I don't know what about watching people living their own normal lives makes me so happy, YES!!! CAT ADJUSTING TO LIFE IN A NEW STATE???? Hell yeah, quality content I appreciate right there
I have an eleven year old Siamese cat too and it literally happens every winter. I think it the dry air in the house. I use hydrocortisone spray for cats at Walmart and it seems to help
1. Sam such a gorgeous kitty! 2. You take such good care of her! Lucky kitty! 3. Our cat Gollum's favorite toy was a feather my daughter found that we duct-taped to the end of an old bootlace.
I'm so glad she's doing better and her scratches are gone!! And nice job overcoming your fear of feeding her medicine! I definitely get anxiety giving my dog medicine as well.
I had 3 kitties once in my former life that had F.A.D.-Flea Alleric Dermatitis. They had to have steroid shots for every 6 months for the remainder of their lives. And we never had fleas!! All it takes is a spec of flea dirt carried in from outside or from someone's home that might have flea dirt on their pets or their homes (carpet, furniture). Also, if your neighbors have pets, they may be broadcasting the allergens into the outdoor enviroment. Y'all did awesome taking her to the vet and getting her the meds she needs to be happy and healthy. Oh, and GREAT JOB pilling her!!! Once again, another incredible video!!!
My cat's favorite toy was the simplest one... a shoestring with a pretty much anything tied to the end for weight. I would then toss it out like a fishing line, and slowly pull it toward me. As she really started to get into it I would start whipping it back and forth, and she would be darting from on place to the other trying to catch it.
Sam look exactly like the Siamese I had back in 1991-1994. I loved that cat, but never could come up with a good name, so she was always "Cat". My current dog, Brisco, is 15 years old and I have to give him medicine for worms and fleas/tics once a month, and joint medicine almost daily (depending on how he is doing). But it's worth it, because 15 years old he still acts like a puppy running around the house. As for the food, I use Rachael Ray products which my vet recommended and he love it, and it seems to really help him a lot all around.
I used to have a sleek black cat that liked to jump up in the air like Sam. I had a toy that ejected flying plastic discs (like mini frisbees) and he used to catch them high up in the air (maybe 5 or 6 feet). He was like a stunt dog with a frisbee. This was back in the early 90’s so there were no cell phones to record his amazing leaps 😭😭
Cats really seem to like a pointer where you point the red dot anywhere (on the floor, the Wall) and they go crazy trying to catch or pick up that red dot! It's too funny to watch them! You guys stay warm! Just found your channel today and I have enjoyed watching your videos!!! South Carolina fan!!!
sometimes they will pretend they swallowed it and spit out. When you give the meds, after you put it in Sam's mouth, close her mouth like you did and blow on her nose. This should make her lick her nose and when she does that she automatically swallows the pill. I have a cat and had to give meds before and when I thought he had swallowed it, later found it somewhere else. Hope Same gets better soon :) without the meds.
Hi Rowdy, My cat's vet taught me how to give a cat a pill. This worked for me every time I had to give Sam (my male cat's name) a pill. I'll explain this from the perspective of right-handed person, and anyone can just reverse hands at will. 1. Get Sam to not be suspicious. Cuddle him in my arms and walk into the bathroom while his eyes are closed, and close the door. 2. I put Sam on my vanity, facing left... in a sitting, not standing position (him, not me)! That is important. 3. I put my pinky and ring fingers of my right hand, behind his head. You will immediately feel where your fingers should go. 4. Using my thumb and pointer fingers of my right hand, GENTLY tilt his head backwards. 5. His lower jaw will be uncontrollable to him, in this position. 6. Have the pill already between the thumb and pointer finger of my left hand. 7. Using the middle finger of my left hand, GENTLY open his mouth. 8. Drop the pill into his mouth. 9. GENTLY push the pill a tiny bit into the start of his throat. 10. Close his mouth, and GENTLY rub downward on his throat. 11. Let go of the cat when his instinct makes him swallow, and he remembers that he can take me, in one round. It took the vet about 30 seconds to show me how to do this, on one of Sam's visits, but to write it down? Timeless ;)
She could be allergic to the water. My friends cat was allergic to the water in Canada (she's from Brazil), she only found out $3000 later in vet bills and it was solved by a $50 filter. Maybe try that?
