My cat is the one who looks left and right before crossing the street 😄 he also stops at alleys to make sure no cars are speeding out, and he only crosses at crosswalks. He is 9yrs old now and walks with us and our dog everyday for a long walk, then i found out from neighbors that he also waits at their doors from as early as 6am to go walking with them and their dog, and he walks with families and their kids to school in the morning and comes back. He is the block mascot and loves his walks 😆
omg what an awesome cat! Ha! Thanks for sharing that. How cute is that?!
1 mine looks left and right before crossing the road as well.
he goes out in the morning before the busses start running and doesnt come home again till after the last bus has stoped as his territory is across a busy road and he only goes out before the roads get busy and wont come back till the roads get quit again. so i only seem him for a few hrs a day as by the time he comes home its my bedtime.
His tracker says he goes out between 4 and 5 AM and he doesnt normaly come back home till around midnight. he never seems to stop for more than 20 mins in 1 place so he is nearly always on the move during the day and only sleeps when he is home. the tracker updates every 10 mins and it keeps the history so i can track where he goes over a 24hr period whici i do at night when he comes home and i put the tracker on charge before puting it back on him then go to bed.
Now that is one inspiring kitty.
That's a genius-level cat.
How sweet..I have one cat who looks under my car for other cats so I won't hit them..
I love cats , I've always had at least one cat in my house since I was a little boy, I'm now 71 .
I have 12!

My father-in-law hated cats as a boy and young man. But they finally got one he liked when he was about 50 and after that they've never been without at least one. He looks like The Skipper on Gilligan's Island. We found a stray that was injured and nursed it. One of the most loving cats ever. We named it "Little Buddy" and gave it to him. If you don't understand Google it.
@@frankshannon3235 yes I understand I used to watch Gilligans island, good story thanks .
They're amazing animals, we're very lucky to have them ! I hope you're doing well!
I can't live without cat. They are smart and they are the most beautiful beings.
We slept in a tent in our backyard one week. The stray cat we started feeding years earlier slept with us each night. It was very nice until she put a mouse under our pillow while sleeping.
Good kitty. Thanks for the gift. 😴😟😯😲😬🙀🐭🐁🎁
Clearly the cat saw that you were poor hunters! 😇
@georgeinazuma4377
She definitely didn’t want us going hungry 😋
you are lucky she did not bring a snake or a big lizard
@georgeinazuma4377 lmfao 🤣 the cat obviously knew they were going to die if he didn't intervene lol 😂
@full_time_Sinner209
If she didn’t bring us dinner I don’t know what we would have done. 🤣🤣😋
I had a small male cat who had surgery. He had metal stitches and I had to put salve on them. After coming home from the hospital on day 2, he was acting kinda crazy wanting to go out but not actually leaving when I opened the door. In that animal to human mind meld of staring at me, I realized he knew he could not go out there by himself in his condition. So, I bought the vowel, opened the door, he waited, and I followed. He took me on journey around the property, marking (peeing) on trees and such, moving ahead stopping to make sure I was following, until we made a circle all the way back to the door and we went in. I did this a couple of days. Afterwards, he was always happy and purring on my lap. We marked our territory together to make sure the bad cats stayed away.
that's awesome! 😍😍😍
this is actually very sweet of you, and I'm sure he was very appreciative of your guardianship and extra muscle on those walks around his territory. And gave him a sense of calm knowing he did his rounds and all was ok
So sweet!
Wow😮
You are the owner every cat needs.
My cat kept disappearing and coming back home with smoke smell lingering on its fur. we don't smoke. then it stopped and later we found missing cat note... of our cat! these poor folks bought him everything and considered it theirs. our prodigal cat got double food and cuddles for almost a month.
EDIT: My cat thanks for all the likes 😺👉❤
Put a collar on him with a tag, ID chip him and maybe put a note in his collar saying please don't feed MY cat!
That's quite funny. I agree with the other commenter that you should give him a collar & a microchip.
This is hilarious! Lucky cat
This happened to a neighbors cat. only the visited home kept the cat inside. (neighbors told on neighbors)
This is happening right now with this new kitty I have been feeding. He comes in the house usually at evening and night then goes home in the morning lol I know he has a home. My cats are indoor. One doesn't like him but it's not dangerous. My daughter is in love with him. Our senior kitty passed a few months ago and she has been devastated. So let him sleep with her. Such a great cat too
We had an old mamma cat that went out and brought back mice, squirrels, rabbits. Mom always said that she was paying her "rent". Mom would make a big fuss over thanking her and telling her what a good kitty she was. She never scolded her for it. We were amazed at their relationship. We always referred to her as Mommy's cat..
I absolutely love cats. Especially my black cat. They’re so special and full of good fortune ❤ my love of cats is the reason I got into veterinarian technology ❤️
First time to hear that about a black one! They are usually the ones left from the litter or fed to snakes.
My friends 'adopted' a stray cat. He'd demand to go out for 1/2 a day, then return for the night. They took him to the vet because he started getting so fat. The vet laughed, and asked if they were SURE he was their cat. The vet recognized the cat as he already had a file on him. Turns out the furry conman was a "bigamist". He already had a family. They contacted the 'other' family, and agreed to share him, only coordinate his feedings, so he didn't turn into a glutton.
Ha! My older cat used to be indoor/outdoor, and everywhere we have lived when I was loading up to move out I’d have neighbors coming up to say goodbye telling me they were going to really miss him! I’d be like, wait, who are you? Apparently he would visit certain families at certain times when they were outside enjoying evenings on their porches and whatnot every single day, doing all his best bits, even jumping into their cars when they got home to say “hello.” He gets more done in a day than I do! Anyways now he’s indoor only though bc it drastically lowers their life spans to let cats out to wander. He loves it when we have visitors tho
When I adopted my stray, she was feeding from 6 different families each day!
😂 too funny !
@@gracewonder1867 Cats are SMART! It never hurts them to adopt so many adoring human beings does it? LOL
Lol 😂
About 4 years ago, during the height of our Australian summer my wife (a dedicated dog lover, cat hater ) found a litter of kittens seemingly abandoned in our yard. The next day with still no sign of the mother we gathered them up and started the hand rearing process to try and save them from a horrible death. There is no better feeling than having 5 kittens nuzzling your beard and exploring your dressing gown while bottle feeding the sixth.
The mother cat did return 2 weeks later and rediscovered her litter but no attempt to capture her was successful.
We lost 1of the kittens around 6 months of age. He was an explorer and we like to think someone took him in rather than alternate possibilities.
My wife is now a convert to these wonderful animals even with the high costs of having 5 fur babies ( 3 male, 2 female ). They are all desexed and microchipped, and it helps when the Vet gives us a bulk discount on the annual check up and vaccinations.
There is always a cat needing a cuddle, playtime or scratch when you have 5 of them.

