What other furry friends do you want to learn more about?
Capybaras!
I want to learn whether or not it's fur... cause I'm pretty sure its hair. ;^)
Rabbits and/or Guinea pigs.

Declawing is banned in my country (switzerland). A pet isnt a doll. If you cannot handle the nasty stuff (like scratching), you shouldnt get one.
My point exactly. If you cant handle the downsides of a cat, dont get one.
Exactly... If you can't stand barking, don't get a dog. If you can't stand scratching, don't get a cat. People still don't get that and treat animals like they were toys. I moved in to a completely new house with new furniture etc, and my cat obviously wanted to try them very quickly. Luckily carts are quite easy to manipulate and we had a chance to quickly move her scratchy needs to other objects specifically designed for it. It's called positive reinforcement. Your cat will do anything you want if you have a good relationship, they're not stupid, you just need to know the way to change their behaviour. And there is a special tape designed for the areas that your cat won't stop scratching, put the tape on and suddenly there is no scratching at all.
Ur a greattt human wish everyone was like u
I've always trimmed my cats nails when they were very little. Just where it curves over. It's not so bad.They just get a little wiggly that's all.
Properly trimming a cat's claws is a good way to prevent getting scratched (and also to not get poked when they knead on you), got to make sure to do it just where it curves over, otherwise if you go deeper back you cut into the wick and that's very painful and very bloody. You need to trim your cat's claws if they're an indoor cat, and make sure you have plenty of scratchy posts.
If you declaw your cat, other behavioral problems will also occur due to the pain. The litter now becomes very horrible to touch, and they will use your bed or carpet instead. Please don't declaw, it's an amputation.
Alice Bones my cat was declawed before we knew it was a bad thing 14 years ago and she’s perfectly fine, the sweetest ever, and she’s also a great hunter still. I know now that it isn’t needed to declaw but this is a lie. All cats I know that were declawed are fine
Trimming a cat's claws is quite easy, declawing is dangerous for many reasons.
I'd kill anyone if they would done something like that to my cats...
If you are worried about your wallpapers or furniture.... dont get a cat.
If you feel uncomfortable with scratches in your skin (because YOU made a mistake) ... then a cat is not for you.
If you can't accept nature as it is .... a pet is not for you at all.
Declawing is animal torture!!
IF there was a medically justified reason why this would be needed, and then likely on one or two toes, then fine, the cat will do better like that than with a raging infection in the foot, but otherwise, yeah, I agree with you.
I worked in a cat shelter. We made adopters sign an agreement not to declaw.
One woman went ahead and declawed the cat anyway. The cat began soiling the carpets, the bed, etc., so the woman returned her.
The next adopter never had any such trouble.
What a trashy idiot, she deserves to face some form of punishment. She just wanted a cat for the sakes of having a cat, I guess..
Was she able to return, or did the request get rejected?
Dude thats just straight on harsh for a woman. Theres like 11k or 11b cats and you decide to rampage on youtube for this cat... What the hell? Like i mean dude, why?
+Lifeisbamboo AJ
idiot
+sanctumis thanks for your attitude
i hate the myth about cats being standoffish or disloyal. Having lived with cats for the ENTIRE 11 years of my life (5 for the first 2 years, 2 for the next 8 and 1 for the next 3 years) I can tell u it's so untrue and it proper irritates me.
To each his or her own !!!
What do you mean "To each his or her own" Cats objectively aren't standoffish or disloyal, if they are it's because they're being mistreated (or have been badly treated in the past) or are unwell (in pain or suffering with some sort of mental health issue) or are feral (even then most feral cats are alright around humans).
iBeAShooketh Nope. Your simply projecting. Wishful thinking/ confirmation bias.
everywhere I go cats are near me and the best cat near me was a cat by mt grandmas, we lived at her for a few weeks while looking for a house, 2k+ miles away, but every summer we visit my g ma and the cat ALWAYS comes when we go there, the smart cat even cam at the same time we always go even when we couldnt go because of money issues
I've lived with cats my whole entire 11 years, only with two in life. Mime now is very different from the one I left back in my hometown with good people.
Good you mentioned the declawing thing.. that's just brutal animal abuse. Don't get a cat if you can't handle some claws.
a real cat lover, gets scratched and says, cool a new scar
@@gregoryeverson741 u da man!
All of these comments about how declawing is abuse is kind of making me feel bad. If you knew anything about cats, you would know that there is more than one procedure to declawing your cat. The most common way does in fact cut off part of the pad (which wouldn't be equivalent to your entire fingers, but rather the tips of them.) There's a way that uses a laser, which doesn't cut the pad, however, it is expensive. And there's a way that doesn't cut the pad, but it's very time consuming so less vets perform this way. My cats are declawed, (by the third procedure listed) and they act perfectly fine. Please think twice before calling declawing abuse.
@Gregory Everson Thats exaclty my reaction when I get scratched but I don't care about it.
Well I am allergic to the claws if they get into my skin
My aunt got her cat declawed after I told her not to do it. Vet screwed up and the cat almost lost it's arm, then almost died. *Declawing a cat is inhumane*
You need to cut connections with that person and her vet. She done something that would be illegal in most civilized countries.
thesuicidefox she's a disgusting human being. Poor cat... I feel sick
So... You would rather it living a horrible life in the streets or have it put down because of it's destructive habits?
Blayke N Lmao just buy a scratching board. It's cheaper and better than declawing
Declawing a cat is inCATe HAHAHAHA!
Its so sad that some people think that cats are just mean snobby animals. If you treat your cat right and love it, it will love you back.
kitteh catto EXACTLY
Yeah
100% TRUE. Cats are like anyone else - if you treat them like they're stupid or unloving, that's all you'll see. It's people who are too stupid to look beyond their own bad thoughts, and accept cats for what they are - AWESOME
LOVE your picture.
True.I have a cat and he is very loving.
@@Tonybmw1988 They're not human pleasers like dogs are. They do what they want when they want. lol
I have never heard of "declawing" before. What a cruel practice, I can't believe that it is legal to do it in the US.
I agree, but change is happening, several proposals out there and some are succeeding, Denver CO has just banned declawing cats, change is happening, and we should be excited.
I’m glad that most US vets won’t do it.
It's crazy that it's still legal in the US, it's illegal in pretty much every other country.
I know right, this is why I want to get into politics one day, to stop blatantly wrong stuff like this.
several nations outlaw doing such things to animals, not just declawing but also tail docking, devocalization, ear cropping, tooth removal, branding, dehorning and a lot of other things for a wide variety of animals
If you need to declaw a cat, you're not equipped to have one.
My cat is declawed and he is just fine. He is now seven years old and doesn't have any health issues due to declawing.
