    The part about not listening to the internet really speaks to me as a service dog handler.

    Cat nerd here! 🤓 Cats are crepuscular, which means they're more active during dusk and dawn. It's due to the fact that cats pretty much all come from very hot countries, so dusk and dawn were the coolest time of the day to hunt. It's also why their eyes are the way they are. I wouldn't worry about the fighting too much, unless it gets aggressive, Linguo is just probably telling him who's boss. 😂😂

    One of my cats is also incredibly vocal and will walk around meowing around the apartment. A lot of the time all she wants is to know where I am so I'll call her, she'll run over to see I'm where I called from, then will calm down and go about her business.

    Every cat is an individual, and while general advice can be helpful, it's mostly about learning what works for your cat's personality - like you've done!
    Some cats are just really talkative, my friend's cat SCREAMS constantly just because that's who he is. My soul cat Layney was a chatterbox, she talked so much I'd get upset with her at first, but I got used to it as time went on and now I miss her unrelenting meows (she passed away in 2021).

  • @FreiesRadikales
    @FreiesRadikales 15 годин тому +7

    The good thing is: cats are very adaptable. My cat is 12 years old, she recently and unintentionally learned the "super cute whispery meow" to get what she wants. And just like you said - every few months they'll try doing the stuff they're not allowed JUST IN CASE.
    For me this helped a lot: ignore unwanted behaviour but make sure they know what they're not allowed (stretching the sofa) worth clapping, codewords or the dad-voice - of course something uninvasive that the cat doesn't like. Screaming in the hallway mostly is for attention - so making a lot of unintentional trips to the fridge or whatever while ignoring the cat helped for me. Spoiling them for wanted behaviour (less screaming and such 😅) is also key, ether with food (have you tried tuna?), cuddles or something to play.
    Long story short: uninvasive conditioning, also time and building trust. From afar your two babies look perfectly happy together ❤❤❤
    Lots of love!

    My first two cats have been together for going on 10 years. They still do not like each other. The hiss when they pass each other in the hallway. So, you are quite fortunate they your cats get along.
    End of 2023, we acquired a Lab puppy (8 weeks old). September was the 3rd cat, an 8 week old kitten that came from a bad situation. He is orange. Vocal! He will look at me and just scream. 🤣 He plays fetch extremely well. Plus, he became fast friends with the Lab. They are young enough to grow up together. The Small Terror is nothing like my Girls. He is chaos and mischief in a ball of fur.
    I did have a moment or two with both the Beast and the Tiny Terror when I regretted my decisions. It’s an adjustment,; but well worth it.

    Sorry, I'm commenting so much, but yeah, it's really good that they're getting along so well and as long as they're not taking their claws out, that's fine and even if they do every once in a while, it's probably a learning thing, because Lindo is older and she is gonna show globex. What he can actually get away with.

    If you want to protect your furniture, but also not go through the barbaric process (that should be illegal, maybe it is there) of declawing, you can use the Soft Paws products. They're little silicone caps that you glue onto his claws. They're adorable and they shed naturally when the claw sheds it outer layer. You can mix and max colors, do holiday themes, etc. They're a fantastic way to product your furniture and give him a bit of bling too. Note: I am not affiliated with Soft Paws, I just like their product and have had great success with it.

      @bonitam.7921 26 хвилин тому

      Can‘t believe such a thing as declawing even exists. Another thing which I hate humans for. When they fail, animals have to suffer. And even the silicone caps seem like nonsense to me, won‘t they simply bite it off? They must feel and see them as annoying, don‘t they? Provide enough scratching material and play with your cat, that‘ll help for the most part and most of the behavioral issues.

    I’m all for talking to and letting my 3 cats know what’s happening. I explain when I’m going out and approximately how long I’ll be gone. They have their favourite places to sleep and making sure that they all have their own space. For me communication is key. One of my boys, Monty, gets very anxious and is incredibly sensitive so I try to give him lots of reassurance. My other 2 who are brother and sister, Kylo and Daisy have a loving yet at times confrontational relationship, typical siblings. Discovering their individual quirks is one of the most wonderful experiences of all. Finding what works for you and your babies takes time. You’re an amazing cat dad. 😻😻💛

    I second the orange male cat vocalness thing. My long haired orange boy was the most loud, obnoxious creature I’ve ever heard & if I ignored him he’d just get louder & louder.
    My girl cat, Wednesday, is a black short haired bob tail cat & I swear to god she was like an angsty teenager & NOTHING would work to make her stop clawing my couch other than squirting her with a spray bottle. I obviously don’t encourage physical discipline but luckily it worked after only doing it twice. (My vet actually recommended it)
    I thought I wanted a sphinx until my friends new sphinx cat had kittens. They felt like little ball sacks & it was unsettling to me lol.