We had 2 sets of abandoned babies on my mom's property (triplets and quads) that we nursed and kept as pets- we became crazy cat people ever since! Although they ideally should be with their own mom, it was an amazing bonding experience that I kind of miss. My current "covid sisters" were between 6-8 weeks when I rescued them and the bond is just not the same. No matter... I'm a diehard cat fan for life 😺
My cat (a former stray, still indoor/outdoor) had four kittens a few months back. I'd honestly love to keep all of them, but as a single guy who still rents in the city, it's just not realistic. Though I'm keeping one of the kittens, saying goodbye to the other three is proving to be an emotionally trying experience.
Try feeding, an caring for 15!
I would pass away from allergies, I wish I could cuddle them.
Aw you kept them all! That's great man!
I adore cats. I love dogs too, but cats just have so much personality and I admire their ability to live only by their own rules.
Cats are soo amazing and mysterious in their own ways. Absolutely love them! 😌🐈⬛🐈❤️
My wife and I watched this documentary the other night, and we had one of our cats (Sophia) sitting between us as we did so. We had about as much fun watching Sophia's reactions to the show as we did from watching the show ourselves.
Sophia attentively watched the show at least 90% of the time, and her ear movements and body language as she saw and heard the cats on the TV screen were fantastic. Cats shown with their tails whipping made her hunker down as she knew what that means. Cats crouching down for an attack also made her react similarly. Basically, our cat reacted with the poses and body language one would expect from a cat who was right there live with a cat or cats exhibiting various behaviors. It was fascinating and hilarious at the same time.
This is the first time we've seen Sophia pay much attention to any program on the TV, and it was wonderful.
We're going to seek out more cat programs to watch with our cats, particularly Sophia, who seemed to really enjoy it. She was in a most playful mood after the show, too.
Oh, and my wife and I enjoyed the show, too. Very interesting, well photographed, well edited, and entertaining while also being informative and fascinating. Often, documentaries are not so well produced as this one. So: Bravo, and thank you.
Ahhh 🥲😍 how adorable!! I can't wait to have a pet cat again
There was one time I was playing a video of a bunch of kittens crying for their mother, because they got themselves stuck somewhere. Our cat Sam was very concerned and began scouring the desk for them and seemed to be shouting "I'm listening but where are you??"

