This cat is the living embodiment of "Improvise. Adapt. Overcome".
"That's a great cat right there"
Most orange cats are like that 😂. They're so energetic, playful & quite smart 🐈
Youve encouraged this
Let us learn from the cat.
Environmental effect...😁
“His automatic feeders limit his actual intake.”
(Cut to kitty reading the users’ manual and reprogramming feeder.)
Or better yet, trash the feeder and always have food available for this hungry cat. It’s not a dog.
@@cynthiaamitrano8915 That cat is already eating 5 times a day. Hope you don't own a cat.
@@cynthiaamitrano8915 Cats can still get chunky. Which will lead to health problems and possibly shortening his life, having a feeding schedule and set portions is part of owning a pet. Just because he’s “Not a dog” doesn’t mean his owners shouldn’t be responsible. :)
Man that is too funny!
@@cynthiaamitrano8915 overweight cats get fatty liver and it shortens their life. So they are being good,parents !
RIP angel. For those who don't know, Trekkie was diagnosed with lymphoma and passed 2 years ago.
No!
ohh no :(
😢
😢😢oh noque triste 😭
OHHHH....RIP SWEET FOODIE STEALER. YOU GAVE MUCH JOY❤😺💕
I love the fact that the owner is strict enough to keep him on healthy diet. I've seen people overfeeding their cats and happily calling them chonky when its actually obese. I've watched same issues in a show about uncontrollable cat, they get the cat more active by playing more with him. Maybe it triggered by their hunting instinct.
I know it’s terrible to make the cat obese but when I see a big boy kitty I can’t resist the urge to pat their belly and say “you’re a CHOOONKKKK”
Yeah so many Americans letting their cat become obese.
@@gracey_bun and Chinese, they make cats fat on purpose for tiktok likes followers
@@me-df9re both of those countries have the highest obesity rates I am not surprised
my cat was never happy with any food we gave him but stole potato chips and cold cuts, which due to sodium content, id never give him. I wished he were fat, i love the way fat cats look, sadly.
"There's no Medical Reason for his Food Obsession - It's just his Personality"
Lol Me too
Same 💀
Hahahahahahahha
I wanted to say same but actually I think I have an eating disorder so lol😂😂😂😂 I still wanna say same though

Came here to say that my cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism after having many of these symptoms including the hyperactivity, the obsession with food, the being really skinny and I didn't see this cat being vicious but my cat would also get really feisty. There's two forms of treatment for hyperthyroidism in cats, and I chose the i-151 iodine treatment which saved her life. So if your cat is acting like the one in this video might want to check the vet & test for hyperthyroidism. 😺💗
This cat has a perfect personality for food-puzzles and trick training. He's extremely food-motivated so he would learn very fast!
So true- he could be the worlds most famous circus kitty!
I was thinking the same thing ! …”this guy could learn to drive to the store, he’s so smart “
My own cat has severe food aggression and I've taught him a few tricks because he's so motivated.
It be done by two seconds 😂

It's an arms race against this cat! I'm glad he has owners who love him for just the way he is.
Rest in peace Trekkie, you will always be remembered as the most motivated and legendary cat ❤️❤️
Wait what?!

"He's the most affectionate cat"
"Fool, affection is yet another tool I employ for the sake of my ultimate goal...yesterday's lasagna"
ikr that's how he plans his scheems: Butters mama and dad up and then once they're all convinced...BAM he shoves his face into the meatloaf lol
Lmfaooo
Garfield?
LMAO
Omg stop lol
This cat is a trainer's dream. He could easily learn the kinds of tricks filmmakers want. Make him earn his keep lol!
Hysterical
My cat is just like this! What tricks can I teach him? (He just knows to sit and to come when called) Bolognese and chicken tikka masala are surprising favorites.
@@halfassfashion a cat that sits and comes when called can probably learn to do laundry. I've never trained a cat but I'll bet you can find videos on here. I've trained pet rats and dogs and all I can say is that those that are highly motivated by food are easiest to train.
