I’ve had a number of dogs and cats that actually love chasing me around have a rough wrestler scruff up, definitely not hurting them, but certainly not just gently patting them either - cats are actually quite a strong animal, both physically and emotionally. As long as they feel safe and understand the engagement.-my current cat sweetheart every day when I am home from work we rough wrestle Chase each other around and when she’s had enough she either walked away or if I’m holding her and giving her a scruff she just gives a single meow and that’s the signal we’ve developed and we stop and have a cuddle❤

    My beautiful Tabby died a few months ago. She was 20 and I had her from the time her Mom weened her. She was a my breath of sunshine. She was never sick, she left me during her sleep.
    she was so special to me. Fortunately, 5 years ago my son gave me his cat as he was moving on. The two cats loved each other, never fighting and sharing the same food bowl Doobie my cat now is very close to me. He is around l5 years ago but I am not sure. The vet says he is very healthy and I hope to give the best life I can. I am a cat person and will always have a place in my life for a kitty who needs a home. God knew I would get lonely so He sent me my angel cats.

    Re: moving furniture - I've noticed that cats are funny, they don't like it when their environment is changed, such as moving the furniture, BUT they also get easily bored! So i try to do small harmless changes that will keep them stimulated, but not stressed. I sometimes rotate their play tower so the the openings face a different direction, or replace a hard surface with a soft one (put a blanket or pillow on it) and interestingly, changing the lighting, for example in a room that gets a lot of light I'll close the curtains, or vice versa. Cats are endlessly fascinating creatures!

    Our family loves cats and other pets ❤ . My son lives in his own flat. He has a Siberian cat called Olive. I knew Olive from the time my son bought her. Once when my son was going away on holiday, he left Olive with me in my home. At first Olive was anxious (I could imagine her feeling of abandonment) but soon Olive was coming into my bedroom and making sounds of anxiety. So I stroked her and began to play with her.soon she bonded with me and every day sought my attention. We became firmly attached. Now,when ever I visit my son’s flat,Olive greets me with purring sounds of affection.i love ❤️ her and will always visit her to solidify our relationship.x.

      You are right. A lot of cats may not worry about it, but definitely some do. We moved interstate and had three cats, one I think had a nervous breakdown. He was never the same. He went from being a friendly outgoing beautiful boy to a nervous nellie and wouldn't interact with anyone but us. It was very distressing. He was like a totally different cat. You can be all "not necessarily", but it does happen definitely.

    I have had a cat that was confused after changing furniture in my lounge... when he entered the room, he looked around and was sort of alerted and looked scared, until I talked to him and called him to come to me. Afterwards, after a change, I held him in my arms and showed him around while talking to him lovingly... he was more relaxed.

    Our feline girl and boy really are part of our family. Feeding and cuddling these trusting dependent animals is like caring for two small children, yet it's also like having best buddies to hang out with and talk to. For all the love they give (and the health benefits they're proven to provide) to us human caregivers, I couldn't imagine not giving them a safe and loving home.

    When we first got our cat Nico from a rescue he would always love to play with string then as time went on he would get bored of it faster and faster. I have bought countless toys for him to play with yet he has zero interest in them. Currently I have a feather caster and lazer pen which he sometimes goes for but not really for longer than 5 minutes then he walks off.
    When he comes in my room and meows and lays down I go to stroke him. He loves it but then moves away after about 5 minutes. I go to him and he walks away again so I leave him be.
    He has a lot of options where to sleep. He has a climbing frame with a small nook to go into. He LOVES my dad's bed when he puts a blanket on top. I turned a 1ft x2ft cardboard box upside down and made a pushable door for him with soft small mattress which he loves to hide in and I have begun work on building him a small outdoor house because when he comes home he doesn't always want to come inside straight away. He has this favourite corner he likes to chill for a bit first so I'm going to place it there for rainy days which will be raised off the ground to prevent the base rotting and getting too cold: It will be properly weather treated too : ]
    I do worry he's bored but he's always super happy once he's let outside for a few hours and when he returns he's always rolling around looking at us giving the sweetest meow so I think he is happy.
    Some cats are not that interested in playing with humans.

    Sometimes people have to move. Moving to a new home is stressful for people, too. I think my beloved cat Sweetheart was so stressed by a move that I had to make that she died by the end of the month in which we moved. She was disoriented in the new apartment, and I think the move contributed to her death. She was 16 or 17 years old. I had had her for 14 years. I still cry for her. It has been almost 3 months since she died, and though I have looked at photos of cats in nearby shelters, I haven’t yet had the strength to make the rounds of these shelters.

    I have been watching your videos about cats. And in one of the videos you asked for comments and I believe pictures of our fur babies. Well my roommate received two kittens from a friend of ours. They are her cats. But a few months after she got them, she had to travel for almost 8 months straight. So it left the cats in my care. During this time the female became pregnant. She had four kittens, one died with in three days of life. The other 3 have been growing strong. Well the female became pregnant again., which I didn't find out until a few weeks. After I had the male cat fixed. She had 5 kittens. So I went from 2 to 10 with in months. When the only male from the first litter became of age to be fixed I got him fixed. After the second litter was about a month old. My roommate came home. Then all of a sudden one of the kittens from the second litter got sick and died, by that time I had decided to make the cat's a wall of their own. A month after we lost Runtz, she decided to re-home the younger kittens. We went back to 5 cats. It was hard for me to pass over the mom roll to her when she got back , but I did. I try to stay out of the decision making with them, for a few reasons, she and I don't see eye to eye about what's best for them. Plus when I was taking care of them. I had spent my small nest egg I had to take care of them and having the males fixed. Here soon we will be going out separate ways. And not be roommates anymore. I'm not sure if where I'm going if i can have a pet or not. But I don't believe she will let me have one of them if I'm allowed. This makes me sad. We both love the cats very much. And they love us. Lately I have been noticing that one definitely of the kittens, female has been peeing in the tub, kitchen sink, the litter boxes, and on things of her's and under my bed. She doesn't have the money nor do I to take her to the veterinarian. Any ideas what the reason could be for this? I will try to send a photo of our babies. Nope doesn't look like I can.

