Torties are the best little females. She's probably a princess and should be treated as such. Thank you for taking her in and being a good home

Torties are the best!

Thank you!! I lost my 16 year old baby Jan '23. This is a situation that I'm looking for as my next pet. Or until a homeless kitty finds my doorstep.

That is beautiful

Thank you for giving the senior tortie a second home! My cat came to me through a similar situation...bff's mom needed to go to assisted living and somehow none of her 8000 relatives could (or would) take her 14 year old cat, Leo. I had told her if nobody would take Leo, I would...and so I did. I knew going into the situation he would not be with us long--he was already in the beginning stages of kidney disease--and I told people Leo probably wouldn't be with us longer than two years. He just passed in February, after being with us two years and two weeks, and he was the light of my life. I miss him so much...at some point, I'd like to get another senior kitty, but not for a while.

❤

So sorry to hear and so happy that you have fur babies to keep you company through your grief. I wish you the most benevolent outcome in all that you do. 🫂🫂🫂

😻😻

Bless you & your cats.

❤

The nurturing instinct kicked in at that moment 😆 it's like an uncontrollable force bordering on substance/habit addiction.

Cats do that to you. I bawled for days when my cat died. I did not even cry when My father died.

Man or machine. 😻👌🏻

that's basically what happened the first night I brought home my cat Tofu. I said out loud "If this cat gets up on my chest, loafs, and falls asleep, I'm going to absolutely melt" and that's exactly what happened and I did. I've been his ever since and I wouldn't have it any other way

@@adriansolis5362Tofu is an adorable name for a cat! ❤❤

Sounds amazing! 😊

So glad you all found each other. 💙

Bless you. ❤

My dad and went looking for a male cat, a few yrs old, because my elderly cat passed and my younger cat was depressed. We went home with a 5 mo old male and 6 mo old female. Dad saw the female as another woman was holding her and he said low to me, "If she doesn't take her, we're going to take her." Beautiful torbie (calico/tortie and tabby), basically her orange is striped. Seeing Dad lock on to her the workers steered the woman to the kitten room as she was just looking for anything cute. A shy male tux grabbed my pants leg. Those two just turned 9, which boggles my mind. The cat they "replaced" was a muted torbie and my childhood cat. I can't believe that she's been gone eight and a half years. My oldest just turned 12, and my youngest turned 7. My oldest and youngest are like brothers, the tux is the biggest boy who is so timid and shy and can run likea cat half his size, and the torbie is the princess. Cats absolutely pick their people. I'm glad that you have such good companions. Our tux alerts me to oncoming migraines and gives me pur therapy throughout, my oldest is my emotional support, and my youngest is our taskmaster who keeps the humans eating on schedule, escorts to and from the kitchen, oversees food prep, and eats when I eat. Our torbie gives pur therapy as well, makes sure I feed her a small amount of cheese every day, and clowns around when we're in bad moods (chronic pain for us both). So yes, I really do need all of these cats!

Marry me!

OMG you are soooo right!!!! The biggest turn off is a man who hates cats(or any animal l).

What about chinchillas?

@@tylerandsandiescott2893 NEVER !

As a “cat lady” who does a lot of rescue; I joke that my perfect man will say “I LOVE cats” when he first asks if I have any pets. And of course he won’t have any, because I have them all 😂

@@tylerandsandiescott2893 (chinchillas) Never seen one in person. Can you pet them?

Yes.

My husband became a cat dad when we got together and they love him more than me 🤣🤣

When I met my husband he wasn’t an animal person. He’s learned a lot over the years lol

🖖❤

You were chosen! 😻

It's only temporary. Theyll be fast friends before you know it. Coming from a woman who let a cat in from the below zero temps at Christmas who now zips through the door before my other cats can com In. He had decided he lives here now and wont stop purring.

Great story, thank you.

Once my family have four cats. And then, like it's not enough, the stray dog choose us. The big one. Dog was very friendly, but cats went nuts, so we had to keep them separated. To protect the dog. But then huge storm happens with lights and thunder. And all five of them got scared and run to my mom. And they sit altogether side by side on her knees and around her till the storm ends. It was just insane picture. They was like children seek for protection. She held them and talk to them to calm them. And I was like 'Oh dear, I'm a Snow White's son!' They were get along since then. My ma is the best.

Loool😂

That’s a great work environment; I know she makes your days and nights on the road so much better!

I love truckers with cats. I follow them on Reddit. Y'all are wonderful people.

See? Ragging on dogs. As I said in my comment….I watch a ton of animal content and love both but anyone with eyes can see how vicious and a very bully behavior the cat people have…..anyone with eyes and a brain can see it IF they pay attention.

