- Do cats love us as much as we love them? Or do they view us merely as a provider of resources? Shorty, Kodi and their guardian give their perspective in this study/BBC mockumentary. (Note this is not necessarily a response video directed at the BBC's showing of preliminary research results but this is a general response to any who question the affection cats show to their humans.) Music is Perspectives by Kevin MacLeod, www.incompetech.com.
the poor thing misses his owner and grabs his toy for comfort. showing how much he misses his owner.
Shelly Blanchard looking good sir!
Kingzgamer lol :)
awww
Shelly Blanchard it made me sad
yes me to
im away from home 8 hours per day. thinking my cat might be calling for me breaks my heart :(
We humans live several times longer than cats do. Just imagine how long 8 hours would feel like to a cat? For them, you'd been away for a day or two each time..
WOW i didnt think about that
Your cat probably does :(
M. Evripidou
Please don't let your cat every day alone at home. If you can't let her out get her at least a companion!
I know my cat calls for me. The neighbors tell me they can hear him for several hours after I leave the house.
Excuse me how am I supposed to leave my cat at home and go out ever again now
Melissa B I know....mine waits for me in the window n cries just while im getting the mail or something frm the car!❤
You can't. You're a stay at home human now.
Omg ikr? My cat was stray n homeless. He stayed around where I work, one day I decided id adopt him. He is so sweet and loving. Even when I just go to the garage for a cigarette he goes to the door meowing for me. Hate to imagine him at home pleading for affection without me around.
Get them a companion so they aren’t completely alone. My cat has our dog. I think they take care of each other while we’re gone.
Exactly
The cat literally walked around crying with a squeaky toy in his mouth and I can’t handle how sad that is!
My cat doesn't even like it when I'm in the bathroom too long.
My cat scratches my bathroom door when I am in
Mine used to to that when she was just a kitten. Now she just sleeps all day :-)
gurlzrool hahahah mine too! she gets mad at me because that's the exact moment and wants to come in a sleep in the sink! goofy furrball :)
He jumps up the bathroom door when I'm in there too long... it's too cute...
Infamous Onion Cutting Ninja! Aww that's too cute
I had a cat that used to sleep with me, and once she had given birth to 4 kittens , she brought them to me at night to bed , so I got scared to smash them by accident and went to sleep downstairs in the living room, after 10 mins she comes to sleep with me, then goes upstairs and bring her kittens one by one .... can we call that trust ?
+Nassim B. That's really cute. My cat will never stay still to sleep with me. He's always have to do something like opening doors to everything, looking out the window from every room waking everyone up. I started to put him in his cage since then. He was good boy who would sleep quietly on my bed with me when he was young. I wonder what happened. I don't think I have bad sleeping habits. at least that's what I think.
Love it
How did ur cat bring her kittens? In her mouth lol
+Iqra Islam yes
+Nassim B. Cute!!
I was not a cat person when, almost a year ago, I adopted a kitten that had been abandoned. As a result, I have possibly been more attentive to her behaviour, because I did not know what to expect. When she came to me I thought that she would not survive the week because she was in such a poor state. However, after months of bites and scratches, one of which took me off to A&E, she is now my delightful companion.
Friends tell me that she follows my every move, ignoring them, and if I move out of her sight, then she moves until she can see me. Recently, I have been unwell, and on a few occasions went to bed during the day. She followed me as usual, but then did things she had not done before. She jumped on the bed, but instead of curling up, as she normally does, at the end of the bed, she gave me a thorough examination, sniffing all over my body, gently touching me with her paws, usually where I was most in pain, and then licking my hands and face. Having determined that I was unwell, she curled up as close as possible to me, even lying in my arms, which she still is nervous about. Like the cat in the video, she had food, water and her litter trays, so she was not trying to manipulate me. She was showing genuine concern. One time I even woke to find that she had crawled under the blanket to get closer to me, yet normally she will run away if I try to cover her. I think all that this shows that her desire to look after me was stronger than her dislike of being covered, and being cuddled.
I must admit I never expected a cat to be so obviously attached to me.
Philip Meers HOLY MOLY YOUR CAT LOOKS IDENTICAL TO MY CAT
This made me cry a little bit. Thanks for sharing this adorable and lovely story! Cats are amazing
Cats are very attached to their owners ..!! There are jus too many myths about them..!!
@@user3555 Honestly, that was what I was thinking too! My very first cat (a kitten from the streets) had the same markings just as the cat in his profile. My cat lived for nearly 16 years.
@@dr.ramasharma-phdsanskritv4292 Especially for black cats...they get treated so unfairly just because of some stupid movies and theories that black cats “bring bAd lUcKkkK”
My heart and my soul are completely shattered by how unbelievably sad that cat got when his owner left.
it broke my heart seeing that cat meow for such a long time searching for his human. being a cat person even someone else's sad cat makes me incredibly sad.
fahad nazir that's so cute of you to say. I simply do not understand non-cat people!
I actually almost cried because I'd hate to see my own cat like that
I swear my cat acts like that when my husband is away on business. We all know that cat loves him and only tolerates us. Lol. It is so sad because I try everything to comfort him but he just wants his daddy. Sweet to know how much he loves my husband.
fahad nazir same
Heather Bullard reading your comment made me giggle a little to myself because I call myself my cats mommy and Sparta is my baby
I once had a white Turkish Angora (Jean-Pierre) who had never really showed me one bit of affection. Oh, he'd sit in my lap for the occasional ear-rub and come to get his food, when called. Yet, one night, when my ex-husband got violent with me (the first and last time) and I had to call the authorities on him, I was sobbing inconsolably on the sofa afterward, and do you know, that cat shimmied itself up under my chin and stayed there FOR HOURS with me? I will never forget that! My mother and sister were astonished, at the way he remained "glued to" me for the next few days following that incident.
Betsy Collins wow
Yup cats can feel that, when my wife is sad or just emotional sometimes our cat scoots up to her almost instantly. Or when she isn't feeling well you can already see the little ball of fur with her in bed - purring all the time. Cats are wonderfull creatures and can be just as loyal as dogs.
Bless your heart! And your cat's.
Kudos for getting away.
***** ...because he is a narcissist and a sociopath. His violent streak erupted when he realized that he could no longer "get my goat" (you know, make me mad, sad, etc.). That's the narcissist's greatest fear is being rendered powerless. Then, they must find other relationships to be what is called, a "supply." That was so many years ago and I am much happier now to be free of the cancer that he was!
***** You know what, FIRST I did not even have to answer your question. Second, it is incredibly troll-like and deliciously low of you to make such assumptions-invalid ones at that. You have no class, no manners, and no finesse at social skills. I will be blocking you this evening. I just wanted to be sure you received this message, though I am sure you have heard it SCORES of times before from the masses of people you insult not only with your words (but with your odious presence as well), you are just too stupid to give any credence to the fact that it might contain some truthful insight into what is wrong with you, when you are seen through the eyes of another person.
When owner comes home:
“It’s not like I missed you or anything, b-Baka”
*scratches human*
Oml why would you say that OWO

SOMEBODY PET THAT CAT RN BEFORE I BREAK INTO YOUR HOUSE TO DO IT FOR YOU
Hear, hear!