Rick J I still count it as mutilation. It'd be like defingering a baby when it was born so it couldnt get it's hands on stuff
Rick J you were just darn lucky!
Just trim the thing! why remove it entirely ?
Rick J Well I'm sure if I chopped your finger tips off you wouldn't suffer any health issues either....
Declawing is horrible!! My cat Boston gets his nails trimmed as needed. He won't let me trim them so we go to the vet for a professional trim. It's worth it to keep him safe, pain free for both of us
I had a whole paragraph down until I realized that there really is no problem with having a veterinarian trim your cat's nails instead of doing it yourself. lol
We had to take our darling to the vet to get her claws trimmed, she stopped scratching them down as she got old and we didn't want to risk making a mistake doing it ourselves.
Vet was always super gentle with her and we had no problems.
Triell Blackwater, I carefully clip my cat's nails every two weeks and thankfully, they have gotten used to it, or else I would have a ton of scratches by now :p
It's a good idea to get them used to it while they're young, start when they're a couple of months old, be gentle, and give them treats and massage their ears when you're done to make them associate it with good things.
Declawing should be illegal. Anyone thinking on doing it to ther cat shouldn't have one in the first place.
Doing that is animal abuse.
declawing is illegal in some countries
It's illegal in my country.
Amen!
Agreed, should only be done if medically necessary (using frostbite comparison, you wouldn't want to chop off your limbs, unless it was medically necessary - like frostbite, severe infection or life-threatening stuff)
I declawed my cat. She is an inside-outside cat. She still has her back claws though
As a lifelong cat owner, I can definitely get behind all of these on this list. Nice video!
When we went to the shelter to get a new family member, we thought it would take a few days to pick our next cat. Nope. We looked at 6 cats and one of them liked both of us and when he saw us leaving, he got in the window and started howling. After lunch, we went back and adopted him. He walked right into the carrier and laid down. He's been here a little over a year and he's almost completely trained. He's much different than our kitty who passed away but he's awesome. Loves to give bumps (hugs).
awesome that you adopted
That is so sweet! I have three cats (Technically two), the other is adopted between me and my two friends, the two friends live together so this cat with fangs and three legs who lived somewhere on the street but had stopped going back home when his owners had a baby sort of adopted us, one by one we all fell under his charms and now since their cat gets along so well with the little guy, they’ve taken him, with consent of the original owners. So now we all have an extra cat. Wouldn’t have it any other way. Sometimes cats choose their owners.
That cat picked YOU!
When I decided I needed a cat (after I told the neighborhood cat who would sleep on my car to be nicer to me and she brought me a giant dead rat), I picked out two cats in the shelter to get to know a little better. They both hid under the desk.
Binks, the third cat, was nervous but she stood on my thighs and let me pet her. Which I why I brought her home.
Doc Lewis thank you for adopting. You saved two lives...your new fur baby and the space that has opened up for another special kitty who, hopefully, will find his/her forever home.
To people who are not cat people, cats are homogeneous. To those of us who like/love cats, we can see the differences in their personalities.
I've actually never heard of someone picking a cat for personality based on their fur.
It's not so much personality, per se, some people don't want black cats because of their association with the occult and superstition. Witches and black cats crossing your path being bad luck.
John Leak yes they want a pretty colour or if the perosn is picking a cat they know what personality "Matches" which fur they skip most like the siamese cat most epeople this they look pretty and they are but I find all cats pretty I don't know why😂
I'd say it's more of a subconscious decision.
Vivivenus Yeh us we were taught them
Colours don't indicate personality except when you are talking about pedigree cats like Siamese, Russian Blue, etc, you are talking about narrow bloodlines where their personalities do follow their breeds a lot more closely.
My cat return to home after 4 months.. i searched him everywhere but i didnt found him..there was rainy season for last 3 months.. i thought he died.. but suddenly 3 days ago he return to home.. i cant believe it.. thanks God.. 😄
That's great, glad it's back!
Vidy
He was probably hungry..
thanks for your story Vidy. I'm not loosing hope Bubby!
same thing happened to my cat once she was out for 3 weeks but she came back too
Look my dp thats my cat..😄
People who says that cats are not as intelligent as dogs, or that they are not as friendly as dogs, are simply too stupid to understand cats.
I feel like cats are smarter then dogs because they choose not to listen to you instead of mindlessly obeying.
Maybe. But its also because dogs and cats are very different. Dogs are very social animals, living in groups, and cats live mostly alone. So i believe their intelligence lies in different areas. Its important for a dog to fit into the group, and its important for a cat to be able to live alone. But cats can also be social of course. Mine are very social, but only with me and my family, they dont like other cats or humans. Cats have other expressions than dogs, and people that dont like cats, dont understand them.
Zilver, Cats are very smart however you won't be able to hire one as a sniffing-cat in the airport or as a rescue-cat. Its strange that dogs have such a high intelligence and yet are used for meat in South Korea.
If I had to choose Id say cats are smarter. They just fucking understand certian things that dogs can't wrap their fucking heads around.
No its harder to train a cat, exactly because its not as social, as a dog, but that doesnt mean the dog is smarter. But you cant leave a dog outside, without food, and expect it to survive on its own, especially not in a cold country. Does it mean the cats smarter? From the beginning we chose to live with dogs and cats, because of how they are. Thats why we dont train tracking cats, and let the dog out to catch the mice. But i must say most cats seem more calm and thinking than some dogs.
Declawing should be illegal.. the place I adopted my cat from made me sign a contract that I wouldn’t declaw her
Declawing is illegal in many countries.
Many adoption centers won't let people who plans to declaw adopt a cat. Same goes to vet, some of them won't even accept declawing cats. I recently got a kitten and i had to sign a contract that i wouldnt declaw him.
Omg! I said the same thing! It's absolutely barbaric!
We adopted from 2 different places and they both asked if we wanted to declaw them and included no declawing in the contract.
porcelain you should fuck off.
Difference from a cat and a dog,
One is loyal. The other won't tell the police about the weed you have.
Erik Ho 😂😂
you got some catnip
@@SoroBoio you want to be scolded for stealing my sentence, nibber boi??
The loyal one is the cat
Brittany Diaz *totally*
(This is sarcasm if you can’t tell lol)
I have three indoor cats. Every few months we trim their claws with a proper claw cutter. Painfree and they still have there claws. Just a bit blunter for a while. Our cats love a cuddle so they get a fuss while we do it and don’t bat an eyelid to it. Surprised it’s still legal in the US
i want to declaw my cats.
haha jkjk but i want to trim them but im scared they might have difficulties climbing things. (i have 3 outdoor cats)
@@idvvenus If your cats are outdoor cats, I definitely wouldn't trim their claws! ^^ They need them to climb but also to protect themselves from possible danger
yep thats why I dont trim them c:
Me too. That isn't 'declawing' anyway, just nail-trimming - as we do with our own nails. My cats come to me and ask me to trim theirs if the scratching post hasn't done it to their satisfaction. One liies on her back and purrs meanwhile. No 'declawing'...EVER. .That is cruel.