Oh my god your right
What an intrepid & smart cat My boy Chip is just like him Chip is a black domestic short hair He can open doors too
First I thought putting treats on top of the fridge was enough. Nope. Chip climbed up there and knocked the treat bag to his brother Calvin. I came home to the ripped apart treat bag with opened sacks of cat treats. Occassionally I give the kitties some human food but they get the best cat food! Good dry cat food. Treats. Plus they get cans or pouches of Tiki Cat & Weruva. Have you seen Weruva BFF or Cats in the Kitchen wet food? It’s better quality than a lot of human food. It’s far better than most frozen t.v. Dinners.
Now when I cook or eat Chip thinks he’s slick. He grabs at stuff too, which can be dangerous. Plus you have to make sure they don’t eat toxic foods like chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions & garlic. Just the other night I went to get a napkin and Chip stole a meatball from my spaghetti and meatballs. He grabbed it and was running away. He was livid when I caught him and took it away from him but it has onions in it. Him having a big meatball in his mouth is like us trying to hold a grapefruit in our mouths. He did the same thing with half a spring role which is just cabbage, carrots & rice noodles. He has incredible sense of smell too. He knows if leftovers one of the foods hes likes has been thrown in the trash. He dug up part of a spring roll I threw out from the garbage. Chip and Calvin are both smart, affectionate & loyal cats which I am grateful for. They are freaking naughty boys to the nth degree though. You can’t help but laugh.
So please make sure you are careful with certain foods and your cats. Make sure they aren’t near hot liquids or foods. Also we need to empty those shelters! Adopt and save a life! Our cats and dogs can even help with your wellness. There is a reason we have them as support pets. We might save them but they can save us every day!
🐱+🐶 RULE!
That is one SMART cat! His problem solving ability is awesome. Hard to live with at times, maybe, but awesome. I have a smart cat but she is not at his level. Rest in peace Trekkie. There may never be another cat like you!
I've never seen a cat so greedy. I love him
Looks to me you guys have a real life “Garfield” on your hands to deal with. 😂
I was thinking they should rename him Garfield.
🤣🤣🤣😍
@@BlazinRiver1 That would be hilarious if they changed the name to Garfield. He definitely fits the profile.
The poor cat is living of kibble, I can see why he is food crazy
I bet he'd go for lasagna 😻😏
Because his ear is clipped, that means he was a stray and the city fixed him and clipped the ear and then released him. That means he's been living on his own as a scavenger for years. That's why he goes for the food.
Was thinking that, too! It makes sense, poor guy.
Yes. I have a cat that only lived five months of his life on the streets but his habits have never left him. He’s inhales his food and then attempts to bury his bowl by flipping it or digging up my carpet 🤬 God love him though sweet boy ❤️
Good observation! I think they neuter them also to control population when they catch them. That means he is even more food motivated.
i thought that at first too, but if you look closely, it isn't clipped. the tip of that ear is just flopping down. it's interesting though, because i've never seen a cat with an ear like that
@@charitylenny9595 doesn’t matter. Cats are instinctual animals. Once their brain is hard wired for that it would take Jesus to undo 😂😂 I am probably the bougiest cat mom ever and my boy ain’t changing. 5 months living on the streets and he is a food MONGREL. Wants to bury and hide every time. And for four years he’s known he gets two meals like clockwork daily.
He’s so handsome.
I rescued a stray Siamese boy who was this food obsessed and could open packages. I had essentially "raccoon proofed" my kitchen. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who had to constantly come up with new ways to keep a cat out of food!

Trekkie is sooo lucky he has such tolerant humans who go the extra mile to make sure he is safe and isn't eating himself into a coma. That looks like a lot of work. I'm glad his humans feel like he's worth it.
I would have rehomed him immediately. This isn't cool or funny or tolerable in the least. Cat people do too much to excuse the useless creatures.
@@ciscornBIG Then it's lucky you aren't Trekkie's human. It's entirely possible that he was starved at an early age and has issues regarding food because of it. If they can't train him out of it and you think "rehoming" is the best thing a person could do in the situation, then poor Trekkie would likely end up euthanized if it was left up to you. If someone is willing to work around his behavior and love him despite his issues and it's not personally affecting you in a negative way, maybe you should just be grateful that there are people out there that are willing to love a difficult cat and NOT criticize those same people. I don't know that I could handle a cat like Trekkie, myself. But I'm super appreciative of the people who can.
@@ciscornBIG And you must never have had a cat in your life if you think they're useless.
