Cats purring is one of the most hypnotizing sounds on this planet
Kitty cat purrs are on a frequency which adds to human bone density!
Hello kitty how are you doing I really do love cat my cat put to birth yesterday I am so happy .
Ohh, Yeahhhhh
@@Miracleedafiogho34 aww yay!! Congratulations!!!!!
My cat put me under a spell. Help! I'm now it's slave
I like how she can't contain her excitement when talking about cats.
LMAOOOO!
She's pretty calm?lol

"Cats domesticated themselves. And they gave us mind-altering parasites"
Yep. That's definitely something cats would do
What I love about cats is that they are not high maintenance 🐶🐶🐶
Yes! And I am so happy to be infected by their wonderfulness! I love being their obedient minion!
I hate that they try to push this junk-science on us about these parasites...I would like to see the evidence and journal articles and the numbers on this 'parasite' thing. I don't buy it.
HOLY CRUD. When you think about it they Groomed US...
@@paulmurphy6496 obviously you havent met my cat, acts like a spoiled rotten princess😅 ✌
I grew up with dogs all my life but when i decided to get a cat 8 years ago, my life has never been the same. He's my lazy roommate, my baby brother, my life.
I still love dogs, but having my first kitten when I was in high school converted me, and I never looked back.
Same, same & I couldn’t agree more
Aww that's so sweet. I love cats very much too.
💗
Yah idk why I waited 20 years to get a cat
Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.
James Cameron
So true! Even when I used to leave town for few days, my friends and family would come by daily to open fresh cans of food, change the water and clean the litter box.
So it's really true! Cats do have a staff!
Cats have slave.*
I dont like to be a slave for anyone so i dont like cats ._.
Slaves'
Dogs are the ones who have staff.
James Cameron literally
There are two kinds of people really, people who like cats, and people who THINK they don't like cats.
There’s the 3rd one. That crazy cat lady type. Ya know, the one that think there’s one species in the world, instead of millions
Cathrine Lundqvist -
"people who THINK they don't like cats......"
Yep - such as the "I don't like cats" friend who is not-so-secretly charmed when your Mog jumps up onto HIS/HER lap - rather than yours, as is usual - curls up, and rapidly falls asleep:
"Ooh, sorry about that. Do you want me to lift him off ?"
"NO !!!!!!!! Er, I mean, it's fine, really......thanks. Any wine left in that bottle ? I don't want to, er, disturb the cat....."
Etc
You just gotta love Feline Magic (to say nothing of Feline Psychology)!
I used to be the person who didnt like cats until I went to visit a shelter where my cat chose me. 😊 He brings so much joy into our lives.
You forgot :
- people who dislike cat because they’re afraid of them
- people who loves cat but they have allergic over cat
- dog person
People are often taught not to like cats Buy adults in the family
People love cats because they are conscious and display a wide range of emotions. The fact they are independent and don't just do as they are told means that when they are affectionate and loving it has more meaning and is genuine.
Totally agree.
yes! this.
What I love about cats is that they are not high maintenance 🐶🐶🐶

