“I want the cat that no one’s want” THIS WOMAN IS AN ANGEL.
Agreed
We got our cat at a yard sale, they didn't want her because she wasn't pedigreed. I'm glad they didnt
And consequently got the cats that everyone would like to have.
my aunt does the same. going to the animal shelter and taking home the cat noone wants. she has a collection of 5 by now. and my mum got one of my aunt's when he wasn't getting along with the neighbour.. or rather the neighbour making a fuss about him being in their garden. and of course as soon as my mum had taken him in... my aunt went to the shelter and got an other one to fill the free spot in the house...
no way no one would want them, they are choice!
i have never understood why people don’t like black cats, maybe because of superstition 🤷🏻♀️ i love them, they’re gorgeous and have such pretty eyes 🥺
They always have great personalities too
People dislike black cats and put them in the category of evil. People don't like the black birds, grackles, and won't feed them, but are more than willing to feed the seagulls. I guess it's racism 😕
@@xa-xii9607 It's not racist people for thousands of years have associated black cats with bad luck
cause people literally are dumb af and believe in superstition and fairytales lol
@@charon_lix racism has been around for thousands of years as well
"People that say they don't like cats or think that cats are not affectionate or smart, it's because they've never had a cat" -- 100% TRUE!!!!!!
Or they're boring people. Dogs love you no matter what. Cats respond to what they receive. If you ignore a cat it will ignore you as well.
@@jgalt99 animals are animals. cats are imo upper brain matter. Dogs except for a few like shepherds are lower brain
Also those who say they can't be trained. I've trained all of mine.
@@jgalt99cats also love you. You have to respect their boundaries, you could get a really affectionate cat from the start. But then you could get a cat who is reserved st first, but then becomes very touchy and loving. Dogs love you from the start so it isn't as rewarding when you get their trust
My Wife eventually talked me into getting a cat almost 40 years ago. With the odd exception of a few months, we have had cats ever since. Every one of them has its own unique personality. I was told, "Cats will forget all about you after 2 weeks". I went on a deployment for over six months, when I came back my cat went NUTS! It was like I was a giant piece of catnip. She knew who I was and as independent as she was, she now would look up at me and in cat-speak ask/demand an "Uppie". If I didn't pick her up sometimes she would just jump up into my arms.
sounds like my cat he would run away from anyone looking to adopt him but ran right upto me and jumped up my leg and i had to pick him up as he was putting holes in my new jeans then he just fell asleep in my arms his foster carer said i was the first person he had ever gone near other than her granddaughter i was told she had named him boots due to the two half white front legs and he knew his name now he will just jump onto my shoulder if i ignore him when he wants attention but once he does i just give him cuddles and then he is fine for awhile but when its bedtime he is always right there next to my pillow all night he is even fully house trained due to me being a smoker and him following me and the other cat that we lived with while i was living with my mum for a while mum was shocked when i told her he did not use the kitty litter anymore and asked how so i told her
I have learned to never listen to ignorant humans who sick their dogs on cats (I've seen this happen in parks) nope never listen to any idiot who hates cats.
Cats will not forget about a person in 2 weeks, they may if the bond wasn't very close perhaps, or if they were very, very young. Strangely, though, depending on the personality of the cat, they can behave as though they forgot you and don't care you were gone if you leave them for a week or longer, when you return they will refuse to even look at you, and can behave that way for a day or two before they will forgive you. The closer the bond, the more aloof they may be, as they are not happy that you left them, and want you to know. Some cats don't play it "cool" like that though, and will behave happy, like a dog who misses their owner. Cats do not forget anything in 2 weeks, the only pretend to, when it suits them.
My cats love me and when I come home they follow me around
You have one beautiful cat
Treasure your cat , ❤️ love the way : they come after a person : when you have been away for a while.
Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
I adopted a bonded pair of black kittens and named them Phantom and Raven. They were brothers found in a pillow case thrown in a dumpster. They were clinging to one another so tightly I worried they might hurt themselves out of fear. Year after year they grew closer and closer. I had other rescue cats but these two were always together. I would call them one cat with two heads, because they laid together constantly. They were never aggressive unless one thought the other was in danger. They were closer than any creatures I’ve ever know. Inseparable. Maybe because starting out in life all they had was one another. One of the pair, raven, developed an illness and, after a long battle, I was forced to have the vet end his life. Phantom, seemingly healthy, with no apparently illness at all, died less than a week later. I had them cremated and their remains placed in the same box. They were 23 years of age.
Thank you for sharing! So touching!
Wow.

I got a brother and sister. I went for just the girl, but I when I was told that she took food to her much smaller, sicker brother. My heart became heavy. I tried to leave with just her, but she started crying, the same time he started whining for her. I ended up fighting for him, although my uncle told me he was the runt and sick so he probably won't live long. I took him anyway, and now he's bigger than her, lazy and ignores me whenever he feels like it, but he's the sweetest cat as long as no one is watching. 😂
@@reeceyh6492Awee u are the best for taking both. Thank you 🙏
❤
I love that she asked specifically for a cat that wasn't getting adopted! We need so many more people like her!!
❤️. Yes..I wish we had more kind people too.
Yes, but it’s great when people adopt shelter pets in general. If I had a farm…
@@TheAdarkerglow ......YES....I Love those who ADOPT 💕 👍!! And If I also had a Farm...lol 🐶 🐺 🐷🐴🐑🐰🐓🦊🐭🐨🐮🐥......Rescue mode 💕
She's a sweetheart
@@Raja-iq5pn : mostly adult cats are the ones that get bypassed for kittens.
10 years ago, I adopted a black cat from a rescue, I was his third home. He is 11 going on 2. He has so much personality, is playful and has so much energy. He's very chatty and the most loving cat, it's borderline excessive.😂 He loves being held and gives the best hugs. He sleeps with me at night and is the first one at the door to greet when I get home (in front of 2 dogs). I can't fathom 2 homes passing on him, but their loss is our gain. Hes an amazing little dude! 🐈⬛❤️
That's sweet :) Back in 2010, my family adopted a greyhound and we were his third home. We had him for 8 happy years until he crossed rainbow bridge.
