Taming the feisty sibling - orange wild (feral) kitten - personality matters when taming
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- In this video I show how personality can really affect how fast or slow a feral kitten is able to be tamed. Most of these siblings tamed right up...but this orange one was a special case...
Me: Do you like to be pet?
Little Orange: Yesn't
Lol ikr
😅
Yesn’t 😂 WOW
Yesnt? What does that mean
😂🤣
cat: What is this?
human: affection
cat: ...disgusting... Do it again
Lol
Thats how i am sometimes!
😂😂😂 awww
I literally can imagine this while watching the video, lmao
The only thing I'm laughing at is your dead humor
This mixed response on her face of "don't touch me" and "that feels good though" is just so ridiculously adorable. :D
She looked so disgusted.
The exact same look my Dorable gave me, til a few months ago. Former Feral Queen is now a snuggle bunny!
The "I don't trust you but you make me feel good" look
Dunno why cats are like that, I’ve seen it happen a lot, I’d pet cats and they’d love it until they see my hand
My mind's telling me no
But my body
My body's telling me yes
I love how the white kittens are just like "Ehhh yeah she does that, sorry"
haha!
You’re not supposed to laugh at the ferocious beast. 😆
when you laught you show your teeth that means an attack coming:D
😂😂😂
Little orange firecracker kitty is still my favorite
Mine to
Firecracker is the perfect name.
Yep, mine too, but they're all cuties
I’d call her Ginger Spice.
Cattitude...
Imagine being terrified of getting eaten and using everything in your power to scare the perpetrator off just to get laughed at for cuteness
That kitten was not terrified, please
Ikr
Its fur was rigid that means its defensive and scared, please😑
Wouldint call it terrified but I also wouldint say its being eaten so your point still isint valid
@Summer of Kitty Love best comment ever 😂❤️
I suspect when the toughest kitty's defences finally crumble, they become the most fiercely loyal and affectionate cat of all.
Pretty much. I have the alpha queen from the litter of strays found in a small town south of my city. Fierce doesn't even begin to describe her. Adopted her at 8 weeks old and my God she gave her bug brothers (my rescued adults) a run for their money. TO this day, and even though she's the last of the three, she is still my loyal feisty tiny security guard. Basically a watch dog in a cat suit.
That happened to me when I was a kid, it’s totally true!
My sister stumbled across this lady that just let cats breed in her backyard without trying to help and then the babies would crawl in with these huge dogs who’d use them as chew toys. Disgusting, and cruel! I could only save two, one who was in the pen with a dog and ultimately didn’t last after a week and the other who was hiding in a thorn bush and made me COME AFTER HER. She was the most feral thing but the second we got her in the car and saw her injured kitten in my bra she went from hissing at us both to just my mom. Then she followed me around everywhere and would throw a tantrum if I was somewhere she couldn’t get to because the door was closed (I.e. the bathroom...) she chased the dogs out of my room and would sleep under the covers with me.
She repaid me though. She caught an absolutely GIANT rat that was chewing through pipes, herded people away from a snake that got into my room until we went to bed and attacked it at night, and even started howling and making a racket to attract my moms attention after i passed out in the shower.
My fierce little Lion guarded me until the day she died... I miss her dearly.
@@damagedvixen1779 That's a really good story. Thanks for sharing.
i love it when feral kittens get to that point where they still hiss but, like, mostly out of obligation than actual fright/fury.
EXACTLY
Cats being huffy and hissy out of principle rather than fear is my favourite thing, because that attitude you can just laugh at and pick them up and kiss them anyway, because they're not really scared or stressed
@@alexbenavidez4500 like a teenager calling to their mum when they're heading for the school bus and rolling their eyes and protesting when they get a hug on the way out,
And then the next day, need to leave by 7:55, so at 7:47 they yell, "okay, bye mum, heading off now", then linger by the door for five minutes...
Ginger kitten. "Don't touch me...hiss."
Brothers and sisters. "Chill sis, don't be shitty with the food and scritches giver."
A year and a half ago I found a feisty abandoned kitten. She was starving and lashed out at anything that moved near her. Now she’s the biggest love bug I’ve ever had.
Thank you thousand times for taking care of her. Greetings from a German cat mommy 🙋♀️🇩🇪
@@poughkeepsie8516 < what they said
Kitten:"you will never tame my WARRIOR SPIRI-oh that's nice ~"
“a little runt tough girl” that’s an accurate description of some of the runts I’ve dealt with.
I own a litter of cats and let me just say, they’re all flawless EXCEPT the runt. He’s an absolute asshole. I make any kind of mistake and he bites me. I offend him just by existing.