Of course the vet wanted money your poor friend my friend paid 5000.00 and then found out her cats kidneys were falling and she had to put her cat down but the cat was almost 30 years old and it's only because the vet made her change the food
@@hansnystrompastor8690, not really. There is a huge difference between the climate and the vegetation in AL and CO. Even though Sam is indoors, Rowdy could easily be bringing something in on his clothes. I say him especially because he travels so close to the ground.
Thank you so much for letting us know about Sam! She’s such a gorgeous girl, and it’s wonderful to see her play and be happy with you. Keep us posted if you find anything else that might’ve triggered her allergy. Thank you for taking such good care of her.
My Siamese had the EXACT same thing in the exact same place. Vet can take a blood allergy test to see what she’s allergic to if it persists. Never good to use steroids long term unless absolutely necessary. Sending positive healing thoughts! ❤️
Hey Rowdy. That's great you got to bring Sam. Hope you settle in good in Colorado. Man, your a true inspiration. I love your attitude and personality. I'd love to meet you one day. Thanks for the videos, they're great.
Nicely done with giving her the pill. And gifts always help ( she is a female you know ) get a small humidifier it helps my little dachshunds in the winter they cough, sneeze and itch except when I let the humidifier run
OMG how brave to give the medicine on camera. You looked how I look when I have had to give medicine to my cats. I have 2 cats, a sister & brother. They are rescues too. One f my cats was allergic to Hills c/d so she's now on Hills d/d. It is very stressful when the kids get sick. I am so happy that Sam is doing great now. 😻🙌🏻
Aww poor baby! I get what you mean about not wanting to be the bad guy that does things that might make the kitty upset, like giving them pills. I tend to get unpleasant tasks like that done at the vet 😬 A small tip about playing with cats: they love a little spying & ambush, then a little light hearted hopping, then maybe high speed chase, all depend on how they’re feeling at the moment. You don’t have to try very hard to wag the toy up high all the time to give them a good time. You can start slow, using big & small household items & furniture (backpack, basket etc) as obstacles to hide the toy behind and rope them into the chase, with them having a very satisfying play session without breaking a sweat yourself 😉 I use the same strategy when play with one or up to 30 cats at one time, and they’d all be happy, save for a couple persistent toy hoggers, refusing to quit til they get the toy all to themselves 😅
Really nice video.......glad to hear Sam is alright. I have to admit.....I had a pretty good laugh when the feather flew off that one toy. Cats are weird....sometimes they end up liking the weirdest, most common things as toys. Thank you for another interesting video. Smiles and Hug to you, Ilona and Sam....Yolanda from Jax Fl 🌴🐈🌴
Hi Rowdy. I think cats stretch by climbing. In the outdoors, by climbing trees and pulling on scratching poles. I think this is very important for their overall health. Stretches the lats, traps and scapula. I've watched some videos of cats climbing poles indoors and trees outdoors. I thought you'd find this interesting. Also, you've been an inspiration to me.
I have two female cats and I love them. Cats are so cute and pure love (sometimes they're crazy hahaha). You are an interesting person and I like this channel. Greetings from Mexico.
I'd clean the house floor to cieling with something made for cleaning for pet allergies. And echo the water filter idea. I used a filtered water bowl for my cats.
Hey Rowdy! I’m glad y’all are doing well! Just wanted to let you know I also have a cat with severe allergies, and his vet recommended putting him on a bunch of medications and steroids. I decided to switch him to raw food only, and it has helped him tremendously! He’s happy and playful all the time and doesn’t have any issues. He also doesn’t have to be on the steroids anymore. Steroids can be extremely hard on their other organs and shorten their lifespan long term. I highly recommend looking into getting Sam on raw. It may help her feel better! I hope she gets better soon and good luck to y’all!
If your cat has to stay on meds ask your vet about apoquel for cats its a lot better than steroids long term. My dog is ten and was suffering from flea and dust mite allergies for 9 years and nothing seemed to work for her til apoquel came out and my vet suggested it. its been a god send for her.
