Human “I am not a cat person.”
Cat. “Yes you are.”
Human. “Yes I am.”
🤭
💯😂😂😂
😂🤍
Exactly!!
And that is exactly what happens.
A friend gave me his kitten when he moved. I had no interest, "what am I supposed to do with it? She just sits on the couch and stares at me? Whatever" . Cue to 2 months later coming home from work :"where's the boo boo? There's the prettiest girl!" I was hooked.
😄👍🏼
Awwwwww, i love your story ❤
same thing but my mom’s friend gave her to us since they had too much pets, we’ve been raising her since she was 3 weeks old to now 11 weeks currently
😂😂😂😂❤
😻😻😻❣️🐾🐈🙏
Being "not a cat person" makes you a cat magnet.
@Mitchell Waldrep Lol yup! Funny how that works.
Oh...Well I guess I am not a cat person anymore.
They love the challenge....roarrr
Almost as much as being allergic to them. They home in on us like a missile.
Honestly found this the hard way, I'm on my 3rd cat 🐈 🐈⬛️ 🐱
“He’s an incredible cat”.....every cat owner ever.
Every cat ever, you mean
Yeah I had to laugh when the owner was going on about how high energy the little kitten was. It was exactly how active every single healthy kitten is! They are all completely bonkers and running around the house pouncing and chasing. I have loved all the cats I’ve had in my life and am grateful for the lessons each has taught me.
I suppose that cats, in general, are good pets. I know that I depend on my cats emotionally. They are an anchor of sanity and warmth in my troubled and uncertain life.
Every cat I see is just a succession of the cutest cats I've ever seen
Literally every cat is amazing 🐈 🐈⬛
I was never a cat guy, and then my neighbor said that she was taking her cat back to the shelter. He was about 6 months and I was afraid he might be put down since most people want a little kitten to adopt rather than a grown cat. I told her I would take the cat and try to find him a home. I was never able to find him a home so Rudy is still here. That was 13 years ago.
awwww
Gosh what a lovely story x
Brian your are a real man for giving a cat a home Ann Murphy Ireland
Did I mistunderstand or did you call a 6 month old cat a grown cat?
"I was never able to find him a home so Rudy is still here" You were too able to find him a home: YOURS! Aww💓🐈💓
Sometimes cats pick their owner. I'm saying goodbye to one of those special guys. My 20 year old Boo is just about done with his tour. He's been awesome. Glad he picked my daughter 20 years ago.
Boo, bless you now and when it is your time to cross your forever rainbow bridge. My thoughts with your family too. Boo's people, our babies love us, their spirits cannot just be gone, so he will love you always even when he has passed. Boo's spirit will not be lost to you. Strength and love to you all and Boo at this time.
Thats an amazingly long time! I wish you guys the best of luck. It's always hard to love and lose but in the end you never really lose, he'll be furever in your hearts & waiting on the rainbow bridge when its time to reunite. Best of luck! 🐈💗🐾
Boo will always be held dear in my heart too.
I agree that cats sometimes pick their person.
I was only 7 years old when my fur-baby came into my life. He was my first ever cat and I loved him dearly.
I had him for 12 years.
12/24/2020 the day before Christmas he crossed over to the rainbow bridge to be reunited with his sister Symbol and his stepbrother Zephyr.
However Boo will always live on even he passes away. He'll always be with you and your daughter in the memories you three have shared together.
Yes it's hard when they live you after they have lived with their humans for such a long time but no matter what they'll always be there in the memories you have of them.
And in dreams that you may have of seeing Boo. I myself had dreams about my own Fur-baby Snare and all he did was smile and purr as I scratched his favorite spot, his cheek.
You will meet him again, my darling.
“I see so much of Lily in this cat.” I’m thinking, You see the reflection of your own heart in the cat. Lily’s gift in gratitude for all your love. Blessings kind people.
Many people say they are not "cat people". But when you have an opportunity to be around a kitten it changes your heart. Its a beautiful thing.
Since I was a little kid I loved cats so much and I was the only person in my family who liked them. Today to my shock, my cousin has a cat and my sister and they loooove their kitties. They found both cats on the street too! So amazing the way cats just appear into your life !!
Turns one into a mush ball!
47 years ago when I met my husband he had no place in his heart for cats he'd been raised with dogs. When I took him to my house for the first time shortly after we met... I had two females at the time who decided to have litters a week apart and I had 11 kittens. It took no time at all before this lovely man was in the full thrall of these tiny creatures. And now nearly 50 years later we just got a new kitten at 5 weeks old abandoned in an old building. We have shared and loved so many cats together through our life and even now with our advanced age... We are so excited to have a new tiny one around.... We also have a 1-year-old calico who's also an awesome cat. So yes a man's man... The very manly attitude of a full-time construction worker lol turns to a puddle of ooo's and awes every time the kitten jumps up on his chest. Is such a wonderful thing to see.
