- Do cats love us as much as we love them? Or do they view us merely as a provider of resources? Shorty, Kodi and their guardian give their perspective in this study/BBC mockumentary. (Note this is not necessarily a response video directed at the BBC's showing of preliminary research results but this is a general response to any who question the affection cats show to their humans.) Music is Perspectives by Kevin MacLeod, www.incompetech.com.
the poor thing misses his owner and grabs his toy for comfort. showing how much he misses his owner.
Shelly Blanchard looking good sir!
Kingzgamer lol :)
awww
Shelly Blanchard it made me sad
yes me to
im away from home 8 hours per day. thinking my cat might be calling for me breaks my heart :(
We humans live several times longer than cats do. Just imagine how long 8 hours would feel like to a cat? For them, you'd been away for a day or two each time..
WOW i didnt think about that
Your cat probably does :(
M. Evripidou
Please don't let your cat every day alone at home. If you can't let her out get her at least a companion!
I know my cat calls for me. The neighbors tell me they can hear him for several hours after I leave the house.
it broke my heart seeing that cat meow for such a long time searching for his human. being a cat person even someone else's sad cat makes me incredibly sad.
fahad nazir that's so cute of you to say. I simply do not understand non-cat people!
I actually almost cried because I'd hate to see my own cat like that
I swear my cat acts like that when my husband is away on business. We all know that cat loves him and only tolerates us. Lol. It is so sad because I try everything to comfort him but he just wants his daddy. Sweet to know how much he loves my husband.
fahad nazir same
Heather Bullard reading your comment made me giggle a little to myself because I call myself my cats mommy and Sparta is my baby
I was not a cat person when, almost a year ago, I adopted a kitten that had been abandoned. As a result, I have possibly been more attentive to her behaviour, because I did not know what to expect. When she came to me I thought that she would not survive the week because she was in such a poor state. However, after months of bites and scratches, one of which took me off to A&E, she is now my delightful companion.
Friends tell me that she follows my every move, ignoring them, and if I move out of her sight, then she moves until she can see me. Recently, I have been unwell, and on a few occasions went to bed during the day. She followed me as usual, but then did things she had not done before. She jumped on the bed, but instead of curling up, as she normally does, at the end of the bed, she gave me a thorough examination, sniffing all over my body, gently touching me with her paws, usually where I was most in pain, and then licking my hands and face. Having determined that I was unwell, she curled up as close as possible to me, even lying in my arms, which she still is nervous about. Like the cat in the video, she had food, water and her litter trays, so she was not trying to manipulate me. She was showing genuine concern. One time I even woke to find that she had crawled under the blanket to get closer to me, yet normally she will run away if I try to cover her. I think all that this shows that her desire to look after me was stronger than her dislike of being covered, and being cuddled.
I must admit I never expected a cat to be so obviously attached to me.
Philip Meers HOLY MOLY YOUR CAT LOOKS IDENTICAL TO MY CAT
This made me cry a little bit. Thanks for sharing this adorable and lovely story! Cats are amazing
Cats are very attached to their owners ..!! There are jus too many myths about them..!!
@@user3555 Honestly, that was what I was thinking too! My very first cat (a kitten from the streets) had the same markings just as the cat in his profile. My cat lived for nearly 16 years.
@@dr.ramasharma-phdsanskritv4292 Especially for black cats...they get treated so unfairly just because of some stupid movies and theories that black cats “bring bAd lUcKkkK”
I once had a white Turkish Angora (Jean-Pierre) who had never really showed me one bit of affection. Oh, he'd sit in my lap for the occasional ear-rub and come to get his food, when called. Yet, one night, when my ex-husband got violent with me (the first and last time) and I had to call the authorities on him, I was sobbing inconsolably on the sofa afterward, and do you know, that cat shimmied itself up under my chin and stayed there FOR HOURS with me? I will never forget that! My mother and sister were astonished, at the way he remained "glued to" me for the next few days following that incident.
Betsy Collins wow
Yup cats can feel that, when my wife is sad or just emotional sometimes our cat scoots up to her almost instantly. Or when she isn't feeling well you can already see the little ball of fur with her in bed - purring all the time. Cats are wonderfull creatures and can be just as loyal as dogs.
Bless your heart! And your cat's.
Kudos for getting away.
***** ...because he is a narcissist and a sociopath. His violent streak erupted when he realized that he could no longer "get my goat" (you know, make me mad, sad, etc.). That's the narcissist's greatest fear is being rendered powerless. Then, they must find other relationships to be what is called, a "supply." That was so many years ago and I am much happier now to be free of the cancer that he was!
***** You know what, FIRST I did not even have to answer your question. Second, it is incredibly troll-like and deliciously low of you to make such assumptions-invalid ones at that. You have no class, no manners, and no finesse at social skills. I will be blocking you this evening. I just wanted to be sure you received this message, though I am sure you have heard it SCORES of times before from the masses of people you insult not only with your words (but with your odious presence as well), you are just too stupid to give any credence to the fact that it might contain some truthful insight into what is wrong with you, when you are seen through the eyes of another person.
My granny died. Her part Siamese cat Baby Girl was happily adopted by me. When, after several years, Baby Girl saw granny's old couch again, she went down my hall meooowing just like this, calling for granny. I cried & cried & hugged Baby Girl. We both missed Granny.
T^T im happy you two have each other.
I'm glad you kept her. I see quite often when someone passes away no one in the family wants to keep the pet/or some reason can't. (they are family members too)
So thank you ❤
c'est trop triste ton histoire :'(
oh that so sad😢😢😢😢
shar san so sad😭
I don't get how people have ever even considered this lol. My family had a cat named Scoot for 17 years, my dad rescued him from a garbage dumpster getting attacked by red ants when he was just a little kitten, only a few days old. That cat loved my father until the day he died. Every day he would wait outside on the front porch right around the time my dad would come home from work and would immediately jump into his arms and meow like a little baby. It wasn't because he was hungry because we always fed him lunch right before my dad would come home. He was just that attached to my father. He would also go hunt and leave presents on our doorstep all the time lol, but mostly he would leave it by my dad's car right in front of the driver's door. I'll never forget the night he got hit by a car and died... it didn't kill him but he was suffering terribly. We brought him to the vet to be put to sleep to put him out of his misery. My dad hysterically cried and all Scoot kept doing was licking my dad's face and his hands and purred slightly until he slowly went to sleep. We've had plenty of dogs but that cat changed all of our lives and I've never had any animal as fantastic as that cat. My dad still misses Scoot and we still have his collar and my dad still believes that Scoot was comforting him when he kept licking him as he died. Cats are amazing creatures and I'm tired of them being misunderstood
grvtii this made me tear up. such a beautiful and sad story
grvtii This was such a beautiful story. Brought tears to my eyes. God bless your beautiful cat
A very moving story. I totally understand.
What the fuck who put these onions next to me
grvtii Hey!! That would make a wonderful book!! Just add in more stories about Scoot and your Dad and I would bet it would be published. I would buy it!! Look at all the movies they make based on dog stories....
The cat literally walked around crying with a squeaky toy in his mouth and I can’t handle how sad that is!
A few years ago, there was a stray kitty that was born outside my house. Her mom was a real meanie, always hissing and swatting away her own kids. The little kitty was not friendly and would run away as soon as she saw someone come near. Well, one day I was crying outside on the stairs when this lil kitten came. She stared at me crying, and all of a sudden she came up to me and started meowing. She actually let me pet her, and she curled right up to me! I have never seen anyone else touch her, but I think in that moment she knew I was hurting and needed some comfort. Since that moment I was truly convinced animals really can understand us.
Everytime i was rly sad and felt alone my cat came to me too and comforted me by purring and sitting at my lap. Maybe we sound like little baby kitten when we cry? :D
Thats awesome! I had a cat like that once as a kid, anytime id start crying she would literally run up to me and try to comfort me.
I just teared up a bit omg
The suffering of others is what amused them
Tiff Panini when I was experiencing depression I would come home and lay in bed and cry and my cat would come sit on my chest and nudge my face. She had never done it before and I think I started crying happy tears.