Ikr I wanted to bust through the screen and love on him. That mewing was just too much
I don't get how people have ever even considered this lol. My family had a cat named Scoot for 17 years, my dad rescued him from a garbage dumpster getting attacked by red ants when he was just a little kitten, only a few days old. That cat loved my father until the day he died. Every day he would wait outside on the front porch right around the time my dad would come home from work and would immediately jump into his arms and meow like a little baby. It wasn't because he was hungry because we always fed him lunch right before my dad would come home. He was just that attached to my father. He would also go hunt and leave presents on our doorstep all the time lol, but mostly he would leave it by my dad's car right in front of the driver's door. I'll never forget the night he got hit by a car and died... it didn't kill him but he was suffering terribly. We brought him to the vet to be put to sleep to put him out of his misery. My dad hysterically cried and all Scoot kept doing was licking my dad's face and his hands and purred slightly until he slowly went to sleep. We've had plenty of dogs but that cat changed all of our lives and I've never had any animal as fantastic as that cat. My dad still misses Scoot and we still have his collar and my dad still believes that Scoot was comforting him when he kept licking him as he died. Cats are amazing creatures and I'm tired of them being misunderstood
grvtii this made me tear up. such a beautiful and sad story
grvtii This was such a beautiful story. Brought tears to my eyes. God bless your beautiful cat
A very moving story. I totally understand.
What the fuck who put these onions next to me
grvtii Hey!! That would make a wonderful book!! Just add in more stories about Scoot and your Dad and I would bet it would be published. I would buy it!! Look at all the movies they make based on dog stories....
A few years ago, there was a stray kitty that was born outside my house. Her mom was a real meanie, always hissing and swatting away her own kids. The little kitty was not friendly and would run away as soon as she saw someone come near. Well, one day I was crying outside on the stairs when this lil kitten came. She stared at me crying, and all of a sudden she came up to me and started meowing. She actually let me pet her, and she curled right up to me! I have never seen anyone else touch her, but I think in that moment she knew I was hurting and needed some comfort. Since that moment I was truly convinced animals really can understand us.
Everytime i was rly sad and felt alone my cat came to me too and comforted me by purring and sitting at my lap. Maybe we sound like little baby kitten when we cry? :D
Thats awesome! I had a cat like that once as a kid, anytime id start crying she would literally run up to me and try to comfort me.
I just teared up a bit omg
The suffering of others is what amused them
Tiff Panini when I was experiencing depression I would come home and lay in bed and cry and my cat would come sit on my chest and nudge my face. She had never done it before and I think I started crying happy tears.
Cats are VERY misunderstood. Did you know their brain is biologically more similar to human than to a dog's? They are faithful, dog-like, you don't need to bathe them, walk them. A perfect companion!!! They've even saved lives!!!
You need to bathe sphynx cats bc they get oily
They are manipulative like children lol. Mine are sooo manipulative and smart it’s hard to keep up with their shenanigans. Mine also work as a team.😩 They can get through childproof locks, open cabinets, open freezer and refrigerators, can unscrew cabinet handles, and even more strange they unscrewed, and busted through the seal of a big peanut butter jar.🤦🏽♀️
Cat = big brain maths genius
@@wandachristian1884 one of my cats used to knock on the bathroom door when I was in and put his paws under to try to break in lol. My other cat who just passed 😥 he was so sweet and weird and he used to open cabinet doors where he knew I kept the cat food. Then make me chase him around the house knowing I couldn't catch him, he would wait at the steps haha. I love cats and hope I can adopt a couple in the near future.
Miss you Alex & Chad 🐈💕
Cats have a memory spanning sixteen hours and can perform on the same mental level as dogs. The difference is the cat can choose not to perform an identical task where a dog does it compulsively to please the owner.
Cats have a sense of self awareness. They know when their owners are gone and that they have to wait for attention...and they don't like it.
I lived with our cat, Samantha, for the second half of my teen years and she would use action cues to ask to lay down with me. If I told her "no", she would sit near me on a blanket. If I told her "yes" or "okay", she would climb onto my chest and we would nap together.
She learned how to do this with me by only reacting to my voice. Samantha understood the tonal differences between "yes" and "no". Cats are quite intelligent.
are you sure only 16 hours, because when i was 13 years old all 7 of us went to hawaii for my brothers wedding, and when we returned, he remembered i was his favorite, and approached me first, like i never left.
cats having a memory span of only 16 hours is as ridiculous wrong as saying goldfish only have a memory span of 3 seconds.
@@joi1794 it's just describing the short term memory. A better statement is that they can internalize anything that can be done or learned in that span. Human short term memory can last weeks.
Cats and dogs can actually understand some words. As in, genuinely knowing what we're saying and what it means.
Only 16 hours? I moved out of my mom's house but could not bring my cats with me ): I visited my mom 2 years later and they more than remembered me. my cat truffles was not a people cat well Except for me and he would not leave my side the whole time I was there.
My granny died. Her part Siamese cat Baby Girl was happily adopted by me. When, after several years, Baby Girl saw granny's old couch again, she went down my hall meooowing just like this, calling for granny. I cried & cried & hugged Baby Girl. We both missed Granny.
T^T im happy you two have each other.
I'm glad you kept her. I see quite often when someone passes away no one in the family wants to keep the pet/or some reason can't. (they are family members too)
So thank you ❤
c'est trop triste ton histoire :'(
oh that so sad😢😢😢😢
shar san so sad😭

I share a flat, my flatmat has no idea how to treat a cat but he is the cats provider. The cat ignores him all day apart from feeding time. I am really good with animals, cats especially, and the cat constantly plays (even bringing toys), fusses, misses and loves me.
Most animals respond in kind to the right treatment.
I love cats
My cat hates me
I agree. I think that most cats, when shown care, attention, & affection (on their terms, sometimes they need alone time) will reciprocate.
^ why do some men do that
@Pink Guy incel
Answer, very attached. They remember you. I went away for a year and came back to my cat she was hiding up in the rafters and gave a pathetic meow as if she couldnt believe i was back. Came down and was all kinds of lovey dovey rubbing. 😻
That’s awesome!
I don't get why people are in denial of this topic. A well cared cat can become a good companion
Da Dragon Durp People who say cats aren't affectionate hasn't seen mine.
Da Dragon Durp when ever i go to school my cats all ways waits for me in my room
Dean Cutler i love cats. I still really dont know why some people hate them. Now, i used to hate cats, but ill explain everything now. So when i was little i would always hate cats. ( i never ever had had a cat, and my mother was allergect to them) but then when i was 5 i got a cat called henry i loooooveeeeddddd him sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. My neighbours who were allergect to cats caught him and took him to the pound. We had to go get him from the pound. Later my nan and grandad couldnt care for him anymore because of the neighbours allergy and we gave him away to a farm. Originally, when we went to rspca in the first place to get him, we were only there to look. But i saw henry and begged to keep him. Anyways, quite a few years later we got two cats called angel and pearl. They are tortishell cats. We also took in a female ginger stray cat called sandstorm and later gave her a nice home. After we gave sandstorm away, we got two new kittens. Pearl passed away very recently when we found her dead on the side of the road :( rip pearl. Now also, the kittens were angels neices. When they were born, at some point my friends mum who used to own them asked about the kittens at the vet. The vet said because the kittens parents were brother and sister, the vet said ALLL OF THE KITTENS IN THE LITTER WERE GOING TO DIE AFTER TWO WEEKS. But actually, months later im like, "vet..... are you kidding me?" and actually, sasha and mika the kittens are pretty smart. I taught them to shake hands and high five in only two days.
Wow thanks for reading
I don’t understand it either ,but there’re so many things that get hated for no reason.
I've had friends and relatives who don't even like cats say that they would gladly take mine if I became unable to care for him. A properly socialized cat can win over people as quickly as a properly socialized dog.
I already know that my cat loves me, but i like the validation all the same
Briana Peterson if you died in your house and no one found you for a couple days they’d eat you
@@wolfcub1835 why am i laughinf at this response
This is the exception not the rule
John Podesta isn’t it crazy tho like I’m scared to die in my own home now
Wolf Cub that just means they are pragmatic!
