Nah, he bought them at the supermarket and is just passing them off as home-made. He's been banned from even thinking about going in the kitchen ever since he tried to make himself a bowl of cornflakes unsupervised while Claire was at work, and they had to close the street.
I'm hoping Claire made the phone calls (possibly on her phone camera) because I'm imagining Jon starting every call with a boisterous, "Good afternoon, animal shelter! I'm Jon, we're ready for many a new kittens" 😂
This story even had personal growth: Willow started off as being described as more timid and shy, and the video ends with her pouncing her sister and claiming pride of place beside Ted's tummy.
@@elianas1121 They got a genetic test done on Ted and found out that he is actually not at all labrador. He's a mix of other things that makes him look just like a lab mix. Hence Liebrador.
I might be remembering this incorrectly, but I'm pretty sure he turned out to be three spaniels and a bulldog in a trench coat. The labrador impression they create is truly impressive in how big a lie it is.
@@elianas1121 TL;DR: They thought Ted was a labrador, but he turned out to be some kind of weird boxer/spaniel mix that just looks very similar to a labrador... I think. It's been a while since I learned about Ted on stream so I'm a little fuzzy on the exact details. Anyway, that's why we call him the Deceiver. He tricked us all into thinking he was a lab when he was actually a boxer!
Happy Caturday! My 19 year old tabby passed this week, so kitten videos are a nice reminiscence. Considering he during his lifetime he: Chewed into an electrical cord and shocked himself, Got trapped in a powered chair, Got grabbed by an eagle and had to fight his way free, survived 3 interstate moves without getting stressed or lost. He had a pretty good run. Rest in peace Sparky.
I had a tear in my eye thinking about my black cat Molly who passed at 17 and a half last year. I saw her from being a newborn and her crazy antics had me in stitches. It's the first time we've not had a cat in the house for 25 years.
I bet this is Claire’s favorite anniversary as well since you didn’t destroy any of her utensils or cooking gadgets Also as a massive Buffy fan I love that you named one Willow
Yay to supporting your local shelters! I'm actually fostering a litter of 7 and their momma right now. Kitten season just started where I live, and the shelters are overflowing. Please consider fostering if you are able
Congratulations on the new additions to the MATN family! I adopted three litter mates last month when they were about 14 weeks old, and they have brought so much joy and laughter into my life! One male is a black shorthair with a silky coat and tiny smatterings of white fur on a few parts of his body. The other two, a male and a female, are tabbies/tigers. The girl is named Tabitha, Tabby for short, and whilst she is mostly named after the character from the TV series Bewitched, I did think of your beloved Tabby, and I hope my Tabby does her proud. Congratulations again, Jon and Claire, and thank you for the years of entertainment, community, and countless laughs! Here’s to another fantastic year of MATN!
Aww such babies! Coincidentally, they look almost exactly just like my old cats did as kittens, who were also sibling cats, just with their personalities swapped. Our tabby the socialable, adventurous one, and the black one a shy sweetheart. If those guys are any indication, Xena and Willow are going to grow up to be the most beautiful cats!
Jon is the reason that, when my cat of 20 years died, I looked for an older cat as a "replacement." I remember Jon saying that older cats tend to not get adopted. This mentality allowed us to find our new cat, Sunny, whose 3 years old.
Thank you Jon for giving two fluffballs a new home, a sense of balance has now returned to MATN. A wonderful anniversary special. Thank you also for promoting the local rescue charities. The work they do is phenomenal. Our local, New Start Cat Rescue, has grown from a front room type of operation to one of the biggest and certainly the best. Lucky you.
Watching the tabby playing with the blanket at 7:50 or thereabouts was adorable. Also informative as I've very little personal cat experience and haven't actually seen the way that their paws mildly distend as the claws come out before
I love them 🥰🥰 full series please I wanna see a 100% run of these little friends! Also I really liked Tungsten and Titanium, somewhat sad they don't get to keep those names :P
Your story about the stairs reminded me about when my two kitties were moved from a condo to a two-story house. They had no clue how to use the stairs, so they took the first steps super slow. My sweet, stupid boy with coordination issues and excessive bravery decided to rush them and regularly smacked into walls at the bottom. My sweet, timid girl with and overabundance of caution just went very, very slow. After about half a year, they’re both experts who can fly up or down like black, furry bullets!