I went away for two weeks and left my cat with a catsitter. When I came home, she was asleep. I came and tapped her, and she stared at me a while, like she couldn't process that I was back, then meowed as loud as she could and got up and jumped at me. I held her so long and cried lol
Several years ago I needed to go out of town for weeks at a time, and then I would come home for a month or two, and then leave for a couple more weeks. My son and my mom would care for my cat, but every time I got back home she'd run out to the car and meow and meow until I spent time with her, like she missed me. She also would follow me whenever I would check the mail or take the trash out
that is true love
My cat is very audible when I come home from vacation lol
I will jump up on my bed and she will hop up on my chest and rub her face all over me while meowing lol
I relate completely.
Most fun thing is if they try to give you the cold stare and totally ignore you because they feel like they need to be offended for at least a while, but fail to follow through and finally come running to cuddle after a few minutes of silent treatment, purring like a motor boat...^^
When my dad was a kid, his family had a cat. Eventually my dad joined the Marines, and he wasn't able to visit home until a couple years later. When he got home, he sat in the living room chatting with his mom. Their cat just relaxed on the floor, bathing and acting as though nothing special was going on, as though my dad was some stranger visiting the family. About 20-30 minutes into the visit, out of nowhere, the cat sits straight up and stares intently at my dad. He sat there staring for a good minute or two as if realizing "wait a minute.... I know this guy!" He suddenly came rushing over and began purring and rubbing on my dad and wouldn't leave his side for quite some time. He saw my dad not as some means to survival, but as a member of his family. It took him a minute to recognize my father after so long, but as soon as he did he was filled with love and affection for him. Animals are wonderful.
What a lovely comment to read, thank you for sharing this as you painted the story brilliantly... brought a tear to my eye and warmth to my heart.
We bought a cat for the kids when they were around 3 and 4. When my daughter would trip and fall and start crying our female tortie would run to her and put her paw on her back to console her like a mother. I was always a dog person until I witnessed this a few times... Cats are awesome beings..
Sleipnirseight That’s an incredible cat story
How old is the cat? Lmao. Or how old was your dad, if you say "kid" ?
Beautiful comment. I was actually thinking about getting a career in the army but I don't know if I could bare to leave my cat :( he's my best friend
Excuse me how am I supposed to leave my cat at home and go out ever again now
Melissa B I know....mine waits for me in the window n cries just while im getting the mail or something frm the car!❤
You can't. You're a stay at home human now.
Omg ikr? My cat was stray n homeless. He stayed around where I work, one day I decided id adopt him. He is so sweet and loving. Even when I just go to the garage for a cigarette he goes to the door meowing for me. Hate to imagine him at home pleading for affection without me around.
Get them a companion so they aren’t completely alone. My cat has our dog. I think they take care of each other while we’re gone.
Exactly
My cat doesn't even like it when I'm in the bathroom too long.
My cat scratches my bathroom door when I am in
Mine used to to that when she was just a kitten. Now she just sleeps all day :-)
gurlzrool hahahah mine too! she gets mad at me because that's the exact moment and wants to come in a sleep in the sink! goofy furrball :)
He jumps up the bathroom door when I'm in there too long... it's too cute...
Infamous Onion Cutting Ninja! Aww that's too cute
I had a cat that used to sleep with me, and once she had given birth to 4 kittens , she brought them to me at night to bed , so I got scared to smash them by accident and went to sleep downstairs in the living room, after 10 mins she comes to sleep with me, then goes upstairs and bring her kittens one by one .... can we call that trust ?
+Nassim B. That's really cute. My cat will never stay still to sleep with me. He's always have to do something like opening doors to everything, looking out the window from every room waking everyone up. I started to put him in his cage since then. He was good boy who would sleep quietly on my bed with me when he was young. I wonder what happened. I don't think I have bad sleeping habits. at least that's what I think.
Love it
How did ur cat bring her kittens? In her mouth lol
+Iqra Islam yes
+Nassim B. Cute!!
My heart and my soul are completely shattered by how unbelievably sad that cat got when his owner left.
Cats have a memory spanning sixteen hours and can perform on the same mental level as dogs. The difference is the cat can choose not to perform an identical task where a dog does it compulsively to please the owner.
Cats have a sense of self awareness. They know when their owners are gone and that they have to wait for attention...and they don't like it.
I lived with our cat, Samantha, for the second half of my teen years and she would use action cues to ask to lay down with me. If I told her "no", she would sit near me on a blanket. If I told her "yes" or "okay", she would climb onto my chest and we would nap together.
She learned how to do this with me by only reacting to my voice. Samantha understood the tonal differences between "yes" and "no". Cats are quite intelligent.
are you sure only 16 hours, because when i was 13 years old all 7 of us went to hawaii for my brothers wedding, and when we returned, he remembered i was his favorite, and approached me first, like i never left.
cats having a memory span of only 16 hours is as ridiculous wrong as saying goldfish only have a memory span of 3 seconds.
@@joi1794 it's just describing the short term memory. A better statement is that they can internalize anything that can be done or learned in that span. Human short term memory can last weeks.
Cats and dogs can actually understand some words. As in, genuinely knowing what we're saying and what it means.
Only 16 hours? I moved out of my mom's house but could not bring my cats with me ): I visited my mom 2 years later and they more than remembered me. my cat truffles was not a people cat well Except for me and he would not leave my side the whole time I was there.
My kitty and I have a very loving connection. People have told me that they've never seen a bond like ours. When I go out she cries a lot and does one very odd thing that her vet is astounded by. If I'm gone a few hours she will find her toys and then she lines them up in a perfectly straight line. My vet said she does that when she experiences separation anxiety. No matter where in my house I am she's there. When we go to sleep at night she and I lie on the same pillow face to face and she scoots in as close as she can get and then puts her arm around my neck. She wakes me by tapping on my body. She has awakened me from 3 low sugar events when I was asleep. She's older now but when she wanted to be snuggled she would stand on her two back feet and extend her paws in the air squeezing her toes together like a toddler does to ask to be picked up. She is the most loving creature I've ever met. She's my best friend :)
Its amazing you two have bonded so well.Did you get her as a kitten?
IUnknown ShadowI You do not, but some do. Have a great day :)
@IUnknown ShadowI And I don't care about your heartless, pointless and mean comment.
The word would be a better place without it

I own a 14 year old cat who lived his whole life until he was 13 with my grandfather. he was a pure housecat and was held alone (I know your not supposed to do that but my grandfather didn't know better) so when he died last summer the cat was with his dead body for 2 days until they discovered him. because he was supported to go to animal shelter I took him in because I didn't want him to be locked in a cage for the rest of his life. although he already knew me from visits to my grandfather the first few weeks he was only sitting behind my washing machine. he didn't eat, rarely drank and just sat there. the vet said that it was possible that he was actually depressed and sad of the loss of his former owner. and I can 100% agree to that before I never thought that a cat can feel loss of a loved person but now I know better. it took month for him to eat normally again and get used to me. I still have the brush my grandfather used to brush his fur and I rarely touched it but when I want to brush him with that he smells it and then curls up under my bed or behind the TV its like he has PTSD and gets memory from my grandfather.
sorry for English I'm Russian
2SilverEyes I am sorry about your grandfather and glad that you took his cat in. That was very sweet of you. Happy to know the kitty is being well taken care of.
2SilverEyes you are a very good person
What is with Russians and always loving cats? It seems like if I see someone who's Russian online, they're somehow _always_ cat people. You watch videos about cats being really cute, and a good half of them are Russian. Video of people rescuing cats in need? Tons of Russians. A cat video in general? There will be a Russian (and will almost always end with "sorry for my English I'm Russian" even though they have better English than some native speakers).
It reflects well on the country to have so many cat lovers I think.
Because Russia could give a shit about controlling the population in the USA we have TNR Trap Neuter Release & it truly works I'm sorry Russia is a shit hole.
Have you even been to Russia you idiot & to compare Japan one of the biggest killers of sea mammals on the planet you are just plain dumb educate yourself before making assine comments you have no idea dummy.
I don't get why people are in denial of this topic. A well cared cat can become a good companion
Da Dragon Durp People who say cats aren't affectionate hasn't seen mine.