Glad the Dr. Helped. Buy those plug in air scents with calming smell. Those are fabulous If used in every room. Cat nip grass also a bonus.. you can also grow it at home
Hi Rowdy, my last cat had the exact same thing, he was poorly with it. It turned out to be a flea allergy. We made sure he had regular flea treatment after that and he was a happy cat.
I would Definitely filter the water. I'm in Denver and all of our run off water has unhealthy stuff in it. Most of Colorado has very hard water and those minerals could be causing problems. Also, keep her inside. We have coyotes. Could have been the cleaning solution in the carpet cleaner, or a chemical in the carpet. There is also a supplement called dynavite.
I'm glad she's okay, hope you can figure out what she's allergic to! She's very cute! Just a tip, when playing with her, let her catch the toys and hold on to them for a few seconds, dragging the toy across the floor slowly also helps! This can mimic an actual hunt for a cat, they need to feel like they can catch their prey :)
My kitty was having a really bad skin rash for almost a year. Our regular very tried steroids and antibiotics, but those only worked a little while. We had to go to a specialist dermatologist vet. We went through more rounds of antibiotics and steroids, but for a much longer period, and a flea, tick and mite prevention meds. That finally worked. Turns out she is allergic to skin mites. Hopefully Sam's rash is cleared up permanently.
I hope Sam gets better it's really tricky finding out the cause of animals allergies I went through the same thing with my dog for a year and it was the grass and certain flowers in the new state I moved to are high in pollen. The steroid shots work but my vet didn't think it a good idea to rely on wishing you guys all the best.
Another wonderful video love Sam just wanted to let you know that I posted some Lego pictures on your Facebook and my husband made a minifig of you so you are now part of our Lego City
mine too. And she is a Siamese as well. has to be a Siamese thing. can your cat have any cat treats? I havent found a treat yet that mine can have with out issues with scratching by her ears like that.
Hi guys told my husband your a good cat daddy because my guy wouldn't ever give meds to our cats (scared he will hurt them). I'm proud of you. She loves you so much she trusts your not gonna hurt her. Great job by Ilona as well because Sam's not freaked about getting her pill. Thanks for video😘😽😻 kisses from Sam's kitty fans Miss Willow and Fluffyman. 😘😂😎 glad she's doing better
To make it easyier greenies makes these treats that are like pill pockets. My aunt buys them for her cats. One is diabetic and we have had other problems and these seem to work. You can also crush up some up of her favourite treats and mix the pill with it. I’ve done that before and worked
Rowdy Burton oh really. That’s interesting. My aunt has cats who don’t like treats also and dosent like wet food either. Hopefully Sam the cat is better
Lovely to see you and Sam having fun. Any new soft furnishings? They can have quite weird chemicals , which release for a few months. Or was the flat repainted before you moved in ? Either way , well done for getting her to take her pill , ours is like dealing with a slippery sprite. Also - seriously - Plants ! Cats need to chew on grasses.
Poor Sam! I hope Sam is recovered for good. Was it the food, you never did say?? My kitten loves those "feather's on a string" toys too! Only he's so wickedly tough, he tears them up and fast! After buying a ton of the feather attachments I found some little "mice" that he loves - my kitty actually plays "fetch" like a dog, if you can believe that! He'll play it until I just quit, funniest thing I've ever seen! You should get a package of "mice" and try that! They're much cheaper on Amazon than the feathers LOL! It's great exercise for an indoor cat, and mine is an indoor cat too!
Sam was a good boi but I’m wondering if pilling anally would be easier and if it’s done? To me it seems like it would be less painful to the cat without the forced choking.
Steefan Nafeets I’ve never pilled a cat but it seems more humane imo. Seeing the cat choke made me uneasy. Some cats might enjoy a quick pill up the butt or be uncomfortable. Depends on the cat I would guess. But seeing how they gag I would at least give it a try
Zaza lunacy haha doh! Never even thought of that, but yeah that would make the most sense haha. But don’t tell that to me, tell it to Rowdy. Btw what’s up with him? Haven’t seen anything in months it seems. Anyone follow him on other platforms and know what’s up? Hopefully he didn’t get the Rona...
