Was the cat fixing to call an ambulance for you if you needed it? You are aware that as soon as you die and that cat notices that you're dead the cat will start eating you? Dogs on the other hand will wait till they're dying of starvation IF they'll even do it. Cat? Naw that mf'er is waiting for you to stop breathing so it can start eating you.

Mine does the same, she'll lay in the hallway where she has all bedrooms covered and can see me in the living room. Sleeps with me and the wife, going between us as we turn over and disturb her spot.
Mine sleeps in the hallway and is right in the center of my apartment where all the rooms connect to each other. She can keep an eye on everything from there.
There was a stretch where i had really bad night terrors and would wake up screaming almost every night. My Tortie Lily started climbing into bed with me and when night terrors would start, she started clawing me awake before they got too bad. Good kitty.
Just to note: cats can have nightmares too. It's just we usually don't notice bc we don't watch them sleep. So I made my cat a spot to sleep in front of my computer monitor, so I could watch he sleeping while I work remotely. When she started shaking during her sleep I petted her and her shaking instantly stopped and she continued to sleep peacefully. It became her favourite spot to sleep super fast bc it was the only spot where she wouldn't have those nightmares 😢
my cat and I both have severe nightmares, and we’re on “cuddle duty” with each other- if I notice her having a nightmare, I’ll go curl up around her and hold her close (usually she wakes up, but sees it’s me, purrs, and then goes back to sleep), and if I’m not around when she wakes up from one on her own, she’ll use a very specific meow to let me know she had a bad dream and needs my comfort. and on the other side, if she notices that I’m having a nightmare, she’ll crawl into my arms so as soon as I wake up I see her and feel better. she’s just too precious
Cats, like dogs, feel more secure knowing their humans are all right. I had a cat that went deaf. Not being able to hear the bustle of her humans made her very distressed. Had they abandoned her? She started yowling loudly in the middle of the night. One look at one of us and she was back to normal.
My cat recently has gone blind & now she does something similar VERY frequently. Like she’s fine if she hears you but if it’s quiet she’ll come looking & want to touch you 😢 The poor babies.
Cats do get anxious and sympathetic about your welfare. If ever you start singing in the house, they will come and fuss around you. Its not that they appreciate your singing, but they think you are hurt and crying in pain!
My Sophie is such a tonic. She is highly intelligent. I was confined to bed ill. Sophie stayed by my side, then went to hospital had been very ill and spent 3 weeks. Since being home she has been so protective. She follows me everywhere, when cooking in the kitchen she watches over me, in the bathroom having a shower she sits next to the cubicle. She sleeps on my bed umm I sleep on her bed 😊. She is the ultimate companion.
People like to joke that cats “own” us, think of themselves as royalty, or only respect food sources, but they are actually naturally-social creatures with huge amounts of empathy. The way they act and communicate is just different than humans and I wish people understood that more. :(
I would compare dogs to be like extroverts and cats more like introverts. Just because they're more subdued in showing emotion, doesn't mean they don't love their humans.
One of my cats would follow me (without me knowing) for ~1 km, when I went to visit friends. He would then march in through their front door, come straight to me, and sit at my feet, staring at me. He didn't "check in" on me....He stalked me. His sister would turn up within 5 minutes.
My cat sometimes accompanies me or my mom, or both of us to the nearest grocery store, sits on the porch while I or my mom are shopping, and then goes back with us. We jokingly call her the cat-dog, since she waits for us like a dog would (and actually more calmly than some dogs would, she doesn't meow, and only sometimes checks on us to see if we're coming out yet 😅 She's just the sweetest
You needed to call animal control for abuse. And maybe new friends, cause if that was your boyfriend everyone would be like awe hell naw and call the 🚨🚨🚨🚓🚓 police!! That cat is abusing you!! You need space! ( Hehe, joke aside this is a fun little story )
The sweet ginger tabby from across the street stops by and "knocks" on my door to let me know he's thinking of me. I'm NOT kidding! He's one incredible feline pal! I just pray and hope that adorable and sweet cat remains safe crossing my street. 😻❤
@@aaaaaaaaooooooo He "knocks" on the door and then waits for a few minutes. I always let him in -- no matter the weather. I always have plenty of food for him. He's quite "unusual" and that's a great and sweet thing! Cheers! - Yours truly and "Charlie Ginger Tigger" 😺😸😻❤
@@k.w.9002 I pray and hope that adorable ginger cat remains safe crossing the street. My pal, "Charlie Ginger Tigger" comes right in, as well. Ginger tabbies are some of the sweetest and most-loving cats on this planet! Give him a hug from me and "Charlie Ginger Tigger." 😸😻❤
Weirdly, I don't get that. My cat pushes things off tables and desks when I'm awake, and sleeps beside me when I sleep, either by my head, or just out of reach of my feet. He seems okay with my biphasic sleep, since it's quite short intervals of about 2-3 hours (I've only needed more than 6 hours of sleep when I've been ill, I'm just a natural short sleeper). He does do a last minute zoomy before sleep though - when I lay down, he snuggles with me for a bit to get me settled into bed, then goes on a rampage for five minutes before re-joining me. After that, he's there with me through the entire sleep cycle, occasionally stirring me a bit when he gets up and swaps where he's sleeping next to me.
When I get sick, my cat Dax stays in the bed with me by my pillow. When I was asleep in the bathtub once, my cat Crookshanks meowed in my ear really loud. I think he was trying to keep me from drowning. There's no way I was going to drown, but he didn't know that. I have some really nurturing cats.
@@Kshsgdhksls I appreciate the concern, but I'm too big to drown accidentally. I have to work hard to get my head underwater in the tub. I'm safe. I promise. Thank you for the concern though!