When I realized my mom was not coming out of hospital I cried histerically on the floor...my cat came rushing to my face ...rubbing her face against mine as I was crying nonstop...I could feel she was genuinely concerned for me....
The meowing broke my heart :'(
people who say that cats aren't attached to their owners never owned a cat themselves.
lefr33man yep
Yep, I can safely say that in my opinion cats are way better than dogs. I know this cause I've had both before.
No cats are not better than dogs. They are both just as good as the other. It just depends on what you like.
I love dogs. And always said I like them better. But I just got a cat and haven't had one in years and he's pretty cool too.
Thank you!
I went away for two weeks and left my cat with a catsitter. When I came home, she was asleep. I came and tapped her, and she stared at me a while, like she couldn't process that I was back, then meowed as loud as she could and got up and jumped at me. I held her so long and cried lol
Several years ago I needed to go out of town for weeks at a time, and then I would come home for a month or two, and then leave for a couple more weeks. My son and my mom would care for my cat, but every time I got back home she'd run out to the car and meow and meow until I spent time with her, like she missed me. She also would follow me whenever I would check the mail or take the trash out
that is true love
My cat is very audible when I come home from vacation lol
I will jump up on my bed and she will hop up on my chest and rub her face all over me while meowing lol
I relate completely.
Most fun thing is if they try to give you the cold stare and totally ignore you because they feel like they need to be offended for at least a while, but fail to follow through and finally come running to cuddle after a few minutes of silent treatment, purring like a motor boat...^^
This is something I have known since I was 3 years old. "My kitty Loves me."
My childhood cat, Rusty, would lick my tears off my cheeks everytime I cried.
He would find me, no matter where I was in the house,to cuddle and lick my tears away .
Yes people, if you love and cherish your kitty, they will love and cherish you back. 💜😻
my cats also did it to me... 🥺❤️
@@GestaYuria That is so sweet ❤ I miss my Rusty. :(
I would lay in bed or on the floor during depressive episodes, and Motmot (our cat) would come lay down next to my head to cuddle and purr to help me feel better.
I lost my cat Jasper yesterday to cancer
I had him for 15 years and I can assure you he cried my attention and love .
Nothing to do with food, water or the litter tray .
Of course they are attached to their owners that is without question
When he was dying I held him in my arms and told him how much I loved him
My kitty and I have a very loving connection. People have told me that they've never seen a bond like ours. When I go out she cries a lot and does one very odd thing that her vet is astounded by. If I'm gone a few hours she will find her toys and then she lines them up in a perfectly straight line. My vet said she does that when she experiences separation anxiety. No matter where in my house I am she's there. When we go to sleep at night she and I lie on the same pillow face to face and she scoots in as close as she can get and then puts her arm around my neck. She wakes me by tapping on my body. She has awakened me from 3 low sugar events when I was asleep. She's older now but when she wanted to be snuggled she would stand on her two back feet and extend her paws in the air squeezing her toes together like a toddler does to ask to be picked up. She is the most loving creature I've ever met. She's my best friend :)
Its amazing you two have bonded so well.Did you get her as a kitten?
IUnknown ShadowI You do not, but some do. Have a great day :)
@IUnknown ShadowI And I don't care about your heartless, pointless and mean comment.
The word would be a better place without it
aww
Ana Nimity Lol
I own a 14 year old cat who lived his whole life until he was 13 with my grandfather. he was a pure housecat and was held alone (I know your not supposed to do that but my grandfather didn't know better) so when he died last summer the cat was with his dead body for 2 days until they discovered him. because he was supported to go to animal shelter I took him in because I didn't want him to be locked in a cage for the rest of his life. although he already knew me from visits to my grandfather the first few weeks he was only sitting behind my washing machine. he didn't eat, rarely drank and just sat there. the vet said that it was possible that he was actually depressed and sad of the loss of his former owner. and I can 100% agree to that before I never thought that a cat can feel loss of a loved person but now I know better. it took month for him to eat normally again and get used to me. I still have the brush my grandfather used to brush his fur and I rarely touched it but when I want to brush him with that he smells it and then curls up under my bed or behind the TV its like he has PTSD and gets memory from my grandfather.
sorry for English I'm Russian
2SilverEyes I am sorry about your grandfather and glad that you took his cat in. That was very sweet of you. Happy to know the kitty is being well taken care of.
2SilverEyes you are a very good person
What is with Russians and always loving cats? It seems like if I see someone who's Russian online, they're somehow _always_ cat people. You watch videos about cats being really cute, and a good half of them are Russian. Video of people rescuing cats in need? Tons of Russians. A cat video in general? There will be a Russian (and will almost always end with "sorry for my English I'm Russian" even though they have better English than some native speakers).
It reflects well on the country to have so many cat lovers I think.
Because Russia could give a shit about controlling the population in the USA we have TNR Trap Neuter Release & it truly works I'm sorry Russia is a shit hole.
Have you even been to Russia you idiot & to compare Japan one of the biggest killers of sea mammals on the planet you are just plain dumb educate yourself before making assine comments you have no idea dummy.
The only species whose emotions are at questions is human
@. hey buddy may be I am wrong
But I really don't want to be grown up because I have been watching the behaviour of grownups, they just don't care about others.
We talk about species we human caused extinction of half of species, 200 everyday. Look around our own human society do you think even we care about our own specie.
We used to be proud about "humanity" where is it and what is it?
So very true!
@. I think you should do what you just said about your own comment. One day you will realize that the majority of humans only care about their money rather then other people and animals.
Anurag Bhuruk if you want random strangers to care for you, you’d have to be in serious (visible) distress. If you’re not, why should they waste their time to care about you? Everybody’s got their own people they know and love, some have more some have less. Why should we care about every single human being? You know how stressful that would be?
And also, in a way we do care about people, since we provide food, develop cures for diseases etc. And yes, you could argue that it’s been made for the money, but the fact remains that it also helps other people.
that's so true....sigh
Kodi meowing seconds after his owner leaves just breaks my heart into tiny pieces. It's just... Ahhh!
When my dad was a kid, his family had a cat. Eventually my dad joined the Marines, and he wasn't able to visit home until a couple years later. When he got home, he sat in the living room chatting with his mom. Their cat just relaxed on the floor, bathing and acting as though nothing special was going on, as though my dad was some stranger visiting the family. About 20-30 minutes into the visit, out of nowhere, the cat sits straight up and stares intently at my dad. He sat there staring for a good minute or two as if realizing "wait a minute.... I know this guy!" He suddenly came rushing over and began purring and rubbing on my dad and wouldn't leave his side for quite some time. He saw my dad not as some means to survival, but as a member of his family. It took him a minute to recognize my father after so long, but as soon as he did he was filled with love and affection for him. Animals are wonderful.
What a lovely comment to read, thank you for sharing this as you painted the story brilliantly... brought a tear to my eye and warmth to my heart.
We bought a cat for the kids when they were around 3 and 4. When my daughter would trip and fall and start crying our female tortie would run to her and put her paw on her back to console her like a mother. I was always a dog person until I witnessed this a few times... Cats are awesome beings..
Sleipnirseight That’s an incredible cat story
How old is the cat? Lmao. Or how old was your dad, if you say "kid" ?
Beautiful comment. I was actually thinking about getting a career in the army but I don't know if I could bare to leave my cat :( he's my best friend
"WHERE AAAAAARE YOUUU"
"WHEEEEERE"
"PLEEASE COME BACK"
"Oh there u are" *purr purr*
Oh pleeease... The animal is alone, and trapped - it cant explore, hunt or socialize with other cats. This 30 minutes mew is nothing but animal form of psychical depression.