Still love him though 😜
Agreed..my 1st cat was a runt and was sickly..shes grown into a 9lb partially blind terrorist who ignores me, for the dog unless i have food and harasses my Maine coon mix males the largest of which is 13lbs🤣 feisty lil butthole
I’m wondering if spicy kitty thought her job was to protect the group. She really warmed up when she realized “job well done”
Usually there is a alpha of sorts that protects the others
@@erismana2105 not really
@@user-hanging-at-the-hanged-man Move along boi
Naw its more that she is the most scared. She is the smallest and she spends most of her time hiding behind her siblings. This isn't aggression so much as a fear response. She is like, ' I am scared if you come near me I will bit you!'
@@user-hanging-at-the-hanged-man it’s not you that’s for sure
Imagine never being touched and all of the sudden this long thing with 5 pointy things sticking out of it is head stright in your direction. I would be hissing too.
“Yes, pet me but don’t touch me”
Orange striped cats always have attitude!
I wouldn't say so, both of our orange tabbies were really mellow.
Yeah my Kurtz kitten was always the fiesty ones he thought he could take on the world
Don’t you mean “cattitude?”
No way. My red tabby MC boy is the sweetest furrball ever!
Isn’t that kinda racist? lol
She's a survivor, that one! When someone earns her trust, she'll be their kitty for life!
I find myself rather in love with 'ginger spice' there
That's the perfect name for her
The thumbnail be like:
*”crewmate: There is 1 impostor among us”*
When the impostor is sus!!!!
Amogus
I'm tired of amogus
Who is the imposter?

@@Lovingbeast030 I really thought that was funny 8 months ago
I have two ferals right now, a gray tiger striped girl who is coming aling nicely and a ginger boy who is fighting me all the way. I absolutely adore him.
I have four ferals im working on. I started working on them around 4 months of age. The 3 girls are doing great but the boy is giving me a hard time too. Its like he's the alpha of the litter protecting his sisters.
@@Dcc333 Do they let you get near enough to pet them? Can you hold them yet? Mine are advancing at different rates.
@@tootz1950 yes I can hold them, I can play with them outside in my living room and then grab them and put them back in their kennels, I can do what alot of youtuber cat people say cant happen with ferals after 3 months of age
@@tootz1950 I've also never had cats ive always had dogs so this is all new to me. One of the girls was in heat so I think helping her get through that made her trust me a little more. She walks around my house like she owns the place and walks up to me for some loving lol cats are cute.
@@Dcc333 Wow. You've done a fantastic job. Ferals definitely need you and I hope you can do the same for lots more. GL and thanks from us all.
Cute even (especially?) when mad!
Runt Kitten, "When it's SPICY on the streets, the streets make you SPICY."
white catto : mlem mlem do it agaen
orange : REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Omgosh, it's so sad seeing the scared one huddle between his siblings who look like they couldn't give a single fuck.
It's also adorable.
I love how my cat comes into our home meowing like he's complaining to me about having a tough day and he just got back from work 😂
Oh wow you’ve got a couple of flame point Siamese kitties they are all very cute though.❤️🐈❤️
Ooh, that little ginger feisty one is gorgeous. Well they all are. That littlest one is super spicy. What she lacks in size she makes up with cattitude
The short little hisses and the transition photo made my day ❤️ she’s so much like my Florence!
The level of kitten cuteness in this video is almost too much for me to handle!!!
I’d adopt them all, if I thought my two cats would get along with them. I’ve found out that they don’t like other cats in *THEIR* house that I just happen to live in.
Kitten: *Hisses*
Human: "So you have chosen pets!"
😁
I love how you handle the kitties! This "Firecracker" girl was a little special, hissing and spitting at you. You showed her how well the other kitties felt when petted, so she could learn from it. After some time she was melting when you pet her. She had no chance against your love. At 2:48 it is clear to see how she began melting and opening her heart. I bet she´s a very cuddly girl now and can´t get enough love. You´re a very nice and warm-hearted cat-mom!
I don't. She was overly rough and it was no surprise that the kitten responded that way to what would have appeared as an aggressive hand. Being a lot more gentle, moving slower, and approaching from below instead of from above and around the head would have achieved a much faster result with far less aggression.
That one kitten is so funny. I think she was saying don’t touch my brother. Lol.
Even when the girl “firecracker” kitty is hissing, she’s still adorable. Cute name that Mad Monty called her. 😊❤️ They’re all so cute.
I love the expression when she was resisting. She turned her little head and side eyed the human, only to succumb to neck scratching . So cute and funny.
The other cats are like, "Girl, you need to chill"
Lmao. I love how the boy is looking at her hand at 2:08.
"Bring it back. Wat u doin. Forget her pet me. pet ME."
She is like I am the redheaded step child! So stinking cute!
Please try with your hand low, upturned palm. In cat body language, a raised paw is a waring of a strike.
Thank you
I wondered that too. I never approach my cats head from above. Hand low and open.
