[@ronaldmcdonaldsex-husband5624]

T-Zay They aren’t loyal. CAT brain scans and intensive research proves that. A lot of people can also test your claim that they are peaceful. They are in no way protective. Their biology and ancestry plays a major role. Most cats excluding lions hunt on their own. They even hunt each other. Cats are not naturally inclined to protect humans because it is not an instinctive trait of them.

[@montseservin1306]

Very loyal.

[@PrinceDuCiel7]

Merkel's Fourth Reich Eeeeh depends on the cat. I’m constantly amazed my one cat is as loyal as he is. He actually comes to me for help when sick.

[@dimasakbar7668]

whatsopanime Hello :), yes i am aware that some people will feel that way. May i know why you think that way? Personally i have seen people arguing against it due to pity (eg. Every cats deserve to breed), ethical (eg. It is unnatural, i pity em), excessive love or fear (eg. Then they will extinct). I love cats, my house take care of 28 unwanted cats, till now only 11 are adopted which leaves 17 for my family to care. We're not shelter but we cant left them to die In my experience, the outside world is very harsh, i have seen cats being killed (maliciously or whimsically), tortured to death, involved in accident then left to death, prematurely thrown away and malnourished to death (especially kitten), roadkilled, honestly imo being preyed upon by wild dogs or eagles is a better option. As much as good-intentional people try, in my opinion we can't save all of them especially if their population is out of control. Let alone area where cats become pest, or alien hazard for indigenous species (eg. New Zealand and Australia, land of the flightless bird). If you have an idea on how to make better welfare to all kitties in the world, please do share it with us, for now i am advocating on population control, adoption, and humane treatment for all :)

She still had a raggedy old collar that was 2 sizes too small around her neck. She allowed me to remove it and pet her head. After that we were inseparable. She moved right in. :-)

[@thetooginator153]

Well, I am perfectly happy to be conquered by cats. It IS amazing to have a alpha predator sitting on my lap. I adopted a beautiful semi-feral adult kitty and he has OBVIOUSLY put a ton of energy into resisting the impulse to scratch and bite me. I never punished him other than temporarily withholding affection (like, ten minutes). He figured out that I REALLY don’t like to be scratched or bit and now he almost never does it. About once a month or so, he gets a bit carried away and gives in to his impulses, but it’s becoming less and less frequent.

[@thetooginator153]

Ana Thanks for the feedback! I have been tempted to adopt a kitten, but I am worried about the same thing you mentioned. A neighbor told me that she tried to adopt my kitty, but (she says) he was too hostile to her other cats. I get very emotional and very attached to cats, so the idea of returning a kitten is basically unbearable to me. The situation right now is pretty good. I am extremely proud of how my kitty learned not to bite or scratch me, even though I can tell he still has that impulse. Whenever I see him resisting that impulse, I ALWAYS say “Good boy! Good boy!” and pet him. Frankly, I’m amazed at how he resists the temptation simply because he knows it hurts me. I also suspect he likes being rewarded for his effort. I also make sure I play with him when he gets amped up. I encourage him to attack strings, laser dots and paper bags (he loves attacking paper bags), or anything else - just not me.

Ana Thats one of my “obsessions” towards cats. Dogs are cute in my opinion, but they all seem to be similar.

I love cats a dogs equally, but there’s just something more intriguing about cats.

[@TarasTankFriends]

First, thank you for adopting a semi-feral cat! I have adopted a handful of completely feral cats in my lifetime and tamed them. I have one who would bite, and I would just say to her "don't bite" firmly every time she did it. Now she is the sweetest thing, loves petting, and never bites. All of my former ferals are super tame with me and my husband now, but the drawback is taking them to the vet--they revert to feral under stress. 😥 Anyway, it's just patience and love, and thank you for yours for your cat!