      It sounds like you've been through a lot with those cats! Taking care of a sudden increase in the number of cats can indeed be challenging. As for the behavior of one of the kittens, urinating outside the litter box can be a sign of various issues, including stress, territorial marking, or medical problems like urinary tract infections. Since you mentioned not having the resources to take her to the vet, it's crucial to monitor her closely. You can try providing multiple litter boxes in different locations, using unscented litter, and keeping the litter boxes clean. Also, try to identify any potential stressors in her environment and address them if possible. If the behavior persists or worsens, seeking advice from a veterinarian or animal behaviorist would be best. 💜

      @@TheCuriousCatt we do have multiple litter boxes, yesterday I noticed that her sister has done the same thing, and both are in heat as well as mom. I'm glad I got the boys fixed. But yes I think it's bladder or UTI. I normally can pet their belly. Yesterday they would not have that. I think her boyfriend has been feeding them people food as well as her. I don't allow them to have people food. I have them on Iams and we jump around with the flavors. But any cat I have had in the past 15+ years has always been Iams. If we feed them anything different, we have many major problems, what would you recommend if we were to bring another brand to them to eat. ? And I should I tell her something she is doing i believe is harmful to them even though I'm not positive she is the one doing it. ? We have got into arguments almost fist fights over the cats. Thank for taking the time to read my comments.

      If it's not your cat and it looks of a good weight do NOT let it in your home or feed it. I KNOW it's tempting but it could still be someone else's cat and you will cause undue worry to the owners.
      I suspect this is what someone in our neighborhood does as rarely our cat will be gone for more than 6 hours at each release.
      If you are unsure you can always take it to a vet to see if the cat is chipped. Ours is.
      If the cat turns out to be unregistered then I guess all bets are off but there is also another thing to consider. The cat may have certain dietary requirements so certain foods or brands may not be good for them but if you see they look somewhat emaciated then sure feed them.
      *Case in point:* The vast majority of wet cat food contains a thickening agent called Cassia Gum ( a slightly different name for American brands). On most packaging it's over 2800mg. If you do feed the cat then try to feed it with one which contains around 1350mg. Cassia Gum has been linked to cancer in some cats but the studies are not exactly conclusive.
      We used to feed our cat Felix because we didn't know any better but then after I found out about Cassia Gum from Jackson Galaxy (what a LEGEND!) I started giving our cat _Sheba_ . He likes it A LOT more too. It's mid range pricing but I think you can't go cheap when it comes to pets. I once gave him _Gourmet_ which after looking at the packaging has ZERO Cassia Gum in in and quite a lot of good nutrients but that is one of the most top-tier priced foods.
      Or even better, boil some chicken (don't add anything) then cut off the tendons and mash it up with your fingers to make sure you can't feel any hard boney parts. Don't let it go too cold because the juices from the chicken will evaporate quite quickly after some 4-8 hours. Always best to feed fresh as possible. Our cat Nico won't touch dry chicken but ADORES it 5 mins after it has been cooked :D
      So it's up to you. Sorry for the overload : ]

    This kind of clear suggestions to be better friends to our feline friends is so helpful. Maybe someone has connections to vet's and ask them to send it as a tip in their newsletter. They often appreciate to receive tips that are worth sharing.
    Let's spread the word.
    I adopted Meisje in January 23. She is the funny, beautiful, loving AND free cat that chooses to live with me since then. She is 95% free to do as she likes.
    Therefore she respects my boundaries like the kitchen counter and the fact that I do not particularly enjoy receiving dead leafs and mice.
    It is so super easy to treat her with love. I get nothing but love in return.
    Bonus tip: this approach might work for your loved ones as well. And yourself ;)

  • @tenerifecats6652

    Not getting a treat immediately when it's demanding is definitely emotionally devastating to my cat. Or maybe not throwing her ball back to her the moment she brings it. (Yep, my cat is part dog because she loves playing fetch.) They hate the vacuum cleaner; so I always place it in the middle of the room for a few minutes before starting it so they have a chance to clear out before the noise starts. I love my companions; and can't imagine harming them either physically or emotionally.

    I need helpful advice. My home of 34 yrs burned due to an electrical short. I have 2 females, cinnamon 6, wicca 4 & a Tom named Silver who is a bit slow (special needs) but very affectionate with me but was very combative during his stay at the vets when he was neutered. I am very attached to all 3 of my cats and i have a border collie Dixie 7 who is my diabetes service companion. We were all able to get out safely thankfully since the fire started around 3a.m. when Dixie woke me up. None of the 6 smoke alarms performed & yes, they had fresh batteries. Dixie & i were approved to live at the nearby Womens Shelter for nearly 4 months awaiting a low income apt to be available but i couldnt take my cats. I walked 3 blocks one way everyday to feed & comfort them. I made them a shelter with thick dry straw, & self warming blankets making them as cozy & warm as i posibly could with electricity no longer available. I bought hand warmers and heated bricks wrapped in towels to keep them warm & built fires we sat around cuddling for hours. But i still feel so guilty. I have an apt now but only Dixie, as my service dog, is allowed. My cats & i are very close. Its not their fault nor mine for our predicament but i honestly dont know what else to do. I hate the thot of placing them in a shelter. Theyll think i abandoned them and its too far for me to walk to see them. And I dont think Silver would be welcome becos of his past behaviors from homesickness. Any helpful advice ould be greatly appreciated.
