I want to beat kittens so they chill!
Woah careful you might cut yourself on that edge
For real tho, where can I find tunes like this
@Ang Bon fuck anime
@@Adama.1 I remember being 12 and feral. It's okay, man. You'll come to accept new things, too.
Kitten is like:
GET AWAY
_GET AWAY_
*GET AWAY*
GE- hey is that *_chicken?_*
*INTENSE LICKING*
*licking* *intensifies*
At least it wasn’t a baby pig
1:30
LOL'd way too hard at this comment!
I know it’s not a laughing matter but I have to admit it was kinda comical to see the kitten hissing and then all of sudden started licking the spoon. 😂
I was cracking up too!🤣
it reminded me of when I got mad as a kid and then my mother will give me some dish that i love and i would eat it while trying to pretend that i was still angry lol.
Me too lol
Her "ok but I'm still upset" way of licking😂
MandaFandaa that was funny
1:40. That death stare while still licking the spoon is totally adorable.
Upset but also food
@@margotrosendorn6371 You mean hangry?
@@PsychotartNo more a mix of need of something an anger/resentment at needing someone else for it.... It's a very particular mood/look.
Me eat this chicken but me don't really want it
Kitten: *HISSSES*
**Baby Chicken Food Arrives**
Kitten: Exceptions can be made
I love how reluctantly the food-motivated kitten eats. She's eating and enjoying it but she's also mad about it.
My girlfriend in a nutshell 😂🙄 love her crazy ass tho.
starve the living shit out of a kitten, and they will eat food off your hands just based off survival.
@Gustavo Joris oh what's wrong troll, not gonna reply? Back to mummys basement you go ❤
@Gustavo Joris man, calm yo tits.
Why are you all agureing on a video on cats?
Cat: "I'm dangerous *mlem mlem mlem BE AFRAID *mlem mlem mlem I'm Watching you *mlem mlem mlem..
Blaž Bohinc omg yes
USE 2 ASTERISKS
USE 2 QUOTATION MARKS
I got a good laugh out of your comment, reminds me of The Far Side, lol.
Yo yo kva dogaja prjatu

"What are you thinking of?"
"Of how dangerous you are."
"I'm not dangerous."
I gotta watch that movie now. (Arch of Triumph)
I really like this dialogue! I'm curious, what movie is this from?
@@edherdman9973 Dude, same!
I socialized an 8 year old cat. It took 2 years and lots of bites, but patience won. He was never a lap cat but he was a good companion and trusted me until the end (at 15 1/2). Miss ya Nemo!
You are such a kind and patient soul. Not many older cats get that kind of treatment
Kitten: i angry😾
Kitten:*tastes food*
Kitten: i lick but still angry 😾🍗
That's fear not anger aha
LOL
She angy lol
So angy!!

Referring to feral cats as "spicy" is now my favorite thing ever 😂
Literally this. When the score card with spice level came up I actually died 😂
I like that term 'spicy'. All my cat have been former ferals. Ferals are the best. They need all the help one can possibly give them.
I named my lil feral girl Clove, so she's my spicy spice girl XD
@@iridescentelegance that's a very cute name
Yeah just like chlorine gas is just spicy air
We rescued a feral kitten whose mom/siblings had been run over by a car. He was shivering and almost dead from thirst/starvation when we found him. We were out riding bikes and brought him back to our house intending to give him to a shelter, but he was so cute and funny that we fell in love with him and ended up keeping him. He play-fights with the cat we had before getting him, but they get along pretty well over all. He is now two years old and we love him so much!
That is so sweet.
Love her transition from hissing to licking the spoon 🤣😍 and the spice level 🌶🌶🌶🌶 is so cute
Next time someone says I'm lazy I'll reply: "I'm very food-motivated."
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol...now thats funny
Perfect response.
same
I might start telling people my “spice level” when I’m asked “how are you?”
1:29
"don touch me, me angy"
*licks spoon*
"me less angy, but me angy"
More like scared🥺
Physically violated and inappropriately described as "spicy".
That's racist and I demand social warrior justice!