@@kietsuhimeCant your body just adjust if your asleep and try seek a more comfortable or lower position for your head even if it means putting your legs higher? In that kind of event you would probably drown
I'm so sorry for your loss. Ino sounds like an incredible cat with a special bond with you. It's amazing how our furry friends can sense our emotions and bring us comfort. Sending you lots of love during this tough time. 💔🐾
I'm an unwell man and my cat looks after me as though she is a little nurse. We share the double bed in the guest room sometimes and she sleeps on two pillows and my head is on the other two. I kid you not- I woke up to her gently stroking my head with one paw 2 days ago. It was beautiful. We don't give cats enough credit for just how intelligent they are.
That’s so sweet. My female cat is so receptive to my emotions and health that at times she knows something is wrong before I do. She gets worried whenever I cry or am in emotional distress. I love cats so much lol.
@@lindadoughty4824 We call it "Telling ghost stories". It was a cut away scene in an animated show..Kid hiding under the covers with a flashlight "Go away, I'm reading ghost stories"
When my girlfriend tripped and fell and broke her ankle our cat literally jumped out of the top of the cat tree running to her, she just knew something bad had happened and she has done this several other times for other reasons. She is extremely protectful and often just comes aroubd to make sure you are ok.
I got one of my horrible cluster migraines when I was house sitting for my family, I was also watching our new family member and he was just a few months in. But I remember falling asleep in the sofa and covering my head trying to get relieve when I felt our new family member lay its whole body on my chest and purr. I couldn’t help but shed a tear not from pain but from how much I loved him for even noticing let alone trying to help me. Jojo is always going to have a place In my heart from that day on. A great kitty!
On Mayo Clinic site, one thing mentioned that may help prevent cluster headache/migraine is a calcium channel blocker. Magnesium is a natural calcium channel blocker.
My cat IS a god emperor. His name is Kirby but his full name is Kirben-Ra, Pharaoh of All Land the Sun’s Light Touches, Source of the Nile, Son of Bastet.
My cat, Domino, knew something was up and that there was stress and commotion in the house when I was getting ready to leave for uni. She’d check in on me when I was packing and gave me a send off. She also knew when my dog was dying. She’d head butt and snuggle up with my poor old lady when she clearly had only a few more days in her. Cats can be incredibly intuitive, much like dogs.
My two cats growing up would search and "capture" anyone who was in bed sick and stay with them. One year, Mom, Dad, and my two sisters and I had the flu and were all in our respective rooms. Those two furballs were jumping from room to room, bed to bed trying to take care of us all. It was so great.
My cat and I have enough of a bond that we can legitimately communicate. If I want him to leave a room, it’s a quick gesture and a “c’mon buddy, gotta go.” and he trots out of the room with a trill. I have also learned to understand HIS meows and gestures. He’s not Velcro, but he’s always hanging out either upstairs under my sheets or otherwise somewhere in the same room as me.
I (sadly) don't have a cat. But the four different neighbour's cats used to ALWAYS fight over which one of them gets to sit on my lap. I genuinely miss some of the kitties since they, and their providers, moved away. One of their providers still texts me to let me know how my furry friend is doing. ^_^
My cat sits where I can see her, looking sad. It's a guilt trip tactic. The moment I start walking toward her, she runs over and climbs up onto her tower and lays in her basket waiting for her scritches..
My cat could somehow tell when I’d be coming home from college for the weekend, to the point that on the times when I didn’t come home on Fridays my parents reported he would get frantic and start searching the house, especially my room.
I have maladaptive daydreaming disorder and my boy INCESSANTLY checks on me when I spend too long in it - sometimes most of the day. He meows, jumps up and pats me all over, nibbles sometimes on my arm, whines and rolls onto my body. I can get annoyed sometimes but pretty quick I just sigh and love on him in appreciation. He's a sweetheart! ❤️ Few people in my life would believe this since my boy is seen as mean, antisocial, and very intimidating. I think he's rude most of the time because he is sensitive and only has the energy to be kind if someone really needs it ❤️ That makes his kindness even more special to experience because you know he's deliberately making the choice to do it when he does! And, yes, it's usually when people seriously need emotional support. I've seen people absolutely melt and bawl their eyes out when he suddenly gets loving with them in their moments of need!
Making sure the servants are still in the house and not goofing off on the job. Because somebody has to make dinner, keep the litter box clean, provide heat or a/c as required, leave out baskets of clean laundry to nap on and shed all over.
I know someone who has a cat that predicts her headaces. He always curls around her head when she is about to get sick. We have no idea how it works but it's fascinating.
I wouldn't be surprised if the cat could smell a hormone change or hear something going on that humans don't perceive. Their senses are stronger than ours. Dogs are too and dogs can be trained to detect stuff like cancer and seizures.
Whenever I'm sick or feeling sad, they always stay by my side. I always thought only dogs were like that, but cats are super empathetic and get concerned when somethings wrong.
Pets are members of our communities/families, and i believe they pick jobs in their families. My grandma had a black cat named Pilgrim, and he decided i was his job. He was the shadow of my every step whenever i went up there to visit from the time i was about 2 years old. My dad even says he could tell the difference between when his car contained me and when it did not, as Pilgrim would come running up to the driveway only when I was in the car with him. Pilgrim kept little toddler me safe and kept me from getting lost on those 36 acres of wild woods, he would bat at me or taunt me until i wanted to play with him so i would stay away from the cliffs. I didn't even know there were cliffs until i was closer to 10, basically when i no longer had him to stop me. I like to think his ghost still checks in, and that's part of why my current cats get the random zoomies sometimes. They're just playing with Pilgrim.❤
lol. I had a cat who did this. My backyard was pretty much a catio. They have a cat door that they could go in and out through. There was a window included in the area that looked into the room I was usually in. He would quite often be seen looking in to see me. Sometimes he’d even come running in, sometimes meowing, run right to me, touch me, get a pat and then go back outside. Interestingly enough there were times you just KNEW he wanted me to follow, then sit outside and watch him doing whatever.