Also pet gently especially if you have long nails. Otherwise the kitten/cat will feel like they are being scratched at and manhandled. Their response is to fight back.
I was screaming that the whole time.
she was scaring the ginger even more!!!! i hated how she handled her
I loved when she was getting a belly rub and then it stopped. It was like "I didn't say you could stop" LOL so much for spicy
So our "Blood for the blood god!" kitten downgraded to repeating "Die, die ,ddddiiieee~!" for a few more days. Then she gets a foster home and suddenly 100% fine. I guess she managed to get enough blood out of you for that blood god before moving on.
Skulls for the skull king!
Kitten cares not from wince the blood flows only that it does
Milk for te Khorne flakes
Orange Kitten be like: NO IM THE DEVOURER OF WORLDS
couple minutes later "She finally warmed up to people.." yup that went faster as expected
Diagnosis: requires hire dose of cuddles with a regular regiment of gentle petting and plenty of TLC
My sister adopted the feisty kitten that at 6 weeks was in a separate cage from her siblings. 12 years later she had a RED file at the vets office warning every tech that tried to handle her. Willie never improved and was a vicious little sh1t for the rest of her life. We have no idea why, we treated her with the same love and kindness as all our pets. Mom swears the cat was possessed.
Sometimes you'll just never know what it was. Animals can 100% have mental disorders like humans, sometimes caused by traumatic events, sometimes it just- happens.
I love cats. I actually never lived under the same roof as Crazy Willie. You would have had to see it to believe it. Never feral, always up to date on vet care, my mom treated her like a baby. Brushing her nightly, and feeding her then best quality pet food. She’d follow my mom around the house all day... But did not like to share her with other
humans........if you moved to fast ........Ankle Bite or Raw Ankle your choice.
I love the patients of people who take the time to show love. Pays big time later.
They are gorgeous. They will all come around the more they get touched and talked to. ❤❤❤❤
I don't know why, but i found myself chuckling at the transitions haha..
Good to see spicy girl calmed down at the end
Wow, she's special for sure! Usually orange tabbies are male!
Would kittens learn from observing their siblings that human equals good? Maybe a little?
They do actually. If they are around really calm people friendly cats then that rubs off on them. And if they have one sibling that is very hissy then that can make them more scared. That's why the very scared hissy feral moms will teach the kittens to be afraid of people too so we like to fix and return the moms when the kittens are weaned age so they don't have her scared influence. 🙂
They don't feel as scared when they're around their family, so yes
And I know it's hard work rescuing animals. And I know it's mentally hard. You are helping so many but there are always more. It's hard to have a kind heart. But I do believe in the scales of life. And yours is definitely tilted to the good. Thank you God bless you and most importantly God sees you caring for his creations.
0:10 believe it or not but I adopted that spicy orange tabby named Cookie (without the scratch on the nose). She is the best cat in the world and she is the sweetest now. We thank you for bringing Cookie into our lives.
What we have here is an adorable case of RESPEKT MAH FEROCITAY!
That ornery one is the one I wouldn't be able to put down. I love the runt.
you gotta give a little wet treat food when holding her .. show her the hands provide noms and not to be afriad
She's got spirit, the mark of a fighter...a survivor. Give her time, and she'll be among the most loving and loyal of cats. They are not so different from kids; give them something to believe in, and they'll be a friend for life.
Man after this hard week i needed this.. thank you!
The white ones are so cute and fluffy 🥺🥺🥺
_Must... resist... happiness...from...neck scratches!_
3:36 never has any human been this comfortable!
I have tried though.
Such a cute video with those 2 kittens hiding in the back of white kittens
The hissy one is like:
You will not fool me human with your cuddles!!!
They are so adorable 🐈. 😍 💕 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈
Adorable kitty's....even feisty paws.🐈
Little buddy be cussing them out in every cat-speak he knows
girl? an orange girl? I thought orange cats were always Male
Generally they are you are correct. They can be female though, a lot of orange cats born female don't survive long of have a deformity. My sweet little orange baby got kicked out of the litter for being the smallest and had only 3 and a half legs. Vet said she wouldn't live past a year, she lived to be sixteen. Very wonderful years 🙂
@@amymbeauty8765 Heart warming. Glad to hear she lived a long life.
Cutest thing ever. I love cats💕💕my cat is half mainecoon and protects my front door if anyone knocks. He's so cool. Thank you for the love you give to these cutie 💕
"I shall defeat you, vile woman! 😠"
"Wait, is that tuna? 🤔"
"Well adding tuna to the equation just gives you an unfair advantage."
Plot Twist: she swapped the kittens somehow. The Hissing kitten was never tamed >:^)
Usually the ginger kitties are sweet that I see in videos. Its like they want affection but, not really.😂
The orange ones: BACK OFF WOMAN!!
