@@transcendant3231 Forcing an animal to accept unwanted caresses in exchange for food is same as using ice-cream to entice 11-year-olds to take the jab - without parents' consent to boot. So yes, they'd make excellent Canadian health ministers.

Considering you've been gone 10 years everytime you leave for work or 20 years when you leave them outside a store, it's fair to say he feels like the last meal is 40 years ago XD

It cost 400.000 dolar to eat for 12 second

Just like leaving home too, "Alright I'm off to work, see you later!" "YOU'RE LEAVING ME FOREVER?"

Lol 😂 dogs have no concept of time

My cat has a food machine, one day I leaved for 30 minutes and when I came back it had already been eaten by him. But like the machine is big, big enough that it would last at least 5 days.

@@bigbumimpi I realize that not everyone has the ability or desire to care for kittens. I have 3 cats of my own so I also know what caring for an animal is like. You’re not special. The fact that not everyone has the ability to care for an unexpected litter of kittens is EXACTLY WHY I made my comment you overly toasted loaf of bread. I was applauding her DESIRE to care for these kittens, not her ability. I also did not disparage anyone who does not have the ability to care for kittens in any way. It was a positive comment about this story not a negative judgement about other stories that don’t end this way. The fact that you took it as such says more about you than me.

@@angiadcock8196 "...overly toasted loaf of bread"?? You are an exceptionally loving human being if that is the "insult" you threw out. I have been called MUCH worse online for much less of an action. Keep being you!!!! I love it.😊💕

@@ardeethomas4916 It was meant to convey something annoying but not all that important in the grand scheme of things. I refuse to get into an “internet fight” in the comments for a video of adorable kittens being taken care of. That would certainly be a new low for me as an internet user. Although I do find it really alarming that the most aggressive responses I’ve gotten to any UKposts comment has always been my positive comments on animal videos.

Amen !!

Agreed!!! 🥰

**YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, MY FRIEND!!

You are very right

Indeed the elderly need extra TLC. We're a society that glorifies youth and diminishes the value of the old.

Yes because, The cat mom might get even more feral if she loses her kittens she might even get more stressed and attack anytime.

They’re not humans. They don’t give a toss after weaning if they are separated.

Cats are independent individuals, once the the kittens are ready to survive alone they’d literally leave one by one lol

@@shamelesshussy it's good for her to take care of babies. It kinda feels like 'atleast I know someone'. It also improves her social contact with other living beings. I'm pretty sure they'll grieve, but since we don't understand them we tend to think they don't give a damn

Maby to raise them for a few weeks but later its better to separate them

Thank you for saying that.

Were reminded all the time when we see these violent urban videos

YES! I’m a domestic violence survivor. My trust is battered when it comes to men. I hate hearing “not all of us are the same”. Let’s see if I find someone that’ll be patient and give me unconditional love like this woman did for Shadow lol 😅

I'm not wear anti bite gloves to interact with a person.

@@TheOriginalBiRacialPrince You shouldn't expect unconditional from anyone, except your mom. All adult relationships are conditional.

Yeah a month to tame an adult feral cat is pretty impressive.

Maybe she already had a home at some point

She wouldn't of been that hyper aggressive if she had. I think the cats temperment played a huge role

@@obsidianfrost9514 sometimes house cats forget the human touch when they've relied on their survival skills for too long. But we'll never know

She's probably belonged to someone at one time. The ones that were born and raised outside, with no contact, usually don't tame up as quickly..

Add a public reply…

You have no idea

Same for me, exactly six years! Was worth every minute😊

6 years?? he didnt accepted you, he gave up... got stockholm syndrome...