A few times, when my sister got sick in the middle of the night, I'd sleep out in the living room (we shared a divided bedroom) in my sleeping bag while Mom helped her multiple times in the night when I couldn't stay awake to help. Both times, I woke up in the morning and found our cats sleeping with me on the floor. I guess they were equally worried about her and understood why I was there (exhausted, didn't want to get sick, needed a quieter place to sleep) and slept with me to comfort me as well as comfort themselves, and to keep my temperature up so I could stay well. One of the cats never slept with me otherwise (though he did prefer a bigger bed and saw Mom as his mom since she found him as a stray kitten when he didn't even have his eyes open yet).
I had 2 cats, and had abdominal surgery. Both kitties got along, but one promptly decided he was my guardian and kept the other pets not just off the bed but out of the bedroom until I was up and around.
Mine do that too... straight to the shopping "what's in the bags Mum? Mum, did U get stuff for us? We know there's food in these somewhere..." they're as bad as my SON used to be - lol
I think cats in general like music that’s not too loud. My cat will come and do the squinty eyes when I listen to certain music (((she loves Glass Animals)))
When my cats are outside and I'm in the living room watching TV or playing a game, the cats will every five minutes or so jump on the window to look at me, then they want me to open the window to let them in. Then they come in, look at me, then walk right back to the door and meow to be let out, and this will go on all day until nightfall when it's time for bed. Then they don't meow at the door usually. Idk why they do that, it's very annoying having to constantly open the window, but at the end of the day I love them with all my heart, and enjoy all the time I get to spend with them. Their lives are too short, and 12 or so years aren't enough. But I will be reunited with all my loved ones in heaven, and that is the only consolation I have. Both human and animal families. Together forever, with no tears, fear, or pain. Only joy forever with the Father.
Cats feel like they should be able to get to and from wherever they want to. My cats dont go outdoors because my house is just 15 feet from a very fast road and also ATV trail, the sounds outside terrify them. But in the house if a door is closed that they think should be open they are unhappy. I don't always want my basement door open so its closed all the time. Sometimes they want thru the door but theyve learned it only opens very rarely and i guard it sometimes because i dont want them down there all the time. So they give up easily when they do want thru. Because your cats want to come in and out whenever they feel like it, if you comply with them everytime they will become even more frustrated if you don't let them in. I think its good to just accept it and love their little annoyances, but the truth is that if you don't want them to do that, it just means ignoring them sometimes so they will learn that the window isn't always going to open on their command every 5 minutes.
@makeshift_battlefield_music Yeah, I know, and I guess I should be firmer with them, but I can't help it. They have fun going outside, and we live in the country, so I just deal with it. When the mosquitoes aren't bad, I leave the windows open for them so they can mosey about at their own leisure. I used to never think I'd like cats until they all just wandered onto my property and never left, so I adopted the four of them, I felt so bad for them not having a home, that I just kept them. It's been like that my whole life, I've never had to go to a pound or shelter. Animals have always just wandered in and stayed. Before, it was dogs, and now cats. Idk what brings them here. God, I reckon, but im always happy to see them come and decide to live here. My wife is a soft ass like I am, too, and she can't turn them away either, so it works out. I'm fine with the little annoyances cause I know one day I'll miss them more than anything else.
This was on and in came Betty, right on time. She comes and checks on me every 10/15 mins. She seems to just want it to be me and her, if a cat comes to see us, she turns into a little banshee, hissing like mad. 🐱🐱❤️❤️
My cats like spiders, I live butted up to a forest and get some pretty US quarter size and up spiders. I always find them dead with the back side missing.
Cats are so smart. When I visit my parents, I give one of the neighbours' cats some dry cat food. He spends a lot of time in our garden, and we have the impression that he is not getting all the food he'd like at home. ... Anyway, freeloading cat 1 usually makes an appearance each day. A couple of days ago, freeloading cat 2 appeared, apparently hungry. She got some dry cat food, too. We assume these cats must have been talking to each other.
Cats are extremelly complicated and wierd creatures. But they love us, it is in their genetic memory that goes back to ancient Egypt! But a lot of humans just don't understand cats, for a smart species we are pretty dumb in some areas like understanding other animals!
My cat guards the bathroom door while I do my business. IDK who she's protecting me from, we live alone, but I'm thankful she understands that I'm vulnerable with my pants around my ankles. 😂
My cat tigger recently passed away i was their comforting him as he took his last breaths. I had bottle fed him and raised him for 12 years. He used to run around my house after he'd take a shit all proud and excited. Before he was an indoor cat he loved catching mice and Squirrels and also birds. A very energetic little guy. He was very calm and liked to cuddle up with me whenever I'd take a nap and sleep on my chest needing me and purring always smiling and he'd never fail to run up if he heard a bag crinkle thinking it was his cat treats. He wasn't very talkative but he was friendly he'd always brush up against strangers and purr his favorite spots to be pet was his head and belly rubs I loved my cat like a son and even tho hes gone he will always be my baby boy. I couldnt have asked for a better cat. He was always so well behaved full of life, he had curious eyes full of wonder about the world a large smile that would win anyone over and enough love to help anyone when they were down. Tigger daddy's gonna miss you so so much, i love you with all my heart buddy idk where or what happens after death buddy but one day well meet again and cuddle like the good old days....