@@robihamdani5385 - As much as your poisonous, killer frogs?
Well said
Cats actually don’t meow to communicate with each other. They created meowing to try and communicate with _us_ . I think that’s amazing
Oasis true, I have never heard my two cats (siblings) meow at each other but they meow to me when they’re hungry or want to enter my room.
They do “talk” to each other on mating season
Even then it doesn't really sound like a proper meow
Valiant Pramana it’s more like a scream
Valiant Pramana when my cat is in heat and she is “talking” it sounds like she’s being murdered, I feel really sad for her because it just sounds so depressing
Time spent with cats is never wasted
I have that phrase in my room
I have that on a shirt lmao
szervusz not even when they are asleep
Never.
Honestly not a second even when I sat out in the rain snow and cold just to spend more time with them
They're basically wild animals and yet they seem precision designed to be a perfect companion for a modern human. They're small, not stinky, naturally inclined to use litter boxes instead of the floor, able to show affection, trigger a human's "protect baby" instincts with their meows and huge eyes.
They really have huge eyes!! I never realized how big they are in proportion to their heads, until I had my own (black) cat for a while. Then I saw a picture of a black panther and honestly it looks almost creepy, how tiny and dark the eyes are, now that I'm so used to my cats eyes. It's so weird
@@drea409 well tbf the body is way bigger making the eyes also look smaller lol
Idk about not stinky. I can tell which of my coworkers own cats by their smell 🥴
@Kevin Lucero well sure, if you have 5 cats in an apartment and don't clean much you're gonna have a cat pee stench. But one average cat will probably not be stinkier than one average dog.
@@blackosprey2219 yeah you gotta bathe dogs a lot for them to be non stinky. Or get a dog like a shiba which tend to be slightly less smelly.
When the lady said "how susceptible we are to a cat's meow", she smiled wide because she was thinking about her cat meowing. Honestly its like my chips drop and i am instantly disarmed when i hear a cat meowing. A cat could murder the whole world and meow at me and i will forgive and forget.
So blessed to be tamed by these cutie pies.
Hello Kathakali
Hello kathakali,hope you’re having a wonderful day?
Hello Kathakali how are you doing?
Hello Kathakali, did you have a nice week-end?
Cat has this kind of cute eye they looks charming which which make you also forgive easily 🥰🥰 most times my cat does that even when I'm sad and he doesn't want that 😀 do you have a cat too? @kathakali
To paraphrase the late Terry Pratchett:
"Cats used to be venerated as gods - and they haven't forgotten that."

@@piketteo6911 I've heard that the reason they leave half eaten animals for you is because they think you can't hunt by yourself and so they share theirs, i dont quite know how to feel about that
P S mine too
I wasnt so much a cat person. I was a dog person, but didnt think much for cats, didnt even think much of them.
After a life crippling depression, I was left with my daughters cat. She was his life and when she moved out, I wasnt just as great company.
But then he loved me back to getting out of bed. After that, I got to understand the way he communicates so much better. Now cats are a source of love and joy. 🥰🥰🥰
Hello there can we be friends here if you don't mind send me a friend request thanks.
Hi berenice hw are you doing
“People may surprise you with unexpected kindness. Dogs have a depth of loyalty that often we seem unworthy of. But the love of a cat is a blessing, a privilege in this world.” - Kinky Friedman
"Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods." - Hitchens
Thank you. Now I'm enlightened.
Yes, true. I often tell my cat why he's acting like a boss when it's me who is the boss. He still doesn't listen or never in his life together with his siblings believe that I am the boss. Life!
Cats are smart, very perceptive and sneaky!
ahhh words of the wise and rhetorical Hitchens!
Love him as much as I love cats...and i loves me some cats.
rip sir
Well it about how much you train your cat my cat knows I am the boss how interesting love and fear actually can coexist
Easy to care for, cute, poised, graceful, loyal, protective, peaceful, comforting, heart-warming noises, playful, agile, ninja reflexes, efficient hunters, supernaturally sensitive, eerie glowy eyes.... They just have such complexity to them.
T-Zay They aren’t loyal. CAT brain scans and intensive research proves that. A lot of people can also test your claim that they are peaceful. They are in no way protective. Their biology and ancestry plays a major role. Most cats excluding lions hunt on their own. They even hunt each other. Cats are not naturally inclined to protect humans because it is not an instinctive trait of them.
Very loyal.
Merkel's Fourth Reich Eeeeh depends on the cat. I’m constantly amazed my one cat is as loyal as he is. He actually comes to me for help when sick. O_o which is bizarre but he’s also the second cat to do this. New cats are still in the juvenile stage, but are a mix of a classically dog like breed, so they might be more loyal.
@@ronaldmcdonaldsex-husband5624 yes they are loyal don’t care what those researchers say
Looks like you got some toxoplasmosis going in your Brain
Before i had cats, i was basically a low life miserable 8-5 worker straight out of high school. Then I adopted 2 twin sister kittens and they changed my life. One didn’t make it to 1 year (im so sorry my baby) so then I adopted 2 more. We now have 3 and I’m so happy everytime I see them ☺️
I've been going through hard times in life and the main thing that kept me going was my cats. I felt I needed to get better cause they depend on me and I couldn't let them down. That gave the strength to keep going day by day. Now I'm much better I can tell they have been my major pilar to get here.
Same 🤎
What I love about cats is that they are not high maintenance 🐶🐶

