can we just appreciate how much this man loves his daughter? 7 cats is a LOT of cats, give this man a Dad of the Year mug!
A big part of it is because deep down he feels a connection with cats he never knew was there 😄
No doubt!
Absolutely, he put a smile on this old ladies face.☺🙋🏻♀️🐱💜🌻🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈
PLS he's so adorable🤧🤧, i hope he and his daughter and their cats live a longggg healthy happy life together💜💜
He's such a sweet man. I love stories like this. Looking at how Skooty looks at him with such obvious love made me think of Jennifer Hudson's song, "Your Gonna Love Me!"
Now I'm imagining this sweet cat singing to him:
"There's no way I can ever go
No, no, there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm staying
I'm staying
And you, and you
You're gonna love me, oh ooh mm mm
You're gonna love me...
Stay, stay and hold me
Stay, stay and hold me
Please stay and hold me, Mr. Man,
Try it mister, try it mister
I know, I know, I know you can..."
😻♥
Some people are so surprised by how loving cats are. The misconception about cats melts away quickly when a cat purrs and rubs and just loves their humans.
I also believe the energy one puts out towards any living creature is the energy you get back. A lot of people dislike cats from the get go so they return the same. Lol.
@@spicybrown75 Exactly what I was going to say.
One of my best friends (dog owner) was pleasantly surprised the other night with my 7 yr old boy cat who loves people. He would make a bee line when I have visitor. My 10 yr old girl would hide instead. She is a typical cat after all! 😂
You spelt "humans" wrong. It's "hoomans" 😋
@@tekelupharsin4426 6th 6
I've said this for years. The only person who's NOT a cat person, is a person who's never had a cat. 😻❣️😻❣️😻❣️
I’m allergic and still love cats. I just take Benadryl and boom! Kitty cat love.
Well said! I’ve heard people say they are boring…
yeah......if someone says they don't like cats then i cannot be friends with them [because obviously they have other issues in their personality]
I think of it in the opposite way. Cats love to be around people that initially don't really care .. they are drawn to that "take it or leave it" energy and turn on the charm!
Don't get ahead of yourself, some people are just assholes
“Everybody is a cat person, if they say they aren’t, they just haven’t found the right cat yet” - some guy from another Dodo video who’s username I forgot
Truth! Cats for Life! ❤️
That’s so right, I can’t say I don’t like cats, but every cat I meet first wants to be pet and is super friendly and then just bites me out of nowhere. Now I don’t trust cats anymore 🤔😕
@@corvuscorona6019 Some cats bite when they're overstimulated from being petted. That's particularly normal if they don't know you.
I used to be one of those many years ago, until my Panda found me. She changed me for the better. Rescuing them is a privilege . This man was saved by Scooter.
@ Allison true even if they do know you and you've overstimulated them.
Not really a bite tho ... more of a nip when people aren't paying attention to the other subtle clues cats give.
My Dad wasn't a huge fan of kitties back in the day, but them Snowball became pretty much a best buddy to him😊 May they both rest in peace
Edit: You guys are All Amazing, I appreciate all the kind words and stories, thank you😊💯
They are both having fun with each other until you can join them. They know it will be a while bc you still have buisiness to attend here but oh boy when you do get there....it will be truly special
I just had to give that a +1
It is always the same.. a person don't like cat and when he know a cat is in love LOL
Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your dear Dad and dear sweet kitty 😭😿💔
I'm sorry for your loss. My Mom and our sweet little Rat Terrier were best friends, too. Mom died 4 years ago and our munchkin passed away a year later. She was confused as to why we weren't visiting my Mom and it made her so sad. I miss them both very much, too. Cheers.
Man's really the personification of the "dad and the cat" meme, mad respect.
there is no greater compliment than a cat choosing you!
I'm agree with you
Honestly, respect to Christina and her folks. It takes a lot of guts, brains, business skills, and other things to own a business, especially during Covid and being Asian, as she said, and especially owning a cat cafe? That takes serious sanitation skills, and management of the animals, to take care of them and love them and give them the proper care they need, but they do (from what it looks like, I don’t know 100%). So major respect to them, and major respect to them for making masks, that’s super rad of them.
i like how you just assume she is good at it.
