Cat lives suck. It is so sad
My orange tabby's absolutely favorite toy is a dollar tree "fish" that used to be on a stick. I removed the stick and he plays "fetch " several times a day. My Calico prefers a soft pony tail holder of mine. She stole it out of the bathroom one day and now its hers.😂
My cats don’t like laser pointer it bores them.
Can I ask you something. I have watched some videos and they say that dry food is not good. That you should give your cat wet or raw food.
i'd like to add, tunnels, a cat fountain and grass
My Cat is indoors 0nly.!
*puts scratching post out* Cats:I WANT TO GO TO THE COUCH STUPID HOOMAN *puts scratching pad on floor* Smokey:OOH SOMETHING TO SCRATCH AND SIT ON!! 😸🐈⬛🐱
Mama cat:No im not using your stupid tricks grr
The least expensive toys are his favorites, I've spent hundreds on enrichment for this cat and his favorite toy is a ball of yarn.
My dog ate a piece of koko crunch(google it, it's a chocolate cereal) that fell from my table and I'm super worried. She's 15 lb and has no current problems except her heartbeat is fast (I should probably check that, that happened before any chocolate problems) should i worry
the bell in the start bursted my ears.
Thank you!! I like the laser toy. I looked at some of the other toys that you showed and definately the tree with scrarcher:)
Just be careful How much you use the laser , always use a physical toy at the end of play time too. Plus careful with the eyes!! :) glad you enjoyed
The cats will have plenty of physical toys!! After reading the comments I'm not sure if it's worth the money now, I think i would have more fun with it than the cat.
<3
My cats go outside with me. Everything he doesn't come back in 20 minutes I look foe him. Sending him the message, you matter, food is here, play time us limited, you don't go any further than thus, leash trained, follows me everywhere, docile around fear. My cat is my baby. Who has a soul mate kitty?
The Balcony access is good advice. The harness is everything.
You purchased a wire with cardboard on the ends…
i sure did! lol
The laser pointer is NOT a good idea as the cat can't really catch the object ...
it's a bad idea to overdo it for sure. When i made the video i presumed most people would have the good sense to finish with a physical toy after playing with the pointer for a little while. I gave people too much credit i guess.
Brilliant!
🐈😺 ❤️💙
Cats very nice and very beautiful ❤️
Beautiful Kitty!
You want it to be "their" choice. Weather you like it or not, statistics clearly show it's dangerous out there. If you let them come and go as they wish like farm cats, as hunky dory as that may sound it will cut a big chunk from their life expectancy.
totally agree!
Really helpful thank you so much I’ve subscribed!! I’m longing for a kitty, and thinking about getting a Maine Coon, but worried about the size of my flat.. do perches and balcony access help in smaller flats? Your baby seems to be happy 🙂 Thinking of putting up a cat highway as well as a window hammock those look great 😁
thanks! the video was filmed in my old apartment which was 800 sq feet! not huge :) but not tiny either, I think most definitely the smaller the space the best it is to focus on height!
@@dolittlesden hi!! Thank you so much for taking the time to respond I really appreciate it 😊 I’ll definitely find ways to use the height and the space I’ve been given, mines about 800 as well.. happy weekend!
The best thing for an indoor cat is another cat to play with. I was given a kitten and quickly realised he needed a friend to play with. I managed to get another kitten from the same litter, the difference since his brother came to live with us is unbelievable he’s so much happier. They’re both imprinted on me but when I’m at work they’ve got each other and that makes me feel so much better.
I like a FOIL ball more than the laser thing....they can't CATCH the laser thing....just my 2 cents!
