Some cats do play fetch a lot, and some love to swim. It depends on the cat itself, they're usually way more trainable than people think. She's growing up beautifully, I'm so glad she found her way to you.
@@k.vn.k did he talk about toilet, what do you mean, are you talking about how some cats on their own just start using the toilet and the owner doesnt have to buy kitty litter anymore?
Just a recommendation for future health reasons-please consider more wet food instead of dry. Dry is high in carbs and increases risk of health issues like diabetes and urinary/kidney issues 🙏 thank you for being a responsible pet owner and getting her spayed as well it’s clear she’s well loved
MIyth! I also used to believe this, for decades, and was devastated when my newly adopted cat wouldn’t touch any kind of wet food. But my vet luckily set me straight pointing to several long term studies that disprove this. The quality and make up of the food is key. Consistency is a matter of preference and doesn’t have an impact on long term health, hydration or anything like that. So as long as you opt for a high quality feed (preferably grain free imo) all is good in Catopia 😻
@@jsvensson8234bullshit. i talked to my vet about this myself, and he said i should even add extra water to the wet food. dry food is only okay if your cat actually drinks a lot of water on their own, but most cats don't. i would like to see those so-called "long term studies" you are talking about and if those were actually done by independent researchers.
@@jsvensson8234 Go to Jackson Galaxy's channel, he has an indepth series about food for cat, how the industrial dry pet food were made, and why dry food is so bad... even wet food if not carefully selected won't be nice for your kitty, regardless of their price point. IMO the best food one can give to their cats/dogs is the homemade one the owner make on their own, with fresh ingredients, no bullsnap fillers/preservative agents and knowing all the process of making them. and that would make it more flexible for owners to change the food to their pets' liking too
Cats (small and large) are biologically desert animals who have very efficient kidneys due to their species being a carnivore/eat high protein diets and don't drink due to environment (which then causes the habit/lack of). The reason most house/domesticated cats end up dying because of kidney diseases is up to debate, but it's commonly agreed upon the theory that it's just due to the fact that they live so long with humans. Even tigers or lions in zoos/sanctuaries end up with kidney disease because they live on average longer than wild ones. The myth of needing wet food is due to the thinking that more water helps flush the kidneys more often and makes their work of filtering the blood easier, which "keeps" them working longer, but it really isn't confirmed by studies to be 100% true. It's similar in humans where our organs are bound to no longer work as well as before and shut down once you've been living for a long time. It obviously can't hurt to give them wet food but it is only truly beneficial if you know your cat doesn't drink much water. Dry food and treats is perfectly fine as long as your cat drinks enough water separately. I do agree about the high carbs aspect though as that is something to look out for in any food or treats. It's not only dry foods that have high carbs, so it's just important to look at the ingredient list of your pet's food. High quality food is all that matters, not wet or dry.
The older she gets the more she will want to be held. At the moment she’s a junior so she just wants to run around and be chaotic all the time, but she will mellow out with age and after being spayed. I cannot stress enough how much of a blessing rescue cats are, it’s almost like they’re so grateful for being given a home. Gooey has a great life ahead of her
I also received a kitty via the cat delivery system (random garage of an I was touring). I can get kinda lost in work so having him around has really enriched my life. I’m glad Gooey found her way to you as well ☺️
A lot of cats dislike the bell sound in toys etc. Bells are useful to protect birds because it alerts them, but since she’s an indoor cat and will only go outside supervised you can remove it. She’s lovely and you’re doing a great job with her.❤
The very fact that she's wearing it and walking around is a big win tbh; My kitty when I put the harness on her she would just flop over and refuse to get up. She likes going outside but she's also super anxious at big sounds so she has run off before when the leash slipped and someone moved a chair against the pavement (thankfully she didn't run far) So we don't put her on the harness too often. I love how small gooey is compared to the other cats ToT My sweet baby cat also plays fetch! Though not as well as gooey!
My cat went into heat really early, around 4/5 months. You should definitely schedule the spay soon! One day my cat was fine, the next she was spraying, peeing everywhere, and putting her butt up to my neutered male cat. Keep up the great work :)
I see the cat disease has taken you too, Johnny. When I first got my cat, I was super unsure and now I would do anything for her. ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US
I can't help but squeal at how adorable and wholesome this whole video is. The parental love radiating from this video is just - awwww Looking forward to see her grow, healthy and adorable ❤
Love to see her getting big and strong! My cat is also a former Korean street cat, and his very favorite treat is dried anchovy. He also loves the cheap stuff! I think they know how lucky they are ❤.