Me and my friend often debate about the act of declawing cats. She tells me, "I want to cuddle it without it scratching me." Then get a hamster or a gerbil for God's sake, don't mutilate the damn cat for your satisfaction.
Silver Frog AMEN !!!
Just tell her this. “Cats won’t claw if they want to be cuddled.” If you make sure that they’re okay with cuddling then you won’t get clawed. Likewise with getting up. If a cat shows signs of wanting to get up and off of you then let them go or they’ll scratch you because they’ll become annoyed.
@@carrieloman6489 If a cat claws you,, it means they dont want to cuddle you. Maybe there's a problem in the relationship but that's bassicaly cutting someone's fingers because they dont want to hug you
Adam Gawlowski I know that. I was just saying that there are certain signs you can look for. Also, it’s not just with cuddling. If the don’t want to be touched then they might paw at your hands before bringing their claws out and scratching at you. My cat does this but I can tell when she’s just playing. With my younger brother, however, she almost always has her claws out and is aggressive because he’s too rough with her when “playing” and she doesn’t like it.
Having a cat declawed involves removing the 1st joint of the cat's paw. Would you like to go around without a knuckle on each finger? Not me.
If you think about declawing your cat, you shouldn't have a cat. It's that simple. Get a fish instead.
They shouldn't even get a fish, get a pet rock instead.
They shouldn't even get a pet rock. People who do that are that rude.
My cats are declawed. They're perfectly fine.
SwagishPug You should not have cats.
@@swagishpug
I wont judge but what was your reasons if its not a medical reason than yeah your selfish my cat has scratch me heaps of times but not once i think about removing hes claws. Its my own fault but i love him enough to feed him and hug him and if he scratches me for annoying him its my own fault.
and we must stop the barbaric act of declawing cats .... it is wrong
That is your opinion. If it is so wrong, why do vets still do it?
Rick J They do it because theirs a demand and they make money off of the procedure. Many vets will not do it because they actually care more about the animals than money or losing a client.
it's not only wrong but in most cases it changes the behavior of the cat....
+Rick J Some opinions are just wrong. So if you're pro declawing, then you're wrong. Like the video is saying, declawing is like cutting away all your fingers at the first joint. Would you like that happen to you? You won't have to cut your fingernails anymore, wouldn't that be practical? Yeah, I don't think you would want that. So why do it to your cat? It's just CRUEL. As for the vets, well just like doctors for humans, some of them are too attracted to money.
If you're pro spaying and neutering, then you're wrong. It's removing the sex organs. Would you like that to happen to you? Yeah, I don't think you would want that. So why do it to your cat? It's just cruel.
My first wife had a black cat which she raised from a day old kitten. He was extremely affectionate with everyone he met, and (no surprise) especially so with her. He even had a particular meow he used when she called to him, a sort of double meow that he never used any other time. He loved to play in my ex's hair, and one day while she was sleeping I held up a strand of hair and went "Oooooohhh!" to which he came running. From then on and for the rest of his life he associated that sound with her hair. I miss that cat more than I miss her, and she was pretty.
Lol
Puss before hoes bro
Divine Feline
Good men before sexist idiots.
A few years ago while my family and I were outside I saw a black cat outside she was a stray and we decided to take her in because she was extremely skinny.
We named her Jet but everyone calls her Kitty.
She was declawed by the previous owner and it breaks my heart knowing that she was in pain.
Isn't it heartless to just declaw a cat and set them free alone??
To this day we still own her and we love her so much and she got really chubby.
I have a black cat and he is the nicest friendliest and really social like no other I've met earlier. Really special cat.
johan béve black cats are awesome!
same! love my black cat they're sooo clever
johan béve my black cat is so friendly too. Just goes to show all cat's personalities are different.
Bitches And Hoes So true!
Meanwhile
I got a female white cat
And she's practically bipolar
One minute you're petting her and she's purring
The next she's attacking your hand for what ever reason, not hissing or running off or anything, just being mean to your hand til you get tired of it and let her have the entire chair
You don't "choose" a cat. They choose you, unless they are from a litter by a cat you already have. Even then, they will decide whether they like you or not.
Yup. I got adopted by a stray 2 years ago. I wasn't looking to get a cat, but that cat was looking to get a human. I think he did pretty well! lol Spoiled little....
Mystress1980 Same! I've got 4 strays all from my backyard and part of a gang that are still there
Daniel Bigham my cat and I chose each other! I went to the pet store on Saturday (adoption day), and we just looked at each other, and I knew I had my work cut out for me to convince the house to let me bring her home...
Next day, she's snuggled up to me in the car, burying her face into my elbow because she was scared 😭 Poor baby...but we've been best friends ever since!
Nadz that sucks...but thankfully there are loads of people that would love to take them in! ^^-
So, cats are wands and I'm a wizard? Sweet!
Declawing a cat is inhumane!!!
And if you declaw your cat, and he/she likes to go outdoors, the poor cat can no longer defend itself, risking the cat to serious dangers. Also the cat can have some serious infections. Will have trouble using the litter because it just hurts too damn much. Can't walk properly because of the pain. Can have trust issues with humans. Will be living a sad life.
How would you feel if someone cut off the first joints of your fingers and toes?!
If you can't handle a cat BEING a cat, then don't friggin get one!
Those who deal with furniture being damaged, buy a cat scratching post (of different kinds to see which works best for your cat: cardboard, wood, carpet, jute)! And trim their nails every 2 to 4 weeks by a professional if your furbaby is a hassle to handle for nail trimming :)
The going outside risks were what made me decide as a kid it wasn't a good idea (my family cat loved going outside). And indoor cats can escape.
And about trimming, treats help with the process :) A treat after each paw works for my cat, though it took a few times for it to click for him that done paw = treat
Both of my cats are declawed. They also go outside. They go out into the patio, which is fenced, and they are just fine.
SwagishPug If you think a cat should not be able to scratch you or your furniture, you shouldnt have a cat.Simple.
SwagishPug you really should feel bad just imagine how your poor cats feel
Jay Kay that is the main reason not to declaw an outdoor cat. It now has no defense. Common Sense !!!
*my black cat*
Sleeps on my lap
Meows when he's being hurt
Never claws anything
Is a small fat boi
Raises my brother
Brings me mice and food
Raises the neighbors dog
Slow blinks
Purrs when I walk by
Always rubs against me
Me: this... is too good
same with mine. my cat always purrs when we are around him even if we're not petting him in anyway. he is just so happy to be with us, and he brings mice and birds. but he is skinnier than our other fat boiis.
