It looks to me like he might have been shoving the item back up to you saying, "Hey, fix this thing so I can get the food out, you numbskull!" But you did, and he was still mad, so that was entertaining. Loved this episode with the beachy stuff you collected!
Dude, between Leon, the experimental 125 gallon tank, the kittens, and your adventures in nature. This channel has evolved into some great relaxing entertainment. Thank you for all you do for nature. I will be donating.
If I had the money I would be donating too, Honestly some of the best content on youtube, He's just sharing his life and his hobbies and it's Somehow better than every other freaking content creator
Leon’s temper tantrum was absolutely hilarious! Trying to yeet the frustrating clear object clean out of his tank then turning his back on you - surely a sign of higher intelligence.
Been following Leon’s story since he was picked up from the grocery shop! Gotta say I look forward to each and every update and can’t thank you enough for putting in so much effort to this! Clicked on the video soo fast!
I know I am one of many who says this but..... "I never though I would be fallowing a Lobster's story"... I think I came in about 2 months after he was saved, had a small number to watch back to back to catch up, but yep been here most of the time. LOL
The fact Leon understands there is an outside world from his aquarium and that he could possibly throw stuff that bothers him out of the water is astounding and shows a good bit of intelligence and situational awareness.
That is well put. To me, shellfish used to be in the same category as insects (as to "intelligence/consciousness") but now I think it is a bit more complicated (since we know that e.g. octupuses are highly intelligent, why wouldn't lobsters?) and Leon shows us that there is more than enough reason to doubt. ☺️
@@gerardoo1475 Yeah, people who think insects are dumb need to check out bee and ant colonies. There's some absolutely crazy intelligence and organisation happening as the default for some insects.
Agreed, this man has the most wonderful, reassuring energy. I'm so glad he's sharing it with some lucky animals, and giving them the best possible life. I pray he will keep precious lil' furry tripod, Jet. With his disability, he deserves a really special home. On the plus side, I believe it's better for a four legged animal to lose a back, rather than a front leg - balance is easier if they have both front legs, and they are better able to adapt to that centre of gravity.
This was fascinating. I could hardly believe it when Leon tried to throw the glass out of his aquarium and then huffed off. I don't think I ever associated temper/frustration with marine life. It was amusing as heck, but also enlightening how much we DON'T know about our world. Can't wait for your next video. Thanks!
Brady, you are amazing! Between saving and raising Leon, the kitties you saved and the beach critters, you are truly an amazing man. Your channel is so much fun to watch! And I am so amazed by Leon! Thanks for the update! ❤
Leon trying to throw that acrylic out of the tank not only shows thinking skills we were unsure of, but also personality which fascinates me. Maybe another lobster would have reacted completely differently. Thank you for keeping us updated! This brings a peaceful break to my chaos. ❤
Now you've done it. He's going to get a second lobster in another tank, and if he gets it at Christmas time he'll name it Noel, and he'll do the same observations and experiments and compare/contrast their personalities, and both crustaceans are going to survive and thrive for decades, and I'm going to spend the rest of my life watching dueling lobster videos! 😘😍😆
Yep, everyone's an individual. I had one beautiful crayfish, Sebastian, who adopted a fish as his best friend. And his predecessor ate everyone in the tank. (After Sebastian and Fish Buddy were gone) Crazy how different their personalities can be.
It's fascinating to see Leon try to throw the acrylic item out of the aquiarium, to me that shows that he has remarkable understanding not just of his environment, but where he is (that he is in an aquarium and not in the sea), and what's outside.
Wasn't that fascinating? I have to say it spooked me a little bit that he understood where his tank ended, and the outside world began - that is SMART! If I were Brady I'd keep a very close eye on Leon, he might be plotting world domination, lol!
I can’t express the calm serenity I feel watching these videos you make Brady! Your voice, the reliable music, comforting and enjoyable, your film talent, your love for animals, everything about this makes me happy to be alive!
Best wishes to Jet! I had a three-legged black cat growing up. The vet doing the surgery was so kind, telling my family: "Cats are three-legged animals born with a spare." He was right!
I wish there was a way to get Jet to Idaho (where I'm at) so could adopt him! But there's No Way I'd put that little cutie pie on a plane! 😢 But, but, but, I Love Him! 😍🥰😔
That's what an ex-boss used to tell his mother. Cats have 3 legs but the other ones they had got an extra leg. The 3-legged cat ran around with the others just the same up and down stairs.
Brady, our girl Lulabelle at the age of 13 developed cancer in her hind left leg. I was worried about how she would do. 13 years earlier Lulabelle had come to us as a stray, brought over by the large barn tom cat from the farm next door. He kept pushing her toward us. As we had hoped she would go away as we had two mature cats one of whom was very territorial. After trying to avoid taking her in one night I was sitting out on our patio and she was eating seed off of the bird tray feeder. She saw me and jumped into my lap and it was game set and match. Now 13 years later we were faced with either letting her live with the cancer as long as she could comfortably or amputating the leg. I wasn't sure about it. She was an indoor outdoor cat but everyone told me she do fine without it. She did. We brought her home from the surgery. The vet had told us to keep her in a room for the first few days by herself. We set up for her in our lowest level of the house and put up a gate to keep her in. I stayed with her but five minutes out of the carrier she had knocked the gate over and was upstairs. So much for that she lived to be 18 continued to hunt, and drove away the large tom cat from around the corner every time he came to visit. I'm sure jet will do fine.