The same thing happens to my kitty in the winter. We had no idea why he was scratching his head and neck raw and we spent a lot of money at the vet and on medicine at first. This year we bought a humidifier and, I was shocked to see that he doesn’t scratch anymore! So it may just be too dry for her, maybe try out a humidifier if it happens again!
Rowdy love your channel and hearing your adventures. I noticed all your videos have captioning on bottom. Do you do that in editing or is that a UA-cam feature? It only appears on your channel just curious how that gets done. Thanks and keep the journey going.
That’s a cool rug. I used to have one just like it. It really tied the room together. Maybe you should try putting it in a closet for a while because my skin used to itch a little after I would do sit ups on mine.
Natural remedies for treating pets with allergies : Omega 3 fatty acids decrease the tendency for your pet's immune system to overreact. Be patient, as it may take 3-6 weeks for the fatty acids to be incorporated into the cells in the body and ease allergy symptoms. Super Pure Omega 3 Soft Chews may be the most helpful of all fatty acid products because of its purity and ease of assimilation. If your pet is finicky, try Super Pure Omega 3 Liquid which can be mixed in with your pet's food.
First, love your channel and Sam, I have many kitties of my own! Second, you don't want to keep her on steroids as often they cause alot of medical problems and when you try to decrease or stop they can cause actually cause worsening of symptoms. Things to rule out: is she on a once month prescription flea treatment-if so stop for at least a month, if she improves she may have developed an allergy to it just like us humans can do after time with meds. If she's not on a regular prescription flea treament, get her on one, often the non rx products are ineffective, and the histamines that are causing this could be related to simply a different kind of flea where you live now. I hope she's much better, but if not these are some things you can try if you haven't yet, otherwise I have further suggestions. ( Long time working with cats and people's allergies lol) I wish Sam the best!
hi Rowdy, I used to have to pill our cat too. The easiest way for me was to swaddle her in a towel, so she couldn't scratch me or get away. Works like a charm! You did pretty well on your first try 👍 It most likely is the new food since she didn't show allergies to your new place since you've been there a couple of months now. Have you ever got Sam a catnip mousie? Mine loves it. 💯
Yea, we were originally doubtful that it was the new food because it took over 6 weeks for the symptoms to appear- but we switched out the food anyway. Turns out Sam is not a fan of catnip!
She could be detoxing the old food and grains. Medicine will just suppress the toxins. Animals tend to detox through the head and eye area. A slow transition with food will help. We feed a raw diet, natural things like raw fish and chicken. I really like for ease of feeding the primal food, ours really like the frozen over the dehydrated. Anyway blessings and I will keep Sam in my prayers. btw, steroids are very hard on the adrenals which do operate the kidneys. #LOVE
My daughter has a siemes cat too and he gets allergic to unknown stuff also, , I’m a cat person, don’t have any right now but i love um, i have had a siemes cat before also, love them, well, hugs to all .

That pill admin went REALLY well. Sam was amazingly cooperative! Lots of cats are not so calm.
You're a good cat daddy, Rowdy.
I don't know what about watching people living their own normal lives makes me so happy, YES!!! CAT ADJUSTING TO LIFE IN A NEW STATE???? Hell yeah, quality content I appreciate right there
Humans are emotional creatures, and we need our fix no matter how we get it. :)
I have an eleven year old Siamese cat too and it literally happens every winter. I think it the dry air in the house. I use hydrocortisone spray for cats at Walmart and it seems to help
Thank you for letting me know where I am living there cats the same way
We thought it was the dryness too, but according to the vet, her skin is not dry.
The way you and sam both watched the feather part fly away was hilarious dude!! Lmao!
That is one happy and spoiled cat! It looks like she is keeping you entertained!!!
I hope Sam is already better. You got a good shot of her beautiful blue eyes. Thanks for sharing her. 🐈
Eep! So glad to see Sam playing and adjusting to her new home!😻😻😻 I hope you humans are doing well too. ;)
1. Sam such a gorgeous kitty! 2. You take such good care of her! Lucky kitty! 3. Our cat Gollum's favorite toy was a feather my daughter found that we duct-taped to the end of an old bootlace.
You have such a sweet spirit. Listening to you is like talking with a friend and helps me with my anxiety. Thank you for sharing your life with me.