Sono mamma di un gatto nero che adesso a tre anni trovatello nn potrei immaginare la mia vita senza di lui e nn mi a portato ai sfortuna anzi è il contrario o calore amore incondizionato e tanto altro ancora allora o gli occhi marrone scuro dovrei stare solo con chi a gli occhi uguali ai miei? I capelli crespi idem? Altezza ? Peso ? Devo dire altro??
My life has also been graced with two bonded black brothers, Raven and Pluto. I called the rescue woman and told her I wanted a black cat. She said she happened to have two black brothers, but they couldn’t be separated. I happily took them both. She said the smaller one, whom I named Raven, needed his brother for support because he was shy and nervous. Both of them are wonderful affectionate fellows with very different personalities. I couldn’t love them more. Formerly nervous little Raven has been asleep in my lap for the last hour. Thanks for your video.
She hit the nail on the head. People who say they don't like cats just never got to know them. What sweet little panther bros.
They're totally precious.
I feel so bad because my cat is black but in the sun you can see that she has a bit of tortoiseshell coloring but she has a lot of bad habits and behavioral problems, my 2nd cat doesn't have these consistent problems and is a full tortoiseshell and is the sweetest. My 1st cat can be affectionate but only to my mom. But it's given me so much stress to deal with my 1st cat when she does those things everyday that over the months I've grown resentment for her and I hate myself for getting so angry with an animal that I want to move out to leave her alone to do whatever she wants. I want to change but I also want her to get better but sometimes she can be so difficult... I don't know if anyone else understands.
@@YearOnACloud cats are like people you know, everyone is unique and can’t change that but just give the cat shave abs u am sure it will work out for you in the future
@@MVS_DJGillyGill I will, I hope it does get better. Thanks
Ohhh 2 mini panthers! Love it! I had that same way of thinking until I cat sat for a relative. We had a cat when i was little then had a dog for 12 years. I got a cat and had her for almost 17 years. She's been gone for 12 years and I still miss her. Someone posted on my FB page a while back that "cats are jerks". I replied with "Only to people who are jerks." Shut her up.
As mentioned in another post, I have an orange tabby and a black cat. Love them both.
I love it. I went into a shelter a few years ago and adopted a 17 year old black cat. He came home and he acted as tho he lived with me his whole life. He lived another year and a half.
Thank you. He knew love.
Coogggie....u are a cat wizard🤩
Thank you for doing that for him ❤️
👏👏👏
❤️❤️❤️
Black cats have such a nice personalities. Mine also never harm furnitures , does not touch any food unless I give to him. they are really clingy, follows you everywhere 😻
As the proud parent of a black kitty, I can relate to your wonderful kitties. 😊☮
Still don’t understand how they’re the last to get adopted, they’re so beautiful
I have 5 great loves
Some people are superstitious even though they wouldn't admit it, or not be fully aware of it.
It's because over the centuries IGNORANT people have only associated black cats with witches, Halloween and witchcraft so therefore they must be evil creatures. I have a solid black cat that was tossed out by it's owner and almost starved to death before it found my front porch and the food I used to leave out for my neighbor's cats before they moved away (and yes, they did take their cats with them, thankfully!). He was nothing but just literally skin and bones, barely alive. I rushed him to my vet who was shocked that he was still healthy in spite of his condition. Now he is a big, fluffy long haired love bug of a cat and even though he lives indoors with six other rescues, he knows he's special and loves ear scritches.
It's because of the stupid myth that black cats are badluck
They are beautiful! Never understand why people think black cats are bad luck, no cat is bad luck!
Right? I've had 2 of them, smart,, sleek, funny.
stupid superstitions
Horror movies , Halloween etc but black cats are just beautiful
I had a black cat years ago she was beautiful and very good luck for me and my family
In some places being crossed by a black cat is good luck :)
Thanks to everyone who gives an animal a home ❤
What a wonderful story!! In 2019, I adopted a cat no one else wanted. My kitty Sammy spent most of his life in a shelter and was returned twice by two different families. He's a perfect little angel. He just loves to cuddle and runs to the door to greet you -- or anyone who visits. 😺
I have a soft spot in my heart for black cats. Adopted one from the shelter and she lived 24 years. Still miss her every day.
24!!😮wow
I loveeee black cats! So shocked to hear that they’re the last ones to get adopted. That’s the first color cat I’d ever get
Oh my goodness,24 years is extraordinary! What an incredible gift to have had her in your life for so long,and you must have taken such wonderful are of her for her to have such a long life.
My black kitty was with me for 17 years. I miss her dearly, too.
What food you feed her?
I was adopted by a black cat named Norton. He showed up at my house one evening and decided to stay for another 12 years. After I had to let him go on his journey over the bridge, I was emotionally numb. It took almost a year before I could even think about another cat in my life. I adopted the oldest cat my local shelter had. She was left there by her owner at the age of 15, which I thought was just wrong. On the shelter's website, she was on the very bottom row of pics of adoptable cats. Almost like she was an after thought. I named her Hope and we had almost 4 years together until it was her time to also go over the bridge. She was beautiful, inside & out. Much gratitude and best wishes to this lady for also adopting cats no one wanted.

@@ReginaTrans_ ignore people who say that to you. Adopt some cats you will have unconditional love. People are mean.
I love that you asked for a cat that was not being adopted. I love that you accepted a bonded pair and that Black was OK with you! I have loved all my black and feral cats! :)
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I was always a dog person. Having spinal issues, when I thought about it for quite some time I decided to get a cat. There was a left over from a litter, a young cat no longer a kitten that had gone feral. I decided to give him a home. He hid in a closet for 12 days before he came out. I nuzzled his ear with my hand & that was it! I had named him "Kidd" after the 2 kids that helped transport him. I always believed that cats just ignored people. I later added the second part to his name "Kidd Velcro". If I am sitting or laying, he is on me wanting petting. I believe God set him aside for me. We are a perfect fit.