For a man to truly understand rejection… he must first be ignored by a cat. 🐱
imnotmelvin3 Q
Baby Eagle you are loved very much! 💖
Baby Eagle Yes. We can teach you a lot.
imnotmelvin3 the best way to get a cat to pay attention to you is to ignore them
Don't force affection and you won't get rejected.Learn to respect their space and win their trust slowly. It applies both to humans and cats.
"Cats domesticated themselves."
Translation: Cats saw a bunch of graceless, hairless apes and thought "Look at these chumps with all the free food and shelter..."

This person OBVIOUSLY has a bad case of Toxoplasma Gondii.
All my life I have considered myself a “dog person”. All the time my kids were growing up they had a cat or two, but they were the kids pets, I just provided the food. Four months ago I got the surprise of my life. I totally fell for a cat. A kitten, actually, a lovely little calico with the loudest purr and the adorable habit of sucking her left front paw...but only when she is lying on my chest while we both fall asleep. I’ve turned into a cat lady.
Hello Sandy how are you doing
Hello how are you doing
@@SusanKay- Hello Sandy how are you doing
@@SusanKay- you cat do have those adorable eye the could make say yes even after saying no to something countless time I wonder how my cat gets to know when I'm in a bad mood and then everything becomes better 🥰🥰 do you have a cat as a pet?
I do have a dog and a cat. 💖🥰
My calico is a butt, but my parents love her almost more than me. Calicos are very affectionate and can win over even the most stoic of people.
anyone who has ever been snuggled by a cat who voluntarily came forth to have snuggle will understand that there is not a truer form of love on this Earth.
I think that their independence is what people both like and dislike about cats. A cat person admires their independece. They are more our partners in life than pets. A person who doesn't like their independence is looking for a pet who is subservient to their will. Cats will never be subservient!
Hello👋
How are you doing
Hi Debra hw are you doing
I'm fascinated by cats because they don't have to listen or even like a human but they are still given food and shelter.
Jaqen H'gar You are mistaken! Like dogs regard us as pack members, cats regard us as mothers.
Nah I know my cat loves me
Humans like the way they look and sound..their athleticism quirks...and the way their fur feels...they know that...they dont have to be nice to humans bro.
They make you feel like you've been 'chosen'
You gotta earn their trust. If a cat does not like his human, the human is doing something wrong. Cats are delicate creatures with dignity
What I love about cats is that they are not high maintenance.
Until they get ill. Vets are not cheap!
I LOOOOOVE Cats, I like dogs, but you are correct cats are very LOW maintenance, they can be left alone for a weekend and NOT tear up the place because they ate all of their food on day 1. :)
Natalia Nieto same
That is what I always thought until I took in my stray 😂
@@overitentirely awww your so luckyy😭I've seen so many strays but I'm not allowed to have cats.
They really take care of us when we are ill . They are honest in rage and love . They don't make fake friends.
My cat taught me how to be a better human. Cats can only do what they feel like doing, they aren’t obedient, they just sometimes listen when they want to. Cats taught me how to always put myself first and make sure my needs are met before i put care towards anything else. I love my roommate. 🥰🥰 after 5 years together he finally lets me cuddle him…but not a moment before he felt like it,
My two cats are sooo cuttteee I just which they would leave.all this fur on my back clothing when I hold them.but it's worth it