Lulabelle certainly chose you! And what a blessing she was, God love her. Lovely post, thanks for sharing! It's always great to hear a cancer story where that horrible diagnosis wasn't the end. 18 is a great age for a cat. Our last surviving cat, a female tortoiseshell called Poppy, turns 18 in early November (please God), Aside from an over active thyroid, for which she has daily medicine (and inevitably, bad teeth), she's in fine fettle, without any evidence of elderly ailments like arthritis. We believe her good health is due to her feral origins - we found her and her brother Tiger at just a few days old, in the 8ft tall dovecot in our garden. They weren't born in there - we later realised their mother had somehow managed to jump up there from the shed roof, with each kitten in her mouth, when rain made their first den on the ground unsafe. It was an incredible feat of athleticism, and so soon after giving birth too! I'm glad to say we caught, neutered and released Mama cat, who was sadly too wild to be adopted. Poppy is a lifelong home bird, who never wanders more than a few feet from the back door to smell the flowers. Her brother however had the typical male wanderlust (despite being neutered). Adopted by a family member, he was much loved, and tragically run over and killed on a road while venturing miles from home, aged 7. Sadly we lost our other cat Tommy earlier this year, aged 15. The first sign there was anything wrong, was that he went off his food. When we took him to the vet they said he was suffering from heart failure, put him in an oxygen tent for the day, and gave him diuretics to clear fluid from his lungs. We were thankful to bring him home, but the vet warned us he was a good age for such a big cat, and we should prepare for the worst. He had a final, quiet 2 weeks with us, eating less than usual, and rarely venturing outside as he had before - he didn't attempt the steep garden steps any more. Early one morning I found him laid out on the hearthrug, like he was asleep. Somehow I knew right away he had left us. I stroked his beautiful grey fur, told him we loved him, and thanked him for being our boy. Saying goodbye to beloved companions is so hard, but what joy they give us while they are here! Take care. XXX
@glamdolly30 sorry to hear about your loss. When we lost Lulabelle we thought we would go a while without perhaps a year or two but with each passing month it got harder and then COVID hit. Today we have two brothers who are rescues. They are great but we will always miss her as well as the others that came before her.
@@MLampner Thank you for your kind words. How lovely to hear you opened your hearts and home to two more homeless souls. That's the thing about love, it doesn't diminish for giving it away, it multiplies! What a fitting tribute to sweet Lulabelle and all your previous furry friends, your latest beloved companions are.
Holy shit, your editing / story-telling just keeps getting better. The premise of Leon was genius to begin with, but you've really taken it up 100 notches and flourished as a story telling videographer even throwing in little tidbits of what we can look forward to next episode. Maybe, if you get a bigger tank, it might be cool to save another lobster and get Leon a friend? I just googled if lobsters are sociable: _"Lobsters are social creatures. Similarly to dolphins, lobsters create social relationships and explore their natural surroundings using complicated signals."_ That would be interesting. Anyway, well done Brady, really enjoying the channel.
I absolutly adore that the theme of this channel has become "life thrives." Leon, the cats, nature at the abandoned houses you visit, the crabs, everything thrives and survives.
I had a cat growing up that got caught in a hay mower. She spent 3 weeks at the vets getting toes amputated and ended up with a rather bum foot. But she outlived the vet. He said she would never climb another tree either. But she did the minute she was let outside. I had her for 19 years. Jet will adjust to not having 4 legs. The younger they are, the better they adapt.
I love seeing how Leon is thriving and even though I’m not a cat person I’m quickly falling in love with Jet. I sincerely hope and pray he has a good outcome. Good vibes from Australia. ❤️❤️❤️
It still blows me away that this journey started with you showing compassion for a grocery store lobster. I’m super glad to see him doing well and can’t wait to see more adventures of Leon.
This was my favorite episode(besides the first)! Leon, the kittens, the beach and the 🦀. What could be better? I live in N Illinois so I don’t get to see the ocean. Thank you for bringing us along, Brady!
thank you for a brilliant channel, Brandy. You make viewing youtube a joy and show that lobsters are living breathing and beautiful creatures. Thank you for rescuing him and sharing his life with us. Much respect- Kenny
A nice old couple found a kitten on the road 18 years ago, back leg shattered. My vet amputated, and he immediately perked up in life and just did SO well for 16 years with me, he was SUCH a funny character. He was even able to jump onto my counters!! I hope Jet does just as well!
It’s really good that you’re trying new things with Leon to keep him entertained. In the animal keeping world we call this “Enrichment” and it’s basically changing up the animals environment or how it gets its instead of just putting it in front of them. It’s been proven that it really contributes to the animals welfare and health overall and is especially crucial for intelligent animals in captivity because it keeps their minds engaged so they become bored or even depressed. Leon seems very happy in his environment and you’re doing an amazing job in keeping him entertained and healthy!
As someone who takes care of 9 cats and a couple feral colonies, i really appreciate you helping the kittens. But the mama cat tnr really warmed my heart...you gave her an easier, kitten free life and a better chance of survival❤ Love this sweet wholesale content!
I think Leon tried to throw the glass out because he knows you can get the food out for him! Alternatively, he could have just been so annoyed and so frustrated that he was actually throwing it in anger lol Either way, very interesting, and thanks for sharing 😁
its mindblowing to me that even something as small and supposedly insentient as the crab and glass shrimp can adjust to being fed by a human as if they understand.
Wow, I feel like Leon was trying to ask for your help with the third challenge, Brady!! He became frustrated and tried to put it in the place where he knows you can get to it, out of the water! That's how it looked to me anyway, like he was saying "here, dude, YOU fix it!"
Who guessed your video would end on a heartbreaking note? Not I. But I am comforted on the fact that all your animals are in caring hands. Thank you, Brady.
"Our world is filled with so much beauty and amazement. But it's also filled with hurt and pain and unfairness and inequality." Beautiful statement. I hope Lil kitty does okay.
I’m sure glad you got Jet before the leg issue happened. That would have not ended well for him in the wild. I was also wondering what happened with the pregnant glass shrimp so I was happy to see the update on her and the babies. The little crab you found in the aquarium sure is a survivor. I’m interested to see what happens with all the baby shrimp though. I have to say that each of your videos is so interesting and the content is varied enough to keep my attention. Love this channel and all you do for the less fortunate critters out there. Leon is the ⭐️ most of all.
I am learning so much from Leon! I would never have thought lobsters were that intelligent. It amazes me how self aware he is. I am convinced he figured out that he couldn't get the shrimp out of the container, so he was trying to return it to you so you could fix the problem for him.
I love these updates. I never miss one. You've always got a lot to show us with Leon and all his friends. Thank you so much for taking care of Jet and his family.
Animals have a strange relationship with glass and clear surfaces. Every chameleon I've owned knows that it's a barrier and yet, through the power of optimism and magical thinking, they think they can catch flies on the opposite sides of windows. Cleaning dried-on tongue marks off of glass is harder than it looks. I live downriver from the port of Tilbury and I love watching the big container ships plying up and down the deep channel, and tracking their progress online. The Hyundai Respect in this video is currently in Taiwan. Good luck to Jet and commiserations to Leon. Plumbing obviously isn't his vocation.
Not only is Leon smart, he has GREAT timing! I really needed to get out of my own head for a little while and just like that, a new video from Brady & Leon pops up! Fascinating & therapeutic as always. I think you will find that Jet will really blossom once that leg is gone. They adapt way better than we do in a situation like that. Thank you for sharing your fascinating world with all of us. Its like therapy but way better for me & im betting it is for others too. Thank you for being a positive light in the world. It means more than you know ❤❤❤❤
I never thought about lobster enrichment activities before! Google is a trove of ideas! The Shedd aquarium has some creative puzzle feeders for their lobsters!