@@Keithjustkeithwastaken it never would have made it off the ground in the first place pre covid if she wasn’t good at it. People don’t hang out in gross or dirty places, especially with their kids or beloved pets unless they live dirty themselves. Most people don’t. It’s a safe assumption it was doing fine before the pandemic kept most people in large cities home, if it only closed due to the pandemic.
The cats gravitate towards your father because he has such a calm, beautiful spirit😊
Hey your right . Mine did that to my papa who was 60. He was calm too after any stressful day and the cat plop on his chest and they lied together for hours
@@mariocisneros911 Aww..that is so lovely 💕Blessings to your papa and that sweet fur baby🐱
It's a beautiful thing when you don't know the thing your missing literally curls up into your lap making your life complete.
it’s always the dads who said they didn’t want the pet 😂
Yup, my Dad wasn't the biggest fan of our cats after they did a huge misbehavior, but then later on he softened up alot haha
Right?! Hahaha and they ended up being the most concern about the cats!
1:26 Her dad's smile is everything.
I agree 👍 😊
Our Dad took such care of our family cat after college. He was not crazy about taking on a cat, but ended up taking care of our tabby. Treated her like one of his girls too! Rest in peace Dad! ❤️💯🙏
I am being humble when I am telling you that I am the most powerful strongest coolest smartest most famous greatest funniest Y*uTub3r of all time! That's the reason I have multiple girlfriends and I show them off all the time! Bye bye mk
I'm sorry for your loss. Your dad sounds like he was special
Aww my dad was the same way. He never had been around cats, never liked cats until I adopted my first baby. He immediately fell in love with her, he worked hard to get all our strays TRN-d.
Love to hear this about the TNRs👍
Aww, bless Dad’s sweet heart.
He went from 0 to 7 + fosters with such kindness, grace & love.
What a wonderful example of a family coming together to support each other as well. 🥰
A Sweeet DAD. May your kindness and tolerance reward you with good health and long life.
I'm agree with you
Or a dad choosing you!
“2020 was hard, people had a fear of coming into a store ran by an Asian” this is so frickin sad 🥺 anyone who acts like that is just showing their true colors. I’m so sorry to everyone in the world who has to deal with other humans
💯
She’s assuming. No actual evidence. What’s fact is that government restricted small businesses and the media scared people to be out in public.
@@enriqueb4412 she’s saying her truth, I can’t say what she’s been through🤷🏻♀️
Ignorant and/or jealous. That my definition of a hater.
She said "she thinks" every business suffered in 2020. Stop virtue signaling
People that say they don't like cats it's because they have never been enough time around one. Cats are super affectionate and protective of their loved ones and are far away from being the jerks people think them to be.
Well... many of them are still jerks, but they're also loving and affectionate so it's ok 😁
@@cocolime6496 agree about many cats are jerks. I've tried interacting with them but most either just hiss or try to scratch me. Dogs however are amazing. never have I been hurt or growled at by any dogs
@@ViewByRay Cat's sense your real feelings, they can't be hidden. They're reacting to that. They won't like you in return. My now adult child once dated a person our cat hated. She'd attack the person constantly. My child listened to the cat. Our cat knew this person wasn't ok to be with. Never happened again.
I once read that many prefer dogs to cats because bonding with a cat is very similar to building a friendship with other humans; it takes time, boundaries and respect and for some people that's too much "work".
Neuroimaging/behavioral studies found some interesting results - dogs treat humans better than other dogs and cats treat humans just as they would treat other cats, as equals.
God, I miss my cat so, so much...
@@ViewByRay maybe its the way you reach out to pet cats? you cant just go up to them and start petting all wild like with dogs, a giant strange hand coming at them is going to be scary. be gentle, let them sniff you, and then give a little scratch on the chin. it also helps to be sitting closer to the ground instead of coming at them from above
Aw, that's so sweet and heartwarming ❤️ Her dad is as adorable as the cat!