Man: "I'm not a cat person"
Kitten: "you sure about that?"
People don't own cats, they own you 🐈
That's cute 🙂

I had dog. Is cat now!
Exactly.
Who knows, it's possible
It is most likely.
A very good possibility indeed.
Poor man never really stood a chance against the power of a kitten 😊
My father told my mother they were not adopting the stray kitten which had been hanging about the house. “Nope, no way, not getting another cat, ever! Definitely not!”
My mother came home to find my father sleeping in the chair with the kitten lying cuddled in, sleeping on his chest. 😁😁
you see the power of the kitten's ability to control the mind of a human for its own survival in action🤣
We men really are romantics at heart. We just have to open it up first. That's tough nowadays.
I'm glad something like a cat's love can make you want to do so. Even some women can do that if they are caring people. I find it hard to open up as well.
It's not about being a cat or dog person. It's about being an animal person
I wasn't a cat guy either. When I was young my family found a shy, timid, flea infested kitten at the bottom of a box of free kittens at a shop. We took her home, cleaned and fed her. I fell in love with her immediately. That was back in 1996. She passed away from old age in 2020. I miss her every damn day. RIP Kitty 96-20.
They’re so helpless. It just breaks my heart when I see those babies in the condition your baby was. So glad she got to live the life she deserved and you got the joy of loving her.
Wow, you got 24 years with your cat! How fortunate! It’s always sad losing any fur babies and I don’t know how I will be when that days comes hopefully not for a long time.
You were a great dad to her. Kitty obviously loved you. 💔😥
RIP Kitty 😔😿❣️
May she welcome you in heaven
I decided nine years ago I would never close my heart to a cat in need.
Human : I am not a cat person.
Cat: I am about to ruin this human's whole career.
imagine making a career out of not being a cat person
That’s funny and true!!
@@ProdByDrestar There probably is someone out there that does. With merch and a website.

@@catz537 or they just haven't met the right cat.
My dad sleeps with a tuxedo cat he tried to give away twice. Since my little brother bonded with him. I made sure he didnt go anywhere. Now my dad looks for him before bed every night and wont go to bed until he finds him. He even sleeps in my moms spot when shes at work 😂❤❤❤
Adorable. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
😂😂😂😂
I wasn’t a cat person, all my life I grew up away from cats, i’ve always had this mindset where they just do whatever they want and you have no control over them and they didn’t love you. One day my sister asked me to watch her house and feed her pets and I was so worried about the cat she had, but when I first met him he couldn’t stop giving me headbutts. Everywhere I layed down he’d sleep on me purring loudly that’s when my mindset broke. A couple months later my family got 2 kittens for the first time sadly one is no longer with us.
That‘s usually cause ppl think cats have to be like dogs. But cats just communicate differently. They have stronger boundaries, get overstimulated very easily, and get defensive when you cross their boundaries. Dogs do that too but usually dogs vibe a lot better since their domestication is literally made to benefit us so they are more simmilar in behavior. Cats are predator animals though. And while they are social as well, they are just more like us. Aka they need compfort but won‘t give it to you all the time cause sometimes they wanna be left alone as well, they have their own personality and patience level. And if you disrespect them or their boundaries, theyll warn you about it or start fighting you if you don‘t listen. Cats teach you to respect them. And to respect animals in general. My cats taught me to research my dogs behaviors too to better know their emotional world from their own language. Animals are different from us. And not every animal is gonna be like a dog. But if you respect them, and give them time and patience they‘ll learn to love you back. My cat is very affectionate too for example. But he also needs his alone time. And we respect that. I even got him a privacy curtain for his cat tower so he can sleep in my room still compfortably. And he likes it a lot too!