Thank you for saving and caring for these beautiful kittens, and Leon too! You have a heart of gold, and we love watching your videos. Looking forward to seeing Jet and his recovery.
It is wonderful that you area has a TNR program! As you pointed out, not as great as a home, or even a barn / shop, but it will keep her healthier as she won't be constantly being chased by toms or having to feed and protect kittens. Wish more people would push spay / neuter programs.
Sad to hear black cats are considered unlucky in the US. As a (Uk) cat-lover and re-homer for 40+ years the black cats I have been fortunate to share my home with have all shown extra sparks of intelligence and affection. Wonderful companions.
Agreed, it would never occur to me to think any animal is 'unlucky' for any reason, least of all the colour of its fur. Racism for pets! People are crazy.
This world needs more people like Brady in it. You are so amazing and I personally thank you for taking in those poor kitty's. they are so sweet. I myself have three rescue cats. I get how rewarding it is. I have been doing it my whole adult life.😻😻😻
As a current college student studying Zoology, as well as someone who just loves animals in general, I'm always super excited to see one of your videos posted. It's so interesting to observe Leon & all the other animals that I've come to love in your aquariums!
We had to TNR a stray mother cat who had 6 kittens at the place where my parents work. The mom is actually really sweet and even tried to encourage her kittens to come up to us when we’d spend time with her even tho they were shy. She’s a Tortoiseshell and the community just calls her “Mama Kitty” and everyone knows who she is and loves her. We managed to trap all 6 kittens and mama and took them to a rehab facility where they could be fixed and potentially find good homes. We eventually had to take back mama and one of her kittens back because they deemed the kitten too feral to be adopted. Mama cat and her daughter still hang around where my parents work after 2 years and we feed them every day and the daughter is finally starting to warm up to us. We would take them, but we already have 2 cats and 3 dogs at home and that’s about as many as we can take. Maybe one day we’ll find them both home, who knows.
This comment hits near and dear to my heart. We had a small colony of feral kitties where I live. One beautiful gray girl, two gorgeous dilute tortoise shells, and a lusciously soft midnight black girl. Midnight was the first to adopt me. About a day after I adopted a puppy little Midnight came running up to us and decided that my puppy was her new best friend. It was clear she was in heat, too. And probably pregnant already. She was so young this would be her first litter, I was sure. Not long after I met Midnight my neighbor texted me excitedly to say that a beautiful long hair tortoise shell had just walked into her home. My neighbor said her name would be Fluffy. And she would be having kittens soon. The next day, another text. Fluffy was having her kittens!!! I rushed right over. Of the 3 beautiful babies born only Echo survived. Almost completely white with patches of dilute calico in her lusciously soft long fur. I asked if I could have little Echo when she was ready. My neighbor happily said that I could. And then there was Spot, a gorgeous short haired tortoise shell. Only she wasn't gorgeous yet. She was badly malnourished with very thin fur. I made it my goal to help her with that. She very quickly became tame. A few weeks later another excited text. Spot has babies, too!!! She just brought one inside!!! I was so excited!!! I knew that Echo would need someone her age if she was to successfully join my home. But my neighbor immediately said that she wanted this kitten. His name would be Spunky. I asked if Spot brought any more could I have the next one, please? My neighbor of course said yes. Another text. Spot just brought a 2nd kitten!!! Woo, hoo!!! A little gray tuxedo girl, almost identical to her brother, Spunky. Perfect!!!Winifred would be the sister I wanted for Echo. 😊 The next day another text. Spot has three!!! A little calico crawled out from under my neighbor's bed!!! Now, how did she get under there!? No matter, Sandy was reunited with her mama and two siblings in the bathroom. Meanwhile Gray Kitty was very slowly becoming tame. She was older than Fluffy and Spot. I think she is their mom and was far shier than her daughters were. She was so afraid at first. But with time and patience she learned to trust me, too. By now Midnight was very obviously pregnant. Every day I worried about what would happen to her kittens if she had them in the wild. Fluffy and Spot both chose to trust my neighbor with their babies rather than raise them in the wild. They must have had good reason to. Midnight needed a home before she had hers. But every time I tried to get her inside my 4 year old orange and white tabby, Bunny, said no way. Midnight would need a different home. And soon. My neighbor's friend heard about fluffy and spot and their babies and said she wished she could have a pregnant mama cat, too. Perfect! Midnight is now living her best life there. Six beautiful babies were born in Midnight's new home. Five got adopted. And one little tabby will get to stay with Midnight there. Sandy, (Spot's little calico), got adopted, too. Winifred and Echo came to live with me. Spunky is happily living with my neighbor still. Gray Kitty has become quite close to me. She and Fluffy and Spot all came running whenever I'd step outside. But Gray Kitty was leary of anyone but me. And then the sad text came. My neighbor had just dropped Fluffy and Spot off at the pound. My heart sank. She had tried to take Gray Kitty too, but Gray Kitty scratched my neighbor and ran away. I had wanted to try to get all three girls spayed. I couldn't afford to do all that myself, but maybe between myself and all the neighbors who helped to feed everyone we could. But I didn't get the chance to. My neighbor said that she couldn't handle having more kittens in her home. I couldn't blame her. It had been very hard on her to raise the ones she did. But it about broke my heart to hear that Fluffy and Spot were taken to the pound. Gray kitty is very fearful now. She runs now if I reach a hand out to her or call her name. Anything that reminds her of those moments where her daughters and friends were taken away terrifies her now. I hope I can tame Gray Kitty again. But if I can I will have to betray her trust and take her in to have her spayed. But that trip would be to my vet. And she would be gifted a break-away collar to show that she has a home. I may never be able to bring Gray Kitty inside because Bunny will probably not allow me to. But I at least want to make sure that she won't be taken to the pound. She already has a home - wherever I will be.
Leon shows very good problem solving skills. I don't blame him for giving up on the acrylic piece. Loved seeing the coastline wildlife and am looking forward to seeing how they are thriving in your other tank. Poor little Jet, but he will be fine. Thanks for your refreshing video after this terrible week.
Dude, I am so glad I stumbled onto this channel from episode 1. It's been a sweet ride. Your vibe is super cool and soothing, and you seem to have an awesome outlook on life. I hope Jet will feel better soon, and I'm sure he will in your care. Love your videos. Keep 'em coming!