The voice over reminds me of guy who narrated Battleblock Theater lmao Love the "Alien" reason though. Some cats are so smart, I think they really do want to understand
My one kitty will sleep with her head pressed against mine when i have migraines. The other will come in and scream at me to make sure im alive like a toddler 😂
It's gonna sound like I'm making this up but I swear I'm not. One time I was sitting at my desk playing a game on my PC with a controller and I decided to take a break to grab some water, so I placed the controller on the desk and left the room. When I returned, my cat was sitting on his hind legs in my chair with his body extended upward and he was trying to put his two front paws on the face of the controller. It may have been coincidence but he's been known to imitate things he sees me do before, actually it's pretty common, he knows how to use door knobs and handles (though sometimes they're too slick or stiff for him to use he still tries) , he'll open drawers and cabinets right after I've just closed them to try and figure out what I was doing on them, and if I leave my phone unattended he paws at the screen until he gets it to light up. Like I said, it could be coincidence, but knowing him and having seen that he's particularly intelligent and curious when it comes to human activities I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he was trying to imitate what he saw me doing with the controller that day.
My friend found a kitten. He already had other 4 adult cats. They accepted her. One day I was playing with the kitten, suddenly one of the cats rushed through the room and stopped near the kitten looking at her, being still for a bunch of seconds. Then he got away. He was checking her to be fine 😊
My cats constantly check on me. When Im sitting in the lounge room, they mill in and out of the room, eventually settling into their own spaces. When I leave the room, they leave as well.
When I am sick and start coughing my cat runs to my bed and climbs on my head and stares at me all night...it makes me laugh 😂😂😂 I started faking cough instead of calling her name.
Sometimes the protector thing goes both ways. Like if the cat can smell sickness on their human, they're more likely to check up on you and try to comfort you through it.
I am pretty confident that my cat is an alien, one that has been assigned to watch us incognito and this was the best disguise they could come up with. Have a look at your cats face from the right angle and see how much they look like the typical "grey" alien.
Lol! When our grandson was 😂4 ( at that time in a ‘dog’ family’i drew an ‘alien’ for him starting with the eyes, when I got to the ears his exasperated response was great! BTW he now has a cat!
"If you keep giving them treats and affection when they pop in, they'll keep doing it. You're essentially rewarding the behaviour". You're talking like that's a bad thing, I love attention from cats! When my family used to cat-sit a lovely cat (I may have been a tad obsessed with her), she used to pop in when we were eating dinner in the dining room. She'd come in, do a set circuit around me and under the table, and return to her living room zone. I'd also pop by to check on her when I went to get more rice from the rice cooker appliance.
We have a Ragdoll. He follows me all through the house. If I get out of his sight he comes and checks on me. I have a big furry guardian and wouldn’t have it any other way.
My cats always play lifeguard when I go to the bathroom. At least that's what I like to think. They're just making sure I don't drown in the forbidden water bowl.
My cat thinks I'm hiding snacks from him. And he's right.
My cat knows I hide snacks from him. He's a big fan of bread and bread accessories
without opposable thumbs, it's up to -humans- cat servants to open them when they desire.

My cat does do that, hahaha. He did it to me earlier when I made a video. He photo bombed it with his tail.
To be fair…you might!
AND WITH ANOTHER CAT!!!!! Or a dog, GOD FORBID!!!!
I notice my cat hangs out in strategic locations in the house that allow her to have an eye or ear on everyone in the house.
Of coarse they care about their Hooman servants, they spent a lot of time training us..
Mine does the same he likes the hallway so he can see all the doors to the rooms and look at me while I'm on my computer lol
My cat does the same.
Mine does the same, she'll lay in the hallway where she has all bedrooms covered and can see me in the living room. Sleeps with me and the wife, going between us as we turn over and disturb her spot.
Mine sleeps in the hallway and is right in the center of my apartment where all the rooms connect to each other. She can keep an eye on everything from there.
There was a stretch where i had really bad night terrors and would wake up screaming almost every night. My Tortie Lily started climbing into bed with me and when night terrors would start, she started clawing me awake before they got too bad. Good kitty.
That’s really sweet and beautiful. I had the same experience, his purring made everything okay again
Just to note: cats can have nightmares too. It's just we usually don't notice bc we don't watch them sleep. So I made my cat a spot to sleep in front of my computer monitor, so I could watch he sleeping while I work remotely. When she started shaking during her sleep I petted her and her shaking instantly stopped and she continued to sleep peacefully. It became her favourite spot to sleep super fast bc it was the only spot where she wouldn't have those nightmares 😢
my cat and I both have severe nightmares, and we’re on “cuddle duty” with each other- if I notice her having a nightmare, I’ll go curl up around her and hold her close (usually she wakes up, but sees it’s me, purrs, and then goes back to sleep), and if I’m not around when she wakes up from one on her own, she’ll use a very specific meow to let me know she had a bad dream and needs my comfort. and on the other side, if she notices that I’m having a nightmare, she’ll crawl into my arms so as soon as I wake up I see her and feel better. she’s just too precious
That is absolutely adorable 🥺@@zeykriid
So your cat knew exactly when Freddy Krueger entered your dream zone? Smart kitty.
Cats, like dogs, feel more secure knowing their humans are all right. I had a cat that went deaf. Not being able to hear the bustle of her humans made her very distressed. Had they abandoned her? She started yowling loudly in the middle of the night. One look at one of us and she was back to normal.
My cat recently has gone blind & now she does something similar VERY frequently. Like she’s fine if she hears you but if it’s quiet she’ll come looking & want to touch you 😢
The poor babies.
Sweet kitty!!
Cats do get anxious and sympathetic about your welfare. If ever you start singing in the house, they will come and fuss around you. Its not that they appreciate your singing, but they think you are hurt and crying in pain!