Ppl like to frame us as delusional for „letting a cat dominate us“ but all that really is honestly is selfish human egomania where people wanna treat animals like their compfort slaves with no regard for the animals own compfort needs or boundaries. Like, animals are all individual and unique. And learning to respect them for their compfort and safety as well as a good relationship with them has nothing to do with getting dominated by a pet. It‘s not dominating to expect someone to respect your boundaries and understand that you don‘t wanna cuddle all the time. And it also kinda makes me sad too sometimes cause these ppl will frame cats like they are sassy and rude for hiding under the couch or something after they played with them too much where the cat literally has to hide in fear to be left alone just to get the person to stop harrassing the poor thing. It‘s not a cat being sassy or rude. It‘s not even about hating you. It‘s about wanting to be left alone and wanting to be respected for that basic need. And if someone is entitled in that situations it‘s the humans imo cause true selfishness is ignoring a pets needs and love language differences, expecting every species to be a copy paste of dogs and then framing a scared and overstimulated animal as rude or sassy cause you mistreated them and now they feel threatened by you. Like those kinds of people annoy me so much. Ppl need to learn to respect their animals more. And in the age pf the internet, not learning about your pet‘s species specific social needs and language is basically a smaller form of neglect. If you chose to get a animal, you gotta do the bare minimum of understanding it at least. Cause you owe your pet that. No matter what species. Cause many dogs would benefit from „owners“ too if these people knew how to play with their dogs without constantly overstepping boundaries and stressing the dog. Animals deserve better from us. So we need to pit effort into them too. Not just expect to be catered to emotionally like we are some kind of god.
Really well said! Other things some people like to accuse cats of being is aloof, cold, and uncaring. Just because they don’t jump all over you aggressively doesn’t mean they can’t be affectionate. Cats rub their faces and bodies against you, purr, cuddle up against you, and even give you little licks. They’re just usually chill and relaxed. They’re a completely different species, so of course you can’t expect them to act the same! Bottom line is love can be expressed in many ways, but it’s still there. 💖
Update: My mom went obssesed and overboard and now we own more than 30 Cats. Someone please save me.

@@airnidzo OMG BABY YODA AHHHHHHHH
Nobody is a "cat person" until they have a cat. Then they learn all the magical things they didn't know about cats. I was married to a crazy cat lady once. I miss those cats 🤣
😊

Sometimes it is just meant to be. I was not planning on adopting a kitten from the litter my friend took in but the little runt stole my heart. Merlin is little but mighty with a big personality and definitely sees me as mom. She is my baby.
Too funny I adopted an older cat after my other passed when I got her, her name was Bunny (yea I know). I brought her home and made her comfortable in my bathroom until she settled down a bit. I went to check on her and couldn't find her anywhere in a small bathroom. I was thinking she was like a magician disappearing like. I finally found her sitting on the shower threshold between the curtain and the liner. I decided her new name would be Murlin.
I had a cat once, but she had to go because my mom didn't feel comfortable with a girl cat. She's gonna find me a male cat.. but I still feel alone without a little bean to run around. 😢
The owner is so right, it was meant to be. Mat is one cute kitten.
No one can resist the cuteness of a baby animal. 💖🙏🏻
His first animal friends in Heaven is very happy for them all.
Not "owner", but use the term "caregiver". No one owns a life......just ask the american slaveowners from the 18th/19th centuries........all those slaveowners are dead...if they couldn't control their own deaths, how could they own another life?

When that kitty was throwing paws about his milk bottle 😂😂😂 im so glad he found himself a loving home. I wasnt a cat person until my sister brought in a stray cat a few years ago. He is the most loveable baby ever. I just adore him ❤ ive always been a dog person and have always had dogs but Im now thinking of getting a cat.
Don't wait...get an orange tabby...they're the best !!
"Really not a cat person" UNTIL they realize the treasure they have in their hands.😻 Cats rock❣
Not that I want any animal to be abandoned, but I’m always jealous of people who just find these loving animals in need of a home.
Lol, they're really not hard to find. We've found 7.
That’s how I got mine. Left behind when someone moved and she hung around the complex crying for food. I took her in and she’s the best thing ever.
I've found quite a few wild birds that have been injured, and although you'll see people take care of wild birds, I for one could not so I gave them to the humane society in the end
We found our Puggle just wandering around. Called his old owners and they acted as though they hated this sweet, loving dog. He was scared of yelling and hands higher than his head for weeks so we knew he was beaten.
Buddy is such a sweet baby boy and we were happy to take him in 💘
I was a dog person but I didn't used to hate cats, I just wasn't into them. Things changed when a stray started visiting me regularly. Initially, I used to feed her only milk or cheese but later came to know that adult cats can be lactose intolerant, so I switched to cat food. The only time she used to allow me pet her was when she was busy feasting on her food. It took a lot of patience and now months later she doesn't hesitate to rub herself against my legs and groom me with her licks. Well, cats are my adoration now. Tbh I'm writing this comment while Billie is chilling close beside me now. Precious moments.
Whenever I hear people say they aren't cat people, I know what they really mean is they've never raised a kitten.
I have raised a kitten before and it didnt make me a cat person.