@@ciscornBIG And, if you don't like cats, why are you even watching cat videos? You would think you'd be more inclined to avoid them.
@@ciscornBIG Sounds like you're self projecting on a defenseless animal.
My Maine Coon cat loved a Big Mac, and he became an expert at opening the box it came in. He gobbled it down like a pro!
He is absolutely adorable and he's found the perfect parents to love him.
My family literally had a cat just like this when I was a baby. I’ve heard the tales of this foodie cat in my family
I HATE people that HATE other people. The comment I respond to did not spread HATE. That is good. BUT! I get a lot of HATE comments on my amazing videos and I HATE it. Please don't start spreading HATE. Do I have to HATE you too, dear bu
@@AxxLAfriku are you ok?
Axxl is an attentionseeker... no hate just the truth. 😂😂😂😂
Yes i have the same cat a few years ago. He is sooo mad about food
@@kenty1 🤣🤣🤣
Tbh if he was a rescue/adopted he probably didn’t get to eat a lot and now he’s learned the “gotta eat everything I see”, hence why he’s so smart with containers, probably had to scavenge a lot (stray animals often learn to do this), if he wasn’t a stray he’s probably just very smart and greedy
Omg yes! I've seen this happen with humans as well..
exactly! and you can tell by his build that he's the exact weight he's supposed to be. he has plenty of meat on those bones
My second cat is a rescue and she's obsessed with water. She has calmed down a bit after 2 years but still darts when she listens to the dog drinking water. Seriously that cat's piss is almost as clear as water from how much she drinks
@@blitz-o-byte Perhaps your cat has some problems? not a normal behaviour on a cat, just take her to a vet
@@paulop.7421 It could be diabetes when they drink a lot of water. I found one of mine was peeing more than the others. She was also drinking lots of water. Took her to the vet and she had diabetes. That's no fun to deal with if you get that diagnosis from the vet. You're testing them and feeding them on a strict diet. Your life is theirs..
I had a cat named Cricket, who I took in with all his litter mates when he was 2 wks old. He was exactly like this. Best cat I ever had. Loved baked goods!
Trekkie must have been a foodie all his life in his last birth and is now incarnated as a cat so the trait continues albeit in a different way! I think it’s give in or give up whichever way Trekkie has a way out! Appreciate his innovative mind!❤❤
This cat was a dog in a previous life, and he’s using all the abilities he wished he had.
not all dogs are energetic. the cat has a peresonality all cats are diff and they are not like dogs bc dogs are also different ahaeheahehaehaeh
Raccoon
Cats can be like dogs-
@kst kst maybe its a stray, dont talk without thinking
@kst kst a raccoon is a wild animal👍👍😃
That is one clever, determined , and entertaining cat. Don’t know how you keep him off hot stove tops, but assume you’ve worked out an acceptable arrangement with him on that front.
Trekkie does not seem the type to stick to any negotiations! 😂
@Nathan Taffijn, gingers are different. They are as mad as a box of frogs. Also, he is a cat not a dog, his terms his rules he wants food regardless where it is he must have it. This is food obsession
.
I wouldn't want to accept food spread everywhere all over in my whole house or clean after my pet every 5 mins.
If you provide the cat with more than enough food in a separate room (and ONLY in the separate room), the cat should be fine.
Even cats need some rules.
Why do so many people defer to cats' tantrums? Guys, it is YOUR flat not the cat's.
@@opentolerance HaHa. "Mad as a box of frogs" Great expression. And, l totally agree gingers are different, they're my absolute favourites.
@@itsok1823 Something tells me you don't have a cat, they are not dogs. You can train them only so far and that's why they are wonderful because they have a mind of their own. Try feeding a finicky cat. >^..^
the owners are doing their best without yelling at him or abusing him. way to go !!!!
It is these orange and white cats that always seem to have a few bolts loose, if not missing, lol! That's why I love them!
Those people deserve an award in patience because I would never be able to tolerate that. He’s very lucky to have his humans.
Id be pissed and annoyed as well... I'd be like I just fed your hungry behind
@@nolitimere11 Maybe stop assuming that they didn't do that. He could also be stray, which might be time where he didn't have much food, so it's reason why he is like this.