This is life goals. The amount of love and care dedicated to making sure all the animals were safe and happy. Every pet deserves humans as loving as Jon and Claire 😭❤️
I adopted two kittens earlier from a local non-profit earlier this year. They add so much life and energy to the space! They are about 7 months old now and getting along splendidly. Adopting two kittens together is definitely the right move!
Your two new babies seem so much like my own barn kitties. My heart is singing a little knowing there’s a good chance there’s a beautiful little meow near you guys when you record or edit!
Congratulations on 11 years!! Thank you so much for all the entertainment over the years! Can't wait to see more of Xena and Willow, they're absolutely adorable. Seeing them and Ted nap together was so freaking cute. Wishing you, Claire, Ted, Xena and Willow all the best!
Some say it was cruel but when a stray cat and 3 kittens chose us as they're slave I mean owner. I kept them inside for until they passed away at 20. I'd never had slept knowing they were outside all night.
Considering how much shorter an outside cat's average lifespan is, and their destructive impact on the local wildlife I'd say it's crueler to have them outside.
Oh they are absolutely gorgeous!! I'm so impressed by them being so confident and comfortable playing after only a few hours in a new place, they're such brave kitties and MATN HQ is clearly such a warm and welcoming place for tiny fluffs! And Ted is being such a sweet, gentle big brother. I would though strongly encourage you to consider keeping them as indoor cats permanently, maybe some supervised outside time on a lead and harness. There are so many places online talking about the arguments against outdoor cats, so I'm not going to rehash it, but in brief, outside is a big, scary place for little cats, and it is entirely possible to meet all of a cat's needs and keep them fully engaged indoors, especially with sucha well equipped kitten nursery and them keeping each other company!
They CAN, but that doesn't mean they SHOULD. Cats love to go out and explore, it's in their nature. In fact, cats right to roam is protected in the UK. I would never force my cats outside if they didn't want to go, but also wouldn't make them stay in either.
@RufusOmega yes they should stay inside. its fine for them to be outside while youre watching them but letting your cats outside unsupervised is how you get dead cats.
@@skipsal100%! and its also how you get a lot of dead wildlife particularly birds. it is irresponsible on many levels to let cats outside unsupervised!
Genuinely delighted for you, Jon and Claire - seeing the three of them togetther, acting just so chill, is wonderful (and the shot at the end of Zena coming up and head-butting Ted was perfect - "it's OUR house now!").
Happy Anniversary MATN I have been subscribed since right after Bacon started her adventure. I would like to thank you for the countless hours of entertainment and quite a bit of helpful tips throughout the Fallout universe. I have bought at least 5 games that I watched you play that I had no idea even existed thanks for that as well.
I just adapted my first kitten ever, hes only 7 weeks old and looks and acts just like Willow! Very excited and nervous, and every time I look at him I think of your cat Tabby 😢
Loved getting to see the new additions to the family! Always happy to celebrate this channel, this will be my 10th year subscribed and can only hope for 10 more ❤
I have been watching this channel for many a true year. It was truly heartbreaking for me when you guys had to say goodbye to Tabby. She was such a big part of the channel, and you and Claire have always been very vocal about your love for animals. It was a most lovely and jubilant moment to bring Ted into the family... and I absolutely love the idea the now he has grown a bit, you felt confident he was ready for this step, the addition of Xena and Willow to your family is beautiful. Thank you very much for the video update. It made my day!
I'd like to think that Tabby had been watching over you three till the start of this year, when she said "Yea, it's time", and manifested herself in Willow. May the 5 of you live long and prosper!
Congratulations on both the anniversary and your new family members... welcome, Xena and Willow! And can we talk about how chill Ted looks now? It's so sweet to see him so happy and welcoming of his new friends.
Can't wait for next year when you try to make baked goods or some other thing that sorta resemble them. Happy 11th anniversary and congrats on the new additions! Glad everything is going smoothly with their introduction to the home.