Years ago I watched the movie "The Bear" with my sisters. Our cat, who ordinarily ignored the television, planted herself in front of the set and watched the first half of the movie, which had no humans, with intense interest. When humans appeared in the second half and the focus shifted to them, she lost interest in the movie.
That right there shows cats' lacks in intelligence. A crow would've known it wss watching a documentary
Rudi is my favorite. He's clearly a badass. I also love how he didn't particularly feel like he needed to refresh his scent every day. He's like "I'm tough enough that I'll be able to take it back if someone comes on my turf."
I love this analysis! Rudi is a smooth operating veteran that knows about longevity in the turf game. For sure a kingpin in the area, despite his age.
He was my favorite too:) That was the main reason why I clicked on this video was because of the thumbnail that had his photo.. he looks so similar to my cat Bella that just passed away a few months ago.. he was 22 years old. My boy had longer fur though:) He was a big Maine Coon tom cat. It reminded so much of him.. this was a cool video.
@@PiXie232 I bet you must really miss him. Our car Sally died May 2020, she was 26 years old. She hardly ventured further than the patio, and if she did, she only walked up the garden path and back.
He’s definitely the seasoned old brawler.
@@jaijai5250 oh wow 26! An old granny kitty:)😻 I bet she was a wonderful kitty:) That’s a very long time.. I really wish I would’ve had another four years with my beautiful boy.. he was my baby.. I had him since he was born. It’s still so hard being without him. I miss him terribly. But he had a very good life, and he passed away in my arms, so I’ve got to be grateful for the time I had with him:) You know how hard it is losing your fur baby though.. and he was my first one that I had on my own once I moved out when I was 16. So he was my favorite..♥️
I thought it interesting that Lars and Emily live with the same family but never bonded at all, yet they have the exact same territory patrolled at different times. I'd sure like to talk to all these cats and have them explain what they're thinking. Fascinating study.
After seeing this I would be interested in getting a GPS tracker for one of my cats Lucy. The other day a neighbor told me she saw her hanging out with her big friendly male pit bull. I didn’t know she had dog friends. Lol.
I used to be agnostic about cats but always loved dogs. I took in a stray and it freely goes in and out of my house. They are MUCH more interesting than dogs. They lead lives outside of what we see, maybe even with second families. They're extremely stealthy, sensitive, territorial, and instinctive killers. They are fascinating.
Dogs are also interesting. I have chosen to live life to the fullest and have dogs and cats.
Dogs can't compare to cats in any way.
The big difference between dogs and cats is (besides the size) is that Dogs pretty much lost their ability to hunt because they know we will give them food. Cats however despite feeding them they have not lost their ability to hunt. And what I do love about house cats is that they are technically teaching us What big cats do
they truly are, you know
@@katula14 Lion don't compare themselves to humans!
In Boxtel Netherlands smallish woodland animals in the country were being hit by cars routinely , so the town decided to pay for tunnels , or corridors to be dug under the roads , in key areas where they frequented . It was a complete success . I suspect cats have learned to use them as well
Oh, that is great to hear!
That is amazing. I wish we would work together and do that in more of Canada. So many animals 😢
That is wonderful. Holland is a lovely country to visit too.
I have a 25lb cat named Garfield. He pretty much never leaves our yard. I love him so much. He spends 90% of his day laying under a tree watching birds waiting for them to get close enough he can get a snack.
🤣
Oh funny, there was a HUGE "Garfield" colored male cat from somewhere in our area of the city. He must have 35 lbs at least. GORGEOUS~ To me he seemed as if he might have some Maine Coone in him to be that large and not be an obese cat. I could never get close enough to him because I had a dog. My dog loved kitties too.
This was a great watch. I have two cats (Cashew and Mango), but the rule is they are not allowed out once it gets dark,so they're very into the human rhythm of up at light, asleep at dark. They have evening entertainment though, as we have 4 foxes that regularly visit at night (I leave them food) so it's their own version of Cat TV.
Weirdly though, when I let them out at day break I have regularly seen them playing/chasing the foxes like it's the best playtime - the foxes know I feed them/are aware the cats come from the same house. It's hilarious watching a cat a quarter of the size of a fox chase them around and give them playful punches.
You should start your own YT-channel with videos of those 'Foxy-Cat-Encounters!'
What's more, many of us would LOVE to watch those 'Foxy-Cat-Entcounters', too!
lived under a mountain with houses spread pretty far apart and we had 2 cats. one day a bear was trying to get into our garbage and one of our cats who was the most chill cat in the world named Smokey just walked up to the bear and they acted like they were friends. we just assume that wasnt their first encounter, pretty awesome if u ask me.
Def awesome i d love to see that my 2 fave animals
The bear came to visit Smokey.
'Smokey' is a bears, not a cats name.
Smokey invited the bear over tonthe garbage
@@philflip1963 you don't decide if it's a cats name or not
I can't get over how beautiful and green this neighborhood is. I wanna move there.
It’s painted grass Bwhahahaha
50 hectares of park! Admirable!
You will need a few Euro's that's for sure.
Yes Germany is a beautiful country, as most of Europe in the spring summer.
Germans keep things tidy and clean.
I loved this. I have cats but they are indoor cats. I’ve rescued 3 from outside. The first one was a intact ginger Tom about 5. He was so beautiful. At first I let him out. I didn’t know who he belonged to. He was under my deck in a blizzard. I figured he was forgotten by his family or someone died & he was just let outside. He came home from a fight & I never let him out again. However, he got out a few times only to run under my deck where he has lived. The 2nd was a feral Tom I thought was a teen. Took me months. Eventually he came inside. He was about 3 the vet said. I wasn’t sure if he was a female or male. He’s never been out again. The 3rd was a calico teenager in my front tree trying to catch something to eat. I coaxed her down w food. I figured someone couldn’t handle her & let her go. She was quite a handful. I take her outside w me only. I had another cat that died 2 yrs at 20. He was allowed to go outside in the summer w me, so that’s how the Calico got the privilege to go outside, plus I really couldn’t control her. She never leaves the yard. I’m always outside w her.
A car dropped a box off on my road one day. Went up and found a kitten. Eyes weren't even open. Bottle fed it and what not. He's almost 18 now and is legit like a dog. And surprisingly still fast and agile. Jumps higher then my younger cat that is fat🤣
_A car dropped a box off on my road one day._
I can't tell you how angry this makes me.
@@dannyarcher6370you and I both. Thank god for people like this person who will actually take the box and take care of the kittens inside instead of leaving them for dead. I have 2 nearly 3 year old maincoon cats who’s mother was even found in the middle of the road half ran over. Everyone went over or around her until we got her and took her in and nursed her back to health. Not long after, we had the 2 lovely cats that we have now. I love them like actual kids.
Amazing 💕😽🐾
We had a feral show up one night. We fed her and slowly gained her trust. Took about two years but she moved in and she eventually lost interest in going out at all. We took good care of her. She was such a sweetheart. She suffered medical problems from years of living in the wild. We always wondered where she came from and what her life was like.
You stole my cat!
You're lucky that you got to share in only one of her 9 lives...
@@BWOOHAHAHAAA good, keep it inside lol
We took in a feral cat 10 months ago. Still building trust with him. Sometimes we also wonder where he from and what his life was like in the wild lol
Happy new month Rachel
I hand delivered my furr babies. Momma was bought for my son, and she escaped the just before she was to be fixed and was ended up pregnant. We went to the vet to get her fixed, and he was like she's pregnant. So, we bonded over the three months, and she came to me when she first started labor and made her a nest like bed on my bed, and I stayed up with up with her. A few hours later, our first little bean popped out, and she literally held my arm as she pushed. Then, half an hour later, a second little bean, and then labor stopped. I called the vet, and he said if she didn't deliver the last babie that we had to bring her in at 7am. I dropped her off and came back and bam. Not one more bean but two!!! She was fixed just after he did the surgery to get the babies out. So fast forward a bit, and I was the only one allowed to be near the babies. She would get so exhausted after delivering and then major surgery. She would meow and look at me and be like it's your turn. I am done, lol. And we would switch and she would go relax with my son and I would watch the babies. She would carry each baby to me and take off for a bit. The second they would meow for food, she was back instantly. We ended up keeping two beans and gave two away. The boys are more human than cat. They are now 5, and they think I am also momma and are the biggest sucks. They even talk a lot. Lots of chirping and always tail straight up and happy. They are my babies and are part of the family. I would love to put gps on them and see where they go. They are the only cats on my block and have the whole neighborhood to themselves. Anyways, sorry for the book, like comment lol Have a super awesome day everyone!!!