My friend has a cat and she says I was the only outsider the cat would allow to rub her belly, and I don't think I have ever felt so honored in my life.
My cat has had me as her pet for 5 years now. I think she wonders whether I am worth the effort. But the back rubs and the food seem to be making her keep me around.
danzigvssartre Your comment made my day 😂😂😂
👌😹
danzigvssartre I love my little devil spawn, but if my cat ever got the idea she was my owner, she would fly out the window into the snow :>
(I know it's a joke, but these types of jokes are getting annoying)
danzigvssartre cringe
I'm confused, you get back rubs for feeding her?
They’re lil tigers. All with their own crazy personality.
I think that purring is a calming vibration which helps to soothe the cat himself and those around him.
A lot of women think I'm weird for being a man that loves cats. I don't care I love cats!!!!! Cats are dope 👌
You need to associate yourself with better women.
Those are the wrong women to associate with.
There are MAAAAAAANY people who will appreciate your love for cats!!!
That's the ONE behavior I love about cats: their extreme cleanliness, if cats were zodiac signs, they would definitely be Virgos: always grooming themselves/ hard workers: cats are always making biscuits 😂

Cats trained humans to accumulate grain and put it in granaries to assure them of an adequate supply of mice.
David Lloyd-Jones They didn't train us to accumulate grain, we did that on our own because of the surplus afforded us by agriculture. The mice followed the grain. The cats followed the mice. We tolerated the cats.
😆😆😆😛
.......dude, sarcasm?
All The Artsy: Jesus, I'm... I'm so sorry... [Slowly pets your hair while choking back tears]
Love the sarcasm David Lloyd-Jones. You know why we value them and that we build the cat propiganda on top of a core need.
They're cute, introverted and don't spit all over your face in greeting.
Fair enough
Oh, and they also literally heal your body and soul by purring
And they don't stink of dog

I think she’s kind of putting all cat owners in a box. My cat and I have a very close bond built on mutual respect. I don’t just think of him as cute and meme-worthy. He’s a complex, intelligent, powerful, independent being. AND he’s my super special cuddly cutie pie baby-waby yes he is. Yesheis!

Cats are just that fascinating that we can't ignore.
You know, even if I only love cats because I'm infected with a parasite ... I can't really say I mind. I still love cats.
Janis Cortese It shouldn’t be called a parasite, because of the mutual bond I have with them. Thanks parasites for making me love my cats even more, you may continue to host my body.
Schizophrenia sounds ok to you? Yeah i'd pass.
I LOOOOOVE my cat, I'm also obsessed with cats online, and I got tested for the parasite as part of another blood test, and I don't have it, so I'd say that theory is just a theory

I had a cat that would mimic the sounds of birds she would stalk. It was amazing. And it was undeniable that that's what she was doing. The birds would tweet and chatter and in "response" she would meow as closely as she could, she was copying them. It was really amazing, she was super intelligent, I think.
Love all the Cole & Marmalade clips! 😹😻
It's been a lil over a week since my cat passed away suddenly. I had him for about 10 years. It's so hard to explain, especially to people who don't understand the love one has for their pet. My husband tells me he'll get me another Somali but I just can't right now. It still hurts because I loved him so much.
My kitty that I had 16 years had to be put down last year. We have another Cat but I still cry everyday. Losing a friend you grew up with is painful even if they're not human.
Sorry for your loss. Definitely get counseling if you need it because pet grief is real.
So sorry for your loss. It takes a while, I know, and not everyone will understand, but who cares? I hope things are better.

I LOVE CATS. always have, as Leonardo saving I once said, " cats are perfection, the perfect animal in nature ". Da Vinci owned cats. I have never been without a cat (cats). In fact I "feel" feline. I could not live w/ out cats in my life. I even covet everybody else's cats as well. Yes, I am obsessed and there's no apology there. I feed strays and find homes for them. I am a "cat" person. I love all animals, but the cat is always number one. Little cats to big cats , lions, tigers, the whole species of cats. Cats make life easier, cat people are happier than non cat owners. Lions are my cup of tea, could cuddle w/ them all day long. However, that just isn't possible so I own rescued domestics. Cats are everything a human could ask for.😻😻😺😺😺😺😸😸. I owned dogs in the past and I loved every one of them, but dogs are different, they have to be walked. Cats are self sufficient, they walk themselves, and yes, they come when they're called (sometimes)... Animals are precious, innocent and deserving of compassion, they give us a hundred fold in return.
Cats are great. They sense our emotions and try to help. We feed them they love us.
I love all cats but black cats are my favorites.
How about tuxedo cats?
Yes, mine too!
I love🖤🐱 black cats as well. And black ⚪⚫white cats too. Aww! I have one. I'm his slave.