Lovely video! They are adorable and so is your dog. Its so clear from the way you are talking how much you love your animals. Glad you have had a nice time welcoming them in and thanks for sharing. I needed just a wholesome video about kittens today :) ❤
Best Anniversary special ever! Great to see them all comfortable with each other. Looking forward to Xena and Willow joining in the livestreams in suprising and hilarious ways.
I was feeling a bit moody about my favorite team being eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs and this video is just what I needed. Cheers Jon and Claire!
Bloody lovely! So cute, the nest of Ted willow and xena is amazing. What an amazing effort those foster parents go through nursing those babies😢❤. Enjoy your new babies xx
Happy anniversary....been watching ever since a friend told me about some crazy guy trying to complete Fallout 3 on one health bar. Thanks for the years of entertainment!
Jon's cooking skills have really improved, these actually look like kittens, almost photorealistic.
He was trying to bake a pie!
Photorealism... bro he brought the cake to life
Nah, he bought them at the supermarket and is just passing them off as home-made.
He's been banned from even thinking about going in the kitchen ever since he tried to make himself a bowl of cornflakes unsupervised while Claire was at work, and they had to close the street.
Jon showing his age by saying "camera phone"
It cost me 4 shillings and sixpence.
@@ManyATrueNerd It was once owned by Lawrence of Arabia.
What do the kids call them nowadays?
Also the names "Xena" and "Willow" was a bit of a tell.
@@peterclarke7240 Phones.
The Kitten Nursery is just their base game and the rest of the house is a series of DLCs yet to come
It's the playpen from the start of Fallout 3, now they go round the Vault and later out into the wider world.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
And they're cats, so the war crimes will come naturally.
well at least not early access- Talking as a KSP fan....
Adding the kitten dlc meant that the house expansion zone needed patching before being opened up for play
About to have an existential crisis realizing how old this channel is and how long I’ve been watching it
Yuuuuuuuup
crazy to think ive been here for 7 years at this point. its actually so weird to think about man
Growing old is great, beats the alternative every time. 👍
I realized it's been nine years for me. My god.
Same, I started watching the kill everything fallout new vegas run about a few months after it aired in 5th grade, yikes
I'm hoping Claire made the phone calls (possibly on her phone camera) because I'm imagining Jon starting every call with a boisterous, "Good afternoon, animal shelter! I'm Jon, we're ready for many a new kittens" 😂
The image of Willow making biscuits right next to a snoozing Ted just made me squeal. They’re adorable!
7:43 We did get baking in anniversary special after all. Just look at Willow makin' them biscuits. ❤
I was waiting for Xena to jump on Ted from atop the box.
Me too! It'll probably happen at some point... :D
Wait till he gets the big neck tackle...
This story even had personal growth: Willow started off as being described as more timid and shy, and the video ends with her pouncing her sister and claiming pride of place beside Ted's tummy.
So nice that they're getting along with Ted the Deceiver, Lord of Liebradors.
I need to understand this name
@@elianas1121 They got a genetic test done on Ted and found out that he is actually not at all labrador. He's a mix of other things that makes him look just like a lab mix. Hence Liebrador.
@@DFAnton I did not know that. That's hilarious.
I might be remembering this incorrectly, but I'm pretty sure he turned out to be three spaniels and a bulldog in a trench coat. The labrador impression they create is truly impressive in how big a lie it is.
@@elianas1121 TL;DR: They thought Ted was a labrador, but he turned out to be some kind of weird boxer/spaniel mix that just looks very similar to a labrador... I think. It's been a while since I learned about Ted on stream so I'm a little fuzzy on the exact details.
Anyway, that's why we call him the Deceiver. He tricked us all into thinking he was a lab when he was actually a boxer!
Cheers to 11 years!! Pet the kitties for me!!!
Willow zonked out against Ted's belly at 7:10 is just adorable to me
I half expected Willow to be named Gabrielle.
I'd expect that to be Ted or dog meat lol
Same
sisters tho.....also Gabrielle was not timid pretty quickly into the show lol
Happy Caturday!
My 19 year old tabby passed this week, so kitten videos are a nice reminiscence.