Enjoyed your ‘book’!! I too had a kitty, Sugar, that got pregnant by,, her brother!🥴 She was only 6 months and didn’t understand. She had 2 babies, both boys in my lap. I made her a bed for them, but she would pick them up and bring them to me. She wanted her babies in my lap! Sweet. They ended up being the smartest kitties, but I made very sure that never happened again!!! God bless❣️
@Jan Ledford it's amazing how they trust us to look after the babies. That is a true bond. Hope you have a super awesome day
Beautiful book 😻
You are a very sweet kitty Mama. God bles you sugar. He loves it when we care for His fur babies 👍❤️
46:28 The parents get together to discuss their kids' behavior 😂
Wished we had this for our orange tabby we had for 17 years. He was an explorer. He roamed all over and visited many I'm sure. He went out at 6 am, hung around the house until after children went to school. Then off he went. He was very regimen. 6am all better get up and he sat on the until 9pm. Then he bathed himself every night at 9pm. Then goes to each child's room and sat with them until they fell asleep. He was a true parent. During the day, he usually brought us decaptitated squirrels, baby rabbits, and bats. He always came home just before the children came home from school. He would go on walks with us. He also walked our eldest and neighbors children to and from school for 3 years. Two of us had asthma during winter at times, he would come sit on our chest and dig in applying pressure. It actually helped calm and relax like a heavy blanket. He could open doors. When neighbor boys played baseball, hecwoukd run outvand sit on the ball. He was so fun! Very social.
Now we have another kitty with a mustache. He is 2. He is now wanting to explore, but people today are so different. They don't let cats roam anymore and or try to keep them. This kitty also comes and sits on our chest and digs in and applies pressure on cold winter nights. I do believe there is a healing aspect to this they are trying to do. Will try a GPS tracker on him.
Cheers. 🐈🐈⬛
The BBC did this documentary in an English Villiage many years ago, it was surprising how many Cat’s had supper at different houses! No wonder we can’t get them to loose weight. It’s good to see another country do the same. I’ve got 7 Cat’s left from the 9 I had. Two are British Shorthair and 5 Burmese. They have their own garden that’s been converted to prevent them leaving home.
When cats bring their catches home, they are trying to feed their people. They would do the same for their kittens.
Much respect to Rudi, a tough cookie.
Indeed. Rudi is a riot. I adopted two male litter mates who are best buds. It is striking how divergent their personalities, behaviors and habits are. Side note: The word "data" is plural You don't say shows. The data show.
When my Dad was sick, cancer, his 2 cats would bring him birds and mice.
And they're trying to teach you how to handle prey, which is why they "play" with it. They want you to practice.
@@brendajoycewhite5747 my Siamese brought my mom a mouse and dropped it on the bed and she yelled for me because she couldn't move due to having a reconstruction surgery of her breast after breast cancer! I was caring for her at my home and our cat never ever done that before!!
Others say they do it to teach you how to hunt because they find you a bad hunter.
Either way, cats shouldn't be let to catch native species (that includes native rodents). That does not include house mice, since they are not native, but sure includes mice that live in the forests and fields, they are different species.
Semi rural UK here. My old cat (sadly lost to cancer) used to range at least a mile, he would bring back rabbits and squirrels and was extremely territorial, he was feral when we got him. Very aggressive but the most loving of cats with us and his adopted brother, who barely left the garden. The current cat (18m old) has spent months getting friendly with the local dogs, a few of them he even plays with, they chase each other round the dog owner's gardens.
What a awesome vet these cats have! What a great understanding he has about cats having souls...I think all these cats are in the right place:) A very interesting documentary. Thanks to the people who put this useful scientific study together for us to view.
we need more vets here that understand and love cats (we always get the dog loving ones)
All animals do and as a vet, something is wrong if you don't understand that 😂
Hats off to Lars for keeping it real, returning to his birthplace in the abandoned factory
Wow. This is the first docu I've seen in a while where the narrators voice isn't drowned out by the music & sound effects. Give those sound people a raise.
I have watched cat tracking videos before and its always amazing how wide reaching they are. When either of our cats are gone the whole day I often wonder just how far afield they have gotten.
I used to have a cat named Rudy. I had to put him down last year due to a cancerous mass on his face that couldn’t be treated because he also had chronic kidney failure, but he made it to 19 years old, so he had a good long life. He was the sweetest, most affectionate cat I’ve ever known, and I’ve had a cat since I was 5 years old (now 37). He was a Maine coon, but ironically, my cat KC looks exactly like Rudi in this documentary (just about 8 years younger).
My parents lived on a corner for most of my childhood. People tend to come around the corner way too fast, despite it being a small residential neighborhood. We had 2 cats get run over (verified) and 1 that just disappeared (presumed run over). After that, we made an agreement as a family that all our cats would stay inside. It limits their territory and might make their life more boring, but we try to make up for that with toys and attention. They definitely have longer, healthier lives when kept inside.
I watched my cat get run over when I was just 10 years old. Poor guy didn't get much of a life sadly. (Munchie - only 2.5 years old) It was so traumatizing and awful that I have never had an outdoor cat again. Even when my mother's cats, who still are allowed outside periodically, come back in I scold her and remind her of what happened to our poor orange friend Munchie. Her cats are very healthy and happy, but I'm always paranoid for the ones who go outside. People drive like damned idiots all the time and you just never know. So for my 2 cats (Stan and Nigel) they live indoors 100%... To help them cope, I've hung kitty hammocks by the windows in clear sight of the bird feeder, and I've placed a bowl of potting soil with wheatgrass and bluegrass growing in it, which they chomp on from time to time... so at least they can still have a little bit of simulated outside time.
A couple of thousand dollars will build a big cat run in your garden.
Few days back,my 6 month old indoor kitten went outside the house when I was sleeping and he got lost. I searched for him everywhere,call his name, ask to my neighbors, but he didn't come back. I tried to control my emotions,but when the night falls I almost lost the hope of finding him again.I was crying badly i cried so much that I even puked.I deleted all his photos and videos because I wanted to forget him. I couldn't sleep properly that night. But a miracle happens when I woke up at 2.27 am he was walking on top of me while I was sleeping on my bed. I couldn't believe this. I was so so happy. Thank God for answering my prayer.
I knew my cats were going further than I imagined, quite scary but they always come home. I keep mine in at night now since some of them have come home with injuries, but they’re happy spoiled kitties. Only a creature with a soul could return love as do my cats & dogs ❤️
Tape some bacon around your cats tail and let him out I bet he will have a good time when he meets some big slobbering pooch😅
How many birds does he kill ?
He probably kills a few that's 8f he's lucky the Chinese weren't in the park.
It's more than cats and dogs who have souls. Makes you want to go vegetarian, doesn't it?
Jussayinnotjussayin'....
😹🚬
I bet if there were meth addict cats in the streets you wouldn't let them go out at all ....
I'm not even allowed to defend myself as a homeless woman. I even get robbed by police. I've lost 8 guitars to police. That's not very nice. Nobody cares. Sorry. I keep forgetting. I hope THEY don't expect others to care when THEY'RE "down and out". I know my help is limited now. Everything's been taken from me.... including my son. Murdered by human traffickers in the FBI. They said it was in retaliation for me speaking up about the child sex trafficking I discovered while on the school board in Port Wing Wisconsin. He was kidnapped, tortured and brutally murdered. They sent me the video of what they did to him.
Nobody cares.
I keep forgetting.
Carry on.....while you can.
I've been obsessed with cats since I was a little kid. After a number of years I quit fighting my obsession. Now I watch UA-cam vids of them every chance I get.
My friends cat started going out at breakfast time. They decided to follow him. He went to the next door basement flat with two OAPs. He was sat at his place at their table eating a boiled egg. The old dears were devastated they thought they were rescuing the little conman. His name was FRODO
LOL cool
The Vet in the video is an absolute animal lover. Thank goodness for him. He is sitting here lovingly staring at the babies
I love this kind vet who saves neglected litters of kittens. Wild cats suffer terribly, as he says.
True - especially with the poachers running around targeting and poaching feral and stray cats and kittens for the cat meat trade now that is has become very lucrative in recent years, due to unchecked immigration.