Subscribed so I don't miss any updates on Gooey growing up 🥰 PS: Our cat-child is 12 this year and he still plays and act like he did when he was a kitten. We never stopped playing with him and he never slowed down. He just gets more sweeter and cuddly with age. Like Gooey, he is a 100% indoor cat. I think it's easier to keep their kittenness as an indoor cat.
The bell is going to sound super loud for her, so it would be kinder to take it off, but if you feel better with it on, then you can keep it on, but definitely better to take it off
That tail is pointing right at you. She's a delightful kitten, energetic, and super happy with her environment. You've got her an excellent selection of toys to keep her engaged. Plenty of mental engagement keeps them away from wrecking your stuff, (I find.) I suspect she's going to be a beautiful full full-grown cat.
Im SOOOO glad to have stumbled upon your channel. I think ive wat hed about 50 shorts all in a row. GREAT content!!! Sweet Gooey is just precious....thank you for savjng her life 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I’ve only seen one cat not be absolutely insane for churu. My little old lady could care less but her younger brothers would sell my soul for churu 😂 They also really like dried minnows.
She's still young, like a little kid running around all the time. She will eventually calm down a little. But she's obviously very playful and that won't change. Have you tried training her to a harness and taking her outside on walks? I think she'd really love that. And bravo to you for intending to get her spayed. That's one of the most important things we can do to help insure our cats live long, healthy lives.
She's so sweet. You lucked out getting one of those special cats with a great personality. I love seeing people suddenly become a cat people & that your mom loves her too. Your dad will eventually fall in love with her too. You & your family are headed for many years of fun & love. Wishing you all the very best.
All cats have great personalities. She is not some rarity. What are you talking about?! I've fostered more than 400 cats and ever single one of them was or became (with a little time, care and love) friendly, cuddley and affectionate.
@@daenerystargaryen not all cats are dog-like, friendly to house guests/strangers, coming when you call, game to get in a carrier/leave the house (not skittish or reluctant to be held or go on a lap). maybe your having more cats around helped the new fosters learn from the others that certain things were desirable so they grew past certain aversions, maybe it's harder for cats to lose certain aversions if there are not other cats around helping them realize certain things are not only safe, but desirable? all animals are special, but i think i know what the person meant when they indicated some animals seem extra special, some animals have a certain combo where you feel like it's hitting the jackpot? for many it's having a very dog-like super friendly anxiety-free extra relaxed cat. or eg, i love allll dogs, but if i get one someday, i think the features that would make an extra rare, hitting the lottery dog are: *not barking all day long* (quiet), very calm/gentle**, supersoft still after no longer a puppy, still looks like a puppy even though adult :)
@@daenerystargaryen haven't you ever watched jackson galaxy's show, cats from hell or whatever the title is, some cats that make the owner afraid, some that jackson galaxy determined seemed not trainable, certainly objectively could be considered to have a less desirable personality than certain others?
She has grown so much!!! My cat loved fetch from the time he was a kitten. Would only play it with boba straws though -- they were twice as long as he was as a baby. I sure do miss him. Rip Fish.
I've mostly seen the version of fetch where the human servant throws the object and the cat runs to it only to leave it there and expect said servant to pick it up and throw it again. 😀👍
She is so adorable and sweet, and lucky to have such an intelligent, loving, cat dad! I've had lots of cats in my 70 years, but the best ones always seem to be the ones that find you or that you rescue.
Cats are amazing… I had my first cat for 18 years, now I’m on my second cat for a little over four years. Can’t live without them. They’re amazing company. They ask for nothing in return but food, water and love.
She's a cool, cute cat. She's lucky you take such wonderful care of her. I have an almost 20 year old cat. She's amazing, too. Enjoy her cats are great companions.
For someone who has never had a pet, you are very good with Gooey😻. 2 out of 5 of my cats play have played fetch. I subscribed few months ago and really enjoy all you videos…but I am always on the lookout for Gooey! Hello from Minnesota USA 🇺🇸
It is surprising to know you never had much interaction with cats before. The way you go about getting her used to the harness is perfect, your research really paid off. It is easy to see she is a happy little cat, and she feels very safe and secure around you. It's also great you got her used to different places, people and other fluffies, that makes life so much easier for you and for her. She is a lovely, confident little sweetie, and you are a great cat guardian. Once she grows bigger, you can get her a large cat tree and place it near a window, so she can enjoy _Cat TV,_ and also maybe think about some of those little runways and bridges you can mount on your walls. Vertical space really makes them feel comfortable and in control of their territory.
