Saying "cats do not care about their owners" due to their behaviors is like saying "introverts do not care about having friends" due to _our_ relatively asocial behaviors.
omg what is with people and their fear and discrimination of the color black. first is the fear of black cats then its the discrimination of black people!
they can, if they get complete food that's packaged by some brands. cats with a lot of allergies don't have a choice but to eat that. however, you should not go ahead and just give them vegetables. there are a lot of things to look out for, for example taurin has to be there otherwise they will die.
I would totally agree with you giving cats a completely vegetarian or vegan diet or even gluten free is both downright cruel immoral harmful unnatural animal consciousness is different to human consciousness if as a human I chose not to eat meat as from tomorrow its my responsibility to find protein alternatives in fruit and vegetables both felines and canines are carnivores whether domestic or wild humans are omnivores it could be almost as dangerous feeding vegan foods to felines or canines as it was to feed meat to herbivores such as cattle or sheep etc any vegan or vegetarian who feeds cats or dogs only vegetarian foods are in my view hypocritical as they were the ones moaning about farming industries being greedy and feeding cattle meat products causing thousands of cows to be destroyed and incinerated while it maybe OK to sometimes give your pet cat or dag the occasional treat from the owners own dinner plate as long as in moderation and proper cat food is always given for cats and proper dog food is given to dogs in addition cats may occasionally eat grass this is if they feel unwell or have upset stomach the grass helps the bring up food either by vomiting it out or pooing it out grass probably to some extent works similar to kaolin for humans and absorbs toxins although not sure on science of how grass affects cats if eaten furthermore cats will chew or eat catnip treats but again this only a treat not their whole diet
Believe it or not In Scotland the myth about black cats is completly reversed. I used to believe they brought good luck simply by crossing my path. I was happy when one did so there you go.
One time I was having a moment and I started to cry, a lot, and my cat came in my room and sat with me until I stopped And a different time, my bedding was being washed and I had to use thin blankets, and my room is in the basement so it’s really cold and my other cat came in and later with me to keep me warm Tell me again that they don’t care
@@ericolens3 if you paly a lot with a cats with your hands they can start to see your hands and other hands ass toys. also don't try to over stimulate the cat it's like a energy bomb the more energy you put into the cat the more it winds up, use a toy a few times a day to play with the cat and don't go after the cat let the cat come to you. these are tips so the cat stops cratching
Last winter there was this feral cat who hung out around my apartment complex. Me and my husband would feed him, and he eventually started coming inside, and would wait by the door until we got home. One time I stayed home from work with a really bad cold, and he slept with me on the couch all day.
It's true unfortunately that black cats are often not adopted from shelters as much as other colours. But one person who worked at a shelter put the black cat's name down as Jellybean. This raised a lot of interest and the cat was adopted the same day. After this the worker put down the name Jellybean for all the black cats and they got adopted as much as the others. What a clever idea.
I had a black cat named Marvin.. He was awesome. For three years. Born in 2004. The last year he wanted to be an indoor and outdoor cat. He got lost in late 2007, for four years... then one night I found him out back in early 2012. He must have found a new home but he came up to me like he never forgot me. Was a great feeling.
I've always adopted black cats. I think, for the past twenty years, I've enjoyed the company of four. I have one now and when she has to go on and I'm still around I'll adopt another.
This was also true of sea faring civilizations. Wasn't till the rise of religions and the stigma of witches did the black cat start getting the bad rap for nothing.
No one can tell me cats don't care. My first one woke my roommate one night when I was sick in the bathroom, and my second one "guarded" me as I recovered from surgery in the Living Room. The one I have now isn't a cuddler, but she does it when I'm not feeling well.
Terri V Agreed. I had a bad case of food poisoning not long ago and I went to bed and found all 3 of my cats laying on top of me in the morning. They know when something isn't right.
Cats care. When I was little one summer I was sleeping in the afternoon. My mom was boiling meatballs and forgot about them and left to visit my grandmother in the hospital. Almost the entire house filled with smoke and before it reached my room my cat licked my lips and woke me up. She saved my life.
One day I had a bit of a breakdown and both of my kittens just lay by my side, (my kittens are *insane* they don’t sit still for long) so yeah, there you go
Idk maybe traumatic experiences??? My aunt once had a rather mean spirited cat named Nubia. Before this I had never tried to pet her or interact with her up close. So one day we visited my aunt's house and I wanted to get over my fear of her so I walked over to her and attempted to pet her. My hand immediately got attacked so I hated cat's for a while. That is until I went over my friends house and met her adorable kitten, midnight. She was the sweetest little love bug I stg and so I decided that not all cat's are mean as fuck.
when my sister passed away three years ago, I got home from work and sat on the sofa, crying. Within two minutes, all five cats were rubbing around me, nuzzling me, or cuddling close. They knew and cared I was sad.
My first cat was a black cat and he was so handsome--the best luck i ever had was him. Sergeant Patrick Harper was his name and he was my baby boy. I loved him and i am so thankful i was his owner. unfortunately i found him dead June 12 2015. Though he is gone, he is not gone from my heart.
I don't think anyone actually believes that cats have more than one life. I think the "nine lives" thing came from their ability to get out of situations that other animals can't. It comes from their agility and speed, not a sense that they actually get reincarnated. I think we need a video titled, "Old Sayings that People Shouldn't Take Literally."
I totaly agree, I was also surprised with the "black cats bring missfortune" and "cats don't always fall on their feel" like I guess there are people who believe in superstition, but I didn't feel like this video had the right title, not many people actually believe it and the "cats always fall on their feet" was also a stupid one because they actually should always land on their feet, it doesn't happen when the cat has a disorder or when a factor makes it inpossible for them to land on their feet (like falling too low to the ground or being hit by something in mid air) it's so logical I think it is stupid to place it in this video
Actually, I think it comes from their ability to play possum when injured. They go into a catatonic state, that's where the word "catatonic" comes from, you think they're dead. but they're not they're just unconscious. 😺🐱
@@conniee. I had heard once that it comes from the fact that they could shape-shift from a witch 8 times, but if they did it a ninth time they would forever remain a cat.
Yeah, they often are very sweet.I have a black girl at the moment as she looks after my other 2 boys who are brothers but not her kittens, she even fed them when she was younger and entire.They are 2 and 3 years old now and she still mothers them and catches food for them(not that they go hungry,she prefers game over tinned food!) because they're both extremely useless hunters.
My husband grew up with a black cat named Eclipse. Eclipse used to sit on the newspaper my FIL would read because he wanted pets, lol. I have one named Luna. Luna loves LOTS of play time.
@@dunxy My inlaws had an orange and white cat named Scotty. Scotty would stalk deer with his tail in the air. My MIL would always ask him what he was going to do once he got the deer, lol. "Yep, Scotty, the deer doesn't see that bright orange and white tail. Not at all.".
I'd be screwed if black cats brought bad luck. I own three and two follow me around everywhere. The shelter near me wont sell black cats around halloween cause people kill them.
That's sad. We have 3 black cats and my house ( only one is mine) and one of the reasons we like them so much is because of the fact they are the last to get adopted and tell first to get put down
caitlin anderson I sincerely wish the most miserable, slow and cruel death possible to anyone who takes an innocent cat and kills them for no reason. I have a black cat and im getting a little triggered right now. Fuck this world.
There are videos on youtube of owners leaving home and their cats cry for about a half hour. I went in my basement once and I could hear my cat crying upstairs, very disturbing. I don't like to think about it when I leave the house.
It is indeed a common belief. And, it really is true that toxoplasmosis, if indeed your cat does have it, then it is a danger for a pregnant woman. So it isn't entirely a myth.
People just over-exaggerate when it comes to pregnant women and pets. I had some people try and tell me to tell my boyfriend that we would have to get rid of the cats because I'm pregnant but I do my own research and ask questions and found out I only need to avoid cleaning their litter so since I found out I was pregnant I havent touched their litter box unless I need to vacuum around the area because of litter spilling outside of the box
Cats are not allergic to milk, they are lactose intolerant. Milk allergy is an allergy to either casein or whey in milk and causes hives, breathing problems and other allergy related problems. Lactose intolerance is the body's inability to digest lactose and causes various digestive issues. Thought I'd clear that up.
Tim LaRocco What annoys me is I'm genuinely allergic to milk and when I tell people that I get "oh, you're lactose intolerant?" In my case, the consequences of this misinformation can be much more severe.
Yes, they still shouldn’t be fed milk, but what you are saying is true. This can be detrimental for people who actually suffer an allergy because many brands will say “lactose free” but that simply means they have extracted the lactose from the milk, and the product still contains milk. This can really make someone get hurt if they have an issue to whey or casein.
#7 is partially true. While cats are solitary HUNTERS, they aren't solitary SOCIALLY. When left to their own devices, stray and feral cats naturally form "colonies", where there's safety in numbers. Also, queens will get help from others in raising their kittens. The problem with comparing cat and dog behavior isn't so much in the whole "pack versus solitary" debate, it's over their comparative roles in the ecosystem. Dogs are descended from wolves, an apex predator; cats are descended from wildcats, a non-apex predator. Dogs can afford to be over the top and obvious with their social cues; cats are more subtle, because excess barking and lots of bouncing and motion might draw the attention of a passing predator. For example, dogs show that they like someone by bouncing and wagging their tail and licking them and just generally acting hyper and excited when they see them; cats communicate the same thing by laying on them, turning their backs to them, or slow-blinking in their presence. All of those are signs of great trust, if not affection, in cats; but if you don't know what you're looking at, you might miss it.
Pixel Fox To take your analogy further... Domestic cats in large numbers actually form prides like lions. It's also been observed that the members of these prides act like their large orange counterparts. Females band together to protect the young from the males that want to kill them, etc.