My Sophie is such a tonic. She is highly intelligent. I was confined to bed ill. Sophie stayed by my side, then went to hospital had been very ill and spent 3 weeks. Since being home she has been so protective. She follows me everywhere, when cooking in the kitchen she watches over me, in the bathroom having a shower she sits next to the cubicle. She sleeps on my bed umm I sleep on her bed 😊. She is the ultimate companion.
@@helenlloyd6564That's a wonderful thing.
People like to joke that cats “own” us, think of themselves as royalty, or only respect food sources, but they are actually naturally-social creatures with huge amounts of empathy. The way they act and communicate is just different than humans and I wish people understood that more. :(
Unfortunately, many humans have a mindset of domination, not empathy.
They hate cats and claim to love dogs, but they do not deserve either.
Empathy is not a word I would use for my cat. She likes to rip the legs off insects and leave them alive to suffer.
Empathy is not a word I would use to describe my cat. She likes to rip the legs off of insects and then leave the insects alive to suffer.
I fully agree with you. All the memes about cats are so ridiculous.
I would compare dogs to be like extroverts and cats more like introverts. Just because they're more subdued in showing emotion, doesn't mean they don't love their humans.
One of my cats would follow me (without me knowing) for ~1 km, when I went to visit friends. He would then march in through their front door, come straight to me, and sit at my feet, staring at me. He didn't "check in" on me....He stalked me.
His sister would turn up within 5 minutes.
terrifying. the cats must be locked in on your scent so hard to actually track you for a whole kilometer
Your cats: "OUR friends."
My cat sometimes accompanies me or my mom, or both of us to the nearest grocery store, sits on the porch while I or my mom are shopping, and then goes back with us. We jokingly call her the cat-dog, since she waits for us like a dog would (and actually more calmly than some dogs would, she doesn't meow, and only sometimes checks on us to see if we're coming out yet 😅
She's just the sweetest
You needed to call animal control for abuse. And maybe new friends, cause if that was your boyfriend everyone would be like awe hell naw and call the 🚨🚨🚨🚓🚓 police!! That cat is abusing you!! You need space! ( Hehe, joke aside this is a fun little story )
I used to let multiple cats go outside and have them follow me around the cul-de-sac..
Cat: "time to check my foodsouce"
Can I kill and eat it? No. Do I want to be petted? No. Okay, move out!
Fun fact, cat will eat you the moment you die. So yea, you ARE its food source, lol
How can anyone want what everyone recognizes as a cold psycho as a pet
@@alfatejpblind6498Because of the same reason we want cold psycho as friends: they are cute.
@@NitayaDiyana-y7x No, they won't, unless they are starving.
The sweet ginger tabby from across the street stops by and "knocks" on my door to let me know he's thinking of me. I'm NOT kidding! He's one incredible feline pal! I just pray and hope that adorable and sweet cat remains safe crossing my street. 😻❤
Does he have an owner of not can you adopt him?
Does it just knock and leave before you answer the door? Or does it wait and greet you?
@@aaaaaaaaooooooo He "knocks" on the door and then waits for a few minutes. I always let him in -- no matter the weather. I always have plenty of food for him. He's quite "unusual" and that's a great and sweet thing! Cheers! - Yours truly and "Charlie Ginger Tigger" 😺😸😻❤

Cats own humans and like to check on their pets once in a while.
How true 😅

Pretty much
Catless home: something breaks at night = burglar
Cat home: the night is silent = something's wrong with the cat
Weirdly, I don't get that. My cat pushes things off tables and desks when I'm awake, and sleeps beside me when I sleep, either by my head, or just out of reach of my feet. He seems okay with my biphasic sleep, since it's quite short intervals of about 2-3 hours (I've only needed more than 6 hours of sleep when I've been ill, I'm just a natural short sleeper). He does do a last minute zoomy before sleep though - when I lay down, he snuggles with me for a bit to get me settled into bed, then goes on a rampage for five minutes before re-joining me. After that, he's there with me through the entire sleep cycle, occasionally stirring me a bit when he gets up and swaps where he's sleeping next to me.
When I get sick, my cat Dax stays in the bed with me by my pillow. When I was asleep in the bathtub once, my cat Crookshanks meowed in my ear really loud. I think he was trying to keep me from drowning. There's no way I was going to drown, but he didn't know that. I have some really nurturing cats.
It's possible to drown in a puddle, so be careful
Ditto! Please be careful, you can drown in about 30cm of water
@@Kshsgdhksls I appreciate the concern, but I'm too big to drown accidentally. I have to work hard to get my head underwater in the tub. I'm safe. I promise. Thank you for the concern though!
@@kietsuhimeCant your body just adjust if your asleep and try seek a more comfortable or lower position for your head even if it means putting your legs higher? In that kind of event you would probably drown
@@captainhd9741if he fits the entire tub. There's no way he's drowning. He didn't specify but responded, so there's nothing more to conclude here
My cat always knew when I was sad and would always come cuddle when I needed it. Best cat ever. RIP Ino.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Ino sounds like an incredible cat with a special bond with you. It's amazing how our furry friends can sense our emotions and bring us comfort. Sending you lots of love during this tough time. 💔🐾
Rip
I'm an unwell man and my cat looks after me as though she is a little nurse. We share the double bed in the guest room sometimes and she sleeps on two pillows and my head is on the other two. I kid you not- I woke up to her gently stroking my head with one paw 2 days ago. It was beautiful. We don't give cats enough credit for just how intelligent they are.
That’s so sweet. My female cat is so receptive to my emotions and health that at times she knows something is wrong before I do. She gets worried whenever I cry or am in emotional distress. I love cats so much lol.
