I did in fact end up adopting Teddy after all! I'm very happy we were able to work out the logistics so he could stay with me. His behavior is improving a lot as well :)
That's great. If Teddy hadn't always behaved like that before he came to you, my guess is he was just in a lot of confusion and stress at losing his territory and his flatmate all of a sudden. He must have been super scared at first, and then, when he felt he was not in danger, he started fearing he'd lose the place and person again. But if he's getting better maybe he's less scared now.
Thanks so much for the update! See if maybe your comment can get pinned so everyone knows what happened!
THANK GOD!! You were made for each other❣️Are you getting him a friend?
Now that's a great news! Hope you guys can work it out! :D
You should create a CZcams video for Teddy
The cat is treating him like his best cat friend. Anyone with two cats that get along very well, knows that cats have lots of energy, especially indoor cats. And they chase each other around, and turn into one big ball of biting scratching fur. Fur literally flies all over. It LOOKS wild, but they're having a great time.
I had two brothers.They were utterly devoted to each other. I got them as tiny kittens...rescue, of course. And when they weren't attacking each other and leaving clumps of fur all over the house, they were licking each other, and curled up asleep together.
This lovely young man has been deemed an honorary cat sibling by this fur ball. Which is quite the testament to how nice he is.
And I honestly think this cat will be miserable without him around
That's true! I have siblings, brother and sister, sometimes they bully each other but that's they way to show emotions 😅 they're often sleeping with me together and I'm so greatful for them!
I adopted two brothers as well and you’re spot on with how you described them...❤
Ya this is definitely bro behavior 😅 My bro cats do the same routine.
Totally agree. We have two cats. A Siamese and idk the other. She's a white cat. Siamese wants to play, but Snow won't budge. Now, my Siamese plays with all the dogs in the house. She found a sister on one of the puppies. It's chaotic and fun.
This man low key loves it. You can tell. That’s why he’s always smiling even when he’s trying to look “scared” 😂
Excuse me but please don't victim blame. jk 😉
@@aroha9090??..
That made me laugh! Thank you!!!@@aroha9090
What a great guy. Thanks for clearly explaining all the responsibilities of pet ownership and why love isn’t enough. Tough decision but the right one.
A lot of people are telling him to keep him, but I agree with you. Teddy needs a different home, for sure.
Thanks for understanding. Trust me I've thought long and hard about this and it pains me to let him go, but when I'm being honest with myself I know this isn't the ideal long term home for him. I was originally only going to take care of him for a month, but it ended becoming a year. Fortunately I work for the dodo and am able to make a video that reaches millions of people in order to find him the perfect situation. It's been a very tough decision and I appreciate you seeing that. He'll be with me until the most perfect situation comes along
@@BillSchaumbergcompletely understand, I’m in a similar position with the family/my mothers cat who I am now having to care for due to my mothers illness. I love him to bits, but I find his constant need of attention inconvenient/irritating at times. It pains me to admit, but I do think I need to find him a new home, with someone who has the capacity to provide him with a constant supply of cuddles & kisses. It’s nice to see I am not alone in this, as the guilt is sometimes too much to bear.
@@BillSchaumberg what state are you guys located in?
if he is gone alot i agree and an adopted family could have more bros and sis and people love.
@@qmnnvrdyz8965
I went on his Instagram and found out he is producer/editor at The Dodo itself. So yes! It's obvious he needs to travel a lot for his work and I feel really happy that he is thinking about the cat first. He will definitely do what's best for him. Loads of love and respect ❤
Unless he’s out of town for 5+ days at a time often throughout the year, then I see no reason why he can’t keep this cat he claims to love. It’s not like he’s a dog. Cats are WAY less maintenance than a dog.
@@TheJaker5. He explained in the video that this particular cat needs way more attention than he can give. This cat is hyper social.
@@TheJaker5The entire video is about how the cat wants or needs more socialization that he can offer currently.
He ended up adopting Teddy and they are doing fine.
Oh wow wondered who dodo was
He needs another kitty friend!! Glad you realized that and are still giving him the best home until he finds a purrfect fit :) :)
No. It's disgusting when bleeders like you are the main cause of overflowing animal shelters because you need to hoard cats that you refuse to take care of.
He only has the cat because his FEMALE friend bought a kitten and abandoned it when she realized it required work.
Shame on you.
You need to do better.