I've always wished my cats could've stayed kittens just a little bit longer; hated how fast they grew up too quickly. They're still fun and funny, but not quite like when kittens. 😊
playing with kittens is the BEST entertainment ever

RIP Lilly! ❤🌹
Now that is a cat with a personality lol adorable
I never wanted to own a cat. Then a week old kitten came into my life. I bet the vet I would be finding a home for him once he was old enough. The vet told me "No you won't". The vet won. Once you feed them as a baby your bond is so strong. It would have been like giving up a child.
This is what's known as a sucker bet.
That vet must have a retirement account set up for all the money he makes from these sucker bets on kittens and puppies!🐈🐕💕💞💖🤗
Totally agree with you on the feeding them as a baby part. We'd had 3 cats when I was growing up/still youngish. My favorite was Lily, a stray black kitten who showed up on our porch in May of 2012, a week after my first episode of severe clinical depression when I was 19. We never planned on taking her in since we already had a sick elderly cat, Pixie, also solid black. But then in October when Hurricane Sandy took off, we brought her in. Unfortunately, she had feline leukemia (when we got her spayed, unfortunately we DID get her declawed, but only because our house is way too small, and she was WAY too wild and excited, to successfully keep her away from Pixie) and would only survive for 2 more years, with Pixie dying a year and a half later - and never catching the leukemia! That was the last cat we planned to bring in, as my mom's childhood allergies to cats became active again after being treated for autoimmune problems.
But now my mom has been living with my grandmother since she has vascular dementia and just needs that extra bit of help, and I have just stayed at home with my dad till I either meet the right person, or save enough to (successfully) live on my own! Well, my dad goes out to our old, dilapidated and junky garage to smoke, and heard little kitten "mews" coming from somewhere outside one morning in July 2021. Heard them throughout the day and saw one peeking out behind some junk its mom must have had it behind. He told me about it, and knowing that more than half the strays on our street seemed to disappear the day before, we went out to the garage to look for it! Well, that one found its way out from all the junk, with a second one, smaller and weaker, peaking out before also coming out and they both ran right up to us! They were just mewing and mewing, clearly hungry if they each were both mewing all day and brave enough to not even be afraid of us.
We took them in that night and then to the vet the next day, who estimated them to be 2 females around 4 weeks old based on their teeth - which is when they'd start being weaned from the mother in nature - the vet still recommended sticking to kitty formula for a couple weeks because they were both severely underweight for being 4 weeks old, and to bring them back a month later. Oh my goodness, I've never grown SO attached to a pet SO quickly!! The first one to appear we named Cali, since she had a MOSTLY grey coat with some white and brown that resembles a unique take on a Calico, and the smaller one got the fitting name of Minnie. They grew in no time, and while we tried to feed them on a 4 hour schedule, Minnie was usually hungry again after between just 2 & 3 hours. Turns out Minnie was actually a male (& Cali was female) and he was smaller & hungrier because he had worms - and was actually just too small to see his balls when we first took them LOL! So even as he was catching up in size to Cali faster than she was growing, and the fact that we're TOTALLY not creative, we just kept his name the same, only spelling it now as "Mini." Now they're both thriving, with Cali around 6 to 7 pounds and Mini around an incredibly ironic 12 to 13 pounds, which we have found to be an even better conversation starter than just simply having kittens.
TL;DR - I had to feed 2 kittens my dad and I found in our garage kitty formula by hand for a few weeks and agree that hand-feeding them creates an attachment so much stronger than I'd have EVER predicted!
Sorry this comment was SO long!! For some reason I can never seem to JUST mention finding or raising my 2 mischievous babies - in a comment or response to one - in a short or simple way without the need to include both HOW they were discovered AND the emotional attachment that hand-feeding them creates!!
I fed my bf's cat the first night she was alive as her mother died hours after giving birth. I remember being completely scared and willing her to eat and get big so she wouldn't be in danger of dying like three of her siblings did. (I think something went seriously wrong at the birth, but they never took her or the kittens to the vet. Frustrating.)

I agree. I fostered only one cat in my life because I couldn't give him up. If I continued fostering, I'd have 100 cats. I live in an apartment that wouldn't work.
Lilly from doggy heaven sent her humans this little kitten to take their pain away.
That is very sweet
Aww that's cute :)
You are right. She surely did. The same happened to us, but the other way, I mean we lost our beloved cat, he had leucemia, and no long after that a cute abandoned female dog came into our lives. Suertudo (Lucky) our Angel cat, opened our house door to her, Nube(Cloud), from Heaven. God bless animals.
Aww yea
@@susjf8644 Oh how sweet. I am in tears.
