Hi amanda, a little note on simba. Never spray him with water, it will cause a bad reaction from him as he gets used to you. I have cats and tried this and noticed it affected their behaviour towards me. Maybe get him a massive cat tree he can perch on. You can also get ones that stick to the windows because cats love sitting and sleeping in the sunshine!. I hope that helps, much love sister!. 🙏
second at least one cat tower for Simba. If you want to know how to get Simba to do the things you'd prefer him to do, Jackson Galaxy here on UA-cam has excellent advice about cats. Also, anywhere Simba is scratching, put a scratching post or similar in the direction he is scratching (vertical or horizontal). My youngest cat is a massive scratcher and we got him a tower and have 3 scratching trees/boxes that we put near where he scratches - it has made a huge difference.
You seem a bit overwhelmed/tired in this one, which is completely understandable given the huge transition in your life. Sending you light and love, hope you find your rhythm soon.
I moved away from home 3.5 years ago and moving 5 hours away from my nephew was the absolute hardest most heart breaking thing I have ever done. I hope the transition is going well for you and you are doing okay. I’m so excited for your new chapter!
Hi cat lover here who has stopped her cat from getting onto the kitchen counter. 1. Everytime Simba gets on the counter just firmly say NO and take him down (obviously gently). You can also tap their nose and say NO..took me a few months of this. 2. I let my cat actually have a little bit of counter space she knows is now the only bit she can go on. This is away from all the spaces I use and it is the bit with the window which she likes. 3. I've not tried this but others have and it's 100% better than spray bottle, many put kitchen foil on all the spaces they don't want the cat to jump on. Remove kitchen foil eventually when he stops jumping onto those spaces. 4. Cats do like high spaces and jumping so might be good to get him his own things like a big high cat tree that he can climb. 5. He needs his own stratching posts, a few around the house and eventually he will stop scratching your furniture. Please makesure he is neutered before you let him out. He is safer at home though if I'm honest.
You can try a citrus scented spray on the counter tops to deter Simba from climbing on it, you can also use citrus spray on the armchairs in your room to stop Simba scratching those. Spraying his scratching post with catnip will encourage him to use that instead
I was in Positano last summer. One piece of advice, if you stay in a place up near the top of the cliffs, be prepared to for a long, steep climb back and forth from the village/main road below. The views are great at the top, but we were literally sweating buckets and panting so hard from our 20 minute climb to the Airbnb we stayed at.
Sounds like the most beautiful honeymoon! And such a wonderful(less crowded) time of year! HIGHLY recommend doing some sort of semi private sunset sail/cruise in santorini. It’s such an amazing way to see the whole island and volcano and the crews make the most DELICIOUS simple Greek meal, it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had, to this day. You can usually book through your hotel when you get to the island. 🤗
Girl I’m so happy for you mA it just hits different when you’re officially a wifey now and it’s the “Mohammed came home so I made him avo 🥑 toast” FOR ME 😍🫶🏼
Excited for you on this new milestone and love the specious fresh minimal aesthetic decor you are choosing. Enjoy decorating , also for you Simba; maybe try plug ins like felo way , which relieves feline anxiousness, often when moving into a new home, the scents can calm them xx
i see that some people already suggested it, But for simba, it really is a good idea to get him a cat tree. and even put catnip on it so he will go on it rather than the counter/furniture.
I absolutely enjoy your vlogs! I love how you’re already settled in! I love couples that cook together! Simba is too cute! Have a safe and an amazing honeymoon!
I have an orange tabby as well. It's hard to keep cats off surfaces as they like to climb on things (and don't like to listen lol.) I agree with the comment about the cat tree, cats love those and if he has his own space, he may be less likely to climb on other surfaces.
I can’t get my cats off the counter either! I have a huge cat tree, doesn’t help…my friend recommended tape and putting it sticky side up around the edges for a bit, haven’t tried yet but may give it a shot
Don’t have experience with cats but my instinct says that if you but something sticky all over the counter (same color) that would shock Simba and he’ll avoid the counter
If your yard isn't fenced please don't let your cat out. You can get a harness/collar and a leash and walk with the cat outside. So many cats get hit by cars or lost 💔
True, but what about their quality of life? Serious question. Sure we would all live longer (wouldn't get in car accidents, etc) if we stayed in the house, but what kind of life is that?
My first ever comment hope you read this one. Hi Ate Amanda♥️ Mubarak on your new journey/chapter of your life. Congratulations and Allah bless! Love, from Philippines🇵🇭
I could never hav a pet in my house as thy make too mucb mess and im scardd of them!!! Also I would never get a white bed & white bed covers/ chairs as they get dirty quick! I dont mind if the bedding has white with other colours with it. Enjoy ur family tym & stay strong!!! Xxx
hehe I have two orange cats and they basically make up their own rules. Simba seems so similar to my two little guys. I try all of the things to get them off the counter and stop scratching the couch but they do it anyways 😭 but I love them so much soooo I'm just like - you win. The things we do for them! haha. If you find something that works definitely let us know!
Loved this! This may be an annoying request but is there anyway that one could see the wedding footage from your Instagram saved story on UA-cam? I don’t have Instagram but I really wanted to see how the wedding turned out. If not that’s understandable 🥹🙏🏾
I drink a lot of loose leaf tea, and I have infusers and infuser mugs. The Kati mugs from TeaForte are great, and for a bit bigger one, I have a 16 oz mug from Harney Tea. (I am obsessed with loose leaf teas)

