At least you gave Ozzy a dignified life and death so thank you for this. I hope charma runs back to those, who buy such an adorable "wild" animal as a pet without thinking a minute of its needs an to which sice it will grow.
You said it! Talk about some zoos in poor countries they keep wild animals in little cage you can't even walk 10 steps there, it's horrible so that animals are extreme angry, zoo is just a buisness and zero animal rights...
No apologies needed Michael! You did this for love, nothing else. Thank You for sharing your secret, I’ve always wondered where you got your Tigers from. Take good care of your heart and spirit ❤️🐾
umm, how does that sound weird lol. Would you rather live 20 years of constant happiness, or 100 toxic and terrible years? same thing sister i'd like to disclose, this aint hating, just my opinion!!
@Stoned Noob: One of the tigers Michael had but Ozzy unfortunately passed away. Before Michael got him as a cub, Ozzy was malnourished and was severely lacking calcium and his legs were deformed. Michael took care of him, got Ozzy seen by the vet, and managed to get him to 2 years of life but Ozzy also had intestinal and pelvic problems 😥
Stoned Noob have you watched this video yet? He explains about Ozzy here. Also there's a video on this channel called, "my name is ozzy and this was my life" check it out.
Kidnapped tigers, spending money to buy them from the exotic animal marketplace creates incentive to continue to kidnap the few tigers that remain in the wild.
rand0m0mg 13:48 . Watch the video before you make stupid fucking accusations like that. He even said that he found Ozzy and many of his bones were broken and he was unable to move. Do you really think that the tiger was going to survive longer than 2 days if he hadn't "kidnapped" him?
In chinese astrology horse born (thats me) are best friends with tiger born. Tiger born people are very bold brave and courageous and positive. Its no wonder Michael would adopt 2 tigers and do what he has done with them. Horses are free spirited fun and wilful.
I have been watching all his videos recently. It's really refreshing. Taking of care of animals who requires high maintenance takes a great deal of effort, patience, courage and time...
There's nothing wrong with your English. Love your videos. I just came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and and have seen many of your videos with Enzo and Diego. I'm not sure I'm ready to watch the videos with Ozzy in them yet - I feel sad that he passed away. But I know you took very good care of him and he had a good life. I would like to see all of them when the time is right. Please don't delete any of them. Thank you.
Even though when I watched your video “my name is Ozzie and this was my life” I cried, I was left wondering what happened to him? I’m so glad you made this video because now I know, and it makes me love your channel even more, because it’s real. I rescue animals and its a miracle when one falls into your life unexpectedly with health issues and you are able to give them the best life you can as long as you can. Never apologize, your animals are beautiful and magnificent and your videos always make me happy! Thank you for sharing about something that I know is never easy. You will never have tears unless you know there was much happiness before. Keep Sharing it all, I’ll keep watching!
Michael keep doing what your doing, Tigers like many other big cats are on the endangered species list. Enzo and Diego have the perfect life, full of personality and to watch these 2 cats rough house and just play is fantastic. The majority of us would have no idea that Tigers could have such crazy personalities without channels such as yours. Thank you for your videos and allowing us into your home.
Love watching you, Enzo, Ozzy, Diego and all your animals. 👊💞 Please don't ever delete those videos. They're precious and I will watch them repeatedly. I've taken in 2 feral cats and I believe that they choose you.. They choose to be there, as much as you want them to be there. Thank you for sharing them with us.. 💕💜💙🐾🐾
Michael, I'm enjoying the videos with your comments, the stories about your tigers, their monkeys, their dogs and cats, I think it's more dynamic, more friendly, even
I cried watching this. Discovered your channel today because i was searching about pet cats, and I got attached instantly. I am amazed by how you love your tigers and sad that Ozzy was gone too soon, but also glad you didn't take down his videos coz he's adorable.💙
Yes! The world does NEED more people like him. There are people all over the world who are helping animals in need,there are animal conservationists trying to keep as many wildlife from going extinct,and millions more who do even the tiniest thing to make an animals' life a better one. I know & understand that very well because I'm a rescuer for animals since I was a child,eons ago! I rescued mainly feral cats,kittens,a few dogs,and I know what great care & LOVE can do for any creature! They thrive! They flourish and grow and live long happy much loved lives. It's so heartwarming to actually see the progressions from scared,abandoned,hurt,beaten down animals turn into the beautiful,gentle,sweet cats they become,with LOVE. Yes,there are some exceptions where a feral cat will always remain "feral",but with me,they know they've been saved and they know I will always be here for them,I may not be able to turn some into "lap cats",and it's OK. I respect their "space". I love them all equally and I'll never turn my back on any animal in need of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE,because that's what they give us in return.😊❤
Thank you for the vlogs. I do have a little question about their "language"- other than when they're really angry, do the tigers use their tails to communicate? Do they convey their moods with them like a regular cat? Please leave the video with Ozzy up. Here's why: 1. He's an important part of the tigers' and your history. He's a key figure in it. 2. I think if you take the video down it would be like trying to remove a deceased family member from the old family photo albums. 3. When we see that video of Ozzy it gives us a chance to say goodbye, in a manner of speaking. 4. It helps answer questions that new viewers such as myself may have that may be tedious or time-consuming for you to have to keep going back to. The video is sad, yes, but it's important. Thank you for your time Mr. Jamison.