@Badger Drawz *[Shaking violently]* Are you trying to say women aren't beautiful?!
I just gave our spicy feral a squirrel liver (traditional Cherokee food) and she was chill ever since. She's 9 now, got her at around 3 or so months.
“I needed to know if she was food motivated at all”
Franny: *HISS* *HISS* *HISS* ... 👅👅👅
hiss hiss nom hiss hiss nom nom hiss nom nom nom
Kitten was like “I’m so mad and I hate you but I love the food.”
It’s soooo adorable.
It's not hate.......it's called fear. I've tamed few feral kittens......it's not hard if you spend lots of time with them.
tsundere mode on, that was all xDDD
Literally me, right before I do cardio.
"This sucks. I hate everything about it. I'm still gonna do it, but I'll look mad the entire time. 😠"

This video gave us hope. We trapped a feral kitten 4 days ago. He’s very spicy!! He scratches and bites and hisses😮. It’s our first time domesticating our previous cats were not feral. We will just take it slow and steady, we know we can help him!
Update on spicy kitteh plz?
How did you go? I trapped my cat 8 months ago and she’s done really well since recovering from her surgery.
Beautifully explained. My daughter took a feral kitten in a rural setting, papoosed it and carried it around all day. By the end of the day, the cat was done doing feral cat stuff 😂
I did something like that with two different feral kittens. The first one was hiding in my yard and I managed to sneak up and grab him by the scruff of the neck. I wrapped him up and brought him in the house and just held him in my lap even though he was struggling and after maybe 15 minutes he started purring and I kept holding him for another 15 minutes. I used to raise horses and I learned about imprinting from a vet. With a new foal you just touch them all over and if it takes say 17 times before the foal gets used to you touching it’s ears, you keep doing it for 17 more times. So I did this with the kitten and he’s now the friendliest and most loving cat I've ever had.
The second kitten, all black, showed up on my deck on a cold Halloween night, crying and shivering. I grabbed her and brought her in and did the same thing. She’s so happy to have a home! She loves being held and patted but she’s nervous with my hands so I’ll try hand feeding her. Thanks!
A feral kitten climbed into a hole under my vehicle and rode 30 miles! All we could hear was crying but we couldn't find him. During the wee hours I laid in the street with a flashlight and saw two glowing eyes but he wouldn't come near me. Finally I lured him with tuna. That was a year ago. Ari is now part of the family. Just a gorgeous, affectionate tabby.
@Donna S. Thx for opening your heart and home to a creature in need.!!
Beautiful story
Donna Shinall awww, thank you for rescuing him!!!
beautiful x
Yaaay!!!
"I needed to know if she was food motivated at all."
Kitten: HISS! HISS! HISS! HISS! HISS!
Kitten: Is that chicken? It tastes like chicken.

It just takes patience and kindness. Almost any feral cat will come around.
I love the term: spicy kittens. Not mean, not hostile, spicy. Because they aren't mean, not necessarily hostile, just scared and in need of love.
Wrap a Spicy kitten and make a Spicy Purrito