You fed, nurtured and saved Mats life. Sometimes you bond when you don't even realize it. Mat is so adorable and he's lucky to have you both.
Beautiful! I always think that when our beloved pets depart, they are reborn again in new and young bodies. Because they retain so much personality from the pets before it’s almost coincidental lol. It’s like having your beloved pets again. My 18-year baby girl passed away almost a year ago, and we brought a wonderful little munchkin home. He retained her exact same personality that we thought she was reborned again in him lol. Animals are love ❤️
Human “I’m not a cat person”
Cat “I don’t remember giving you an option”
Human " I'm not a cat person "
Cats "the humans always said the same...."
🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahaha exactly
People who say "I'm not a cat person" turn out to be some of the best cat owners.
Cause unlike dogs cats don't love without question or unconditionally. You gotta work for them and I assume people who "don't like cats" there's a mutual dislike between them so when a relationship does actually form between the two it means something because they had to work for it. Idk just my guess.
It's me....i was hating cats so bloody much now I have rescued more than hundred cats
Um yeah. My husband is a clear example of this. He fell hard for a giant orange tabby we inherited from my daughter, and now they literally take the 10 second commute to work from bed to the home office. My husband will tell him it’s time to go to work, and Archie will get up and follow him into the office and spend most of the day in there with him. I’ve never seen anything like it.
@@kathrynnielson5689 this is adorable! Awwww 🥰
Hmm, I dont think that´s true. Most people who are not cat persons never make the switch, but they don´t end up in youtube videos.

Cats are wonderful, each has a unique personality, just like dogs❤ so glad he was kept with the first family to love him 🤗
Man: in the beginning there was no emotion with him at all.
Shot of him cuddling the cat protectively.
He was in denial
I found my first cat at the humane society. I went in looking for a dog and this kitten saw me and went crazy. I asked to see her and she immediately wrapped her legs around my neck, meowed like crazy, then started purring. I told my wife she's coming home with us. She's been gone almost 30 years. I miss her.
They say you don’t choose the cat; the cat chooses you. ❤️
I really like it, that you still think and talk about your little friend after such a long time.

Rip for your wife bro 🙏
@@uz.f1746 I'm pretty sure he's talking about the cat...

I love videos like this! I never had a cat, then I met my partner, a "cat person" who loves cats. We have 4 rescued cats, each with a different personality, and I/we love all of them! (Especially our latest addition, Maggie, little more than a kitten, who thinks she's "the boss"!)
People who don't like cats have no idea what they're missing out on.
Edit: To all the nay-sayers - yes.
my cat brings me such joy i can’t even describe! every day is better because of him, and i’ve never been a “cat person”
Sorry but not everybody likes cats and if they dont they arent missing out

Lmao, Nope.
@@wwkattii which is exactly why she said that if you don’t like them you don’t know what you’re missing out on.
The definition of "when love finds you".
I wasn't a cat person either 7 years ago. Fast forward to today , I care for around 25 cats. Each and everyone is special. I have lost several💔. I miss them all , but know they are waiting for me on the other side. Very difficult to lose them , they are still in my heart.
Each of them is special and unique. Losing them is losing a family member.
Dang I've been a cat person since I was 1 years old and I'm 17 now
I have 8 dogs, 5 puppies, had 3 kittens, apart from them lost 3 dogs and 8 kittens to some virus, all these were abandoned or unwanted. Death leaves a void , fill that by giving love care to rescue.
I was not a cat person but now I have 5 additional family members. They were all rescued from the streets. One of the best decisions I have made. Adopt from your local shelters or rescue organizations. It will improve your life and your well-being!
Never was a cat person then one night after I got off work a kitten I'd heard about by other workers outside came up to me as I was leaving and stared rubbing up to my legs. I took it home and raised it. My children grew up with it. Great cat.
Just love my two cats amd they love me back !

Got 4. Mama Cat,Brave Heart,,Fraidy Grady,and Bob Tail. Three females one male,Bob Tail. All with kittens except Bob of course, by Daddy Stray Cat who make an occasional appearance. He's a Manx. Black and white with one inch tail. Looks like something that you'd find on the cover of a Stephen King novel. Creepy slanted eyes .🐱🐈🐺🐈🦝
Eddie, my late husband and I had a female cat named Braveheart, who passed in February 2017. She was the best and we loved her so much. When my husband passed, it was so hard, because it was May 2017, and 3 months after Braveheart. The cats I have now help me so much though as do my family!
kitty chose you, that's the best
Great cat
It's funny how a little kitten can wrap even the biggest men around their little fingers if given a chance.