He truly is lucky to have humans like this, who seems like they are taking care of him. Some other people would just put him away as this is very annoying, even though maybe not this cat's fault.
@@nolitimere11 do you know the owners for this background information, or are you just assuming?
Honestly, his owners encourage his behavior. They are clearly more amused than annoyed so it's no wonder there has never been any change.
@@Danisachan exactly I would never ! Tolerate this why is he able to climb by the stove what if it was on ! Then be would of been burned
When my ginger began acting this way, we had him tested for diabetes. He was on insulin for 10 years before he passed at the age of 17. I still miss him everyday.
Or, could be hyperthyroidism.
You are a good cat parent and I’m sorry for your loss, I’m sure he’s chilling at Rainbow Bridge right now with all the other fur babies, where the weather is always perfect for sunbathing and the bowl is always full while he waits for you 💙🐱💙
I'm sure he's been tested more than likely he's been through every test because you can tell they love their cat with all of their heart and would do anything for him so more than likely he has been tested.
My cat had a thyroid condition and she was slowly starving to death, even though she was on medication, they lose weight rapidly, but he doesn't look like he's losing weight. Unfortunately, he did pass away from a condition, and it was because of the reason he ate so much, I feel so sad for this cat and his family.
Glad you got him on medication, and he had a long life
My Miss Kitty developed feline peritonitis, and there was nothing to be done. I miss her everyday, too.😿
LOVE HIM!
This cat is my spirit animal.
My cat is also food motivated and I’ve taught her all types of tricks and puzzles!! It’s amazing what they will do just for some treats.
They probably starve this cat to make videos
@@Oreosmilkshake hey skidmark, watch the end of the video.
@@Oreosmilkshake no!!!
Because you care about your cat you help her to keep her brain stimulated in a safe manner that will not get her burnt by the stove/oven and not have her hurting or fighting humans for their plate. You clearly care about your cat and her welfare , safety, happiness and treat her well. These people aren't helping this cat, it's just entertaining for the humans and it's teaching bad social skills.
The reason he’s so obsessed with food is because he has food insecurity. Based on his tipped ear it’s probably fair to say he was a feral/outdoor cat at some point in his life. Sadly most feral/outdoor cats don’t usually get fed enough or have to compete with other cats or animals for food. Having to compete for food can cause some cats to develop food insecurity, where they feel a manic need to eat anything and everything because they’re scared It’ll be taken away, or they won’t get enough.
I'm so glad someone acknowledged this in a response. My family has a dog like this who was a stray at one time. It's cute, but there's a PTSD in it, a desperation. He's also thin. They're saying, " No reason for him to act this way." I'm assuming they've tested for hyperthyroidism...
That's what I was thinking too. I was just too stoned to type it all out
i would feed the poor kitteh then, until it was semi fat, i live with a cat here, he is a little fat, but i think thats ok! i'd rather have an animal thats small bit overweight, then underweight!
Yeah this couple definitely has no idea (or are in denial) that this cat needs some behavioral help. He must feel stressed all the time due to this food obsession and they are just playing it for jokes, or not even trying to properly stop him. This video was not funny, it was sad.
Exactly! The cat will hurt themselves if they don't get trained ASAP. It's not funny.
RIP Lil man 🧡🧡🧡 You brought light, love and laughter to not only your wonderful family but so many across the world ❤ You're very missed ❤ Sleep well xoxo

This cat died. Had cancer. The overactive appetite was a symptom. The video opens by saying there was medical reason to explain his appetite, but in fact there was, and the owners should have gotten him checked out.
@@gypsyauh2o you really dumped this firetruck on us huh
Even though he's obsessed with food, he seems to be very active and fit :D
It’s because the cat had lymphoma and died from it (they had a tiktok account for him and announced it there). Either they lied or the vet missed it.
@TowelRanger or he may have been a stray before adoption
He’s smart, resourceful and a go getter. ❤❤❤
From the clipped ear, I imagine he was once on the streets. All of my cats are rescues. Some never forget having been hungry.
I saw this and thought the same, given he had cancer some types can cause increased hunger too especially if he had brain tumors.
I was thinking the same thing. Poor kitty had to fight to survive.
I was told that was something shelters do to mark the cat as having been neutered. My cat has the same clipped ear.