At 14:50 he wouldn't let you out of his area. Now that is a cool memory. I can imagine you staying with him for hours till he felt safe enough for you to leave.
Michael: I could watch your vlogs all day. That's probably what's best about them is that you're just being yourself and not putting on airs. Plus, your voice is pleasant and keeps our interest. I don't think you should delete any video that you don't want to. These videos were and are your life. Although, I still can't bring myself to watch any of Ozzy's videos yet. It's just too sad for me. Looking forward to your next vlog 👏😊!
Mom Of 5 Hi, I HAVE watched Michael's Vlogs and videos ALL DAY ! And I know what you mean about Ozzy's videos ! I also was so sad, I cried through the main two, then watched again a couple of times, and cried again ! It broke my heart ! But I'm so glad I know now. And Ozzy was such a sweet , extremely unforgettable Tiger ! He will always be in our hearts, so his memory will go on forever ! God Bless you Sweetie !! ❤
Please do not apologize! It's natural, and real. I LOVE your vlogs! I am a newer subscriber, and have been binge watching, and sharing!! I am a huge fan of Enzo and Diego! Magnificent animals you have there!!
People always love to act like they know best in the youtube comment section. Don't pay them any mind. You know Enzo and Diego in a way they will never have the opportunity to. I hope I meet my own Enzo one day, whatever species they turn out to be!
I love how you take care of your tigers i have seen so many videos of tiger being treated poorly looked up in tiny cages you clearly care alot about them i dont think tiger should be kept as pets tho but i feel like your tiger has a much better live than so many tigers in zoos
I hated to see you bring Ozzie out of the bushes only because I knew he was not coming back. I felt a tiny touch of what you must have felt. The best part is that not every situation turns out great and to understand that helps deal with life. I think you do a wonderful job with how you speak on the videos. You say what you think, express what you know and share just what it means to be the keeper of an animal like these. They are not the same as the tame kitties but for myself I have had an opportunity to learn so much about one of God's creations that I would never have a chance to do. Thank you for who you are and your willingness to share!
You are such an unique and inspiring person. Keep the videos real because people can see and feel what a wonderful, intriguing and giving person you are. Your family must be so proud of you!! And your Boys truly do love you. Your videos make my day and always keep me smiling. Except the sad sad video of Ozzys death but he was part of the family and deserves to be included in your vlogs. We will never forget the Boy who died too soon. Be good, be safe and be proud! And do some extra chuffs for the tigers on behalf of your fans. ,
Glad you left the Ozzy video up. It was one of the first ones I saw and it made me want to find more videos about him because he was absolutely amazing!!!!
I'm glad I found your channel. I love tigers!! I even have a couple of tattoos of tigers!! Ozzy and Enzo are absolutely beautiful cats. That look and seem very happy living with you!! I also love all your pictures of tigers in your house...from what I could see. I'd rather listen to someone who is real and not fake. Like you said no one is perfect. Just keep doing what you're doing. Mistakes or no mistakes I will always like your channel. It's real. Thank you for sharing your tigers with all of us. I'm REALLY glad that there is people like you that take in these big cats because some idiot(s) wanted one for a pet then they turn around and don't want them anymore because they got to big or they can't afford to feed them. My granddaughter and I went to a big cat rescue center about 45 miles away from where we live. It was truly amazing. We went during feeding time in the morning. That was awesome to see. Bless you for who you are and what you're doing!!
Housecats often make that greeting noise also, it's so subtle and soft (because of their small size) ,that most people don't notice it.....or think it's a purr......😽rrr
PaulLonden my ginger tomcat is showing the side of the feline ancestor, he makes the tiger greeting sound everytime he sees me or everytime I touch him suddenly when he’s sleeping, it’s shorter and sharper though, so cute those noises they make.
Thank you so much for letting us see you Michael ..... you are a cool looking guy. Thanks so much for sharing your animals with us. You are a really fantastic person to do what you do’
I just can say, I love what you have done with your tigers, I'm from Mexico, I don't speak a good English, nor write it accurate, but I try as you do to comunicate. Thank you for sharing us the magnificent tigers you have. And keep being such a Good guy, I didn't know the history os Ozzy, but when I see his paws the way he walked, I realize that he was not healthy, and that is what I tried to make understand other persons, because they think you have them because your pride, but No, I see you are a good man that loves life and you give them a chance to be happy. Have a nice day, and greetings to your wife.