A local animal rescue has adoptions every Saturday, and they would post pics of the kittens online on Friday. They had two bonded black cats, a brother and sister. Week after week, month after month, these two were NOT getting adopted, and it broke my heart. After eight months I was like, that's it, and I went and got them. When I took them home I placed their carriers facing each other in the back seat, and at a traffic light I looked back and they had their paws touching like they were holding hands. Just like the cats in this video, mine are two little chatterboxes, never heard cats make the sounds they do. They are just adorable. Black cats get such a bad rap, but these two are such a joy to love and be loved by.
That’s a really lovely story. Cats are fantastic companions and I hope your two are with you a long time. Bless you.
bonded pairs or trios are always more difficult to rehome
My black cat is so sweet and affectionate at all times and is also a talker! House panthers are the best!
I did this with a betta fish who was sick. After four weeks of her little wiggle butt greeting me at my volunteering I knew I was taking her home.
👍👍👏💘💝💔
Black cats don't steal souls -- they steal hearts. "Sooty," "Felix," "Spud," and "Jinix" -- my black cat pals -- all gone but not forgotten.
I have 7 cats, two of which are black, and they’re the most vocal, silliest babies. Cats are life changing.
My husband and i adopted a bonded momma and daughter duo. Mom is all black, and daughter is a tuxedo. I knew black cats were harder to adopt out, but sfter adopting them i also learned that female cats are also harder to adopt out because they are more "aloof". Well let me tell you, the younger kitten spent all day curled up with me in while i was sick a few days ago, and mom was begging for pets and head scratches this morning when i got up after feeling better. I'm very thankful for my two black beauties. ❤
We had a black cat named, Reyna. Adopted her when she was around 10 years old from the shelter. She was so affectionate and loving, loved to be held & cuddled. She always greet our guests and friends. She sadly passed away a little over a year now. We had her for 10 extra years. So she was old, but lived a long and beautiful life. Our family misses her dearly.
Black cats are awesome!
They are special spirits, if anything happens to my BigBoy black cat, I'll have to get another immediately.
Yes they are!!
adopted at 10 and you gave her an amazing 10 years more :) Got the cat when my ex kicked meout, she got the cat. But well, it was annoying she thought. BEST cat ever - my cat is multi-color but always at my side when I go to bed lol
No matter the fur, they are awesome. kinda like people.
Bless you, i had 2 black cats, they are amazing
My black cat was the same - such an amazing cat. He was 19-20 when he passed 6 years ago...I miss him everyday. People need to know the joys of having a black cat in their lives. They tend to live long, too - everyone I know who has had or has one they are like 15 or older. My BIL's lived until 21!
I got a black female cat that was in the shelter for over a year. No one wanted her because she had a bad habit of chewing on cords. The moment I picked her up, I knew she was meant for me. I coated all the cords in my home with chili oil and gave her a stick to chew on instead. It worked perfectly and she is the most cuddly and affectionate cat I have ever had. I actually feel bad for the person who got rid of such a wonderful cat.
Black cats for some reason are the cuddliest, friendliest cats of all.
You can buy cord wraps now to protect your cords.
"Why do your cords all smell like chilli?"
"Because I love my cat, why?"
@@theusher2893 ..Or intelligent…I had a Black Burmese male who lived until 20 and all the other cats looked up to him as the wise old man.
@@theusher2893 I concur. My black cat was a stray that came up to me and my dog while on a walk and followed us home. I regularly wake up with her curled up in the crook of my arm and her paw on my chest
People who won't adopt black cats are just missing out on the chance to get a terrific companion. My Murphy was a BIG long haired black cat (21 lbs. of muscle). I adopted him with his sister as 7-week-olds and 3 weeks later got another brother sister pair of kittens that a client rescued from being drowned. Murphy was SUCH an amazing cat. He also seemed to be looking into my soul at times as well. It broke my heart when I lost him to cancer at age 10 and I still miss him to this day (RIP 2011)
She has such a beautiful smile maybe because it reflects her beautiful heart. Please kindly tell us more about your daily life with your cats.Big heart from Thailand.
I don't get why some people avoid black cats. To me they are some of the most beautiful and regal looking cats.
The most stunning cat I've ever seen in person, was a black cat with bright, green-jeweled eyes and the most beautiful feline coat I've ever seen....a young lady had the cat in her arms when she knocked on my front door....I was absolutely stunned and will never forget that moment....
Don’t try to understand stupid.
IF YOU THINKS SO LISTEN TO MY HORROR STORY NARRATED BY MR. CREEPS CALLED: WE WERE TOLD TO NEVER LEAVE THE FOREST, I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED...you wont regret it my fellow black cat lover 😈😎😇
little black panthers 😻
After owning a black cat and having others I can’t t believe how affectionate, protective and loving they are.
I'm a cat sitter and it's so true. One of my repeat clients has a black cat and he always gets cozy on my lap.
oh honey not all of them are....my ginny is a cantankerous bitch, lol....but I love her anyway and I get her, life is hard and sometimes we hiss.
black cats are the best
So true. I recently rescued a stray black kitten: he's gorgeous and loving ❤️
I ditto that. Very protective and cuddly.
Thank you for adopting these black cats. When we were young children, a black cat adopted us on Halloween night and stayed with us for the rest of his life.
I had a rescue cat named CoCo (after the Chanel fashion line) who said "momma". If I went outside, to the basement, or grocery , etc, I had to tell her goodbye, because my son told me she looked everywhere and screamed loudly "momma momma momma" over and over and became very distressed, anxious and inconsolable if i didn't. She would watch me mow the lawn from inside the house, and followed every step I took. I guess that was her way of thanking me for saving her from being euthanized. She died 10 years ago due to a vets negligence and misdiagnosis. I miss her so much. CoCo, I'll meet you and all the my other pets (at least 50 or so!!!) at Rainbow Bridge. I have cancer and have faith animals are there, as their souls are pure, devoted, selfless and loving. See you soon, CoCo, save me a spot on the porch swing!!