@@6Haunted-Days My 2 Irish Wolfhounds died and I haven't had the heart to replace them. I had to put them down at 13 and 14 yrs old because of their hips. I just went into remission from cancer and couldn't handle a dog cause I live in NYC and it's not like when I was barfing all day and getting poison pumped into my bloodstream I could just let my dogs run on a lead in the backyard. I love dogs. As a trucker, you can't have a dog in the truck. It's cruel to the dog. A dog needs to be active. I hate people that get dogs and aren't active with them.

She is a spoiled princess...I have a tuxedo girl who travels with me in my Jeep and she sits on the dashboard and looks at everyone ❤...she loves it

Great names!

Majestic names

I like to think Doc Holiday was a stray that showed up to your house thinking “I’ll be your huckleberry” It was a common phrase at the time meaning “I’m the one you’re looking for” & it was said by him

That’s how you name a cat!

Did you forget dogs exist?

🤣😂🤣🤣🤣

😂😂

I see what you did there!

Cats or dogs are the same.. if anybody dislikes someone's else pet I won't trust that person.. if someone's else pet (dog mostly) is aggressive or mean , I'll be weary of the owner and I'll be watching my back and that person never gets to my inner circle. Cats are naturally aloof and that's their culture but dogs are different.. next time you met someone,and they have a dog.... You can tell a lot about that person by his/her dog. I don't own cats but my neighbour's two cats decided my house is theirs 😂😂😂 one grey, she's older by one year and the younger is orange,they are siblings ,they won't even let their owner touch them but with me they behave like puppies 😂😂😂

@@thisnthat7760 i bet that orange one is a character - trust me once you go orange there’s no going back

You live in heaven. I have 10 on the bed on average. Lots of fosters. And I’m never allowed in the bathroom with the door closed lol

We used to have 10 cats. It took two weeks, after the last one past, that we went and got a new cat. Is strange having only one. It is however easier to clean the litter box..😊

Mine haven’t learned space lol. Toilet time means lap time 😆

I had 5. Mum and 4 kittens. 😻😻😻😻😻

Next time use seaweed....😂🤣

I put my beta in a little cardboard jewelry box and burried him underneath my window. I had him for 2 years. I think thats good for a beta.

That’s beautiful that you respected their life.

Mine became fertilizer for the rose bush...gorgeous roses! Same with my parakeet. We have a back yard pond in the Pacific Northwest and lost 2 goldfish to forest fire ash so we made fish emulsion out of them for our garden. The respect for life is practicality when on a farm. Our cats are working animals keeping away the rodents and they rest on us in the evening in front of the woodstove with the dog at our feet. We love our critters and they love us.

That's simultaneously humorous and touching. Wrapped in a leaf. ("Chips" as in fish and chips?😂)

Men who like cats rock.

Two cat Dad holler Patrick and Simon.

My neighbor, a retired and disabled gentleman, walks the neighborhood with cat treats in his pocket. He now owns 2 cats... so spoiled!

Named my kitten Rain ... turns out, he's Dwayne.

Amen

As long as they talk about them in a good way! I’ve heard a few “comedians” say some pretty nasty things about cats.

Same here! Any recommendations for others?

It worked for me with my wife

Oh yes they are!!! I knew the first moment I met my husband he was the one… when he told me all about his childhood cat Tammy and how he cried like a baby when she passed, he was in college and his mom called him and told him. He literally had tears in his eyes telling me that story!!! We now have 10 cats and he’s the best cat dad!!

yes❤

Oh yes, they are❤

Yes...

Scary re the cable guy. Cats are very special animals who are much maligned and treated with contempt. I feel sad for people who haven’t been loved by a cat.

Just like dogs! Perfect story!! 💞

Thank you. Toby & Booboo got a can of albacore tuna after that news, not that they knew why, but I did. LoL@@HeatherHennessey-zq4ou

WOW!

My black cat is a female & named: Sissy BooBoo Jeffries! BooBoo for short. She was abandoned at 1 month & rescued at 3 months. She's 4 ½ years old & weighs around 2 pounds. She's emotionally, mentally & physically stunted. She's afraid of everything including herself. Doesn't like being picked up by anyone & will only allow me to pet her if I'm sitting in the recliner. I love her so much & will never give up on her. My son & daughter make me send "proof of life" pictures to them because she hides whenever someone else comes into our home. I tell her I understand being afraid of people & I don't like many of them either! 🐈‍⬛❤

Same here. I think people who hate animals are the most evil life form there is.

Personally I think 90% of the people who say they hate cats or dogs have either had a bad experience or they're just doing it to be "cool".

😊 Very.

Absolutely!!!!

Agreed!

Well, hello, Celina! If that is really your picture, you are a very pretty young lady! If that's okay to say!😏 What kind of dog?

how many cats are above the people in that house?

Love it! We have 8 people, 6 cats, two dogs and a horse (but he’s not inside lol). Lost one cat and our bearded dragon in 2023, but we’re definitely still reptile people. Cats and dogs all rescues that found us and they bring so much joy to our lives. Animals truly are the best people.

