Two Cats Hated Everyone - Until They Fell In Love | Cuddle Buddies

[@LCLW63]

Bodhi's mom has the patience of a saint! This poor cat how traumatized he must of been. Almost a year & look what love & kindness will do. And then there is MERV!!!!! OMG she is hilarious, totally love Siamese cats. My last one passed in 2019 & I had her for 19yrs. She was/is my soul kitty.

[@living9377]

Merv needs those talking buttons. That cat has a lot on his mind. If they are trained you will learn a lot of this cat.

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Absolutely! 🐾😂 Merv would definitely have a lot to say! Those buttons could unlock a whole new level of entertainment! 🐱💬

[@janetmarshall7171]

Cats Are finicky like that!! It takes time for some of them to come a, but Bodhi And Merv are 2 that was going to have A LOT OF WORK!! But with the kindness of people?? It changed these 2 Cuddle Buddies FOREVER!! What A Purr-fect Story!!

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Exactly! 🐾❤️ It’s amazing how kindness and patience can transform their lives. Bodhi and Merv are such a heartwarming example of that! 🐱💕

[@lisabelle7553]

I remember the news article about the poor kitty left in a bodega and was crying in the window at everyone passing by. I wonder if that's the same boy. Grateful that she adopted him as he went through a horrible time. So sweet to see him coming around to affection. And Merv is just a riot.

[@PamW-r5t]

God bless you for stepping up and helping him. I just went through that experience. It took almost 3 years for him to come around and let others pet him besides my husband and I but they do come around. I have 3 that were feral that I have rescued. It’s heart warming when their little personalities start coming out❤

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Thank you for sharing your experience! ❤️ It’s truly rewarding to see their personalities blossom. Every bit of patience pays off! 🐾💖

[@Gaius__]

Merv is hilarious, I love cats like him so much ... some extra work, but 24/7 entertainment in return. And poor Bodhi must have been terrified and feeling very abandoned, being locked in a deserted bodega for some days ... no wonder he took a long time to warm up.

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Absolutely! Merv's antics are priceless, and Bodhi's journey shows just how much love can change a cat's life. 🐾❤️ Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

“It’s better to love than not.” a great philosophy! Thanks for this video!

[@docsavage8640]

What you're calling "aggressive " is quite the opposite: it's DEFENSIVE out of feae

[@Tsumami__]

It’s still called aggression regardless of the animal’s motivation.

[@janetdear6429]

🤧 aww they are both so gorgeous,bless you for saving them and giving them terrific forever home's. Love the chatty Merv. Cracking good video thanks for sharing 🖤😎👍

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Thank you so much! 🖤🐾 Merv's chatter is the best! We're glad you enjoyed the video! 😄

[@mistygeller3193]

Merv’s dad totally missed his calling as a stand up comedian 😂😂😂 He absolutely cracks me up! I bet his kids adore him! And Merv is his partner in crime 😜 And Bodega kitty has the most patient mom ever 🥰❤️❤️ My sister had a bit of a hard time living with my 2 boys when I had to go out of state for work because I had allowed them to just be themselves, no rules. And it made for some very entertaining stories when I moved back 6 weeks later. Everyone was appreciative of being back in their appointed pecking order 😂😂

[@felinegroovey8627]

Pretty sure Merv's dad is an actor who may also do stand-up.

[@CuddleBuddiesChannel]

Haha, that sounds like quite the adventure! 😂 Merv really is a comedian, and it’s great to hear your boys brought so much laughter too! 🐾❤️ Thanks for sharing your story!

[@Tina-qp7py]

I agree. The narration is really funny. He should be doing professional work as aa comedian. Can't Kimmel or Fallon see this?

[@taliabeaumont1617]

I selectively work with feral cats and they all can be socialized. I have a formula it works every time. They all want love.

[@andromedaspark2241]

You got it. Secure in food, shelter and a calm human/animal presence in the household is most of feeling happy for anyone.

[@lindaburger2695]

I love Merv. I can watch her video over and over.

[@monkeytail1968]

I adopted two feral 5 month old kitten siblings 7 years ago. It took a while for them to show any affection at all, they were so skittish from lord knows what happened to them before I got them. And now? My boy follows me everywhere and his sister sleeps with me every night.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

Awwww...❤️❤️

[@juneyshu6197]

Siamese do talk, theyre interesting.

[@tashie6288]

Merv needs another Siamese kitten friend. They are extremely smart and social cats.

[@paulccrimmins]

Merv drank too many chemicals.

[@debbralehrman5957]

I'm glad that mostly due to social media people are realizing so called feral cats are able to become house cats. I will agree not true of every single outside cat. But more cats are in homes now with families than there use to be. Thanks for the video. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

[@TheMimiSard]

I have the impression adult cats can be socialised, but it takes a lot more time than working with kittens.

[@guangxidavidliu]

It is much easier to love a cat than love a human.

[@Bluebird-77]

Why would you try to pet him with the toilet brush? Seriously, if someone tried to put a disgusting toilet brush in your face, how would you react? SMH

[@Tsumami__]

Probably because he was already responding with aggression

[@Bluebird-77]

@Tsumami__ No, you don't pet an animal with a dirty toilet brush even if it's aggressive. It only makes them more aggressive. If she doesn't know that then maybe she shouldn't have pets.

[@mleazenb09]

How do you know it was dirty?

[@alliezoidzlocktagon]

Duh. You really think it was freaking dirty? Using something like that is a great way to socialize cats.

Lady, you don’t pet a cat, who’s eating. Especially one, who’s frightened and distrustful.

Merv wants her husband dead. I understand, Merv.

[@patroesner2751]

Your feeding him by a toilet and even tried to "pet" him with the toilet scrubbing brush...

[@connieh9581]

I’m going to take a wild guess and say it was a clean one.

[@patroesner2751]

Wild. A clean toilet scrubbing brush. That was in the bathroom. Yea. You're right. They probably have six in there with the Walrus.

[@ThisUnderWorldOfDarkness]

Putting the cat's bed next to the toilet and using the toilet scrub brush on the cat is just plain gross. Some people should not be allowed around animals.

[@judithgarcia5137]

I’m kind of confused as to why you would put his food bowl right beside his toilet? You would never do this to yourself so why are you doing it to your cat?🤬

The bathroom was temporary, when you first bring in a cat, you give them a small space to feel safe in before you open the whole house to them.

[@TheBOG3]

They tell you to never put cat food close to the litter box, let alone right next to it. It wasn’t even cleaned out. Gross!

[@DELLRS2012]

Sometimes you just got to do what you can and prioritize. The litter box was a little yuck but it sounds like they had a lot going On between both cats.

[@dianemoonstone4715]

Initially, You don't have any control over traumatized cats. They're hissing, spitting, scratching, growling and in fighting mode. You have to be very patient with them and wait them out to hopefully learn to trust you. They like to eat without anyone watching. They feel vulnerable if they're bending down to eat and their backs are turned and cannot watch you and their surroundings. It's all cat controlled in the beginning until they learn that they're safe with you.