i saw a fun video recently, the owner had some carpet like wall-hanging (that actually looked nice as well) and the cat would run into the room and then climb up the piece of hanging carpety-wallpaper runway, and just be their midair and then run back out of the room. zoomies :)
I have 2 a boy and a girl. Nala is 2 and she's calm and she doesn't like to be picked up most of the time. Loki is 8 months and he's my problem child. He climbs all over the cabinets and fridge when he has the zoomies, loves to play hide and seek abd will always find his way between your legs so i always end up tripping to not step on him. Nala is smart and will talk to me and come when i call her. She loves car rides. And yes cats are so cute when they carry things in their mouths. Loki had an infatuation with my bras for a while lol
She’s so precious and you’re such a good cat dad! ❤ I leash trained my cat as a kitten (although he was a bit accustomed to it from the family i got him from), here’s a few tips i found helped: having the harness quite loose in the beginning and slowly tightening it everytime i was putting it on my cat. I also first started with only the piece that goes around the neck (the harness parts were detachable). Also playing while he was wearing it with his favorite toys, so he got the feeling that he could move while it was on. And yes, treats! Then putting on the leash and open the front door, only for him to explore the immediate outside of the door. He was so anxious at first he only sat in the doorway but slowly curiosity took the win. We had many wonderful adventures in the near woods of every place i lived at, he also had a kitty backpack he got in so i could take him to a safe place while living in an apartment. Also if a dog approached i’d quickly scoop him up in the backpack which i kept on my belly side. Once the initial training was done, he probably associated the harness with the outdoors and was always patient when i put it on him. I kept the bell on so that he couldn’t jump birds if i got distracted. I lost him last year to cancer, he lived to be twelve. I’ll always miss him and our outdoor walks. I wish you and gooey get to experince the same. Walking outside with your cat and seeing them interact with the world around them is one of those things that you’ll never forget.
positive reinforcement is what we love to see! I can tell you have done your research and giving the best care and also attention to Gooey. As for the play fetch my cat used to do it all the time when she was younger. There are some cats that just pick up on things and learn how to catch on. I never trained my cat to play fetch, she just knew what to do. Thank you for the update I love your videos!
My playful cat stayed playful as he agreed. She'll probably keep her playfulness, but a little lower energy as she ages Also the belt is needed for cats. Cats shoulders are different from dogs (that's how cats can fit into small spaces) so the belt helps to distribute the harness pressure when it's connected to the leash during walking. If you're going to be walking her with that outside and she suddenly makes a run for it, chasing after something and you don't have the belt part: either the collar part will slip off over her head or she'll dislocated her neck.
She is purrfection and sooo purrdy. She is old enough to spay too- they can have real trouble if they are not spayed even if they do not become pregnant. I think she has Bengal in her- she has the build and coloring. They are active cats!! My 7 month old Ragdoll House Troll plays fetch too - he is delightful.
Hi from Canada. Your cat is lovely and plenty old enough to get spayed. She could get her first heat anytime now, you cannot spay a cat in active heat and living with a cat in heat is no fun. She will be yowling day and night and desperately try to escape (to mate). Please get her spayed as soon as possible for both of your benefits!
I call them puppy-cats - cats that have some dog qualities. Be sure to consistently clip her claws at least twice a month and brush her. The best cat brush I’ve tried is the Furminator. It’s worth the $. Her fur will thicken with age. So happy you’ve added love and joy to your life.
Aw youre so lucky! I've tried teaching my 2 cats to fetch but they just run to the toy and guard it until i walk over. If its a ball on a flat surface my girl does at least hit it in my direction. From one unplanned first-time cat owner to another, you're doing awesome! Some advice for the spay (my girl had it done about 6 months ago): Both my girl and boy cat HATED the cone, and the longest I could get them to wear it was 10 minutes after trying for 2 hours. They ended up doing ok without it, but I recommend using that post-surgery vest/onesie instead. Could have her just get used to wearing it beforehand. I also kept her in a 2x3 foot cage while I wasn't around to prevent her from jumping, which was good because she ended up having a few pee accidents during the first couple days. Also, since they can't groom themselves, pet wipes are great to help clean them.
Thank you for sharing your cat. What makes animals so great is they are not aware of a camera(not self conscious or ego driven like humans),they are just being 100% authentic spiritual beings. That’s why I love to watch cats like yours.
She's beautiful. My boy cat played fetch when he was young. Both of my cats were feral kittens. Their cat mom brought them. Your girl has a wonderful life. Great food, toys, attention and lots of room to run. A dad who is attentive and responsive to her needs. I'm sure the leash will add more fun to her life. I wish you both many happy years together.