@@momo1461 and so is Karen racist. See soon bread will be racist too. And donuts and milk
i love the part where he’s giving her food and she’s hissing and backing up, and then she sniffs it, stops, and starts licking it. it was the funniest and cutest thing i’ve ever seen
edit: it’s at 1:25
"Hey... that's pretty good."
“Oh... okay”
"Hiss! Hiss! HISS!!! Hmmmm, foood. Me likes food" -> Spoon goes away -> "hiss?"
" get away from me..!.. Oh.. Is that.. Food?
Best thing she never breaks eye contact with him.
I'm so glad all the spicy kittens have their homes now. 🏡 🌶🐈💕
I don’t know why this didn’t pop up on my radar until now. I know it’s many years later … but I just have to applaud your perseverance. I’ve been doing TNR for about 30 years but have never bitten off a challenge like this. Thank you for demonstrating that it is possible.
When I was a kid, I ended up accidentally socialized a feral kitten in the neighborhood we lived in. I had no idea what I was doing at the time as I was very young. I just kept feeding, petting, and playing with him. Every day he'd come back for more attention and food. Sometimes with other cats from his litter and around the neighborhood. There came a point where he wanted to come into our house and my mom wasn't sure that was a good idea because of our other cats. But I let him in because hearing him cry was upsetting me. He got along well with our other cats but he did end up having fleas. We took care of that though and he became a part of the family. We took him with us when we moved from one side of the US to the other side. He was my first cat and he was a very good cat.
thank u for sharing
Wait, your family have cats but that was your _first_ cat?
@@acturusgarcia6027 as in her cat, like for me I have other cats but for my birthday I got my first cat, aka first cat I took care of.
Great story. Thanks!
ah shit i'm not crying you're crying
Franny:
“Spicy Level 🌶🌶🌶🌶”
Sean : spicy level 🌶🌶
Oh lawd he spicy
Cayenne pepper! 😂
It looks like Scoville Heat Units can be applied to kitties!
I'm craving chinese for some reason...
How sweet that you socialize the cats so that they can get adopted! All that work and then someone else gets to enjoy the results of your hard work. That's really quite something.
it’s always so funny when a kitten is being spicy but then gets a little taste of food and you can see something click in their little head like “oh. that’s actually tasty”
"I spend one to two hours every day just convincing her that people are not a threat."
No joke i need that treatment lol
try therapy!
Honestly some of us are cruel assholes.
Adrijana Radosevic wow, what a great reply
I might do this, eating while socializing it would tone my social anxiety down
A cat cozzie and hang out at the colony and youll get yours😻
i found a kitten on the street, who was pretty much Satan reincarnated, I adopted her and she turned out to be the nicest cat ever xD
XD
pawsome
Lol 😂😂😂 "satan reincarnated"🤣🤣🤣 thank you Rebecca for saving her ❤️❤️
One time I adopted a kitten who was Attila the Hun incarnated, eventually he turned out OK but he is still hunting squirrels.

That's so cute when she was angry but licked the spoon. Sooooo sweet. ❤️
Cat: what is this!
Human: food
Cat: Disgusting.. give me more!
kittens tryng to be scary is the cutest thing ever
This is what the aliens say when we try and use conventional weapons against them
Cute if you're no where near them. They will rip you to shreds. Those nails and teeth are like needles. That cuteness will send you to the ER.

"This playful body language shows she wants to engage but she just doesn't trust people yet". So relatable.
Same here.

Amen to that.
You're talking about me there.
I usually get really upset seeing wild and scared cats, I love them so much and it's just painful to see them scare. This video ended up giving me hope and it was genuinely so sweet. I think your calm voice and the smooth grooves helped a lot.
Simp
Only cats can slurp baby chicken food off a spoon AND never take the “I want to murder you” look out of their eyes😂😂 gotta love those spicy kitties❤❤
"when someone has a deeply held belief, they're not going to change their minds after one conversation" love love love this
However, if you feed them before the conversation...they might be nicer, ha, ha!
What is there to love? That's a bad thing.
I love it because it's insightful, and shows that human connection is needed before you can influence someone's beliefs. If everyone changed their mind after one conversation, then there would be chaos. Everyone would be influenced by everything. When having a conversation with someone, it's important to keep in mind their beliefs, and how they came to those beliefs.
@@clannahbanana5967 In reality, most people are deeply invested in completely illogical and false beliefs which they won't relinquish even if they are repeatedly proven to be incorrect, and the world would be a far better place if you could convince the average person with just one logical conversation to abandon their baseless convictions.
@Invictus perhaps, but I believe life is not so black and white. Everyone has reasons behind what they believe, whether it's logical or not. In my experience I've had friends shift their perspectives only After I got to know them personally and Listened to/respected their perspective. That being said, these were also rational and open minded people so that's a huge factor.