Considering he during his lifetime he:
Chewed into an electrical cord and shocked himself,
Got trapped in a powered chair,
Got grabbed by an eagle and had to fight his way free,
survived 3 interstate moves without getting stressed or lost.
He had a pretty good run. Rest in peace Sparky.
I had a tear in my eye thinking about my black cat Molly who passed at 17 and a half last year. I saw her from being a newborn and her crazy antics had me in stitches. It's the first time we've not had a cat in the house for 25 years.
Did he get the name before or after the power cord incident?
@@timothy8428 after. :)
We are going to need a PetCam for every live stream from now on.
They don't hold still long enough for that...
@@ManyATrueNerdthat's when you get one of those cameras that attach to their collar so we can see what they're doing all the time.
@@ManyATrueNerd You don't know what you've done, Jon. You've created a monster.
Yes. Need Ted-Cam, Xena-Cam, and Willow-Cam for live streams.
@@ManyATrueNerd Stick a camera on the stairs, we'll see enough of Xena doing stair climbs.
I want to see them both do a playthrough of New Vegas in a few years.
Welcome to MATN HQ, Xena and Willow! Congrats on your new sisters, Ted! Happy 11 Years, Jon and Claire!
Ted is such a good big brother. I've made a donation in the name of Tabby MATN to my local rescue.
I bet this is Claire’s favorite anniversary as well since you didn’t destroy any of her utensils or cooking gadgets
Also as a massive Buffy fan I love that you named one Willow
Aww, so cute! Great toys you got them - they obviously love them!. Here's a donation to The MATK fund!
Watching this with my cat. These two shall carry on Tabby's legacy.
Yay to supporting your local shelters! I'm actually fostering a litter of 7 and their momma right now.
Kitten season just started where I live, and the shelters are overflowing.
Please consider fostering if you are able
Can't wait for Xcom 3 where Jon, Claire, Ted Tabby, and the many a true kittens are featured on a team
Kitten nursery? Did you mean MATN HQ tutorial area.

They are freaking adorable! Those images of all three the many a true pets snuggling up to one another is the best thing I saw today :)
It's so cute that Ted just wanted to be included. Cuddling with the kittens (mainly Willow) is adorable.

The view of the chilling next to each other is so adorable. Nice to see they get along so well.
Ted is the goodest of boys for being so chill with the kittens.
The dog and cats getting along that well just melts my heart.
So wild hearing 11 years and realizing I’ve been here for 10 of them 🫡😂
This is life goals. The amount of love and care dedicated to making sure all the animals were safe and happy. Every pet deserves humans as loving as Jon and Claire 😭❤️
Hi Jon! I love the new members of your gorgeous family
Hello Many A True Kittens!
This is quite possible the most adorable video ever made

You have been with me for so many stages of my life as I have grown up. Please keep going. I'm tearing up a little.

Happy 11th Anniversary, MATN!! Loved the video of the new additions! 🙂
Bloody lovely! So cute, the nest of Ted willow and xena is amazing. What an amazing effort those foster parents go through nursing those babies😢❤. Enjoy your new babies xx
You are a star, mate. Thanks for all the entertainment, and I really mean that.
Absolutely beautiful kittens! I grew up with a cat named Willow, loved her with all my heart ❤️ Heres to another 11 years!
Happy anniversary! Those two kittens are so cute! I look forward to seeing them in cake form…
Congratulations on 11 years MATN
I love them all so much. What a beautiful family.
Happy anniversary....been watching ever since a friend told me about some crazy guy trying to complete Fallout 3 on one health bar. Thanks for the years of entertainment!
I have an older tabby named Willow that looks a lot like yours! This is my favorite vid you've ever made!
The best anniversary video I could ever have asked for. So happy to see the matn family take in the newest members
Happy anniversary! The many a true menagerie is amazing! You’re all wonderful!
All the best to your family. The Xena: Warrior Princess intro clip at the end really punched up my already elevated-by-kittens dopamine level.
Happy 11 years! And here's to (at least) 11 more! 🎉
Congrats on the new kitties! Such cuties!