Than you so much Brady. I love seeing Leon and his journey. We need more of this instead of the cruel and hate in the world. Tynan you for being such a wonderful human! ❤❤
So excited for another video in the saga! God bless your naturalist heart! Can't wait to see your ecosystem develop in the other tank. I just lost my black kitty Sweetpea to old age. Hope Jet gets better and has a positive outcome. Can't thank you enough for these videos, they are a highlight of my day when you post. Watching Leon at his "challenges" I couldn't help but imagine him thinking "so many appendages, so many choices!" 🤣
Leon is a very clever and confident lobster, with quite the personality. Your rescue kittens are lovely, and I think Jet is going to be just fine in your loving care. I love how the personalities of the small crab, and the tiny one are developing as they learn the pattern of life in the aquarium. Your closeness with Nature is a beautiful reminder that we can choose to be better.🖤🇨🇦
Leon is looking so healthy and beautiful. His colors are wonderful. I think he's got it completely now. He knows you and he thinks the games are fun until you stump him. I agree that he has emotions. Maybe they are learned from his living in this sweet habitat. Thanks for taking care of the kittens I hope Jet will be just fine after surgery.
I can't believe I'm so invested in the life of a giant bug! Leon and all the other critters must think they died and went to heaven. Can't wait to see your next update.
I actually visited Charleston a few years ago to see Fort Sumter. Beautiful city covered in flora, amazing quiet ambience in the evening, calming oil lamps. But good LORD its so freaking humid there
Love all the videos you've posted up to now, and I think it's a great idea to set up a new aquarium with all the scavengings from the beach. I can't wait to see what emaerges, I'm sure it'll be fascinating
I love the way you hang out with Leon rather than just doing the bare minimum of care. I never would have thought a lobster would have so much personality!
Would love to hear your process of choosing the background music you've used. It works extremely well with your content and was curious if you get artists offering their tracks from time to time?
there are tons of amazing tripod cats out there, if you do end up going that route. Also kittens bounce back quicker than you would think from that sort of surgery. Thank you for TNR-ing Mom, wish more people would when they find kittens
This video and your comment made me think of a couple of strays in my neighborhood and inspired me to check out the TNVR program in my area. I am surprised at just how affordable it is, with just $30 for the procedure and $10 to rent a trap. I expected a lot more considering my sis got one of her boy guinea pigs neutered for $200 about a year ago. If I see more cats, I will definitely look to see who has and who needs TNVRing!
@@nessamillikan6247 I'm so glad to hear that! Every now and then we get strays in the complex I live in so I will trap them and get them fixed. Its nice to see them around the complex after get loved on by other residents but not having to worry about them having a million kittens
If i was able, i would take the black kittens without hesitation. Unfortunately my job (long haul trucker) has already cost me my beautiful black cat Pandora. I hope you find loving homes that appreciate all 3 of the little beauties
What?! Are you seriously saying people in the US adopt black kittens less often because of superstition?! But then we're talking about the country where a large minority actually believes in creationism and even that Jesus walked with the dinosaurs.
That's exactly why some people believe black cats are evil. They see them as witches' familiars, which is stupid. Some of us think black cats are awesome, and we love them. They have amazing and unique personalities and they should be celebrated!
Helpful tip: When trapping scared cats, cover the trap with a big towel or sheet as soon as possible. It helps calm them by giving them a sense of security. You'll see when you pull the cover back, they will always retreat to the covered side for safety. Thank you so much for helping this little family💕
Yes definitely. I don’t always show the best practices in the videos because it would block any photography. I did cover the mama cat up with a blanket in the house at night, and in the ride in the car. ✌️✌️✌️

You should have a Leon merch shop too. Sell t-shirts
It looks to me like he might have been shoving the item back up to you saying, "Hey, fix this thing so I can get the food out, you numbskull!" But you did, and he was still mad, so that was entertaining. Loved this episode with the beachy stuff you collected!
How do you not know the word defiance? He turned his back in defiance. Fucking christ.

I know I am one of many who says this but..... "I never though I would be fallowing a Lobster's story"... I think I came in about 2 months after he was saved, had a small number to watch back to back to catch up, but yep been here most of the time. LOL
I barely even read the title after I saw Leon's name. My eyes were already going for his picture as I clicked to watch. 😅
same here
Me roo
(Me three!)
The fact Leon understands there is an outside world from his aquarium and that he could possibly throw stuff that bothers him out of the water is astounding and shows a good bit of intelligence and situational awareness.
That is well put.
To me, shellfish used to be in the same category as insects (as to "intelligence/consciousness") but now I think it is a bit more complicated (since we know that e.g. octupuses are highly intelligent, why wouldn't lobsters?) and Leon shows us that there is more than enough reason to doubt.

Insects are intelligent!
Hi Brady, your channel is so soothing and restful. With all the hurt happening in the world you are an oasis of peace. Thank you.
Oasis of peace is spot-on🥰
Except when his motorbike gets stolen.
@@hannable3871 you are the emoji of a dark raincloud🤡
Agreed, this man has the most wonderful, reassuring energy. I'm so glad he's sharing it with some lucky animals, and giving them the best possible life. I pray he will keep precious lil' furry tripod, Jet. With his disability, he deserves a really special home.
On the plus side, I believe it's better for a four legged animal to lose a back, rather than a front leg - balance is easier if they have both front legs, and they are better able to adapt to that centre of gravity.
For real
This was fascinating. I could hardly believe it when Leon tried to throw the glass out of his aquarium and then huffed off. I don't think I ever associated temper/frustration with marine life. It was amusing as heck, but also enlightening how much we DON'T know about our world. Can't wait for your next video. Thanks!
I love the vibes of these videos, they feel like spending time with your favorite uncle.
I feel the same way!
Mr. Rogers vibes.@@amy3458
I do too! 😊
No
Brady, you are amazing! Between saving and raising Leon, the kitties you saved and the beach critters, you are truly an amazing man. Your channel is so much fun to watch! And I am so amazed by Leon! Thanks for the update! ❤
Every Leon video makes this world a million times better.