My cat likes to always check on me while I'm in the bathroom 😅she thinks it's a group activity 😂😂😂
@@lindadoughty4824 There is guaranteed lap to sit on in that bathroom. 😂😂😂

"You've been sitting in that chair in front of your computer for three hours now.
Are you okay? Have you gone mad? Do you need anything?"
When my girlfriend tripped and fell and broke her ankle our cat literally jumped out of the top of the cat tree running to her, she just knew something bad had happened and she has done this several other times for other reasons. She is extremely protectful and often just comes aroubd to make sure you are ok.
My cat tried to trip my mom down the stairs regularly, by waiting for her to go down and then walking in front of her feet from a blindspot.
Protective, not protectful 😊.
My cat can tell if I'm sick or depressed. He will lay in bed with me all day if I'm having an off day. Cat's are amazing.
I got one of my horrible cluster migraines when I was house sitting for my family, I was also watching our new family member and he was just a few months in. But I remember falling asleep in the sofa and covering my head trying to get relieve when I felt our new family member lay its whole body on my chest and purr. I couldn’t help but shed a tear not from pain but from how much I loved him for even noticing let alone trying to help me. Jojo is always going to have a place In my heart from that day on. A great kitty!

On Mayo Clinic site, one thing mentioned that may help prevent cluster headache/migraine is a calcium channel blocker. Magnesium is a natural calcium channel blocker.
also consider looking into or trying ginger
My cat IS a god emperor. His name is Kirby but his full name is Kirben-Ra, Pharaoh of All Land the Sun’s Light Touches, Source of the Nile, Son of Bastet.

Cats know we're slow and squishy and a bit dim. Lord knows what we could do to ourselves without constant cat supervision.
My cat, Domino, knew something was up and that there was stress and commotion in the house when I was getting ready to leave for uni. She’d check in on me when I was packing and gave me a send off. She also knew when my dog was dying. She’d head butt and snuggle up with my poor old lady when she clearly had only a few more days in her. Cats can be incredibly intuitive, much like dogs.
My two cats growing up would search and "capture" anyone who was in bed sick and stay with them. One year, Mom, Dad, and my two sisters and I had the flu and were all in our respective rooms. Those two furballs were jumping from room to room, bed to bed trying to take care of us all. It was so great.
When my aunt passed away, I was laying in bed crying and my cat, Simba came and sat on my chest and actually was wiping away my tears ❤
My cat and I have enough of a bond that we can legitimately communicate.
If I want him to leave a room, it’s a quick gesture and a “c’mon buddy, gotta go.” and he trots out of the room with a trill.
I have also learned to understand HIS meows and gestures.
He’s not Velcro, but he’s always hanging out either upstairs under my sheets or otherwise somewhere in the same room as me.
I (sadly) don't have a cat. But the four different neighbour's cats used to ALWAYS fight over which one of them gets to sit on my lap. I genuinely miss some of the kitties since they, and their providers, moved away. One of their providers still texts me to let me know how my furry friend is doing. ^_^
❤❤❤❤
maybe the cat distribution system will do its thing soon
I have three cats, I don't know what I'd do without them.
I have 3 cats too and I am obsessed with them 😍
Maybe have a family, you freaking weirdo
Probably you'd get three cats.
@@Coastfog🤣
Take the time to profit of there time with you❤....every day!!❤
I broke my ankle and was recovering post op. My cat stayed by my side. She also got real defensive if anyone came what she felt was too close.
I’ve definitely thought my cat was checking on me. Particularly if I changed rooms. She had to see what I was up to in the new room.
My cat sits where I can see her, looking sad.
It's a guilt trip tactic.
The moment I start walking toward her, she runs over and climbs up onto her tower and lays in her basket waiting for her scritches..
My cat could somehow tell when I’d be coming home from college for the weekend, to the point that on the times when I didn’t come home on Fridays my parents reported he would get frantic and start searching the house, especially my room.
I have maladaptive daydreaming disorder and my boy INCESSANTLY checks on me when I spend too long in it - sometimes most of the day. He meows, jumps up and pats me all over, nibbles sometimes on my arm, whines and rolls onto my body. I can get annoyed sometimes but pretty quick I just sigh and love on him in appreciation. He's a sweetheart! ❤️
Few people in my life would believe this since my boy is seen as mean, antisocial, and very intimidating. I think he's rude most of the time because he is sensitive and only has the energy to be kind if someone really needs it ❤️ That makes his kindness even more special to experience because you know he's deliberately making the choice to do it when he does! And, yes, it's usually when people seriously need emotional support. I've seen people absolutely melt and bawl their eyes out when he suddenly gets loving with them in their moments of need!
Making sure the servants are still in the house and not goofing off on the job. Because somebody has to make dinner, keep the litter box clean, provide heat or a/c as required, leave out baskets of clean laundry to nap on and shed all over.
Our cat paws at the door to be let in. Collects a few rubs and acknowledgments and then asks to go back outside. “Ok, come back by 10!”
Cats swarmed my room after my tonsils got removed. Imagine the movie “The Birds” except with cats and snuggles while stuck in a bed.
I know someone who has a cat that predicts her headaces. He always curls around her head when she is about to get sick. We have no idea how it works but it's fascinating.
I wouldn't be surprised if the cat could smell a hormone change or hear something going on that humans don't perceive. Their senses are stronger than ours. Dogs are too and dogs can be trained to detect stuff like cancer and seizures.
I’m glad my cat is always close to me ❤
My boy sits behind and stares at me while I’m at the kitchen sink. 😂
I fell one time and my grey tabby came running to me to see if I was ok enough to still get snacks!😂😂
My kitty is always checking on me
Whenever I'm sick or feeling sad, they always stay by my side. I always thought only dogs were like that, but cats are super empathetic and get concerned when somethings wrong.