Graf Mon Now feed me.
Nothing cuter than the sound of a cat meowing :)
My Mel(by) does this to me, he just gave me kisses but wants my full attention XDDD
Lyubomir Ikonomov - Now now, stop pretending you know what you're talking about. Apart from a few exception the kind of cats we keep as pets tend to be solitary animals in the wild. It isn't meowing because it is trapped, it is meowing because it can't find it's owner. I've seen cats that can freely go outside do the *exact* same thing. Stop trying to defend something that doesn't exist.
I’ve watched quite a few ShoKo videos, but this is the first where my cat came running to Kodi’s meowing.
Actually, the first of any cat videos with vocals that she reacted to.
She could tell Kodi was distressed. Same with Shorty at the end.
"without any new stimuli to distract the cat"
*cat immediately gets distracted by camera* lol
my cats cry when i go into the bathroom and close the door. I'm guessing they think i ll be sucked in by a black hole and never return.
My cat just guards the door as I do my business
I have had three cats that have to be in the bathroom with me. I have two left of those. They think it is a place to be petted without interruption.
That's because you don't let them in! lol.
AnnaLee4Ever my cat insists on sitting on the back of the toilet seat with me... and tries to kinda push n pull at my clothes to get me off the toilet...
They just care because they don't know where you keep the food at.
I'm sitting here on my bed with 3 cats and they hear the cries and look up like WTF is that??
RandomSuzy same XD except its one kitten
RandomSuzy My cat just attacks my phone case and bites it whenever he sees it
My two cats did the exact same thing, and they don't normally react to sounds coming from my phone
Hahaha! I own 3 black cats and their names are red cat, blue cat and Greenie. I need more so I can have name them all the colours of the rainbow
whatever3210 crazy cat lady is just a sexist term. If a guy her age had forty cats people prob wouldn't blink an eye
IT'S SUPER SAD.. BUT.. My cat Lil Larry paws at the door to the front bedroom.. He also sits in front of it meowing and crying non-stop.. The reason it's sad is cuz my boy use to crash in that room.. He passed away April 10th.. Lil Larry and him were best buds.. They really loved eachother and he still thinks he's gonna open the door to let him in....
Rip man... 😔🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss ;_;
I’m so sorry for your loss and poor baby 😢 and wow I see today is anniversary of his passing. Hope you are at peace today and cherish your precious memories with him.
appreciate it!! it's a year today
😢
Omg the sounds of those "Where are you meows" has me and my cats' anxiety on high. Everyone wants to help the lost kitty.
"Cats are less affectionate". My ass! Mine won't leave me alone. The moment I sit still one of them is in my lap. They even tag team me.
My cat too 😭
Shut the fuck up, Most cats I've known don't like anyone
D .j haha, very funny. Telling people to shut up because your limited experience with a cat differs from what they are saying. On the contrary, many cats I encounter are quite happy to interact with strangers if they use the right body language. At times it surprises me how trusting cats can be, and I've got three myself having had one of them for over a decade. While some cats can be standoffish than others (my middle cat's affection does depend on her mood and she does sometimes lash out (though she never tries to seriously harm people with her scratches only being slight) and there's an angry looking cat I keep seeing who refuses to be anywhere near strangers but loves to be near his owner) there are cats that are _really_ affectionate such as my youngest cat who will curl up right by me, preferring to be as close to my face as she can, so that she can cuddle with me. Where I live there are lots of cat owners so I end up coming across many cats who will happily allow me to pet them if I coax them towards me a bit
@@GoldrushSavage what an idiot
... you do realise you just told a person to kill themselves over cats, right?
wow, you must not have enough attention. Your ego seems quite fragile.
Seeing how sad these cats seem when their owners leave makes me not want to leave my house and leave my cats alone.
I know right? it's so sad
My friends come over to my house so often that my cats are almost never alone. Even when I’m 2 hours away, my friends go to my house to hang out. My cats love all of us. My cats are always excited to see either me or my friends.
Nearly made me cry feel so bad for my two little baby’s...
My cat makes me feel terrible for leaving home. This just made it worse lol
Cats love their people, especially indoor cats. We are their whole world, were part of their pack and when we're gone they miss us.
True! Mine yells at me if it’s been more than 2 days.
Of course they love their owners - if they're treated lovingly
True.
Cats are like humans, they will love you if you love them too. treat them like a family and they'll treat you like a family too.
Yep. My cat used to be a absolute biter (just to be clear he still has his claws) until I start giving him pets and scratches. Now he always bothers me whenever I'm on the sofa lol. He rarely meows but whenever he wants attention he would lay on the ground in front of me.
when my cat was about to give birth to her kittens she was calling out to me and wanted me to stay near her.
Ikscdm Degi same my cat did the same
Mine's even bring her kittens to my bed. 😅
Rolex Was here mine did the same, when she had hers we were in bed in mid afternoon because when we feel overwhelmed wejust turn off e erything and lay in silence to relax our cat came to us extremely vocal and laid in bed.. We figured she was about to be in labor not even 5 minutes afterturning the light on and placing some extra covers underher she gave birth! And how dare i get up from next to her during contractions shed start talking to us like telling us to stay :3.. And one point my niece tried to sit next to her but since shes not a regular in our cats life she grabbed her baby ran around the room to hide but ended up jumping back in bed and tossing her baby on my lap.. I told my niecd to leave instead till she was done.
Ikscdm Degi my cat gave birth behind me near my bed when i was playing videogames. I was shocked
This reminds me of my high school cat. I loved her to death. She slept with me and licked my face in the morning. She had her kitten (single kitten) in my hair around 2:00am. It was disgusting, but later on I thought how sweet it was (but still disgusting, try washing that slimy crap out of your hair at 2 in the morning!).
When Cody calls for his dad, tears began to fall 😭
My cat always waits for me at the door when I come back home and she always jumps up onto my bed wanting to nestle next to me.
I saw a ridiculous scientific experiment on tv that supposedly proved cats weren't attached to their owners like dogs. In the experiment, they took a dog into an unfamiliar room with the owner and let it loose. The dog basically stuck by the owner. They then did the same with a cat and the cat ignored the owner and prowled around the perimeter of the room examining everything and essentially looking for somewhere to hide. If these great scientific experts had bothered to learn a bit about cats, they'd know that they are very territorial and are disturbed by being unfamiliar territory, unlike dogs which tend to range in the wild.
I agree with u !totally incredibly ridiculous !and very funny how ppl say things about the cats who don't have any experience with them!my cats are so attached to me !
+Snowleopard755 And cats are really moody, so they just may not have felt like having attention during those experiments! I know I don't choose when to cuddle with my cats, they choose!
I read an experiments done somewhere where they put the cat in a room with the owner versus with stranger. They found that the cats are more alert when investigating the room with strangers but they are more relaxed when they are with their owner.
This is why you should say goodbye to your cat when you leave and tell him when you will return. Then they know you left and when you will return.
what if my cat doesn't speak English?
Lola Turlututu They have an international translator built in.
I wave to my cat and tell him "bye, i will be back later" every time i leave and he's around. I like to think he understands
Al Capone I say I'll be back and hug them
+Lola Turlututu My guess is that cats understand that you are communicating something to them, which seems to reassure them that you are thinking about them. I am virtually certain that cats understand the tone of people's voices and whether you are talking to them or to someone else.
I did an experiment recently: my cat purrs when I talk to him, so I was curious if he could tell if I was actually talking to him, or just talking. I read a few pages from a book out loud, and my cat didn't purr at all.
Cats are not as "independent" as people think they are. They are colony animals. They don't do well left alone. This is why it's always best to have at least 2 cats. I have 3.