@@leflopjames5628my friend got debilitating cancer and couldn't take care of him
but girls dont like kitty tho
I think he needs to be able to go outside. Do cat stuff. Must be so boring to live ur whole life indoors
Get Teddy a cat buddy and keep him. You were meant for each other and are enriching each other’s lives. And a second cat will allow you to go in your business trips guilt free. The cats will take care of each other while you are away. After watching this I think you would deeply regret giving Teddy away.
i completely agree with u!
I disagree. When you're away a lot you shouldn't take on another cat! That means two cats feeling miserable. And cats don't always get along by the way.
Try a second cat buddy. If it works out, then keep them both. If not, find homes for them both.
@@Ekster77 He needs to let the cat choose the buddy - take Teddy to the shelter and let him meet the candidates.
Couldn’t agree with you more! 2nd cat, also male, similar age! And everyone will be happy ❤
Thank you for helping out your friend.
It is not easy having a fur-baby when work requires business travel.
I hope someone falls in love with kitty and reaches out to adopt.
Automated toy, ingenious!
Tough call......
Just reading the title of this video makes me want to see a video where Tim Curry voices this cat, and sings of how the man will love his toxic love.
OMGGGGGGGGG 😭💀
Fern Gully!!!! ❤
I'm not even mad he wants to get rid of Teddy. He just wants him to live his best life. Maybe you can find a home that will allow you to visit periodically and you won't lose his friendship forever.
A lot of people think he should keep Teddy, but he's clearly laid out why it's not in the cat's best interest, and I agree with him. I think Teddy will find a great home...he's such a sweetie-puss! I already have 3 cats and a large dog, so, financially speaking, adopting him is out of the question, for me, but hopefully, someone else will. Also, the comments about him "giving up" on Teddy aren't helpful. ❤
I agree. I think he is doing the right thing by putting Teddy up for adoption. He is not giving up on Teddy he is trying to do what's best for Teddy. I'm sure Bill will find the perfect pet parent(s) for Teddy.
I agree with you and him. The selfish thing would be to keep him.
Agree. You read my mind.
Yea, I think they're not great for each other.. teddy needs to find a perfect home and perfect parent for him
My neogjbour has 2 cats(abandoned one kitten) and 3 dogs and 6 chiclens. Yet she doesn't want to put the dogs on an obedience training course, and rather purchase a solicitor to argue that her dogs never barked.
I think the biggest animal lovers are the ones who can accept they're not a good fit for an animal. That takes so much self awareness and selfless love to want the best for a pet, even if it means saying goodbye. I hope Teddy finds a home with another kitty he can be friends with! Rehoming isn't evil, I really hope that the inexplicable stigma against it can eventually fade.
You're absolutely right! That's my ultimate belief as well, & couldn't have expressed that better myself!😻
He ended up keeping him.
First of all, what a great foster dad and a friend this guy is! It looks like Teddy needs a lot of attention and interaction. The suggestion to get another cat as company might work, but it doesn’t change the fact that “dad” travels a lot. There’s no guarantee that the new cat and Teddy will get along or even like each other. I think that finding Teddy a new home would be the best solution,and a very selfless and loving act for “dad” to do. I hope Teddy finds his forever home! 💕
The cat sounds like he has abandonment issues, that his original owner no longer had him and this man is gone for long stretches at a time. He needs someone who's home pretty much all the time.
Giving Teddy to Bill was obviously better than being abandoned on the side of the road.
I got my daschund Leah after her previous owners gave them to my family because they didn't want her anymore. This was so much better than being abandoned on the side of the road.
Giving Teddy to Bill was also obviously better than surrendering him to an animal shelter... or worse yet, euthanizing him. But I don't think the purpose of the comment was to suggest that Bill never should've taken Teddy. Rather, it was to commend Bill for recognizing that ultimately Teddy does need a guardian who can be around more & for taking appropriate steps to find him one.
I'm gonna talk to my grandma about this. She loves cats and I'm living there for a while to take care of my grandpa anyway, so I could totally socialize with this cat.
Can you keep us updated pls? THANKS
What if your grandma dies?
Update 1: Told my mom. Since we could have a house soon, we have decided it will be our cat. However, I still can't attempt the form until mom talks to grandma.
That kitty needs a stable living situation. Sounds as though things are not entirely solid on your end.
@@eponymousIme things are surprisingly stable over here, even with everything.
Im 52 and I grow weary of hearing about "these kids today" and negative things about our young people. These fine young people right here I find in my personal experience to be very representative of our younger generations...Im in the restaurant biz and work with tons of them. They have a lot to offer and I have faith in them to create a good future. ❤
Love it when a cat decides you're worthy of their affection😆 Especially if they've been scared,like when he hid under the bed😓 🐺
He's very happy - shows his tummy a lot - and maybe he's just a little insecure because his mommy left him with a new daddy. He plays too rough, but he will get over it!