That's SO FUNNY!
My cat and I talk ALL THE TIME! Friends think it's weird but we definitely get each other.
We do too, but Harrington the cat is more sarcastic than I.
Lëslie Avighna that's so cute😊
I don't think it's weird. But then I talk to animals and why not.
Indeed. I got my two cats when they were kittens. Within days I understood my cats very well. Both cats (they are siblings) use different "language" (purrs, miouws and other guttural sounds) to talk to me and each uses these sounds individually. But I understand them very well (and so they do understand me). And.... learn to "understand" their tail!
My two cats Alex and Paquita are brother and sister from the same litter. I brought them home when their mama Daisy weaned them. Alex and Paquita are very different. Paquita has moved out and stays with other people a few doors down, although she occasionally visits. I go by her place most every day and talk with her - she's black and beautiful. Alex is quieter and likes staying close to home, but he visits my upstairs neighbor and friend - his Uncle Fred. Alex BTW is orange. I still see their mama Daisy as she lives with my friend Nancy.
I adopted my cat last September from my local shelter. He had an injured paw from when he was on the street, no one knew his age and there was no record of him. They called him Rory and estimated that he's around 4 years old, had a completely clean bill of health and his paw would heal fine. So I brought him home and I spent 3 days n my room with him until he was comfortable enough to meet my dog and explore the house. Turns out he's a Brown Tabby/Bengal mix and an absolute gem of a cat, more obedient than my dog. I can relate to him, we're both stubborn, laid back, calm and loyal.
i love your cat already haha
I already knew that declawing a cat is considered animal cruelty. Claws are a huge part of a cat's life. Cats rely so heavily on their claws to do the most basic things, such as climbing, catching prey. And cats will only scratch you repeatedly if they feel threatened, so this definitely proves that anyone who declaws a cat is genuinely an animal abuser.
To the people who support declawing a cat: How would YOU like it if your teeth were removed because others were worried that you would bite too much? How would you like it if you could only eat runny foods for the rest of your life? It's the exact same pain a cat goes through without claws.
declawing=removing nails. omfg i hate thinking about it..
Not just removing nails. Amputating the toes. The claws grow directly out of the bone, so the entire last joint of each toe is cut off. Cats are digitigrade animals, meaning they walk on their toes (look at the skeletal structure of a cat paw) so a declawed cat has to put its entire weight on the stumps of its amputated toes for the rest of its life.
It was invented so that the cats used as bait and killed in dog-fighting rings wouldn't fight back and hurt the dogs. The fact that it's still carried out is horrifying.
@@aim-to-misbehave5674 the not you know...
Not to mention, if your cat manages to get outside he won't be able to defend himself.
i wish people were also getting aware that giving bath to cats is bad as well...
I don't choose cat, cat choose me only they accepted
when i got my last cat from the shelter i knew he was the right pick, played with him in the room for awhile, and he sat by the door w8ing to go home
My current cat was in a cage with other cats in other cages. She reached out and pulled on me. So I just thought "okay you win."
Just like human, you can't just buy companion and force them to accept you lol
I don’t support declawing cats in any way, but it’s amazing how cats can adapt to the harshest of conditions. My step dad had the front claws removed on my kitten while I was growing up, and she still ended up being an amazing huntress. She would jump and whip her back legs out, using those back claws to grab her target and then bite the hell out of it.
My real dad has a cat that had an accident that led to an amputation of one leg. He still protects the house from rodents, and he can still climb everything he used to. Cats are very deserving of their reputation for incredible cunning.
While you were growing up? While you were a child? Well of course he would be adapt. It's like your arm is amputated and you have to "deal with it" sort of situation. You better learn how to adapt to it or die not being able to do anything....
THIS IS TRUE OF MOST CATS WHO GET DECLAWED WHICH SAYS THAT THOSE WHO MAKE THESE CLAIMS ARE LIARS WHO LOVE CAUSING CHAOS, HATRED AND DIVISION AMONG PEOPLE LIKE ALL PSYCHOPATHS DO.
Kelly Games well I mean, you love causing chaos towards cats by cutting their fingers off so I don't think you can say much there sweetie. Declawing is banned where I'm from and I'm not totally surprised that it isn't in America because there are idiots like you who exist
Kelly Games so because cats adapt it's okay to amputate the ends of all their toes in an elective procedure to save your furniture?
That's sick. Please don't ever own a cat, or any other animal.
Is it only America that does this? Anyone? I started googling cause I'd never heard of it.
Dear people who say that their cat was declawed, and yet had no behavioral problems: just because a single cat you knew did not act this way, does not mean that every other cat is this way, and the majority of the time, it’s excruciatingly painful for felines and never a good idea if you simply want the cat to stop scratching. You can either have nice furniture or a cat, not both.
Actually.....no. just buy a water gun, and "shoot" the cat when he misbehaves. It really works! Now, i just pick it up, and Kitty straightens up. There hasn't been any water in the damn gun for 3 years!
Why would you do that to a cat. Shooting a cat with water is just wrong.
Cats don't misbehave. They try to tell you something. If you annoy it, it will bite or scratch you, don't punish the cat because you annoyed it, simple as that. If a male cat is peeing everywhere then geld it to avoid that behaviour. If a cat is scratching furniture then maybe you should buy a scratcher for it? Don't punish the cat. Always stop the reason why the behaviour happened in the first place.
Poor kitty.
+Jessi Jones.......ok, i understand what you are trying to say. BUT......Caezar is different. He likes water! You should see him at the beach! Squirting him doesn't really bother him, it is the surprize factor. He knows when he has done wrong, it is used to let him know that I KNOW what he has done. He is my best friend. If i could figure out a safe way for him to ride, i would take him on a motorcycle trip. When i was a truck driver, he went with me. He has seen more of the U.S. than most people i know! Once, i get pulled over for a D.O.T. inspection. The officer asked if there was anything in the truck he should know about. I said "yeah". A grumpy feline! Besides that, i did say that it has been over 3 years since there has been any water in the gun. Btw, it is a small water pistol, not a "super soaker 10,000". LOL! Poor kitty......nah. He has it better than most people. I hope this explains our situation. Also, i hope you don't think i am some sort of barbaric butthead!
@wayne I literally laughed out loud at your comment! I have one small water bottle that may have one millilitre of water left in it. Usually if I glance at it now, that's all that is required. For the stubborn teenager cat in our house, when I partially depress the trigger it squeaks, she leaves. Your last sentence tickled my funny bone.