@@hannas.6177 not at all; before he is outside 24/7, 365 and roamed the neighborhood, only coming by to eat/drink at the feeding station I had set up. Free to run/escape when I attempted to approached and he watched from a distance when Im outside and did yard work. And it’s the same present day, except now at sunset, or when he knows I’m home, he waits at the back sliding door, asking to come inside. I earned his trust with patience and food/shelter/water/safe haven. He has a 2nd generation kitty tube outside to add shelter in, but he prefers to sleep in the garage at night - where he has food/water/clean litter box and many cushy places to sleep in. In the mornings, I open the side door to let him outside while I clean the garage litter box; he has ample time/opportunity to leave, but he chooses to stay inside. I understand you post from ignorance. Unless you’ve earned the trust of a feral animal, you would mistakenly assume it’s SS. Feral creatures survive by avoiding human contact, having no trust in mankind. You make no sense when you say my feral boy “gave up”

@@TheHighlanderGirl qhat did hanna s. say?

@@Innerpandora It looks like she deleted her reply. She said my feral cat has Stockholm syndrome and gave up trying to evade me.

mothers don't always become attached to their kittens, actually after the weaning is over they're usually not interested in them anymore.

@@cocolime6496 which is why its all the more adorable that that wasn't the case here :D

I think she would've reacted that way to any cat. The training changed her demeanor and she knew she would get the food eventually, so she was willing to let the more hungry one eat first.

The kittens are in the cage with her while she's being domesticated. You can see them in some of the shots.

On the streets them kittens would have died n animals get split from their babies a lot. Calm down

oh but no presents in the form of dead or dying animals as she yowls for either you or her kittens to come and eat? lol

Because she's still MOM!! Always be her kittens!

Mom's are moms regardless of the species. Lol... So precious.

@@kdence1541 this is true but I've unfortunately taken in many injured animals and strays over my life and have seen mothers of different species either try to eat their babies or just starve certain ones so animal instinct will definitely come before a mother's instinct..and as humans its hard to watch and understand but evolution tailored them to make these hard choices based on each situation. But yes I do agree that when that mothering instinct kicks in it does not differ from species to species including humans and primates.

@@misspoliticallyincorrect2081 Those animals letting their children starve aren’t so different from human abusive parents

I really wish this sort of thing would happen much more often🥺😭

Go to a shelter. Just take a look around, don't necessarily go Intent on adopting. You might find a cat that speaks to you.

As a person who understands your pain, I agree you can never replace a pet like your Smokey. What you can do is give another cat who needs love a chance to have what Smokey had with you. Getting another cat does not betray your love of Smokey, it honors it. Your heart has love in it obviously, so I encourage you to share your love.....you will benefit as much as your new family member. 💗

I see that your comment was from 1yr ago (about your kitty passing away). You said that you didn't have the heart to "replace him". I am praying that by now your heart has healed & that you have come to realize that you Never, ever can "replace" them, you just open your heart up to help another sweet soul in Desperate need of a loving home. You do it in honor of the life & the love of that pet, never as to "replace" that pet. And I can honestly wholeheartedly tell you that your kitty would not want you to be without the love & companionship of another kitty who needs a home. Obviously we need to grieve our beloved fur-babies & for some people they need to wait a while, & for others they need to adopt again right away to help ease the tremendous grief of the loss, by opening their heart up to loving another pet. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, it's all a Very personal experience. I personally know the pain & heartache of losing too many of my cats over the years, & just lost 4 literally in a row & it's been extremely hard to deal with. As a life long rescuer in my community, I have often found another poor abandoned kitten(s) or cat(s) on the streets right after one of mine had died, & in my mind, finding another rescue was Not something I thought I wanted nor needed, but, there was that poor little face staring up at me begging for help, & of course I could Not, not help them! Opening my heart with love & compassion for that new rescue DID help my heart to heal from the intense grief I felt. I hope you will consider opening your heart & home & adopting another kitty. You can always "dip your toe in the water" by offering to be a foster for a kitten(s), cat(s) in need. And when it's the right time, & the right kitty... You WILL know, & your beloved kitty that has crossed over will likely lead you to whom you're meant to share your life with. Take care & be well. 🫂

Right

IKR!

I was ready to hit the sack. No, just 1 more. Amazing.

It was great to see Shadow's transformation.