Similar to some reptiles, like crocs, garter snakes and komodo dragons. All hunt on their own, but they do often come together (mainly because of food or mating)
@@AmelieW. LMAOOO, everytime I have my kitten in my room with me, and it gets dark asf. I can't even see her, like I probs gonna step on her 😭😭 I accidentally stepped on her tail once
After about 17 years of owning various cats, I had the privilege this year to adopt a black cat. He is the most affectionate and snuggly cat I have ever owned. Am blessed to have him, and will definitely adopt as many black cats as I can in the future!
Boxes, bags,jacket sleeves,cat nip,temptations cat treats,shoes,closet shelves, videos about cats...my cats love Thunderdome movie.I love kitties, they are so easy to please and get spool happy.
ashwadhwani did you know 8 out of 10 cats in rescue centers in the uk are black. I found my cat when she was a kitten inside a car engine. We think she was abandoned by a breader
People don't bother to clip their cats claws, then get mad at them for clawing everything. They think those claws magically stay one length on their own.
I try but then my cat claws the ever-loving crap out of me. I even tried rewarding her. Fortunately, she only goes for the couch if she's trying to tell me to pay attention to her.
I clipped my cats claws once, and once only. Later that day she jumped up to her cat tower, grabbed with her newly-trimmed claws, couldn't get a grasp and ate s£!t. Did not land on her feet. She has sharp annoying needle-feet, but I'll take it over risking her injuring herself. Not nearly as graceful as one would presume.
We recently rescued a black cat. For years I’ve always wanted one because of how gorgeous they are. He is the most cuddly, hyper and adorable kitten in the world.
coladict I wish it was only twice a day. If we don't take the darn lab out every 3 to 4 hrs she poos on the floor. Dogs are way too much maintenance for me. The darn dog has to be monitored more than my children. Sorry but my kids come first. And that's a couple if reasons why I perfer cats.
I prefer having a cat over a dog because this is the case. Also, they make less noise, don't jump on people comming home to visit and they usually have a weaker smell than dogs have.
I know, right? That's more a figure of speech, because cats are very tough and resilient, and will manage to survive in some really dangerous circumstances. No one thinks cats are respawning like video game characters when they die.
Some cats have multiple loves, they usually don't just stick to one partner and "reproduce" with multiple cats (I know ge meant lives, but I just wanted to joke about him writing "love")
well cats dont mate for life, so they can have nine or more loves in their life. also the owner can have a family of nine or maybe nine pets in house, so cats can have nine loves.
without the red cone, they wouldn't see it as red, but would still be able to see it. It would probably look like a grey dot moving around. I have talked to a colorblind person who was colorblind to green. He said he saw green as shades of grey, so he had no real way of knowing it was green. I imagine it would be the same or similar for animals who are unable to see a certain color.
My black cat named maui. He is the sweetest cat i've ever know. I love him so much. Its so sad he just died through accident. It really broke my heart knowing he' s not around anymore.
I actually like black cats more. They're usually more friendly, I had a really creepy looking black cat who liked to follow me around when I was a small kid, she was actually larger than me at the time because she had really long legs tail and body. Too bad she suddenly disappeared, she was my best friend for so long, I learnt to parkour just chasing after her whenever she got bored. Heck, I could walk on railings at the time.
Black cats do in fact bring bad luck. 1. When you're walking down a dark path you can potentially trip over them and hurt both you and them 2. (Hopefully this goes for ALL cats though), they bring bad luck to your wallet from spoiling them rotten :) 3. You can get mugged for food at 3:00 A.M. 4. _they steal your socks_ This is just based off of my encounters with Mr. Whiskers, a stray black kitty who was left behind when his family moved from the neighborhood. I've already got a furball of my own, otherwise I'd take him in. Right now I'm in the process of trying to get him to the no-kill shelter so he can get his shots and get cleaned up so he can find a new, better family who hopefully won't leave him.
I had an all black kitten for a while back in like 2010/2011. One time, I had a pile of laundry on the floor that I was folding, and I have a lot of black clothes. I got up to go do something, and she hid herself in the black clothes and waited for me to walk by again so she could get me.
My black girl Lacey is very self sufficient and rarely hassles me for food unlike my 2 boys.She keep self impeccably clean and keeps the boys clean as they're infact useless.She is also queen mouser and takes care of all the rats around the place.She often doesn't eat her daily tin of fancy feast and instead leaves it for the boys, she prefers to catch her food.She most definitely not underweight either, she a little barrel!
I would only point out two things: feeding a cat vegetables can be as harmful as giving them milk (cats are strict carnivores, unlike dogs); and while dogs and cats can get along, dogs are still one of the top killers of cats. Don't just put a cat (or even worse a kitten) with a dog and think they'll be alright together.
Death - Cats often eat grass to help them vomit up hairballs. Many times I've had cats who've gone out, eaten grass, and thrown up hair a few minutes later.
That’s true! I’m vegan, but I’d dare never make another species eat my kind of diet. I would make sure they are eating a well healthy, balanced diet that fits their needs. Cats should be fed meat/meat-based products. They have certain nutrients their body can’t make and need it from meat, unlike humans. That’s horrible to force another species to succumb a diet that they aren’t fit for.
Black cats are super, super cuddly little love bugs. Also, cats in feral colonies will take care of each other and nurse the kittens of other mommas. They're not necessarily solitary. They just need it proven to them over a period of a few months that even with this other cat in their home, they will still get fed.
Alice Bones , I fed 22 homeless kitties tonight. 11 of them in one location. That gang all know each other, they hang out together, and some of them are good buddies :)
It's also a common misconception that cats cannot climb _down_ trees. Have you ever seen a cat skeleton up a tree? Of course not. The cat climbed down. It may have had a bit of hesitation, but it found a way.
They tend to climb up places then meow for attention because A. they're lazy, B. they're showoffs and C. it will probably hurt a bit when they jump so it's easier to just get the fire brigade.
My cat climbed up a ridiculously tall tree, screamed at me for half an hour, then climbed down. Sometimes they get stuck, but 9/10 times they’re just being weird.
@@warriorcatskid003 I'd love to know what that's about. My cat yells at me when he gets to the top of the stairs like he wants me to carry him down, except he HATES being picked up. It is definitely weird.
Hi I'm Katie we as well have a cat( black on top of that) with only one eye, her name's Pita, and we have another black cat, Nala, born without a developed tail, it's just a nub, both shelter rescues
I own a black cat and I love him to pieces! He’s goofier than any other cat I’ve met. He loves giving cat kisses and sleeps anywhere in my bedroom. I adopted him from a rescue and have never regretted my decision.
My father and sister are lactose intelerant i'm not lactose intolerant. same with cats, some cant some can. Humans and animals are INDIVIDUAL creatures with EACH individual intelerances of certain things
um, okay, just because an animal eats something and doesn't die right after, doesn't mean it's not unhealthy, I bet you think the same about giving dogs chocolate, you probably think that's healthy too...idiot
You are not alone, more than half the population cannot digest milk. It’s perfectly normal. Some people can tolerate it more, but ultimately it’s just not good for us.
Have you tried convincing them that fur color doesn't mean evil or bad luck? It's honestly kinda racist to cats that black cats mean bad luck and white cats mean good luck.
Just wanted to add something here. While black cats certainly had a bad reputation back in the middle ages, ALL cats were considered evil. People would gather around churches and cheer as cats were tossed to their deaths from the roof. This was such a frequent occurence in Europe that the population of cats nose-dived during that time, so much so that's it's linked to the Black Plague being able to spread as far as it did. Vermin carrying the disease, with no cat to hunt them down, became overabundant and infested streets and homes more than ever, taking the plague everywhere with them. So yeah, superstitious believes backfired big time...
Alita Berserker #99 That’s not true, people like cats especially farmers as they helped with rat/mice problems. I don’t know where you heard that but it’s definitely not true.
With regular vet care, love, attention, diet, exercise, etc. your cats can live as long as mine did and are. Oliver was 20 when we helped him over the rainbow bridge after arthritis set in. Sylvester was 19 when we helped him cross over, too. Cancer is a cruel disease. Mr. Punkin and Sox are each 10 years old now and as frisky as kittens. ALL 4 are and were a joy to be around and have given us 20 years of unconditional love and a butt load of entertainment!!!
Cats can also see ultraviolet. When you put on sunscreen, it may be invisible to you but to your cat, you will look a little strange, as if your face and body have paint on them.
Black cats are the most affectionate creatures I've ever experienced. They are so beautiful and majestic. I have had the privilege of enjoying many years with black cats, and other colors, but my current black cat Whisper, is one of the most loving cats I've ever had. He loves me so much and I can't imagine my life without him. Cats rock!
I have a black kitten. He is the sweetest thing and loves cuddles so much. I didn’t even realize how little black cats are adopted until the shelter workers almost cried when my husband and I wanted him. He’s only been with us a couple weeks but he’s just been the best boy! So glad we adopted him!
If you look on a package of litter, usually there will be warnings of toxoplamosis. which pregnant women can possibly get if they come into direct contact with the feces of cats. Its not neccesarily a myth, because it is possible, but most indoor cats dont carry the disease anyways.
Every time I change my hair color, my cats are scared of me. I have to chase them down, and talk to them. To show them that I'm the same person , that I was before I colored my hair. I have twin British Bombay sisters.
I find it odd that cats can't see red or pink, because when I was a little girl we had this beautiful Long fured black cat and there was this Hot pink pillow, She would sit on Knowing she like good.
Perhaps their was a certain scent on it that comforted her and she rested there to keep herself calm. Like a familiar scent from when she was a kitten, the type of detergent/fabric softener/ dryer sheets u used, or maybe even someone used the pillow too and she liked their scent.
Also cats are very sensitive to where they sleep I read before they will clean off their favorite spots so perhaps it could also be the texture of the pillow.