Hey i found this
Yup that is exactly what I was thinking. Lol
I know I'm convinced that all cats come pre-programed instincts that will do whatever is necessary to be adoptable.
Almost every person I’ve ever met that thinks that don’t like cats have never had a cat. Now, I love all animals. Cats and dogs are both awesome. I’ve had and will again have both. But, I do identify as a cat person. Alls it takes to fall in love with cats is to raise one ☺️
Lilly sent you this baby……. She anguished how hard you guys were taking her loss and her energy is back with you again. I’ll bet you feel an amazing sense of calm.
Lilly: "Hey mom and dad, I sent you Mat. He didn't have anyone to love him, so I thought both of you would be great parents and take care of him furever."
Oh god don't make it dramatic. You want to see us in tear?
Exactly what i thought too. Soooo cute..
Lily sent him to them..
Sure she did !
thats what i was thinking too, he was sent to them to mend their broken hearts
😭
Guy: He is like a lion
Kitten:Must eat hooman finger
Loll
It's weird indeed. Everywhere I comment, people tell me how much they love me and my videos. Sometimes it is annoying. But right now it would be okay. So say something nice about my content, dear tania
what the heck
@@hopegeiger after i saw his content and saw he got 31.5k subs , i kinda lost my hope in humanity xD
@@AxxLAfriku right now you are annoying
😆
So much respect for this couple..they are a dog person who just lost their beloved dog, still they have the heart to take care a helpless kitten.. even if it because of pity which many people don't have these days, but now look at that 😄 👍👍👍👍
What a lovely story. This Kitty was lucky to find himself such a great home. 😺❤️
You can’t tell me that Lily didn’t bring this little phone-sized kitty into your lives & home.
A gift from her indeed❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m not religious but part of my is like “that’s Lily reincarnated as a cat”
@@silverstorm1000 when he said I see so much of Lily in him. I was like or that's Lily. Lol
I lost my pup and I'd love for her to be able to come back to me. Like that one dog movie where he is reincarnated many times trying to find his way back to his human.
That’s exactly what I was thinking!!
Lily made sure the hole in your hearts was filled❤
These are wonderful wonderful people , how rare they are, Lilly lives in that kitty I truly believe that , knew you both were suffering so she came back as a kitty to love you both some more!!!!!❤️
I always find it easier to trust people who like cats. Cats can be assholes, they like their own space but they can also be incredibly loving and affectionate. Unlike a lot of dogs who love unconditionally, you need to win over their trust. To have the patience to do that I've found often translates in how people treat other people too.
That's how I see cats, you have to earn their love and it's worth more when you do. A dog just gives it away free.
@@faustusTVR Yep 👏🏻
Very true. My cat is super picky. She loves me to death but most other people she does not like. She especially doesn’t like males though for some reason.
@@ChaoticAngelKitten just the same way my dear cat was.
@@rahmamustafa919 I think it’s because most of the bad things that happened to her were caused by men
He's so dang playful and I LOVE it, and my favorite part was when they were giving each other some cute kitty kisses. Like, are y'all TRYING to melt my heart in lava with how CUTE this is???
Honestly, I think everyone who has a heart can become a cat person. Cats have evolved in such a way that they are just outright adorable with their quirkyness and their cute little noses and pointy ears and fluffy bellies. I think cuteness is their secret weapon, and it makes them incredibly successful in times where almost everyone of us needs their daily dose of emotional healing.
As for saying goodbye to a loved furbaby, it will 100% break my heart when my darling cat passes. But then my life would be so much sadder without my cat that I will never regret adopting her. She even makes my marriage more stable, because we both know it would break our kitty's heart should either of us no longer be part of her life. She's very attached to her human family, and I just want her to live the best life possible, even if that means I will have to let her go one day. She will forever be my first feline love, and I am just so very grateful to have her in my life.
That little boy was irresistible. It almost seemed as though Lilly was guiding him. She was helping this little piece of fluff to mend their broken hearts
That's what I think, too. ♥️😇🐕🐈♥️🐾
True
No matter, how tough, can't have animals, don't like them, whatever the case... A little kitty will capture your heart and win every time, so nice
@Cat Raps whaaaaat?? You’re dog would have eaten a baby kitten?? Dang
Danke fürs ihre Hilfe und Unterstützung der Kätzchen 👍🙏😽🙏😽😽❤️😽❤️
I found my cat abandoned on the side of the highway in June 2020. Just sitting there, looking like he was waiting for someone. Adult cat but very thin and as it turns out is about 14 yrs old. When I stopped the car, he ran to me and would not leave, so I took him home before anything bad happened. Fast forward to March 2021 and he is my shadow. I cannot see my life without him. Although he is deaf and blind in one eye, he is so full of love and life. I feel that I am the lucky one....