So many heartwarming cat stories start with "I was never a cat person, but then--" People just don't understand cats. Once you understand how they think and how they love you, they're incredible pets.
They are loving
For me the answer is very easy : i'm a cat person from birth ! i love all cat's , i remember child givin hug for stray cats cute or not smell flower or stink garbage no problemo ! and yes cats are incredible pets YES ^^
They look like Bombay's I have identical twin Bombay's..all black with the copper penny gold eyes. We also adopted them for the same reason. They are affectionate, verbal, athletic and great with children. They have an athletic build and sleek hair. Ours are so well behaved and a best friend . Thanks for your video. Adorable!
Yup yup thats true. I was never a cat person 'til i took a pity and started feeding a stray pregnant cat near my house. Now i have a small family of cats (a mama cat and her 3 kittens)
@@erystrife7095 Bless you, wonderf future to you all.
It is totally true that we are adopted by cats while we adopt them. My girl had been handed in twice to the shelter. I saw her profile online and decided she was the one - because she really needed help. She hissed and swiped almost everyone and had been mistreated. When I met her she licked my nose. Been 11 years now. She is approximately 16 and still gets the zoomies.
How wonderful! Hope you have many more years together.
Definitely, If my boy didn't decide that he liked me I don't think we would be as close as we are. Now he follows me everywhere and meows at me, one time he even kept me safe by not letting me go into the alleyway where some kind of drug exchange was happening. He just kept running in front of me and laying down (what he does for me to stop and pet him) he only let me go when I went in a different direction.
I feel you. The first cat I adopted was returned to the shelter 3 times. She was stand offish at first. I attributed it to her thinking she was just going to be sent back. But after a year or so she started to open up. Now she is my little shadow. I have 6 cats that were all adopted. My babies!
@@boyinblue. so smart! Congratulations to your cat!
Had mine for nearly 18 years, and that was exactly what happened. In the process of moving, my husband finds this goofy, friendly Egyptian looking kitten that pretty much demanded that he was coming home with us lol.
These boys are so wonderful! You are very blessed to have them in your life! I love and cherish my little black kitty, Levi, whose picture is right here. He's nearly fourteen now and he owns my home and my heart, the little dictator!
♥I adopted a black cat in 2018. He was picked up from the streets in the Bronx and transferred to a shelter in MA. He immediately got along with my daughter's cat and also gets along with our newest cat who joined the family 2.5 years ago. In the past 6 months, he has become more loveable and is actually seeking attention. Balck cats are awesome!
They are incredibly cute. These cats style of saying " mama" is so touching. They are precious.
They try to communicate.........
Because they have souls...
I don't understand why black cats are always the last to be adopted. I went to a kennel with no expectations as to what breed to choose, and my attention was drawn to this little runt in a cage, playing with one of his siblings. When the lady at the kennel handed me this kitten, she was watching me intently, and I looked down at this black kitten laying against my chest, with a white star on his, looking around and then he looked right up at me and his pupils narrowed then opened, and he stared at me for a good minute, and I told the lady that I imprinted on him, so I had to take him. It was a very special moment, and he was a very special baby, all the days of his life, for 17 years before he died.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I couldn’t agree more! I grew up with dogs, but my wife had 2 cats. I was amazed by how sociable and loving they were. They have been gone a long time now, but we have used the time well! We have taken the opportunity to adopt many more! We also have dogs and my cat loving wife is now in love with our dogs as well!
That's so awesome! One big happy family 😄
I recently rescued a stray black kitten: he's gorgeous and loving ❤️
When I was looking for a cat, I fell in love with a black cat named Casper. All the other cats were getting adopted, yet Casper, a senior cat, remained. The first night he was home, he sniffed and rubbed his head on everything and then plopped right in my bed with a look of “I’m home!” He’s now 10 and the best cat I’ve ever known. He’s also so well behaved as he never knocks stuff over and is so gentle and loving. He’s my best friend.
That's a nice story, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much but the fact that you said he was a senior cat when you got him & he’s now 10… my cat is 9 and I never thought of him as a senior cat 😭
🥰
you know that cat knows what you did for it and is forever appreciating your actions, now if thats, not a reason to adopt well there's plenty of other reasons but thats a pretty good one, well done Brian
Awwww 🥹
i adopted a unwanted black cat with cloudy eye. she was very scared and not friendly at all. but the car ride home she had her head in my hand like she knew i wanted to love and care for her. it took a lot of work and time til she was much more friendly and comfortable. love my Breeze, ( my cat).
What a kind lady you are and I'm sure your cat is very grateful 😘
These two look just like my Chester! Who is also very talkative, sweet, playful, smart... and also does the air chomps! Also... an accident. Lol
He was an outside cat when we bought our house. We built him a home on the wrap around porch. But, he was hurt. His tail had been broken off, but there was more bone left, than remaining tissue to heal around it. So every time it tried to heal, it just tore back open. Long story short, we took him for surgery, and they were able to tuck it, like you do a dog's tail. But a week long recovery inside, turned into a month... turned into a lifetime bond. He is now a very healthy, active 11 year old guy 🙂We got him a friend, to keep him young and happy. Little Stevie. We got her at 5 months old. Everyone who took her before, brought her back. I was even told that I could bring her back, if she was not what I was expecting. But, I saw her, and knew she was ours. And, that is what we wanted. One that no one wanted, that kept being thrown away. So they would never have to be rejected ever again!