@Jessi and Wayne: Even when my water bottle had water in it, with my hand tremors I don't think I ever hit a cat directly with the water stream. Like Wayne said, it's the surprise factor. I honestly think now that it's our physical motion of reaching for the water bottle/gun that, as Wayne said, lets them know that "I see You". We have ALWAYS had several scratching posts of different varieties but 2 out of my 40+ cats refused to use them. What worked for those 2 was a carpet sample swatch that was their "own carpet". They learned that the water bottle meant "go use your own carpet" while the majority of our cats learned it meant "stop being an idiot and go use the scratching post".
When I got a black Bombay cat, I was surprised on how friendly he was. As evil as they look, they are actually known for being very clingy!
Everytime i hear declawing i get goosebumps, it just sounds so painful and horrible, it should totally be considered animal abuse.
I don’t get how people can be ok with even the idea of amputating your cat.
Thank you for saying things about declawing cats
Wtf is declawing?!??!? Like why the hell would you do that to a cat?!?
Because some people who are idiots who don't deserve to live on this planet, sick monsters they are.
People who are missing their heart feel it's necessary to remove a body part from their pet.
because some assholes can't handle an occasional scratch or small tear in furniture
My cats are declawed. It's so you don't have to replace furniture or worry about visitors and/or your family members getting hurt.
well the furniture one is an easy solution just get a scatching post and getting scratched by your cat probably means that you decided to own a cat and being wounded by it is just part of owning one
I have three extremely spoiled cats, and I am their servant.
98cebu yes we are all their servants, we have 16 spoilt rescued babies
1:20 I had a cat who had its whiskers clipped by someone and it couldn't walk straight for days.
Oh freak! Did it grow back? If not, How the freak did it not get stuck somewhere or confused for no reason?
Actually, now that you say it I do feel like I can understand my cat sometimes.
I swore I heard my cat making arguments about the third industrial revolution.
That secret language thing is not news to any cat owner. I remember teaching my mom my cat's language when I left him with my mother while I was undergoing a long term hospital stay for a transplant.
My 4 cats have me well trained to cater to their every whim. I wouldn't have it any other way.
@@Loulovesspeed What constitutes as being owned by a cat? I've had cats almost all my life. I don't feed them whenever they want it (set schedule), I don't always cuddle with them whenever they want it, etc. Only thing I can think of is they're stuck at the toddler stage of children where they don't work for a salary to keep a roof over our heads or have food to eat.
So goddamn true this guy understands me, me and my cat are so close to each other I can tell what she says by the way she meows its strange but I know when she is hungry, when she wants to change her toilet and its been like that for 7 years I grew up with her. And I'm still growing. Being fifteen with a cat like mine is sooo game changing. I've been through rough times with my family and school but she was always there.
This is not mysterious.... Every cat owner knows this...
That's exactly what i was thinking.... I almost always can tell what my cats want when they talk to me and my mom thinks i'm crazy to say this lol....
And yet cats are still declawed. I see people give their cats dairy.
right
Why have more cat folks not given you more likes by now?
I refuse to use the term “cat owners” as no one ever owns a cat: instead you are given the privilege to care for a cat’s needs.
correction
evrey EXPERIENCED cat owner knows this
my cat shredded my couch, and you know what? it can be replaced, she cant be. #getyourprioritiestraight
Fastest I have ever thumbed up a video . You had me at 0:02 "Adorable , furry little ninja" 😂🤣😂🤣
Omg I have seen people brag that their cats are declawed, I honestly want to vomit to faces.
Maybe next time ask them when they plan on asking their doctor to remove the ends of their fingers. I'm fairly certain the looks that you will get will be much more pleasant than you vomiting. (At least for you.)
I want to chop their fingers off
Cats rule the jungle. Period.
And the city.
Murray Aronson Yes, all the dry land. Eagles rule the sky, sharks the sea, and indeed, cats rule all the land!
Mark Jones
Lion king of the jungle
Cat king of the internet
Jack Leó I see what you did right there...Leo is a lion, so you likened yourself thereto. That's cool. But they are all cats. Lion, leopard, puma, cougar, jaguar, panther, tiger, cheetah, etc. But lion is king...King Kat!!!👑
:o Yup!🦁
I used to own a cat, never declawed her, never got any scratch, it also never really bother the furniture, maybe in some places I dont know?
Also some street cats often come to play and eat on my house, I feed them a few times and then they always coming back, I often pet them and play with them (I made sure to wash my hands clean after that ofc), never get bitten or scratched, they might show aggression sometimes if I didn't treat them correctly, but their bite and scratch are weak, it is as if saying NO but they don't mean harm
So please don't be a heartless bastard, declawing is just fucking cruel and shows that you don't know how to treat cats properly, even street cat won't bite without a reason
My bengal cat act as a dog although he a cat.he always play trow and catch with me kinda fun,but the problem is i have 3 husky and then they wanna join.I don’t have enough hand to trow ball honey 😂
My cats are like that as well. And you'll also hear meows that sound like barking any time the mailman or trash truck comes by.
My cat and I have our own secret language.... its...... true
my secret language with my cat consists of scratching and bleeding, she scratches me and she understands how much pain I'm in by how much I bleed
@@murderousintent7838 you need to learn to understand your cat better! She's trying to tell you something!
@@TrNdke you know I was just joking right?
@@murderousintent7838 worse joke ever.
yeah I know
My mom once told me---and it's true!---"You don't own a cat, the cat owns you." And, as Pam North, of the old Pam and Jerry North mystery novels and TV show said, "You can have nice furniture or you can have cats; you can't have both." I've loved being owned by cats all my life---and my furniture shows it!
Dogs see people as their owner. Cats see us as their staff.
Good for you. Viva cats!
Exactly, and they won't let you forget it!
TooLooze they allow us to pet them as our salary
“Ive loved being owned by cats my whole life” huhhh
This is the most knowledgeable & honest cat info video on youtube. Thank you for being a responsible & caring youtuber! 😸😻😽😺
People think cats are lazy and think dogs aren’t, because cats are spayed and neutered most of the time, because of that they are constantly tired and napping. Feral cats aren’t as lazy as domesticated cats. Ppl dont usually neutralize and spay dogs because of that they don’t sleep for long periods of time
once a little kitten sneaked into my balcony...i even don't have any idea how it came into
anyway,she was dynamic as hell and kept meowing and scratching the door
i was even afraid to open the balcony because i thought i wouldn't be able to handle it lol
eventually it was too annoying and i had to get her out but she was quite calm once i got into..she kept purring and all of that but i don't like keeping pets unfortunately i gave her to the shelter
so yeah i approve most feral or stary cats are very active and dynamic but the domestic ones are more used to comfort and petting..they wouldn't even survive if you abandoned them unlike stray cats who get their food by themselves
Cats aren't lazy they are meat eaters and therefore biologically have to sleep more for the meat to process through them and give them energy. I mean just look at wild cats they sleep just as much as an indoor pet cat does. Do your research before saying things you are not educated on.