I'm definitely gonna try the chuffing when I go to the zoo next. I love our zoo. Our animals are well taken care of and have lots of space and we even have a program called the wilds which allows animals to roam freely across a lot of acres of land and takes people through like a safari. The only animals caged are the wild cats and the African wild dogs. But even those have acres of land in their caged areas. It's amazing. I really love what you're doing. Animals are my passion. I love them all and I always am happy to see someone really taking good care of them.
Hi thanks for the comment! , where in the world are You ?and the zoo? Just practise the chuffing before going ,it gets much better after the first 30 minutes .
michael jamison I will definitely practise before hand. I live in Columbus Ohio. My zoo is the Columbus zoo and aquarium. It is considered one of the best zoos in the america at the moment.
I truly believe having a happy, healthy life with you was in the tigers best interest. You give them the love, care and attention they need and you aren't delusioned by the affection you have for them. They are beautiful, but very dangerous animals and you're fully aware of that. I commend you for taking good care of these animals, they obviously like you as much as you like them and that is important. If I were a tiger I would rather have a nice, peaceful long life with someone who treats me like family as opposed to being locked in a cramped cage behind thick bars for stupid people to gawk at. Have a lovely day sir. P.S. Don't worry about your English or editing!!! We understand you and your filming is fine. But I do recommend you make sure to put tags in the description to help promote your channel. And I think an intro would be cool :) Otherwise, record however you want to!!
*Tejas* ___That's (partly) a sensible comment.....Animals live in the "now", and are generally regarded to have no concepts of being "healthy"or "happy"......they *do* however are regarded to have a concept of making their situation as comfy as possible, most prominently ofcourse, a regular supply of food....and (if possible) spreading their genes.... From the condition his animals are in, it's obvious that "this guy" treats them with the respect as far as he's able to do.
Tejas Even if they aren't able to define it and think about it like humans, survival and being healthy are like the main goals/instincts for any animal.
Michael your English is good. Thanks for all of your videos and these vlogs are the best. You need a tripod or stack of books on a table. LoL give your arm a rest. I along with all your animals have so much respect for you. Also I say if and when you decide to start a family you'll be a great dad.
Mate, thank you for sharing all these stories with us. Im impressed with everything you do and your love for animals that is second to none. Doesnt matter what we would like, its your channel and you do what you want. If you ask people what to do, youre just gonna get a lot of different answers and youre nowhere quickly. I love every video you upload. Its such an interesting life youre leading. Honestly i dont care what you do to be able to sustain this lifestyle as long as you are an amazing animal protector. As long as youre not into kids trafficking business, youre aces in my book. You did so much good for all these animals and world is lucky to have you. Out of all people that have lots of money, youre spending it in best possible way. By caring and doing good deeds towards all these animals. If i could choose who to be in next life, i would choose you. Being surrounded by animals in a beautiful home full of love and kindness and having tigers (by far my favourite animal) too is a dream of mine and youre living it and im really glad because of it. I wish you all the best always and i would like that you live 400 years more and be by far the richest person on the planet cause you would do so much good with it. Best of luck and please pet those 2 boys for me. I love watching them. Brings me incredible joy.
I just want to say thank you for your video's...i just recently stumbled upon them...it is great what you do for these amazing animals...the love and compassion that you have for them is truly a god send...you are amazing...
Regarding my previous offer about editing advice etc, I didn't just mean editing alone, I meant SEO (Tags, Description etc etc) these things massively increase your exposure. Completely understand your wish to keep the videos simple, you aren't in it for the art of the edit, it's pure substance, that's your style :). Also thank you for sharing about Enzo and Ozzy and how they came into your life, I have always wondered.
Hi , , I felt so bad that I never responded to Your previous offer about editing ,I red it and could never find it again , and I was really looking for it but sometimes there is just too many comments so please accept my apology , I will keep it in mind !
michael jamison no worries :), if you don't already use it, I find the UA-cam creator mobile phone app to be amazing, I use it for most of my comments and analytics.
Same here hahah. I was watching a video on catnip & his one of giving it to the tigers popped up. So glad I happened to stumble across these, amazing channel!
MICHAEL I'VE BEGAN MY OWN YOU TUBE CHANNEL AND IT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT LOOKS, I DON'T YET HAVE THE EQUIPMENT AND ALL THE PROFESSIONAL STUFF I SEE YOU TUBERS USING. THANK YOU FOR BEING TRANSPARENT AND REAL AND LETTING US IN YOUR LIFE. KEEP ROCKIN' BRO.
I started watching your channel 5 years ago. That video with enzo sleeping on the couch was the first one I saw. Ever since then I've watched your videos on and off. I'd just like to say thank you and good job with the tigers. Your videos always put a smile on my face. You are putting out truly unique and interesting content. You also seem like a great individual. There's no fake personality, which is rare for youtube these days. I'm from Scandinavia as well so your videos are very different to what I'm used to.
Yes that was the first video of Enzo that went viral ,I also watched it again last week , thank You very much for Your kind words , Your comment just put a smile on my face . It is really so great to hear from people all over the world that has been watching these videos !