@@regant.cameron8237 I agree with you, since the grains that are needed to feed the cattle's. chickens, pigs, and lambs, and other livestock's, etc. are skyrocketing in prices due to sanctions on Russia over Ukraine, then watch the feral and stray cats population completely DISAPPEAR, and will appear on many families dinner meals and plates, and restaurant menu's as we speak. Russia has become the largest producer or wheat, barley, corn and other grains in recent years, since many people in western nations tend to like to sit around and play with their devices all day long, and will NOT do this kind of laborious, and back breaking type of work, producing the necessary foods that we have been conveniently enjoy eating all of those years, and taking things for granted as well. I hope you know what I'm getting at?

@@bunjijumper5345 What about animals that eat meat?
My comment was humans who eat meat, the ones in the wild don't have Walmarts with literally hundreds of other things to eat instead of meat. I mean we have so many other choices. Animals do not need to suffer under human beings anymore, I mean who can eat veal and call themselves a decent person? All I can say is if aliens come and see how we treat animals, we deserve the same treatment from them. @@Deploracle
My cat will never leave her home. The world is too big and they can get into so much trouble really quickly so the safest place for my kitty is in the house next to me!
The senior cat got injuried, and the owners still let him go outside. I creat my cats indoors.
@apieceofdirt4681 ~ Very wise!
@@jpet87 Did you mean crate your cats indoors? If so your definitely a responsible kitty parent 👍
I feel the same way about my cats. My heart drops so hard if I think they got out or something happened to them. Especially since we live on a busy street with a bunch of A holes who speed through they’d just get ran over. But one thing I have found that works and gives a good balance is trying to get your cat adjusted to walks with a harness and leash. They get to run around as much as you can put up with, and you can also keep them in bounds and insight the entire time and react to things if necessary.
When I was a kid in the early 80's we had a male cat that would disappear for weeks on end (not neutered. Fixing your animals wasn't really a thing back then). My mother would be coming home from work and see him when she stopped at a light 2 miles from our home. He'd be sitting on the corner. She'd open the passenger door and he'd jump into the car. It became a routine. When he was done roaming and didn't feel like walking 2 miles, he'd just wait for her on the corner at 2:30pm. He also used to bring home girlfriends, always a different cat. My mother would wake up for work at 3:30am and find a second cat waiting in the kitchen. After they ate, they'd leave and we'd never see her again and he'd come back a week or two later.
Lol. Sounds like he was very busy.
😂🤣
wait a minute, I recognize this story...
you sure it were cats? XD
😂😂😂
Cat be getting more bitches than me
I feed a colony of ten cats around my rural house and they all hang out together happily. Same goes for the twenty cats living at the monastery up the road. I live in Cyprus where the oldest archeological find of a cat was discovered - buried face to face with it's owner - nine thousand years ago! My house cat, Frida, also ignores my guest foster kittens when she is not snarling at them, and she'll be glad when they go to their forever home in June.
What a fantastic response to this film!
I'm halftime student at college, and thanks to the miracle of Motorola voice recognition I no longer need to use my fingers to type out words so I can write longer pieces for whoever social media or comments for state agencies all that kind of stuff while still getting A's.
I got my kitty a couple years ago, it was a new living situation and she found me, and so she became my roaming feline, then a year later she brought me five, and one of those unfortunately got attacked by another cat and he died immediately, so I have four left.
But yeah I mean she was gone for a little bit a few weeks, she went she went on her honeymoon with her partner in the neighborhood, and then she came back for nesting and and all that.
However what I noticed was that the fear of separation that these cats evidenced was definitely palpable because having been in the neighborhood they had seen how cats get torn from their mothers only a few days old.
So my cat was really concerned for their for her brood.
in fact, as they were growing up the first year, she slowly migrated away so that they could have more room, when it was feeding time if she was in the area she would always let them eat first and she would just wait back...
Then for some reason one day she took it way too far, she was gone for a month or two, and not long ago a few weeks ago she comes back and she she's limping, think another cat bit her in the leg and she's bleeding and all that.
So I bring her back in and this time I'm not going to let her go from the house because she's going to get a more trouble and she's not ready, so she finally decided to stay she finally decided to accept medicines and bandages, and so now her skin is 100% healed up.
But such a good cat such as this one, who is such a good mother, who has taught her kittens the skill she knows, which basically includes shiatsu style massage and pressure points, and just a wonderful therapy as far as body therapy I've had several injuries and they've seen to it that I'm healed up from my muscular and stress injuries!!!
They're so grateful for the good food, I don't just feed them cat food, most owners you know feed them dry food and occasionally wet food but not here, I share all my food with them, doesn't matter what I'm eating shrimp it could be a steak, the other day I bought a special steak for my birthday and it was a you know a really good steak and I still gave them other cat a portion of it because she had been hurt and because she deserved the best.
The boy that survived, at first as soon as he started getting into heat he started looking at his sister's, and I quickly this abused him of that notion, I trained him never to even contemplate trying to do anything with his sisters because because I would I would kick him out immediately.
He finally got the point, you finally grew up and now he's a really he's the best tomcat I've ever had I've never had a tomcat and this cat not only is he larger but he now he's really sweet now he understands to look out for his sisters in case of other cats, we really bonded as a family and that's because I treat them like I would literally my sons are my daughters
And so as far as fertility, you know in the United States the trend is yeah neuter and spay them or else, well not here I'm not going to chop my boys balls off and I'm not going to tie my girls tubes, the other remedy is hormones.
So yeah so after all that, the 1 year old went and got pregnant herself too, and now she brought me two more, but these two new kittens they are so divine that immediately they were so grateful for having me as her caretaker and I knew that they wanted to be here more than anything, and so I I decided I'll have to keep them and just raise him as my own so now from one straight Kitty that showed up,
I have seven wonderful loving cats who are so incredibly grateful for the food that they get and the medicines, that they really go the extra mile to make sure that I'm feeling okay.
When I just need to slow down, they let me know, and I know that they're doing it on purpose that they know that I'm fatigued that I that they know that I need this or I need that, and they always find the answer they're so bright too.
Anyhow, thanks for the movie and thanks for the UA-cam and all that, and good job congratulations to the scientist and all that, and yeah wow must have been quite a quite a lot of work.