Edit: If you think spaying and neutering isn't a good idea then look at what the end product is.. kittens being euthanized at shelters because the shelter cannot give 24-hour care for them. Do the right thing and tnr (trap, neuter, return) community cats, feral or not it is best thing for them.
People who think cats are lazy suck so bad. All of the cats that I had in my life were never lazy and only sleeps when we sleep. They were always so playful and nice to us.
@@invisiblemann1756 One of the cats I had was wild. I named her precious and my mom got her some milk and led her inside the house. Then on the first day precious was scared. ON the second day precious started warming up to us plus we gave her kitty litter, food and drinks and a bed. On the third day precious ran away. She came back. On the 4th day she got stuck in a tree and she came down. Basically she was so loyal. Plus after a few months we learned she would leave for 3-5 hours a month and then come back. She was the greatest free cat ever. To this day we gave her to my uncle because he's lonely and now my grandma thinks she's pregnant finally.
I'm a potato Okay, no. The reason domestic cats most of the time appear more ' lazy ' than feral cats has more to do with how they were raised. A cat who grew up in a more laid back environment with a comfortable bed, toys and food without them needing to do anything themselves will be less active than feral cats who are more exposed in the open where there's bigger dangers and they constantly need to fight for territory and their survival.
If you're against neutering, that's entirely your opinion. However, please show some actual evidence of how neutering might be damaging a house cat's stamina rather than just using blatant stereotypes of what people think house cats are like. I myself own a cat, and he's the most hyperactive little fluff ball who's always running around the house.
The reason why people neuter or spay their pets is not because they just want them to calm down, but because it keeps population under control, prevents your cat from attracting strays and causing fights and prevents diseases as well as behaviour issues etc. It has little if nothing at all to do with how ' lazy ' your cat is.
Any vet who would agree on de-clawing and perform the procedure should be put in jail.
According to the comment section, US is the only country that haven't ban declawing...
I agree for most declaws, but not all declaws are bad. For example, take one of Vet Ranch's cats. Their front paw was paralysed to where they couldn't retract their claws and they would get stuck, so the Vet Ranch guy had to declaw that paw so they could move normally.
Same for cutting dogs balls, ears, tails etc .. people are selfish and they don't deserve pets
L0vEgy ears I agree with, but balls or ovaries is a different story they have reasoning and health issues that can be caused with still having those things because they can’t really control their hormones and they can go without breeding, please look up your facts.
L0vEgy nothing wrong with neutering/spaying.
wow. I'll never declaw my cat.
He really understated how important claws are to a cat. Its how they grab things. Its more like their WHOLE finger because all they are left with is a nub. Thank you for caring.
I never realized this about cats either....before this video. I am now jumping onto the ANTI-declawing bandwagon.
This is so true! I have a cat, and my friends say: “ Can I give him some milk?” Then I say: “ Boi”
I love how I can tell exactly what one of my cats are saying but not quite exactly what my other cat is saying cause his favourite is my husband and my husband can understand him better than he does the other. I love cats.
If you declaw your cat, you are a horrible person.
E.My cat was already declawed when I got him. I could not reject him, because of that. He had no choic
Karen Windsand They were just saying that if you consciously made the decision to.
Karen Windsand and you’re not horrible for that
Karen Windsand that's fine, you didn't do it. OP is saying if you make them get their claws removed, you're a horrible person.
Yeah, can't wait til they make it to where you have to have your fingers removed if the cat has their claws removed as well
Lmao jk
Let's just let every human and cat keep their fingers and claws respectively
Declawing should be banned, and people prosecuted who have it done, evil practice,
Crank That Artichoke you should take it to a no kill shelter where it can be rehoused to people better equipped to take care of it. If those are your only options then you shouldn’t have a cat in the first place.
Crank That Artichoke
There should be no dilemma here. You shouldn't be cutting your cat's fingers off.
Crank That Artichoke Start with cutting off the tips of your own fingers, if it works for you, then you can consider the cat, ok?
It is banned except in the US, according to the comment section
Crank That Artichoke If those are your only two options then you should NOT have a cat.
Two people I know have cats that don’t have claws on their front/back legs. Both of them didn’t get them declawed, and know that getting any cat declawed isn’t good. Both the cats don’t show pain, and don’t have behavioral problems. Pipa (One of the cats) has no claws in her back legs, but has them in her front paw (She’s a three legged kitten).
Simon (the other cat) has no front claws, but back claws. They believe Simon was born with this, as a family cat had some kittens, and that how they got Simon.
However, with Pipa, they don’t know. They got her as a kitten from a shelter (not-so-fun fact: The previous owner had abused her and that’s how she got to three legs. Very evil person finally in jail) but the shelter didn’t know how come she didn’t have back claws, nor did the stupid abuser.
Just thought I share that.
Problem with cats is that they're *extremely* good at hiding that they're in pain, as due to being in the middle of the food chain, showing they're in pain will attract predators.
JenModding How am I supposed to know if my cat is in pain then? He’s not acting unusual, but I got him when he was already a year old. I’ve had him for two years but what if he’s just been hiding his pain this entire time? Shjsnehnaajjabsjdbdbwhat I’m a paranoid mess, I just want my baby to be happy and healthy, bc he makes me happy.
errui
yes cats dont show pain and lmaooo but i think you can maybe find signs of pain, like maybe wincing when you pet them somewhere or limping if they sprained or broke anything
@@errui If the cat don't have appetite, hides from everyone's sight, runs away from everyone, don't drink and sleeps in his hide spot he is probably sick.
I love how cats and their humans have a secret language! It's so fun!My cats have specific meows for when they are hungry, playing, in trouble (i.e. stuck in a drawer), or just want to be petted.
All this is old news to cat people. Cats are awesome.
THANK YOU FOR THE ANTI DECLAWING MESSAGE. THEY WILL ALSO PEE EVERYWHERE.
Ana Adams peeing everywhere is stopped easily by castrating ,they mark their territory when not. Also,it helps to have one litter box more than you have cats, like two cats need three boxes. My boys don't mark anything.