Claycat4 not necessarily, our cat Jojo was definitely not a rescue and got his ass kicked by the neighbour's cat and wound up with a clipped ear from that fight. Maybe the same happened to Trekkie?
We have a cat that was found abandoned. He loves bread and cheese it's for some reason. But he isn't as bad as the cat in the video
"Well, this is not how you refill a feeder, Greg!"
It is according to Trekkie 😂
Hahahaha

It's really sad that he passed away. My cat had a thyroid condition and she was slowly starving to death over time. Even though she was on medication, she lost weight rapidly and was hungry. All of the time, it was horrible, she went through a lot before she died and I had to put her down, which absolutely destroyed me because that was my little girl, but more than likely these people knew so we just don't know because it was a 3 minute video, if they knew or not, but they probably did. I feel so sad for the cat.

He was loved and still is! I hope T is eating all the food in the sky! 💔
Shows you how smart cats are. Ingenius when they need to be.
i had a foster just like this. got into literally everything. when i picked him up from the shelter he had every parasite imaginable. no matter how much he ate he never felt full. he had a lot of trauma around food we had to work with. so it's not their fault. no matter how much i you feed them they're just scared of starving again
😭 I hope your foster is happy and healthy now!
This cat was sick it had cancer and died.
@@winning3329 wow
I don't think it has so much to do with them being strays all the time, some cats just have this personality. My niece had a kitty named Pinky that she got from her uncle when his cat had kittens, so the cat was raised by my niece as soon as she was able to leave her mom and the cat was exactly like this. She would eat anything lol. My niece loves hot cheetos and would see the kitty getting into brand new bags of hot cheetos lol and ate them even though they were spicy. One time I was eating prickly pears at her house and Pinky stole half of one lol. Some cats are just food-obsessed!
I also keep a few street cats but none behave so gluttony
I think this cat could be a former feral who didn’t used to know where his next meal was coming from! That’s what his ear makes me think, that he came out of a feral colony.
Same. I've seen many strays with tipped ears around the apartments I used to work at. Most of them were such sweethearts
That's right, when they catch and spay or neuter a feral cat, they snip off the tip of their ear so they don't have to go through all that process again. I think you are exactly right. He's been through starvation and now is stuck on "FIND FOOD" mode. I had a rescue dog like that. It happens to people too. Periods of severe malnutrition can get people stuck in 'find food' mode. If you feed kids junk food with nothing but empty calories, it happens to them too. It's sad this issue isn't recognized as a real and serious issue.

It seems that the owners are enabling their cat’s behavior. What has always worked without fail is a spray bottle with water and a little vinegar. Consistency is the key.
Actually the cat had cancer in it's stomach and eating was the only way to soothe it. He died a horrible death.

Ahh that’s what I was thinking😂 they need to see this video!!
Food obsession in cats can happen for several reasons. It’s NOT because of their personality. Usually it’s because they didn’t have access to enough food while very young. The cure is to always leave food out in their bowl. They will over eat at first, but when it hits them they won’t be going hungry, they will eat normally. I rescued two cats with this issue.
This cats owners are causing his obsession with that limited cat feeder.
@@pennylane4471 No they didn't. Even with feral cats, the only way to "re-train" them is getting them used to scheduled meals (with plenty of food available each time you feed), supplementing the food with extra nutrients and probiotics; exercise and occupying them plenty and potentially pheremone therapy. Our cats also have access to kibble at all times and eat when they feel like it, but this doesn't work for all cats and some might get obese. It's also an idea to regulate the hunger though in the first few weeks, if the scheduled feeding doesn't work. ADDITION: I just read he had cancer which is another reason to explain excessive hunger!
2:30 Look at his face! 🤣🤣🤣
Adorable, thanks!

Me too, our cat jumped onto our cooktop when it was still hot. Luckily she was ok, but we are now diligent of putting a lid over the hot burner until it cools off. She has never jumped up there again, but just in case. I’m sure they lock him up when they are boiling things.
@@shelliecornatzer i mean, i doubt it... but odds are the cat just wouldnt do that. the boiling water and the hot steam would likely be all the warning the cat would need... always a risk though i suppose.