Giant thank you for saving his life.
Thank you for saving their life and finding appreciation in a senior cat
You are amazing to have met your baby at that very spot on the motorway.Somethings are just mmenat to be.x
This story just warms my heart. Thank you for saving him. 😺
Thank you for helping him & not just leaving him there; he was worth saving 🐈🐾❤️....I’m so glad he’s your shadow & y’all love each other ❤️.
Shout out to the man who heard the kitten’s cries and made the choice to look for him and rescue him. This video doesn’t happen if that man doesn’t step up.
The man is like feeding the kitty from his mouth "when are we going to give him back" 😂
Person: "I'm not a cat person."
Kitten: "Ah, I sense a challenge..."
Beautiful story 💕 The day after our beloved dog “Guero “ passed away at age 13, my husband rescued a tiny kitten that ran under the car in front of him on a busy street. I was beyond sad and did not want a cat, my heart was broken and I couldn’t open it to a new animal. I took care of him reluctantly because the shelter said they would put him down, he was too little and needed continuous care. The shelter was full because we had just had a flood. Fast forward six years, here he is sleeping next to me, I couldn’t imagine life without him. I think he was sent to heal me😇🙏🐯💕
Please see my UA-cam🥰🦆💕
@Brenda G... Yeah its hard to love again totally for a while after grieving but it does return.

@@kittypretty3797 Hey.
Always
@@Trish707 Yuh 😫🥵🥶
It’s happened to me when I lost one of my furry friends. I tried to close myself off, but that melts away, and I find myself caring for and loving another furry friend that needs me.
This is so heartwarming... such a joy to witness such a strong bond form between two unlikely candidates. So sweet!! In similar fashion, my father is a super tough - I hate to perpetuate stereotypes but for lack of a better term, "manly man" and his closest companion is a super fluffy white kitten.
This kitty has it made! Wishing this sweet family a lifetime of health & happiness ❤
It's so much fun watching grown men turn to mush with kittens and cats.
Lesson: Being a cat person is one of the qualities of masculinity.
gay dudes love cats too..
@@genesis6d7 Gay dudes are masculine. Outdated bullshit stereotypes of what masculinity is supposed to be, isn't.
@@genesis6d7 and your point? gtfo here with that fragile masculinity
Very well kept secret 😉 lmfao 😂
@@vinaigretti if my cat is not here to syphon some of that masculine energy away....I might explode 💥💥💥
That is one beautiful and blessed little kitty to have been saved, and to have found a loving home. Truly wonderful!!! 😍🥰🐈🐈⬛
You just never know what beautiful gifts land in your life after such sadness. Lily lives on in your hearts and Mat has stolen your hearts. Lily would love that another snuggles is playing with her treasured toys! What a great love story💕🐾
"Saving one animal won't change the world, but it will change the world for that one animal." ❤️❤️❤️
So true 💙
I love it when people who say they aren't cat people meet the cat meant for them 😻
I think quite a bit of us "not cat people" end up being cat people. I'm an animal lover but was raised with dogs and with a parent that swore he was allergic to cats. My dad even kept up the ruse up until I got my first girl kitty (she was my second cat). I'll never forget the day I came home to find my dad trying to get the kitten out from under the bed...allergic my ass. lol. Even funnier, a year later, my parents got their first kitten. You are so right, they just haven't been picked by their perfect cat :)
@Joanne - One more thing, love your profile pic, tuxedo cats are my favorites!
@@stiixgirl6148 oh ty hon, that's my boy Snuggleberry. He passed about a year and a half ago, but he was the best!
Hope you HAVE 21 years or more happiness with this kitten, I am sure THAT he will always bring YOU sunshine every day you will NEVER stop smiling every day .
Everyone isn't a cat person until they find the perfect personality cat for themselves, and you will never going back 😂
My cats melt my heart ❤️🌹
Once you go cat. You never go back.
Exactly!! There's so many different personalities out there... Or should I say, purrsonalities 😏
You know they're not "cat people" when the cat is named Matt.
If they were Cats people he would be called Mister Mistoffelees
Gotta name him Twinkle Toes LMAO
I think it's "Mat"💀Like the rug or cat with a "m"...
I'm a cat person, my boys are named Frank and Tony
Only “good” people love animals, or so my Mother used to say. My daughters and I are happier because of our love all animals. My husband? Not so much!
This is so heart warming. I am a cat breeder and there is nothing better than to see our small ones dig into the prospective owners hearts. You can actually see the moment when they decide they will love the little fur ball. It's like a key found a lock.