Love, love, LOVE the before/after contrast shots at the end! I lost my beautiful Baby Girl on 12/26/22 and I find these rescue/socialization videos to be so healing.

Cats are just as lovable as dogs. You just have to earn their love and trust. You won't be sorry. Thanks for rescuing them! Help a stray if you can.
Kitten really went "I HATE YOU I HA- this food is delectable."
It wasn't hatred, but fear. If you watch Frannie's eyes all through the vid, you notice the pupils get narrower as she becomes less afraid. Along with ear position and tail movement, a cat's eyes tell you a lot about how she's feeling. Oh, and the paw-kneading also tells you that she's getting more comfy.
“This is some serious gourmet sh-“
Hhhhhhiiiiiiiissssssssssscrumptious!
Kowalski it was more; "GET AWAY GET AWAY GET- finally some good fucking food"
The "hissing kitten licking the spoon" has been made into a gif. It's such a great moment 😄

i have an 18 month old stray semi feral kitty we just brought inside. she has the EXACT same behaviors. we're going on 2 months now. she's getting better. she LOVES people, she just doesn't trust them yet. cries when she is sequestered in her room alone. she is fearful of hands and feet and legs! she looks just like your kitten!🤞
A few years ago a feral cat hid 4 baby kittens in my mechanic shop, soon afterward I saw the mother cat dead on the busy highway that was near my house, so I started putting kitten food and water out for them and fortunately they were big enough to eat it even though they were terrified of me, one kitten a tom was more bold than the rest and he tamed down quickly, so I put an ad in the paper and he got adopted, then another kitten tamed down so that one got adopted too, then the third kitten was also adopted, until a little female kitten was left, she was the most scared of all the litter and I thought she would never ever be tame enough to hold her and pet her, but to my surprise after her siblings were all gone she quickly bonded to me and she even climbed up my leg all the way to my shoulder one time(that hurt! because she had sharp claws). But amazingly she became a very friendly and loving kitten and she turned out to be the very best of the whole litter and she also got adopted. All 4 feral kittens found homes.
God bless your kind heart for rescuing these orphaned kittens. I am sure that God knew what he was doing when he sent them to you
Sad for the mother cat but I'm happy for the kittens ❤
This is such a wholesome story. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So sorry you had to find out about the mother cat that way. I once saw a dead cat left on the road which really ruined my week and the image is still burnt in my mind. Downer out of the way, I'm so glad you took in those little ones and made sure each and every one of them is well taken care of forever! ❤️
Great story!
"I knew she hated me and she didn't wanna be there" Man that's how my last date went.
Bet she ate all the food aswell..
Did you try hand feeding?
Did you try petting her ?
@@jnoel776 joke

I just really want to thank TNR efforts because when we took in a stray from the streets we found that she had been neutered and I wonder if her experience with TNR helped her not be nearly as feral as she could have been, (and it was a relief to find her neutered). She was still super skiddish, but, the moment I made first contact with her after months and months of feeding her, she seemed to recognize the gesture and bonded immediately. She lives a happy and warm life with us now, and I couldn't ask for a better cat in all the world, she's the sweetest, most gentle and loving cat I've ever experienced, and I used to be pretty terrified of cats before her. She's not at all how she was out there in the wild, the way these cats truly transform is so amazing. I actually didn't know the term "TNR" before this video, thank you for such an informative video!
oh, Franny's slow blink is pure bliss after that angry first few weeks
The little peppers that were used to describe her spiciness were so adorable.
I thought it was kinda cute that their "spiciness" was represented with them, but the peppers themselves-- adorable?
"don't be mad..."
kitty: *is hella mad*
honestly, she's a mood😂
I think I could get that guy to calm down and sit with me in a day or two. So cute.
I don't know you personally, but I love you! No words to express how much I appreciate what you do.
I wish I could wrap an enraged human with a towel to be able to scratch his head and hand feed him until he gets nice and sweet.
Isn't that just marriage? It's basically how I socialized my husband when we first got married.
we're either going to have to soon or die. Please let me know how if you figure it out. :-)
I imagine that's what having a baby is like
Humans need touch, too. Maybe not a towel but a fuzzy blanket or soft robe and a hug. Talk softly to them and provide with delicious noms or chocolate.
Always have chocolate on hand for the female humans, though it can work on male humans, too.
Soft, soothing sounds like Mike Nesmith ( *Tropical Campfires* ), or Neil Diamond ( *Taproot Manuscript* ) or Mike Oldfield ( *Songs of Distant Earth* ) or other easy-listening music.