I'm so glad she's doing better and her scratches are gone!! And nice job overcoming your fear of feeding her medicine! I definitely get anxiety giving my dog medicine as well.

I've only had indoor kitties and they live like royalty like Sam. Don't worry about her inside, she looks like she enjoys being inside.😘😎😽😻

I didn't think of that! Ha!

Oh Sam 💕 so adorable
Hi first one keep up the good effort and keep on trying to do u the things u love
My kitty was having a really bad skin rash for almost a year. Our regular very tried steroids and antibiotics, but those only worked a little while. We had to go to a specialist dermatologist vet. We went through more rounds of antibiotics and steroids, but for a much longer period, and a flea, tick and mite prevention meds. That finally worked. Turns out she is allergic to skin mites. Hopefully Sam's rash is cleared up permanently.
She's the sweetest cat ever
Sam looks happy. I lost my baby (cat) after 18 yrs. sure miss her
Sorry to hear that, I lost one too, recently, Very rough.
I hope Sam gets better it's really tricky finding out the cause of animals allergies I went through the same thing with my dog for a year and it was the grass and certain flowers in the new state I moved to are high in pollen.
The steroid shots work but my vet didn't think it a good idea to rely on wishing you guys all the best.
Sam is adorbs! Great job giving the pill! Sam actually did great swallowing it. Cookie freaks out if I even need to wipe her eyes off!
Thanks Der Guy.
Another wonderful video love Sam just wanted to let you know that I posted some Lego pictures on your Facebook and my husband made a minifig of you so you are now part of our Lego City
Sam.... oh soooo CUTE KITTY!
My cat has that! She is allergic to grain and chicken.
mine too. And she is a Siamese as well. has to be a Siamese thing. can your cat have any cat treats? I havent found a treat yet that mine can have with out issues with scratching by her ears like that.
Sam is so cute! 😻
Hi guys told my husband your a good cat daddy because my guy wouldn't ever give meds to our cats (scared he will hurt them). I'm proud of you. She loves you so much she trusts your not gonna hurt her. Great job by Ilona as well because Sam's not freaked about getting her pill. Thanks for video😘😽😻 kisses from Sam's kitty fans Miss Willow and Fluffyman. 😘😂😎 glad she's doing better
Thank you!
To make it easyier greenies makes these treats that are like pill pockets. My aunt buys them for her cats. One is diabetic and we have had other problems and these seem to work. You can also crush up some up of her favourite treats and mix the pill with it. I’ve done that before and worked
we tried, she doesnt like them lol, she hardly likes any treats
Rowdy Burton oh really. That’s interesting. My aunt has cats who don’t like treats also and dosent like wet food either. Hopefully Sam the cat is better
She's a cute Siamese. Hopefully she's feeling better now
Lovely to see you and Sam having fun. Any new soft furnishings? They can have quite weird chemicals , which release for a few months. Or was the flat repainted before you moved in ? Either way , well done for getting her to take her pill , ours is like dealing with a slippery sprite.
Also - seriously - Plants ! Cats need to chew on grasses.
I don't know if the apartment was painted, but we didn't buy anything new except for her cat palace- hope its not that!
Poor Sam! I hope Sam is recovered for good. Was it the food, you never did say?? My kitten loves those "feather's on a string" toys too! Only he's so wickedly tough, he tears them up and fast! After buying a ton of the feather attachments I found some little "mice" that he loves - my kitty actually plays "fetch" like a dog, if you can believe that! He'll play it until I just quit, funniest thing I've ever seen! You should get a package of "mice" and try that! They're much cheaper on Amazon than the feathers LOL! It's great exercise for an indoor cat, and mine is an indoor cat too!
We're still not sure what it is. Yea we might try a toy like that, thanks!
Pilling a cat is no fun. Just make sure she doesn’t spit it out after walking away lol.
Sam was a good boi but I’m wondering if pilling anally would be easier and if it’s done? To me it seems like it would be less painful to the cat without the forced choking.
@@user-em8yy1dl7s Yeah, cause pushing pills up your cats butt sounds so much easier....Not!