@@shelliecornatzer Put double sided tape on the edge of counters or tin foil. It looks really tacky but I promise its a foolproof cat repellent. Got my cat to stop climbing on my expensive desk chair by doing it
Yeah that was my thought throughout the video, was the risk of harm to both cat & human seemed extremely high, ie a pot of something hot being pulled off a stove, or just a heavy pot or pan in general, jumping on a hot burner etc... getting into food that could be harmful...I love the Dodo but I didn't find this video enjoyable, or positive.
I feel bad for the pet parents bc people accused them of not feeding Trekkie bc he is very food motivated. He was obviously a stray due to the ear being clipped. He had to fight to get his next meal. Not knowing if he will eat. That can exacerbated him already being a food motivated cat. He hasn't realized yet that he doesn't need to struggle finding food anymore 🥺 the past helps shape your behavior in the future. He's such a cutie. I'm glad he found a set of parents who understand him and don't get too upset at Trekkies antics.
Wow this is what he learned by himself, very smart cat
I'm helping stray cats a lot of times and sadly this is exactly their behaviour (most of them), maybe this cat was a stray before..
Glad now he's living with such a loving family❤️💕
That's what I thought too.
I thought so too and this made me laugh so much that I went to the linked account. He had cancer and passed away😪
@@LindaC616 really? That's soo sad😭😭
@@lenziany I know! I wanted to see more of him because he was so funny and now I'm just sad
So sad 😭 Yes I had a cat with this behaviour too, he had been living outdoors for some years not knowing where his next meal was coming from before he came to live with us, but he was the most loving kitty I’ve ever known.
This is so dangerous at the same time of cute determination...
I have seven cats and tbe baby just learned to climb the garbage can to the counter by the stove ! Too young for counter ! Too dumb too know hot ! I usually had the counter as a last milestone !
I agree with some other comments here. He is in distress and doesn't have security to know that food will always be there.
They need to work on this, so that he doesn't hurt himself.
This is a super smart cat, he loves to eat which is very good, means he is healthy, love each animal no matter their personality.
This is one of the hard parts of having an intelligent cat. Those little food puzzles are a godsend. They help entertain that curiosity and they involve food. It's a win win. One of my cats has a lot of energy and they are great for her.
I named my cat "engineer". He learns to open everything on his own: doors (even the slide door), kitchen cabinet, etc. Now even the AC, he would just go there and explore things inside using his feet. Luckily it was always in my sight so no big worry.
Now im thinking of a cat with tf2 engineer voice lines
May be he knows how to use a gun
@@Sleepy_Cabbage Team Felines 2
Nice
id be mad too if i was named engineer 😂
Love him the way he is, absolutely awesome
I can't help but admire his determination
"if you try not to give him the food you'll bleed"
sounds like me 😈
Same if the wait at McDonald's is long for my 4 peice chicken nuggets imma throw hands 😌👋
@@ozybloak459, I get the 20 piece & count them. If even one is missing, chaos will ensue. I don’t play when it comes to my Chicken Nuggets & they better come through with that BBQ Sauce.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHH So quirky
@@Vampwars Alright but the feeling when they accidentally give you 1 or 2 extra nuggets is just 😩👌
@@reminiscent287 truee
I just love that line: “There’s no medical reason for his food obsession” lmao. Like it’s an mental illness 😂
In the end there actually was… :( he past away. Cancer got him
@@AdriCr4ft explain please? Like can u show where u got that from?
@@omarabazid5625 if you go to the owners tiktok theres a vid saying trekkie passed from cancer
It could be
..
@@kiha_raph4748 yup that’s why he was so hungry all the time bless him.
It was taking all his nutrients
Most mischievous yet sweetest cat…sounds like a ginger alright
WOW 😱
HES OBSESSED
My My My 🤦🏾♀️
Thank You 🙏🏽 4 sharing…
Stay Blessed Always
🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️‼️
We have one like that. He gets into EVERYTHING and drives us half crazy, but he's also the SWEETEST, most AFFECTIONATE cat I've ever met in my life, so it's impossible to stay upset with him. I think he knows that and uses it to his advantage, but I have no proof. 🥰😻
Me, who sort-of eats like this cat: 'Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!'
Devin, 😆 LOL!! Your comment is too adorable!