the part where she first licks the spoon will forever be in my top three of Flatbush posts
I thought the same thing! She’s still ready to hiss, the expression on her face doesn’t change, but she sticks her tongue out of the side of her mouth and laps up the yummy food!
I couldn’t stop laughing when I first saw it
It’s the instantaneous hiss-to-lick that kills me.
She looks so surprised that she likes it! XDD
It brought me to tears😻
As a young kid I grew up in an apartment complex - The other silver teethed lil’ crotch goblins would torture the kittens and cats, one of them took a pair of scissors to an orange cats paw. Me and my mom would save all the kittens around the complex, we named the orange one Phoenix because they regenerate - we healed his paw and found him a new home as well as all the others (maybe kept a few 🥰) Thank you for being a kind human being
Kittens are the easiest to socialize.. you just have to desensitize them with positive touch. They will eventually warm up! With my feral cat I'd play rough without bite or claws.. he eventually submitted after about two weeks and was so cuddly

This is framed incorrectly, no offense. Conversation does NOTHING to change the mind of a DEEPLY held belief..ACTIONS do.
legit the smartest fuckin thing that i wish EVERYONE could understand.

I was able to get my spicy feral baby to be a loving lap kitty by watching this video and others. It took us from Father's Day 2021 until January 14, 2022, he was about 3 months old when we started, for my Lemonade to accept mommy's luvins. 😍
Oh God Franny is utterly adorable.