I’m watching this for probably the 100th time! I love every second, especially at 1:31 where Mat keeps swatting away his bottle. That wild paw action is HILARIOUS. What a spirited adorable little guy! 💋😻❤️
"We're just not feeling a connection with this cat"
Hon, this is The Dodo. Lack of connection with an animal was never an option.
Well, sometimes an edgy troll comes out of the woodwork to say something like that, but it's rare.
😂😂
@@IamIsaiah144 This, i had a cat who it took years to open up and become friendly.
I've never met a cat that gives so many kisses! Rescues are always the most loving animals, they are so thankful for their owners.
Rescued animals have best character and they melt your heart... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My cat gives constant kisses. I love him to death.
AKA: lip exfoliation treatment. 😂
@@deathbycheese850 same!
I have a rescue kitty that wakes me every morning with headbutts and kisses. Every sunrise, without fail. I no longer need an alarm clock. It's his little ritual to start each day. I love him so much!
1:12 That adorable jump and his little paws! How could you not fall in love with him!❤
I don't care how big you are, how tough you are, the power of a cute kitten is NOT to be taken lightly.Even chuck Norris isnt immune!
Most ppl who say they “aren’t cat ppl” just really don’t know cats. Cats can be fantastic pets and companions. They know when you’re down or sad or sick. I love dogs too but I love cats!!
I agree with you 100%. I too...Did not see myself owning a cat, but last January 2020 (right before the pandemic) , I found a kitten abandoned on my building's stairway...and took her in overnight...due to the freezing weather. Well...the rest is history. She's been with me all this time. Shots, microchiped & all, and has been a great companion especially during this pandemic. My heart❤ is now in a totally different place. I cannot see myself without her. Great therapy😺 cat for me.
I do know cats, but im not a cat person. My mother had cats, my grandma had a cat.. My neighbours.. So many people I know and I knew their pets. I liked the cats but than a cat bite me really bad and now Im really afraid of them. Im not a cat person at all now. (I have a dog now, which I rescue from an animal shelter.)
@@pfuetzenpoesie cat pfp
@@nhatthanh4070 ????
Cats really don't give a damn about you. They see you as their food source. There is no loyalty. They only want you for what you do for them.
Let's not kid ourselves. Cats are cool they are nice to have around. I like cats. But let's face the reality. Cats don't give a damn about you. You love the cat. The cat loves eating.
Person: “I’m not a cat person.”
Me: “Resistance is futile.”
I wonder how many will get your Star Trek reference ... I cerntainly did! That's funny!
My first cat was named anika aka 7 of 9 because I was not a cat person. Did not last long before I was assimilated lol
@@sendv10 Annika Hansen. BKA - Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01 was one of my favorites from Voyager.
I love cats and dogs sooo much, but would welcome most animals (not keen on reptiles, spiders etc though!) it's just a matter of opening your heart and letting them in, they give so much, each animal has a different personality, how could you not love them? What a wonderful story...
Congratulations on being chosen! I always say that cats find their own people. They have a way of just showing up 😁
You just know when someone says "I'm not a cat person" they're gonna end up with a cat. 🐱💕
Reminds me of when my wife and I got Romeo. We were out walking, and a tiny kitten started following us. My wife was hesitant to check him out, because we already had two cats, but he was way too small - I felt sure he was abandoned - which we later confirmed. I took him home, with my wife insisting that we couldn't keep him. He was three weeks old, and massively infested with fleas so we had to give him a series of flea baths over a couple of days, and feed him from a bottle. He clearly did not like the flea comb, or the baths, but he took it so stoically, I named him Spartacus. Then I had to go away on business for a few days, and came back to have my wife tell me his name was Romeo because he was such a lover, and we were going to keep him - my plan all along, except for the name. But I understood the first night - when we went to bed, he curled up around her neck and purred like a maniac. So Romeo won her heart and we got to keep him.
Wholesome story 💜
Aw, lil Rotacus ♥️
@@tee3835
"Rotacus" - I like that!
Me too!😍😍😍😍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@pdoylemi haha me too!
He’s a gorgeous, crazy, sweet soul! What a great personality! Bless you for rescuing him AND for keeping him!
I truly feel animals are so grateful when they are saved from a horrible life, and then their lives are forever changed for the better. They never forget it and will love you with such an intense love. They know. 🧡❤️🔥
The cat knew from the first minute. They adopt you. Every cat that stayed with me made a choice to steal my heart.
“Im not a cat person”
Every cat : “and i took that personally”
My condolences for Lilly, I know your pain. Lilly's love shines through this kitten. You're all a awesome family. Peace.