Leon trying to throw that acrylic out of the tank not only shows thinking skills we were unsure of, but also personality which fascinates me. Maybe another lobster would have reacted completely differently. Thank you for keeping us updated! This brings a peaceful break to my chaos. ❤
Now you've done it. He's going to get a second lobster in another tank, and if he gets it at Christmas time he'll name it Noel, and he'll do the same observations and experiments and compare/contrast their personalities, and both crustaceans are going to survive and thrive for decades, and I'm going to spend the rest of my life watching dueling lobster videos! 😘😍😆
Yep, everyone's an individual. I had one beautiful crayfish, Sebastian, who adopted a fish as his best friend. And his predecessor ate everyone in the tank. (After Sebastian and Fish Buddy were gone) Crazy how different their personalities can be.
It's fascinating to see Leon try to throw the acrylic item out of the aquiarium, to me that shows that he has remarkable understanding not just of his environment, but where he is (that he is in an aquarium and not in the sea), and what's outside.
Wasn't that fascinating? I have to say it spooked me a little bit that he understood where his tank ended, and the outside world began - that is SMART! If I were Brady I'd keep a very close eye on Leon, he might be plotting world domination, lol!
i thought it was also him asking for help
@@uttacka3751I thought so, too. Like he was saying, "Um, try again, Brady. You put a broken puzzle in."
He's smarter than my hermit crabs! I've had them 7 years and they still try to climb the glass all the time.
My aunt has stopped eating lobster thanks to your videos of Leon--you and him are true ambassadors!
Time to show her farm animal videos next!
I just eat lobsters more now ngl
She Still eats shrimp and clams? Leon’s food?
Thanks for taking us to SC. The kittens are looking so cute. Leon is so funny when he tries to push the container out of the aquarium.
I can’t express the calm serenity I feel watching these videos you make Brady! Your voice, the reliable music, comforting and enjoyable, your film talent, your love for animals, everything about this makes me happy to be alive!
Best wishes to Jet! I had a three-legged black cat growing up. The vet doing the surgery was so kind, telling my family: "Cats are three-legged animals born with a spare." He was right!
Oh I love that! I will be stealing it, lol! 😸😸
My wife had a 3-legged cat named Legolas (get it?)
Poor kitty..
I wish there was a way to get Jet to Idaho (where I'm at) so could adopt him!
But there's No Way I'd put that little cutie pie on a plane! 😢
But, but, but, I Love Him! 😍🥰😔
That's what an ex-boss used to tell his mother. Cats have 3 legs but the other ones they had got an extra leg. The 3-legged cat ran around with the others just the same up and down stairs.
Brady: "Let's see what he does . . ."
Leon: "Silly human, tricks are for squids!"
😅😅😅
Brady, our girl Lulabelle at the age of 13 developed cancer in her hind left leg. I was worried about how she would do. 13 years earlier Lulabelle had come to us as a stray, brought over by the large barn tom cat from the farm next door. He kept pushing her toward us. As we had hoped she would go away as we had two mature cats one of whom was very territorial. After trying to avoid taking her in one night I was sitting out on our patio and she was eating seed off of the bird tray feeder. She saw me and jumped into my lap and it was game set and match. Now 13 years later we were faced with either letting her live with the cancer as long as she could comfortably or amputating the leg. I wasn't sure about it. She was an indoor outdoor cat but everyone told me she do fine without it. She did.
We brought her home from the surgery. The vet had told us to keep her in a room for the first few days by herself. We set up for her in our lowest level of the house and put up a gate to keep her in. I stayed with her but five minutes out of the carrier she had knocked the gate over and was upstairs. So much for that she lived to be 18 continued to hunt, and drove away the large tom cat from around the corner every time he came to visit. I'm sure jet will do fine.
Lulabelle certainly chose you! And what a blessing she was, God love her. Lovely post, thanks for sharing! It's always great to hear a cancer story where that horrible diagnosis wasn't the end. 18 is a great age for a cat.
Our last surviving cat, a female tortoiseshell called Poppy, turns 18 in early November (please God), Aside from an over active thyroid, for which she has daily medicine (and inevitably, bad teeth), she's in fine fettle, without any evidence of elderly ailments like arthritis.
We believe her good health is due to her feral origins - we found her and her brother Tiger at just a few days old, in the 8ft tall dovecot in our garden. They weren't born in there - we later realised their mother had somehow managed to jump up there from the shed roof, with each kitten in her mouth, when rain made their first den on the ground unsafe. It was an incredible feat of athleticism, and so soon after giving birth too!
I'm glad to say we caught, neutered and released Mama cat, who was sadly too wild to be adopted. Poppy is a lifelong home bird, who never wanders more than a few feet from the back door to smell the flowers. Her brother however had the typical male wanderlust (despite being neutered). Adopted by a family member, he was much loved, and tragically run over and killed on a road while venturing miles from home, aged 7.
Sadly we lost our other cat Tommy earlier this year, aged 15. The first sign there was anything wrong, was that he went off his food. When we took him to the vet they said he was suffering from heart failure, put him in an oxygen tent for the day, and gave him diuretics to clear fluid from his lungs.
We were thankful to bring him home, but the vet warned us he was a good age for such a big cat, and we should prepare for the worst. He had a final, quiet 2 weeks with us, eating less than usual, and rarely venturing outside as he had before - he didn't attempt the steep garden steps any more.
Early one morning I found him laid out on the hearthrug, like he was asleep. Somehow I knew right away he had left us. I stroked his beautiful grey fur, told him we loved him, and thanked him for being our boy. Saying goodbye to beloved companions is so hard, but what joy they give us while they are here! Take care. XXX
@glamdolly30 sorry to hear about your loss. When we lost Lulabelle we thought we would go a while without perhaps a year or two but with each passing month it got harder and then COVID hit. Today we have two brothers who are rescues. They are great but we will always miss her as well as the others that came before her.
What a ❤'ening story. Glad you took her in; both your lives became enriched as a result.
@@MLampner Thank you for your kind words. How lovely to hear you opened your hearts and home to two more homeless souls.
That's the thing about love, it doesn't diminish for giving it away, it multiplies! What a fitting tribute to sweet Lulabelle and all your previous furry friends, your latest beloved companions are.
Poor tom cat, being chased away by the very girl he found a home for 😄
Holy shit, your editing / story-telling just keeps getting better. The premise of Leon was genius to begin with, but you've really taken it up 100 notches and flourished as a story telling videographer even throwing in little tidbits of what we can look forward to next episode. Maybe, if you get a bigger tank, it might be cool to save another lobster and get Leon a friend? I just googled if lobsters are sociable: _"Lobsters are social creatures. Similarly to dolphins, lobsters create social relationships and explore their natural surroundings using complicated signals."_ That would be interesting. Anyway, well done Brady, really enjoying the channel.