Da Dragon Durp when ever i go to school my cats all ways waits for me in my room
Dean Cutler i love cats. I still really dont know why some people hate them. Now, i used to hate cats, but ill explain everything now. So when i was little i would always hate cats. ( i never ever had had a cat, and my mother was allergect to them) but then when i was 5 i got a cat called henry i loooooveeeeddddd him sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. My neighbours who were allergect to cats caught him and took him to the pound. We had to go get him from the pound. Later my nan and grandad couldnt care for him anymore because of the neighbours allergy and we gave him away to a farm. Originally, when we went to rspca in the first place to get him, we were only there to look. But i saw henry and begged to keep him. Anyways, quite a few years later we got two cats called angel and pearl. They are tortishell cats. We also took in a female ginger stray cat called sandstorm and later gave her a nice home. After we gave sandstorm away, we got two new kittens. Pearl passed away very recently when we found her dead on the side of the road :( rip pearl. Now also, the kittens were angels neices. When they were born, at some point my friends mum who used to own them asked about the kittens at the vet. The vet said because the kittens parents were brother and sister, the vet said ALLL OF THE KITTENS IN THE LITTER WERE GOING TO DIE AFTER TWO WEEKS. But actually, months later im like, "vet..... are you kidding me?" and actually, sasha and mika the kittens are pretty smart. I taught them to shake hands and high five in only two days.
Wow thanks for reading
I don’t understand it either ,but there’re so many things that get hated for no reason.
I've had friends and relatives who don't even like cats say that they would gladly take mine if I became unable to care for him. A properly socialized cat can win over people as quickly as a properly socialized dog.
When owner comes home:
“It’s not like I missed you or anything, b-Baka”
*scratches human*
Oml why would you say that OWO

Uhh I hope you Do you know that’s Baka means fool-

my cats cry when i go into the bathroom and close the door. I'm guessing they think i ll be sucked in by a black hole and never return.
My cat just guards the door as I do my business
I have had three cats that have to be in the bathroom with me. I have two left of those. They think it is a place to be petted without interruption.
That's because you don't let them in! lol.
AnnaLee4Ever my cat insists on sitting on the back of the toilet seat with me... and tries to kinda push n pull at my clothes to get me off the toilet...
They just care because they don't know where you keep the food at.

Cats are VERY misunderstood. Did you know their brain is biologically more similar to human than to a dog's? They are faithful, dog-like, you don't need to bathe them, walk them. A perfect companion!!! They've even saved lives!!!
You need to bathe sphynx cats bc they get oily
They are manipulative like children lol. Mine are sooo manipulative and smart it’s hard to keep up with their shenanigans. Mine also work as a team.😩 They can get through childproof locks, open cabinets, open freezer and refrigerators, can unscrew cabinet handles, and even more strange they unscrewed, and busted through the seal of a big peanut butter jar.🤦🏽♀️
Cat = big brain maths genius
@@wandachristian1884 one of my cats used to knock on the bathroom door when I was in and put his paws under to try to break in lol. My other cat who just passed 😥 he was so sweet and weird and he used to open cabinet doors where he knew I kept the cat food. Then make me chase him around the house knowing I couldn't catch him, he would wait at the steps haha. I love cats and hope I can adopt a couple in the near future.
Miss you Alex & Chad 🐈💕
Seeing how sad these cats seem when their owners leave makes me not want to leave my house and leave my cats alone.
I know right? it's so sad
My friends come over to my house so often that my cats are almost never alone. Even when I’m 2 hours away, my friends go to my house to hang out. My cats love all of us. My cats are always excited to see either me or my friends.
Nearly made me cry feel so bad for my two little baby’s...
Of course they love their owners - if they're treated lovingly
True.
Cats are like humans, they will love you if you love them too. treat them like a family and they'll treat you like a family too.
Yep. My cat used to be a absolute biter (just to be clear he still has his claws) until I start giving him pets and scratches. Now he always bothers me whenever I'm on the sofa lol. He rarely meows but whenever he wants attention he would lay on the ground in front of me.
my cat murphy is my best friend, six years togather now, knows my every move, visits my neighbours every day, gets what he wants most of the time in is own cute cat way, comes into my bedroom every morning and just goes right up to me and puts paw on my head and in a nice way gets me up lol, i must say murphy brings a smile to my face most days, as i live on my own he keeps me sane to be honest, he might be just a wee cat, but he is so much more to me, a friend at all times.
That's so sweet
Yes! :) so true, love this.
Chris you are a true man. My cats are not only my friends but my family too. I love them with all my heart and I certainly know they love me too.
Cathie, yes such true friends, my cat sends big hello to your cats.
Chris I to live on my own an my Ally Cat is my world we have been together for 9yrs and she sleeps with me & love's me through the hard time's. I recently broke up with my Boyfriend and when I cry she sits on my lap and uses her head to wipe away my tears as I cuddle her. she is my World and I would be lost without her.
Answer, very attached. They remember you. I went away for a year and came back to my cat she was hiding up in the rafters and gave a pathetic meow as if she couldnt believe i was back. Came down and was all kinds of lovey dovey rubbing. 😻
That’s awesome!
"WHERE AAAAAARE YOUUU"
"WHEEEEERE"
"PLEEASE COME BACK"
"Oh there u are" *purr purr*
Oh pleeease... The animal is alone, and trapped - it cant explore, hunt or socialize with other cats. This 30 minutes mew is nothing but animal form of psychical depression.
Graf Mon Now feed me.
Nothing cuter than the sound of a cat meowing :)
My Mel(by) does this to me, he just gave me kisses but wants my full attention XDDD
Lyubomir Ikonomov - Now now, stop pretending you know what you're talking about. Apart from a few exception the kind of cats we keep as pets tend to be solitary animals in the wild. It isn't meowing because it is trapped, it is meowing because it can't find it's owner. I've seen cats that can freely go outside do the *exact* same thing. Stop trying to defend something that doesn't exist.
Whenever I would got over to a friend's house to spend the night or just leave my house for a few days, my mom would text me about my cat and tell me "Michi misses you, she's sleeping in your bed." Or "She's looking around the house again to see if you're hiding anywhere." And whenever I came home from anywhere, Michi was always waiting at the door for me meowing. As soon as I walked in she would run over to me and ask for a hug my standing on her hind legs a reaching her paws out. She's only ever been like that with me though, which I love about her. Cats develop a strong bond to their humans just as much as dogs do, and I'm glad I get to have a little monster that loves me just as much as I love her :)
Allie Zavala Yeah same with me. Whenever I'd leave for college my mom would tell me my cat would be looking for me the days after I'd leave.
Michi called me last week and told me that you suck.
Allison J I’m severely allergic to cats. I get hives but my dog is the same way but with everyone. I would love a cat but it’s really bad when i touch them. It’s sad :(
Allison J same with me and my grumpy kitty. He runs out the door before I can close it so I don’t leave and we have to shut it soo fast lol
Bitch, you all sideways
I have severe depression, and I cry a lot. My cat, Teady, always always always comes to me when I cry and tries to comfort me. It works almost every time.
+MilkScrew well
that s nice..
Hope you feel well sometimes at least
Well, apparently your nice cat helps you quite a bit with your sadness
well done, teady -
Im here if need someone to talk to! Depression can be tough, but hey atleast you have your loving cat :D
+Smashbrick Depression and ptsd is easier when you have a pet. Lost my Jasper about ten years ago and still miss him. He was a half Sealpoint siamese
Yeah it really does make a difference. Teady, sadly, has blood cancer (not the acute kind though, so he will probably live several more years). He's a mutt, and the mellowest cat I've ever seen in my life!
+MilkScrew- I am so glad your cat helps to comfort you. My 17 1/2-year-old Mystery could sense if anything was amiss as soon as I opened the front door. Amazing how it is almost like they read your mind. I hope you find a truly good doctor that can help you. I did. Sometimes I think the cat helped more.
I share a flat, my flatmat has no idea how to treat a cat but he is the cats provider. The cat ignores him all day apart from feeding time. I am really good with animals, cats especially, and the cat constantly plays (even bringing toys), fusses, misses and loves me.
Most animals respond in kind to the right treatment.
I love cats
My cat hates me
I agree. I think that most cats, when shown care, attention, & affection (on their terms, sometimes they need alone time) will reciprocate.
^ why do some men do that
@Pink Guy incel
I saw a ridiculous scientific experiment on tv that supposedly proved cats weren't attached to their owners like dogs. In the experiment, they took a dog into an unfamiliar room with the owner and let it loose. The dog basically stuck by the owner. They then did the same with a cat and the cat ignored the owner and prowled around the perimeter of the room examining everything and essentially looking for somewhere to hide. If these great scientific experts had bothered to learn a bit about cats, they'd know that they are very territorial and are disturbed by being unfamiliar territory, unlike dogs which tend to range in the wild.
I agree with u !totally incredibly ridiculous !and very funny how ppl say things about the cats who don't have any experience with them!my cats are so attached to me !