    Kia Ora Roly. You are so right regarding teaching Globex indoor manners. Cats are like children they need to have boundaries. I have a wee boy called Davros & it has taken since May to literally "calm" him down. He was born in March & to begin with he was a bundle of fluffy energy. Now he is 9 months old & FINALLY starting to calm down. He is a ragdoll, Chinchilla mix. So handsome. He is a sweet, sweet boy. He says Mum yes he does & I won't hear otherwise.

The vet told me Oh he just likes talking to you and talking in general. 🤷🏻‍♀️ He's perfectly healthy. I was shooked. 🤣 He still doesn't shut up and he's a brown tabby, not orange.

    No worries Roly, this is your channel! And after you get settled in I'm sure other things will come back to the forefront. I love cats so I'm not going to complain, they're both so adorable!
    7:00 maybe he's singing and likes the sound of his voice echoing off the walls? My cat sings in the shower, and I have no clue where he got it from because I don't do that. I have a Siamese btw, so yeah, he's also a chatty catty!
    Also cats will hear other cats in the neighborhood, mine would meow out the window or under the door to the other cats in my building (kind of cute, kind of annoying)
    Oh, the sleep thing! Yeah. Sometimes they do calm down after a while/grow up a bit. My cat is now 19 and he's up every few hours because of his arthritis and it hurts if he lays down too long. So I hear you on the sleep deprivation front! I hope he calms down for you so you can do the cat snuggles soon, those are the best!
    I've heard many of my cat owning friends say that the older one will teach the younger one to behave better. I've only had one cat at a time so I can't confirm that, but have seen it with friends cats and dogs as well.
    I think you're being a great cat dad 👍😸 Thank you for sharing them with the world, I follow them on insta too, so cute! Thanks for making accounts for them!

    I want to say for all of my cats, when it comes to training for that scratch pad/posts, redirecting them with a firm but not cruel "no" worked best. When they scratch the sofa or chairs, I would say "no" and physically move them to thr appropriate place. Then I would give them pets and praise when they would use it after being moved. I've had much better luck with redirection for all of my pet cats and all the cats I worked with when I worked at shelters when I was young.
    My torti is so vocal, I named her Vox. 😆 But yeah, that makes sense. Cats ARE very social animals and when they sleep they prefer to have others with them. It gives them warmth and safety.
    My black boy I had was just like Globex. Super active at all hours and loved the sound of his own voice. 😆

    Aw, I have the same dynamic - a slightly older girl who doesn't always want to play and a younger boy who harasses her to play and can sometimes be too much and too annoying with the older girl. I got each as a baby, the younger is now 7, and even though he has calmed down, he is still definitely the instigator.
    They get along pretty well now, but they never got to the point of snuggling each other or grooming each other.
    I find cats usually "grow up" when they hit 2, he might still settle even more in the next year 😊

  • @sairhug
    @sairhug 11 годин тому

    Ooh - I feel your pain with a male ginger chatterbox! My flame-point Ragdoll x Maine Coon, Bonkie, comes under that description, and yeah it really can do your head in sometimes. I found that putting him in the furthest room from me and shutting the door for half an hour's time out would break the chat-cycle, but I'm not sure your Globi would accept that!
    The night-time thing .. I knew from the start that Bonkie, his sister and my youngest boy (a Norwegian Forest Cat) were NEVER going to be in the bedroom at night, so that was right from kittenhood when they came home at 13 weeks. There were initial protests - typical cat entitlement! - but I stood firm and used (gentle) chemical warfare against them. This consisted of the reaction to any scratch or meow at the bedroom door only ever being the following: me opening the door, completely ignoring them - no talking, no eye contact - and squirting a citrussy perfume on the door at cat height (O de Lancome ... but cheaper ones are available!). As cats find citrus offensive, this would discourage them, and it didn't take long at all to realise that their actions only got them a stinky reaction that they certainly didn't want to put their paws on. Job done.
    They know they are welcome in the bedroom during the day, though - and I think it's important for indoor cats to have the maximum amount of space available to them. Just not while I'm sleeping 🙂.
    Oh, and a daily going over with the Zoom Groom - which they love - lessens the cat hair in the environment, stopping it at the source! For the 'cat glitter' that's already escaped, apart from regular vacuuming (obvs) the Lilly Brush (just a small car detailer tool with a rubber blade) on their preferred sleeping places is *amazing* as it picks up loads of stuff even directly after using my Dyson Animal upholstery attachment. Even so, the dreaded cat hair on the face thing still sometimes happens - so irritating! Like you, though, I couldn't imagine letting mine outside, so it's something I'm more than happy to put up with.