She is now just over a year old, grey and white mink like fur. They have been so great for one another. Perfect, really. And they love each other so much! Chester is a little guy. So even at 11 years old, and she at only 1 year, they are the same exact size. Lol
(Wow... didn't mean to go on that long tangent... so sorry. Lol)
Same here!!! I’ve been a dog lady all my adult life. I had 6 of them, at one point. In ‘23, I became a cat lady - brought in a 1 year old van-pattern cat, and a 7 month old black cat. I am in love.
We have a black cat named Melina. My wife found her hanging around a local hardware store several years ago. The employees told her she had been there for some time and didn't know where she came from. They would feed her bites of their lunches and let her stay in a shed behind the store. When my wife went to get in the truck to leave, Melina followed her and jumped in, which is probably the smartest thing she could have done. Now, she's always got food and water, sleeps next to our kerosene heater in winter and gets petted all the time.
Melina found you guys in the Human's Who Deserve Me page of the Animal Times, planned her moving a date. And when your wife arrived, she was ready to move in.
I love your story Red 13 thank you 🖤🖤
Guess she was just waiting for the right family and your wife and you were it
That's because cats know a good person when they choose it.
👌👍
I had a black cat years ago, and it was the only cat I ever had that trained me to play fetch with him. He was really kind and affectionate towards people, but he was a hunter and a fighter by nature, he used to bring in dead prey, rats, lizards, birds, and he would place them in the pantry right next to his canned cat food, like he was saying that he could fend for himself, I guess he believed he was doing his part of the family chores. We had a really deep connection, I never told my mom when I was arriving home, but ten to fifteen minutes before I got there he was already waiting for me. When he died I felt his spirit go right trough me, I felt it. I miss my cat "Bijou" 'till this day.
You will see Bijou at the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge
I really enjoyed reading your story about Bijou! I am *sure* he knew how much you loved him.
Cats are very akin to people,they are such deep spiritual animals,Bijou is still there in spirit,that vibe you get is real, and even people here on CZcams can feel it
@Antonio Margallo what a touching story, it brought tears to my eyes. But, don't worry. Bijou is connected with you spiritually and, same as in the days gone buy, he'll know exactly when you'll be coming. So, 10 - 15 min before your arrival, he'll again be waiting for you. Give the gentle soul a big kiss from me when you finally see him.
That's funny because my little black Norwegian forrest cat started fetching as a 6 week old kitten. My husband and I will throw her toy mice and she'll run and jump to catch them and then bring them back and drop them at our feet. She's a trip. She almost 3 now and still loves fetching. She's so much fun, not to mention she's gorgeous! Love black cats!!
They are so gorgeous! The reason these two felines are well behaved, is YOU! You are there for them, you talk to them and engage with them. People need to know, that you only get out of an animal what you put into them. You are a very kind, understanding soul and your animal sense that. You are the perfect cat mother and cat-woman....I have three siblings, one is a jet black cat like yours, a ginger and a Tuxedo, rescued as tiny kittens from a drain. They are so sweet and the black one is a talker, she could talk for England! Too sweet! Animals need and love their humans. The reverse is also true. Wish you and your kitties well...stay safe 🐾❤️🐾
I adopted my cat from the pound a few years ago now. One of the workers told me that a lot of people have a bias against black cats, and I immediately thought that is stupid and ignorant. I left the pound that day with my beautiful, sweet and affectionate black cat. I wouldn’t trade him for any other cat on earth. Definitely adopt from a pound. You will not regret it! ❤
I've gotten all of mine from shelters, 7 in total.
I adopted a black cat this year and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. He is so sweet with me, so playful, and always wants attention. VERY vocal too, which is okay! He was in the shelter for such a long time and I cannot understand why. I'm just glad I could give him a good home. :)
Good for you!
Thank you for saving him! Oh beautiful cat-loving woman!
All the black cats I've had throughout my life were awesome, and they had wonderful personalities. I don't know why they are the hardest to adopt. They are beautiful!
superstition is one reason in a lot of places, others being: they look 'too boring' since people like pretty and exotic looking animals, also, and that's the newest and sadest thing ever imo: they are hard to take photos if and so they are not Instagramable... 🙄
Traditionally, black cats are associated with witchcraft and other evil things. Some people still take that seriously.
We just adopted a black stray kitty a couple months ago - he is a lover! We named him Boo and when we got him out of the woods he was starving :( all his little ribs were showing. He just weighed 10.5 lbs. at the vet a couple weeks ago. We feel so blessed to have him! ❤️
@@gggthsb That's not really new though, shelters have said for a long time that black animals are harder to adopt because they're hard to take photos of (when the shelters post photos of animals available for adoption online or on posters).
Black cats are the best. They are the all-or-nothing kind of cat. When they decided to love you, they would love you immensely. And vice versa. There's no in between. They're absolutely extraordinary.
So beautiful to give a home to these fur babies
Cats and dogs are both amazing, just different. These two are precious.
We lost our cat of 20+ years early this past November, we told ourselves we’d wait for a few months to decide if we wanted to get another one. That resolution lasted about a month, just before Christmas we adopted a beautiful, black cat of about 12 years who has been in the orphanage for nearly 11 years. He’s all black, even his whiskers and he has beautiful topaz-yellow eyes, he’s very sweet but kind of skittish, he was adopted out twice but returned both times. He has no worries now, we’ve had so many cats and infinite patience for their quirks and personalities, he’s found his forever home at last.
❤❤❤
I'm sure yall had alot of good memories together, RIP in heaven or in the great beyond. 😺😺
@@bryanx5829 Thank you. She was the queen of all she surveyed and kept all the other cats in line. We’ll miss her forever.
It broke my heart when you said he had been there for 11 years. Thank you so much for adopting him and may you enjoy and love him for many years to come.
@@dianaschreier2754 Thank you, it broke our hearts, too and we knew we had to adopt him. It wasn’t a horrible life there, we went to to meet him and the people who work there and have a look around, it was nice and clean and you could tell the staff loved them all but it was still an orphanage for cats. He’s sweet but he has trust issues as any cat or person would. We have (hopefully) a long time for him to adjust to being the center of attention and getting all the love he wants. Best wishes and happy new year to you. Take care.