@@AmandaAsad Definitely worth a try! Just a heads up that it will startle you too every time you walk past it haha. But after awhile you can turn it off but still keep it there so he can still see it until he forgets about jumping on the counter.
Hi, it's maybe a random request but I'm studying Biomedical Engineering (interested in the field of rehabilitation and medical devices) .. Is it possible that your husband shares his story of his career? And also congrats on getting married, love your new home
Cats hate tin foil. We put some on our counters - they jumped up and then RAN away, and never tried it again! (You can take the tin foil off after that haha) Maybe that will work for Simba!
Heyyyy Amanda, love your channel and ALWAYS look forward to your content. Can we have 2 separate honeymoon vlogs pls? It means we will get to see you twice and not just the once, hehehe 🤭🥰😍🤗
Salam Amanda, congratulations on your marriage. You should visit Nicki Positano. She lives in Positano. She’s also a UA-camr. Her home is breathtaking and serene.

Absolutely recommend the stick on window hammock. Do not spray, that’s for dogs.

Our cat loves his cat tower and sitting by the window in the sunshine! I think cats in general love sitting in an elevated platform
He just wants to go outside and chase the birds. That’s they’re nature. The sound of plastic bags usually deter cats, maybe it’s too late to try that.

Early squad. Where you at?

It’s been a while since I watched your videos. Congratulations on your marriage and cheers to many more!
I'm glad you're settling in so nicely! Have so much fun on your honeymoon!
I absolutely enjoy your vlogs! I love how you’re already settled in! I love couples that cook together! Simba is too cute! Have a safe and an amazing honeymoon!
Hi Amanda, u can put a tablecloth on the dinning table so it'll look more put together

First Vlog since you & your Partner start to have some sweet happy to be married company in front of your hands & nose!
You dont know how much I’m really happy for you Amanda 🥰💕! May everything goes well together inshallah❤️
Santorini is majical
I’ve been there twice
The beaches are the best
Enjoy
Hey, thanks for sharing, I would suggest you get Simba scratch sitting pole x
Is there are a reason why you drink sage tea every night? What is it good for? 😊
Don’t have experience with cats but my instinct says that if you but something sticky all over the counter (same color) that would shock Simba and he’ll avoid the counter
Amanda maybe you should try getting your cat a special bed like little fluffy cushion with some toys maybe then he will get used to it.
He has all the beds, cat trees, and hammocks 😭😭😭
Italian streets are often dirty, so consider that when packing and maybe Opt for black shoes?
Enjoy your time Amanda! Such a sweet girl! May Allah bless your marriage!❤
Hi amanda my daughter went on a crise for her honeymoon in the greek islads and covered italy every wgere it was 4 weeks
She said it was marvalos
Amanda ur Vlogs gives me nostalgic feeling of leena's old vlogs ..Happy married life ❤ u guys

Why have a cat if you’re going to open the door for it to just leave?
Let the cat out during the day! Close them up at night
@@HK-cp8tm what if they ding have a fence
My first ever comment hope you read this one. Hi Ate Amanda♥️ Mubarak on your new journey/chapter of your life. Congratulations and Allah bless! Love, from Philippines🇵🇭
You will never win against a cat so just give up already. They are the MOST stubborn cuties ever 😂

There's a great UA-cam channel based in Positano, called Positano Diaries
Please Please also post a video of your wedding.🙂🙂🙂
Love you so much beautiful vlog as usual 🥰😘❣️
Mashallah. Awesome video. I hope you will have a happy life with your husband in shaa Allah. 💖💖💖🇪🇬💖🇵🇸.
Best advice for the cat is just give up 🙊
Lol best advice I’ve gotten 😂
🤣
I agree I could never handle it repeatedly climbing on the counter where I'm working or following me in every room 🙈
I drink a lot of loose leaf tea, and I have infusers and infuser mugs. The Kati mugs from TeaForte are great, and for a bit bigger one, I have a 16 oz mug from Harney Tea. (I am obsessed with loose leaf teas)
I’ll have to check these out! Thank you!!

Where are the dining chairs from? link doesn't work
sssscat airspray!! Only thing that worked for me. I only needed to use it for 1 week and the cats don't associate it with you but with the action.
I just saw this on tiktok!!
@@AmandaAsad Definitely worth a try! Just a heads up that it will startle you too every time you walk past it haha. But after awhile you can turn it off but still keep it there so he can still see it until he forgets about jumping on the counter.
May Allah (swt) bless your marriage ❤️
Love from Philippines ❤️❤️
"Going home" girl thats not your home anymore 😂😂

which nikes are those!?
I clap really loud and my cat jumps off
Love Positano Diaries! It would be amazing if you guys bumped into Nicki & Carlo; hello everywhere!!!
Cats hate tin foil. We put some on our counters - they jumped up and then RAN away, and never tried it again! (You can take the tin foil off after that haha) Maybe that will work for Simba!
I believe she said she's tried that as well :'(
Buy Simba a big cat tree with a tall platform, put it near the window and InshAllah he will favor that
Mashallah the cat haha adorable