I think Ana may have meant, with declawing come the pain of stepping on litter. Some cats will stop using their litter box because it literally hurts too much to stand in. :(
What Ana meant was cats will pee outside of the box to alert their owners of a problem. Whether it is painful paws or a medical condition (bladder infections and crystals in their urine are the first that come to mind). They also pee outside the box if the litter is not scooped regularly or if they don’t like the type of litter in the box. If the litter box is placed in a spot that’s difficult for them to reach or if they’re are not enough boxes for multiple cats. Also if they are stressed or anxious, they will pee outside of the box. As for castration, that does not guarantee your male will stop “spraying”. And spraying and peeing are two separate things. Also, contrary to popular belief, female cats will spray. Cats will spray if they are territorial, if they have unwanted feline visitors in their yard, if the house is cluttered and they can’t smell their scent, they will spray. They will spray on their persons belongings for security. If they are stressed out from illness, their human traveling, major changes in the household, these are all reasons for spraying.
But since this is about declawing a cat, I’ll reiterate that I AM GLAD TO SEE DECLAWING CHARACTERIZED AS BAD AND SHOWS THAT IT IS AN AMPUTATION. AND YOUR CAT MAY INDICATE HOW MUCH IT HURTS BY PEEING OUTSIDE OF THEIR BOX.
Not all cats stop peeing and/or spraying with castration.
And I’m not going to get into a “pissing” match over this.
Great video and info about cats. Thumbs up for you also.
PLEASE, NEVER DECLAW YOUR CAT. It's so unethical. It's the equivalent of us chopping off our fingertips.
My cat isn’t declawed and he behaves so well he never scratches me
ppl who declaw their cats should be put down
you don't like cat scratch on your precious furniture or skin? don't get a cat (or any animal, because all animals will make "damage" to your goods)
Diana Lis or they could just cut its nails regularly
My cousin got a cat and she wasn’t planning to declaw it but when she found out she was pregnant she wanted to so it wouldn’t hurt the baby
Emma 1248 what the fucking hell is that logic??
Because this is her first child, also my other cousins cat scratched her kid so she didn't want to take chances
@@Emma-uh4sj tell your cousin that cats know what a baby is. They wont do what they do to adults. Dont declaw poor cat, just cut its nails regularly
1:34 Whiskers are also as long as their body, allowing them to sense whether they can fit somewhere or not.
woah
I think you mean as wide as their body...
THAT'S A VERY STUBBY CAT.
so if a cat becomes obese, then its whiskers also grow longer? idk about that
JDarkAngeI I think they squish to fit? Interesting question I never thought about that and now I’m also curious
I miss my cat Jupiter so much. He was the first cat that changed my doubts about felines. He was loving, followed me EVERYWHERE no matter the time of day, and would call for me until he would find me. He gave me some scares two times during two nights (he liked to explore, but there's coyotes around my area) and after he saw me crying and shaking, he would always wait for me on my mom's car or under the porch light until I got home from work.
He hated when I stayed up late and bothered me until i turned off the lights and phone-- which improved my sleeping habits.
He would cuddle me when I was starting to slip into my dark days-- which would snap me right back to a better state.
He refused to let me out of his sight.
He came EVERY time I called him... except for one evening... I miss him very much.
He was gentle with my 3 year old sis and 8 year old sis.
He would wake me up with the softest meows and light patting on my arm...
If i ever see you declaw your cat ima declaw your fingers
Well said
So, what's wrong w/ eating a gallon of full-fat ice cream, huh??
P.S. most torties are at least a little crazy/ reactive. Thanks! :)
I like extra fat ice cream, I calls it mayo
My tortie is pure catittude. She's the best cat ever!
oh yeah, torties are... well. spazzes. i've known three and i can confirm
thats not true. I have a dilute torti named bella and she is the same as any normal cat.
Morgan Metcalfe oh dilutes are ANGELS i love them but trust me they dont count
that was informative. Thank you. People, don't declaw your cat. What's a matter with you.
The language part is so true. I know when her food bowl is low, when she needs her litter box cleaned and when she wants a treat. She has a different meow for each.
One of my cats, a torti named Bonita, knows how to use the bathroom like a dog. She knows we want her to use the bathroom outside. So when she’s inside she holds it and when she needs to go she’ll go and wait/paw at the door to ask to be let out.
my cat is outdoor trained also, but uses the litter box if needed
I generally like black cats more, does that mean I'm bad?
No it just means you've got good taste...
No , it just means you like black cats ..
TheFancyCreeper i would say it trust you cus it know you love sit so much that it can do whatever to wake you up but you won’t hurt it cus you love it
of course not! its actually scientifically proven that the breed of most black cats (Bombay) are more affectionate then other cats. the guy's right, it has nothing to do with their color. but every BREED has different qualities than other breeds which might make you want to have that cat more.
No
If you mean declaw by entirely removing the claw from its root, then yes, that's bad. But we do trim the claws, just remove the very sharp tip of it! and it DOES grow back...
nawawi I trimming ain't bad
Trimming is like clipping your nails. As long as you know how to do it.
Nicely done! Good one guys. DONT DECLAW!!!
Cats are great, and quite affectionate. My cat cuddles with me and lies up against me all the time. She always comes to see what i am doing, and loves to spend time with me. She never claws or bites, and she is quite content. My first cat was much the same, and he loved to lay on my chest and sleep between my knees (i am a stomach sleeper). He also liked to help me read, lying on my chest between me and my book. RIP Blue, i miss you, buddy.
My mom hates cats (not kitten though, so find me a cat that doesn't age -__-) so I when I had one looked into getting it declawed but when I found out what it actually is and told her she no longer wanted to go through with it thankfully.
My mom will kick a cat without a second thought but even she agreed chopping off its finger bone is abuse. Knowledge is power!
+wOoNi
I will kick you without a second thought
jk I hope you're joking too
My mother in law was like that too. Part of the reason I didn't like her + she was racist. Very bad in my book.
I love cats and dogs but I love cats more.
Love this! I hate how everyone picks cat by their colors. That’s how my mom got my all white cat with blue eyes when I wanted the black or ivory ones in his litter. I do have other cats. A black and white, a tabby and white, and a black tabby with a tiny bit of white. Their all very sweet, but my cat Finn, the white one is very tolerant. Really I feel that people don’t raise their cats right sometimes. Not that there’s necessarily a right or wrong way, but if you get a cat when you wanted a dog you should get a kitten, and cuddle and play with it as much as possible. Play with it with your hands instead of toys (although it’s still good to have toys) and that way it’ll learn to play bite, and claw, but almost never actually hurt you. My cat was kinda playing with my hand the other day, and wrapping his fangs around my finger instead of biting it to play. He’s actually kinda a dogish cat. But that’s how I raised him. I chase him around my house, and viscera. It’s his favorite way to play, and kinda rambunctious. Also, I taught him from a young age that it’s okay to pet his belly, so he doesn’t mind it too much. As for secret language, if he’s scratching the couch, then I let out a chch sound and he usually stops. He also understands a good bit of normal human words. Once I was getting stuff to clean out the litter and he was walking by, so I asked him “you wanna help me clean your litter?” And he perked up and followed me, not leaving as I scooped his litter. It was like he understood me. (This is way too long, I’m sorry but I’m still gonna leave it here and if anyone makes it this far you are strong)
Ikr there was this cat I knew at an animal shelter my sister worked at and he was a beautiful orange color, he was spastic and ran more than the rest of the cats. After one person adopted him they quickly returned the cat to the shelter saying "He is too energetic!"
already knew all this but as someone who has had 16 cats in the past 12 years makes sense to know it but i think this will really help some people who dont have to much knowledge about cats and plan to get one
Dogs have masters, cats have staff.
dogs have friends not masters
dogs have masters which tend to be lazy as fuck. Clean up the dog shit or don't have a dog simple.
no u
Cats are beautiful and so are dogs! Love them both!!