Indoor cats get bored while outdoor cats get killed really easily because they don’t really have a defense mechanism and they often kill wildlife which can decrease wildlife so i’d say, get a full fenced backyard with tall fences and no exists or a catio that they have access to 24/7
Dislike for using laser pointer
❤️
Do you have another video on Apartment cats when they get bored
I have a balcony, which also can be accessed by a window. What I did was I made one of those DIY cat cages, very huge and very cheap. (If you get crafty you can make it very nice with multiple layers) Then what I did was I got a window cat door and made the cat door only accessible to the cat cage, so the cat can go into the balcony cat cage whenever he wants. I used some heavy plastic netting to make sure that there was no chance he could access the open areas of the balcony from the cat door. (A lot of netting, zip ties and a power drill were involved)
I hve 3 kittens 5mnths old...grnf floor aptmnt...balcony is covered with glass windows n ive made a big hammock where they chill out ..but i constantly worry about not giving them outdoor life..sunshine, grass, plants, rain to njoy.... wat is best for them?
Mine need a second tree
Yeah, I definitely notice that my cat gets bored indoors compared to when she gets to spend time outdoors at our cottage. She's still a kitten and wants to spend hours upon hours playing each day. The outdoors can provide that kind of stimulation, I can't. My favorite way to mimic the outdoor needs of a kitten has been to sprinkle small toys everywhere, so she can't take two steps without finding something fun to poke at. It's messy, but the outdoors is messy, and it keeps her from bothering me as much for playtime.
My dog just ate chocolate a few mins ago He is laying down…😢😢😢 He ate raisin chocolate
i would recommend you call your vet: chocolate and raisins are both toxic for dogs
How do you remove your cats oders
With toys.. My cats have found a way to tear apart literally every toy including very tuff dog toys. I take my cats on walks for some exercise
I purchased these types of items and my cat got no drill out of them. I wasted money and my cat prefers boxes paper rolled up and thread and strings. So I'm gonna say it's a no for me. None of my cats care how u care for them just as long as you feed them and give them space. The overweight issue is that cats like all animals love to eat treats. No treats.
thanks for sharing your experience, however i would recommend caution when letting a cat play with strigs and thread. These are risky as cats tend to swallow them, under very close supervision only.
My dog ate the wrapper paper of a white Reese’s cup, but only a tiny piece, any advice? Should I worry?
Getting a cat soon I need to take everything in!
Thank u so much!!!
Keeping a cat indoors, is the same as keeping a parrot in a cage. Unnatural and cruel.
Got a tip on which clippers work best for left handed owners?
oh interesting question! i am left handed but have always used right-handed scissors in life so i don't have this issue. You could consider using human toenail clippers but position them sideways/perpendicular to the nail, if that makes any sense. It's not the ideal tool but that's what i used for years i just had to find the correct angle so it didn't fray the nail, i would also buy a brand new one to make sure it's sharp so it'll cut neatly and reserve that one for the cat :) . hope that helps! but i'll check if they actually make left-handed cat nail clippers!
What a interesting vid and nicely done. I wish you was my vet friend 😊 lol, lovely eyes no offence! I think indoor cats are better and kinda live longer than outdoor cats, some cats can be trained However some just look at you like "yeah I see the trick am not interested just fine the treat instead 😸". How did you make that cardboard/wire toy? Overall good info and video 👍😸🐾
sorry but the intro is too long
I need a honest answer if I should get a cat and please do not spare my feelings on the subject. I've wanted a cat for a while now but am unable to let it live outside due to the other cats where I live being aggressive and territorial, so I am thinking about getting one and letting it live in the house, there are some problems... 1.Dogs: I have 2 dogs, one pup and one adult dog. The adult dog gets along perfectly with cats but the pup tried to attack a cat last week and doesnt seem to like them. Solution: I let the cat have access to the upstairs since the dogs are not allowed up there(I spend most of my time upstairs), but another problem comes with that and that is the cat jumping the baby fence at the top of the stairs. Please give me some advice or simply just tell me its not a great idea for me to get a cat.
hmmm that is a tough one, but my gut feeling is that the poor cat (and possibly even the dog) would probably feel a lot of stress in this situation. You are asking yourself the right questions, i think you know the answer but do not despair, you will have a kitty one day :)
Hope he was ok after that fall 🤭
my cat looks exactly like that
I'm cat once jumped from my balcony