Cats make the best pets. They are so intelligent, funny, lovable and easy to care for.
What I love about the cats I've had in my lifetime is that they both love you and knock you down. They love you and cuddle with you and let you pet them and they're grateful for the things you do for them like feed them. But every now and then they do something to remind you that you're not the hot stuff you might think you are, because as much as they love you, you can't tell them to do anything. They'll ignore you, bite you, leave messes everywhere, smack you, and leave dead "gifts". They're a perfect beautiful and hilarious mix of love and indifference. I do see divinity in them.
I'm just glad I'm bigger than my cats. I've seen them hunt.
JAMES KRAMER Yesterday, while saying my morning prayer before I got out of bed, one of my cats jumped on my chest. At that same time bad thoughts started seeping in to my head. I rebuked saten in the name of Jesus. My cat bolted out of the room at the same time. After some investigating, I've determined it was just a co-,incidence and laughed it off. It did scare me a little at first though.
NotaVampyre 111 that's why we don't keep tigers lol
NotaVampyre 111 That crosses my mind too sometimes. The way my cat throws her paws at those flies - that would be awful😅

I just imagined a world, where cats are giants, and we worship them as gods, and we even sacrifice humans to them.
It would be a a strange world to be sure.

Cat Lady Fitness Same here. After rescuing a little boy that was living on the streets . Love cats.
Who else is watching this with your cat in your lap purring❤
I taught my second kitty how to meow. He would open his mouth and it seemed just like a meow but no sound would come out so I started squeaking at him and he started squeaking back and never stopped. Miss that baby! Miss both of my hyper-carnivore babies. 🐈
They trigger the baby lovin’ areas of the human brain
No way i prefer cats to babies! And they are not as demanding as human babies😊
Cats are better than babies because they're smart and independent whereas babies are totally dependant pooping and wailing things 😂
I don't really like babies but I'm obsessed with cats. Though I do agree I think cats are like an improved baby that doesn't require the whole world.
I've never really been maternal around human babies, bring one near & I'm marking out possible exit routes, but stick a cat infront of me & my maternal instinct kicks in & goes into overdrive 😂😂😂
This is the same thing with me! Can't do human babies, but if their is a cat in the room, get out the way, maternal instincts kick in instantly.