+Snowleopard755 And cats are really moody, so they just may not have felt like having attention during those experiments! I know I don't choose when to cuddle with my cats, they choose!
I read an experiments done somewhere where they put the cat in a room with the owner versus with stranger. They found that the cats are more alert when investigating the room with strangers but they are more relaxed when they are with their owner.
I'm sitting here on my bed with 3 cats and they hear the cries and look up like WTF is that??
RandomSuzy same XD except its one kitten
RandomSuzy My cat just attacks my phone case and bites it whenever he sees it
My two cats did the exact same thing, and they don't normally react to sounds coming from my phone
Hahaha! I own 3 black cats and their names are red cat, blue cat and Greenie. I need more so I can have name them all the colours of the rainbow
whatever3210 crazy cat lady is just a sexist term. If a guy her age had forty cats people prob wouldn't blink an eye
My baby is 26 years old. He was rescued off death row from the pound by my mom. I've had him for 18 years. I am constantly told that how whenever I leave to the house for work, to get groceries or what have you, how he cries and waits by the door for me to come home like a dog. He sleeps in bed with me but has his own side with his own blanket on the bed so I don't roll over onto him by accident. And because he is so old, I have to pick him up and put him on the bed. Sometimes he'll leave to go eat, potty or whatever. But the other night, I was having a nightmare. I awoke with my kitty LEAPING onto the bed and meowing like crazy and I simply said "Did you have a bad dream too, love?" He curled up next to my belly like he understood everything I said and needed his mama. I love him so much!
brijo89 that's freaking beautiful 😭
the devil gives you the nightmare, your cat can see it.
brijo89 you're single aren't you?
Cats can smell fear like horses.... I think..
john, something wrong with being single? or is that some really screwed up feeble attempt at trying to start a conversation with another single person? I'm single wouldnt have it any other way, can do what i want when i want how i want, dont have to ask permission, or apologize for anything. I eat what I wannt, dont have to plan on what whoever else dont like, really what was that comment?
SOMEBODY PET THAT CAT RN BEFORE I BREAK INTO YOUR HOUSE TO DO IT FOR YOU
Hear, hear!
Ikr I wanted to bust through the screen and love on him. That mewing was just too much
I will never understand why some people say that cats are heartless or don’t love their owner. I’ve got two cats, a black one and an orange one. The black one would always be by my side and sleeping, and in the night they would wait for me to say „komm heia machen“ (lets go and sleep) and then walk beside me to my bed and cuddle up to me. The orange one would always come to me and comfort me when he sees that I was crying/ feeling bad. He would start cuddling up to me and make me stroke him because he knew that this would distract me. Honestly these two cats where more there for me when I needed them than all my friends and family members combined.
cσѕмιccнαє I can relate. It's almost as if they can sense your emotions. Maybe it has something to do with our hormones and how cats can smell them.
cσѕмιccнαє Got mine as a pregnant stray. Have had her 7 years now! If I "ignore " her when I get home from work she gets very loud until I pick her up! I think 90 seconds is the longest before I broke and picked her up and give her nose a kiss and tell her she is a pretty girl!
Improbable Pebble of course they can. They also can read your body language and tell once it differs from your usual behaviour.
i love cats
Soooo true! This is how my kitty’s are and I loveeee my babies
"Cats are less affectionate". My ass! Mine won't leave me alone. The moment I sit still one of them is in my lap. They even tag team me.
ekimbro08 my a** 😂😂
My cat too 😭
Shut the fuck up, Most cats I've known don't like anyone
D .j haha, very funny. Telling people to shut up because your limited experience with a cat differs from what they are saying. On the contrary, many cats I encounter are quite happy to interact with strangers if they use the right body language. At times it surprises me how trusting cats can be, and I've got three myself having had one of them for over a decade. While some cats can be standoffish than others (my middle cat's affection does depend on her mood and she does sometimes lash out (though she never tries to seriously harm people with her scratches only being slight) and there's an angry looking cat I keep seeing who refuses to be anywhere near strangers but loves to be near his owner) there are cats that are _really_ affectionate such as my youngest cat who will curl up right by me, preferring to be as close to my face as she can, so that she can cuddle with me. Where I live there are lots of cat owners so I end up coming across many cats who will happily allow me to pet them if I coax them towards me a bit
@@GoldrushSavage what an idiot
people who say that cats aren't attached to their owners never owned a cat themselves.
lefr33man yep
Yep, I can safely say that in my opinion cats are way better than dogs. I know this cause I've had both before.
No cats are not better than dogs. They are both just as good as the other. It just depends on what you like.
I love dogs. And always said I like them better. But I just got a cat and haven't had one in years and he's pretty cool too.
Thank you!
This is something I have known since I was 3 years old. "My kitty Loves me."
My childhood cat, Rusty, would lick my tears off my cheeks everytime I cried.
He would find me, no matter where I was in the house,to cuddle and lick my tears away .
Yes people, if you love and cherish your kitty, they will love and cherish you back. 💜😻
my cats also did it to me... 🥺❤️
@@GestaYuria That is so sweet ❤ I miss my Rusty. :(
I would lay in bed or on the floor during depressive episodes, and Motmot (our cat) would come lay down next to my head to cuddle and purr to help me feel better.
I was crying as soon the cat was calling :'(((
Same
I cried at the end when he had returned and scooped up the cat.
Same
*gentle hug*
***** *hugs back too*
Cats are so god damn cute, I have no idea how people can dislike them - it utterly astounds me that there's a wavelength for cat hatred. All animals are amazing, but cats have a special place in my heart. Every day I finish work and look forward to going home and spending time with mine, and today is certainly no exception!
100% agreed, 14 years cat owner here, I love him so much
Marty I've had cats for 31 years now :)
Been around kitties since I was 5, and now I have a big floofy boy that loves to cuddle up to me when I come home. I really don't understand the hatred for cats. Some cats are affectionate, some are not, they are all different. It seems that people love to stereotype
I was raised around dogs all my life, so always thought I disliked cats but I think it's just because I don't understand cat's behavior- and because my dogs have never purposely hurt me when it was tired of me, and dogs are always ready for affection. It's hard, because in my head affection is a certain way that I can see in dogs but not in cats. Or the cats Id been around just aren't friendly, or even completely used to humans. When I moved in with my room mate, her cat was affectionate and loving. But she had some other cats even she recognized as distant and just down right mean. It's the mean ones that spoil things for people.
They are not so cute when they are digging their claws into your flesh or furniture. Some cats really are great and very lovable, but some are just reclusive vicious assholes. That can also true of some dogs, (and people) but on average most dogs are far more social and friendly to strangers compared to cats. So if you have never owned a cat, or developed a relationship with one, all you would know is that they can be very aloof and tend to tear up stuff with their claws. Whereas nearly everyone has experienced unrestrained affection from a dog.
So it is not so hard to understand why dogs are more popular in general.
when my cat was about to give birth to her kittens she was calling out to me and wanted me to stay near her.
Ikscdm Degi same my cat did the same
Mine's even bring her kittens to my bed. 😅
Rolex Was here mine did the same, when she had hers we were in bed in mid afternoon because when we feel overwhelmed wejust turn off e erything and lay in silence to relax our cat came to us extremely vocal and laid in bed.. We figured she was about to be in labor not even 5 minutes afterturning the light on and placing some extra covers underher she gave birth! And how dare i get up from next to her during contractions shed start talking to us like telling us to stay :3.. And one point my niece tried to sit next to her but since shes not a regular in our cats life she grabbed her baby ran around the room to hide but ended up jumping back in bed and tossing her baby on my lap.. I told my niecd to leave instead till she was done.
Ikscdm Degi my cat gave birth behind me near my bed when i was playing videogames. I was shocked
This reminds me of my high school cat. I loved her to death. She slept with me and licked my face in the morning. She had her kitten (single kitten) in my hair around 2:00am. It was disgusting, but later on I thought how sweet it was (but still disgusting, try washing that slimy crap out of your hair at 2 in the morning!).
When I realized my mom was not coming out of hospital I cried histerically on the floor...my cat came rushing to my face ...rubbing her face against mine as I was crying nonstop...I could feel she was genuinely concerned for me....
Mine follows me from room to room when I get up. It's a terrific feeling. I just love my cat - he really is my best buddy.
