My Younger Cats' Surprising Reaction to My Old Cat's Sickness

[@kunn_]

You're an amazing cat owner for noticing right away that something must be wrong with Santi just by his tail/body language. So happy he's feeling much better now!

[@PaulTC97]

yeah cause usually cats hide their illness as a way to not appear weak to other predator's eyes

[@lindafunicello3574]

@@kunn_ yes, he is the best!!

[@Spikypotato.]

I agree, I recently saw a vet post how a kitty had terrible ingrown claws😣😣😰 people in the comments were upset with that cats owner, but the vet said owner was devistated- she simply didn’t know. Appearently it is not unusual that people don’t know such a basic thing, it is such a shame😔

[@urilevi9034]

We need more people like you! 😻

[@mammamiamikamoby]

People who don't notice such things should not be allowed to have pets.

Chewie and Indy experiencing a horror movie, while Santi's experiencing some much needed alone time 😂

[@dianebusby7047]

Yep - that section was hilarious!

[@AnimalisMD]

Poor Santi.. TWO trips to the Vet, but he handled it like a Champ!

[@Survivin2Thrivin]

Santi is SO GORGEOUS despite his age & illness!

[@mariag.8242]

He’s a very well cared for indoor kitty so 13 is middle age ❤

[@lapsedluddite3381]

He is indeed! Very well loved and cared for - lucky cat! (Of course he is an internet star, and celebrities get the best of everything... ☺️)

[@mikec3756]

He's a very impressive looking cat, no doubt.

[@SEJ3333]

Awww... I've always loved Santi! My favorite of the indoor kitties! D'artegnan is my favorite of the outdoor kitties. That said, I love all of your kitties and appreciate how well they're all cared for!

[@lemuret69]

Poor little Santi, he's been through a lot. So glad he's recovered, thanks to you and your vet. You seem to have wonderful veterinary care.

[@handebarlas6248]

Exactly.

[@richardb6260]

My cat lived 20 years. Aside from an abscess on his chin that the vet had to treat, he was pretty healthy until up until his last month. Santi looks like he's getting the best healthcare possible. I hope he has many more years with his tail held high.

[@sylviekins]

Yes!❤❤❤

[@vickiel1284]

When I had 2 cats, the one staying home hissed at the one returning from the vet because they smelled 'funny'

[@yt650]

My son has two cats at his home and that is exactly what happens when he returns after one has been to the vet. We have three cats at work that are free to roam around the building, and when you bring one of them back from the vets from their ordinary visit, the rest of them are standoffish and sometimes hiss. I think it’s cat language for you smell funny.

[@norasmith8699]

Post-vet non-recognition. One of mine has it pretty bad. He fights whenever a vet visit is involved: if he goes, if another cat goes, or even if they all go together 🙄 Fortunately it only lasts a few hours, for us.

[@rosemarygaeta8205]

That's funny but a good idea.​@@norasmith8699

Santi lying on the steps with his paw over the bannister was the cutest pic. He is beautiful. I'm so happy he is better.

[@deniseadkins2901]

I have always said that Indy has the most expressive eyes.

[@jillhopper5614]

Santi is a star of course. I've always loved Indy since watching his amazing antics on the stairs, rushing around, he's one of my favourites - don't tell the others!!! 😄🐱🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️ Not forgetting sweet Walter too 🐕🤗❤

He really is, I was just watching the first videos on the channel - where Santi and Walter are playing "catch me" and Santi won easily 😺💖

[@Mountlougallops]

The handmaid's Tail bonnet reference was too cute!

[@NancyRode-u9i]

😂👌

[@NKelly-yc1wt]

At this point Santi’s just showing off - running so fast up the stairs past his younger brothers. Im glad he’s better!! 😊

[@susandelello7401]

I was so relieved when I saw Santi’s tail up. I didn't realize how well the joint supplements work. So glad he's feeling back to his old Top Cat self.❤️🐱

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Joint supplements are a godsend, they helped my elderly GSD with her hip dysplasia, she was able to walk comfortably again.

[@mariaperez-i9n]

Such a distinguished gentleman.

[@SCFLEUR]

Oh my. The cone, the bandaged foot then the tail. Santi was in a bad way. But he made it through. 😊

[@tootz1950]

Poor baby, you are a great dad.

[@A_Ereira]

Chewie couldn't make heads or tails out of what he was witnessing lol. He was so confused.

[@pfkat9749]

Poor Santi. So glad he is better now. You are such a good Daddy for all your babies! 💖

[@kimberlycarico4748]

[@glenagarrett4704]

So glad there was nothing that couldn't be easily addressed by the vet. I was a bit anxious seeing the title.

[@matthewcaughey8898]

I’m glad the old guy is doing better. I’ve got an older cat myself ( he’s 11) and I’ve been watching for issues like this. Thanks for the help from someone trying to right by his old buddy

[@ruadhscottygirl2480]

11 isn’t old at all. All of mine live to 20-22. I’ve had seven over the years.

[@lapsedluddite3381]

You must be a very good pet parent, your cats are lucky to have you!

[@kayfurlano1462]

Just those little nuances that you see as different is so important for pet owners to pay attention to as he doesn’t have to be in pain. 👏

He is always such a proper little gentleman. The collar and wrapped paw stung his pride at first. So sad for his pain and glad he feels better with all your love and care.

[@us1fedvet]

Santi is such a good gentleman. He’s a bit of a curmudgeon at times but he has a good heart. Indy and Chewie are just the best little kitties. They keep Santi on his toes! Good that he, and they, are happy again!!!

[@sleepinglioness5754]

Chewie: 'did he go to another planet and come back as a.......cone head???' The look he gave you from the top of the stairs...was not a look of love! My heart sank when you said he was in trouble. So, so, so grateful Santi is doing so well now. Biggggg smooches to darling Santi....😘💋😘....though he probably doesn't like kisses😂

[@Smellycat1990]

I'm glad Santi is feeling better. My family's elderly cat gets one squirt of salmon oil on his food every day (cheap bottles can be found online). He's still very active and I think this might by the reason.

[@gaileverett]

Santi adapted to the cone quite well! Except at the beginning when he was thinking how shocking it was to have his owner torture him so. That was before he realized the benefit of being left alone. Also, the photobombs by Indy were hysterical. As always, your video made me smile. Thank you!

[@ms2189]

Happy you are all well now Santi! That cone was a blessing and a curse; it made it hard to groom and eat, but it kept your little brothers from bothering you!😅

[@lisag.6599]

Santi is so like our dearest Dolly, may she rest in peace forever. I'm so glad Santi is better! The joint supplements are a great idea, and now he can run fast to get away from the other two. :D

Ol Santi boy, it's tough getting older! We love you

[@alkante2962]

The way we treat animals around their physical illness is also very important. They have to keep their place and rank. And if they were to be bullied or bothered by other fellow animals we, as owners, have to stand up and prevent it.