She clearly wasn't actually feral. She meows, which feral cats do not know to do. She clearly had a human at some point, but has been living on her own for some time and had to harden up. Perhaps she has also suffered at the hands of people and was skittish for that reason. She acts the way I expect my younger, scaredy cat would act of he escaped. Because he hissy and scared of someone else, even though he is loved and well cared for by us. Other people terrify him. I think he has anxiety....

I adopted my female tortoiseshell Sidra at 4 years old from a pet store and she loves me, and now she follows me everywhere in my house.

That is cool 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱

ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

I prefer an adult ..don't get me wrong kittens are cute...adults though , you know what their little quirks are.

She is a beautiful cat. That was quite some job. Your kindness to animals is very much appreciated. ♥️🐈♥️

Bless you human angel for taking in the kitty cat...you earned bonus points in heaven for being an angel on earth!

yeah bless you man :)

cats are the best mane

Same! My cat was found in a flood hanging for dear life. When I first fed him he ate like it was his last day on earth, fast forward a few months later he's the kindest cat I've ever owned. He's still causious of new people and only likes those whom he trusts, but I think he's adorable and perfect the way he is.

A beautiful cat story.

Feels that way yeah. I'm not super experienced but every feral I've seen would have been rocking that cage like crazy until they collapse. Maybe I've only seen especially aggressive ferals.

Yeah, I found a feral kitten, and it hissed and jumped around away from me like a maniac. It took 7 days of daily feeding, with me standing away from him. Then slowly coming closer, and closer. After about 20 days, he became a cuddlebug, but he was a kitten, so I'm guessing adult cats would take more time.

True ferals take months to domesticate.

@Rukodiora I raised more cats than you've seen in your life I think, I know the chances.

@@idyllsend8235 True, it takes patience, practical love, persistence, and food

Yes. The kinder, better half of what we know is really inside most of us should be in the news more often. Instead all we get is the worst part in the news. Yeah, that sells viewership ratings, but once in a while a good story manages to slip through.

Abused cats don't go after a food plate the way that Shadow did at the beginning. That's a very feral way of behaving.

@@mobus1603 They do if they're starving. Trust me, I've seen it.

@@BazilRat: fair enough, but that's still much more often a feral behavior than an abused animal behavior.

@@mobus1603 Agreed. To me, she seems to be an abused cat who either ran away or got abandoned, and had to survive. That's why she's got the food behaviour of a feral cat, and all the rest from an abused cat.

Exactly. A real feral cat would have been WAY more violent and hissy.

I never knew I was a feral cat my whole life lool

A real tsundere...

LOL

Some kittens look like ragdoll 🐱

Look kind of like snowshoe to me. But they’re probably just siamese mixes.

Animals don't care about their kids after the weaning phase.

@@demoniclily1892 You can't say that for all animals.

I’m glad she didn’t hurt one of her babies! (Talking out of experience) I once had a cat I used to call “Mama kitty” I was like 3/4- i was young at the time lol. And mama kitty escaped after her litter (that we still have to this day) grew up and were independent one day, she came back and started attacking the litter-

Hi Linda hope you're okay?

She knew how horrible it was to starve

Oi do you possibly know how old she is? She looks pretty young

Well, her kids were taken to be given one by one and she was also given to an owner. When thatecer hapoens to humans, we frown our nose.

@@Haegemon She didn't keep her? Sad

atis comments: "She is a very beautiful cat, I love the white strip on her head." ....... On a horse, that white face marking is called "a blaze", and so I imagine it is the case with a cat or dog, also.

It looks like a lightning bolt like Harry Potter! I’m sorry I’m obsessed

@@wittwittwer1043 You're correct. ✔ I just Googled it when I saw your comment. Up until _now,_ I've never even thought to look it up, to see if it had a name, lol. The phrase "You learn something new everyday" rings true for me today. 🙂🕊️

My cat has a lighting strike on his head

@@twicemomosanajungyeon882 That's cool ! Years ago, I had a cat who _also_ had a 'lightning strike' marking (on his back.) I named him "Blaze". ⚡💗

It's amazing what love and alot of patience will do for an animal who's been abused. I have a kitten who's now abt 9 mos old. Polly came to me extremely fearful and it's clear she had been mistreated. She was abt 8 weeks old. It took alot of patience and love to get her to come out of her shell, but she finally did, and now she's just a big love bug! I'm so glad I took her in, because the pay off for me is her returned affection for me. She's just the sweetest lil girl and I love her so so much! She's the greatest lil companion to have, and she's really helped with my own lonliness.