🤲❤

Found three 3.5 week old kittens a year ago. Kept all my babies and our house is crazy... Also two dogs, but the cats rule...

what happened to others?

@@mrsthatcher9815 one unfortunately hit by a car. He was my best buddy. This was about 9 or so years ago. Then a few years ago his twin (also my little buddy, love them all) developed squamous cell carcinoma in his jaw, I didn't recognize what it was until too late can't afford chemo (not even for myself really), so I kept him comfortable as long as I could, but once he couldn't eat I had him put under, hardest choice I've made, still wonder if that was the right thing.

Don't knock snakes. A snake in search of your body heat can give great hugs.

@@lobstermash 😂 wiseguy! I admit I don't love snakes but I respect and would never intentionally harm them. No hugs thank you. 😊

❤

❤❤❤❤

I also have seven cats, and I have a dog.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I'm curious as to role of the flying squirrel in this social dynamic. It must be America. I have never heard of domesticated flying squirrels, before.. Is it happy? Does it need a special enclosure or can you adapt the average home to be ideal for flying squirrels? And what is it like to live with a flying squirrel? Do they have a sense of play? Do they get up to mischief? What does a flying squirrel consider mischief? Do they like to land on a person completely out of nowhere?

I’ve always wished a squirrel would adopt me. I haven’t lived close enough to them except for a short time. I would totally be the crazy person feeding an abandoned, baby squirrel with a syringe. 😊

We see your two brothers, and raise you two - when we went in to get two cats, we ended up with four! Two pair of older bonded cats really REALLY needed a home, and now, they all have their oiwn place, with two grown adult servants (my husband and me), 24-hour maid service, organic meals, and a suede couch to sleep and shed cat fur on... ❤😻😻😻😻❤

Two are actually easier than one if they get along.

Me too ! 😂

100% I have 6 soon to be 7 I think my son has a stray at university. Never too many cats x

We stopped at three because we could barely find an apartment that would take those three and they all nope in the idea of more

DUELY NOTED. I am on two now, but my mom has 7. She is overwhelmed.

Great, now *I* have to...

😂😂😂😂

What you suspect at being last is correct. You are the admirer, the food giver, the poop remover, the door opener, the walker, the scritcher, and the soft lap….in other words you are the servant. 😂😂😂😂😂

My husband is a fantastic cat daddy to our 10 cats❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I made a couple videos about the cat garden enclosure I built in case anybody is interested in seeing that. It's such a wonderful solution for keeping cats both indoors and outdoors while safe, secure, and happy. Two of my cats were taken, and that inspired me to build it.

@@brotherowlYes please

Omg!!! Your comment brought me back, my grandmother seem to have a never-ending supply of sucret's boxes that had a never-ending supply of uses... Including fish casket

Tin Band-aid boxes, worked too

I 90%agree but cats are better than people. They know it we know it x

I'm a cat person but a reptile one too! I currently have a Hermann's tortoise but had 4 beardeds over the yrs (amongst many other things...an iguana, fat-tailed geckos, tree frogs, fire belly toads, newts, salamanders...it was quite a menagerie for many yrs lol). The beardeds were such great pets and fun to have! People never believe that reptiles have personalities too and can be loved and part of the family like dogs or cats 😊

Aww...shes a little Dani....Mother of dragon

Bearded dragons also wave at you or Bob their heads at you 😊

Cat and reptiles all around here... Ive decided beardies come with talons so I feel I'm dipping into the bird group too... without the noise.

Not personally a fan of most reptiles either. Although, I love rodents. Had a pet rat once that was absolutely darling. Unfortunately, they only live for about three years. My son and daughter-in-law have a boa and a couple of other reptiles. I don’t want to touch them, but I can appreciate that they love them and spoil them. I think all animals have some appeal to everybody. I know there are people that hate rodents, but I think they are the most darling things ever. Maybe even more than cats and that’s saying a lot. 😅

Ironically cats don't care about your allergies if they think you're a good person 😂😂😂.

They weren’t ready for the fish death

I am sorry for your loss but it sounded like you gave your a cat a good life.😊

I agree with the first sentence. But the second sentence makes no sense at all.

@@JohnSmithEx it means they are more likely to display humane behavior (kindness, caring, sharing) than human people. At least in my experience.

You haven't watched many animal documentaries have you? Animals are savage as HELL. Just as much or more than humans.

@@cbhayden1 it was implied that I was talking about domesticated animals.

@@cbhayden1 even wild geese will mess you up just for funsies. This video is about house cats, not mountain lions. Chill.

I have 10 rescues and love them all!❤

10 at least !!!❤

Say hi to your cats for us

Would you like a pretty calico?

Great show!