Most cats don’t like other cats if they weren’t raised with them but if they were then they are fine. I think it stems from the loss of territory and competition for food but they really do better with another cat or several other cats provided they get along. Many cats will dislike another at first if they weren’t raised with the other cat but will eventually warm up to the other cat. Some cats just really don’t like other cats and never warm up to them.
My cat is not independent. She needs constant companionship and craved cuddles. I tried introducing her to another cat, but she just started hissing at the other cat all the time.
@@AnaTorres-re6bf how long did you give her with the other cat? Did you introduce them slowly through closed doors at first so they could hear each other and then through a barrier where they can see and hear each other but not physically interact? Did you try placing them in an area with things that the other cat had used like linens? When my cats didn’t recognize each other after I bathed them, which can often happen with cats, I rubbed them with a cloth that the other cat used, placed them in an area with a cat bed that the other used, etc to let them get accustomed to the other cats scent. I separated them by putting one in a large dog crate while the other roamed and they took turns roaming. That way they could see each other but remain physically separated. It took a few days but they eventually accepted one another.
They are independent in the sense that they don't need constant care. For example, they don't need to be let out to use the bathroom and they groom themselves.
My cat and me are not owner and cat
We are best friends and we share everything whether it be good or bad - I am happy to have him as my friend
I love both cats and dogs but I think out of the two, cats are great therapy animals. Never had one that wasn’t. They are very keen and have a heightened sense of awareness whether you are angry, stressed, depressed or happy. They can become your best friend like a dog but less needy.
Cats are attached to their owners. I have a cat who runs downstairs when he hears my husband truck pull up the driveway, waits by the door till he walks in and follows him everywhere.
ppl call my kitty's "he's shadow"" coz they follow me every where i go
"Cats are attached to their owners", but the point was figuring out do they "follow [us] everywhere", "run downstairs", because they want resources? Or is it because they're attached due to social bonding/because they "love" us!
This video shows that it's the latter, cats are mammals after all and most mammals are social animals, and live in groups/tribes/herds/prides.
My cat always waits for me in the morning to fill his bowl before I have breakfast. He also prefers having company around while he eats.
Heidi DiazI've had cats start to cry as i go out the front door,and I could hear them continue to do so after I'd closed the door.My Small is too dignified in some ways to follow right at my heels,but she always comes in search of me.Jumps up on the kitchen table so I can make a nest with my arms for her,and purrs when I rest my head on her back.She lies down on her back on the floor and looks up at me while I talk to her and praise her beauty,and rolls slowly back and forth,looking up at my face until she slowly closes her eyes,just listening to the sound of my voice the whole time.Not to mentioning her desire to join me in the bathroom(what is it with the bathroom and cats??is it because we're a captive audience or something?LOL)
My cat will go into crying and search mode the moment I leave the room. Which makes me feel bad every time I leave the house.
Apollo Mann Kodi has a cat companion and look how freaked out he still is when his owner leaves.
You're a fucking liar
People keep comparing cats to dogs and they tend to miss a very important distinction. Dogs have been with the human for more than 20 000 years allowing genes to change them entirely. Cats have only been with us for a couple thousands.
My cat wears the pants in the family.
My mom's cat has fluffy back legs that make him look like he is wearing pajama bottoms, so I guess you could say he almost literally wears the pants in our family, at least among the other cats. In reality, though, he's a cowardly man-baby. But he's got a big heart.
@@lanieharmon1345 aww
Then your cat must have absolute control over every member.
Although I named her Moonshine, I call her "Your Highness "more often than anything, lol
NO!!! I don't want to think about my cat crying for a half an hour every time I Ieave.
I JUST WISH I HAD ONE :((((((
Samee, I wished I had one too
its not crying
a Meow is exclusively directed at Humans they don't do it naturally or to each other its meant to emulate a Human baby crying so you will show it attention
Surely it's a cry if it's directed at the caregiver due to emotional distress.
Cats do meow naturally; they do it as kittens to get the attention of their mothers and then stop as they mature and learn to care for themselves.
Wrong. A cats meow is only used in it's OWN infancy, not that imitation of a human baby. If that were true every cat has to have seen and heard and human infant to imitate it. Kittens meow it to get the affection and attention from their mothers. Cats learn by watching us that WE are vocal creatures and to get our attention they too must vocalize. And because we DO react and attent to their vocalizations there for re enforcing the behavior and a positive and rewarding action.
One could attune their meowing at us and them speaking 'baby talk' to us as we oft do to them. As a meow in a kitten's noise. A grown cat with no human contacts would never use this sound beyond infancy to another cat.
Whenever I would got over to a friend's house to spend the night or just leave my house for a few days, my mom would text me about my cat and tell me "Michi misses you, she's sleeping in your bed." Or "She's looking around the house again to see if you're hiding anywhere." And whenever I came home from anywhere, Michi was always waiting at the door for me meowing. As soon as I walked in she would run over to me and ask for a hug my standing on her hind legs a reaching her paws out. She's only ever been like that with me though, which I love about her. Cats develop a strong bond to their humans just as much as dogs do, and I'm glad I get to have a little monster that loves me just as much as I love her :)
Allie Zavala Yeah same with me. Whenever I'd leave for college my mom would tell me my cat would be looking for me the days after I'd leave.
Michi called me last week and told me that you suck.
Allison J I’m severely allergic to cats. I get hives but my dog is the same way but with everyone. I would love a cat but it’s really bad when i touch them. It’s sad :(
Allison J same with me and my grumpy kitty. He runs out the door before I can close it so I don’t leave and we have to shut it soo fast lol
Bitch, you all sideways
It's the first time I see another cat that does the same as mine, crying with his favorate toy and wonder around when i leave home. So sweet
I feel bad for my cat, I let him go outdoor to prevent him getting bored when I'm working, he sure has some friends but still wanted long hugs whenever I'm home.
don't believe the memes that cats are supposed to be outside.
they live longer, happier and healthier lives inside than outside.
shower them in affection and attention and they will never be bored.
Whenever my cat sees me she immediately runs up into my shoulder and rubbing into me and grooming my hair, she sleeps with me at night too,
my cat sleeps with me 2
Mine just steals my take out sushi and pukes in my shoes.I still adore him,though.
I had two cats that I had funny and just plain 'why' moments. the cat that was stupid like me ,my sister says, and that cat would be on my lap and purring. she was playful and always active. we had tons of funny moments where she would have her mom with her ( the cat that sat on my lap was named baby cat since she looked liked a kitten and her mom is called mama cat from how many kittens she had ) mama cat would not know baby cat because the scent is gone and is growling at her even tho she wants to play. baby cat got to play and mama cat ran but got caught between a dresser and a wall, again, growling and baby cat walked away like her mission was completed.
my first cat kuro since his fur is black he went under my covers while I was laying down and I though he was. going to lay down on me to sleep. so I allowed him too.
he.
ended up peeing on Me and I said 'WHYY?!' and he ran. ))
Same thing my cat does to me, but more. His name is Buddy; a grey and white saddle cat. He has grown up with me all my life, ever since I was a baby. Between that time, him and I were given a special "bond". He is the same age as me; 13. Whenever I go to bed, he sits at my door, waiting for me. There are many people in my family, but all the cats we have only like me, lol. As I am writing down this comment, all the cats are snuggled with me on the sofa, and Buddy is trying to nuzzle and be so cute! 😀😄😊
Mine too.
my cat murphy is my best friend, six years togather now, knows my every move, visits my neighbours every day, gets what he wants most of the time in is own cute cat way, comes into my bedroom every morning and just goes right up to me and puts paw on my head and in a nice way gets me up lol, i must say murphy brings a smile to my face most days, as i live on my own he keeps me sane to be honest, he might be just a wee cat, but he is so much more to me, a friend at all times.