The guy is just being honest. I think he's done exceedingly well by this ball of floof. When he mentioned that another companion cat or dog would be great, I knew he had the bases covered. It's not a great fit. But he tried his best.
Has me crying because he reminds me so much of my rag doll boy I had. Then again Mattie used to herd moles and mice INTO the apartment we had. Trust me when I say if you go on a trip and have a neighbor or friend you can trust check on him and his food and water and stuff while you’re gone it will help. As a cat person I have to warn you that you will be punished for leaving but loved even more. He’s chosen YOU.
The cat needs another cat buddy in the home! He needs company.
That's a thought
I'm finding that out too with my Blackjack in that being the only cat child may not be right for him so time to get him another sibling.
Yes and he needs a buddy that's as playful and interactive as he is. Not a chill, laid back type of cat.
@@leflopjames5628 What is wrong with you, the video makes it pretty clear that his friend was in a situation where she could no longer care for the cat. The video pretty heavily implies that it is likely a medical condition that is worsening, meaning she is unable to take the cat back to care for it. What part of this said to you that she just got bored and decided to give the cat away, other than your clearly inherent misogyny and willingness to assume the worst of people, even in the face of evidence/implication to the contrary?
@leflopjames5628 I kinda forgot about the friend because it seems like his cat now lol. Maybe she is going to be incapacitated for a long period of time, or she is someplace that doesn't allow pets. I agree, she should take some responsibility for her cat, it shouldn't just be this guy's sole responsibility.
Holy hell I am the perfect person for this cat. I check every box. Living in rural desert without a car 75% of the time with dog and cats
Oh my, Teddy feel’s he’s home and fell for U right away… If U must re-home him yet again I pray He finds a prefect family that can help him forget his bond with U. 🙏🏽👱🏻♀️🐾🐾🌹
I like that he's taking Teddy's needs more into consideration than he is his love for the cat. Love means a lot, but it can also lead to a bad life for the cat/pet. It's a hard choice to make.
Omg! My brothers cat is just like this when I come over. It’s just how she loves 😭😂
Oh no, I just got to the date part. You need help!! Maybe another kitty lol
@@meredithrollins6429 The energy does wane in a cat as they get a little older which can help if they are over physical
Teddy is 100% like my cat Genji! He LOVES to play and anytime my attention would solely be focused on something else, he would attack me! He would get so precise that he knew when I was in a match in a game so I wouldn't see it coming. He is a good boy, but he would do it often. We ended getting a kitten earlier this year and there have been zero incidents since. Maybe a few stares but I feel that getting him a cat buddy helped so much! Love to Teddy! And you're a hero, you gave him peace and love!
I NEED HEALING
The dragon becomes me!
The thumbnail makes it look like the guy's terrified of the cat. It's hilarious.
This guy is a really good person.🧡💛 I know he will ulitmately do what is best for this little guy. What a friend doing what he did. Just an all around stand up human.
Seriously! 🩵🤍
When I go out of town (rarely and for short periods) my friends/family don’t really want to watch my cat… and this guy stepped in, in a huge way, for his friend. That’s just in-credible! 🫂
Yes he has something extra special in a person,I get good vibes from him
I'm really sorry to hear his friend is ill and had to give up her/his cat. Our pets bring us such love, comfort and joy, all the things his friend needs at such a difficult time. I hope his friend recovers and gets to have playdates with Teddy.
Keep him! 🐾🐾🐾
I hope your friend is doing okay.
I'm glad he figured out the cat was bored. Hope he's also finding time to really interact, play and challenge him before bedtime also as that will nip some bad behaviors in the bud before the bloom.
He clearly loves you! He's happy and SO handsome. That sweet little face is precious!❤❤❤❤
That's ur cat. That's just how life is. He's family nothing will ever change that
Poor thing must be so confused as to where his previous owner went to and why he has a new owner? He probably feels insecure and is poking about with this new guy to test him and see what he is all about. These animals have complex emotions and little mind/brains that can not comprehend what is happening to their safety/security/familiarity. So just love him and try to be patient with him. Hopefully something wonderful will happen one way or another with this little baby.
What a good human to take on a cat and then keep him when plans change until he finds a new forever home. ❤
This kitty reminds me of my first cat. He was a menace. And I miss him terribly
My kitty is a menace too. But, I love her to bits, and she does love me. She’s just…..the boss. 😂
This cat would love to watch "Cat TV" which shows birds feeding (loads of CZcams channels out there).