Unlike other channels, these facts are surprisingly true! Thank you for the accurate content.
I can't stress enough, cats are social creatures. Don't get a kitten if you are gone most of the day. Its like leaving your own kid in isolation hours at a time. Yeah, they will eventually get used to it, but it is still cruel and wrong. I personally hated it when young couples rent the apartment upstairs and decide to get a kitten. They leave at 6 or 7 am and they don't come back until the evening, Idk what the heck they are doing but I always see a kitten crying in the window the rest of the day.
I now have a cat that adopted me. He just showed up one day when I was sitting outside. He was just a kitten then. I had his nails trimmed. He was also fixed. I will never ever have him dewclawed. You take away part of them being a cat. He is a cat not anything else.
omgods1 cats can’t cry.
@@Monyato sorry, does incessantly meowing fit your vocabulary better? I know they can't "cry" tears. The term was used for the calling of an animal.
@IMarkovic1995 please tell me more, also explain feral cat colonies
@IMarkovic1995 It is true that they are more independent than dogs and they they can "take care" of themselves really well, but that is not my point. They can take care of themselves very well, however that doesn't mean that they don't require companionship. Cats do feel loneliness and the lack of stimulation can lead to destructive behaviors, excessive vocalization (kitten crying in the apartment window) and sometimes a "feral" temperament (people wonder why their cats are not so attached to their owners like dogs are, that's probably because of the lack of time spent with them and the misconception that cats are these robotic and completely independent creatures that fuels that relationship dynamic). Sorry but, if my cat was independent, why does he come running and follow me around (despite having a designated feeding time)? Why do cats follow you to the bathroom and wait behind the door? Room to room? Sleep on your bed even though there are other comfortable spots to sleep on? I also believe they can get as easily bored as we do. Despite having enrichment toys in animal shelters, cats, both young and old, really do thrive in attention versus solitary confinement. Also, separation anxiety occurs in cats as well, such as the excessive vocalization and even urination on the owner's belongings. What I am trying to make my point is, cats are social creatures, its just their behavior can be very subtle or misunderstood for some people.
Declawing is evil how can any one do that to a fellow soul mate . revelation of that made me feel sick .
Tao of love passion and comedy declawing my cat now
Cjkologe this wonderful vegan troll, don't respond it only feeds them.
Not vegan u little Tiny hand
Cjologe the wonderful vegan troll
Here, take some tofu.
Nah i like to eat cat
Honestly that explains why every time our cat would meow my dad would know exactly what he wanted.
Same, i would be like: Wth?? How do you know this is the food meow!? It's identical to the: "Hey there! Open the door" meow!
And he'd say something like: This one is longer/louder/angrier/happier/etc
The best thing, among hundreds of things, that I love about cats is you can't bribe them to
like you, or beat them to obey you. You have to earn their love and respect. And I totally get that. I feel the same way.
I've always adored cats. I love all animals but I've always just been a cat person. I have 3 now I guess. 2 indoor cats and 1 outdoor who is a stray that showed up one day. She was starving so I fed her and now I guess she's mine. Lol. My 2 indoor cats were rescues. I've had my female Josie for about 6 years. She's laid back, loving and just a sweetheart. Unfortunately she was declawed when I adopted her. I've had my male cat-Christof Max Drago Stewart-my daughters helped name him but I call him Christopher-for almost a year. He's younger than Josie and he's kinda uptight, not very loving-I always have to go to him for loves unless he wants treats- and he's just a cranky, butthole sweetheart-if that makes sense. It wasn't on his paperwork when I adopted him but one of my friends actually noticed several months after he'd been here that he was declawed also. I think it's a horrible thing to do to a cat and I believe it's lazy and selfish to have that done to them. Josie got outside one day last spring. She was outside for over 24 hours. I cried for hours while I searched for her. She had never been outside before and since someone had her declawed, she wouldn't be able to protect herself or be very self sufficient. Luckily we found her hiding under my old car in the backyard. She seemed to be just as terrified as I was. I just don't understand how a person can do that to a pet. I'm all for having them spayed or neutered. I actually think it's a really good and important thing and that's what responsible pet owners do-for the most part. But the idea of having my baby's nails ripped out of their body is horrifying.
I've got a cat and a dog and those two are best friends and everything, never understood why anyone ever thought certain things mattered like color and whatnot, even if the cat is a mean little shit as a kitten, if you put the time in it'll be an affectionate little ball of fur that like to curl up with you
Robert Snider agree with you a 100%! we adopted our recent cat when she was about 8 months old. she was a rescue from the streets and she put us through hell for the first year at least! but we kept going and let her do her thing. I never forced myself on her, if she didn't want to be around us or be held I would just leave her alone. eventually, she completely adapted to us, is super nice (though still a little scared and jumpy and DEFINITELY hides when other people come to visit). I wouldn't have it another way anyways! I prefer to earn a cats respect and affection, its more special that way. I respect cats for their independence
I have two pit bulls and two male cats and they all get along amazingly. Both my cats have very different personalities and I can definitely tell what which one wants by how they approach and meow at me. lol
+ Savannah Kendrick.....amen to that! My cat, Caezar, thinks he is a chow!
Savannah Kendrick I bet the cats are the boss over the Pitbulls though.
Yes! They get nervous to walk past one of my cats because sometimes he will give them a dirty look and swat at them so they cant go into the hallway. The cat thinks its a great game. lol
Savannah Kendrick I have 2 pit bulls , a chug, a Chihuahua and 3 cats, they get along deliciously.

Who the hell declaws a cat? You literally have zero right to do that. If you don’t want a cat who scratches, don’t get a cat.
cat scratches dont hurt true cat lovers, we say "DAMN thats a good one"
Cat's are PURRFECT
Good One!
Thanks for mentioning about cat claws, many cat keeper and lovers dont understand how important it to the cat, hope 3:16 will open many eyes and mind for cat keeper and lovers out there