The owners of the cat are like the justice system in New York State and NYC !! WEAK !! Oh like h😊w he steals !! how he breaks laws !! Aww so cute 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That cat is hilarious.
"Improvise, Adapt, Overcome"
-Cat (probably)
WOW *TURBO* (grunt)
Trekkie is too smart for his own good. Surprised he's not over weight but he looks great
Was too smart. He dies recently from cancer
@@Brittanydiva12 wtf for real?
@@Brittanydiva12 no way really ?
@@shirsendumaiti5682 yea sadly, they tried chemotherapy but his cancer didn’t react to it.
@@kirbylilie yea
It's funny at how their attemts to keep their cat out of things is only making the cat more determined and smarter.
R.I.P. Sweet❤Kitty,
No hunger in Heaven!!
[ Seriously tho, I think that he was *probably so mentally anxious & stressed* that he could have benefited from medication. Once you stop laughing, you start to wonder about his *quality of life*...
Sweet Trekkie, Gone,
but not forgotten!! ]
Love how he tried To spin open that strapped pot, smart he is.
"welcome to the impossible mission force. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to retrieve food from every container in the house."
Trekkie: "you need to rethink your definition of 'impossible'." (Burp)
What an amazing personality you are incredibly lucky and u lucky at the same time 😹 he’s definitely one of a kind!
Mine also manages to open Tupperware… they are all natural and cute thiefs 🤔
Was he starved as a kitten? I rescued a kitten who was malnourished and starved. She is letting go of food obsessed behavior bit by bit as she grows in security. My brother had a dog with a very similar story,
My cat was like that. Born on the streets and despite being tiny and thin she had a phase where she'd eat her own weight in ham. It was cooked ham that set her off. Wore off after a few months. This one seems to be a bit more extreme case.
It could be that he's just more sensitive to hunger than other cats and he's got getting the food be needs(raw meat) as an obligate carnivore.
He had cancer and died
Maybe hyperthyroidism? Very common in cats.
@@rexrad9735 true but the Vet can take care of that with a daily prescription.
RIP Trekkie. I hope there's an all-you-can-eat buffet in kitty heaven (and in human heaven too, if I'm honest) ❤ 🌈
He's dead?!
That cat is a real character! I have one that is like that when smells grated cheeze & will do anything to eat some. Silly cats!
OMG, He is awesome, what a beautiful and smart and I mean smart cat 🐈....
We had a cat like this, his name was Jerry. We rescued him from someone's basement. He only ate what he scavenged and he got fed a little dry food once a day is what we found out. He always acted like he was starving, I believe he was terrified of not having enough food on a regular basis. The poor thing...we always kept his food dish full so that he never had to worry about that again. He's since passed away, and we miss him terribly. 😢 This cat here is little more obsessed than Jerry was though. Lol
I’m sorry for your loss, at least Jerry knew what a good and loving family was before he passed. I’m sure he’s chilling at Rainbow Bridge with all the other beloved animal friends right now until you can join him then cross together.
Blessed be 💙🐱💙
@@LadyLeomon Thank you for your kind reply to my comment. We always say we're thrilled that he was able to live a long happy life with us. We have two acres in the country and everyone in the neighborhood just adored Jerry. He was a lovable character. Thank you and God bless you.
I thought the same thing...this cat suffers from food insecurity fear. He must have been starved previously : ( That is why he attacks food and gets whatever he can. Bless this family for taking him in but it's not a laughing matter. He's scared of not eating.
I wish you the best
Jerry would be proud😭😭
what's interesting is that he doesn't seem to be overweight despite being food crazy. His clipped ear also indicate being a former stray and would explain his behavior.
Since they prevent him from getting a lot it’s like his effort to get the food is so much of a workout that he burns all the calories lmao
@@bobograndman I've seen the specs on a cat feeder like that one; about a half cup is the smallest dump they will set for, unless you load it individually for each feeding. And our "Lady of the Voice" said the feeder feeds five times a day- that would be two and a half cups of cat food. I would suspect Trekkie and his buddy are both from feral backgrounds- the second cat looked to be a binge eater too. And not skinny either. Looked like they got just the sort of home to flourish in! FR
parasites will keep anyone lean,lol
My cat eats everything if she gets the chance. We feed her every 2-3 hours. She still loses weight shes diabetic
He had cancer.
