedding from the feed store. BEST THING I'VE EVER DONE. Nine dollars for a forty pound bag. Smells better. Easier to use. Cats like it. Doesn't track dust.

[@itsmeowornever.8143]

Just don't get the pine, it's not good for them as pine is toxic for them. Some people say it doesn't matter, but why would you experiment with your cats?

[@MyButtercup]

@@itsmeowornever.8143 Pine pellets are heated releasing the toxic phenol found in pine.

I tried this and it smells horrible! Doesn’t help the litter box smell at all…is this normal?

My cat likes heavy metal rock and roll Eddie Van Halen's guitar

Most definitely having a cat makes my days better

I think I’m doing everything right from your video. Some people are part kitty like I always say I am! Great video!

[@alexispeyton649]

I run a cat rescue, currently with 19 cats living in my house. I have never had a single problem adding another cat into the rescue, an amount of hissing and tussling for hierarchy is normal. Cats also don't only speak because they are saying hello or need your help. Often they have caught a toy in some way that they feel was worthy of note and want praise for it. This happens to me with several of mine, they will meow for hours if you ignore them. But if you give then a little praise over their catly actions they quiet right down.

I have an indoor Cat. I rescued her. She is about 5 year, she is very reserved with strangers. She great me when I come back home. I always interact with her. Thank you for your information. I never had any problem with cat litter that have a scented.

[@shelteredsparrow2736]

Great advice. A tip Cats can’t stand the pet carrier as necessary as it is to do things like take them to the vet. I figured out where my cat would go when he was really scared. That is where I stored his carrier. I would find him sleeping in it.

[@colleenloucks]

Great idea!

1:27 - you said "guardian", not "owner". I approve.

[@barbarasaefke8323]

[@kerrymotiejaitis7929]

Our cats favorite places to call their own are our bed and our favorite seats in the living room. I think they are keeping our spots warm for us.

[@kellismith4329]

It really takes a chunk of your soul when you lose them 😢

[@beckymcgown]

It's true 😢

[@hopesarver7153]

This is great info. I do agree with Jackson Galaxy about the “unders” like under the bed or even very high spots. If they can get somewhere that they would hide and you can’t access them in an emergency, that can put them at increased danger. I hadn’t thought of that before.

[@TheCuriousCatt]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😄🧡

[@landism27]

I don’t believe in yelling or pushing a cat away. But I also don’t believe in rewarding ( giving them something to distract) them when they lay on things that you are doing/working on. But….that is what I do! I reward them with laughter hugs and kisses! I give them the attention they are looking for.

People with allergies 💀

[@Bandwidth24]

@merlinbotha363If allergic, It helps to keep the cat hair combed and not sleep on the bed next to your face to reduce dander.

i foster 5, and an immediate premptive, and solid clear NO, fallowed by a squirt if they persist, is the only 'discipline' they have known(no point is 'discplining' them for what they already forgot). though deliberate temporary shunning can be very effective for certain violations. and thank you for codifying it all so well...