That's so sweet
Yes! :) so true, love this.
Chris you are a true man. My cats are not only my friends but my family too. I love them with all my heart and I certainly know they love me too.
Cathie, yes such true friends, my cat sends big hello to your cats.
Chris I to live on my own an my Ally Cat is my world we have been together for 9yrs and she sleeps with me & love's me through the hard time's. I recently broke up with my Boyfriend and when I cry she sits on my lap and uses her head to wipe away my tears as I cuddle her. she is my World and I would be lost without her.
Cats love their humans. Mine have loved me, I know that in my soul. They are in my heart and memory always.
This broke my heart hearing this sweetheart calling for his "hooman".
My baby is 26 years old. He was rescued off death row from the pound by my mom. I've had him for 18 years. I am constantly told that how whenever I leave to the house for work, to get groceries or what have you, how he cries and waits by the door for me to come home like a dog. He sleeps in bed with me but has his own side with his own blanket on the bed so I don't roll over onto him by accident. And because he is so old, I have to pick him up and put him on the bed. Sometimes he'll leave to go eat, potty or whatever. But the other night, I was having a nightmare. I awoke with my kitty LEAPING onto the bed and meowing like crazy and I simply said "Did you have a bad dream too, love?" He curled up next to my belly like he understood everything I said and needed his mama. I love him so much!
brijo89 that's freaking beautiful 😭
the devil gives you the nightmare, your cat can see it.
brijo89 you're single aren't you?
Cats can smell fear like horses.... I think..
john, something wrong with being single? or is that some really screwed up feeble attempt at trying to start a conversation with another single person? I'm single wouldnt have it any other way, can do what i want when i want how i want, dont have to ask permission, or apologize for anything. I eat what I wannt, dont have to plan on what whoever else dont like, really what was that comment?
1:24 He got his favorite toy so he wont be so lonely......These onions are getting ridiculous! :,(
Ughhhh I know right!
+Madara Uchiha Fucking ninjas cutting onions every where :c
+Madara Uchiha its exactly what my cat does, but it takes the toy to the front door, how long it sits at the front door meowing with the toy i dont know i never videod him, but when i go out that is what he does and when i come home the toys are at the front door. he also knows what time i come home and waits for me..... and it is certain of that because if i come home earlier or later he wont be at the front door he will be asleep unstairs... but if i get home on schedule he will be there to greet me, he then follows me room to room until i get changed and sit down, he wll then sit in that room with me or on my lap.... cats are misunderstood, but scientists lie and say cats dont care, cause they do experiments and kill cats everyday... so they lie to us adn themselves so they dont seem like bad people.
+♥JinX♥ outlive the cat and eat it before it eats you.
+Madara Uchiha After watching this section I will never leave my cats ever again
The cats are calling to their owners, and you can hear the question mark.
that's why cats are better than people.
All animals are better than people.
My two younger cats took turns raping my poor, weazy ancient cat. Please.
@@scikick Hippos kill simply because they can. No need of meat since they can't digest it. Outdoor cats kill an average of 40 things a day, although humans provide them food. They've made countless species extinct.
Mallards literally rape the females with a 10 foot long explosive barbed penis. Animal kingdom isn't all pretty and cute. Shit's scary, gross, and cruel. Humans, being a product of evolution under these conditions are similarly cruel towards threats from within and without.
I can tell you've been hurt. If you were a bird or bug a cat would kill you. The worst your average human will do is hurt your feelings or let you down.
@@almightydeity you are the most sensible person In the comment section
Zob Rombie you were in on it too though
I have severe depression, and I cry a lot. My cat, Teady, always always always comes to me when I cry and tries to comfort me. It works almost every time.
+MilkScrew well
that s nice..
Hope you feel well sometimes at least
Well, apparently your nice cat helps you quite a bit with your sadness
well done, teady -
Im here if need someone to talk to! Depression can be tough, but hey atleast you have your loving cat :D
+Smashbrick Depression and ptsd is easier when you have a pet. Lost my Jasper about ten years ago and still miss him. He was a half Sealpoint siamese
Yeah it really does make a difference. Teady, sadly, has blood cancer (not the acute kind though, so he will probably live several more years). He's a mutt, and the mellowest cat I've ever seen in my life!
+MilkScrew- I am so glad your cat helps to comfort you. My 17 1/2-year-old Mystery could sense if anything was amiss as soon as I opened the front door. Amazing how it is almost like they read your mind. I hope you find a truly good doctor that can help you. I did. Sometimes I think the cat helped more.
Cats are so god damn cute, I have no idea how people can dislike them - it utterly astounds me that there's a wavelength for cat hatred. All animals are amazing, but cats have a special place in my heart. Every day I finish work and look forward to going home and spending time with mine, and today is certainly no exception!
100% agreed, 14 years cat owner here, I love him so much
Marty I've had cats for 31 years now :)
Been around kitties since I was 5, and now I have a big floofy boy that loves to cuddle up to me when I come home. I really don't understand the hatred for cats. Some cats are affectionate, some are not, they are all different. It seems that people love to stereotype
I was raised around dogs all my life, so always thought I disliked cats but I think it's just because I don't understand cat's behavior- and because my dogs have never purposely hurt me when it was tired of me, and dogs are always ready for affection. It's hard, because in my head affection is a certain way that I can see in dogs but not in cats. Or the cats Id been around just aren't friendly, or even completely used to humans. When I moved in with my room mate, her cat was affectionate and loving. But she had some other cats even she recognized as distant and just down right mean. It's the mean ones that spoil things for people.
They are not so cute when they are digging their claws into your flesh or furniture. Some cats really are great and very lovable, but some are just reclusive vicious assholes. That can also true of some dogs, (and people) but on average most dogs are far more social and friendly to strangers compared to cats. So if you have never owned a cat, or developed a relationship with one, all you would know is that they can be very aloof and tend to tear up stuff with their claws. Whereas nearly everyone has experienced unrestrained affection from a dog.
So it is not so hard to understand why dogs are more popular in general.
I love my cats and they love me.
When Im sad, they seem to know and will stay close and be more affectionate.
I'm never leaving my house again. 😢😭
ughhhh!!!!! hearing a cat crying for their human with their favorite toy moewing for a
about an half hour more or less anyway makes me feel so sad!
OMG I love Abby!
Virginia Osuna same
Virginia Osuna get over it❤️
Salvatore Anzalone tf
It woke my cat up, she said 'the hell was that' lol
The only people who think that cats are only caring because they use you are dog owners who have never owned a cat. Every time my parents leave for work in the morning my cat calls for me until I open my door so she can sleep in my room on my bed next to me.
Mitchell true
Lol my kittens wake me up in the middle of the night by knocling things off sometimes and they cuddle with me before i sleep.
My dogs also do things like that.
so non-dogowners cant have misconceptions about cats
She used you
This was heart breaker..I truly believe our beautiful kitties love us as much as we love them...there’s no ulterior motive..they are loving beings..
This gave me memories of my cat Snowie. I loved her so much. She went for a walk but got lost or ran away because she started to hate my neibhorhood because of all the dogs there was. I recently adopted a dog that is white like she was. I named the dog Snowflake' i call her snowie like my cat. This dog just reminds me of her. Like a dog version of her. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs now
My cat has too much pride to vocally announce his need for me. He has a love for me as he will eventually jump on my lap and purr like crazy but it has to be on his terms, the little shit.
I was crying as soon the cat was calling :'(((
Same
I cried at the end when he had returned and scooped up the cat.