Thank you for sharing that amazing story! That should not have been a secret for so long. Your story, and your life is a dream for so many of us! You have nothing to apologize for!
Thank you for sharing. Just ignore haters, there are all sorts of haters everywhere, some people just simply don't understand that wild animals under certain conditions/circumstances can not be released to the wild, they aren't capable of hunting and surviving on their own . Ozzy was lucky to have you around for extra 2 happy years, or he could have been dead if you didn't took him in. Please keep on, and thank you for saving these big cats.
Michael, I adore your love and respect for the cats and how you tune into their energy. I especially loved the bit about you greeting the cat at the zoo and his reaction to you. There's a lot to learn from you that we shouldn't ever forget, like making an effort to communicate with animals on their level and having patience with them. I truly admire what you do and hope to follow in your footsteps!
Wow, I just found your video. I agree, don't ever apologize for being real. I love Enzo and Ozzy. I'm quite impressed. I look forward to watching more of your videos. This is so very precious to me. Thank you.,
Thank you. I’ve watched many of your videos and boy did I cry when Ozzie died. I couldn’t watch the video cuz Enzo was so very upset 😢. I haven’t seen any blogs about you though. I hope you do share more. So many questions! God bless you 🌹
You are very intuitive when it comes to animals! Im the same way. All I have to do is look into the animal's eyes, to know certain things about them. My friends think I'm crazy. They say Im the animal whisperer lol. My whole like has been animals and for me, how they come first. Had my circumstances worked out differently, I would have 100 acres of land for lost, abandoned, or abused fir babies. I would so much love to visit you and meet all of your animals. To lay on the ground surround by loads of animals is my stress releiver. I couldn't imagine wanting to do anything else!! I know you probably wont get to read this but im just throwing it out there 😁
Michael, here it is the middle of September 2018, and I am watching this video for the third time. For some reason I gleaned more information from this watching then I have before. I understand now more how you got Enzo, and the complete situation with Ozzy, and likely what it was it happened with Ozzy that caused his demise. You're such a great guy, and I'm glad the animals have you and Jackie. It brings tears to my eyes watching this again. I feel like I know you better now, even after all the many blogs I have watched. You've grown, and I think we've grown with you. I know I have.
Awe, im glad you got to be with the tiger's & they got to be with you , you all look happy & content to the best that's allowed, they not always safe in the wild anymore , they safe with you though yeah ! their beautiful wild cats & special , 🐾💖
keep doing the vlogs and continue being your wonderful self, never apologize and never delete ❤️ thank you for sharing about ozzy i had no idea im new to your channel and im here to stay 💕
You certainly are not a strange person for helping these tigers and giving them homes!! And all your other animals!! They obviously adore you!! There should be more people like yourself..with the understanding and respect that you also have!! Good for you
Hello from rural New Hampshire. I'm so sorry for your loss. Ozzy was lucky to have met you. I saw the other video first a wonderful memorial. I heard about you on BigCatDerek. You have a gift with animals. Peace and thank you for being there for them.
I have been a subscriber for almost a year, and I look forward to your videos. I thank you for this one, I have been wondering what happened to Ozzy, and this clears it up. A sad story for him, but his last years were the best. Thank you for taking him in, thank you for giving him his best years. Please don't delete his videos, it is an important story.
You don't have to impress anyone. Your videos are amazing. I could listen to you all day. Love all your animals and you come away and learn something from all your videos. Your better than any wildlife programmes. Honest person keep doing what your doing we all love your videos.
I am gradually becoming hooked on your videos. I used to make videos too, so I understand how it feels to have trouble speaking while the record button is on. I thought you did fine. Please keep making your wonderful videos.
You are truly a very genuine person and very intelligent. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your extraordinary life with these beautiful tigers to those of us with pretty ordinary lives. It's fascinating Michael. Great job and keep up the vlogs, all the best.👌👍
Michael... you are a genuine Light Worker, and Enzo, Ozzy, and Diego were destined to enter your life. You are all connected by love and light. God bless you.
Michael...you're a wonderful and caring person. I share your love for animals. I enjoy all your videos. Thank you so much. Your animals feel the love . That why they respond so gently to you. Your the tiger whisperer!
Considering how some people treat tigers and other wildlife once they take them on as pets I see their enclosure and I see how you are with them how they respond to you and I think that they are very very lucky to have you thank you for being good to your animals.
Michael, please don't delete the Ozzy video because I found it very beautiful and educational, even with your discovery of Ozzy's body in the bushes. Death is a part of life and there should be no shame or fear of seeing it.
Poor ozzy. At least he had a human that loved and adored him.

Agreed.

He is not the others who always scream like they were in the jungle
@Ang he loves them and looks after them that is all one can ask
Which is really cool considering Michael actually has so much he could flaunt, but he doesn't, because why would he need to? Man's got all he wants.
Your tigers have more room than any zoo's I've been to.