Steefan Nafeets I’ve never pilled a cat but it seems more humane imo. Seeing the cat choke made me uneasy. Some cats might enjoy a quick pill up the butt or be uncomfortable. Depends on the cat I would guess. But seeing how they gag I would at least give it a try
Zaza lunacy haha doh! Never even thought of that, but yeah that would make the most sense haha. But don’t tell that to me, tell it to Rowdy.
Btw what’s up with him? Haven’t seen anything in months it seems. Anyone follow him on other platforms and know what’s up? Hopefully he didn’t get the Rona...
poor kitty. she is beautiful
The same thing happens to my kitty in the winter. We had no idea why he was scratching his head and neck raw and we spent a lot of money at the vet and on medicine at first. This year we bought a humidifier and, I was shocked to see that he doesn’t scratch anymore! So it may just be too dry for her, maybe try out a humidifier if it happens again!
yes, finally :D
Awe you were more afraid than
ur little cat was..We ALL R😊
Rowdy love your channel and hearing your adventures. I noticed all your videos have captioning on bottom. Do you do that in editing or is that a UA-cam feature? It only appears on your channel just curious how that gets done. Thanks and keep the journey going.
Thanks! Yea, I input them manually during editing.
Good to see that you are doing good Rowdy. I pray that you guys can figure out what Sam is allergic to.
That’s a cool rug. I used to have one just like it. It really tied the room together. Maybe you should try putting it in a closet for a while because my skin used to itch a little after I would do sit ups on mine.
We've had that rug forever and it never caused any issues, so I doubt it's the culprit, unfortunately.
Natural remedies for treating pets with allergies : Omega 3 fatty acids decrease the tendency for your pet's immune system to overreact. Be patient, as it may take 3-6 weeks for the fatty acids to be incorporated into the cells in the body and ease allergy symptoms. Super Pure Omega 3 Soft Chews may be the most helpful of all fatty acid products because of its purity and ease of assimilation. If your pet is finicky, try Super Pure Omega 3 Liquid which can be mixed in with your pet's food.
Sam is very beautiful. You are good parents to her. 👍💘👍
😊❤🐱❤🙏Que bom ver esses bichinhos bem cuidados e recebendo carinho🤗
First, love your channel and Sam, I have many kitties of my own! Second, you don't want to keep her on steroids as often they cause alot of medical problems and when you try to decrease or stop they can cause actually cause worsening of symptoms. Things to rule out: is she on a once month prescription flea treatment-if so stop for at least a month, if she improves she may have developed an allergy to it just like us humans can do after time with meds.
If she's not on a regular prescription flea treament, get her on one, often the non rx products are ineffective, and the histamines that are causing this could be related to simply a different kind of flea where you live now.
I hope she's much better, but if not these are some things you can try if you haven't yet, otherwise I have further suggestions. ( Long time working with cats and people's allergies lol) I wish Sam the best!
Thank you for the tips =)
hi Rowdy,
I used to have to pill our cat too. The easiest way for me was to swaddle her in a towel, so she couldn't scratch me or get away. Works like a charm!
You did pretty well on your first try 👍
It most likely is the new food since she didn't show allergies to your new place since you've been there a couple of months now.
Have you ever got Sam a catnip mousie? Mine loves it. 💯
Yea, we were originally doubtful that it was the new food because it took over 6 weeks for the symptoms to appear- but we switched out the food anyway.
Turns out Sam is not a fan of catnip!
She could be detoxing the old food and grains. Medicine will just suppress the toxins. Animals tend to detox through the head and eye area. A slow transition with food will help. We feed a raw diet, natural things like raw fish and chicken. I really like for ease of feeding the primal food, ours really like the frozen over the dehydrated. Anyway blessings and I will keep Sam in my prayers. btw, steroids are very hard on the adrenals which do operate the kidneys. #LOVE
Thats a cute dog :3
You can get "pill pockets" at pet store that would make it much easy. She'll think it's food and will just swallow it.
We have them! But she doesn't like them :(
She is a pretty cat
My daughter has a siemes cat too and he gets allergic to unknown stuff also, , I’m a cat person, don’t have any right now but i love um, i have had a siemes cat before also, love them, well, hugs to all .
You're my favorite person in the world
Poor kitty
😻😻
rowdy! you should try pill pockets for cats (: they love em
We have them! She refuses to eat them or almost any other treat.
