    You have the most soothing, relaxing voice. And all of your babies look very happy and well cared for.

    Oh...they're definitely happy! What a nice relaxing time with the kitties! Each and every one of them was content, relaxed and happy! Seeing this video makes me happy too!

    My fav mythic bells video. Omg Kalahari’s expression when you tousled his fur. It was such a powerful message that the cats don’t worry too much about whether they are happy - so true. And a philosophy we should strive to emulate.

    I have been a cat person since I was a kid. I'm 42 now. I have had over 100 cats in my lifetime. I take care of about 30-40 ferals daily plus my own. I plan on (Lord willing) working with BIG CATS (Lions, Leopards, Cheetah's as well as hyenas). I love dogs and all animals. Trust me when I say this kind ladies cats are all VERY HAPPY AND CONTENT.

      Mr. Gentleman sure, go ahead.

    • @MythicbellsPersians
      @MythicbellsPersians  4 роки тому

      Mr. Gentleman I don’t find them like that at all ... Persians are known for their friendliness towards their humans. I find them very easy to live with ... they are playful and affectionate without being overly destructive nor over the top active like some other breeds... they ARE cats, though, not dogs. Which, of course, is why I have cats as opposed to dogs. I like their independence. However, having said all that, each kitty is an individual. Hopefully you will get a well socialize kitten and even then each kitty will be different ... they are also different as they mature .... just like people, you will see changes over time. I have several that never ever miss the opportunity he to cuddle with me in bed, while others never come up on the bed, but are perfectly friendly and sweet in their own way. If you have not liked the “cat personality” in the past, you my want to think about what’s best for you. Perhaps visit some friends who have cats, etc....

    I see so much unconditional trust, contentment and love in your kitties eyes and in their expressions they surely must be happy. Does Sequoia sleep in small sinks as a rule. She looks so relaxed and happy when she is pictured in a sink ( except the time she was in the sink having mud cleaned off her paws - too cute )

    Your cats are beautiful & definitely look happy and not wanting for anything. I have a white Chinchilla cat, Puff, similar to yours that is treated like a queen even though there are 2 Chihuahuas here. My husband talks for my cat & when the doorbell rings, he says 'for Puff' "that must be my ride out of here; where's my stuff."

    My Himalayan heard your voice as I began to watch this video, left her nap spot, came to look at my iPad, laid down beside me, began to purr and is still purring. I think she is very pleased with one of her Christmas gifts particularly. She likes to lay on a cardboard scratching pad from Cat Claws, so I got the wider one. I find her lounging on it daily. That pleases me.

    I always worry about my cat too, especially since he's almost 14 and has health issues. I agree with you regarding the stretching and the rolling on their backs. When Blucelee is unwell he won't engage in these behaviours, but when he's feeling happy his body language is open and relaxed.

    I love your happy cat video molly. Just like you, I have six kitties. And my day is consumed often by just giving so much love and devotion to them. Also just like you, I have a thing about keeping prestine kitty litter boxes. And I agree with you that all of us have good days and bad days. Many months ago I found that there was some tension between ollie and Wesley. I consulted my vet and we decided to try Feliway hormone diffuser. It worked like a charm and both of them are doing well together

    Thank you. I know us kitty lovers always worry about how happy our pets are. As for Nugget, she was so relieved when we took out that eye... she was in a lot of pain. Plus cats don't care about appearances like humans do.

  • @fablespinner
    @fablespinner 12 років тому

    I always find it pretty easy to tell the "mood" of my cats. (I have 4) Since they all have such different personalities when they are "out of the ordinary" per say I can tell. They'll let you know if they want to sulk and be left alone, or are in the mood to play, are sick, etc... Cats are as you say... Cats.

  • @MythicbellsPersians
    @MythicbellsPersians  12 років тому

    These things take time, and it varies a lot depending on the cats. Introducing adult female to adult female takes the longest. It could be a week or even a month or two. Actually if they are only doing the stare down/growl thing and will actually stay in the same room with each other in just 3 days, that's pretty good progress. Be patient and let them get to know each other on their own terms in their own time frame.

    I kiss my cat a lot and she gets upset but she still follows me around. I make sure to feed her and let her out on the patio when it's nice out. I play with her a lot, we play hide and seek. I'm really bad with brushing because she hates it so much. my mom said in order to have her we have to declaw her but it was when she was extemely young so she seems fine. I give her treats and she purrs quite a lot and chirps.

    • @MythicbellsPersians
      @MythicbellsPersians  8 років тому +2

      Thank you. In 2004, I switched my "then" cats (3 Persians) to a raw meat diet. At the time those cats were over 10 years old. Back then, you mainly had to make your own. That same year, I got two kittens (the two oldest kitties in this video who are now almost 12 years old - 2016). All the cats in this video were raised on the raw diet from kitten hood and two of them from birth. Kittens born here were all weaned directly onto a raw meat diet. Now, In 2016, there are more commercially available raw feline diets. They get about half commercially prepared and half I prepare myself.

    • @MythicbellsPersians
      @MythicbellsPersians  8 років тому +1

      I'm not sure which toys you are seeing. Their favorites, of course are just boxes and crumpled pieces of paper. But I can't resist picking up some at the pet store. Amazon.com is also a great source for cat toys ... especially the catnip bananas... I do get some toys there.

    Hi,
    I read you have your kitty’s on a raw diet. What kind of foods do you give them? I also have a Persian cat who I would like to feed raw foods to but unsure which ones

    • @MythicbellsPersians
      @MythicbellsPersians  5 років тому

      Where are you located? I feed mine from several sources delivered frozen to my door. You can also try the freezer section of your pet stores for brands such as "Primal" and "Instinct" ... a lot of people also make their own, but I wouldn't suggest that unless you have a good recipe and are motivated ... however it tends to be the least expensive.

    • @shaiannenguyen5542
      @shaiannenguyen5542 5 років тому

      Mythicbells I’m from Texas but would love to make my own. Do you have any recipe recommendations?

    • @MythicbellsPersians
      @MythicbellsPersians  5 років тому

      Yes! I started out with a recipe based on the information on this website. I trust the recipe(s) and my cats did well on it. The website has been revised and updated since I used it so I can't be more specific. It's basically the same but with choices of bone in vs bone out. Good luck. www.catnutrition.org/

  • @MythicbellsPersians
    @MythicbellsPersians  11 років тому

    This is common question. Basically I don't think it matters as long as they are spay/neutered. Females on average are a bit more independent, while males may be bit more clingy/affectionate. Many want females because they are afraid that males will spray. This is a silly reason not to get a male. ALL pets should be spay/neutered and BOTH males and females can end up spraying, but it's rare in spay/neutered cats as long as they don't get stressed out (usually due to too many cats).

    i guess you can kind of see it from the perspective of humans, that people are for the most part 'happy', even if they live in 'difficult' states. and that only when their freedoms are restricted, and their vital routines somehow undermined and restricted, controlled to undermine and subdue them, do people or humans become 'unhappy'. maybe cats, animals in general are the same. that without grave restrictions, cats are happy, just like humans.

    That's excellent news on the Feliway diffuser. I keep several going in my house (for the last 8 months), but I honestly can't say whether or not I'm wasting money. It doesn't *seem* to be much different ... I have same tensions between the same cats. I read an analogy: if you had 6 - 8 humans living together, how would that be going? I think my cats are doing better than I would. I would have likely killed one or two of my 7 roommates by now.