I agree
Definitely and that’s pretty sad cause zoos have a lot of money 💔
You said it! Talk about some zoos in poor countries they keep wild animals in little cage you can't even walk 10 steps there, it's horrible so that animals are extreme angry, zoo is just a buisness and zero animal rights...

You made me cry when you said "2 good years is better than 10 bad". It sounds weird but true. Rip Ozzy ❤️💋
umm, how does that sound weird lol. Would you rather live 20 years of constant happiness, or 100 toxic and terrible years? same thing sister
i'd like to disclose, this aint hating, just my opinion!!
When I saw Ozzy was dead I almost stopped watching your videos. It was heartbreaking, but I got over it and I think you shouldn't delete any.

But he's not Chinese so it's a coincidence
My mom was born in 1974 also. That’s awesome!!!

Michael you;re a wonderful human being. this world needs more Michael Jamison's
I fully agree sir
Yes, he seems so genuine and kind.
Katka watch some of his videos he drives around neighborhoods at night leaving food for homeless animals he is kind person
Yes! The world does NEED more people like him.

You’re the only vloger I watch I never found anyone else I’m interested thank you for your videos it is relaxing watching your tigers
Thank you for the vlogs. I do have a little question about their "language"- other than when they're really angry, do the tigers use their tails to communicate? Do they convey their moods with them like a regular cat?
Please leave the video with Ozzy up. Here's why:
1. He's an important part of the tigers' and your history. He's a key figure in it.
2. I think if you take the video down it would be like trying to remove a deceased family member from the old family photo albums.
3. When we see that video of Ozzy it gives us a chance to say goodbye, in a manner of speaking.
4. It helps answer questions that new viewers such as myself may have that may be tedious or time-consuming for you to have to keep going back to.
The video is sad, yes, but it's important.
Thank you for your time Mr. Jamison.
That's what important about Ozzy you let him live on his own Accord and gave him the best life you could have gave him.
At 14:50 he wouldn't let you out of his area. Now that is a cool memory. I can imagine you staying with him for hours till he felt safe enough for you to leave.
I taught my dog the shuffing sound and we “talk” back and forth like that now! (Her shuffing is more of a snorting sound, but it works). ☺️
Michael: I could watch your vlogs all day. That's probably what's best about them is that you're just being yourself and not putting on airs. Plus, your voice is pleasant and keeps our interest. I don't think you should delete any video that you don't want to. These videos were and are your life. Although, I still can't bring myself to watch any of Ozzy's videos yet. It's just too sad for me. Looking forward to your next vlog 👏😊!
Mom Of 5 Hi, I HAVE watched Michael's Vlogs and videos ALL DAY ! And I know what you mean about Ozzy's videos ! I also was so sad, I cried through the main two, then watched again a couple of times, and cried again ! It broke my heart ! But I'm so glad I know now. And Ozzy was such a sweet , extremely unforgettable Tiger ! He will always be in our hearts, so his memory will go on forever ! God Bless you Sweetie !! ❤
You will absolutely fall in love with Ozzy and your heart will absolutely be broken.
OMFG OZZY DIED
NOOOOOO
Please do not apologize! It's natural, and real. I LOVE your vlogs! I am a newer subscriber, and have been binge watching, and sharing!! I am a huge fan of Enzo and Diego! Magnificent animals you have there!!
People always love to act like they know best in the youtube comment section. Don't pay them any mind. You know Enzo and Diego in a way they will never have the opportunity to.
I hope I meet my own Enzo one day, whatever species they turn out to be!
I love how you take care of your tigers i have seen so many videos of tiger being treated poorly looked up in tiny cages you clearly care alot about them i dont think tiger should be kept as pets tho but i feel like your tiger has a much better live than so many tigers in zoos
I hated to see you bring Ozzie out of the bushes only because I knew he was not coming back. I felt a tiny touch of what you must have felt. The best part is that not every situation turns out great and to understand that helps deal with life. I think you do a wonderful job with how you speak on the videos. You say what you think, express what you know and share just what it means to be the keeper of an animal like these. They are not the same as the tame kitties but for myself I have had an opportunity to learn so much about one of God's creations that I would never have a chance to do. Thank you for who you are and your willingness to share!
The bond and love you have between the animals and yourself is an amazing thing!!
Michael you are such a humble and kind person. I came across your channel few weeks ago and now you are my favorite UA-camr!
You are such an unique and inspiring person. Keep the videos real because people can see and feel what a wonderful, intriguing and giving person you are. Your family must be so proud of you!! And your Boys truly do love you. Your videos make my day and always keep me smiling. Except the sad sad video of Ozzys death but he was part of the family and deserves to be included in your vlogs. We will never forget the Boy who died too soon. Be good, be safe and be proud! And do some extra chuffs for the tigers on behalf of your fans.
,
Glad you left the Ozzy video up. It was one of the first ones I saw and it made me want to find more videos about him because he was absolutely amazing!!!!