+Dennis Hartnett mine too.. even the loo :")
+Mingina Mathea ESPECIALLY to the loo. My cats get super mad when I close the bathroom door while they're outside
Jay Cee omg! Mine too!! And when I'm in the shower, I cant close the door coz she will get mad, but she can't Come in coz the floor is wet. So she just peeps and waits at the door till I'm done 😂😂
+Dennis Hartnett Is your cat your profile? :)
Mine too!!! He cries for me when I'm gone too.
Whenever my cat sees me she immediately runs up into my shoulder and rubbing into me and grooming my hair, she sleeps with me at night too,
my cat sleeps with me 2
Mine just steals my take out sushi and pukes in my shoes.I still adore him,though.
I had two cats that I had funny and just plain 'why' moments. the cat that was stupid like me ,my sister says, and that cat would be on my lap and purring. she was playful and always active. we had tons of funny moments where she would have her mom with her ( the cat that sat on my lap was named baby cat since she looked liked a kitten and her mom is called mama cat from how many kittens she had ) mama cat would not know baby cat because the scent is gone and is growling at her even tho she wants to play. baby cat got to play and mama cat ran but got caught between a dresser and a wall, again, growling and baby cat walked away like her mission was completed.
my first cat kuro since his fur is black he went under my covers while I was laying down and I though he was. going to lay down on me to sleep. so I allowed him too.
he.
ended up peeing on Me and I said 'WHYY?!' and he ran. ))
Same thing my cat does to me, but more. His name is Buddy; a grey and white saddle cat. He has grown up with me all my life, ever since I was a baby. Between that time, him and I were given a special "bond". He is the same age as me; 13. Whenever I go to bed, he sits at my door, waiting for me. There are many people in my family, but all the cats we have only like me, lol. As I am writing down this comment, all the cats are snuggled with me on the sofa, and Buddy is trying to nuzzle and be so cute! 😀😄😊
Mine too.
My cat will go into crying and search mode the moment I leave the room. Which makes me feel bad every time I leave the house.
Apollo Mann Kodi has a cat companion and look how freaked out he still is when his owner leaves.
You're a fucking liar
The meowing broke my heart :'(
1:24 He got his favorite toy so he wont be so lonely......These onions are getting ridiculous! :,(
Ughhhh I know right!
+Madara Uchiha Fucking ninjas cutting onions every where :c
+Madara Uchiha its exactly what my cat does, but it takes the toy to the front door, how long it sits at the front door meowing with the toy i dont know i never videod him, but when i go out that is what he does and when i come home the toys are at the front door. he also knows what time i come home and waits for me..... and it is certain of that because if i come home earlier or later he wont be at the front door he will be asleep unstairs... but if i get home on schedule he will be there to greet me, he then follows me room to room until i get changed and sit down, he wll then sit in that room with me or on my lap.... cats are misunderstood, but scientists lie and say cats dont care, cause they do experiments and kill cats everyday... so they lie to us adn themselves so they dont seem like bad people.
+♥JinX♥ outlive the cat and eat it before it eats you.
+Madara Uchiha After watching this section I will never leave my cats ever again
Cats are attached to their owners. I have a cat who runs downstairs when he hears my husband truck pull up the driveway, waits by the door till he walks in and follows him everywhere.
ppl call my kitty's "he's shadow"" coz they follow me every where i go
"Cats are attached to their owners", but the point was figuring out do they "follow [us] everywhere", "run downstairs", because they want resources? Or is it because they're attached due to social bonding/because they "love" us!
This video shows that it's the latter, cats are mammals after all and most mammals are social animals, and live in groups/tribes/herds/prides.
My cat always waits for me in the morning to fill his bowl before I have breakfast. He also prefers having company around while he eats.
Heidi DiazI've had cats start to cry as i go out the front door,and I could hear them continue to do so after I'd closed the door.My Small is too dignified in some ways to follow right at my heels,but she always comes in search of me.Jumps up on the kitchen table so I can make a nest with my arms for her,and purrs when I rest my head on her back.She lies down on her back on the floor and looks up at me while I talk to her and praise her beauty,and rolls slowly back and forth,looking up at my face until she slowly closes her eyes,just listening to the sound of my voice the whole time.Not to mentioning her desire to join me in the bathroom(what is it with the bathroom and cats??is it because we're a captive audience or something?LOL)
my cat never ever lets me leave his side
he sleeps on his bed next to mine or on me, he's always near me, he follows me everywhere
he's my buddy and when I leave, he cries and cries and cries
ok that's cool your profile picture though 😂
Nice username lololol
Squiddo SquidHead I know this is late, but who are you talking to?
Weebs Are Taking Over The World
OP
Mine too. He follows me around and even follows me from the front, I call it. It's like he knows where I'm headed, and leads the way lol. He knows when it's bedtime too. He'll get a sense that everyone is about to head to bed and will reserve his spot, or crawl up in it shortly after we lie down. He's a big cuddle bug too!
IT'S SUPER SAD.. BUT.. My cat Lil Larry paws at the door to the front bedroom.. He also sits in front of it meowing and crying non-stop.. The reason it's sad is cuz my boy use to crash in that room.. He passed away April 10th.. Lil Larry and him were best buds.. They really loved eachother and he still thinks he's gonna open the door to let him in....
Rip man... 😔🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss ;_;
I’m so sorry for your loss and poor baby 😢 and wow I see today is anniversary of his passing. Hope you are at peace today and cherish your precious memories with him.
appreciate it!! it's a year today
😢
The only people who think that cats are only caring because they use you are dog owners who have never owned a cat. Every time my parents leave for work in the morning my cat calls for me until I open my door so she can sleep in my room on my bed next to me.
Mitchell true
Lol my kittens wake me up in the middle of the night by knocling things off sometimes and they cuddle with me before i sleep.
My dogs also do things like that.
so non-dogowners cant have misconceptions about cats
She used you
this is why I got a second cat cuz I just knew my first one was super sad when Id leave the house
+L Gammy I have 2 Russian Blue siblings, and they live for going outside, even though I suspect they are only sleeping up the yard. They don't particularly need me until feeding time. They give each other great companionship, and it's lovely to see them heading off together.
+KS KS aww thanks!
+L Gammon is that...sarcasm?
+Brandon Ariy lmao no im serious.. I really got a second one to make the first one feel better
L Gammon just thought that the "every time you left felt. ;)" came off as a bit creepish
ughhhh!!!!! hearing a cat crying for their human with their favorite toy moewing for a
about an half hour more or less anyway makes me feel so sad!
OMG I love Abby!
Virginia Osuna same
Virginia Osuna get over it❤️
Salvatore Anzalone tf
It woke my cat up, she said 'the hell was that' lol
Kodi meowing seconds after his owner leaves just breaks my heart into tiny pieces. It's just... Ahhh!
whenever we leave our house, my cat likes to go in my room and lay on my blankets, I guess cuz he can smell me on them.
silver garcia My cat does the same. She sleeps in my bed since I left my father's house.
mine too.. because he loves to pee on my blanket -.-
ZenithZephyroth That's so sweet :'-)
Diana Maria yes.. as sweet as sugar.. :P
ZenithZephyroth Yep!
Seeing something like this makes my heart ache. When I was young (about 4 or 5), my mother got me a cat for my birthday. I picked him out in a room with 20+ cats and 2 dogs, and he was deathly afraid of the dogs. I loved that cat for nearly 17 years, before he passed away in the night. But the entire week before he went, he came to cuddle with me like he had when he was a kitten, like he knew it was coming. I know he loved me. He never left me alone if he could help it. And I miss my friend dearly when I see videos like this.
Baalphegor I teared up reading that.
come on man why you gotta make me cry
Aw I’m so sorry for your loss 😔
Baalphegor Sorry about your loss. My cat went missing and were on day 3 and still can't find him. It don't feel the same without him. I just hope he comes back home😔
This is why you should say goodbye to your cat when you leave and tell him when you will return. Then they know you left and when you will return.
what if my cat doesn't speak English?
Lola Turlututu They have an international translator built in.
I wave to my cat and tell him "bye, i will be back later" every time i leave and he's around. I like to think he understands
Al Capone I say I'll be back and hug them
+Lola Turlututu My guess is that cats understand that you are communicating something to them, which seems to reassure them that you are thinking about them. I am virtually certain that cats understand the tone of people's voices and whether you are talking to them or to someone else.
I did an experiment recently: my cat purrs when I talk to him, so I was curious if he could tell if I was actually talking to him, or just talking. I read a few pages from a book out loud, and my cat didn't purr at all.