Thank god for someone speaking sense about cats!! I used to have 9 cats! 3 British Shorthair and six Burmese. Then Dec 13th 2016 my oldest Brit age 15 decided her time had come and wanted to join her twin who died age 9. Eight days later my 4 year old Burmese girl developed Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) due to Taurine deficiency. When cat food was first made public there was no Taurine and cats died. humans need it too but we can make it from the various foods we eat and turn it into different peptide chains to make Taurine. Cats can't and like us they need it for myocardial (heart ) muscle. Her cardiologist recommended euthanasia, I couldn't agree, so we left it that we would make a decision later that day. My little one fought hard to live and surprised everyone by coming home on 7 different types of medication. The cardiologist was sceptical as he thought even he couldn't cope giving a small cat this many tablets. She was the size of a 4 month kitten, always was a little one. I had worked as an anaesthetic nurse in a human operating theatre and used everything I ever learned to nurse her. I stayed up every night for 6 months feeding her hourly, brining the water bowl to her. she was so weak because of the enlarged heart and being on diuretics (water pills) to drain excess fluids from her body. I'd count her reparations in a human around 20 is normal, in a cat 20-40 is normal. I'd check her paws to see how her peripheral circulation was. Kept her by the radiator, it was winter in Scotland. She was fussy over what she ate. I found myself cooking her bacon at 4am, so desperate was I to make her eat. I'd make her baby porridge - cat milk plus human baby porridge oats dried and whisk them up so they frothed and microwaved them for around 20 seconds until warm, just as a babies bottle. I have adorable photo's of my little one with her porridge face! At her 6month check with her cardiologist he was amazed, her heart muscle had repaired it's self about 98% he had only ever encountered one other cat in 15 years that had done the same! much to my amazement he hugged me and kissed my cheek saying the only reason she was still here was because of me???? I just did what any other owner would do ? 3 months later out of the blue all the glands in her neck became swollen. Her vets thought it was Lymphoma bur every test came back negative. They even took her popliteal gland (humans have the same) behind the knee, too dangerous to take from the neck - it's so vascular. Even it came back negative. She became unwell and sore when i picked her up (pain in chest area) she spent a weekend at the vets hospital, got her home for one night and she was back in with a desperation rate of 49 (remember I said 20-40 normal for cat) she had fluid in her lungs, there was talk of a chest drain to remove fluid, but the diuretics (water tablets) worked and she stayed there another two nights as she was to see her cardiologist later that week. On the day he called and said she looked good that was am, by 13.30 I got a call to say get here PDQ, her right heart has stopped working, kidneys shut down and other organs are following fast. When I got there he got my husband to hold her and he hugged me. She was struggling to breathe, but he said she calmed down a bit when i got there. She looked so ill, one of her pupils had delated and I held her when she got the injection to stop her suffering. I was told my voice was the last thing she heard and I told her how much I loved my best ever poppet. I told him after that last time she was home she ate some litter, it's called PICA and he said the tumour that appeared out of nowhere must have entered her brain. I should also say that all my other cat looked after her too, they washed and groomed her, kept her warm and if she was incontinent of urine when 1st home they washed her tail end too. They loved her as well. It's only been a few months and I miss her and weep for her often. My cats come and curl unto me when I cry. They are such amazing animals and for as ill as my best poppet was after her first few months on the Taurine she was her usual self, chasing the others , feisty, nipping at the heels of the youngest cat who was 3 years at the time. She just loved life.
Lin Joy, just reading your post brought many a tear, it also brought back memories of when one of my cats died due to cancer. You were told she was looking good just hours later, she had passed - I can't even begin to imagine how that felt. We tried chemotherapy in an attempt to save Marble, I had to get a taxi back from the vet with him after his first round. The driver asked why he'd been to the vet & when I told him he berated me all the way home about spending all that money on a cat when there women living in remote villages who can't afford to feed their families. Fair point maybe but I was too worried about Marble to argue back so I just pointed out that as far as I was concerned he was a member of my family & I was gonna do anything within my power to try to save him. I left that taxi without tipping the driver that day. Sadly, the cancer Marble had was too aggressive, the first two rounds of chemo seemed to be shrinking it but after that, it looked like the damn thing was feeding off it & getting bigger. I made sure he wasn't suffering, he spent his last few days in the back garden where he seemed happy, I held his food bowl in a position where he could eat lying on the grass if he wanted & bought special cat wipes to clean him which he seemed to enjoy. He lost his fight for life on the 5th August 7 years ago, he jumped up on my son's lap, meowed once & then he was gone. I'd just had 8 days off work with him, he died the day I went back. Somebody told me not long after, he had probably waited for me not to be there as he knew I'd be too upset. People who have never experienced being owned by a cat just don't realise the effects they have on your life. As I told that horrible taxi driver that day, don't have an animal unless you're willing to make it part of the family. For me, the pain of losing him was made worse to see the other two cats looking for him everywhere for the best part of a week - how do you explain to a cat that their little pal isn't coming back? Those two cats are still with me, I miss Marble a lot but I need to make the most of the time they have left with me. The more timid one of the two made my newly empty lap her own, which helped. You did your best to save your little furball, sadly it just wasn't meant to be. Cats leave pawprints on your heart.
Anita Mason Thank you for your kind words. I’m sorry that you’ve been through a similar experience. There are some people who just don’t understand that a cat or any other pet is part of the family. I tell people who question what I’ve done trying to save my little poppet ( that’s not her name, just a term of endearment I gave her) that to my husband and I that all our cats are just the same to us as though they were human children. They then see in a different light (I hope) that as a child one would do anything to make them better again, even if it meant selling all our possessions. Money means nothing in comparison to the love received from our babies. All in all we spent around £8,000 for her care and not one single penny was grudged. As I mentioned I’d give every material possession I own just to have her in my arms for another 5 minutes. I’m sure you feel the same about your puss. What I didn’t write at the time when I posted my comments that she also developed an eye problem ( it was unrelated to her enlarged heart). it’s called a Corneal Sequestrum ( not quite the correct spelling) it’s the layer of skin under the Cornea that has died and grows out. It takes about 6 months. No one knows what causes it and only cats and horses get it. So apart from all her medication she had eye drops 4 times a day too. I know exactly what you wrote about your pusses searching the house for the cat who had died. The day before she died we have two of our cats attending fat busters ( that’s what my husband calls it, just his version of Weight Watchers for cats) luckily for us our Vet Hospital allowed us once our two fat cats got weighed to spend time with our poppet in a quiet room where she was staying and got to spend an hour with her. To the two cats that were with us were delighted to see her they were grooming her rubbing their faces on her head, she was equally happy to see them. I have reminders of her all around my home she totally loved chewing anything wooden in the house. I’m sure she thought herself a dog! I just miss her so much. There is a poem, I don’t know if you’ve heard of it. It’s called “The Rainbow Bridge” it’s sad but brings hope. Best wishes.
I have had a black cat before, with a ginger cat, both of them born in my apartment's basement and getting starved by thier mother. In fact thier whole bach was getting starved. I took them in and named them Sam(ginger cat) and Strider(black cat). We never knew exactly what gender Strider was because she (we think she is a she now since she looked pregnent right before we let them go) was always feral. Sam had his trust given to me, but Strider hated all humans. Once, though, I tried to pet her with a toy, she was angery and scared at first, but then she let it pet her. Pretty soon I was petting her without her knowledge. When she looked, she was shocked for a bit, but then licked my hand! After a few hours, she curled up next to me and slept next to me!!!! I gained her trust... then she woke up a bit later and it seemed like she forgot about that whole moment... oh well.
Cats have a very limited scope of human vocabulary. My cat looks right at me when I talk to him and it's just a noise. He just meows at me. Cats are not "dogs with a bad attitude." They just don't understand words.
Black is my favorite color and when looking for a cat to adopt I wanted a black one more than anything. I recently got an all black kitten. Lmao sometimes I can’t see her sleeping on my all black sheets.
Sadly I've heard so many people saying that cats are aloof, stand-offish and only interested in the food given to them. Having grown up with cats and shared my home with cats most of my adult life I can say that if you show love to a cat it will return that love with interest. A good example was one of our cats - 'Pollux' (he had a brother called Castor) who would greet me at the door when I came home from work. He wanted to be picked up and cuddled, and he would purr his head off. He would follow me around and would lie on my chest, gazing into my face!
Seriously I found an abandoned kitten less than a week old, fed him Kitten Milk Replacement with a doll baby bottle plus liquid vitamins. People told me he would not survive. He grew into a big beautiful cat and lived to be 17 years old!
I totaly agree, I am aslo so happy this channel told me that black cats don't really bring bad luck. I totaly thought I was about to die when I saw that one black cat once... so informative. Now I only need to watch out for opening an umbrella indoors, running underneath a ladder and breaking a mirror. Also, if it wasn't for this channel, I wouldn't know that if I threw a cat back first to the ground (10cm fall) it wouldn't magically turn to his feet in 0.1 seconds... like I totally tought its feet would teleport to the other side of his body or something like that...
I have a black cat, a tortoiseshell and a grey cat. Out of all 3, the black cat is the sweetest, gentlest most polite cat I've ever met. She never bites, greets us if she's in the front yard when we come home, and waits patiently for her food (she's more well-mannered than some people I know!). She even happily greets the other two cats when she comes in and even gives the dog face rubs and smooches. She's very affectionate and even quirky. She's a beautiful little kitty and I love her so much. She's my precious little fur baby!
I have a black cat too. His name is Jimmy. He has a little white spot on his collar, and two going down his belly. As a result, he always looks like he’s going to the opera.
I rescued a shelter kitten years ago and later discovered she loved corn on the cob. I volunteer at the local shelter (please help and volunteer wherever you live). People frequently come in and look to adopt black cats. Play music for your cats. This is one of the best entertainment you can provide your cats whether they are alone or have roommates. It is definitely stimulating them. I even play it at the shelter where the cats there need socialization. They all love it.