No wonder cats love his energy, he's just so calm and gentle
Oh my goodness I like your dad too! Give him a big hug for me ❤️
People who "don't like cats" have never really been exposed to them, I believe. They win you over heart and mind. LOVE this video!!
Skooty makes him feel more energized and more alive. You can tell by looking at his face when he's around him. Sometimes, pets work better than medicine.
I was baby sitting a couple kids while their aunt was out years ago. My dog ignored them but my cat(now passed)Manny wanted to be friends with the girl who was terrified of cats. I had to stop her from screaming like a banshee and let Manny come near. He was a gentle boy, no claws to hurt, he never bit anyone and he insisted on being this girl's friend. So he plopped into her lap and the girl started petting Manny who absolutely loved the attention. I asked are you still afraid of cats? She said she loved my boy. I said I told ya he wouldn't hurt you. And the funny thing was Manny had never seen a child before but was extra gentle. If it wasn't for two cats I met in my 20's who were as calm and as gentle as my Manny was, I would never have gotten over my fear and dislike of cats. I'm now with a pair of cats. #4 and 5. So I'm not surprised that this cat knew how to make this dad comfortable. And my very first cat mom got me. A devout cat hater she was until she met my first cat. She loved her because she was mine. I used to be terrified of dogs as a kid until I was asked to babysit a poodle. Supervised of course. I fell in love with dogs, no more fear and decades later I had a dog for 16 years. Dogs and cats, or any animal, have a way about them that can reach people.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful story. To me, animals are blessings to this world.
Cat’s know when we need them. You are wonderful showing people cats can be so loving.
@@rukahazuki6650 you're welcome and you're absolutely right they're truly a blessing gift.
So heartfelt and pure! He chose to open his heart to little souls he never interacted with and fell in love. What beautiful company cats are and now he spends his time loving on them. What a precious family and good of her to keep the kitties 😸 ❤️
The dad has one of those faces that for me is impossible not to like..He is a beautiful soul
Her Father is so loved by the cat and vice versa. A happy story. Thank you for sharing.
This is the perfect example of how animals can change a person's life; I just adore this video. Super happy for the whole family, esp dad & Scooty😹😻
What amazing parents to let her move in with 7 cats, wow! Looks like that is just what they needed 🥰
What a beautiful family, cats included of course!!!! She gave her parents the best of gifts during the pandemic
Cats are adorable and what a great Dad! He let his daughter bring in all her cats. Hope she can get her business going again!
I hope you get to open your cat cafe again and I hope you continue rescuing cats too❤️
God bless this man 🙏🏽
A sweet story. It is not easy to make an elderly gentleman to have such a change. Cats are amazing animals
My parents specifically my dad never liked cats, raised in a culture that talked bad about cats but one fateful day in 2018 this tuxedo stray just appeared in our driveway and the next I see is cat food. I was shocked my dad accepted this cat after the cat adopted us 😆🌹♥️
Who wouldn't love a cat?!! They're adorable 🥰
nope they are Jerks. Dogs are amazing
@@ViewByRay l love dogs too, but cats rule!!!
@@ViewByRay
Cat's are much easier to take care of,
You don't need to bath them, or take them for a walk. I like dog's too, but if you don't bath them, they smell, pretty bad.
@@mariahewitt9787 sounds like an excuse being lazy tbh
@@ViewByRay or it’s just more convenient. Sure, I can do it but why when I have the option…
Aww this is so sweet but I’d love to go to this woman’s cafe when it gets back open! That’s on my bucket list now! ^w^
so bcos of Covid and just cos she’s Asian folks avoided her business…. crazy to think there’s still so much ignorance around. hope that part of her life turns around, she’s obviously a nice lady who deserves success and happiness.
I was actually looking for a comment like this....Thank you, I am right there with you, it's horrible smh
This happens in America everyday...It's just that most of them don't make it to the news so you don't hear about them lol
That type of stuff is what makes me dislike society and prefer animals, which is why a lot of us need the Dodo these days, I suspect.