I lost my cat Jasper yesterday to cancer
I had him for 15 years and I can assure you he cried my attention and love .
Nothing to do with food, water or the litter tray .
Of course they are attached to their owners that is without question
When he was dying I held him in my arms and told him how much I loved him
My cat has too much pride to vocally announce his need for me. He has a love for me as he will eventually jump on my lap and purr like crazy but it has to be on his terms, the little shit.
All animals and birds have feelings and emotions and should be treated with respect not as objects.
True that 😌 also birds are animals. I'm sad that many people think differently about insects but I guess we have a difficult relationship with the smaller folk
A very sensible comment!
yon what?.. we build robots with more intelligence than bugs
@@locustboy8448 uh.. sure. what exactly is your point in reference to what I initially said tho? I don't get it
yon “I’m sad that many people think differently about insects but I guess we have a difficult relationship with the smaller folk” reading that made me think that you thought insects are capable of emotion and higher levels of thinking.
My cat would walk all the way to the main street at exactly 7:30pm every week day to wait for my mom to get of the bus from work and walk with her back home. She would also walk with me half way to school.
She can get distracted easily and escape!
"without any new stimuli to distract the cat"
*cat immediately gets distracted by camera* lol
We found a little kitten in a terrible snow storm sitting in the middle of our street. We couldn't see her but we could hear her meowing. The snow was almost covering her little head. She was trying to find her mother who must have been looking for food. My son picked her up and brought her in the house. For the first month we feed her from a bottle (vet prescribed milk). Our household had only a dog however Stormy (her name pretty appropriate) was taught by her only adopted mom. She is very affectionate. However, she goes outside with the dog for bathroom breaks. Does tricks for treats. And sleeps with one of the kids every night. She's great and at one time I said I would never own a cat. Boy was I wrong. Absolutely love her....
I feel like I’ve seen something like this before, either way that’s awesome!
Kudos to you.👏
My black cats name is Stormy 😊
my mom bought a cat shortly before I was born and she said the cat would make sure to sit as close to me as possible, and would even sleep at the end of my crib. She said he tried to clean me like I was his own kitten. he was joined at my hip until we moved into a pet free apartment when i was four and had to give the cat to my grandmother. Even then he still snuggled up to me when ever i visted. I provided no resources in fact i actually took the attention off of him as he was spoiled before I came along.
Brie Sparrow my cat used to do that to my baby brother 😀
Every single day, my cat snuggles next to me. She's not going to know what to do with herself when I find a job!
+DreamDancer82
lol
+DreamDancer82 I named my horse Dreamdancer. :)
+DreamDancer82 omg saaaammmeee xD
lol
Why not get the cat to get a job - then she'll be fully occupied during the day and will shower you with affection when she returns.
Cats love their people, especially indoor cats. We are their whole world, were part of their pack and when we're gone they miss us.
True! Mine yells at me if it’s been more than 2 days.
It physically hurts me to hear the call calling and crying...
+Rahul Modgil physical because it makes our blood curdle inside so our body goes all tense.
+Rahul Modgil thanks. it's hard to explain the sensation . it's more than a sad feeling. the meows of the cat have the effect on me of emphasise with his/her feeling of being abandoned. it is a feeling of fear and makes my body feel uncomfortable. it is a certain kind of physical pain. it is so much so I can not watch the video. I just want the cat to feel ok. the cat call has a human tone to it of torchured bewilderment. I who is watching the cat in a video feel helpless to offer any comfort. my heart starts to beat very fast and tears want to form but don't.
benjamin ferrer it’s just a cat
+Sara Allison shut up It's more than that to this person
I don't own the cat where I live but after a while you start to hear what they are sort of communicating and when a cat is crying for things it can become very annoying
NO!!! I don't want to think about my cat crying for a half an hour every time I Ieave.
I JUST WISH I HAD ONE :((((((
Samee, I wished I had one too
its not crying
a Meow is exclusively directed at Humans they don't do it naturally or to each other its meant to emulate a Human baby crying so you will show it attention
Surely it's a cry if it's directed at the caregiver due to emotional distress.
Cats do meow naturally; they do it as kittens to get the attention of their mothers and then stop as they mature and learn to care for themselves.
Wrong. A cats meow is only used in it's OWN infancy, not that imitation of a human baby. If that were true every cat has to have seen and heard and human infant to imitate it. Kittens meow it to get the affection and attention from their mothers. Cats learn by watching us that WE are vocal creatures and to get our attention they too must vocalize. And because we DO react and attent to their vocalizations there for re enforcing the behavior and a positive and rewarding action.
One could attune their meowing at us and them speaking 'baby talk' to us as we oft do to them. As a meow in a kitten's noise. A grown cat with no human contacts would never use this sound beyond infancy to another cat.
I adopted a stray off of the streets a few years ago. She kind of just came out of nowhere meowing. I pet the cat then make my way home unaware that the cat was following me. I woke up the next morning to find the same cat sat on the bin looking in my window meowing when she saw me. I of course fed her and gave her milk thinking nothing of it. I thought maybe if I fed the cat it would leave me alone. But no. She stayed. That didn't stop me feeding her though. She got fed and given milk everyday. I became attatched to the cat. I loved her. I did howver put out posters to see if the cat was missing. Nobody claimed her. I dicided to keep her. But my family doesn't like cats. My nan likes them and my sisters and brothers but not my grandad. He hates them. It had now been a few months since we had the cat and she was more healthy and didn't look skin and bones. She met all of my pets and was friendly to each and every one. Every morning she would be sat on the fence in the backyard meowing at my window to be let in. It was annoying but i couldn't let her in because of my grandad. At first nobody knew about this cat. Not even my nan. But without them knowing I let the cat in a few times, opening the small winow down stairs. The tabby would leap up and jump down on the other side then make her way up stairs care free. By the time I locked the window she was up stairs. I was of course scared for being found out that we had a stray in the house. I go back up stairs, my heart was racing and look into my nans room to see where the cat had gone. She was in her bed! Curled up at the bottem of the bed purring. My nan was luckily asleep at the time and had no clue. I quickly picked up the now woken up cat and rushed to my room then put her on my bed. She soon settled back down and falls asleep beside me. A few hours later I wake her up. It was very early in the morning and nobody must know that the cat was in here. They would kill me! The cat was wide awake and meowing at the door to be let out. I try to shut her up before she woke anyone up and open the door. She runs to the bottem id the stairs I follow closely after. Just as she was about to start meowing I picked her up. I stroked her hoping she would stop meowing. She did stop. But I can't let her out. My grandad was awake. Fuck. How the hell am I supost to get her out now? I run back up stairs with the cat then put her on my bed. I then put a dressing gown on and picked the cat up, hideing her in it. I go downstairs and open the door. He asks what I was doing and I replied "I'm hungry." Then make my way to the kitchen. He couldent see that I was holding a cat underneath the dressing gown because it was so dark. I go into the kitchen and close the door to the living room shut as I held the cat I one arm then put cat on the floor. She wonders around looking at everything. I open the small window which she went through before and put the cat out. I felt bad for locking her out but I didn't know what else to do. I close the window and lock it then get some chrisp and go back upstairs. I heard the cat meowing none stop for hours. I tried ignoreing it. Each time I looked out of my bedroom window the cat would stare at me with big green eyes with her two front paws on the wall looking up at me wanting to be let in again. She was stood on her hind feet, her front paws on the wall to explain clearer. My grandad threw things at the cat since she wouldn't shut up meowing hours on end. He thought it was an annoying random stray cat. I did his a few times until my nan found out. She wasn't mad at all she actually helped me look after the cat as well as my brothers and sisters. Now Everyone knew except my grandad who hates cats. We let the cat stay in our house all night then early in the morning we would feed her and let her out before my grandad found out. It had been a few months since we had the cat now and more of my family came to visit. Every one was sat at the table talking about anything and everything. A bit of the door was open and the cat walked in and jumped up on the chair all while everyone was arguring about food. (I know it's pathetic for a whole family to be arguring over how many sugars and colories are in each food) They didn't even relize the cat was on the chair until she meowed and everyone stopped arguring and looked at the cat which was sat on the chair stareing at everyone. My older brother said "I didn't know you had a cat!" My nan explained the situation to everybody and they were then saying how cute the cat is. I bought her a red collar with a bell on it. By grandad came in early that night and and was sat on the sofa watching t.v. He didn't know the cat was in the house. The cat made her way up stairs. Her tail was held high and the bell on her collar was noticeably loud. She casually walked past my grandad who had no clue that the cat had gone upstairs. The cat stayed again that night and let her out again in the morning. She would follow me everywhere no matter how far she would always be by my side. I once went to the