My wife and I have 5 cats. I love them and it's pretty common to find me crashed out on the couch in the living room with 2-3 cats laying on me lol. My wife is paranoid about them getting lost or hurt if they went outside so they're exclusively indoor but they all seem pretty content. I found this video fascinating.
Now you know how much they love their own territory and get stressed with other cats inside all day. Prhaps your wife will let them them outdoors now, so they are free to roam and then come home.
Ugh the smell how do you cope

My last cat who was 18 when she died went out on the staircase one time and got psychologically stuck on the first floor of our three story building. She would not go down or up and when I tried to approach to help her she was so petrified that she began to hiss at me. I called an animal rescue service for help who said he would be there soon but was at present stuck in traffic. I put treats down on the steps, hoping to lure her up another floor but nothing helped. Sheer terror had glued her to one stair and she was remaning there. A friend came over to help, the expert was on the way, I was still hyper nervous and all of a sudden she sat up and sashayed up the stairs to the third floor and the open door of my apartment, strolled in and flicked her tail as if nothing had occurred at all. Cats! The never cease to amaze.
Lol, they do stuff like that! I get a kick out of it, lol 😆 😸🐈 they can be so sadistic at times but I do love cats each one has individual personality and everything is all about them!.. lmao
Ghost?
Although my cats don't get as much exercise, they are safe from harm from diseases and accidents. That puts my heart at ease and protects what I love. I guess not everyone sees it that way...
My cats have always gone outside and not once have any of them ever gotten a disease. When they eat at home they avoid some diseases. I also break up cat fights by chanting next to them. If I get there soon enough I will grab one of them and bring them in my house for awhile. It is usually about food. One cat I fed for ten years and when a big grey cat started coming around to eat it became a fight for who got to stay.
I have a stray cat that I feed and she stays with me 6.00pm 6am. The other 12 hours I always wondered what she's doing. I went from hating cats all my life, to feeding strays. Now I love all animals unconditionally ever since I found the Lord.
I brought a tiny stray home from work 3years ago. My husband never had a cat and is absolutely fascinated with him. He was about 3mo old when I found him so he's primarily wild but he comes and goes as he pleases. He returns home every night of his own will and clearly understands he belongs to our tribe. He adores our Doberman and scent marks her every chance he gets. He is a great joy to us.
Oh I adore them. My Rupert had no night life. We had a strict routine as a result of feral cats who he loved to fight with, given the chance and he was always guarding his territory
He's over 9 years old with me now
I have cats for the last 14 years and with cats for 3 decades and I am amazed by this little beautiful but mean creature. From my experience I knew a lot what is told in the documentary like hunting, wandering, and free lunch, but without any scientific proof. Your research just proved my knowledge. Thanks.
I care for the homeless cats in my neighborhood. I have an out outbuilding with several individual areas with blankets and heating pads. Plus, i have an electric heater in there. It stays pretty comfortable in the winter time. All the cats get spayed or neutered and vaccinated. In combination with all the food, we spend quite a lot on cats. But I love them dearly, and I'm a firm believer in spaying and neutering. Several litters have been born in that outbuilding by new cats that came here already pregnant. I've had to find homes for many kittens. A handful still live here and make up the majority of the group.
44:14 I encountered this phenomenon years ago at university when walking home from my friend's house in the early hours a little worse for wear. In the middle of the town with no one else around there was about 7 or 8 cats just hanging out. I genuinely wasn't sure if I was imagining it at the time because it seemed like such an unlikely thing to see!
Something in their collective consciousness where people and cats have gathered in places of higher learning? Food for thought
The thing to really beware of, (whilst walking home late at night, 'a little worse for wear') is if you see a cat standing on its hind legs playing a violin.
Yo that happened to me also. There were several cats in a circle in the middle of the street around 3 in the morning . It was like they were having a meeting

Yes, it was, wasn't it!? I am enjoying every minute of it.
when my Pete was alive, he was the most relational cat I have ever had. He did a lot of things seen in this video of cats. When I sat at the sewing machine, he'd jump on the back of my chair and drape himself over my shoulder and nuzzle my ear until I was done. And ornery, he was notorious about snaggin' a chicken nugget from my plate and trot victoriously out of the room with it. When he played, it was like there was someone invisible playing with him. I believe in angels. The bible says every human being is given one at birth. My friend tells me she's asked God to give me three more, because I tend to be a bit fearless. I believe its an angel that played with him. A week before I unknowingly would have to put him to sleep. I discovered an obscure verse in the bible, that animals that serve honorably on earth return to the Creator. I had one of those cat trees. Pete played on it like a monkey. He was tubby and aging, and he fell off the top level and broke his back. I took him to the vet. He was already paralyzed. He didn't seem to be in pain. As the vet administered the medicine, Pete Pete went to sleep in my arms for the last time. (no more cat trees). That night I had a dream. I was sitting on my bed writing like usual. I looked up and there was Pete. He was facing away from me, and there were two sets of human looking legs and sandaled feet on each side of him. Pete started walking away from me, stopped, looked back at me with his perpetual smile that he had. Then turned away and with his signature question mark tail wag, all three walked away and the dream faded. I awoke, tears in my eyes. I knew that Mr. Pete returned to his Creator and I will see him again one day. And he was ushered into eternity by two angels at his side. (btw: heaven isn't the end. Heaven is the next age to come) Pete was 10y/o. And just this past Thursday, Feb 24th, 2022, Ms. Tilly, another tubby little tabby, at the age of 19 went to be with the Creator also. I now have just one left. Tag, my shadow, a ragdoll that has no idea how to be a cat. When they are all gone. I will get another, only an elderly cat. My health if failing too. Depending on your health and age, I'd recommend a kitten, two or three are best at a time. So they can have years of imprinting on you. When they rub their cheek on you, they are marking you as their very own. Its a great honor they bestow. If older, sketchy health, elderly cats, though they can come with health problems too. If you can't afford medicine or vet bills, go for a healthier elderly cat to grow old with.