Same
*gentle hug*
***** *hugs back too*
He cried for his "pet" for 35 minutes...that broke my 💓. How sad.
... but his pet came home!!!
When I came home after being gone for 9 days years ago, mine meowed a little but otherwise acted indifferent. That lasted until I had put everything away and sat on the sofa. She jumped up and nuzzled me under my arm as hard as she could, purring as loud as I'd ever heard her and wouldn't get down. Had her a little over 16 years. I loved that little beast.
Mine follows me from room to room when I get up. It's a terrific feeling. I just love my cat - he really is my best buddy.
+Dennis Hartnett mine too.. even the loo :")
+Mingina Mathea ESPECIALLY to the loo. My cats get super mad when I close the bathroom door while they're outside
Jay Cee omg! Mine too!! And when I'm in the shower, I cant close the door coz she will get mad, but she can't Come in coz the floor is wet. So she just peeps and waits at the door till I'm done 😂😂
+Dennis Hartnett Is your cat your profile? :)
Mine too!!! He cries for me when I'm gone too.
Hope my wife misses me like that one day.
I dunno why I found this comment incredibly sweet. :3
Wish you luck that you find a great lady that will always miss you when you are gone, and love you like the first day she fell for you.
Thank you so much for such sweetest words. Your words just made my day. Thank you again.
Mukesh *husband
Mukesh she probably does miss you alot when you leave she just hides it, like when my sister comes up to my place to stay with me for a week or two i get sad when she leaves but i never say so...she doesn't know, it is human nature to miss people we care for so again she does miss you she's just hiding it :)
Aww! Same here :)
I know my cat loves me. He looks for me when I'm gone, greets me when I return, and one day I was asleep my grandma came in my room in a rush waking me up and frightening me. I gasped out loud and jumped. My cat, Charlie, jumped up on top of me facing my grandma (who he knows and loves), gave a warning meow and even a hiss. As if protecting me from harm. I love this cat
I have a cat and let me tell you watching the video where the cat codie is crying for the owner just ripped my heart. I know that my cat does the same. Been 5 beautiful year with my cat and I love him more than anything else.
Kesa my 2 cats are 5 also n are brother n sister! Ive had them since they were 8wks. They are my loves and always by my side snuggling.❤❤
Am i the only one who cried at this video
Well I felt sorry for the cat
Nora C nope. I cried at 2:21
That's why owners should always get two cats that get along well, so when the owner is gone, they don't feel all alone.
i cried too! my cat does this too!
I didn't cry but my heart felt sad
I adopted a stray off of the streets a few years ago. She kind of just came out of nowhere meowing. I pet the cat then make my way home unaware that the cat was following me. I woke up the next morning to find the same cat sat on the bin looking in my window meowing when she saw me. I of course fed her and gave her milk thinking nothing of it. I thought maybe if I fed the cat it would leave me alone. But no. She stayed. That didn't stop me feeding her though. She got fed and given milk everyday. I became attatched to the cat. I loved her. I did howver put out posters to see if the cat was missing. Nobody claimed her. I dicided to keep her. But my family doesn't like cats. My nan likes them and my sisters and brothers but not my grandad. He hates them. It had now been a few months since we had the cat and she was more healthy and didn't look skin and bones. She met all of my pets and was friendly to each and every one. Every morning she would be sat on the fence in the backyard meowing at my window to be let in. It was annoying but i couldn't let her in because of my grandad. At first nobody knew about this cat. Not even my nan. But without them knowing I let the cat in a few times, opening the small winow down stairs. The tabby would leap up and jump down on the other side then make her way up stairs care free. By the time I locked the window she was up stairs. I was of course scared for being found out that we had a stray in the house. I go back up stairs, my heart was racing and look into my nans room to see where the cat had gone. She was in her bed! Curled up at the bottem of the bed purring. My nan was luckily asleep at the time and had no clue. I quickly picked up the now woken up cat and rushed to my room then put her on my bed. She soon settled back down and falls asleep beside me. A few hours later I wake her up. It was very early in the morning and nobody must know that the cat was in here. They would kill me! The cat was wide awake and meowing at the door to be let out. I try to shut her up before she woke anyone up and open the door. She runs to the bottem id the stairs I follow closely after. Just as she was about to start meowing I picked her up. I stroked her hoping she would stop meowing. She did stop. But I can't let her out. My grandad was awake. Fuck. How the hell am I supost to get her out now? I run back up stairs with the cat then put her on my bed. I then put a dressing gown on and picked the cat up, hideing her in it. I go downstairs and open the door. He asks what I was doing and I replied "I'm hungry." Then make my way to the kitchen. He couldent see that I was holding a cat underneath the dressing gown because it was so dark. I go into the kitchen and close the door to the living room shut as I held the cat I one arm then put cat on the floor. She wonders around looking at everything. I open the small window which she went through before and put the cat out. I felt bad for locking her out but I didn't know what else to do. I close the window and lock it then get some chrisp and go back upstairs. I heard the cat meowing none stop for hours. I tried ignoreing it. Each time I looked out of my bedroom window the cat would stare at me with big green eyes with her two front paws on the wall looking up at me wanting to be let in again. She was stood on her hind feet, her front paws on the wall to explain clearer. My grandad threw things at the cat since she wouldn't shut up meowing hours on end. He thought it was an annoying random stray cat. I did his a few times until my nan found out. She wasn't mad at all she actually helped me look after the cat as well as my brothers and sisters. Now Everyone knew except my grandad who hates cats. We let the cat stay in our house all night then early in the morning we would feed her and let her out before my grandad found out. It had been a few months since we had the cat now and more of my family came to visit. Every one was sat at the table talking about anything and everything. A bit of the door was open and the cat walked in and jumped up on the chair all while everyone was arguring about food. (I know it's pathetic for a whole family to be arguring over how many sugars and colories are in each food) They didn't even relize the cat was on the chair until she meowed and everyone stopped arguring and looked at the cat which was sat on the chair stareing at everyone. My older brother said "I didn't know you had a cat!" My nan explained the situation to everybody and they were then saying how cute the cat is. I bought her a red collar with a bell on it. By grandad came in early that night and and was sat on the sofa watching t.v. He didn't know the cat was in the house. The cat made her way up stairs. Her tail was held high and the bell on her collar was noticeably loud. She casually walked past my grandad who had no clue that the cat had gone upstairs. The cat stayed again that night and let her out again in the morning. She would follow me everywhere no matter how far she would always be by my side. I once went to the shop and the cat followed me and sat at the doors entrance wating for me then followed me back home. She followed me to my sisters house which is quite far. She was at my older sisters house at a party with me. Just chilling on the sofa purring away without a care in the world. Then she followed me back after the party ended late at night and slept in my house. I once was waiting for the bus to go to town and to no suprise, my tabby cat was by my side, sitting down next to me waiting for the bus. I didn't take her with me even though she followed me on the bus. People smiled ad the cat made her way down towards me. I had to pick her up and bring her out of the bus. I felt horrible but I couldn't take her with me. the noise would scare her. When I was back from town I saw the cat sat at my front door and when she saw me she greeted me with a tail held high meowing and purring. I pet her and she follows me into the house. Fast foward a few months and the cat followed me everywhere now. She would wait for me at the bus stop everyday when I came home from school. I don't know if she stayed at the bus stop all day but when I came back from school I would find her laying on the bus seat which you wait for the bus. Then she would greet me again happily purring rubbing against my legs. After I pet her I walk home with the cat following me. Lets Fast foward now shall we? My grandad had now found out about this cat and was furious. He threatend to get rid of her and he did. I came home one day and saw that my cat wasn't waiting for me at the bus stop. I asked where she was when I went home she the repliey was that was was somewhere far away on a farm. I was heart broken. A few days later i hear meowing in the night. I quickly look out of my bedroom window only to see my cat! I immediately let her in the house and fed her then let her sleep in my house. My grandad found out again and sent her away to somewhere even futher than before. The tabby came back again but this time in the pouring rain. I dryed the cat off and gave her food. She stayed for a couple of days then my grandad found out and sent her away again for the third time. I knew by now that the amazing cat we adopted wouldn't stay away that easily. She returned a few days later meowing at the window to be let in. She looked a bit thin but nothing to worry about. I fed her and let her stay. Every one was amazed about how the cat made her way back home from such far place. She travelled in a car to where her new homes were. It must be scent or something. She got sent away for the forth time. I waited for her return. I hoped I heard her all familiar meow. But weeks turned into moths then into years. She hasn't come back. I miss her dearly and pray she is somewhere safe and loved. It took some time but I've now accepted that she is gone. I still wonder where she is. She was the first and best cat I've ever had pleasure in looking after. I wonder if she will come back but I doubt it. She was as loving and loyal as a dog.
