  • I'd been giving food to this stray mother cat for a while and she was always coming alone. But then one day, she brought her only kitten to me! It was clear that she wanted me to look after her kitten; because a while later, she went away..

    About Our Channel:
    This channel is about the daily lives and adventures of my 3 indoor cats Santi, Indy & Chewie and our 14 outdoor cats and my dog Walter.
    Our outdoor cats are living in our garden and their names are D'Artagnan, The Rolling Cat (Princess), The Purring Cat, D'Artagnan's Girlfriend, Porthos, Zoom, Junior, The Mom Cat, The Big Head, Ruzgar, Nope, Pamuk, Pamuk Jr. and Vasak.
    If you are a new visitor to our channel, I suggest that you watch the two playlists called "All The Videos of Our Outdoor Cats (In Order)" and "All The Videos of My Indoor Cats (In Order)" first.
    Apart from the videos of our cats, from time to time I also upload videos of other animals I come across. So it's all about animals here! Enjoy!

    We had the same thing happen: momma brought her 4 kittens. She spent every night with them on our patio. By the 5th night, she was gone. The kittens returned each night, having been taught this is where they are to remain during the night for safety. Momma showed up a few days later, but now she was very aggressive towards them. Heartbreaking. She was pregnant again and somehow knew she was going to turn on her own kittens, so made sure they knew where to be at night in order to remain safe and fed. Those kittens are now a permanent part of our crew of cats and we even caught and got momma fixed. She suffers seizures, so she’s on medicine and no longer goes outside. We built a 500 sq ft cat kennel-your videos here gave me the idea-so no all her litters (she had 3 before we finally caught her) live here. We have 12 cats. All are fixed, have their shots, etc. See what you’ve done? Lol!

      I use to live in Virginia before I moved down to Florida. We had a orange tabby kitten show up at out door alone and so she joined the crew of strays that ate on our back deck everyday. Then a few years ago she got pregnant and had a single kitten of her own, under our front porch. She raised that kitten to know where to go to get fed and water and make friends with the other strays on our back deck. But it was fun watching Lucky the mommy cat raise Baby her kitten. She moved on to find her next baby's daddy before we could get her fixed. She was semi feral.

    She looks like my boy kitty I named Tigger. I found him in our apartment courtyard and he was about the same age. He was meowing so loud it sounded like screaming all night, I tried to catch him but couldn't. It was two weeks of putting out food, playing with a stick and petting him as he would run past us before he let his guard down. I brought him inside one night then the next day let him out brought him back in that night and the next day he didn't want back out. The neighbors said they thought it was his mother that had been run over by a car. Hence the screaming that first night. I've had him now for 10 years. My love bunny.

      Proof that most animals are good at being able to sense if people are trustworthy or not. Had two dogs like that, both were usually friendly to most people (sometimes cautious at first, but would warm up to most strangers quickly), and only became aggressive towards those who we learned later were either not so nice, or who had severe mental/emotional problems. Our pitbull mix we had really hated anyone who smelled of drugs or alcohol.

It makes me believe again in the strength of kindness and education, in taking on one small thing and making it something much larger in its connection to us all. This channel has made us all invisibly connected, and sometimes I can sense that fine mesh. Just feeling that can help me to find the light in the darkest of days.

      @b.a.erlebacher1139 2 роки тому +33

      She and her relatives are basic mixed Turkish cats. I really doubt that any of them have a purebred anything in their ancestry. Cat breeds were developed quite recently by selecting from generic cats to fix various traits by inbreeding. Long hair is a trait common in cold areas. There's a longhaired population of cats in the Lake Van area of Turkey from which the Angora and Turkish Van breeds were developed. So Vasak may have an ancestor from that region. Or from the longhaired cats of northern Iran from which the Persian breed was developed. Or from some ship's cat from northern Europe that docked at a Turkish port.
      Breeders eventually ruin a breed by selecting for more extreme traits. Maine coons were originally New England barn cats. They were large and long furred to cope with the cold climate. Breeders selected for these traits until now they are so big that they get hip dysplasia like big dogs, and can't look after their fur on their own unlike their recent ancestors. Persians have been bred for such flat and even indented faces that their tear ducts are crushed and they have breathing problems. Their fur needs constant attention. The original Persians had somewhat short but normal snouts, they were large framed cats, and they could maintain their own fur without help.
      I could go on. Some of the more recent breeds are based on a recent mutation. Scottish fold is the same mutation that results in Ehler-Danlos syndrome in humans, a painful and disabling condition. Munchkin is the same mutation as achondroplastic dwarfism in humans. Someone in the US is trying to establish a breed called 'twisty cats'. These poor animals have a mutation that causes the front legs to be so deformed that they can only walk on their back legs. So cute, this person believes, but so cruel.
      Anyhow, I could keep ranting. All my cats are and have been local, random bred. Even the longhaired one can maintain his lush coat himself without matting or hairball problems. They are reasonably intelligent and have their natural cat instincts intact. We got them as adults needing homes, and they are a pleasure to live with.
      End of rant!

      @@b.a.erlebacher1139 Wow! That was great. You can 'rant' all you wish with me when it comes to cats. All six of mine are my favorite 'breed', Rescue. Before she knew about breeders, my Mom bought 2 Siamese cats that were 'rejects' for pedigree and show cats. Bien (pronounced Ben) and Phu (foo) Cat, both named for Vietnamese towns, (Dad was incountry at the time) which Mom knew from Dad's letters. Bien died in '76 due to leukemia, and Phu lived to be 19. We always had a kitty in the house, but never again from a breeder. My Toby-san (everyone's friend) is now 17, and came to me from a riverbank. My others are younger, but all came from bad situations or the street.
      I wish people would leave breeding to the cats...Munchkins and so on are adorable, but the a--- that did it gave them physical issues that cause pin and shortens their lifespan. Anything like that, the folds, the twisted cats you mention ....gods, what is WRONG with people? ... all are just doomed to painful and shorter lives.

    My partner was caring for a couple of stray cats at her house. A night before a big storm, they brought their kittens (two females, two litters) to her house. One of them was in such bad condition, she thought he might die. But thankfully all 7 kittens survived and found homes, some with us, some with family and friends. The two mommas are now indoor kitties, spayed and happy. It's such an amazing thing when a feral cat recognizes you as a safe place and chooses you, especially for her kittens. I think the other cats we have rescued must have sent out letters to their friends or something! Maybe yours have done the same!

      I think a large part of the reason for that is that they are very well cared for. They know there will always be ample room and food for everyone, so there is no need to be overly defensive or territorial. Surely there will be minor skirmishes from time to time, but there is no way to avoid that, having a dozen cats or dogs. They fight a bit, and then they calm down and eat dinner together.