    Treats don't always work for my adopted cat either.
    I use the "ah ah" voice when she does something she shouldn't.
    First (if i see it) I will say "Mishkah" (her name) in a certain voice as a warning. Then, as she pushes it and does the thing, I do the "ah ah" in a firmer voice. As she is a real Diva and will walk all over me if I didn't tell her not to do this and that.
    I'm setting healthy boundaries with her but I don't scream, rant and rave at her.
    I got her around the same time you got Globex and it's been a wild ride and I've owned rescue cats before. But this has been totally different this time with a female tortoiseshell. Tortoiseshells have a specific attitude that is *very* sassy and cVnty.

    Ignoring any animal that is in a new environment and it's doing something you don't want it to doesn't really make sense, as you said.
    As for Globex meowing just for the sake of it, my mum has burmese cats, and one of her cats would do the same thing just talking for the sake of it. You do get used to it, but obviously, if it affects your ability to sleep, then you need to figure out a way to minimize that either through play to tire him out or close your bedroom door as you have done.
    If you want to let them outside, you could try harness and leash training so they know that if they have their harness on, they are allowed outside with you or in their enclosure when you eventually get it. Obviously be careful during the training process that they don't decide to start darting for the door every time you try and go outside.

    There is a lot of individual cat traits. Cat training is much different to dogs. You have to do what works for you and him. I am a certified animal behaviorist but I don't know it all. My 5 yr old does not stop talking 😂😂 it does drive u u the wall. I get it. Some cats are super vocal. Kittens tend to be mega vocal cuz they r lonely. He is still considered a kitten until he is a year and a half. At one year it is helpful.

    You might want to consider investing in a couple of cat leads. They’re great for allowing your babies to run around outside but in a controlled way. The leads are very long for when you’re in a green area. Then you can get some amazing footage of them too. 🙂

    yes about listening to the internet! cats are their own creatures they will do what they want,yes you can get them to not pee everywhere, scratch thing etc but their other behaviors other side that are unique to them! my tabby rescue at is very very vocal he will shout for me at all times but it's just him! unfortunately my cat will not tolerate another kitty in the house he either gets so scared or very very aggressive, i think due to his very early days and being attacked so much in his previous house and I will not let him hurt another cat,so we are doing some training to see if he will soften and let me get him a friend.

    in my clowder of 4 the loudest is the lone ginger who is also the lone lad. he hisses at *me* but he did that the day he was born too so i don't take it personal. he's the most skittish of the litter he was born in. there's occasional hissy fits between them but that's more his mother being like "No. stahp it." to him or his sibs. his mom and auntie are the older of the group being 13 and the younger 2 being 12
    yours look really comfortable in their space

    We have 3 cats aged 17, 15 and a year old. All completely different temperaments. Lizzycat the youngest is extremely vocal. But as soon as she plays a bit or has a bit of fuss she's fine. I'm sure he'll calm down now he has a friend; Lizzycat likes trying to play with our two old ladies 😅 Our two older cats sleep with us, when he gets older he'll calm down. Jazzycat my 17 year old cat sleeps on my pillow ❤

    I've noticed the sentiment that cats 'need' to go outside or that it's important enrichment for them seems to be a little stronger in the UK than in the US? (For example, I heard recently about a UK cat rescue who refused to approve adopters who wouldn't/couldn't provide the cat with free-roaming outdoor time😬) So I hope that isn't making you feel guilty about keeping them indoors!
    My two cats are both turning 14 this spring and they've been exclusively indoors their entire lives. I tried taking them out on a leash a few times and they were horrified by grass!
    Honestly it's nice that they have zero desire to be outside because they NEVER try to escape - we don't have to be careful or ask guests to be careful not to let the cats out because the cats are fully uninterested! The bedroom is a different story - they aren't allowed in there, either, but they absolutely WILL sneak in if the humans aren't careful😂