I’ve adopted a black cat from our vet office. She was the last one to be adopted and I absolutely love her. She is amazing and is 17 years old. 💕
You are amazing too! 💖
They are my favorite!
Had one that made it to 24.
She demanded and got 4 oz. Of milk a day for her last 16 years.
They look like little black panthers. ♡ Black cats are a symbol of royalty in Egypt, good luck in Asia, and bad luck in America. ♡🐈⬛🦁
❤
Words can’t thank you enough for givin these two a luving,furever home and mom.
My Bombay, Bean, is 20 years old and he’s so talkative and affectionate. Just like these cats 🥰
I adopted two female black cats from the same litter 3 years ago, and one of them makes that "mama" sound. It melts my heart every time.
When one of her toms curled her claws and paw around her finger - I aw'ed. (had a tom that did the same thing - still miss that love sponge)
My sister passed away in August of last year; I was at her house, taking care of her during her last month on earth. She had a black cat, Lando who we thought was going to a friend of hers.....last minute, friend couldn't so I TOOK HIM HOME WITH ME. It was a 9 hour car ride, and I already have a female - it was the best decision! I love having him part of our family.
Aww!
You did the right thing they are adorable 🥰 and your sister is happy 😃 because you take care of her baby
Bless your already beautiful heart.
So sad and its so sweet of you
Sincere condolences. Thank you for sharing.
We got our first cat from a feral litter and he turned out to be a beautiful Bombay. So affectionate. So smart. What a gem!!!
Cats of every fur-color are wonderful !! Also , in England and Japan black cats are considered to be GOOD LUCK !!
These siblings are incredibly gorgeous!! I love their personalities. They were so meant to have you as a pet parent... They absolutely adore you!
The world needs more people like you.
Definitely
I second that thought!!
I second that thought!!
Black cats are my new favorite…they are so loving.
❤🙏Blessings on the kind souls who embrace and love the so called imperfect ones ,animals, humans , plants ,or other!❤🙏
Black cats are the most gentle of them all and so friendly. Unfortunately, haters always target them first. I lost two last year. These two so beautiful. Nothing in the universe like a cat.
"I lost two last year.", a cat is an INDOOR animal. INDOOR. Cats aren't supposed to live outside! If you put them outside due to bathroom issues, you'd be overjoyed to learn that you can train a cat to use the TOILET!! You can train any cat of any age to use the toilet, as i've done with my two cats. Lots of videos on yt about it.
@@terryadams2652 Cats are not indoor animals, studies prove that the everyday cat travels over 3 miles whenever outside.
That's genetic, you can't teach that, also they have fur. Fur is to protect animals from the enviroment.
My cats were allowed outside, they died of old age. But they went outside whenever they wanted and was allowed to stay inside whenever they wanted. Sometimes you wouldn't see them all day, but they would always come back happy and healthy because they was getting the correct amount of exercise.
Same with dogs, they are outdoor animals, hence why their fur will go bad if they're stuck indoors too long. Same goes with cats, they need the outside climate, not indoor heated climates. It's okay to have your cat indoors, but they need to spend time outside and get their healthy 3 miles of exercise each day.
The normal cat whenever outside will hunt and chase rodents and birds, climb buildings, protect their territory and engage with other cats. Remove that from a cat and it's no longer living how it's suppose to be.
More proof that cats are outdoor animals. My cats would ASk to go outside because they did not like staying inside all day.
@@CristanioPeweyyy Exactly!!
Cats are outdoor/indoor animals.
I can understand in some places where there are dangerous predators and people keep their cats indoors, but they still need to go outside, even if it's on a leash.
I live in the UK and most people allow their cats outside when they want. It's physically and mentally better for them.
@@pinkballoon8181 Mine have too much energy or start picking fights if they're kept indoors for too long. I only keep them inside around newyear period and other times when it might be dangerous. I do get them inside at night. Cats definetly don't like lockdowns. I get it if you live somewhere dangerous for them to go out, but they are made by and for nature, all animals are, humans included. Well maybe not chiuhuahuas or pugs lol, but those are pretty much inbred.
@@CristanioPeweyyy "The normal cat whenever outside will hunt and chase rodents and birds" - Thats exactly the problem. Outdoor cats cause MASSIVE environmental damage, kill countless birds and wildlife and have even caused several species to go extinct.
Your outdoor cats living to old age are outliers. The average age for an indoor cat is around a decade more than an outdoor cat. Indoor cats also have significantly less health issues. Thats a fact.
I love hearing of non-cat people who finally see see the light.
I have solid black, short haired kitty and he is super chatty! Talks all the time. Yells at me all the time too 😂. Thinks he owns the house, and thinks he's in charge.... and I adore him. ❤
They're so adorable! God bless you for adopting unwanted black cats. I've had several and they steal your heart. They're protective like no other. 🥰
I can't believe people won't adopt a black cat. They are gorgeous.
We adopted black cat, cos no one wanted him. He has been with us 14 years now, he is much older, but still the same best friend of ours!
@@poppyaustin7315 14 years that’s amazing
They are so sweet. I had a black cat once. Her name was sheba. She galloped across the floor like a dog. And you could pick her up , and let her legs just hang. I would pet her side of her butt, kinda hard. Not to hurt her. When I would stop, she would bite my hand to continue. I loved her so much. She had alot of siamese in her. When she mowed in a very deep cat voice. Anyway I can relate. Love your cats.
That's really sweet. I miss my old black cat Butter. Very reserved but deeply trusting of me, and not too proud to sleep beside me when his mom, my ex, was away on work trips. He lives with her now, bc they bonded more when he was a kitten. I kept the house lol
How wonderful to rescue these adorable cat brothers. I can see they both have fab personalities and are very handsome and cute .❤ xxx
What a sweet, kind story.
I love black cats. People are really missing out when they don’t take them. So glad you took them and that they are such beautiful blessings.