shop and the cat followed me and sat at the doors entrance wating for me then followed me back home. She followed me to my sisters house which is quite far. She was at my older sisters house at a party with me. Just chilling on the sofa purring away without a care in the world. Then she followed me back after the party ended late at night and slept in my house. I once was waiting for the bus to go to town and to no suprise, my tabby cat was by my side, sitting down next to me waiting for the bus. I didn't take her with me even though she followed me on the bus. People smiled ad the cat made her way down towards me. I had to pick her up and bring her out of the bus. I felt horrible but I couldn't take her with me. the noise would scare her. When I was back from town I saw the cat sat at my front door and when she saw me she greeted me with a tail held high meowing and purring. I pet her and she follows me into the house. Fast foward a few months and the cat followed me everywhere now. She would wait for me at the bus stop everyday when I came home from school. I don't know if she stayed at the bus stop all day but when I came back from school I would find her laying on the bus seat which you wait for the bus. Then she would greet me again happily purring rubbing against my legs. After I pet her I walk home with the cat following me. Lets Fast foward now shall we? My grandad had now found out about this cat and was furious. He threatend to get rid of her and he did. I came home one day and saw that my cat wasn't waiting for me at the bus stop. I asked where she was when I went home she the repliey was that was was somewhere far away on a farm. I was heart broken. A few days later i hear meowing in the night. I quickly look out of my bedroom window only to see my cat! I immediately let her in the house and fed her then let her sleep in my house. My grandad found out again and sent her away to somewhere even futher than before. The tabby came back again but this time in the pouring rain. I dryed the cat off and gave her food. She stayed for a couple of days then my grandad found out and sent her away again for the third time. I knew by now that the amazing cat we adopted wouldn't stay away that easily. She returned a few days later meowing at the window to be let in. She looked a bit thin but nothing to worry about. I fed her and let her stay. Every one was amazed about how the cat made her way back home from such far place. She travelled in a car to where her new homes were. It must be scent or something. She got sent away for the forth time. I waited for her return. I hoped I heard her all familiar meow. But weeks turned into moths then into years. She hasn't come back. I miss her dearly and pray she is somewhere safe and loved. It took some time but I've now accepted that she is gone. I still wonder where she is. She was the first and best cat I've ever had pleasure in looking after. I wonder if she will come back but I doubt it. She was as loving and loyal as a dog.
Descusted Cupcake I red through the whole thing. I'm sorry for your loss. I hate people who hate cats for no reason.
I adopted a kitten three months ago and at first my mum was really angry and wouldn't like him at all. Now she feeds him, pets him and let him on her bed lol
Aww man this was saddening.. why does he really hate cats though? Wish he could grow to like them halfway thru all that..
like... wth has your granddad so much authority? Like idk if the other people are ok with it and he is the only one against it... I would fight him lol... I dont want to be offensive but your grandad sounds like a bitter and sad man
Descusted Cupcake I read the whole story, you made me cry
The only species whose emotions are at questions is human
@. hey buddy may be I am wrong
But I really don't want to be grown up because I have been watching the behaviour of grownups, they just don't care about others.
We talk about species we human caused extinction of half of species, 200 everyday. Look around our own human society do you think even we care about our own specie.
We used to be proud about "humanity" where is it and what is it?
So very true!
@. I think you should do what you just said about your own comment. One day you will realize that the majority of humans only care about their money rather then other people and animals.
Anurag Bhuruk if you want random strangers to care for you, you’d have to be in serious (visible) distress. If you’re not, why should they waste their time to care about you? Everybody’s got their own people they know and love, some have more some have less. Why should we care about every single human being? You know how stressful that would be?
And also, in a way we do care about people, since we provide food, develop cures for diseases etc. And yes, you could argue that it’s been made for the money, but the fact remains that it also helps other people.
that's so true....sigh
My cat is used to me going to work and school, and she knows that I'll be back. Whenever I come back home, she is already sitting on my bed, meowing at me and purring. And she always sleeps against my side.
Yuri A i was cutting onions while reading this
ialexmani same, this is so sad and sweet
cats crying kinda effect you hard. you kinda of think of them as not effected by anything till you see a cat cry. it seem like they just shut off. IDK why cats deal with trama worst than humans.
where the fuck are these cut onions coming from
Omg aww
i've been closer to my cat than most humans. i don't feel alone with a cat but humans make me feel alone for the main part.
a friend is a friend. a little bit of food and some attention is not a big price to pay for love. take care gare
I learned something and is that we as humans are selfish creatures tho also social , but animals , oh they are different, if they have a new me with you they'll never forget, can be a dog, cat, bird , horse , even wild animals. They are like children, pure and noble
Gary Chynne I agree completely x
How true. I posted a comment on this video in the comments section and I don't wanna sound rude but I love my cat more than human. It's a fact.
+ Rob Ch.
Ofc coz you don't know how to mingle with people and you would come up with a sorry excuse of the primal nature of human of lies and deceit.The day you leave your mom's home you will know the world works just fine with people and with animal as well until then keep being awkward.
Very true, as I've been hurt so many times by people, especially by women, that I just don't trust people anymore. At least animals love you for who and what you are, aren't judgmental, and will ALWAYS be a true friend to the very end.
I live with my sister. She used to call home from work and leave a message on the machine talking to the cats. They would get really excited and poke at the machine until they heard the message over again.
Sarah Anderson that is fucking adorable
Cats owners are awesome!
I work overnight and my fiancé and I will FaceTime sometimes. My kitty Carl will hear my voice and scream and nudge at the phone.
Cats are not as "independent" as people think they are. They are colony animals. They don't do well left alone. This is why it's always best to have at least 2 cats. I have 3.
Most cats don’t like other cats if they weren’t raised with them but if they were then they are fine. I think it stems from the loss of territory and competition for food but they really do better with another cat or several other cats provided they get along. Many cats will dislike another at first if they weren’t raised with the other cat but will eventually warm up to the other cat. Some cats just really don’t like other cats and never warm up to them.
My cat is not independent. She needs constant companionship and craved cuddles. I tried introducing her to another cat, but she just started hissing at the other cat all the time.
@@AnaTorres-re6bf how long did you give her with the other cat? Did you introduce them slowly through closed doors at first so they could hear each other and then through a barrier where they can see and hear each other but not physically interact? Did you try placing them in an area with things that the other cat had used like linens? When my cats didn’t recognize each other after I bathed them, which can often happen with cats, I rubbed them with a cloth that the other cat used, placed them in an area with a cat bed that the other used, etc to let them get accustomed to the other cats scent. I separated them by putting one in a large dog crate while the other roamed and they took turns roaming. That way they could see each other but remain physically separated. It took a few days but they eventually accepted one another.
They are independent in the sense that they don't need constant care. For example, they don't need to be let out to use the bathroom and they groom themselves.
I totally don't believe that cats can't feel love for their owners. My cat sleeps under the covers with me in my bed every night, follows me everywhere, chirps if I pet her etc. I can see it in her eyes that she is feeling what I feel for her, which is so so much love
Cats are able to bond with people just like most living creatures that have bonded with humans. Each animal shows affection and we gotta stop comparing attachments expressed by dogs.
There are numerous examples of attachment being demonstrated. There's the cat that freaks out and tries to save its owner from "drowning" in the shower. One kitten keeps pulling up the owner's arm when he dangles it out of a high window. There's the one that attacks a pit bull that itself attacked the child of a family. It's not a dumb question, but I think it has been answered.
you'll get a big kick out of the youtube video lady in the shower and the two siamese going half crazy. especially understand siamese REALLY don't like water.
@Garrett A if a cat is a loner then there is something wrong with the environment and other living beings around it. Hanging out in a corner and not interacting is a case of extreme anxiety. It doesn't feel safe at all, it feels like it's being hunted, hence it stays in the corner so it can see anything that comes and won't worry about it's backside. The lack of knowledge of the owner can result into bad behaviors of cats. Most mistakes of the owners is to train cats the way they would train babies and dogs. If an owner has basic knowledge of cats and still have a bad behavior, it's usually a sign that a cat is suffering from an illness, that's when they know it needs medical care
I saw a video where a cat guided lost people in a jungle back to civilization. The cat run hundred and hundred meters in front of their car, stopped few times for a while then continue running out of the jungle.