That’s a tough, committing and loyal job. What a pretty cat, too.

It takes a while but they do start to warm up to you especially if they have met mean people. Several cats it took me a year to socialize them but they trusted me cause I kept feeding them.

@@homelesshannah50 agreed it took me a long while to earn the trust of a stray cat that lived near me I would put food out for her every day and try to just sit somewhere around her so she could get used to me. It took awhile but she warned up to me and we were able to get her to become a housecat.

@@tomfoolery5033 I know she is very pretty and a really good mama as well.

I have to agree that all cats need patience, love and trust. Our two were rescued, and we don't know what happened to them before. They are now very affectionate, in their own way, but won't tolerate being picked up. They each come and sit on our laps, but only when they want to. The male one comes and sits on my chest when I am watching a film on my tablet, especially if there is birdsong on the soundtrack. The female just decides to sit on you sometimes, when she feels like it. I like the way they are independent, would hate if they were easy to train. They are all different, like most mammals.

😂

😆😆

This is too funny 😂

Just be patient. Don't reach your hand over their head - it scares a lot of them. You'll be rewarded with the best kitty love. As you can tell, I just love cats.

Eu jurava q li "Come to Brazil"

It just takes a lot of patience and kindness to get them to be your friend

Hello fellow brazilian! Te desejo muita sorte (se vc ja nao conseguiu) de muito carinho nela por mim! Kkkk

Allowing ferals to remain feral isn’t ‘giving up on them’. Once they are spayed and vaccinated, they are better off and happier remaining feral. Forcing them to conform to our idea of domestication is actually quite selfish and egocentric.

@@shamelesshussy there's a parallel here with animals and people. No one is happy fighting every day to survive.

@@shamelesshussy I never said that, lol. Why do people get so argumentative on this channel?!? She seems pretty happy, and I think it's better than her dying on the streets or getting put down. It's a broad statement... no animal should be given up on. Geez...

John, 4 years ago, I got a Black Girl Kittie from the municipal shelter. I suspect that she may have been a Feral Kitten. She was 12 weeks and fairly tame when I got her, but she still seems to have that Feral/Wild streak about her.

Yes, also the meowing. Fully feral cats don't really meow at humans, or at all.

@@spaceace1006 I've been shredded by a feral cat. I had welding gloves on, but she was bouncing off the sides of the huge cage and would rip into my upper arms as she went flying past.

@@spaceace1006 oops, my previous reply was meant as a general reply but I think it accidentally replied to you bc I 👍/ liked your reply.

Must be different degrees of feral

thank you for your work! What you are doing is awesome!

She probably belonged to someone at one time. They can revert back to tame much quicker.. A true feral cat takes years, you're right. Even after years, they're very jumpy with anything new

I'm on month 4 with my feral Mom. She was extra spicy. She's not going back to the streets, no matter what.

this is what i though hahaha i work at a cat shelter and oh boy, ferals don't behave like that. She was probably dumped in the streets when she was very young

Been 3 years with my outdoor cat. She was pretty calm when we started, but very very skittish. We haven’t been working primarily on domesticating her completely. She’s gotten better at being picked up, she doesn’t scream at us anymore when we do. Shes a sweetie but very scared of anything that moves too fast.

Agreed wholeheartedly

Desert cats don't play met a few Arizona and California ones best leave be.

True enough, my kitty, Cocoa did not meow at all for the first five years or so, this is because I think, they do not want to give their position away. But eventually, after feeling safe and secure in household routine, she had to give in to her Siamese breed and now she talks quite a bit, mostly when she thinks I should get up and feed her.

I agree in a sense dear

I agree. It really depends!