Descusted Cupcake I red through the whole thing. I'm sorry for your loss. I hate people who hate cats for no reason.
I adopted a kitten three months ago and at first my mum was really angry and wouldn't like him at all. Now she feeds him, pets him and let him on her bed lol
Aww man this was saddening.. why does he really hate cats though? Wish he could grow to like them halfway thru all that..
like... wth has your granddad so much authority? Like idk if the other people are ok with it and he is the only one against it... I would fight him lol... I dont want to be offensive but your grandad sounds like a bitter and sad man
Descusted Cupcake I read the whole story, you made me cry
I adopted a cat this week. He always follows me out of my room. Even though he ran away he came back.
My beautiful Periwinkle just died this morning after a month of being skinny, a week of going severely downhill, and a couple days after being taken to the vet where we learned that she was not dying from worms like we thought, but from a tumor in her belly. We did all we could to comfort her in her last days, and I feel empty now. The only comfort I have is knowing that she is no longer suffering. This is the first video I watched today, and although I've been crying for the past three days straight, it made me smile and feel comforted. Thank you for reminding me that cats truly do care about their owners. I needed to know that Peri knew that we loved her. I told her how proud I am for all the fight she's given, and how strong she is, but that she could go whenever she wanted to because I couldn't stand to watch her suffer any longer. My baby died on October 5th, 2022. She lived a good four years and was the prettiest, silliest kitty I could have asked for. She loves being held like a baby, and my sister and I did that for her in the last couple days. When my mom went outside to check on her this morning, she was gone. The last thing I did before we went out and buried her in the backyard was give her one final kiss on the head and told her I loved her. It all happened so fast. She was just walking last week, and in the last couple days she couldn't. She tried to walk and fell over. She wasn't drinking or eating, and her meows were painful. I cried and held her in my arms and told her how much we all love her.
Unfortunately, I don't think I will be feeling better for a long time. I've fallen into a depression because kitty was suffering so bad. But I will try to keep her good memories alive, so that I can stay alive. She doesn't deserve to be remembered for her final days. She should be remembered for all the days she was thriving and living the good life. I will love her forever and ever. Rest in peace Periwinkle, you beautiful cat.
my cat never ever lets me leave his side
he sleeps on his bed next to mine or on me, he's always near me, he follows me everywhere
he's my buddy and when I leave, he cries and cries and cries
ok that's cool your profile picture though 😂
Nice username lololol
Squiddo SquidHead I know this is late, but who are you talking to?
Weebs Are Taking Over The World
OP
Mine too. He follows me around and even follows me from the front, I call it. It's like he knows where I'm headed, and leads the way lol. He knows when it's bedtime too. He'll get a sense that everyone is about to head to bed and will reserve his spot, or crawl up in it shortly after we lie down. He's a big cuddle bug too!
I will never understand why some people say that cats are heartless or don’t love their owner. I’ve got two cats, a black one and an orange one. The black one would always be by my side and sleeping, and in the night they would wait for me to say „komm heia machen“ (lets go and sleep) and then walk beside me to my bed and cuddle up to me. The orange one would always come to me and comfort me when he sees that I was crying/ feeling bad. He would start cuddling up to me and make me stroke him because he knew that this would distract me. Honestly these two cats where more there for me when I needed them than all my friends and family members combined.
cσѕмιccнαє I can relate. It's almost as if they can sense your emotions. Maybe it has something to do with our hormones and how cats can smell them.
cσѕмιccнαє Got mine as a pregnant stray. Have had her 7 years now! If I "ignore " her when I get home from work she gets very loud until I pick her up! I think 90 seconds is the longest before I broke and picked her up and give her nose a kiss and tell her she is a pretty girl!
Improbable Pebble of course they can. They also can read your body language and tell once it differs from your usual behaviour.
i love cats
Soooo true! This is how my kitty’s are and I loveeee my babies
My cats won't leave me alone, they are more needy than any pet I have ever seen.
I have 6 six cats and they all sleep on my bed. *BUT ONLY WHEN IM GOING TO BED* Rn I’m lying in bed and I’ve got 2 next to me rn lol then 3 is sleeping on my floor next to me and the other one is sleeping on my lap. I always make sure I don’t move in the night too so I don’t disturb them or make them want to move.
this is why I got a second cat cuz I just knew my first one was super sad when Id leave the house
+L Gammy I have 2 Russian Blue siblings, and they live for going outside, even though I suspect they are only sleeping up the yard. They don't particularly need me until feeding time. They give each other great companionship, and it's lovely to see them heading off together.
+KS KS aww thanks!
+L Gammon is that...sarcasm?
+Brandon Ariy lmao no im serious.. I really got a second one to make the first one feel better
L Gammon just thought that the "every time you left felt. ;)" came off as a bit creepish
I live with my sister. She used to call home from work and leave a message on the machine talking to the cats. They would get really excited and poke at the machine until they heard the message over again.
Sarah Anderson that is fucking adorable
Cats owners are awesome!
I work overnight and my fiancé and I will FaceTime sometimes. My kitty Carl will hear my voice and scream and nudge at the phone.
My favorite thing about this adorable video is that meow that’s muffled by his toy because he’s carrying it with him while he’s looking around for his owner.
When I’m away for vacation my mom said my cat would cry a couple of times a day and would go to my bedroom door and scratch my door and cry. Poor baby!
ouch my heart is being attacked by cuteness
I've had my cat for 12 yrs nearly and while she lets everyone pet her, I'm the only one she lets pick her up - and she sleeps curled up next to me every night. :) Most definitely kitties can love their owners!
That's what he mean't though. If cats are more likely to cuddle their owner and no one else, it can mean they only like you for your resources.
dodgy my cat is the same way even though other people feed her.
i got 16 year old cat that is different only likes me and my brother she only sleeps in my room next to me or end of bed as i move a lot when sleep she knows that when brother visits she comes down to get fuss of him then back to my room she never goes out i like that as to much danger for cats outside but she good for her age as she has her brother cat that is different same age but loves attachment from anyone in house only goes out for toilet then back in sits in main room so anyone that walks buy will fuss him
Dodgy Dingoz I don't think she misunderstood what he was saying, she was just sharing her own experience which confirms the sentiments of the video. This is how people tend to talk on youtube comments.
Yes Ma'am. Cats have just as much loyalty as dogs.
I have mood issues and anytime my mood goes sour, there is my kitty meowing and rubbing me to help. Sweetest girl on earth.
If you want a more objective answer the same parts of their brains light up as when humans show affection and they also produce a flood of oxytocin when cuddling with their human.