@Garrett A you probably were scared of them and did not give them much attention and love. Ive been rescuing cats since I was in 10th grade with the help of my aunt whos an animal lover and we had a few of them that were young and feral. For a few days it was very hard to take care of them since they kept hissing and just wanted to be left alone, but with us continuing to provide them with what they need and making contact with them can result to them being cuddly and sweet. Cats in general have their own energy, they're not always as energetic as dogs who are always up your face all the time, wagging their tails. That's why I love cats. They give me my space, I give them theirs. Even cats have their own personalities.
My cat makes me feel terrible for leaving home. This just made it worse lol
ouch my heart is being attacked by cuteness
Great, now I can never leave my cat alone at home again. Thank you.
My heart was literally breaking when he had the toy in his mouth :(
It wasn't.
It was... I died :( RIP
same me to..
+YourPalHDee if it was "literally" breaking, than you wouldn't be able to make this comment... you would be dead.
Congratulations :)
I wish I had a dictionary but my mom killed herself and left all her dictionaries to my older brother :(
I’ve watched quite a few ShoKo videos, but this is the first where my cat came running to Kodi’s meowing.
Actually, the first of any cat videos with vocals that she reacted to.
She could tell Kodi was distressed. Same with Shorty at the end.
yeah mine does that when i am upstairs and he does not know where i am.He even comes inside from being out. Checks on his domain. checks his human is ok and goes back outside. No food or water. Just checks on things. quite funny really
I LOVE ALL ANIMALS...I'm so thankful for my cat, Gypsy. I know she's thankful for me bci rescued her from b.n lost or abandoned. When she found us, her collar was partly wrapped around her neck&1 of her legs. All the hair was rubbed off from under her leg from that collar b.n stuck like that & no idea how long she'd been on her own traveling that way. I have loved&protected her from day 1. She waits by the door for me whether it's the bathroom door or the front or the back door when I'm outta her sight. she gives me kisses on my forehead and when I'm upset she knows. Cats are as smart as dogs. They Know What We Need More Than We Realize. They Are Very Spiritual Creatures As Well. And even tho Gypsy is bigger than my dog, they play so funny together. They really love one another. I Love Them Both Sooo Much, They Both Make Me Sooo Happy& Make Everyday Better!!
💙✌🌟
Same, I have two cats, one of them is an indoor cat after an injury, the other an outdoor cat. The outdoor one will come inside meowing, and not stop meowing until he's aware of where both humans are, and then he leaves the house quiet and happy without eating anything else
My cat won't even let me go to the bathroom with the door shut without scratching at the door.
Gertrude omg sameee I have to always take my cat with me in the bathroom
My cat gets pissed at me for closing the bathroom door. He's waiting just outside of it when I exit waiting to go in himself.
My mom told me that everyday when I left out the house to go to school, my cat would cry for me while walking around the house. And when we are all out, sometimes we come home to our socks all over the living room. Even if i go to bed sometimes and my cat doesn't notice me going up stairs, she will cry and i have to call her and she will come running u to my room. They get really attached.
Yeah, they really do.
Omg the sounds of those "Where are you meows" has me and my cats' anxiety on high. Everyone wants to help the lost kitty.
They definitely care about the owner, when they go hunting most of the time they will bring home some of the prey for you :)
BubuSnow93 I was given a dead bird. :') A bloody (literally) dead bird
I've been given live grasshoppers (which I'm terrified of), dead birds, lizards that are half alive, a live mouse, and a beer stubby holder for some reason
That last one may mean you have a problem. There's help. :D
BubuSnow93 my cat brings in lizards and I accept the gift but ya know... Throw it back out later
Nope. It is actually a warning of what will happen to humans if they don't obey to their future apocalyptic dictatorship. It was planned since-the-beginning.
My cat Baby got worried when she heard the cat crying. She is very maternal.
+M Halley My cat is laying on my bed and cleaning herself and I was playing this video she looked up and stared at me and my computer.
I think my cat is very loving, I once watched a video of two cats arguing and fighting and she was in my room and she was slowly tapping at the screen with her paw and when they started to fight she left the room scared, I think she wanted to help them but realized she couldn't so she left the room.
My cat's name is "Sadie" and she is so loving and adorable, she is always friendly to everyone who comes in my house.
Madalyn Hester
Aww, your cat sounds so sweet! Gotta love em!
+Madalyn Hester I ALSO HAVE A CAT NAMED BABI,THATS HOW MY GIRL'S NAME IS SPELLED😊
+M Halley I SEE OUR CATS HAVE THE SAME NAME EXCEPT MINE IS SPELLED WITH AN I,I WAS TRYNA LEAVE THE COMMENT TO U BUT ACCIDENTILY LEFT TO ANOTHER
Ms Consuela Robinson
That's awesome!
Think it's also an issue of; not every cat is the same, just like not every dog is the same and not every human is the same. People conduct studies on 1 or 2 cats and treat them like conclusive evidence of every cat's behaviour. Some women have loved me, and some have feigned love to manipulate me. Some dogs greet me out of love, some dogs greet me because they think they'll get a treat.
+ManCave Mayhem yes i agree, they get "tarnished with the same brush".
I am staying single forever.
Very true! When people say cats don't care or are vicious, that really depends on the cat. Some might be, especially if they have been badly treated by humans in the past - the same is true for dogs. Many cats are very affectionate, seem to understand how their owner feels, want to comfort their owner when they're sad and seem to miss them when they leave.
Maybe not compare women to dogs, dude.
+Taydra Cole exactly, that was an insult in itself.
When Cody calls for his dad, tears began to fall 😭
I was recently Doctor Diagnosed with anxiety, and when it got really bad my cat would snuggle up by my side each night.
TheMiniWriter I have diagnosed anxiety aswell. When an anxiety attack hits, or when it's bad enough I have a panic attack, my kittens give me kisses and purrs to let me know it will be okay. I think cats have a beautiful talent for comforting us♡
I have anxiety as well, and my cat does the same thing- except she lays ON me. hahaha I am 30 years old, have had my cat since I was 12 (so she is 18 now), and I developed anxiety/panic disorder when I was 16, in addition to depression. This cat has been my rock on countless occasions, and has given me the strength to go on when I didn't think I could, simply because she showed me unconditional love and was by my side unfailingly when no one else was.
I now have another cat as well, and a dog, and I can honestly say I never want for either love or affection.

Animals feel lonely just like humans. No mystery here.
I love when cats tap or slap things. I find it hilarious 😂
My cat and me are not owner and cat
We are best friends and we share everything whether it be good or bad - I am happy to have him as my friend
I love both cats and dogs but I think out of the two, cats are great therapy animals. Never had one that wasn’t. They are very keen and have a heightened sense of awareness whether you are angry, stressed, depressed or happy. They can become your best friend like a dog but less needy.
OMG - now I feel awful when my boyfriend and I go out for a few hour. Our poor furry baby!
Heartless. How dare you do ANYTHING without involving your cat in every conceivable way? lol
Salt McSalt
And people say having a pet isn't at all like having kids, LOL!
Madame Fluffy Mine is 17 years old, still acts like a toddler. If she wants salmon, but I give her tuna, then I'm starving her and I don't love her, apparently.
Kids, amirite?
Salt McSalt
Yup!
My little girl is five months old this Saturday. She used to like chicken; but the moment she had been introduced to fish (salmon, specifically - but loves tuna, just as much), nothing else cut it!
She gets wild when her wet food feeding time comes around and will not settle down until she's wolfing it down. XD
Madame Fluffy You need to get her a playmate
Another cat so that they can complain about you when you leave. No, seriously, they will keep each other company.
Cody is so cute , my cat would throw a party if i went out
Red Queen 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hahaha
Red Queen mine too my grown cat and kitten always want to be with me but give up so easy. So when I lock the door while I record a video they start meowing songs and somehow gets my rabbit out of its hutch. Such clever creatures!
Am i the only one who cried at this video
Well I felt sorry for the cat
Nora C nope. I cried at 2:21
That's why owners should always get two cats that get along well, so when the owner is gone, they don't feel all alone.
i cried too! my cat does this too!
I didn't cry but my heart felt sad
My cat always waits for me at the door when I come back home and she always jumps up onto my bed wanting to nestle next to me.