Your kitty has a personality similar to my baby girl. She is very mellow and well mannered but very playful. She is a rescue and we guess she is probably 7-8 years old. She is leash trained and travels happily in her carrier. I mostly trained her on a leash for when we travel. She is harnessed to her carrier so when we go camping she stays harnessed to her backpack while she watches me put up the tent. Once it’s up she leaps into the tent. I keep her harness on all the time so her tag is on her that gives whoever finds her the info to reunite us. She’s used to it. I only take it off to wash it if it gets soiled. Your baby is so adorable
My first foster cat loved playing fetch. People tend to think fetch is a game exclusively for dogs but cats also love this game and they get it naturally. I think it has something to do with cats’s hunting nature, and they know it’s also a great opportunity to bond with their hoomans😊
One of my tom cats always used to carry and fetch a toy..some do some dont..im so glad shes an indoor cat..i have 9 indoor cats in the UK,,all ex ferals..shes beautiful and you have become a proper cat dad ..yay..lol..make sure the harness isnt one she can slip out of as many do..theres one called a Butterfly harness ..they are like a jacket rather than just straps ..once you have a cat they capture your heart
Some cats do play fetch a lot, and some love to swim. It depends on the cat itself, they're usually way more trainable than people think. She's growing up beautifully, I'm so glad she found her way to you.
I have had cats play fetch. They weren’t trained at all. Just being a cat.
Mine love to fetch hate swimming. No training either, it’s like comes prepackaged with that skill (same with toilet, it’s all instinct)
@@k.vn.k did he talk about toilet, what do you mean, are you talking about how some cats on their own just start using the toilet and the owner doesnt have to buy kitty litter anymore?
@@sc33h3o3 toilet = cat litter. I was comparing with the dog, unlike dog cats can do their toilet instinctively.

She’s so precious and you’re such a good cat dad! ❤ I leash trained my cat as a kitten (although he was a bit accustomed to it from the family i got him from), here’s a few tips i found helped: having the harness quite loose in the beginning and slowly tightening it everytime i was putting it on my cat. I also first started with only the piece that goes around the neck (the harness parts were detachable). Also playing while he was wearing it with his favorite toys, so he got the feeling that he could move while it was on. And yes, treats! Then putting on the leash and open the front door, only for him to explore the immediate outside of the door. He was so anxious at first he only sat in the doorway but slowly curiosity took the win. We had many wonderful adventures in the near woods of every place i lived at, he also had a kitty backpack he got in so i could take him to a safe place while living in an apartment. Also if a dog approached i’d quickly scoop him up in the backpack which i kept on my belly side. Once the initial training was done, he probably associated the harness with the outdoors and was always patient when i put it on him. I kept the bell on so that he couldn’t jump birds if i got distracted. I lost him last year to cancer, he lived to be twelve. I’ll always miss him and our outdoor walks. I wish you and gooey get to experince the same. Walking outside with your cat and seeing them interact with the world around them is one of those things that you’ll never forget.
positive reinforcement is what we love to see! I can tell you have done your research and giving the best care and also attention to Gooey. As for the play fetch my cat used to do it all the time when she was younger. There are some cats that just pick up on things and learn how to catch on. I never trained my cat to play fetch, she just knew what to do. Thank you for the update I love your videos!
Bless you for being such a wonderful dad. You’ve got a gorgeous little girl there.
11:50 maybe if you put a '50% off' sticker on the treats she doesnt like, she'll eat them 😂
WOW. What a great couple. You both are amazing!
So cute 🥰 our cat was also walking in harness he loved it too❤
Anything to do with Gooey is good.
Great video! I love how accessorized you have kept her. The bunny hops are adorable! Certainly a happy cat. Thank you for being humane. Lol.
My playful cat stayed playful as he agreed. She'll probably keep her playfulness, but a little lower energy as she ages
Also the belt is needed for cats. Cats shoulders are different from dogs (that's how cats can fit into small spaces) so the belt helps to distribute the harness pressure when it's connected to the leash during walking. If you're going to be walking her with that outside and she suddenly makes a run for it, chasing after something and you don't have the belt part: either the collar part will slip off over her head or she'll dislocated her neck.
She is purrfection and sooo purrdy. She is old enough to spay too- they can have real trouble if they are not spayed even if they do not become pregnant. I think she has Bengal in her- she has the build and coloring. They are active cats!! My 7 month old Ragdoll House Troll plays fetch too - he is delightful.