My feral cats adapted wonderfully indoors. I fed them for a couple of years near my job, they are happy indoors and not once have they tried to run out the door. The one has FiV probably from a fight when he was a street cat. If I didn’t take him in he would have probably suffered a horrible death. Every place is different, I personally wouldn’t want to risk my cat being killed by a car or a hawk, or poisoned by car haters. My cats also love each other, they are all males.
I love cats. I had a Russian Grey but I lost him a mixed up adoption process with the Humane Society of Washington, DC. But he is with a good family. I am happy for them and him.
Rudi is a smooth operating veteran that knows about longevity in the turf game. For sure a kingpin in the area, despite his age.
My cat was adopted. He's such a blessing. Loving, mostly sweet 😇 and very vocal. Sleeps inside for most of the day then runs around outside after dark. I often wonder what he gets up to.

A super affectionate and friendly cat named Archie greets me EVERY DAY when i get home from work. I guess he can hear my car as I approach and I could bet money that when I arrive, he is bolting across the lawn, over the fence or from behind the shed to come and say hello. I didnt know where he lived until I posted on a neighbourhood Facebook page and found out that his home is 3 blocks away!! Wild! I love Archie
I've had cats since I was a tot. Can't love them more! Such beautiful, fascinating creatures!
I had the most wonderful cat that I rescued from a mad man. It was kind, loyal, affectionate just a spectacular cat. It lived to almost 20 and I miss it even now.
I wonder if Rudi was patrolling his territory like such when he was younger or is it know that he is just more experienced and learns how to manage a large territory without expending too much energy?
There was a big black female cat in my old neighborhood. Over 10 years I found out she routinely visited 8 houses and ate at everyone of them. She was a real killer. Usually she caught 1 bird or mouse per day. She even ate her catches. I was amazed. She was extremely clean. She used to sleep in my bed nearly every night. Eventually I moved away. I wonder if she befriended the new owner?
I was walking in my neighborhood yesterday and a black cat cozied up to me. He really loved attention and rolled around on his back in front of me, swatted at my ankles as I tried to keep walking. Cute😎
He was looking for a slave to feed and take care of him, cats are the biggest grifters.
My neighbours cat did the same thing to me for 10 years. I think the swatting at my ankles meant that he wanted me stop trying to walk away because he wasn't finished receiving attention from me. Sometimes he would just sit on my foot making extra sure I got the message to stay. Love it!!

Very interesting. Glad u covered the homeless often feral cats emphasizing the importance of neutering. I live in a neighborhood in Oregon USA. Since I moved here I have had neutered countless cats. I have heating pads on front porch for those who are not feral or semi. So many hit by cats or die from FIV or something else. Just when I think things are under control more show up. 85 and get in despair about the cats sometimes. I am the only one that deals with. People around here often don't neuter. Good documentary. Had a cat named Charlie who lived to 22 and 4 months. A wonderful cat
My father grew up in Whiting, IN on Wolf lake. His cat, "Felix" liked to roam the railroad tracks on the shore of the lake. One evening, Felix did not come home for supper. The next morning, he'd still not come home. My Dad got worried about him and went searching for him on the shore of the lake. He found him lying on the railroad tracks. Some horrible person had shot Felix in the head with a .22 caliber bullet. 😥
I followed my cat one day unbeknownst to her. I watched her go behind neighbors houses across the street, and then suddenly go into big water drain for the neighborhood. I waited and waited, a good 15 minutes. Called her… no answer, and I soon decided to walk back home. A few minutes later I saw her coming up through my back yard, from the creek that runs behind my house. She must have walked through the drain to the creek, a good hundred yards or more and under the road. An adventurous girl. She was 18 yrs old at the time.

My parents' beloved cat our child passed away this year. We will always remember her and she's always in our thoughts. She could live 10 years. We were so sad its already 10 years but we were hoping she would live long. My parents looked after her the best feeding her with fish, canned fish, boiled chicken. She had her own chef: my mom. In winters she was only inside apartment but in summers she was out in the summer house. But she was too much trouble in summer house catfighting with stray cats who live in the area. She had some boyfriends too. She was always gone at night so probably she was going far far away than we expected.
As a multiple cat family, I found this video fascinating as well as entertaining. I watched it twice already and will again. Thanks.
Awesome. Ha! So glad you enjoyed enough to watch twice!
I had many cats in my life, only one refused to leave the property… until one day, she went across the road and laid in the grassy field looking at home… she never wanted to go any further. I think she just wanted to see home from a different perspective.

My cat sleeps with me every night. Follow me everywhere and hangs out under my couch when I'm gone. He's more predictable than any dog I've ever owned. He's technically a kitten under a year old. Maybe a couple months old. I've built him a comfortable routine and given him his space. Mi casa es su casa.
white cat at 36:00 is identical to my childhood cat Mozart. He had one green eye and one blue eye which I loved. He was a big cat. He made it to 19.

Women always live longer. lol

I also love cats. Growing up we never had cats how ever I was always fond of the feline. I had my first at 18 and at 57 I’m in my 3rd. Each new cat in my life has been completely different in personality. I thought myself most astute when it came to cat until I watched and thoroughly enjoyed your film. What a wonderful oasis for a cat life. Thanks again for a very will film filled with lots of educational data on the life of a cat.
I’m glad to see they are testing an orange cat. They’re in their own little world. We have one and he’s so special. 😻
The music in this video is glorious! Kudos. (Actually, the narration is excellent too. The whole thing is well worth watching.)
I can tell her where a lot of cats go in the evening! I have a gorgeous furbaby of my own, but I also feed a couple of cats who live in my neighbourhood! I think a lot of cats walk around visiting friends who live nearby. They're very social animals, especially when it's raining and they want a nice, warm and dry place to come to!!! Years ago, a friend of mine had a boiler in her kitchen and her cat, who had a cat flap, used to bring all his cat friends home. 🤣 They would crowd into her kitchen - about 20 of them!!! - and sleep there for the night. Then one night she came downstairs and all the cats tried to get out through the cat flap at the SAME TIME!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for sharing this video. Lots of love from Amanda in Melbourne, Australia ❤ xox ❤
This is so funny! I can't imagine 20 cats trying to escape simultaneously!
I had to train my cats to come in before dark due to so many predators in my area. It worked: they come in for dinner and then go to bed for the night.
How did you train them? I'm planning to get a cat this summer but the idea of them staying out all night worries me!
I do the same although my male tends to stay out later. I cannot sleep or rest until all 3 are I for the night. Like clockwork they are meowing in my ear between 5 and 7 every morning to be let out for the day.
How? I have a dominant female. Who always want to go out but i live in a block and don't have a cat flap. So i spent many a nights walking around at 11pm calling her.
How did you do it. I’m worried about cars when they are out at night
@@charly.s96, I apologize for not responding sooner. Depending on the time of year i personally don't feed them after a certain time.