🍃Absolutely!🍃🤗🍃
I was here to say this. I live in NYC in an area with a lot of Korean people (and other Asian ethnicities), and let me say I feel SAFER around Asian folks in terms of covid than other groups because if you look at the stats, they are like 99% vaccinated and boosted, while others lag behind a lot. My Asian neighbors always wear masks. Their businesses have the most protections for their customers and employees.
I always had dogs growing up, and then I met my future wife 35 years ago, well let's just say we don't have any dogs, but we sure have adopted an loved a lot of beautiful and thankful cats in that time ❤. You can't help but love them, each with their own personalities! 😻😺
That's so cute, he is so interested in who comes in next. This dad is a real role model
Stories like this one always get me!! I love how her dad is with the cats.
Beautiful, Grandpa clearly loves his Grandcats ❤️❤️
Lovely Dad and kittens 🐈⬛ 🫶🏻👍😃😻😻😻
Aww! I think all seniors should have pets! Animals are pure love. If you show them a little affection they shower you with love devotion and gratitude a million times over. Thank you for sharing your story! 🐾🐈♥️ sweet Skotchy got her own cake!
I resonate with her Dad. Have never really been a cat person until recently… this is so wholesome. 🥰❤️🥰
Awesome dad !! 💯 💕
You don't choose the cat life, it chooses you. My mom got adopted by a cat immediately after moving into a new house and their relationship is incredible. She never liked cats until one forced it's way into her heart.
Skooty was like “You love me, you just don’t know it yet”, LOL!!! The cats love the dad’s calm demeanor. He’s a nice man.
My dad was the same way! Got a kitten when i was a kid. They ended up best friends! Hes 17 an lives with me now😊😊
Those kitties are wonderful and beautiful but I more would have loved having a dad like yours!! Such a gentle and sweet spirit. Such a blessing!
I think my favorite part is him checking out the cat carriers to see if there are fosters he's so excited for new kitties to befriend!
Absolutely beautiful💗
Her dad seems so nice, and her family are so supportive! The whole video makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
BEAUTIFUL STORY💗💗💗❣️
Wow what a AWESOME family!! I appreciate people with amazing souls like that!!
I mean, come on. How freaking adorable is this?
"Hanging out with Appa"
It's just the definition of wholesome.
And that photo of "Appa", down on his hands and knees and looking into those pet carriers - just so sweet.
Watching Korean dramas together...it's just the best.
This. This story would make a great children's book, it has such a happy and important message.
I love these stories. I can't get enough hearing about cats have won over the hearts of those who have either believed they didn't like cats or didn't really think about caring for an animal. 😸✌️💞🐾🎥 Another heart is whole, thanks kitties for your persistence in seeing the goodness in humans.
Gosh that’s heartwarming story. Makes my soul feel really good!!
Cats, dogs, really all animals have an amazing sense of reading people.
If a person is harbors negativity towards an animal, they can see it in your eyes, and smell it in the air.
Especially Cats !!!
That is just so sweet. One cat with a great personality can change almost anyone's mind. LOVE your dad, and Skooty is a real charmer.
I love it, when you get stories like this... About unconditional love across species... It's so good to see... The Father seem as if he finally found his "calling" in life? :D
Hahahaha! That is so neat and adorable. Tell him not to feel bad, they get under your skin quick. They're such great companions!
What a gorgeous, loving family. Kitties are so loved and adored. Best of wishes for the success of your Kitty Cafe!!
Her Dad has a very calm energy, one I can see cats LOVING. A gentle soul indeed. I really hope this lovely young lady has her cafe back, because she and her family seem like good people, with good hearts.
Oh my goodness, your Dad is the sweetest!!!! He & Skooty together is just too cute!! Best of luck with your business & beautiful family! ❤️😽❤️
Her story was wild. I can't imagine what that would feel like
i think its super cute that he's able to discover this part of himself that he didnt know before....
This was such a sweet video. I recently lost a couple of my older cats to illness and seeing a family enjoy their feline children and each other made me smile. Thank you for sharing.
I always love when people become cat lovers when they didn’t think they liked them before! 😻❤️
I sympathize with the person in this video. My family too owned a small minority business, that was destroyed by the government's policies in 2020-2021. It will never come back. Nobody cares, we will be forgotten, just like all the other people this happened to.