I'm glad I found your channel. I love tigers!! I even have a couple of tattoos of tigers!! Ozzy and Enzo are absolutely beautiful cats. That look and seem very happy living with you!! I also love all your pictures of tigers in your house...from what I could see. I'd rather listen to someone who is real and not fake. Like you said no one is perfect. Just keep doing what you're doing. Mistakes or no mistakes I will always like your channel. It's real. Thank you for sharing your tigers with all of us. I'm REALLY glad that there is people like you that take in these big cats because some idiot(s) wanted one for a pet then they turn around and don't want them anymore because they got to big or they can't afford to feed them. My granddaughter and I went to a big cat rescue center about 45 miles away from where we live. It was truly amazing. We went during feeding time in the morning. That was awesome to see. Bless you for who you are and what you're doing!!

In case you're not awared, Michael was the one who painted those tiger paintings!He is such a great artist!😊
Housecats often make that greeting noise also, it's so subtle and soft (because of their small size) ,that most people don't notice it.....or think it's a purr......😽rrr
PaulLonden my ginger tomcat is showing the side of the feline ancestor, he makes the tiger greeting sound everytime he sees me or everytime I touch him suddenly when he’s sleeping, it’s shorter and sharper though, so cute those noises they make.
Thank you so much for letting us see you Michael ..... you are a cool looking guy. Thanks so much for sharing your animals with us. You are a really fantastic person to do what you do’
I just can say, I love what you have done with your tigers, I'm from Mexico, I don't speak a good English, nor write it accurate, but I try as you do to comunicate.
Thank you for sharing us the magnificent tigers you have.
And keep being such a Good guy, I didn't know the history os Ozzy, but when I see his paws the way he walked, I realize that he was not healthy, and that is what I tried to make understand other persons, because they think you have them because your pride, but No, I see you are a good man that loves life and you give them a chance to be happy.
Have a nice day, and greetings to your wife.
Your story is so inspiring, and so wonderful the work you've done. I think you carrying Ozzy around helped him heal faster. You are an amazing person!
I'm definitely gonna try the chuffing when I go to the zoo next. I love our zoo. Our animals are well taken care of and have lots of space and we even have a program called the wilds which allows animals to roam freely across a lot of acres of land and takes people through like a safari. The only animals caged are the wild cats and the African wild dogs. But even those have acres of land in their caged areas. It's amazing. I really love what you're doing. Animals are my passion. I love them all and I always am happy to see someone really taking good care of them.
Hi thanks for the comment! , where in the world are You ?and the zoo? Just practise the chuffing before going ,it gets much better after the first 30 minutes .
michael jamison I will definitely practise before hand. I live in Columbus Ohio. My zoo is the Columbus zoo and aquarium. It is considered one of the best zoos in the america at the moment.
AnxiousAndAnnoyed i wanna try to do the chuffing but i dont think i can get it down
You are marvelous, as far as your articulation and annunciation, I find you refreshing and delightful. Thanks Micheal.
Loved hearing about Ozzy... I miss him. I'm so glad you gave him a second chance at life and he was able to eat regularly and have a fulfilling life
You got Enzo because you put it out in the universe. You knew something was good was going to come out of it and it did.
These vlogs are really a good idea Michael! Keep up the good work, we love what you do for your animals!
I truly believe having a happy, healthy life with you was in the tigers best interest. You give them the love, care and attention they need and you aren't delusioned by the affection you have for them. They are beautiful, but very dangerous animals and you're fully aware of that. I commend you for taking good care of these animals, they obviously like you as much as you like them and that is important. If I were a tiger I would rather have a nice, peaceful long life with someone who treats me like family as opposed to being locked in a cramped cage behind thick bars for stupid people to gawk at. Have a lovely day sir.
P.S. Don't worry about your English or editing!!! We understand you and your filming is fine. But I do recommend you make sure to put tags in the description to help promote your channel. And I think an intro would be cool :) Otherwise, record however you want to!!
*Tejas* ___That's (partly) a sensible comment.....Animals live in the "now", and are generally regarded to have no concepts of being "healthy"or "happy"......they *do* however are regarded to have a concept of making their situation as comfy as possible, most prominently ofcourse, a regular supply of food....and (if possible) spreading their genes....
From the condition his animals are in, it's obvious that "this guy" treats them with the respect as far as he's able to do.
Tejas if you actually believe that, I pity you.
Tejas Even if they aren't able to define it and think about it like humans, survival and being healthy are like the main goals/instincts for any animal.
Getting an video editor might be better
You are amazing. What a beautiful big heart you have to give so much love and care to all these gorgeous animals.
You have a beautiful life & spirit. Thank you for inviting us in. Ciao
I love your Fur Babies!!!
Michael your English is good. Thanks for all of your videos and these vlogs are the best. You need a tripod or stack of books on a table. LoL give your arm a rest. I along with all your animals have so much respect for you. Also I say if and when you decide to start a family you'll be a great dad.