This was defs the funniest moment, I kind of expected the next caption to be "This kitten had to go into the TNR stream because she was untamable". Nice to see Zooey eventually adapted herself to the role of a pampered pet :-)
It's true that cats and dogs are very different, but given enough time, support, and attention, a cat can become just as loving and sociable. You have to work for it but it's there.
This adorable bean reminds me of my current cat, Baki. She was born outside and was in the early stages of socializing when we decided to adopt her from an in law. She did not like being around people at all, but she just walked right up to me the first time I saw her. If I moved she ran, but that was a great sign to us. We adopted her and dedicated a lot of time to showing her we love her and the house is just as much hers as ours. Now she greets each of us ever morning with a loud squeak, constantly begs us for pets, and I actually have to tell her to get off my lap rather than beg her to hop on these days. I absolutely love her, and her little ear notch that gives us a chance to tell her origin story.
I love how there’s a “Spice Level” for kittens. I’ve socialized a few feral kittens in my life, with VERY different spice levels 😂😂. Feral cats are so sweet if you put the effort in..
Agree >^.^
That's what my best friend does for a living. All of their cats are Strays that they brought in and socialized plus they used to Foster kittens.
Stoned Raccoon ........Thanks for fostering, rescuing kittens, cats, etc. Isn't it soooo rewarding! There's such a huge need for helping ALL animals ...... especially kill shelters, homeless, dog meat trade, etc. You know what I mean!?! I only pray others see the need and want to help. Peace / Blessings to you & yours!!
Stoned Raccoon
Amen!
My Nehemiah was TNR and quite spicy. He was indoor and outdoor until one day he came home with a badly broken arm. I took him to a surgeon and three pins and one screw later he was healed. He still has a limp but now he is such a joy. He keeps me from being spun all the time (i.e. he keeps me sane) and he also appreciates me for helping him and providing him his safe place. He completed me in every way possible.
I love how at 1:34 shes just trying so hard to be angry and look ferocious while licking up baby food its really cute
Franny is such an adorable little feral cutie!
Wow, you guys did a phenomenal job rescuing these poor kittens and changing their social behavior. A lot of props in this video, great job 😃😃😃!!!
amazing how she went from hissing and being afraid at the sight of your hands to rubbing her head against your hands for scratches in a matter of weeks... really amazing to see this
Necro that’s females in general lol
Ok, boomer.
**socialized a bunch of spicy kittens**
*Everyone Liked That*
that's literally all it's about with any feral/wild animal, trust and patience.
Taming feral kittens is a lot of work but is so incredibly rewarding. I've fostered a few for my local shelter and they're honestly more fun than already socialized house kittens. One of my resident cats is a former feral, who was caught by my neighbors when she was 6 weeks old. My local shelter friends agreed to back her vetting and I fostered her. She went from spicy to sweet in just 3 weeks. She was such an amazing kitten by then that we adopted her and today she is a fabulous family member. She has the most friendly and loving personality of all of our resident cats. She never leaves my side. I cannot imagine my life without her. ❤️
Chill beats guy: The kitten still has an issue with my hands....
Kitten: I WILL NEVER FORGET HOW YOU GRABBED MEHHHHHHHHH
When an old lady in my street died, they found about 30 cats in her house. Also wild kittens living in the cupboards and in bad shape. So I adopted two. I let the cats "decide", sat with my wife on the floor in a room with all the wild kittens and waited to see which ones showed some interest and curiosity. The first days I was scratched all over the place. I used the same methods as you and it took a lot of time. But both became the most loving cats ever. The female would not move from my wife's side and the male from me. He would great me every night at the garage, run immediately out of the forrest when I called him and, very unusual, wanted to walk around the house with me every night like a dog. Both had a great cat life until they passed away.
That is a great story. What were their names, how long did each one live??
This is a great relaxing video. And the kitten licking the food for the first time is adorable. Fiesty... lick lick lick.
I can't help but melt and "aww" at little spicy kittens! 😻They're trying so hard to look threatening but their poofed up bodies and lil angry faces are just too adorable. Even cuter when you see them go from spicy to sweet
It's funny to see the super-conflicted emotions of a feral kitten.
Danger! Human hand!
But the food is so good! Petting by human hands feels good!
There's this cute anime you might like, called My roommate is a cat.
She ate the food without taking her eyes off him!
stockingbutton (if you're suggesting that that's a good thing, it's a bad thing, wide eyed stares are bad)
Not suggesting its a good thing. She doesn't take her eyes off him because she doesn't trust the human.@@whoopsydaizy
Believe it or not, I'm working towards my masters in clinical psychology and these videos are deeply informative. The attitude the narrator has towards the kittens is incredibly supportive, understanding, and patient. We should all hope to be this to the ones in our lives we are entrusted to care for.
Well, I'll agree to that too!! Very well said.
Good luck.
I'm studying for clinical psychology too! But I'm working towards my doctorate
Adrijana Radosevic yikes I hope I never reach your level of pessimism
Are they any rescue group in Bushwick
0:47 Love that description of trying to grab older cats “they will win.” 😂 Ayup. Solid balls of muscle cats are, which spend that muscle trying to get enough food to become a solid blob of fat.
I adore little Franny from start to finish. I like my cats with a little spice left.
"I will tear you apart, you horrible monster!" "oh you brought food, well that changes things entirely"
"I'm still angry but this tastes like chicken so me likes"
**wild hissing**
**notice food**
**start licking**
Me when I'm mad and my friends try to calm me with food 😂

Thank you for sharing. I adopted 2 feral kittens, brothers. I didn't know they were feral or even what that meant when I found out. They were born under a shed, trapped at approximately 6 weeks old. Lived with a foster Mom for 2 months, came to me at 4 months.
One is doing well now at 8 months. Very affectionate, loving. The other won't let me touch him. I've fed him by hand for 4 months. I'm not giving up however some days I'm frustrated. I watch your video. It gives me hope. Thank you!