I adopted two street kittens after having only dogs my whole life. Cats are wonderful animal companions. Didn't know what I was missing!
Cats are the best. Just inherited my Uncles cat.
Same with one of my pals, he always had dogs growing up and hated cats...until he found a kitten in his back yard and nursed it back to health. He now has more pics of the cat on his phone than his wife and kids.....
@@greekpapi 😭🤣
@@LoneLee2022 Thank you for taking in your uncles cat! some people would not be so kind
@@NaneelQueenOfDarknes Had to. I love cats.
I adore black cats. Love them. ❤️ I just rescued a black kitten yesterday. The other three strays got adopted, no one wanted little Bean. Happy you have them.
Two incredible cats. You are lucky to have them.
I recently got a senior rescue cat that is black. I was shocked when the told me they have a hard time placing black cats. She is absolutely the sweetest, most loving cat I have ever seen!! Glad you adopted the pair!!
We have numerous cats, and the black cats are all incredibly snuggly and loving. Superstition makes people do stupid things. I love our black cats.
Its hard for shelters and rescues to place black dogs too
The secret to cats interacting with their owners is spending a lot of quality time bonding with them. You get out of it what you put into it. If people did this, they would realize just how intelligent cats really are.
I agree, my cat waits for me to get home and walks across the street to greet me
Yeah
yes, and they're very intuitive
So very true!
This is a VERY unusual cat. Not only well behaved, but incredibly intelligent. He is so luck to have so many toys to play with, which helps improve his mind. My mother's cat was half Angora, sweet, and intelligent---pawing the doorknob to get out. We had a black cat, too, but his only trick was taking a nap! Thank you SO MUCH for posting this video. Thank your daughter for being so perceptive and wise.
It's very unusual for a cat to be well behaved and intelligent?! Not in my experience. In 40 plus years as a cat mom, I've only ever had one truly dumb cat. He was taken from his momma way too young and just never matured properly. He was very sweet, just dumb as a post (think jumping on top of the lit wood stove, burning his feetsies, then doing it again a few weeks later - he would burn his feet several times every winter). I've also never had a badly behaved cat. Sure they get the zoomies from time to time, and you have to teach them boundaries, but if you put in the effort, they do actually listen and learn. "stop" is always the first lesson, but they pick up what other words mean too, if you are consistent and treat them with respect. Treats and words of praise help instill certain behaviors, too.
If you want a "bad" cat, bully them and/or don't give them much attention. It's not rocket science.
Thank you for adopting 2 together! Beautiful Balk cat! My first cat was also a black one! My husband picked from the street to bring home. I was a dog-favor person and did not anything about cats then. She was so bright and so lovable when she came to my house. Then, I started learning more about cats, and the more I knew about her, the more I fell in love with her.🥰
Then I got 2 Russian blue brothers from Bleeder and fell in love. And One day, a homeless male cat came to my front porch, I started feeding him. One day, he cried so hard at my front door. Guess what? he brought his girlfriend's cat and asked me to provide her the food. They were always together on my porch and ate together. A couple months later, guess what? The girl cat brought me cute kittens One by One to bring to my front door. Total of 3 kittens. I already had 4 cats inside of my house. But I was trying to rescue all, including mom cat. I took them to the vet, and after 8 weeks, I tried to take a showcase at Pet Mart for the adoptions. But No one adapted. So, here I am adapting the entire family except for Daddy Cat. I really liked his personality, but I could not find him anywhere.
However, 10 years since then, I still have all of them together; they are my family! Mommy cat still cares for them, kissing and sleeping together, and they think they are still kittens.
I hope many people will find how sweet and lovable cats are and adopt homeless cats to find a lovely home for them. 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻💝
We had a black cat. He loved to listen to classical music! He was quite smart. He passed away about a year ago and we miss him very much.
My Black kitty Luna was the smartest, strongest cat we ever had. She dissappeared afew months ago.
I miss my black cat 🐈⬛️
He abnormally had a very human-like face, lol. Very handsome.
Black cats bring luck. I have one.
@@jennyoyster5054 yeah my black cat too and their fur is the smoothest.
This sounds like my story. I had to send, Tigger, an 18-year-old black cat Home. Since I was 61, I decided I would not have anymore cats. A couple weeks later a friend of mine PM me and told me there were two brothers who were two years old who needed a home. They had been looking for a permanent home for them all this time. Well, they are with me. Two lovely, kind gentle black cats. I am so grateful to those who fostered these two cats until I was ready to adopt them. They were meant to be with me.
61! Mona, 61 is young! You’re not anywhere near finished living yet. Sounds like you needed a sign that said as much. So in waltzed two, beautiful black cats.
so glad,you n they were indeed BLESSED😇🥰😍😊🐈⬛🐈⬛
MONA BIEHL, BLESS YOU. HAVE MANY YEARS OF JOY AND LOVE WITH YOUR NEW BABIES. 😸😺
absolutely..100 and over not 2 old to adopt ... love and be loved:)
🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have a 16 year old female Bombay and a 5 month old Bombay named Princess. They are fabulous! I never tire of seeing them play and taking care of them. They’re precious!
They are absolutely gorgeous black beauties of cats. 🥰🥰🥰
I had a black cat named Sebastian and he talked very clearly! He called me “Mama,” would say “no, “and “hello!” He went over the Rainbow Bridge last year at the age of 16 yrs! Black cats are very smart and chatty!
That sounds like a beautiful feline. He's over the rainbow bridge will all the catnip and treats ❤
This is one of the cutest things that I have ever see. That baby REALLY does say "mama." These two brothers are gorgeous beyond words with incredible personalities.
its ironic because the names are from the simpsons and they would never act like how the cats acted
I have had male black cat I rescued once when it was a baby. It was the best cat I ever had. Just about all my fur babies called me mama. It is so hilarious to hear it on here. Love it!