I think he already is a dad!
Mate, thank you for sharing all these stories with us.
Im impressed with everything you do and your love for animals that is second to none.
Doesnt matter what we would like, its your channel and you do what you want. If you ask people what to do, youre just gonna get a lot of different answers and youre nowhere quickly.
I love every video you upload. Its such an interesting life youre leading. Honestly i dont care what you do to be able to sustain this lifestyle as long as you are an amazing animal protector. As long as youre not into kids trafficking business, youre aces in my book. You did so much good for all these animals and world is lucky to have you.
Out of all people that have lots of money, youre spending it in best possible way. By caring and doing good deeds towards all these animals.
If i could choose who to be in next life, i would choose you. Being surrounded by animals in a beautiful home full of love and kindness and having tigers (by far my favourite animal) too is a dream of mine and youre living it and im really glad because of it.
I wish you all the best always and i would like that you live 400 years more and be by far the richest person on the planet cause you would do so much good with it.
Best of luck and please pet those 2 boys for me. I love watching them. Brings me incredible joy.
Michael you are a true inspiration to me man, thanks for being born.
We love you just the way you are Michael ❤️your an awesome ,loving person
God bless you for helping that tiger.🙏🏾💕
its awesome getting to see the real behind the TIGER man hahaha
I just want to say thank you for your video's...i just recently stumbled upon them...it is great what you do for these amazing animals...the love and compassion that you have for them is truly a god send...you are amazing...
Regarding my previous offer about editing advice etc, I didn't just mean editing alone, I meant SEO (Tags, Description etc etc) these things massively increase your exposure.
Completely understand your wish to keep the videos simple, you aren't in it for the art of the edit, it's pure substance, that's your style :).
Also thank you for sharing about Enzo and Ozzy and how they came into your life, I have always wondered.
Hi , , I felt so bad that I never responded to Your previous offer about editing ,I red it and could never find it again , and I was really looking for it but sometimes there is just too many comments so please accept my apology , I will keep it in mind !
michael jamison no worries :), if you don't already use it, I find the UA-cam creator mobile phone app to be amazing, I use it for most of my comments and analytics.
I think they are perfect the way they are.
Xaine's World editing is for tryhards
Same here hahah. I was watching a video on catnip & his one of giving it to the tigers popped up. So glad I happened to stumble across these, amazing channel!
MICHAEL I'VE BEGAN MY OWN YOU TUBE CHANNEL AND IT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT LOOKS, I DON'T YET HAVE THE EQUIPMENT AND ALL THE PROFESSIONAL STUFF I SEE YOU TUBERS USING. THANK YOU FOR BEING TRANSPARENT AND REAL AND LETTING US IN YOUR LIFE. KEEP ROCKIN' BRO.
I love all of your 🐅 videos.Please don't ever stop making them.They make my day brighter.Thank u!
I started watching your channel 5 years ago. That video with enzo sleeping on the couch was the first one I saw. Ever since then I've watched your videos on and off.
I'd just like to say thank you and good job with the tigers. Your videos always put a smile on my face. You are putting out truly unique and interesting content. You also seem like a great individual. There's no fake personality, which is rare for youtube these days. I'm from Scandinavia as well so your videos are very different to what I'm used to.
Yes that was the first video of Enzo that went viral ,I also watched it again last week , thank You very much for Your kind words , Your comment just put a smile on my face . It is really so great to hear from people all over the world that has been watching these videos !
@@michaeljamisontigers
I have been wondering about, what was the very first video you ever posted? Can you remember? 😀🥰
Thank you for sharing that amazing story! That should not have been a secret for so long. Your story, and your life is a dream for so many of us! You have nothing to apologize for!
Thank you for sharing. Just ignore haters, there are all sorts of haters everywhere, some people just simply don't understand that wild animals under certain conditions/circumstances can not be released to the wild, they aren't capable of hunting and surviving on their own . Ozzy was lucky to have you around for extra 2 happy years, or he could have been dead if you didn't took him in.
Please keep on, and thank you for saving these big cats.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful animals and your stories!
God bless you, Michael. I love your channel, you are the best. Your channel has touched my heart in a way that I will never forget.
Michael, I adore your love and respect for the cats and how you tune into their energy. I especially loved the bit about you greeting the cat at the zoo and his reaction to you. There's a lot to learn from you that we shouldn't ever forget, like making an effort to communicate with animals on their level and having patience with them. I truly admire what you do and hope to follow in your footsteps!