Made my cat learn to chill a lot more.
That cat sure is in love with you! Cats are very choosy on who they trust and bond with. All his behavior is a sure sign he trusts you and really likes you.
Cats are adorable and when they choose you they are like sticky tape
“It’s complicated” is one of the best definitions of a great cat-human relationship! Keep him. He’s really bonded with you.
Gotta love the irony of a grown dude flinching at his little kitty whilst wearing a “Superman” t-shirt, lol. 😂 Part of me thinks keep him b/c of how attached the kitty has become, but obviously this guy is just trying to do what’s best. 🤷♂️ Either way mate, good luck whichever way you go & thanks for sharing. 👍
Teddy! His mom is sick, his foster dad may surrender him… and so I hope that he gets the best forever home ever ❤ Love you Teddy! Thanks Foster Dad for all that you’ve done!
The foster Dad ended up adopting the cat.
Good luck to Teddy's mom and to him; hope he gets the perfect forever- and -ever home soon.
This had me laughing till i cried. I also love how phylisofical and analytical he is.🤣
*Philosophical*
The cat, or the dude? 😀😉
The dude's smart to realize the commitment of pet ownership, the former owner was smart to find an exceptional and kind person to care for her cat when she couldn't anymore.
Since the OP adopted Archie, I hope it all works out well. His concerns were valid and considerate. Archie was probably acting out from losing his home, person, stability.
Omg.. I know EXACTLY how he feels😆
This is the beauty of fostering. The foster REALLY gets to know what the animal needs so a successful match can be found. For instance, this cat would be a terrible match for my 80 year old mom (who adores cats and has always had them) but straight from the shelter this cat would have had to go and that would be painful but necessary for all parties. Being a foster is one of the most selfless ways to help animals (and people!)
Wow I just saw, you seemingly have this sweet fluffy boy already for 2years... ...-
Thank you for having taken him in at first, innitially 🙏
For your close friend, I hope for her health..♥️
❤Please, do not give up on Teddy, he adores you! You are his "Teddy Bear"! Thank you for being patient, kind and sweet with this Fur-Angel! ❤
He's not "giving up on" Teddy. He's thinking compassionately and responsibly about what would make Teddy happy.
I used to be only a dog lover, but because of "The Dodo," I have come (grown) to be a cat lover also. And if my living situation allowed for it, I'd definitely give this adorable fluffy "stalker" a permanent home. This "stalker's" foster dad deserves respect, because very few persons think of the long-term effects of how an an animal (once someone's pet) will react because of a change in its environment or surroundings. Best wishes for this foster dad & his fluffy adorable, extremely lovable (to me) "stalker." 😁😎👍
You can tell that the cat absolutely adores him by the way he shows his belly and how the cat constantly vies for his attention.
When my cat goes into attack mode, he gets a time out in our enclosed front porch. He can come back in when he wants, but even a minute or two out there seems to re-set his brain, and he's back to normal again. Cat toys like "kickers" are also really helpful as well. Good luck!
I hope someone adopts Teddy and gives him a loving home! 😍🥰🤠
This was one of the nicest things I've seen on YT, too bad we live in Sweden otherwise Teddy would have had a home here with some equally quirky and nice furry monsters. There is a lot of hunting in Teddy, you have made the right decision even if it is sad.
Prayers to the old owner! Hope she gets better again!
She doesn't want the cat anymore.
So? It’s still polite to send a wish of good health to a sick person, regardless of if she can take the cat back or not.
I was helping a stray cat out once till I found him a home. He was use to being outdoors running around. When I had brought him in, he started attacking certain people and leaving blood on their legs, so I let him out and he was fine after that, he came home everyday for dinner and breakfast and after a nap, was off, but very sweet to people after that. So I made sure the new owner knew that.
Ohh let's find this FLOOF a home! What a stellar dude for doing what's right for Teddy :)
Bill and Ted's big adventure...
Keep the cat.
HE LOVES YOU!!!
Bless your heart sweetie. i think Teddy has his hooks in you. he is such an adorable cat and so pretty too!
What a great video! Good luck finding a home for him.
0:57-1:03🤣😂 I loved this story! Hopefully you find Teddy his forever home.
He has “Single kitten syndrome”! He definitely needs a buddy. ❤
He’s the type of friend you want in your life forever❤
I had the same problem and when I went to work the cat was alone all day. My cat even looks like yours. The answer is to give him a kitten to play with. My cat is happy now, and he doesn't cut me anymore.