We adopted our cat Medb when she was 5 months old. She is a black cat and was listed as "shy". I went to her cube and she reacted to me as if she had been living with me for ages practically saying "Dad get me out of here!". Anyway we started her on what I refer to as a high protein neurological diet designed to encourage intelligence. Thus far she comes to her name, will beg for food when I tell her to say please, if I say brush she will present her sides and back for grooming, and when I say "birdie" she will get into position to chase a LASER dot. She follows me everywhere and watches me when I prepare dinner almost as if she needs the skills for when she is reincarnated as a human. ;-) She is so bright behind her eyes that one wonders if she is really more human than cat.
John Brandolini That's amazing! I love that look in their eyes as if they are more aware than others. Really does make you wonder. My black kitty is not as well trained but he seems to be legitimately trying to listen to me when I speak to him, while my other two sorta just have the "huh?" look all the time haha.
It's a survival trait. Cats and dogs depend on us for their existence and will do anything to ensure their survival. One of those efforts is the ability to communicate their needs to us. Most pet owners judge us as eccentric when we talk to our cats or dogs but what they don't realize is that both parties are learning each others "language". Dogs and cats are hamstrung when it comes to verbal communication since they don't have the same number of muscles in their mouths or their tongues to articulate words; although, our late cat Kerry did her best to call my wife by her name, Margaret when she wanted dinner. What most cat and dog lovers fail to realize is that most of their companions communications skills are through body language. Even your other two cats may surprise you with their non-verbal skills. Cats are a lot smarter than people give them credit for unfortunately they are consistently measured against their canine cousins who were bred for obedience. And to reiterate what I said in my first post part of the problem with encouraging intelligence in cats is the lack of a protein rich diet in their youth. A high protein diet leads to the formation of a highly convoluted cortex in cats (and dogs and other mammals) which leads to higher intelligence. Unfortunately, according to a Tufts study on longevity in mice, leads to a shorter life span.
I had a phenomenal cat who lived outdoors and was in my life from 2 years old and passed away at 22. She was jet black and so happy, friendly and affectionate. She did dissapear for 2 days when I was 8, she had climbed up a very tall tree and didn't have the courage to descend. My father opened up his arms and coaxed her down. It didn't take her long to descend and then jump into his arms. She had complete trust in him as she was truly loved by our family.
In my country, it's more traditionally believed that cats got 7 lives. And for you who said no one believe cats got multiple lives, some traditional people do. There's even a myth in my country to not let a cat get near a dead body, because some people said (or lied or told, who knows?) that when a cat gets near a dead body, the dead would be resurrected for a mere second before going dead again. Because the cat actually inadvertently gave one of its lives to the dead. That myth sure is very interesting when you want to make a fantasy story...
I wasn’t a cat fan at one time, and my partner brought home a stray kitten. I told him I was getting a puppy, so I got a Labrador/Pit and the kitten and puppy were the best of friends. The kitten won me over when I was very ill and the little kitten climbed up on the bed and laid on my chest purring until my fever broke. I believe cats are amongst the most intuitive and spiritual creatures.
Just own a cat..and heard a ridiculous myth about having cat.. My colleague said owning a cat can cause Asthma.. this is just weirdest myth I heard about cats🐱😆
Gayatri Buswal yeah that's a new one for me. Cats themselves don't cause asthma, but cat (or animal hair in general) hair can trigger asthma attacks just like dust, certain plants, cigarette smoke, or overexertion can.
It's stupid that people believe black cats are something bad. I had a black smokey cat for 15 years, sweetest boy ever and now I have another fully black kitten. I love black cats, they look amazing with their dark fur and often yellow eyes
Saying "cats do not care about their owners" due to their behaviors is like saying "introverts do not care about having friends" due to _our_ relatively asocial behaviors.
Exactly! I actually really love talking to people it's just hard, and tires me out physically.
People are stupid and closed-minded.
A.J. Engelhorn ikr. If that were true then you wouldn't hear stories about how a cat saved a human family member
*facepalm* I _know_ antisocial behavior... I'm not necessarily antisocial at all. I'm very _asocial_ (non-social) much of the time, however.
I do love to have friends and hang out, but I’m too shy and I spend too much time by myself ;-;
Black cats are jut as awesome as other cats. Some people can be so stupid.
I have a black and white cat... I've named him MJ ;)
My cats black and white i call him mixed :)
people are superstitious illogical fucktards sometimes.
omg what is with people and their fear and discrimination of the color black. first is the fear of black cats then its the discrimination of black people!
WTF, PEOPLE!? being different does not always mean bad and scary!!!
Probably the most harmful myth I've heard about cats is they can be raised on vegan diets
Punishment for Decadence, don't EVER feed a cat vegetables. It is very bad for them since cats are bound carnivores.
I agree with you 100%!!!
they can, if they get complete food that's packaged by some brands. cats with a lot of allergies don't have a choice but to eat that. however, you should not go ahead and just give them vegetables. there are a lot of things to look out for, for example taurin has to be there otherwise they will die.
Thank you. YOu gave me another reason to HATE Vegans with a passion, Bloody ideology ridden cunts!!
I would totally agree with you giving cats a completely vegetarian or vegan diet or even gluten free is both downright cruel immoral harmful unnatural animal consciousness is different to human consciousness if as a human I chose not to eat meat as from tomorrow its my responsibility to find protein alternatives in fruit and vegetables both felines and canines are carnivores whether domestic or wild humans are omnivores it could be almost as dangerous feeding vegan foods to felines or canines as it was to feed meat to herbivores such as cattle or sheep etc any vegan or vegetarian who feeds cats or dogs only vegetarian foods are in my view hypocritical as they were the ones moaning about farming industries being greedy and feeding cattle meat products causing thousands of cows to be destroyed and incinerated while it maybe OK to sometimes give your pet cat or dag the occasional treat from the owners own dinner plate as long as in moderation and proper cat food is always given for cats and proper dog food is given to dogs in addition cats may occasionally eat grass this is if they feel unwell or have upset stomach the grass helps the bring up food either by vomiting it out or pooing it out grass probably to some extent works similar to kaolin for humans and absorbs toxins although not sure on science of how grass affects cats if eaten furthermore cats will chew or eat catnip treats but again this only a treat not their whole diet
Believe it or not In Scotland the myth about black cats is completly reversed. I used to believe they brought good luck simply by crossing my path. I was happy when one did so there you go.
Same XD
And also, I have 2 black cats X3
yes and that goes for all of Britain too.
I live in USA And I Love Black Cats So Much~! I'm glad that black cats are being Joy from UK.
I'm Scottish and the whole good luck thing is basically a fact
In India, you are told to go back home if a cat cuts across your path. Such stupidity 🤦♂️
One time I was having a moment and I started to cry, a lot, and my cat came in my room and sat with me until I stopped
And a different time, my bedding was being washed and I had to use thin blankets, and my room is in the basement so it’s really cold and my other cat came in and later with me to keep me warm
Tell me again that they don’t care
I had a cat who would come running from anywhere if she a heard a child cry.
@@YSLRD aww, I love that!
@@ericolens3 if you paly a lot with a cats with your hands they can start to see your hands and other hands ass toys. also don't try to over stimulate the cat it's like a energy bomb the more energy you put into the cat the more it winds up, use a toy a few times a day to play with the cat and don't go after the cat let the cat come to you. these are tips so the cat stops cratching
Prinny Boi one of my cats who’s no longer with me would come to me when I was crying. Cats do care!
Last winter there was this feral cat who hung out around my apartment complex. Me and my husband would feed him, and he eventually started coming inside, and would wait by the door until we got home. One time I stayed home from work with a really bad cold, and he slept with me on the couch all day.
It's true unfortunately that black cats are often not adopted from shelters as much as other colours. But one person who worked at a shelter put the black cat's name down as Jellybean. This raised a lot of interest and the cat was adopted the same day. After this the worker put down the name Jellybean for all the black cats and they got adopted as much as the others. What a clever idea.
I had a black cat named Marvin.. He was awesome. For three years. Born in 2004. The last year he wanted to be an indoor and outdoor cat. He got lost in late 2007, for four years... then one night I found him out back in early 2012. He must have found a new home but he came up to me like he never forgot me. Was a great feeling.
Aww what a sweet story. After 5 years he returns. I'm happy for you.
I've always adopted black cats. I think, for the past twenty years, I've enjoyed the company of four. I have one now and when she has to go on and I'm still around I'll adopt another.
Have you shared this info with other shelters throughout the world?
Alondra Labute read. many times black cats good luck in UK. being French American totally agree
In Japan, black cats bring luck
This was also true of sea faring civilizations. Wasn't till the rise of religions and the stigma of witches did the black cat start getting the bad rap for nothing.
In Japan black cats are considered a bad omen, I read this on the internet so it's 100% true.
Ay lmao XD? xddd My cousin has 4 black cats nothing bad has happened to her.
And here in England to
👻
No one can tell me cats don't care. My first one woke my roommate one night when I was sick in the bathroom, and my second one "guarded" me as I recovered from surgery in the Living Room.
The one I have now isn't a cuddler, but she does it when I'm not feeling well.
Terri V Agreed. I had a bad case of food poisoning not long ago and I went to bed and found all 3 of my cats laying on top of me in the morning. They know when something isn't right.
So sweet 💗 my black cat knew when I had the flu this winter and didn’t leave my side. And she’s normally hell on wheels 24/7 so, I knew she cared 😻
Terri V
Its again a great myth that the cats are disloyal, selfish ...
Cats care. When I was little one summer I was sleeping in the afternoon. My mom was boiling meatballs and forgot about them and left to visit my grandmother in the hospital. Almost the entire house filled with smoke and before it reached my room my cat licked my lips and woke me up. She saved my life.