My Shadow checks on me constantly! She comes up on the couch to get petted
My cat does that too! They fight over who will get pet first🤣🤣🤣
Pets are members of our communities/families, and i believe they pick jobs in their families. My grandma had a black cat named Pilgrim, and he decided i was his job. He was the shadow of my every step whenever i went up there to visit from the time i was about 2 years old. My dad even says he could tell the difference between when his car contained me and when it did not, as Pilgrim would come running up to the driveway only when I was in the car with him. Pilgrim kept little toddler me safe and kept me from getting lost on those 36 acres of wild woods, he would bat at me or taunt me until i wanted to play with him so i would stay away from the cliffs. I didn't even know there were cliffs until i was closer to 10, basically when i no longer had him to stop me. I like to think his ghost still checks in, and that's part of why my current cats get the random zoomies sometimes. They're just playing with Pilgrim.❤
lol. I had a cat who did this. My backyard was pretty much a catio. They have a cat door that they could go in and out through. There was a window included in the area that looked into the room I was usually in. He would quite often be seen looking in to see me. Sometimes he’d even come running in, sometimes meowing, run right to me, touch me, get a pat and then go back outside. Interestingly enough there were times you just KNEW he wanted me to follow, then sit outside and watch him doing whatever.
“Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy….hi.”
Intro to cat security 101 😂😂😂
A few times, when my sister got sick in the middle of the night, I'd sleep out in the living room (we shared a divided bedroom) in my sleeping bag while Mom helped her multiple times in the night when I couldn't stay awake to help. Both times, I woke up in the morning and found our cats sleeping with me on the floor. I guess they were equally worried about her and understood why I was there (exhausted, didn't want to get sick, needed a quieter place to sleep) and slept with me to comfort me as well as comfort themselves, and to keep my temperature up so I could stay well. One of the cats never slept with me otherwise (though he did prefer a bigger bed and saw Mom as his mom since she found him as a stray kitten when he didn't even have his eyes open yet).
I had 2 cats, and had abdominal surgery. Both kitties got along, but one promptly decided he was my guardian and kept the other pets not just off the bed but out of the bedroom until I was up and around.
My cat looks through my shopping bags when I come back home 😂
Mine do that too... straight to the shopping "what's in the bags Mum? Mum, did U get stuff for us? We know there's food in these somewhere..." they're as bad as my SON used to be - lol
P.S. cats like calm guitar playing
Mine doesn't. If I even pick up my guitar she changes rooms.
I think cats in general like music that’s not too loud. My cat will come and do the squinty eyes when I listen to certain music (((she loves Glass Animals)))
"Where's my human at?" 😄
Every single time i go to the bathroom i have my little welcoming kitty committee lol
My cat LOVES getting skritches on his head and chin. Hes my baby boy.
My cat checks on me while I’m in the shower
My cat leads me to thr fridge or cabinet when she think I'm hungry or need to pick something off the floor😂
When my cats are outside and I'm in the living room watching TV or playing a game, the cats will every five minutes or so jump on the window to look at me, then they want me to open the window to let them in. Then they come in, look at me, then walk right back to the door and meow to be let out, and this will go on all day until nightfall when it's time for bed. Then they don't meow at the door usually. Idk why they do that, it's very annoying having to constantly open the window, but at the end of the day I love them with all my heart, and enjoy all the time I get to spend with them. Their lives are too short, and 12 or so years aren't enough. But I will be reunited with all my loved ones in heaven, and that is the only consolation I have. Both human and animal families. Together forever, with no tears, fear, or pain. Only joy forever with the Father.
Cats feel like they should be able to get to and from wherever they want to. My cats dont go outdoors because my house is just 15 feet from a very fast road and also ATV trail, the sounds outside terrify them. But in the house if a door is closed that they think should be open they are unhappy. I don't always want my basement door open so its closed all the time. Sometimes they want thru the door but theyve learned it only opens very rarely and i guard it sometimes because i dont want them down there all the time. So they give up easily when they do want thru. Because your cats want to come in and out whenever they feel like it, if you comply with them everytime they will become even more frustrated if you don't let them in. I think its good to just accept it and love their little annoyances, but the truth is that if you don't want them to do that, it just means ignoring them sometimes so they will learn that the window isn't always going to open on their command every 5 minutes.
@makeshift_battlefield_music Yeah, I know, and I guess I should be firmer with them, but I can't help it. They have fun going outside, and we live in the country, so I just deal with it. When the mosquitoes aren't bad, I leave the windows open for them so they can mosey about at their own leisure. I used to never think I'd like cats until they all just wandered onto my property and never left, so I adopted the four of them, I felt so bad for them not having a home, that I just kept them. It's been like that my whole life, I've never had to go to a pound or shelter. Animals have always just wandered in and stayed. Before, it was dogs, and now cats. Idk what brings them here. God, I reckon, but im always happy to see them come and decide to live here. My wife is a soft ass like I am, too, and she can't turn them away either, so it works out. I'm fine with the little annoyances cause I know one day I'll miss them more than anything else.
The Alien reason was a real eye-opener 😮 it was interesting to place yourself in cat's perspective like that...
This was on and in came Betty, right on time.
She comes and checks on me every 10/15 mins.
She seems to just want it to be me and her, if a cat comes to see us, she turns into a little banshee, hissing like mad. 🐱🐱❤️❤️
My cat is afraid of nothing. He also eats any scorpions that sneak in, size makes no difference. He even attacked a German Sheppard.