That's a sad ending when you said loving Teddy means you are willing to let him go. You seem to be perfect with each other.
please make sure Teddy goes to a good forever home he seems like such a sweet boy
Ooow I think Teddy just needs a play mate. Another cat that he can focus on, take care of and play with.
Keep Him, he's already been through enough. He's beautiful, and Hamsum!
Don't overthink this! Look how happy, secure, thriving, entertained and loved he is living with you! He clearly bonded with you and chose YOU as his person. I also travelled a lot and was away a lot for work, but my cat was worth all the extra efforts of finding cat sitters and finding temporary solutions when needed.
You sound like a good friend, thank you for taking in Teddy. A lot of people don't go above and beyond for others and I'm sure your friend appreciated how much help and love you offered when she and Teddy needed it ❤
Cats are very social, and they need someone to be with all the time. And prolly part of the reason he's clingy is he still misses his mom. It will break your heart to part ways but that's real love. Putting his needs ahead of your own.
you‘re making the right choice finding him a home with more people and or animals. Leaving a cat for that long period of time is not best for him. It demonstrates you do love him. I hope you find him a wonderful forever home that checks all the Teddy boxes.
Teddy is so adorable!! What a lucky guy to have such a stellar cat! 😊😊
This guy was just as hilarious as his cat - love 'em both! I would be amazed if he doesn't find a family or retired couple to adopt this little guy - he just needs full-time attention - no biggie
What a sweet, quirky 'love story.' He's an adorable floof. Once a cat takes a shine to you there's no letting up. Wishing for him to be with you for keeps. You have a good heart.
I have a kinda similar cat. Little guy always wanted to have my attention, was becoming actually aggressive by boredom (not playing), I adopted two kittens and they fell madly in love. It took time, and still we have our habits of training him for tricks to busy his mind, I also used to walk out with him every day to sooth him, and little by little he stopped attacing me violently every day. Now it's a rare occurrence, only when we really disagree on something. But he still loves the attention and demands it a lot. So I will never know if he is happy I guess, but he does love his little sisters that he cuddle every day, and sometimes play with.
Thank you for sharing this video. I didn’t even know that I needed the good feeling I received seeing your beautiful. It’s adorable. Your adorable. Teddy is adorable. Thank you again 😹….and then I got to the end. I hope you both find the best situation for everyone. Good luck.
This grabbed my heart~ you are such a sweet guy ~ so loving and in tune with what is going on with Teddy!! The right situation will present itself ~ I know you will do what is right for both of you. Sending you light and love.
He misses his mama❤
He is so sweet.
My son had a cat like that; when the cat was bad he would throw it out of the room (gently). The cat caught on pretty quickly and they had an understanding.
can we please get an update if/and when he finds his forever home? I know this was only posted 6 days ago and these things take time. just hope to hear where he lands and how he's doing.
Yes. We'll be making an update video
I love how they filmed this in the style of a horror comedy like "what we do in the shadows".
Goddammit, man, it‘s not that complicated! You love him, he loves you. Get him a buddy & all will be fine!
OP, plse don't allow others to guilt-trip you into kping a cat you neither asked for nor wanted, especially if it doesn't fit into your routine. It doesn't make you less of an animal lover.
OP don’t put yourself in this situation to begin with since you are clearly extremely selfish and now allowed him to get attached to someone else just to look to get rid of him. Worst video I’ve seen in a while.
@@reelenzyou need to def chill out, and stop replying to a bunch of comments with your own opinion on how to take care of animals. It takes more than love for an animal to thrive. Stop being insecure and petty.
@@cowboykissr A bunch = 2? Why is your opinion here more important than mine? You need to make a better argument in the future, especially since it’s clear this dude was just making this video for attention.
@@reelenzSelfish for... Accepting to take care of a cat, which is hard work, for a sick friend? Sure, that makes a lot of sense 🙄 As he said, it was supposed to be temporary, and he was available for temporary, not for a life-long commitment. Being responsible and understanding that the situation isn't good for you and/or the animal isn't a bad thing. I'm glad he found a way to keep the cat anyway because, selfishly, it hurts like hell to have to rehome a pet, even if it's the best for them
@@reelenzimagine being this detached from reality. Bro, touch grass please, I'm begging you
There are already millions of homeless cats. Teddy is lucky to have you, even if you don't think it's the "ideal" home for him. He loves you and is comfortable there. Adopt a kitten from a shelter to be his little buddy, live your life, and do your best for him. It'll all work out. Good luck! ❤
What part of this don't you get. I hate when people force their narratives on others. He clearly said he's gone weeks at a time. Even though the cat is attached to him, the cat needs a companion. It needs consistent attention. Getting another car doesn't help this dude one bit. Think about the human needs sometimes. His life shouldn't be dictated by a cat. He helped his friend out, ownership of something you never intended to keep forever shouldn't be a life sentence. I love animals too but I'm tired of the people who say the "he loves you" crap. As if he's obligated to change his life around for the protection of something he never wanted. If he didn't want one, why would he get two? There's someone who will love and appreciate this cat unconditionally. It's just not him. Prioritize your life, not an animal!