One day I had a bit of a breakdown and both of my kittens just lay by my side, (my kittens are *insane* they don’t sit still for long) so yeah, there you go
Why do some people “hate” cats?
I can understand if they don’t choose to have one, but to hate all cats is something I don’t understand.
I used to hate cats and then I rescued a stray and once I learned more about them I love them so much
Hatred often stems the unknown. Anger often used as way to refuse learning.
cause some people don't like other animals having a mind of their own
they prefer them to be like machines, only doing what they tell them
@@AuburnInAutumn And that anger leads to fear. Fear leads to the Dogside.
Idk maybe traumatic experiences??? My aunt once had a rather mean spirited cat named Nubia. Before this I had never tried to pet her or interact with her up close. So one day we visited my aunt's house and I wanted to get over my fear of her so I walked over to her and attempted to pet her. My hand immediately got attacked so I hated cat's for a while. That is until I went over my friends house and met her adorable kitten, midnight. She was the sweetest little love bug I stg and so I decided that not all cat's are mean as fuck.
when my sister passed away three years ago, I got home from work and sat on the sofa, crying. Within two minutes, all five cats were rubbing around me, nuzzling me, or cuddling close. They knew and cared I was sad.
When I cry my cat runs around me like crazy and then she annoys me so I stop crying.
RIP
My first cat was a black cat and he was so handsome--the best luck i ever had was him. Sergeant Patrick Harper was his name and he was my baby boy. I loved him and i am so thankful i was his owner. unfortunately i found him dead June 12 2015. Though he is gone, he is not gone from my heart.
I have a black cat named Nyx
OMG I cannot imagine my cat passing I’m so sorry 🙏🏻
That name is awesome
I’m sorry 😩 I have had a few. My now cat full name is Jupiter Koopa Sanchez Keith lol but Jupie is what we usually call him.
I had a little kitten that was adorable but he
died from cancer I will never forget him
The cat being fed with chopsticks melted my heart. Holy damn, that was incredibly adorable.
I have a giant version of that kitter. He's awesome.
I don't think anyone actually believes that cats have more than one life. I think the "nine lives" thing came from their ability to get out of situations that other animals can't. It comes from their agility and speed, not a sense that they actually get reincarnated.
I think we need a video titled, "Old Sayings that People Shouldn't Take Literally."
Lisa67
I've seen cats make some amazing escapes that would've killed other animals.
I totaly agree, I was also surprised with the "black cats bring missfortune" and "cats don't always fall on their feel" like I guess there are people who believe in superstition, but I didn't feel like this video had the right title, not many people actually believe it and the "cats always fall on their feet" was also a stupid one because they actually should always land on their feet, it doesn't happen when the cat has a disorder or when a factor makes it inpossible for them to land on their feet (like falling too low to the ground or being hit by something in mid air) it's so logical I think it is stupid to place it in this video
Actually, I think it comes from their ability to play possum when injured. They go into a catatonic state, that's where the word "catatonic" comes from, you think they're dead. but they're not they're just unconscious. 😺🐱
@@conniee.
I had heard once that it comes from the fact that they could shape-shift from a witch 8 times, but if they did it a ninth time they would forever remain a cat.

Fact: all black cats are in fact baby
I swear on my life every single one I've ever met was the sweetest little thing.
Yeah, they often are very sweet.I have a black girl at the moment as she looks after my other 2 boys who are brothers but not her kittens, she even fed them when she was younger and entire.They are 2 and 3 years old now and she still mothers them and catches food for them(not that they go hungry,she prefers game over tinned food!) because they're both extremely useless hunters.
My husband grew up with a black cat named Eclipse. Eclipse used to sit on the newspaper my FIL would read because he wanted pets, lol. I have one named Luna. Luna loves LOTS of play time.
@@dunxy My inlaws had an orange and white cat named Scotty. Scotty would stalk deer with his tail in the air. My MIL would always ask him what he was going to do once he got the deer, lol. "Yep, Scotty, the deer doesn't see that bright orange and white tail. Not at all.".
A black cat scratched me on my face when I was 5yr old and I still have the mark
@@googleuser3525 that's just a coincidence, any cat can scratch you like that
I'd be screwed if black cats brought bad luck. I own three and two follow me around everywhere. The shelter near me wont sell black cats around halloween cause people kill them.
That's sad. We have 3 black cats and my house ( only one is mine) and one of the reasons we like them so much is because of the fact they are the last to get adopted and tell first to get put down
Bubble Lynx yes as a sacrifice
caitlin anderson
I sincerely wish the most miserable, slow and cruel death possible to anyone who takes an innocent cat and kills them for no reason. I have a black cat and im getting a little triggered right now. Fuck this world.
that is really fucked up and horrible. shouldnt that be illegal?
the corbin show I think that type of sacrifice is stupid also in Malaysia cows are used as a sacrifice but u should not use a cat as a sacrifice
I have had 3 black cats. They are wonderful!
Midgetwithahacksaw how do you tell them apart??
invainraven probably their collar colors. My friend also has 3 black cats and they all have different color collars.
My cat is black and white he looks like a cow
IMRAVEN that’s like saying how do people tell triplets apart it’s obvious if you live with them and know them you can tell them apart
I have a friend who also has 3 black cats
anyone who thinks that cats "don't care" need to watch the vid of a cat defending a child from a pit bull attack, it's freakin awesome!
TemeryN I've seen that, was freaking badass too
It can sometimes be troublesome. When I get a cold, I can't tell which is worse, the cough and sneezing or the cats snuffing me every time.
if you need more proof, i had a panic attack last week from ptsd and my cat was instantly there to help me chill out
There are videos on youtube of owners leaving home and their cats cry for about a half hour. I went in my basement once and I could hear my cat crying upstairs, very disturbing. I don't like to think about it when I leave the house.
so glad kitty was there to help out
"Pregnant people shouldn't have cats." ....wait what? That's a myth? I've never even heard of this phrase!
I was told you can't change the cat's litter box when you're pregnant.
It’s not good for a pregnant woman to handle the litter box due to the toxoplasmosis that may be present in the cat’s feces
It is indeed a common belief. And, it really is true that toxoplasmosis, if indeed your cat does have it, then it is a danger for a pregnant woman. So it isn't entirely a myth.
Toxoplasmosis is really rare for cats to have, but it can happen.. So it's not really much of a myth but.
People just over-exaggerate when it comes to pregnant women and pets. I had some people try and tell me to tell my boyfriend that we would have to get rid of the cats because I'm pregnant but I do my own research and ask questions and found out I only need to avoid cleaning their litter so since I found out I was pregnant I havent touched their litter box unless I need to vacuum around the area because of litter spilling outside of the box
Video: myth 10: cats don’t have nine lives.
Me: clicking on this video was a mistake
Cats are not allergic to milk, they are lactose intolerant. Milk allergy is an allergy to either casein or whey in milk and causes hives, breathing problems and other allergy related problems. Lactose intolerance is the body's inability to digest lactose and causes various digestive issues. Thought I'd clear that up.
floyd2386 This. It annoys me so much when say allergic when they are just lactose intolerant.
Tim LaRocco What annoys me is I'm genuinely allergic to milk and when I tell people that I get "oh, you're lactose intolerant?" In my case, the consequences of this misinformation can be much more severe.
I don’t think ALL cats are lactose intolerant, I give my cat dairy and she’s fine
Yes, they still shouldn’t be fed milk, but what you are saying is true. This can be detrimental for people who actually suffer an allergy because many brands will say “lactose free” but that simply means they have extracted the lactose from the milk, and the product still contains milk. This can really make someone get hurt if they have an issue to whey or casein.
My cats drank milk once because the Vet told US but only 2 days and they are still alive not In the vet all normal
#7 is partially true. While cats are solitary HUNTERS, they aren't solitary SOCIALLY. When left to their own devices, stray and feral cats naturally form "colonies", where there's safety in numbers. Also, queens will get help from others in raising their kittens. The problem with comparing cat and dog behavior isn't so much in the whole "pack versus solitary" debate, it's over their comparative roles in the ecosystem. Dogs are descended from wolves, an apex predator; cats are descended from wildcats, a non-apex predator. Dogs can afford to be over the top and obvious with their social cues; cats are more subtle, because excess barking and lots of bouncing and motion might draw the attention of a passing predator. For example, dogs show that they like someone by bouncing and wagging their tail and licking them and just generally acting hyper and excited when they see them; cats communicate the same thing by laying on them, turning their backs to them, or slow-blinking in their presence. All of those are signs of great trust, if not affection, in cats; but if you don't know what you're looking at, you might miss it.
Pixel Fox To take your analogy further... Domestic cats in large numbers actually form prides like lions. It's also been observed that the members of these prides act like their large orange counterparts. Females band together to protect the young from the males that want to kill them, etc.
Pixel Fox Great points!!
Similar to some reptiles, like crocs, garter snakes and komodo dragons. All hunt on their own, but they do often come together (mainly because of food or mating)
Was looking for this. For all the myths this video busted it sure did purpetuate the solitary one quite a lot.
I love your comment.

Black cats are most beautiful and lucky too
ashwadhwani luck isn't real or a thing.
ashwadhwani yes that's why I named my black cat lucky
I never even near implied it is a 'thing' why don't you list all the words it is not ? And luck is definitely not named Ellie.
Nyx is my little black kitty even if she's a fat ass
ashwadhwani did you know 8 out of 10 cats in rescue centers in the uk are black. I found my cat when she was a kitten inside a car engine. We think she was abandoned by a breader
The only time I remember a black cat *ever* giving me bad luck was when I knelt down in the grass while wearing jeans to pet one. That one was on me.
People don't bother to clip their cats claws, then get mad at them for clawing everything. They think those claws magically stay one length on their own.
How can you not trim their claws? It hurts otherwise!
Placing scratch posts and pads in the correct locations and the cats will switch to them.