" I did not gave you the permission to pet me?"
I really admire the love and bravery in you. You handled Baby Spice so beautifully 😻
"Don't get the wrong idea! It's not like I don't want you to pet me or anything, baka!"
Orange cats are daredevils compared to other kitties
Guess my orange boy missed that memo. He's so submissive and the biggest lug.
I just like they're protective and scared, but when they're petted, they're calm
They are just such beautiful little kittens.
The best way to tame an upset kitten like this is to not touch, or reach for them. We had one kitten that was wild. We didn't realize we had her. So we had her inside. Every evening I'd sit on the couch and talk to her in very soothing tones. The first night she was way on the other side of a very big room hiding. Each night she would be a little bit closer. She would watch me and listen. Soon she was 4, 5 feet in front of me. I kept my hands at my side. The next night she was perched on the very end of my knee. I still kept my hands at my side. The next night she finally couldn't take it any more. She ran down my leg and rubbed noses with me. From then on I could pet her, pick her up, everything and she was fine. She was fiercely loyal to me and would turn herself inside out to run swiftly to me when I called her. She didn't allow anyone else to touch her though.
"Saving one animal won't change the world, but it will change the world for that one animal." ❤️❤️❤️
Wow she's really protecting her siblings because they never interacted with humans and that take a lot of time to gain there trust
I always find heartwarming how a scared and aggressive little animal can eventually turn into a loving and affectionate one eventually.
The most feisty of kittens make to most loyal and lovey cats(for the persons that win them over) In my experience. My Feisty boy was totally feral when I found him and his sister. The sister was off the wall happy to be found and came right up to me. the other was all hisses and spit unit I could wrangle him up. I adopted out the friendly one with in a few days and figured I would acclimatize the non people cat. He spent a few days figuring things out and we clicked(he's my cat boy now). He turned into a great cat; Great mouser, companion, and character!. Sometimes though when I have to take call on speaker phone he gets jealous... He'll throw a fit and start with loud meows that turn into bites to the hands and wrist(they aren't hard or even near leaving a mark on skin bites), but he still acts this way only when I am on the phone in speaker mode. If he can't hear the person on the other line there isn't a problem, but if I do speaker phone he'll be there listening, complaining, and trying to pull me away.
Those babies are in the right hands, God Bless you!
My cat Kiwi was feral. He tamed quite easily because he is extremely docile and playful.
My first cat Goku had a feral mum and a feral sister (the two were my aunt's cats). The sister was born in an house, and received human contact from the start, but she grew up to be feral. When Goku was born, my aunt gave her to me when she was just 45 days old, in fear she could become feral as her sister did.
Goku was tame and easy going around people, but she had the same aggressive personality of her mum and her sister, so i can beliveve she could easily become feral aswell. She stayed with me for 19 years, she died this summer.
So apparently the way to tame feral kittens is basically to love them into submission
the white kitten with the orange is precious
the white kitten with the orange is precious
😂kittens are so cute especially when they hiss, my kitten would hiss if I just walk pass him....I love it👍🏾👍🏾
Orange kittens always are the most angry, but when they are older they never leave you alone.
VERY PROTECTIVE SIBLING INDEED
It's hard to take them seriously because the more they hiss and act angry the cuter they are. I just want to scoop them up and carry them around all day
I know we domesticated these animals centuries ago but I just like when they're rebellious and tough 😭
Those are the ones that haven't agreed to this domestications bullshit yet 🤣
I cant leave my eyes of that kittens its SO CUTE love this vid! I subs
Oh my goodness cuteness overload.
A few years ago my coworker and I use to find kittens and bring them to the shelter i volunteered with to be tamed. Some of them were ok with humans, other were like your fiesty kitten. It made me think if we were doing the right thing trying to adopt them out. Maybe they wanted to just be outside and wild and free. We bought in 10 kitten, but the shelter made us stop because they were a "handful" lol.
Really loved the little drum an bass sounds!!!you should do that more it adds great effect
So cute when cats sleep with their tummy up. That’s when you know they are really calm and feel safe
So much cuteness ❤❤❤❤
Bravo. My advice is never give up. I adopted 2 feral kittens (brother and sister) at about 3 months old so there was a lot of hissing and hiding and general aggro to begin with. I'd just sit near them and ignore them and they gradually calmed down (and soon became a bit pissed off about the ignoring thing) until, after over 2 years, the penny finally dropped and within a few days of each other they both became lap cats - one of the best moments of my life.
So true, in case of cats we might have to wait for 1-2year. Happy for you and your cats.
Wow that's real patience and determination!.
the spicy ones are always the most rewarding, in my opinion ❤️
What a little brat. I love her.
The kitties are scared, but the ginger is braver than the others. She tries to protect herself. When you try to befriend a scared kitty like that, try to speak softly first.