@@RR-yh6vr Thanks. I was not expecting this story in the video, just thought it was gonna be another cat video. But then I was like, "Oh, yeah, been there."
Aww. Your dad is so adorable. You're so adorable. You whole family is so adorable & precious 💖 I wish you all a life filled with Love & Happiness 🐱🌻🎼
Cats have an amazing ability to sense those with great energy and they tend to take to those people almost like this unspoken connection. Her father has really good energy that any animal would be driven to it. ⚡️⚡️✨✨😸😸😸
i don't like cats said the cat father lol ❤
This is just beautiful! How special that Skooty bonded so strongly with the father. Pets know who they love, will choose their favorite person 😺🙏💞🤗
This is such a beautiful story ❤️😊🐈
Kitties make everything better.
Cats are beautiful creatures.
They're wierd and amazing too.
I'm agree with you
First
This video is so sweet
I appreciate
The work you guys do
God bless! Beautiful 🥰
It's so wonderful to see her parents not complaining about the number of cats she has, but just enjoying having them all home.
My cat Felix died to a snake, I found him dead in a bush today, I already miss him
I am so sorry for your loss
My condolences to you 😢. When you're ready, adopt again. So many fur children needing loving homes.
@@sebastianwhosez4897 we already have 2 other cats, Hobbes and inky, they were from the same litter as Felix, they were inseperable
I’m so sorry! 🫂
Keep your other cats inside so this does not happen again.
Какой милаха, так играет смешно 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
У меня на канале тоже есть много интересных историй о животных)
This reminds me of the one time my sister brought home a kitten around the time I was like 10 or 12, my parents were not happy about him being with us for like 2 days, but then I see my dad being so gentle and loving towards him, giving him a cute meow and sharing his meals with he cat, we ended up giving him away to our cousin since my sister has asthma but a year later we were able to adopt a very needed dog we cherish and love for, so I see this as a win win for everybody
This story pulled at my heart strings. I wish this family the biggest success and send them my love and blessings! 🐈
I respect everyone who were involved in this Seriously the best piece that i ve ever seen on CZcams 💌 Hate off to well all 💟 love your videos..
I love how open his heart is to accept and then welcome these cats into his home and into his life. I wish my parents had been as open.
Such a wonderful loving family. So sweet & gentle with each other & with their extended cat family.
I wish them all much success.
I just love a story where a cat chooses some reluctant human to love and the human just blossoms.
He has gentle quiet hands!! 😊 She can tell how sweet and loving he is!! 🥰
Just a wonderful story!! So great of you to have fostered all of these guys. Thank you for sharing this great story.
I so appreciate what you have been through and what you are going through. So thank you for hanging in there and not giving up on them. It's a wonderful and beautiful thing you are doing. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Lovely family! What wonderful work you do fostering cats in need. So glad you have caring and supportive family to help through hard times.
This gentleman is amazing! I can feel the love in his soul! This video has made my day! BRAVO to Daddy, the whole family and the kitty family! YOU ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL AND A BLESSING TO THIS WORLD!!!
Beautiful and compassionate family! Thank you!!
This is just adorable! The cats and her Dad! 💕
So lovely. What a nice, kind family. Thanks for sharing.
How very beautiful!! Thank you for your love and dedication to these kitties!!! Your Dad is incredible!!
My dad wasn't a fan of cats either until he met a foster cat Louie that my brother brought home during the initial covid lockdown in March 2020. The whole family and Louie quarantined together for several months. Then when the cat rescue people called to say they had found Louie a forever home, my dad couldn't let him go. So we told them we're keeping Louie and that we're open to fostering more cats (but not failing this time lol). We've been fostering cats for over a year now and Louie has been so wonderful with all our foster kitties. It's so sad when they leave us, but we're so grateful for the time we get to spend with them. Louie has been a blessing and we love him so much.
This reminds me so much of how lucky I am for having the loving dad that I have.
Oh my gosh your dad is the sweetest!
Lovely family.