I try but then my cat claws the ever-loving crap out of me. I even tried rewarding her. Fortunately, she only goes for the couch if she's trying to tell me to pay attention to her.
I trained my 2 cats what they can and cannot scratch. I go to Ross every month as well to but them cardboard scratch beds for only $4.
I clipped my cats claws once, and once only. Later that day she jumped up to her cat tower, grabbed with her newly-trimmed claws, couldn't get a grasp and ate s£!t. Did not land on her feet. She has sharp annoying needle-feet, but I'll take it over risking her injuring herself. Not nearly as graceful as one would presume.
We recently rescued a black cat. For years I’ve always wanted one because of how gorgeous they are. He is the most cuddly, hyper and adorable kitten in the world.
The "cats need less care" just refers to that you don't have to take them out to potty twice a day.
coladict I wish it was only twice a day. If we don't take the darn lab out every 3 to 4 hrs she poos on the floor. Dogs are way too much maintenance for me. The darn dog has to be monitored more than my children. Sorry but my kids come first. And that's a couple if reasons why I perfer cats.
I prefer having a cat over a dog because this is the case. Also, they make less noise, don't jump on people comming home to visit and they usually have a weaker smell than dogs have.
Explosive Lava Weaker smell? I literally can’t smell anything on my cat apart from a sort of grassy smell due to her being outside
@@yesindeed5998 I kinda agree, however, when your cat is inside the whole day and you come inside your house, you might actually smell it a little.
Explosive Lava I might just be that used to the smell it’s sort of blocked out. However, I can definitely smell the scent of catfood.
Black cats are great
Courtney Baltezor sure are! My cat is black her name is Nyx
They usually have the most beautiful green eyes.
Yes, yes they are GREAT!!
Who the fuc* believes that cats have nine loves
I know, right? That's more a figure of speech, because cats are very tough and resilient, and will manage to survive in some really dangerous circumstances. No one thinks cats are respawning like video game characters when they die.
No one over the age of 6.
I asked in my head
Some cats have multiple loves, they usually don't just stick to one partner and "reproduce" with multiple cats (I know ge meant lives, but I just wanted to joke about him writing "love")
well cats dont mate for life, so they can have nine or more loves in their life. also the owner can have a family of nine or maybe nine pets in house, so cats can have nine loves.
If cat's don't have the red cone, why do they see lazer-lights???
E X P L A I N-
without the red cone, they wouldn't see it as red, but would still be able to see it. It would probably look like a grey dot moving around. I have talked to a colorblind person who was colorblind to green. He said he saw green as shades of grey, so he had no real way of knowing it was green. I imagine it would be the same or similar for animals who are unable to see a certain color.
@@SeverusSnape12345 imagine being colourblind

I actually like black cats more. They're usually more friendly, I had a really creepy looking black cat who liked to follow me around when I was a small kid, she was actually larger than me at the time because she had really long legs tail and body. Too bad she suddenly disappeared, she was my best friend for so long, I learnt to parkour just chasing after her whenever she got bored. Heck, I could walk on railings at the time.

yeah! black cats are my favourite, I love them
Aww! That’s so adorable! Maybe she’ll come back... maybe in another life...
I wonder if some assholes sacrificd her to their shitty gods. I'm sorry but people do that around Halloween. I sincerely hope not.
Me too
I once had a black cat that was born in Halloween that shared my life.I miss him.
Black cats do in fact bring bad luck.
1. When you're walking down a dark path you can potentially trip over them and hurt both you and them
2. (Hopefully this goes for ALL cats though), they bring bad luck to your wallet from spoiling them rotten :)
3. You can get mugged for food at 3:00 A.M.
4. _they steal your socks_
This is just based off of my encounters with Mr. Whiskers, a stray black kitty who was left behind when his family moved from the neighborhood. I've already got a furball of my own, otherwise I'd take him in. Right now I'm in the process of trying to get him to the no-kill shelter so he can get his shots and get cleaned up so he can find a new, better family who hopefully won't leave him.
no my black cat does not beg for food at night he only begs for chicken and pizza
I had an all black kitten for a while back in like 2010/2011. One time, I had a pile of laundry on the floor that I was folding, and I have a lot of black clothes. I got up to go do something, and she hid herself in the black clothes and waited for me to walk by again so she could get me.
@@kittenfan-robloxandmore3110 he'll jump up into the window planter and scratch and the screen when he's hungry or thirsty
(Whiskers will)
@@paigeolfert3382 confirmed: black cats are tiny house panthers.
My black girl Lacey is very self sufficient and rarely hassles me for food unlike my 2 boys.She keep self impeccably clean and keeps the boys clean as they're infact useless.She is also queen mouser and takes care of all the rats around the place.She often doesn't eat her daily tin of fancy feast and instead leaves it for the boys, she prefers to catch her food.She most definitely not underweight either, she a little barrel!
I would only point out two things: feeding a cat vegetables can be as harmful as giving them milk (cats are strict carnivores, unlike dogs); and while dogs and cats can get along, dogs are still one of the top killers of cats. Don't just put a cat (or even worse a kitten) with a dog and think they'll be alright together.
Beaguins at my old house a cat loved eating grass so we called her sheepy
Death ღ btw it was my neighbor ‘s house 2nd I don’t live there anymore 3rd I’m just an 11 yr old
Death - Cats often eat grass to help them vomit up hairballs. Many times I've had cats who've gone out, eaten grass, and thrown up hair a few minutes later.
That’s true! I’m vegan, but I’d dare never make another species eat my kind of diet. I would make sure they are eating a well healthy, balanced diet that fits their needs. Cats should be fed meat/meat-based products. They have certain nutrients their body can’t make and need it from meat, unlike humans. That’s horrible to force another species to succumb a diet that they aren’t fit for.
Death ღ sometimes they eat grass to throw up when they have disrupted their digestive system.
Black cats are super, super cuddly little love bugs. Also, cats in feral colonies will take care of each other and nurse the kittens of other mommas. They're not necessarily solitary. They just need it proven to them over a period of a few months that even with this other cat in their home, they will still get fed.
Alice Bones , I fed 22 homeless kitties tonight.
11 of them in one location.
That gang all know each other, they hang out together, and some of them are good buddies :)
It's also a common misconception that cats cannot climb _down_ trees. Have you ever seen a cat skeleton up a tree? Of course not. The cat climbed down. It may have had a bit of hesitation, but it found a way.
They tend to climb up places then meow for attention because A. they're lazy, B. they're showoffs and C. it will probably hurt a bit when they jump so it's easier to just get the fire brigade.
My cat can climb down trees head first. *AND ITS 17 WEEKS OLD*
My cat climbed up a ridiculously tall tree, screamed at me for half an hour, then climbed down. Sometimes they get stuck, but 9/10 times they’re just being weird.
@@warriorcatskid003 I'd love to know what that's about. My cat yells at me when he gets to the top of the stairs like he wants me to carry him down, except he HATES being picked up. It is definitely weird.
The 9 lives myth comes from the thought that witches were able to transform into a cat 9 times.
Also, black cats are considered good luck in Scotland.
if i ever get a cat..its gonna be black and im gonna name him “Midnight”
dont judge me its a cool name
Fisernic edgy
I have a black cat named Midnight 😁
Name it "debt" so if you have to put up missing posters you can say, "have you seen my debt?"
I like that name. I've haf black cats in the past named Alucard and Zodiac.
I have a black cat that I had named Shadow. Then my dad came and started calling him Spooky, which the cat would answer to. So that's his name now lol
I'll never let my cats go. Ps one of my cats has one eye ❤️
Hi I'm Katie we as well have a cat( black on top of that) with only one eye, her name's Pita, and we have another black cat, Nala, born without a developed tail, it's just a nub, both shelter rescues
Me too Katie! we have a three legged kitty too. What has three eyes seven legs and beats the crap out of Pepe the dog? Daisy and Richard!
I'm allergic to cats 😭 I have a dog though (one of my guinea pigs only has one eye)
Crulnagash It Could Be A "Manx Cat"
Hi I'm Katie What's the kitties name?
I have a black cat called panther
Anita Takacsova we have 2, Nala and Pita
I was going to name my first black cat Panther, and if I get another, I’ll name them Giza
Anita Takacsova I have a White cat named Apple 🍎 she is a rescue kitty 😂
Anita Takacsova I named mine Pickles(Her eyes were the color of dill pickles she was also the runt of the liter so I had to keep her).
Anita Takacsova so.. black panther lol😅
I own a black cat and I love him to pieces! He’s goofier than any other cat I’ve met. He loves giving cat kisses and sleeps anywhere in my bedroom. I adopted him from a rescue and have never regretted my decision.
"Milk is bad for cats"
Explain why mine keeps shoving his head into my bowl of cereal every day I have cereal and is completely fine.
I think it varies, just like people.
He said that MOST cats are lactose intolerant. Yours must be the some that aren’t.
My father and sister are lactose intelerant i'm not lactose intolerant.
same with cats, some cant some can.
Humans and animals are INDIVIDUAL creatures with EACH individual intelerances of certain things
um, okay, just because an animal eats something and doesn't die right after, doesn't mean it's not unhealthy, I bet you think the same about giving dogs chocolate, you probably think that's healthy too...idiot
@KawaiiKitty_Peachie _ it's not me, it's youtube
This video has ensured me that I’m getting a cat. I NEED a cat.
Did you adopt a cat?
Traditionally in England black cats are good luck.
QPRTokyo
Japan too
the weird thing is that I actually found that to be true ?? I live in england as well lol
Ireland also.
Yep, we’re cool over here. 👍🏼
my cat is sick please pray for him
just prayed for him❤️
Anita Takacsova my prayers are out to you hope your gets better💓❤❤💗💖
Anita Takacsova Of course, sorry to hear that
🙏✝️🐱🐈
take him to the vet
I must be a cat! I can't digest lactose, either.
