    This brought tears to my eyes. 35 years ago my step mother spent possibly as long, coaxing a very badly injured ginger cat, into, what my father called ‘the best cat’s home on Earth’. He had to have his tail removed, but was so fluffy he had ‘trousers’. If anyone came to stay he would disappear. Then, he’d crane his neck round the corner, and realise it was just the 3 of us. He would follow my father right the way round the garden. We had a circular path. Then my Dad would turn around and he’d follow him the other way. At 16-20 going on dates, he would follow me up the stairs in the dark. Then his eyes would blink as the light went on, and he would stay for a petting, just the right amount of time. My abiding memory is of him going to my bedroom door to be let out. When my Dad told me he’d died, a 20 year old man cried for a day. He was the best cat ever. Now 50 I am in floods of tears writing this. We had 5 or 6 years of his love and total appreciation. RIP Ginger

    This makes me really miss Chester, a huge tom cat who just showed up at our rural house when my kids were little. He adopted us, would never come inside, but was very affectionate outdoors. He was territorial and a big time fighter, getting badly scratched up some nights. My wife would patch him up each time, and he would recover, and be just as lovable as ever. As ferocious as he was with other cats and with raccoons, he never scratched or bit anyone and allowed even small children to carry him around all over the yard. Greatest cat ever.

He lived over 15 years and took a piece of my heart when he passed. ❤️ Best cat ever.

    I remember when I found this guy's channel. A video of him feeding to-be-Cinnabon outside got recommended to me and I checked out his channel and it was mostly firearms videos, showcases and gun talks, something like that. And with the few occasional Cinnabon videos inbetween. As I checked back on his channel a while later I saw all the beautiful news about Cinnabon coming inside the house and generally being a good boi. Now it's mostly Cinnabon playtime and outside adventure videos and hardly any firearms stuff anymore. :D I still like to check the channel every few months and seeing that things seem to be going well for cat and owner and seeing the flood of all the cute petting/playing/feeding videos just melts my heart.

Ended up having a few relationships with women who had a cat and so I spent time with their cat. Realized that I was severely mistaken and that cats are actually wonderful. When I decided to get a pet, I was trying to decide between a dog and a cat and came to the conclusion that a cat was a better fit for me at the time. That was 4 years ago and now he’s my best friend. Everyone in my family is now a cat person 😂.

      I feel like this would be a great experience. However, I adopted a cat and she was terrified for awhile. She eventually got to the point where she would trust us enough to sleep in our bed and let us pet her wherever. But it took awhile and she still doesn’t trust anybody else, so it’s satisfying to have seen that growth to trust the two of us even though she still can’t trust anyone else.

      There are two types of "not a cat person": someone who has not really given any cat a chance, and someone who cannot TOLERATE other creatures having or enforcing boundaries. Cats enforce their own rules, and if someone's ego can't handle that, they can't handle cats. Most of the time, though, it's just someone who hasn't spent enough time with any cat to make an emotional connection, which can be fixed with a purring kitten or endearing stray pleading to be fed and needing to have its trust *earned*.

    the sentence that "you never choose a cat, a cat chooses you" is so true. I live in my present house for 5 years. I remember coming first time there to see how the constuction goes, and seeing that cat for the first time as well. After a couple of months I finally moved to my house, and the cat started coming to me a few times a week. At first I didn't let him get inside, I only fed him outside with leftovers from my fridge. He wasn't scared or sth, I just didn't want to have an animal. Then he started coming to me few times a day, he just demanded food, and a loooot of pets. There was once a situation when this cat somehow sneaked through the door, when I wasn't looking, and without me knowing, stayed inside for a night. I was really suprised when I found him laying on my couch in the morning. I was suprised even more when I found out that him - a wild cat didn't pee anywhere, and didn't destroy anything. And since it was starting to be pretty cold outside, I decided to let the cat stay inside for nights. I bought him cat food, and a lot of toys. He loved them. And now - a few years later I am a very happy owner of a beautiful cat. I cannot imagine life without him. I still can't belive my luck that from hundreds of houses in the neighbourhood, he chose me. And I am so thankful to God for that.

While we never could get his trust 100 percent as well as not being able to touch him or get him into the house, he was a part of our life. He would get dry food all the time and wet food only when we knew he was outside or saw him as there were other animals as well that ate the dry food. He would always be waiting on the deck for his food and he would eat it while we sat on the deck. Part of wished that we could have gotten him in the house during out winters but he was just to feral to want to come inside but we did the best we could and again he had 8 years of love in so many ways

    "They say you never choose a cat, a cat chooses you" exactly, out of all the civilizations, cats chose the Egyptians because of their potential. That's why the Egyptians worshipped them, so they can be just as based as the felines. In my case I attract every creature regardless because I'm a real-life Disney princess

    The love of a cat just HITS different. They make you earn their love and trust. Once you conquer their heart, it's the best feeling ever. I still like dogs, I was a dog person. But my cat changed me forever... I adore my princess Maji....

    My grandmother used have a cat that had just walked to her door.
    When she passed away my mother took him in for several more years.
    Sadly the cat passed away last week, because off cancer in his stomach.

    It’s great to see that “not a cat person” becomes “a cat person.” 😅

      I feel the same way! My brother in law didn’t really care for animals, or in particular cats, but he had a change of heart after marrying my big sis who’s an avid cat lover. Now both of them are taking care a 6 month old rescue kitty as well as adopting a trio of kittens some while ago. Animals really do have a special power to change someone for the better huh?

    Love this story! I live in Northern Michigan and my last cat lived in the Manistee National Forest and was rescued in 2008. She lived a good long life - 15 years and was with me 8.5 of those years!!! Those red pines look like the Manistee National Forest. I love how he says this - "They say you never choose a cat, the cat chooses you." 🥰🥰🥰

    Man, I freaking love stories like this. So happy kitty has a home & a Papa now, & Papa admits his life is better because of it.
    I grew up a dog lover as my family always had dogs. I thought cats were cool but it never cross my mind to adopt a cat. Then after the Army, I fell in love with my roommate’s cat. Then I adopted one cat & then another. Now I cannot imagine a life with cats. I didn’t even realize that I wanted & needed a cat. Cats & dogs are gifts to humanity. They enrich our lives with endless amounts of love, laughs & joy. They make us happier & our lives better. They are one of the best things you can give to yourself or your family as they will bring so much to your life.
    🐱 + 🐶 RULE!