My cats like spiders, I live butted up to a forest and get some pretty US quarter size and up spiders. I always find them dead with the back side missing.
my cat peeking the door as im about to sleep feels insanely sweet and creepy at the same time 😂
Can’t even go to the bathroom by myself
Cats are so smart. When I visit my parents, I give one of the neighbours' cats some dry cat food. He spends a lot of time in our garden, and we have the impression that he is not getting all the food he'd like at home. ... Anyway, freeloading cat 1 usually makes an appearance each day. A couple of days ago, freeloading cat 2 appeared, apparently hungry. She got some dry cat food, too. We assume these cats must have been talking to each other.
since im about to get a cat, i always watch these videos to help me know what to do when i get the cat, thanks for the information
If you can afford pet insurance that might help you to have a long healthy friendship with your new kitty.
don't worry your cat will train you up
Prepare for random chaos
My cat just walked into my study and meowed.... No reason, just one of her routine 'check ups' on me. 😄
Cats are extremelly complicated and wierd creatures. But they love us, it is in their genetic memory that goes back to ancient Egypt! But a lot of humans just don't understand cats, for a smart species we are pretty dumb in some areas like understanding other animals!
You think ppl are smart?! 😅🤣🤣
@@Nola5427 Lol, no, intelligent was probably a better word to use, but i was a bit drunk at the time!

My cat tigger recently passed away i was their comforting him as he took his last breaths.
I had bottle fed him and raised him for 12 years. He used to run around my house after he'd take a shit all proud and excited. Before he was an indoor cat he loved catching mice and Squirrels and also birds. A very energetic little guy.
He was very calm and liked to cuddle up with me whenever I'd take a nap and sleep on my chest needing me and purring always smiling and he'd never fail to run up if he heard a bag crinkle thinking it was his cat treats. He wasn't very talkative but he was friendly he'd always brush up against strangers and purr his favorite spots to be pet was his head and belly rubs
I loved my cat like a son and even tho hes gone he will always be my baby boy. I couldnt have asked for a better cat. He was always so well behaved full of life, he had curious eyes full of wonder about the world a large smile that would win anyone over and enough love to help anyone when they were down.
Tigger daddy's gonna miss you so so much, i love you with all my heart buddy idk where or what happens after death buddy but one day well meet again and cuddle like the good old days....
My little watch cat sleeps on the bed, parked between me and the bedroom door. Always on guard.

My fur babt always sit in the kitchen chair and stares at us intently when we cook. I think he'll be a chef in his next life
My cat had to be let into the bathroom while I was throwing up last night.... She was concerned, lol! Trying to headbutt me as I'm heaving....
😸 Cats have such unique ways of showing their concern, don't they? It sounds like she wanted to comfort you in her own furry way.
Awwwww! She was trying to help!
The voice over reminds me of guy who narrated Battleblock Theater lmao
Love the "Alien" reason though. Some cats are so smart, I think they really do want to understand
My family had around four cats when I was a kid .. 30 some years, it's just third nature when they're around.
5:40 My cat started eating only with her paws and even tried and managed to open cupboard doors
My fuzzy boys always come protecc me when I'm in the bathroom. They're good kitties
My one kitty will sleep with her head pressed against mine when i have migraines. The other will come in and scream at me to make sure im alive like a toddler 😂
It's gonna sound like I'm making this up but I swear I'm not. One time I was sitting at my desk playing a game on my PC with a controller and I decided to take a break to grab some water, so I placed the controller on the desk and left the room. When I returned, my cat was sitting on his hind legs in my chair with his body extended upward and he was trying to put his two front paws on the face of the controller. It may have been coincidence but he's been known to imitate things he sees me do before, actually it's pretty common, he knows how to use door knobs and handles (though sometimes they're too slick or stiff for him to use he still tries) , he'll open drawers and cabinets right after I've just closed them to try and figure out what I was doing on them, and if I leave my phone unattended he paws at the screen until he gets it to light up. Like I said, it could be coincidence, but knowing him and having seen that he's particularly intelligent and curious when it comes to human activities I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he was trying to imitate what he saw me doing with the controller that day.
Cats are very intelligent, a few of ours can open doors.
My cat learnt how to use a ladder by seeing my dad go to the roof of the house. She climbs it up just like a little person!

My cats constantly check on me.
When Im sitting in the lounge room, they mill in and out of the room, eventually settling into their own spaces.
When I leave the room, they leave as well.

Sometimes the protector thing goes both ways. Like if the cat can smell sickness on their human, they're more likely to check up on you and try to comfort you through it.
I am pretty confident that my cat is an alien, one that has been assigned to watch us incognito and this was the best disguise they could come up with. Have a look at your cats face from the right angle and see how much they look like the typical "grey" alien.
Lol! When our grandson was 😂4 ( at that time in a ‘dog’ family’i drew an ‘alien’ for him starting with the eyes, when I got to the ears his exasperated response was great!
BTW he now has a cat!
Thank God i didn't choke myself while eating after you said
"Engaging you're weird nightly sleep ritual" part
"If you keep giving them treats and affection when they pop in, they'll keep doing it. You're essentially rewarding the behaviour". You're talking like that's a bad thing, I love attention from cats!
When my family used to cat-sit a lovely cat (I may have been a tad obsessed with her), she used to pop in when we were eating dinner in the dining room. She'd come in, do a set circuit around me and under the table, and return to her living room zone. I'd also pop by to check on her when I went to get more rice from the rice cooker appliance.
We have a Ragdoll. He follows me all through the house. If I get out of his sight he comes and checks on me. I have a big furry guardian and wouldn’t have it any other way.
I really love your channel and I’ve learned so much. It’s fantastic.
Thank you so much! 🐾 I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying the channel and finding it helpful. Your support means a lot.
My cats always play lifeguard when I go to the bathroom. At least that's what I like to think. They're just making sure I don't drown in the forbidden water bowl.