I'm very sorry that you can't digest lactose. However, many cats just like many humans are very capable of digesting lactose. My cats love milk.
You must shut the fuck up too! Your cringy jokes you can keep to yourself.
Lots of people can’t digest lactose
You are not alone, more than half the population cannot digest milk. It’s perfectly normal. Some people can tolerate it more, but ultimately it’s just not good for us.
Here in Denmark, it's a very rare condition. People look strangely at me and ask "WHAT?" when I tell them about it.
I got my little black kitty Nemo he came up to me while I was outside and he’s been an angel ever since ❤️❤️❤️

I hate this, my whole family is scared of black cats😭
Wow, really?
I wanna smack some sense into them.
Have you tried convincing them that fur color doesn't mean evil or bad luck? It's honestly kinda racist to cats that black cats mean bad luck and white cats mean good luck.
you're related to a bunch of superstitious and illogical morons? my sympathies.
OMG, really? That's sad.
Just wanted to add something here. While black cats certainly had a bad reputation back in the middle ages, ALL cats were considered evil. People would gather around churches and cheer as cats were tossed to their deaths from the roof. This was such a frequent occurence in Europe that the population of cats nose-dived during that time, so much so that's it's linked to the Black Plague being able to spread as far as it did. Vermin carrying the disease, with no cat to hunt them down, became overabundant and infested streets and homes more than ever, taking the plague everywhere with them. So yeah, superstitious believes backfired big time...
Europeans were stupid
@@bobthebox2993 Every part of the world was stupid.. atleast once xD
@@flaire2437 True words right there
Hence the Black Death. Served em right!
Alita Berserker #99 That’s not true, people like cats especially farmers as they helped with rat/mice problems. I don’t know where you heard that but it’s definitely not true.
With regular vet care, love, attention, diet, exercise, etc. your cats can live as long as mine did and are. Oliver was 20 when we helped him over the rainbow bridge after arthritis set in. Sylvester was 19 when we helped him cross over, too. Cancer is a cruel disease. Mr. Punkin and Sox are each 10 years old now and as frisky as kittens. ALL 4 are and were a joy to be around and have given us 20 years of unconditional love and a butt load of entertainment!!!
Cats can also see ultraviolet. When you put on sunscreen, it may be invisible to you but to your cat, you will look a little strange, as if your face and body have paint on them.
Scott Bridge omg really?
Such a interesting piece of info
Black cats are the most affectionate creatures I've ever experienced. They are so beautiful and majestic. I have had the privilege of enjoying many years with black cats, and other colors, but my current black cat Whisper, is one of the most loving cats I've ever had. He loves me so much and I can't imagine my life without him. Cats rock!
I have a black kitten. He is the sweetest thing and loves cuddles so much. I didn’t even realize how little black cats are adopted until the shelter workers almost cried when my husband and I wanted him. He’s only been with us a couple weeks but he’s just been the best boy! So glad we adopted him!
I actually never even heard of the pregnant woman myth lol
I have lol it's completely false, my mom is pregnant right now and we have a cat, we r getting another cat for my bday
I have.
If you look on a package of litter, usually there will be warnings of toxoplamosis. which pregnant women can possibly get if they come into direct contact with the feces of cats. Its not neccesarily a myth, because it is possible, but most indoor cats dont carry the disease anyways.
Every time I change my hair color, my cats are scared of me. I have to chase them down, and talk to them. To show them that I'm the same person , that I was before I colored my hair. I have twin British Bombay sisters.
I plan to one day adopt black cats from shelters.
"Cats have nine lives" is false ?? Thank you for revealing us the truth dude !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The nine lives myth is so obviously fake that it shouldn’t even be on this list
WOW ITS THE FIRST THING ON LIST IM DISAPPOINTED
I find it odd that cats can't see red or pink, because when I was a little girl we had this beautiful Long fured black cat and there was this Hot pink pillow, She would sit on Knowing she like good.
PixelatedVaporeon she identified the pillow by sent.
How? How did she know she'd look good on it by sent?
Perhaps their was a certain scent on it that comforted her and she rested there to keep herself calm. Like a familiar scent from when she was a kitten, the type of detergent/fabric softener/ dryer sheets u used, or maybe even someone used the pillow too and she liked their scent.
Also cats are very sensitive to where they sleep I read before they will clean off their favorite spots so perhaps it could also be the texture of the pillow.
PixelatedVaporeon She didn't know she looked good on it lol she just liked it's scent and felt secure on it.
Thank god for someone speaking sense about cats!! I used to have 9 cats! 3 British Shorthair and six Burmese. Then Dec 13th 2016 my oldest Brit age 15 decided her time had come and wanted to join her twin who died age 9. Eight days later my 4 year old Burmese girl developed Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) due to Taurine deficiency. When cat food was first made public there was no Taurine and cats died. humans need it too but we can make it from the various foods we eat and turn it into different peptide chains to make Taurine. Cats can't and like us they need it for myocardial (heart ) muscle. Her cardiologist recommended euthanasia, I couldn't agree, so we left it that we would make a decision later that day.
My little one fought hard to live and surprised everyone by coming home on 7 different types of medication. The cardiologist was sceptical as he thought even he couldn't cope giving a small cat this many tablets. She was the size of a 4 month kitten, always was a little one. I had worked as an anaesthetic nurse in a human operating theatre and used everything I ever learned to nurse her. I stayed up every night for 6 months feeding her hourly, brining the water bowl to her. she was so weak because of the enlarged heart and being on diuretics (water pills) to drain excess fluids from her body. I'd count her reparations in a human around 20 is normal, in a cat 20-40 is normal. I'd check her paws to see how her peripheral circulation was. Kept her by the radiator, it was winter in Scotland. She was fussy over what she ate. I found myself cooking her bacon at 4am, so desperate was I to make her eat. I'd make her baby porridge - cat milk plus human baby porridge oats dried and whisk them up so they frothed and microwaved them for around 20 seconds until warm, just as a babies bottle. I have adorable photo's of my little one with her porridge face!
At her 6month check with her cardiologist he was amazed, her heart muscle had repaired it's self about 98% he had only ever encountered one other cat in 15 years that had done the same! much to my amazement he hugged me and kissed my cheek saying the only reason she was still here was because of me???? I just did what any other owner would do ?
3 months later out of the blue all the glands in her neck became swollen. Her vets thought it was Lymphoma bur every test came back negative. They even took her popliteal gland (humans have the same) behind the knee, too dangerous to take from the neck - it's so vascular. Even it came back negative. She became unwell and sore when i picked her up (pain in chest area) she spent a weekend at the vets hospital, got her home for one night and she was back in with a desperation rate of 49 (remember I said 20-40 normal for cat) she had fluid in her lungs, there was talk of a chest drain to remove fluid, but the diuretics (water tablets) worked and she stayed there another two nights as she was to see her cardiologist later that week. On the day he called and said she looked good that was am, by 13.30 I got a call to say get here PDQ, her right heart has stopped working, kidneys shut down and other organs are following fast. When I got there he got my husband to hold her and he hugged me. She was struggling to breathe, but he said she calmed down a bit when i got there. She looked so ill, one of her pupils had delated and I held her when she got the injection to stop her suffering. I was told my voice was the last thing she heard and I told her how much I loved my best ever poppet.
I told him after that last time she was home she ate some litter, it's called PICA and he said the tumour that appeared out of nowhere must have entered her brain.
I should also say that all my other cat looked after her too, they washed and groomed her, kept her warm and if she was incontinent of urine when 1st home they washed her tail end too. They loved her as well. It's only been a few months and I miss her and weep for her often. My cats come and curl unto me when I cry. They are such amazing animals and for as ill as my best poppet was after her first few months on the Taurine she was her usual self, chasing the others , feisty, nipping at the heels of the youngest cat who was 3 years at the time. She just loved life.
Lin Joy, just reading your post brought many a tear, it also brought back memories of when one of my cats died due to cancer. You were told she was looking good just hours later, she had passed - I can't even begin to imagine how that felt. We tried chemotherapy in an attempt to save Marble, I had to get a taxi back from the vet with him after his first round. The driver asked why he'd been to the vet & when I told him he berated me all the way home about spending all that money on a cat when there women living in remote villages who can't afford to feed their families. Fair point maybe but I was too worried about Marble to argue back so I just pointed out that as far as I was concerned he was a member of my family & I was gonna do anything within my power to try to save him. I left that taxi without tipping the driver that day. Sadly, the cancer Marble had was too aggressive, the first two rounds of chemo seemed to be shrinking it but after that, it looked like the damn thing was feeding off it & getting bigger. I made sure he wasn't suffering, he spent his last few days in the back garden where he seemed happy, I held his food bowl in a position where he could eat lying on the grass if he wanted & bought special cat wipes to clean him which he seemed to enjoy. He lost his fight for life on the 5th August 7 years ago, he jumped up on my son's lap, meowed once & then he was gone. I'd just had 8 days off work with him, he died the day I went back. Somebody told me not long after, he had probably waited for me not to be there as he knew I'd be too upset. People who have never experienced being owned by a cat just don't realise the effects they have on your life. As I told that horrible taxi driver that day, don't have an animal unless you're willing to make it part of the family. For me, the pain of losing him was made worse to see the other two cats looking for him everywhere for the best part of a week - how do you explain to a cat that their little pal isn't coming back? Those two cats are still with me, I miss Marble a lot but I need to make the most of the time they have left with me. The more timid one of the two made my newly empty lap her own, which helped. You did your best to save your little furball, sadly it just wasn't meant to be. Cats leave pawprints on your heart.
Lin Joy I'm so sorry for your loss
What a lovely story about your cat and how you never gave up on her. I'm glad she and your other cats have had such great care.
My condolences
Anita Mason Thank you for your kind words. I’m sorry that you’ve been through a similar experience.