I had two cats. Completely different from eachother but shared their domain. Spooky followed me home from trick or treating. Kitty was a cat someone brought to the police station while I was getting my bike licenced. Spooky was a snob. Very clean and unadventurous. Kitty stayed local but was fearless of everything. Spooky wouldnt touch catnip, kitty rolled around in it.
When it was time to feed them, I'd put the bowls down and immediately they would sniff their bowl and go to the other ones bowl. They were certain the other was getting something better.
They’re asking the good questions “what’s do they do” “where do they go” “what motivates them.” I always wonder when I look at my cat. This video also has no business being so cute!!!

@@SenpaiCig8383 facts bro
I suspect the border dispute truce between Lottie and Rudy was somewhat facilitated by the cyclists we see, who they both find frightening with the added bulk of their strange machines and their status as strange humans. Cats are keen to avoid fights where there are complicating factors, including being watched by strange beings like us humans. I wonder how much of that is fear of those distractions and how much is relief that, if both parties, at least, feign distraction, they can breakoff the dispute without being assumed to concede. The drawn out psyching out that goes on in cat fights is both fascinating and hilarious. If you can manage to not interrupt, even fixed kitties show a ferocious and earnest side we otherwise never get to see.
I think they feign distraction as a way out, to save face.
Fixed? Cats were never broken

I was a little afraid for the cats watching this at first. Where I live, all of these cats would have been eaten by coyotes or even cougars. Everyone that lives with cats makes sure they're all indoors by dark or don't go outside at all. Then I realized that in Germany, the cats are the apex predators, and can enjoy their freedom without fear of being eaten. It seems like a cat paradise.

I have 6 cats. One of my male cats got lost for about a week when he was 3. We found him. He's so happy to be home that he rarely leaves the house now. Indeed, he only goes outside on the balcony or the backyard if the door is left open and my husband or I are outside too. He's 7 now. He is enormously interested in the scents of the other cats that continue to go outside but has no interest in venturing out.
Seems like trauma not alarming though my cat hates going outside he'll fight to stay inside and I believe it has to do that when he was a few months old we took him camping and he didn't really like it especially that we gave him a shower so yiah does not like it if we take him out the home. He's a good cat though just has agoraphobia because of a bad experience and also I believe it's because he did a comparison and was like nah I'm living life inside yall other cats can have the outside.
@@memoofjacoboarbenzjuanarev9724 We fostered and then adopted most of our cats. Java, the cat that was lost, and his sister Mocha, were bottle-fed by an earlier foster parent because they were abandoned. They came to us at about the age of 6 weeks. (I have always suspected that the mother must have been a pure-bred Chartreux cat. She likely got out one night, and the resulting "half-breed" kittens were relinquished to the local humane society. Mocha and Java look and behave like Chartreux, except for a wisp of white on their chests.) The kittens have always been nurtured by humans. To this day they sleep somewhere close to us. Either on the bed or on the desk where my husband and I work. Mocha will often extend her paw, place it on my arm while I'm typing. It's touching. But a little heart wrenching that they are so insecure. There's no question that Java has feline PTSD. I would love to track Mocha as she still ventures out for a few hours at night.
@@dawnandy7777 Why they say scared like a house cat but yiah cats are territorial more want to feel safe where they are. There's therapy for them to cure them of their anxiety if need be but if they're happy no need especially that they are more indoor it seems just provide them spaces they feel safe and can call their own should boost their confidence 😊 but also they might just like their humans company and want effection. Haha 😄 then follow her around or cam her for a week 🤣 to satisfy your curiosity but if I had to guess they just do what cats do inside 😉 explore,scent up stuff,and plenty of napping 😴 unless their getting into scraps with other cats not much to see also cats are very local so if your a jogger you get the explore part just on 2 legs instead of all fours and then just nap under a warm tree 🌳 hahahaha.
@@dawnandy7777 He never got lost lmao, he just spent some time away from you, my cat did the same.
All I know is I love Kittys so much I feed all the strays in my neighborhood.
I love them all! Rudy reminded me so much of one of my Kittys.
Absolutely an awesome documentary and we should all learn from that as he had said they have a soul also and remember I think is all life does God's gift
Wow, fantastic documentary! In Queens, NY there are 3 outdoor cats which visit my house every day for years for food! One of them specifically comes to visit my indoor cat, they will sit together for hours at a time! They are such interesting creatures.
I care for a small colony of semi-feral cats and always wondered what they do at night. This was fascinating.
I have a cat which I rescued from the street. He badly needed surgery as he would form crystals in his urine and requires a special diet. So poor Rex is not allowed to get out of the house. I have 3 dogs--2 Chihuahuas and a Dachschund. To this day, they are not friends but neither are they enemies. They tolerate each other's presence.
I also walk around our park everyday and I feed the stray cats there. Now I know why they recognize me from afar! Thank you for this very informative documentary. 💕🐈
If read about how they are giving rabies vaccine to animals via pet food that has the vaccine included in it, and the food smells of fish. Some organizations have been spreading it out to animal populations, to reduce the desease. You have to specially order it, but you might think of throwing it out to the colony.
@@amapola53 Your cat lives a miserable life, you wouldn't like to be kept inside one building everyday of your life....
@@CristanioPeweyyy , pet cats in New York City remain in their owners' small apartments. I had one as a child.
@@CristanioPeweyyy Cats should not go outside. What's the matter with you? Are you purposefully trying to drive birds and small mammals, reptiles and amphibians to extinction? Cats are an invasive species everywhere. They play no role in the ecosystem. They are unnatural. They are not a part of nature. They decimate wildlife. They have driven 63 animal species to extinction and threaten 400 more. Shame on you. You are a nature hater. See the channel Defenders of Humans and the Natural world if you care about nature.

My cat gets stuck up in a tree all night sometimes, other times he wants back in by meowing at me from outside . He invites his two brothers over for dinner breakfast and lunch quite often .