I agree this is definitely Brady's best video as far as an overall story and tying everything together so beautifully.
I absolutly adore that the theme of this channel has become "life thrives." Leon, the cats, nature at the abandoned houses you visit, the crabs, everything thrives and survives.
I had a cat growing up that got caught in a hay mower. She spent 3 weeks at the vets getting toes amputated and ended up with a rather bum foot. But she outlived the vet. He said she would never climb another tree either. But she did the minute she was let outside. I had her for 19 years. Jet will adjust to not having 4 legs. The younger they are, the better they adapt.
I love seeing how Leon is thriving and even though I’m not a cat person I’m quickly falling in love with Jet. I sincerely hope and pray he has a good outcome. Good vibes from Australia. ❤️❤️❤️
It still blows me away that this journey started with you showing compassion for a grocery store lobster. I’m super glad to see him doing well and can’t wait to see more adventures of Leon.
This was my favorite episode(besides the first)! Leon, the kittens, the beach and the 🦀. What could be better? I live in N Illinois so I don’t get to see the ocean. Thank you for bringing us along, Brady!
Awesome MamaJ! Thank you for watching. ✌️✌️✌️🦞
I also live in Illinois but I used to live near the sea so these videos are like therapy
I live in British Columbia and don't get to the ocean much I loved those ocean scenes they were amazing!
Thank you for TNRing the mom. So many ppl help kittens but leave the mom in her miserable mating cycle.
Yes, so true. I’ll have an update on the mom in the next episode. ✌️✌️✌️
thank you for a brilliant channel, Brandy. You make viewing youtube a joy and show that lobsters are living breathing and beautiful creatures. Thank you for rescuing him and sharing his life with us. Much respect- Kenny
A nice old couple found a kitten on the road 18 years ago, back leg shattered. My vet amputated, and he immediately perked up in life and just did SO well for 16 years with me, he was SUCH a funny character. He was even able to jump onto my counters!! I hope Jet does just as well!
It’s really good that you’re trying new things with Leon to keep him entertained. In the animal keeping world we call this “Enrichment” and it’s basically changing up the animals environment or how it gets its instead of just putting it in front of them. It’s been proven that it really contributes to the animals welfare and health overall and is especially crucial for intelligent animals in captivity because it keeps their minds engaged so they become bored or even depressed. Leon seems very happy in his environment and you’re doing an amazing job in keeping him entertained and healthy!
He really does such a good job caring for Leon, it makes me happy to see people care for animals the way the deserve
Keeping us enriched too 😂
As someone who takes care of 9 cats and a couple feral colonies, i really appreciate you helping the kittens. But the mama cat tnr really warmed my heart...you gave her an easier, kitten free life and a better chance of survival❤
Love this sweet wholesale content!
it's amazing to see the emotions of a lobster.
Fasination over load, absolutely fantastic filming I love this channel...........
I think Leon tried to throw the glass out because he knows you can get the food out for him! Alternatively, he could have just been so annoyed and so frustrated that he was actually throwing it in anger lol Either way, very interesting, and thanks for sharing 😁
its mindblowing to me that even something as small and supposedly insentient as the crab and glass shrimp can adjust to being fed by a human as if they understand.
Wow, I feel like Leon was trying to ask for your help with the third challenge, Brady!! He became frustrated and tried to put it in the place where he knows you can get to it, out of the water! That's how it looked to me anyway, like he was saying "here, dude, YOU fix it!"
For Part 3, I expect nothing less than Leon doing a series of Sodoku’s… wishing Jet a speedy recovery! 😽
😆
There's a stray black kitty in my neighborhood that my mom and I feed and she's pretty friendly
Who guessed your video would end on a heartbreaking note? Not I. But I am comforted on the fact that all your animals are in caring hands. Thank you, Brady.
Never have I been so enamored with the observation of a lobster in all of my life ,quite entertaining ✌️
Food for thought, perhaps!!
@@Thats_Right80
Book Hisss! 😖
Super vid. Especially like the "see what develops" part.
Brady your story telling and your cinematography is wonderful.
"Our world is filled with so much beauty and amazement. But it's also filled with hurt and pain and unfairness and inequality."
Beautiful statement. I hope Lil kitty does okay.
Wasn't that great? So much truth and wisdom in Brady's videos - he is quite a guy, God bless him.
love so much this videoformat! such a peacefull piece of content
I’m sure glad you got Jet before the leg issue happened. That would have not ended well for him in the wild. I was also wondering what happened with the pregnant glass shrimp so I was happy to see the update on her and the babies. The little crab you found in the aquarium sure is a survivor. I’m interested to see what happens with all the baby shrimp though. I have to say that each of your videos is so interesting and the content is varied enough to keep my attention. Love this channel and all you do for the less fortunate critters out there. Leon is the ⭐️ most of all.
Absolutely fascinating to watch Leon living his best life up close and personal.
I am learning so much from Leon! I would never have thought lobsters were that intelligent. It amazes me how self aware he is. I am convinced he figured out that he couldn't get the shrimp out of the container, so he was trying to return it to you so you could fix the problem for him.
Thanks for the upload Brady, really glad to see how all these little guys are doing and much you've taken on. You're an inspiration
I love these updates. I never miss one. You've always got a lot to show us with Leon and all his friends. Thank you so much for taking care of Jet and his family.
Animals have a strange relationship with glass and clear surfaces. Every chameleon I've owned knows that it's a barrier and yet, through the power of optimism and magical thinking, they think they can catch flies on the opposite sides of windows. Cleaning dried-on tongue marks off of glass is harder than it looks.
I live downriver from the port of Tilbury and I love watching the big container ships plying up and down the deep channel, and tracking their progress online. The Hyundai Respect in this video is currently in Taiwan.
Good luck to Jet and commiserations to Leon. Plumbing obviously isn't his vocation.
Not only is Leon smart, he has GREAT timing! I really needed to get out of my own head for a little while and just like that, a new video from Brady & Leon pops up! Fascinating & therapeutic as always. I think you will find that Jet will really blossom once that leg is gone. They adapt way better than we do in a situation like that. Thank you for sharing your fascinating world with all of us. Its like therapy but way better for me & im betting it is for others too. Thank you for being a positive light in the world. It means more than you know ❤❤❤❤
I never thought about lobster enrichment activities before! Google is a trove of ideas! The Shedd aquarium has some creative puzzle feeders for their lobsters!
I can't afford a vacation so thank you Brady, I now feel like I've been on one. So relaxing!