There are some people who just don’t understand that a cat or any other pet is part of the family.
I tell people who question what I’ve done trying to save my little poppet ( that’s not her name, just a term of endearment I gave her) that to my husband and I that all our cats are just the same to us as though they were human children.
They then see in a different light (I hope) that as a child one would do anything to make them better again, even if it meant selling all our possessions. Money means nothing in comparison to the love received from our babies. All in all we spent around £8,000 for her care and not one single penny was grudged. As I mentioned I’d give every material possession I own just to have her in my arms for another 5 minutes. I’m sure you feel the same about your puss.
What I didn’t write at the time when I posted my comments that she also developed an eye problem ( it was unrelated to her enlarged heart).
it’s called a Corneal Sequestrum ( not quite the correct spelling) it’s the layer of skin under the Cornea that has died and grows out. It takes about 6 months. No one knows what causes it and only cats and horses get it. So apart from all her medication she had eye drops 4 times a day too.
I know exactly what you wrote about your pusses searching the house for the cat who had died. The day before she died we have two of our cats attending fat busters ( that’s what my husband calls it, just his version of Weight Watchers for cats) luckily for us our Vet Hospital allowed us once our two fat cats got weighed to spend time with our poppet in a quiet room where she was staying and got to spend an hour with her. To the two cats that were with us were delighted to see her they were grooming her rubbing their faces on her head, she was equally happy to see them.
I have reminders of her all around my home she totally loved chewing anything wooden in the house. I’m sure she thought herself a dog! I just miss her so much. There is a poem, I don’t know if you’ve heard of it. It’s called “The Rainbow Bridge” it’s sad but brings hope. Best wishes.
I have had a black cat before, with a ginger cat, both of them born in my apartment's basement and getting starved by thier mother. In fact thier whole bach was getting starved. I took them in and named them Sam(ginger cat) and Strider(black cat). We never knew exactly what gender Strider was because she (we think she is a she now since she looked pregnent right before we let them go) was always feral. Sam had his trust given to me, but Strider hated all humans. Once, though, I tried to pet her with a toy, she was angery and scared at first, but then she let it pet her. Pretty soon I was petting her without her knowledge. When she looked, she was shocked for a bit, but then licked my hand! After a few hours, she curled up next to me and slept next to me!!!! I gained her trust... then she woke up a bit later and it seemed like she forgot about that whole moment... oh well.
Cats have a very limited scope of human vocabulary. My cat looks right at me when I talk to him and it's just a noise. He just meows at me. Cats are not "dogs with a bad attitude." They just don't understand words.
Black is my favorite color and when looking for a cat to adopt I wanted a black one more than anything. I recently got an all black kitten. Lmao sometimes I can’t see her sleeping on my all black sheets.
"Cat's do not have 9 lives"
What?? Are you saying that clan leaders from Warriors don't come back to life 9 times??
My life is a lie...
No they go to star clan
I had the same idea! Warrior squad where y'all at?
I love warriors too!
This list left out the myth that cats steal babies’ breath.
Another myth is that cats won’t get stuck in a tree or roofs.
I had a cat that could climb up a tree but couldn’t figure out how to get down.
They even educate children on this in a show called 'Handy Many'.
Sadly I've heard so many people saying that cats are aloof, stand-offish and only interested in the food given to them. Having grown up with cats and shared my home with cats most of my adult life I can say that if you show love to a cat it will return that love with interest.
A good example was one of our cats - 'Pollux' (he had a brother called Castor) who would greet me at the door when I came home from work. He wanted to be picked up and cuddled, and he would purr his head off. He would follow me around and would lie on my chest, gazing into my face!
Seriously I found an abandoned kitten less than a week old, fed him Kitten Milk Replacement with a doll baby bottle plus liquid vitamins. People told me he would not survive. He grew into a big beautiful cat and lived to be 17 years old!
This whole time I believed cats had nine lives. Thank goodness a channel like this exists or I'd still be in the dark...
I totaly agree, I am aslo so happy this channel told me that black cats don't really bring bad luck. I totaly thought I was about to die when I saw that one black cat once... so informative. Now I only need to watch out for opening an umbrella indoors, running underneath a ladder and breaking a mirror. Also, if it wasn't for this channel, I wouldn't know that if I threw a cat back first to the ground (10cm fall) it wouldn't magically turn to his feet in 0.1 seconds... like I totally tought its feet would teleport to the other side of his body or something like that...
I love black cats and we also have one before, and his name was blackjack.
black cats are not bad luck
I heard a horrible rumor when I was young that cats will sneak into your baby's crib at night at steal their breath, suffocating them.
I have a black cat, a tortoiseshell and a grey cat. Out of all 3, the black cat is the sweetest, gentlest most polite cat I've ever met. She never bites, greets us if she's in the front yard when we come home, and waits patiently for her food (she's more well-mannered than some people I know!). She even happily greets the other two cats when she comes in and even gives the dog face rubs and smooches. She's very affectionate and even quirky.
She's a beautiful little kitty and I love her so much. She's my precious little fur baby!
And dont forget to *S Q U I S H* that cat
I have a black cat named shadow i have three cats and i dont believe that black cats are bad luck and it upsets me the stuff they say about black cats
Cats are the best! 😁👍🏼
yes
I have a black cat too. His name is Jimmy. He has a little white spot on his collar, and two going down his belly. As a result, he always looks like he’s going to the opera.
I rescued a shelter kitten years ago and later discovered she loved corn on the cob. I volunteer at the local shelter (please help and volunteer wherever you live). People frequently come in and look to adopt black cats. Play music for your cats. This is one of the best entertainment you can provide your cats whether they are alone or have roommates. It is definitely stimulating them. I even play it at the shelter where the cats there need socialization. They all love it.
We adopted our cat Medb when she was 5 months old. She is a black cat and was listed as "shy". I went to her cube and she reacted to me as if she had been living with me for ages practically saying "Dad get me out of here!". Anyway we started her on what I refer to as a high protein neurological diet designed to encourage intelligence. Thus far she comes to her name, will beg for food when I tell her to say please, if I say brush she will present her sides and back for grooming, and when I say "birdie" she will get into position to chase a LASER dot. She follows me everywhere and watches me when I prepare dinner almost as if she needs the skills for when she is reincarnated as a human. ;-) She is so bright behind her eyes that one wonders if she is really more human than cat.
John Brandolini That's amazing! I love that look in their eyes as if they are more aware than others. Really does make you wonder. My black kitty is not as well trained but he seems to be legitimately trying to listen to me when I speak to him, while my other two sorta just have the "huh?" look all the time haha.
It's a survival trait. Cats and dogs depend on us for their existence and will do anything to ensure their survival. One of those efforts is the ability to communicate their needs to us. Most pet owners judge us as eccentric when we talk to our cats or dogs but what they don't realize is that both parties are learning each others "language". Dogs and cats are hamstrung when it comes to verbal communication since they don't have the same number of muscles in their mouths or their tongues to articulate words; although, our late cat Kerry did her best to call my wife by her name, Margaret when she wanted dinner. What most cat and dog lovers fail to realize is that most of their companions communications skills are through body language. Even your other two cats may surprise you with their non-verbal skills. Cats are a lot smarter than people give them credit for unfortunately they are consistently measured against their canine cousins who were bred for obedience. And to reiterate what I said in my first post part of the problem with encouraging intelligence in cats is the lack of a protein rich diet in their youth. A high protein diet leads to the formation of a highly convoluted cortex in cats (and dogs and other mammals) which leads to higher intelligence. Unfortunately, according to a Tufts study on longevity in mice, leads to a shorter life span.
My cat is quite aloof lol
He's cuddly when he's hungry
Yes! When they want something, they act loving toward you. Like some ppl I know.
Oh wow i TOTALLY thought that cats have 9 lives
Oh wow i TOTALLY thought that black cats bring bad luck
I had a phenomenal cat who lived outdoors and was in my life from 2 years old and passed away at 22. She was jet black and so happy, friendly and affectionate. She did dissapear for 2 days when I was 8, she had climbed up a very tall tree and didn't have the courage to descend. My father opened up his arms and coaxed her down. It didn't take her long to descend and then jump into his arms. She had complete trust in him as she was truly loved by our family.
In my country, it's more traditionally believed that cats got 7 lives. And for you who said no one believe cats got multiple lives, some traditional people do. There's even a myth in my country to not let a cat get near a dead body, because some people said (or lied or told, who knows?) that when a cat gets near a dead body, the dead would be resurrected for a mere second before going dead again. Because the cat actually inadvertently gave one of its lives to the dead.
That myth sure is very interesting when you want to make a fantasy story...

SHE:*ITS A FAKE VIDEO, DON'T BELEIVE IT *
I wasn’t a cat fan at one time, and my partner brought home a stray kitten. I told him I was getting a puppy, so I got a Labrador/Pit and the kitten and puppy were the best of friends. The kitten won me over when I was very ill and the little kitten climbed up on the bed and laid on my chest purring until my fever broke. I believe cats are amongst the most intuitive and spiritual creatures.
Yourself having bad luck, not the cat fault
I already knew all of these
I'm such a cat nerd
Just own a cat..and heard a ridiculous myth about having cat.. My colleague said owning a cat can cause Asthma.. this is just weirdest myth I heard about cats🐱😆
Gayatri Buswal yeah that's a new one for me. Cats themselves don't cause asthma, but cat (or animal hair in general) hair can trigger asthma attacks just like dust, certain plants, cigarette smoke, or overexertion can.
Say to your teacher saying that I’m smarter than you
That long-haired kitten sitting up and eating kibble from chopsticks...lol!
It's stupid that people believe black cats are something bad. I had a black smokey cat for 15 years, sweetest boy ever and now I have another fully black kitten. I love black cats, they look amazing with their dark fur and often yellow eyes