You finally got blessed with the cat distribution system lmao
Hi from Canada. Your cat is lovely and plenty old enough to get spayed. She could get her first heat anytime now, you cannot spay a cat in active heat and living with a cat in heat is no fun. She will be yowling day and night and desperately try to escape (to mate).
Please get her spayed as soon as possible for both of your benefits!
Shes so sweet
I call them puppy-cats - cats that have some dog qualities. Be sure to consistently clip her claws at least twice a month and brush her. The best cat brush I’ve tried is the Furminator. It’s worth the $. Her fur will thicken with age. So happy you’ve added love and joy to your life.
Love this cat. Such a cutie.
She’s gotten so big🥹
OMG! She's absolutely adorable! You're so lucky she adopted you!
I can’t deal with her cute head behind the little visor in the backpack 😆❤️
Such a proud kitty daddy
You are such a kind and thoughtful cat daddy. I’m sure that’s what contributes to her being such a good kitty.
Oh my gosh! You and your kitty are so adorable! Loved this video, and will subscribe! 😻😻
I have that same cat and they’re just rad, sweet, affectionate.
She is absolutely adorable!! 😻
Aw youre so lucky! I've tried teaching my 2 cats to fetch but they just run to the toy and guard it until i walk over. If its a ball on a flat surface my girl does at least hit it in my direction. From one unplanned first-time cat owner to another, you're doing awesome!
Some advice for the spay (my girl had it done about 6 months ago): Both my girl and boy cat HATED the cone, and the longest I could get them to wear it was 10 minutes after trying for 2 hours. They ended up doing ok without it, but I recommend using that post-surgery vest/onesie instead. Could have her just get used to wearing it beforehand. I also kept her in a 2x3 foot cage while I wasn't around to prevent her from jumping, which was good because she ended up having a few pee accidents during the first couple days. Also, since they can't groom themselves, pet wipes are great to help clean them.
You are such a lovely cat dad!
Just found your channel… you’re a great cat dad 😊 She’s so smart and adorable
My cat just started doing it when I was a kid he also only liked to use buckets for a bath I miss that weird cat lol
Thank you for sharing your cat. What makes animals so great is they are not aware of a camera(not self conscious or ego driven like humans),they are just being 100% authentic spiritual beings. That’s why I love to watch cats like yours.
This was very much the content I needed today. Thank you.
She's beautiful. My boy cat played fetch when he was young. Both of my cats were feral kittens. Their cat mom brought them. Your girl has a wonderful life. Great food, toys, attention and lots of room to run. A dad who is attentive and responsive to her needs. I'm sure the leash will add more fun to her life. I wish you both many happy years together.
Now I know how to harness train my dog. Very informative.
She's still like a kitten. After cats are spayed, they tend to get less frisky over time.
Love her purrsonality 😻😻😻
This was very nice to watch. Made me calm and happy. Thanks
Love cat videos. Keep em' coming
Gooey is such a great cat. What a sweetie.
Oh my God, she’s the cutest cat!😍😍😍❤❤❤ She must be part Bengal. She’s very intelligent. Love the way you talk to her. 🙏
You are doing an excellent job of caring for her.❤
Your kitty has a personality similar to my baby girl. She is very mellow and well mannered but very playful. She is a rescue and we guess she is probably 7-8 years old. She is leash trained and travels happily in her carrier. I mostly trained her on a leash for when we travel. She is harnessed to her carrier so when we go camping she stays harnessed to her backpack while she watches me put up the tent. Once it’s up she leaps into the tent. I keep her harness on all the time so her tag is on her that gives whoever finds her the info to reunite us. She’s used to it. I only take it off to wash it if it gets soiled. Your baby is so adorable
We used to be told a good fit harness means you can fit two fingers between the harness and the body
Awwee she’s soo cuteee! ❤
Get her a feather tipped wand. My two went through about one a month - such good value. One of them played fetch a lot but she is an old lady now.
My first foster cat loved playing fetch. People tend to think fetch is a game exclusively for dogs but cats also love this game and they get it naturally. I think it has something to do with cats’s hunting nature, and they know it’s also a great opportunity to bond with their hoomans😊
She’s gorgeous❤
One of my tom cats always used to carry and fetch a toy..some do some dont..im so glad shes an indoor cat..i have 9 indoor cats in the UK,,all ex ferals..shes beautiful and you have become a proper cat dad ..yay..lol..make sure the harness isnt one she can slip out of as many do..theres one called a Butterfly harness ..they are like a jacket rather than just straps ..once you have a cat they capture your heart