🏖️
That is awesome! Thank you! ✌️✌️✌️
He hated that last item so much he really REALLY wanted to get rid of it. That was honestly sort of hilarious to watch.
Thank you for saving and caring for these beautiful kittens, and Leon too! You have a heart of gold, and we love watching your videos. Looking forward to seeing Jet and his recovery.
the filming and editing is sooo awesome, mate!
So enjoy your videos…so calming and relaxing. Thx
Love Leon and his little friends and the kittens are adorable, thank you for saving them ❤
The *leon trying to throw out the glass and cancelling it* scene is absolutly epic and a masterpiece.
that lobster may very well be older than any of us, makes sense he sometimes acts like a grumpy old man when fighting invisible containers for food
this Man is the Bob Ross of the animal kingdom, soft soothing voice, care for life and just pure love ❤️.
Is Leon throwing the container out of the aquarium to alert your attention, to get it for him?
That's pretty clever.
It is wonderful that you area has a TNR program! As you pointed out, not as great as a home, or even a barn / shop, but it will keep her healthier as she won't be constantly being chased by toms or having to feed and protect kittens. Wish more people would push spay / neuter programs.
Sad to hear black cats are considered unlucky in the US. As a (Uk) cat-lover and re-homer for 40+ years the black cats I have been fortunate to share my home with have all shown extra sparks of intelligence and affection. Wonderful companions.
Agreed, it would never occur to me to think any animal is 'unlucky' for any reason, least of all the colour of its fur. Racism for pets! People are crazy.
It’s an old myth that originated in many European cultures. Definitely not a “just US thing”.
Thanks Brady for taking care of those sweet kittens and especially for making sure their mom got spayed. ❤😺❤😺❤
It's nice to see leon doing so well he looks healthy and strong,, thanks for sharing the update on leon this thrusday...
This world needs more people like Brady in it. You are so amazing and I personally thank you for taking in those poor kitty's. they are so sweet. I myself have three rescue cats. I get how rewarding it is. I have been doing it my whole adult life.😻😻😻
It’s wonderful to see Leon growing and enjoying his environment.
I think Leon was asking for his caregiver to help him. He knows someone is feeding him. Hopefully that someone could get out the shrimp.
I'm here Leon: 1st Comment--okay, da Voice is a No Go!🤣 Luv from deb in SC🦞 10/12/2023🦞
As a current college student studying Zoology, as well as someone who just loves animals in general, I'm always super excited to see one of your videos posted. It's so interesting to observe Leon & all the other animals that I've come to love in your aquariums!
We had to TNR a stray mother cat who had 6 kittens at the place where my parents work. The mom is actually really sweet and even tried to encourage her kittens to come up to us when we’d spend time with her even tho they were shy. She’s a Tortoiseshell and the community just calls her “Mama Kitty” and everyone knows who she is and loves her. We managed to trap all 6 kittens and mama and took them to a rehab facility where they could be fixed and potentially find good homes. We eventually had to take back mama and one of her kittens back because they deemed the kitten too feral to be adopted. Mama cat and her daughter still hang around where my parents work after 2 years and we feed them every day and the daughter is finally starting to warm up to us. We would take them, but we already have 2 cats and 3 dogs at home and that’s about as many as we can take. Maybe one day we’ll find them both home, who knows.
Though they didn't find homes, I'm glad the mama cat still had one kiddo to keep her company.
We have a tortoise female named Mama Kitty also. She is already spayed & the sweetest outdoor cat.
It would be nice for someone to adopt both of them together. Please advertise for them.
Thank u for feeding them.
This comment hits near and dear to my heart. We had a small colony of feral kitties where I live. One beautiful gray girl, two gorgeous dilute tortoise shells, and a lusciously soft midnight black girl.
Midnight was the first to adopt me. About a day after I adopted a puppy little Midnight came running up to us and decided that my puppy was her new best friend. It was clear she was in heat, too. And probably pregnant already. She was so young this would be her first litter, I was sure.
Not long after I met Midnight my neighbor texted me excitedly to say that a beautiful long hair tortoise shell had just walked into her home. My neighbor said her name would be Fluffy. And she would be having kittens soon.
The next day, another text. Fluffy was having her kittens!!! I rushed right over. Of the 3 beautiful babies born only Echo survived. Almost completely white with patches of dilute calico in her lusciously soft long fur. I asked if I could have little Echo when she was ready. My neighbor happily said that I could.
And then there was Spot, a gorgeous short haired tortoise shell. Only she wasn't gorgeous yet. She was badly malnourished with very thin fur. I made it my goal to help her with that. She very quickly became tame.
A few weeks later another excited text. Spot has babies, too!!! She just brought one inside!!! I was so excited!!! I knew that Echo would need someone her age if she was to successfully join my home. But my neighbor immediately said that she wanted this kitten. His name would be Spunky. I asked if Spot brought any more could I have the next one, please? My neighbor of course said yes.
Another text. Spot just brought a 2nd kitten!!! Woo, hoo!!! A little gray tuxedo girl, almost identical to her brother, Spunky. Perfect!!!Winifred would be the sister I wanted for Echo. 😊
The next day another text. Spot has three!!! A little calico crawled out from under my neighbor's bed!!! Now, how did she get under there!? No matter, Sandy was reunited with her mama and two siblings in the bathroom.
Meanwhile Gray Kitty was very slowly becoming tame. She was older than Fluffy and Spot. I think she is their mom and was far shier than her daughters were. She was so afraid at first. But with time and patience she learned to trust me, too.
By now Midnight was very obviously pregnant. Every day I worried about what would happen to her kittens if she had them in the wild. Fluffy and Spot both chose to trust my neighbor with their babies rather than raise them in the wild. They must have had good reason to. Midnight needed a home before she had hers. But every time I tried to get her inside my 4 year old orange and white tabby, Bunny, said no way. Midnight would need a different home. And soon.
My neighbor's friend heard about fluffy and spot and their babies and said she wished she could have a pregnant mama cat, too. Perfect! Midnight is now living her best life there. Six beautiful babies were born in Midnight's new home. Five got adopted. And one little tabby will get to stay with Midnight there.
Sandy, (Spot's little calico), got adopted, too. Winifred and Echo came to live with me. Spunky is happily living with my neighbor still.
Gray Kitty has become quite close to me. She and Fluffy and Spot all came running whenever I'd step outside. But Gray Kitty was leary of anyone but me.
And then the sad text came. My neighbor had just dropped Fluffy and Spot off at the pound. My heart sank. She had tried to take Gray Kitty too, but Gray Kitty scratched my neighbor and ran away.