I know! I knew a lot of the cats. 😹
Yes, Cat Man Chris (with Cole and Marmalade) are the only positive thing about this video. The rest is nonsense.
grytlappar me too 😊
And the honking Dobby ❤️
2 of the most famous (and adorkable) Cats of the Net! Chris has such a good 💗 - and any man who adores felines as much as he does ... there's hope for Mankind! 😻😁😸
Cats are the best pet in the entire world!
Cats are generally not vocal animals. They communicate with each other using body language. However, since humans communicate vocally, then cats usually communicate vocally with us.
To have a deep relationship with an animal, you have to first acknowledge their universe before having the expectation that they will understand yours.
TooLooze wtf we live in the same universe or are there some space cats I'm not aware of?
Your gf is Ricci flat lol yes you can
sadcatgirl 900 Do you not know every cat’s brain is oozing LSD??? This is not a joke. I saw brain images in my Psych Intro book back in the 60’s. Look it up.
Cosmic Rift YOU CAN’T. How did you become so emotionally and interactively stunted? I’m surprised, but I actually feel sorry for you.
@Cosmic Rift So false, clearly you've never had one with an animal yourself.
I love that there are shots of Cole and Marmalade in here.
They're cute, smart very funny and can be downright weird! We have 2 in a small apartment. I can't wait to get a bigger place so I can get one more! Love them!
I just want to say goodbye to my 21 year old cat 3 days ago I spent a theird of my life with her and I can't believe she gone so much love we share... 😭😭😭
I for one welcome our feline overlords.
Those that didn't welcome them are dead, dead because the mice and rats ate their food. That excludes the hunter gatherers, but the armies of cat civilization killed them. You could have cities and armies with cats.
Abram Carroll - Cities and Armies with Cats ... But only if they LET you! You must be inspected, and selected, all according to the "International Cat Standards" rulebook!
Because, no one really "Owns" a Cat. They tolerate us, at their pleasure!
!And They_Will_Cheat_On_You! 😼 So don't get too complacent! Your Hooman 'Slave' / 'Food-Fetcher' position is only as secure as the next, tastier bag of Treats - usually next door, or around the block!
But don't take it personally, there's another one right around the next corner, and he might 'pick' you!
Nature abhors a 'Cat vacuum'. So there's that! 🐅🐆🐱😻
The sad thing is that most humans do not know how to love animals by what they are trying to humanize them. Cats are amazing just being cats as any other species is also incredible by its own way. I wish someday most people who have cats will know how to take care of them properly and to respect them since that is not what happens today
True. Some hurt them just for them acting on their instincts.
I couldn’t agree more. I love animals; people confuse loving animals with treating them like children. I don’t like that people take them on planes or to the mall or such stressful environments, or dress them like babies or declaw them, etc etc.

What I love about cats is that they are not high maintenance 🐶🐶
Why do I love cats? Because I like to be surrounded by regal and fabulous things. Freddie Mercury.
My orange cat is amazing. I am totally obsessed.🧡
Cause they are adorable, smart and manipulative
My overlord got angry for watching this, she thinks I am interested in other cats.
Hahaha awesome does your overlord let go outside and have some treats
I just love them. I always have and I always will!!
theyre so cute and awesome
And they relieve stress. It's proven
My cat is beside me right meow!
My cat is obsessed with me. She was abandoned and homeless when I took her in 8 years ago. She follows me everywhere and watches me nonstop. It's sweet but also a little creepy when I wake up and she's staring at me. Hopefully, she doesn't mean me any harm. lol
Tellthetruth n/a .. waiting for the right time to strike.. j/k she loves you.. You're amusing.
ahha sma with me right now
I think she's afraid she will be abandoned again. She was completely wild when I first saw her. It took almost a month before she would come near me so I put out food every day and hid behind a bush to make sure she ate it. One day I came out while she was eating and she didn't run away. She still had a raggedy old collar that was 2 sizes too small around her neck. She allowed me to remove it and pet her head. After that we were inseparable. She moved right in. :-)
mine is misfitting with my little chihuahua
Cats have special healing powers!!! When I'm unhappy all it takes is a huuuge cat hug and the pain goes away...
Yeah you're right I also feel the same too how are you doing?
I just want to say goodbye to my 21 year old cat 3 days ago I spent a theird of my life with her and I can't believe she gone so much love we share... 😭😭