@@Jonas-nf2bcwow, is everything ok at home?
@@LourdesGzz I'm just tired of all of you sicko's who think someone should pause their life for a freaking animal... Get a LIFE!!!
@@Jonas-nf2bc Yeah, but he said he loves the cat, so surely it's at least worth seriously considering keeping him.Also, people are only trying to give advice.I personally haven't ever commented "keep him"...but when l see people say they "love" an animal in front of it then you should try to not uproot the little guy again.The guy is obviously wanting to hear peoples advice as well or the video wouldn't be on youtube, it'd be on a cat adoptiOn site, so STHU.
@@Vaudevillain121 I've been in that situation of having to re-home a pet so this hits home. I loved my animals forever but it came to a point where it was affecting my finances because everything revolved around them. All you hear is that "they love you" but no one cares whether I could pay the bills or was homeless because I had to turn down jobs that were not local. So there comes a time where you make the BEST decision for the animal and YOURSELF. That was the best decision I made. I sacrificed 11 years and struggled. So when people look only at the animals best interest and avoid giving a damn about the person's best interest, that is a problem with me.
Wish i had a cat like him
I would honestly adopt him in a second, no questions asked!
That looks exactly like my old cat, Lily... exactly. wow....
Oh dear, my friend I have some news--Teddy has imprinted on you.
As in, in Teddy's mind, you are the human of his little heart. The bees knees if you will. You're the best thing since cap nip and tuna combined.
He's a very intelligent cat, more, lots more mental stimulation will do wonders for the slight ill-behaviour at times. You are indeed correct, Teddy is what is called love biting and the scaling you or swats are to bring your attention back to him.
--Teddy is fully in love with whom he sees you as, his hoooman; you. 💞
He loves everything about you in fact aside from when your attention is on something or someone else.
This is where getting Teddy more mental stimulation comes in.
The auto toys and games are an excellent start, you will want to pick up some more. Add a few more scratching posts, a window seat and try some kitty tv with birds or smaller prey that dashes around on screen. See if that sparks his attention.
Perhaps just take a beat--and try a few more things before seeking to replace him.
Because it does really seem like he has imprinted on you. 💓😻
Teddy by the by is a magnificent cat.
He's is Gorgeous! And very, very smart.
May I please just suggest, making a few modifications and trying a few more of the above mentioned prior to the other decision?
That would be such a lovely thing to do for Teddy's sake.
I think you are fond enough for Teddy, that I know he hopes you will as well. He really is rather majestic and he adores you so.
Hope you keep us updated.
Cheers! 🙂
having the same "issue" with a cat I was fostering, and decided to adopt her. Always express the discomfort when they claw too much, they understand.
He’s a beautiful cat!
So cuuute 😊😅😁😂🐱
This heartwarming video beautifully captures the transformative power of love and compassion. It's a touching reminder of how even the most challenging and misunderstood creatures can find their way into our hearts. The bond between this man and his foster cat is truly a testament to the incredible capacity of both humans and animals to heal and nurture each other. Have you ever had a similar experience with a rescue pet? Share your heartwarming stories below and let's spread the message that love can heal even the most 'toxic' situations. 🐾❤
It's so nice to see someone who cares about what's best for the pet... Even people who mean well seem to seldom consider the animal's needs. Thanks for the upload!
I love that despite it not fully being his responsibility he has taken the toll quite seriously and became a friend to the cat and it’s awesome!
Please don’t let him go. Losing two guardians would be so hard 😭😭😭😭. He just needs a buddy xxx
You can tell he is selfish. I don’t like him at all.
Animals passed from person to person really affects them negatively. Dont turn him in to a shelter because there is no such thing as a no kill shelter.
poor dude, god bless u
You are such a kind person taking care of this cat when it was not yours. Its ok to say no and you are not a bad person. Teddy will find the right home.