My black cat Bugsy just died. He was so friendly and cuddly and I was his favorite. Thanks for taking in the hard to adopt. Gosh I love cats!
You have as much personality and spunk as your 2 beautiful cats! I had a cat that fetched. So unexpected, isn't it?
Everything she says about black cats is true. They are real characters. We loved ours so, so much. ❤️
I adopted a sad little black cat at the shelter and I must say, she is the most loving cat ever. Every time I feel sad, stressed out, frustrated she comes to me and lays on my lap. I love her so much.
I had a black cat that I named Coalby. She had a very dark coal color to her coat with very faint stripes. Both of her parents were tabby cats. She had a grey sister as well. She was a very bright personality, and I had given her to a friend who gave her to a neighbor. The neighbor was relocating and couldn't take her, so I took her back, but her momma didn't. I fed her once on my desk, and after that, she just expected it there. I gave her to a cousin, and after 13 years, her health was going downhill, so they put her to sleep. My cousin said that she was their all time favorite cat, and I can agree.
Cats, ALL animals that are bonded with you seem to sense when you're in turmoil or ill or whatever. It is so amazing, isn't it?
My fiance and I adopted a 3 year old black cat. At the adoption center, he was the only one who sat next to me and tried to get my attention, and inmediately knew he was the one.
I love him, he is just so adorable, calm, and his meows are so soft, he certainly helped me with my depression, now I start my days much more motivated.
Beautiful story. Thank you for giving them a loving forever home.
Bart says clearly -mama, mama- Both cats are gorgeous, so loving, gentle, and so smart. Black cats are very affectionate, good hunters, very smart and charming. Very vocal too. Thank you kind lady for adopting these two little brothers together. You saved their lives !!! :)
My friend always had dogs, but ended up with a cat after his cousin passed away from Cancer. His cousin had three cats - two of them were kittens and were easy to rehome. The woman at the rescue asked him to keep the older cat because they are harder to adopt. He has had Molly, who is a black cat, for over a year now and absolutely loves her. She also plays fetch like the cats in the video.
Bless this rescuer for adopting them❤
I’m glad the person adopted them and I’m glad both these gorgeous cats have a good home😁
I adopted a black cat from a shelter here in Tasmania 9 years ago. He was also there for 4 months because he was always being overlooked and 6 years old. Still have him and the best desicion ever in adopting him.
I have had 2 black cats, Shadow lasted 19 yrs , Solomon is now going on 8 they have been the Joy of my life. I now also have a ginger tabby l rescued from the streets. Such wonderful little souls. All cats are great. People give cats a bad rap, if you don't like cats it is because you don't understand them.🐈😺❣️❣️😻
I also adopted a 6yr old black cat named Zulu. When you rescue a cat from the shelter they KNOW it, and are so grateful and loving to you. My Zulu was really loyal & protective of our other pets. Once he fought off a Doberman Pincher that came after another of our cats. And another time he fought off a huge roaming dog that came into our yard to attack our own dog. Zulu was brave & fearless. (p.s. Zulu was not harmed in fighting off those dogs, as I also intervened to save him)
How sad I didn’t realize they had it so badly I know I got a jet blk kitty I luv him so much I am thankful I have him
Omgosh they are so sweet! Black cats are so velvety gorgeous, I don’t understand why they are adopted last! Wonderful story! ♥️🐈⬛♥️🐈⬛😊
This is so sweet. Love black cats
My Katie was the best cat I've ever had. She lived in Texas, Florida, Maine, Hawaii, Italy and back to Texas, survived cancer and lived to be 16. She rests in my backyard now, where I can see her spot from my computer chair. Miss her still, even after 7 years
My black kitty Lou live to be seventeen he died eight years ago I still miss him he was so sweet I hope he happy over the Rainbow with your cat.
I had a katie tabby and white sweetest cat would say heyow to anyone who came to the door and would keep saying it until they said hello back, i loved that cat, sadly she got under some diy cement bags and plastic arcatrave in my basement, and the plastic fell cement dust must have got in her ears my big mistake was taking her to rspca to see if they could flush her ears for me she was having vertigo, this vet was definitely a dog man tipped her out with no regard i complained he was told she had got cement in her ears and got vertigo could he flush her ears this is shocking bit.. He said no not that she has a cancer in her ear has to be putbto sleep! I said no its just yesterday it happened no its not going to happen he said i can call the police if you leave, its under animal welfare you signed a form that gives me the right, you cant take this animal out of here now ive decided! With no exam apart from looking in her ears he took poor katy from me and called a woman to hold her i complained that i wanted another person to see her he said either she stays and i put her to sleep tomorrow or now, only choice i go home in ten minutes. I had no choice on my own, wishing id never gone there, the door was locked and the woman stood by it, they put her to sleep in my arms, i took her little body home, on three buses felt helpless. I wrote to head office but got a reply saying it must have been in the animals interest no never again will i go there support them or give to them. Cats protection is great i use them for advise help and they are amazing.
@@pjarman8874 that’s the saddest story I ever heard omg 😳
@@pjarman8874 Why didn't you make him call the police ? I don't see what you had to lose and surely detaining someone in a room with the door locked is illegal ?
@@delphinepallud9030 he made it clear he wouldnt back down and waved the signed paper at me, i said id like to get a second opinion, knowing she just needed to have ears flushed under anesthetic, he said he was certain she must have a tumour, and that signing that form gave him powers to decide what was best interest of the cat, no name mentioned, the cat. Believe me i tried i was behond a table against a window him on outside of it i didnt even get the chance to grab the cage shove her in quick and go being as the vets was shutting thats why she was at the door hes still there i think, was 2010, when she was killed, i made it known on facebook to my friends and the vet i had after, and he was disgusted with the blackmail treatment we had had, was further still away, if only id had him sooner but far out of my area, didnt know they had an xray there, googled nearest with one it was only vet rspca where i am with xray nearby. You would have been great to take with me may have got us out of there to cap it all i had a bill for killing her in post that week, £50 x