Hi Maria hw are you doing
Cannot live without a cat or cats. They’re the Best. Such a comfort. But they rule not us!
Cats can be mysterious animals, they have lives of their own and they enjoy their own space. This makes them unappealing to insecure people. They are also loyal, clean, affectionate, athletic and beautiful. A great combination. But I like dogs too.
If anything, adopt dont shop. Also dont forget to spay and neuter em, support local TNR initiatives, if any
Dimas Akbar I don't think it's a good idea to spay and neuter every cat in the world
whatsopanime Hello :), yes i am aware that some people will feel that way. May i know why you think that way?
Personally i have seen people arguing against it due to pity (eg. Every cats deserve to breed), ethical (eg. It is unnatural, i pity em), excessive love or fear (eg. Then they will extinct).
I love cats, my house take care of 28 unwanted cats, till now only 11 are adopted which leaves 17 for my family to care. We're not shelter but we cant left them to die
In my experience, the outside world is very harsh, i have seen cats being killed (maliciously or whimsically), tortured to death, involved in accident then left to death, prematurely thrown away and malnourished to death (especially kitten), roadkilled, honestly imo being preyed upon by wild dogs or eagles is a better option.
As much as good-intentional people try, in my opinion we can't save all of them especially if their population is out of control. Let alone area where cats become pest, or alien hazard for indigenous species (eg. New Zealand and Australia, land of the flightless bird).
If you have an idea on how to make better welfare to all kitties in the world, please do share it with us, for now i am advocating on population control, adoption, and humane treatment for all :)
whatsopanime Well duh, That would be the end of their species as we know it. It’s just good to spay or neuter indoor cats. If not you’ll run into some obstacles.
My cat is not fun anymore now that he has become a eunuch :(
We need more purebred cat owners, half the known breeds are dwindling into extinction, same with multiple dog breeds. Self righteous idiots like you telling people when, where, and how to open their homes to pets is the cause of mass genocide of many species. If overpopulation and euthanasia bother you, it's spay and neuter of ferals you need to worry about- not where I get my cat...
cause...those whiskers are adorable. and those tiny meows and little toe beans 😍
I *LOVE* cat paws. I really do.
pthesmith So do I. Also their velvety smooth little noses. And sweet little sandpaper kisses😽
Rowan Carr ...and the wiskers. So cute!
pthesmith oh my goodness,yes. 😻
shadowsinmymind9 you are so not the only one with a little bean obsession... It drives my cat crazy when I tickle her little foot beans
I never liked cats before I took a homeless tortie. I was working hard to get rid of her by contacting fostercare and put a note where I find her. I didnt gave her much attention accept washing her and give her food and water to survive. Then suddenly she came to me and showed her diastema while calling at me and she even came and hug my leg while I was on the phone. She showed me so much love and appriciate and made me fall in love with her. She even comunicated and understand me, she was so loyal. My father gave her name Sandy. The vet found out that she was 15years old and decided to let her sleep. I will never get over her my tortie queen. 🙏
Hello Vicky
@@davenutti6856 hello dear friend 👋
Hi Vicky hw are you doing
I absolutely love the sound of a purring cat.
Everyone should have at least one cat. Maybe two or three.
Jonny 58 l hate cats
Sara Allison no you can’t wtf that’s not humanly possible
I'm getting my fourth one... maybe I got that cat virus and now attracted to cats...
I have one cat but I wouldn't mind a second fur baby. 😊
I would love to have 7
I was NEVER a cat person but after the death of 2 beloved dogs I decided to get cats. I thought I would not be as devastated when their time to come. Wrong. They are officially my babies. One snuggles with me evertime I sit down. He is a huge fluffball and the sweetest guy ever. Never once scratched, hissed, bit. The other little guy follows me everywhere. He is my shadow and best friend. First cats ever and I will just die inside when their time is up.
My two cats are sooo cuttteee I just which they would leave.all this fur on my back clothing when I hold them.but it's worth it
That is so sweet.
I love cats when they purr
Its just relaxing

I wouldn't say obsessed but I do love cats. I love all animals.
Cats are the most intelligent creatures in the universe!
They tamed, trained and enslaved us hoomans to:
1) Buy them food, equivalent to hunting for them. Before grocery stores they trained us to hunt for their food too. 😻🐾🐾
2) Clean their litter trays.
3) Rub their ears
4) Give them affection on demand.
5) They are adorable
6) They purr to reward us when we do things properly for them.
7) They are adorable.
8) They clean themselves every day to make their fur soft so that we are constantly amazed at how soft they are.
9) 4 cats own myself and my girlfriend and we are happy to be their personal hoomans.
10) We love them.
11) I could go on, there are many other reasons but one of my Furry Purrys wants her tummy rubbed.
omg I wanted this list to go on forever :D
Never seen so much of a piece of truth in a comment
Yeah I love nibbling on my kitty softly then he play nibbles on me back then lick me
Cats are tiny gold diggers in well-kept fur coats and with fingernails ready to kill any bitches... and i love them