I never realized how much space u have for these beautiful animals :)
Wow, I just found your video. I agree, don't ever apologize for being real. I love Enzo and Ozzy. I'm quite impressed. I look forward to watching more of your videos. This is so very precious to me. Thank you.,
Thank you. I’ve watched many of your videos and boy did I cry when Ozzie died. I couldn’t watch the video cuz Enzo was so very upset 😢. I haven’t seen any blogs about you though. I hope you do share more. So many questions! God bless you 🌹
You are very intuitive when it comes to animals! Im the same way. All I have to do is look into the animal's eyes, to know certain things about them. My friends think I'm crazy. They say Im the animal whisperer lol. My whole like has been animals and for me, how they come first. Had my circumstances worked out differently, I would have 100 acres of land for lost, abandoned, or abused fir babies. I would so much love to visit you and meet all of your animals. To lay on the ground surround by loads of animals is my stress releiver. I couldn't imagine wanting to do anything else!! I know you probably wont get to read this but im just throwing it out there 😁
That's the noise I make when I go up the stairs at the end of a busy day, so the first time I heard you chuff at your tigers I had a good laugh! 😆
Thank you for saving them, Michael❤❤❤Thank you for giving two years good memories to Ozzy🐯 I really love your vlogs!
I really miss Ozzy.... he was such a little angel.
Thank you... thank you! Thank you for being the soul that you are.
Michael, here it is the middle of September 2018, and I am watching this video for the third time. For some reason I gleaned more information from this watching then I have before. I understand now more how you got Enzo, and the complete situation with Ozzy, and likely what it was it happened with Ozzy that caused his demise. You're such a great guy, and I'm glad the animals have you and Jackie. It brings tears to my eyes watching this again. I feel like I know you better now, even after all the many blogs I have watched. You've grown, and I think we've grown with you. I know I have.
Awe, im glad you got to be with the tiger's & they got to be with you , you all look happy & content to the best that's allowed, they not always safe in the wild anymore , they safe with you though yeah ! their beautiful wild cats & special , 🐾💖
keep doing the vlogs and continue being your wonderful self, never apologize and never delete ❤️
thank you for sharing about ozzy i had no idea im new to your channel and im here to stay 💕
I love this UA-cam channel keep being strong
R.i.p Ozzy ❤❤
Thank you for sharing the story. Sorry about Ozzy, but thank you for taking him in and caring for him.
You certainly are not a strange person for helping these tigers and giving them homes!! And all your other animals!! They obviously adore you!! There should be more people like yourself..with the understanding and respect that you also have!! Good for you
Hello from rural New Hampshire. I'm so sorry for your loss. Ozzy was lucky to have met you. I saw the other video first a wonderful memorial. I heard about you on BigCatDerek. You have a gift with animals. Peace and thank you for being there for them.
You are a lovely human to care for all these beautiful animals. The world needs more animal saviours, thank you.
Michael, you are such a cool caring person, you will be a wonderful dad for your children.
I love your videos, I've been watching them for years now. You're a great guy Michael. Keep up the good work
Thank you for sharing that. I'm going to practice my shuffing.
I have been a subscriber for almost a year, and I look forward to your videos. I thank you for this one, I have been wondering what happened to Ozzy, and this clears it up. A sad story for him, but his last years were the best. Thank you for taking him in, thank you for giving him his best years. Please don't delete his videos, it is an important story.
No apologies. You're a natural, wonderful person. Only you-Tuber I follow. No seeing Ozzy's story us the cycle ic life. Sad but true.
You don't have to impress anyone. Your videos are amazing. I could listen to you all day. Love all your animals and you come away and learn something from all your videos. Your better than any wildlife programmes. Honest person keep doing what your doing we all love your videos.
I am gradually becoming hooked on your videos. I used to make videos too, so I understand how it feels to have trouble speaking while the record button is on. I thought you did fine. Please keep making your wonderful videos.
You are truly a very genuine person and very intelligent. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your extraordinary life with these beautiful tigers to those of us with pretty ordinary lives. It's fascinating Michael. Great job and keep up the vlogs, all the best.👌👍
I could listen to you all day.
Brandy Hart same
You are a fantastic person. I wish there were people like yourself.
Thank you so very very much for sharing your time with your beautiful animals. I learn so much. I think you are a very knowledgeable & kind person.
Michael... you are a genuine Light Worker, and Enzo, Ozzy, and Diego were destined to enter your life. You are all connected by love and light. God bless you.
I love your channel. I'm new and just subscribed. I binge watch your channels. God bless you and your animals. 💕💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. Love it here!!😁
Also, having an owl around is a symbol of the end/death of something or change. Yes, I would agree that Ozzy is back ❤️
Michael...you're a wonderful and caring person. I share your love for animals. I enjoy all your videos. Thank you so much. Your animals feel the love . That why they respond so gently to you. Your the tiger whisperer!
I really appreciate and enjoy your running commentary as you interact with your animals.
Considering how some people treat tigers and other wildlife once they take them on as pets I see their enclosure and I see how you are with them how they respond to you and I think that they are very very lucky to have you thank you for being good to your animals.
Beautiful and passionate story.. very nice and inspiring
Michael, please don't delete the Ozzy video because I found it very beautiful and educational, even with your discovery of Ozzy's body in the bushes. Death is a part of life and there should be no shame or fear of seeing it.
God bless you for looking after these animals x