I had wanted to try to get all three girls spayed. I couldn't afford to do all that myself, but maybe between myself and all the neighbors who helped to feed everyone we could. But I didn't get the chance to. My neighbor said that she couldn't handle having more kittens in her home. I couldn't blame her. It had been very hard on her to raise the ones she did. But it about broke my heart to hear that Fluffy and Spot were taken to the pound.
Gray kitty is very fearful now. She runs now if I reach a hand out to her or call her name. Anything that reminds her of those moments where her daughters and friends were taken away terrifies her now.
I hope I can tame Gray Kitty again. But if I can I will have to betray her trust and take her in to have her spayed. But that trip would be to my vet. And she would be gifted a break-away collar to show that she has a home. I may never be able to bring Gray Kitty inside because Bunny will probably not allow me to. But I at least want to make sure that she won't be taken to the pound. She already has a home - wherever I will be.
@@jeric0777 I’ll sometimes spot them playing with each other in the grass. It’s so cute! 💀💀
Leon shows very good problem solving skills. I don't blame him for giving up on the acrylic piece. Loved seeing the coastline wildlife and am looking forward to seeing how they are thriving in your other tank. Poor little Jet, but he will be fine. Thanks for your refreshing video after this terrible week.
Always glad to see a notification from you Brady!! ❤
Dude, I am so glad I stumbled onto this channel from episode 1. It's been a sweet ride. Your vibe is super cool and soothing, and you seem to have an awesome outlook on life.
I hope Jet will feel better soon, and I'm sure he will in your care.
Love your videos. Keep 'em coming!
Lobsters truly are the Cats of the Sea
Along with the Octo-pussies ;)
Than you so much Brady. I love seeing Leon and his journey. We need more of this instead of the cruel and hate in the world.
Tynan you for being such a wonderful human! ❤❤
So excited for another video in the saga! God bless your naturalist heart! Can't wait to see your ecosystem develop in the other tank. I just lost my black kitty Sweetpea to old age. Hope Jet gets better and has a positive outcome. Can't thank you enough for these videos, they are a highlight of my day when you post. Watching Leon at his "challenges" I couldn't help but imagine him thinking "so many appendages, so many choices!" 🤣
Leon is a very clever and confident lobster, with quite the personality. Your rescue kittens are lovely, and I think Jet is going to be just fine in your loving care. I love how the personalities of the small crab, and the tiny one are developing as they learn the pattern of life in the aquarium. Your closeness with Nature is a beautiful reminder that we can choose to be better.🖤🇨🇦
leon🔥🗣️💯🔥🗣️
Black cats are considered lucky in Ireland! I have two of them. Thank you for all you do for wildlife. We all can, and should, do what we can to help.
Leon is looking so healthy and beautiful. His colors are wonderful. I think he's got it completely now. He knows you and he thinks the games are fun until you stump him. I agree that he has emotions. Maybe they are learned from his living in this sweet habitat.
Thanks for taking care of the kittens I hope Jet will be just fine after surgery.
Great video, loved it. Somehow missed part 1
I can't believe I'm so invested in the life of a giant bug! Leon and all the other critters must think they died and went to heaven. Can't wait to see your next update.
Not sure about the crabs, they have a gigantic bully trying to steal their lunch in their "heaven" lol
I actually visited Charleston a few years ago to see Fort Sumter. Beautiful city covered in flora, amazing quiet ambience in the evening, calming oil lamps. But good LORD its so freaking humid there
I love how you adopted those rescue kittens! Keep it up!
Wonderful video as always. It is a glimpse into another perspective of life. We need that every once in a while. Sending love
Love all the videos you've posted up to now, and I think it's a great idea to set up a new aquarium with all the scavengings from the beach. I can't wait to see what emaerges, I'm sure it'll be fascinating
For those of us with no idea about aquariums - what's the issue with anemones?
Some types can spread quickly and take over an aquarium…
@@Bradybrandwood I see thank you for the answer!
Trying to toss it out of the tank....his way of saying "hey buddy - a lil help here?" 😊
I love the way you hang out with Leon rather than just doing the bare minimum of care. I never would have thought a lobster would have so much personality!
Aside from his amazing intelligence, I also really appreciate Leon's aesthetic!
Would love to hear your process of choosing the background music you've used. It works extremely well with your content and was curious if you get artists offering their tracks from time to time?
there are tons of amazing tripod cats out there, if you do end up going that route. Also kittens bounce back quicker than you would think from that sort of surgery. Thank you for TNR-ing Mom, wish more people would when they find kittens
This video and your comment made me think of a couple of strays in my neighborhood and inspired me to check out the TNVR program in my area. I am surprised at just how affordable it is, with just $30 for the procedure and $10 to rent a trap. I expected a lot more considering my sis got one of her boy guinea pigs neutered for $200 about a year ago. If I see more cats, I will definitely look to see who has and who needs TNVRing!
@@nessamillikan6247 I'm so glad to hear that! Every now and then we get strays in the complex I live in so I will trap them and get them fixed. Its nice to see them around the complex after get loved on by other residents but not having to worry about them having a million kittens
If i was able, i would take the black kittens without hesitation.
Unfortunately my job (long haul trucker) has already cost me my beautiful black cat Pandora.
I hope you find loving homes that appreciate all 3 of the little beauties
What?! Are you seriously saying people in the US adopt black kittens less often because of superstition?! But then we're talking about the country where a large minority actually believes in creationism and even that Jesus walked with the dinosaurs.
That's exactly why some people believe black cats are evil. They see them as witches' familiars, which is stupid. Some of us think black cats are awesome, and we love them. They have amazing and unique personalities and they should be celebrated!
I think Leon have hit wit's end with the third object and was trying to give it back to you for help
I love watching your channel Brady and I love Leon. Thank you for being such a caring person.
Had no idea they sold oxygen in Lowe’s😮
Nice Brady! Your mind and soul are a gift!
Helpful tip: When trapping scared cats, cover the trap with a big towel or sheet as soon as possible. It helps calm them by giving them a sense of security. You'll see when you pull the cover back, they will always retreat to the covered side for safety. Thank you so much for helping this little family💕
Yes definitely. I don’t always show the best practices in the videos because it would block any photography. I did cover the mama cat up with a blanket in the house at night, and in the ride in the car. ✌️✌️✌️
Always look forward to yr videos. Love animals and nature so yr videos are a lil adventure\vacation for me.