    Roly, both of my cats are rescued ive had them both for over 7yrs, do they still bounce on me in the morning for food? Yes they think it's funny, cats are teaching you what they want, do it wrong and they will make you pay 😅😂 they are so clever. ❤

    I've had super vocal kitties too but most of the time it wasn't that bad after the kitty stage. But would yowl when food was given until he was eating. It was actually funny cuz sometimes he just wanted your attention just for your attention. He was an outdoor cat all his life.

    "Do I regret getting my cats?" Proof that there is such a thing as a silly question. Roly clearly adores Mr Globbies (aka several dozen other endearments), and then went and got another cat, just in case anyone had any doubts about the matter.
    Cat marking (and fur length, etc) preferences and rescue cats: based on my observations, it all depends upon where you live. In Australia, white cats were not all that uncommon in Adelaide and Melbourne, whereas, off the top of my head, I don't think I've seen an all-white cat all the years I've been in north Queensland. We have a lot of black cats here, and, of course, plenty of grey, silver, brown and black tabbies. We seem to have a lot of ginger cats, even females, and of course, we have a lot of cats with white paws or legs and white throats through to white throats and bellies.
    There may also be some regional variations, it's not unusual for Melbourne cats to have a "Roman" nose and quite a lot of moggy cats in north Queensland have quite harsh fur on their backs, compared to the rest of their coat or that of cats from other parts of the world.

    I think since most ppl get their cats from the cat distribution system, most cats are genetically more likely to be gluttons, since strays and ferals who are food motivated tend to survive longer than those who are picky eaters in the wild. I am assuming that both cats are from previous owners so more likely than not they didn’t have to deal with finding something to eat as well as illness, fighting, and all the other dangers that cats who have unbridled access to the outside have to face. I would recommend grtting them started on cat toothpaste if you haven’t since they will need good teeth protection and a lot of ppl don’t brush their cat’s teeth at all. As far as the cats getting annoyed with each other it makes sense since they are at different maturity levels and animals will often correct each other better than humans. And as far as correcting bad behavior, sometimes something as simple as learning to ‘speaking their language’ works for me and tends to be easy enough for them to understand. Personally I prefer adopting cats or the cat distribution system over buying cats but I still love cats just the same.

    Do have to wonder if maybe Globex might have been connected to a certain cat in his former foster home, maybe? He could be looking for them. Some cats connect with others, a friend or littermate. I have 2 pairs currently who cuddle constantly. Howie Meowie and Chloé Simone, especially. Breaking that bond would freak them out.

    All cats are different and will handle things in very different ways. My first cat Olive she really took her time getting to know me. She was 10 months old when I got her and her owner had spray-painted her pink and dumped her on the side of the road…. Needless to say she was a little traumatized. My second cat puck who is a Jedi master does his own thing he totally does….. but the biggest thing is is that they are not your pets. You are their pet….. that’s pretty much how cats see it. The spray bottle never worked on puck or olive at all. And don’t forget a nice dose of catnip once a week.

    Cats are natural hunters and solitary animals that are not as dependant on their owners as a dog etc is. As the saying goes you don't own a cat a cat ownes you. they also need alot off mental stimulation. Yes there are a few risks with allowing them to go outside but at least if they are allowed outside they can be cats. They can do what's natural for them, hunt explore etc. they can be cats. They are not the same as dogs. The only time I ever kept my cats indoors was when I first got them as they settled in and got to know their environment, smells etc, when they got neutered whilst the wounds healed and if they were under any form off vet treatment at home. Other than that they were allowed outside during the day as long as the weather was ok and they'd come back in at night and if the weather was too cold and rainy. I disagree with people forcing cats to stay indoors for no real good reason such as these type off reasons. If owners live in areas that outside is just too dangerous such as there's lots off predators like some countries have coyotes etc, or if your by a very very busy main road then I'm sorry but a cat is not the right animal for you. Your better off with an animal that is better and designed to be kept indoors which is basically any other pet animal

    20:41 cats are usually crepusular (fancy way of saying awake for dusk and dawn) but if you did wake them up more during the day they'd probably sleep through the night (maybe)
