She sucked us in! Never dump your cat, adopt them out. I can pick out my neighbors cat from a bunch of look alikes. I'll never understand people who dont recognize their own cats and meows I'm always nice to other cats.
Older people might have a problem remebering what their cat looks like Of two ifentical cats did a freaky friday where you havent seen your actual cat in months i doubt youll know the difference in looks but only in behavior But alas its a game. This happens to people. And its not on purpose
The thing is, she *DID* remember, she just pretended not to because she had "Dawn 1" back again & didn't want to face the reality that she now had _two_ cats depending on her.
I got tricked once as i picked a totally black cat off the road and was sure it was mine that had been killed only to turn around crying with the dead cat in my arms to a meowing at my feet that turned out to still be alive looking up at me. It was the freakest thing ive ever seen, they were identical in every way and even tricked my 4 kids and husband too. It can happen.
Yeah, she got the cat from a no kill shelter(they said it had been there a long time, wouldn't be the case if they kill to make room), so the only reason not to bring it back is her embarrassment. I can sympathize with the rest but that one cruel act just to save face just ruins the rest.
This reminds me how I adopted my cat. She's a 10 year old, long-haired calico, and I renamed her Roxy. Her previous owner passed away, and no one wanted an old grumpy cat, so she went from sheter to shelter until she ended up at the rescue. I fell in love with her immediately. When I brought her home she hid for two weeks. I took a risk and tried to pet her, and she let me. Not only that, but she started to purr. She fell asleep next to me the next night. I've had her for two years now, and she's fat,grumpy, and demanding, but still is a cuddle bug.
My first cat that I adopted had a similar story. She had been in the shelter system since a kitten and had been returned 5 times and it was a kill shelter and it was her last day so I was kinda pressure into choosing her. She hide behind the fridge the first several days then once she warmed up she didn't trust my keeping her so would poop in my bed to test me. Once she realized she wasn't going anywhere she stopped and only used the box.
If only you'd helped an actual child who is waiting for adoption. 3/4 of animals get "adopted". But less than 1/4 of children who are waiting for adoption ever get a family. It's a sick society we live in.
I think the message of this game is to not treat cats like an easy way to fill a void or as a disposable thing when they become too much to handle, so it's a lesson in the mistakes people make in not understanding how big a responsibility a pet can really be. Idk why the cat is so restlesss - perhaps they are young and full of energy so being with an old lady who just wants a companion animal isn't mentally stimulating for Dawn, or maybethey were a rescue stray. If the game makes you mad then you are not the bad egg and that is a good thing. I also think Olive was avoiding her responsibility to her health - ignoring phone calls, staying home, pretending her health isn't giving out on her (probably because her health is literally the one thing people want to talk to her about) - and used Dawn to escape that, and Mae took the frustration of her mum dying in front of her out on Dawn, because emotional maturity isnt her strong suit. Those papers Mae was looking at were medical bills, so I assume she's watching the family estate being sucked away through those expenses which, honestly, would becovered if she went to a retirement home. Look, having dealt with old people, idk if it's different elsewhere but here in Aus they tend to wrestle with their mortality right to the very end as if ignoring the problem will make it go away and it can be a real struggle for everyone involved. Mae handled that responsibility awfully but I don't expect very many people would with the stress of running their own life and the life of a dying family member. If you can't commit to a pet for any reason, don't get one. If you are sick, seek a doctor. If you are dealing with family member who is sick or dying, speak to a therapist. Dont make the mistakes of the characters in this story.
Fr. Saying there's less cars and less dogs but does not less of other things. Just spending enough nights on the rain can make a cat sick. Then taking into account with winter comes. These cats are not true wildcats the domesticated so they got no evolution on the side to survive climate like that. And even if they find a place that they can somehow survived the elements. They must still regularly leave that safe place for food. Bringing back the danger of the elements yet again.
@@Misto_deVito6009 they are correct. The animals will basically never be able to hunt before they die of starvation or a predator or even human activity and vehicle. Plus, the game developers could atleast tell people that as a disclaimer so people don’t think animals survive each time. kids might think that then release animals out. Adults may listen to the kids if they convince them it’s okay and all that bad stuff. Edit : ignore “ two legs “ I have warrior cats autocorrect it’s driving me crazy, I have changed it now
This made me cry like the entire video, it wrecked me lol But the part that hit the most is when the old lady dropped the cat off at the woods and left. It brought back childhood trauma of the fox and the hound, when the old lady releases the fox into the wild. Dude it brought back so many sad memories of that movie lol
This video game made me sob. I love cats. Always had cats in my life. I currently have 3 beautiful cats all are rescues. I can’t imagine being without a cat.
As an automotive technician for 15 years, I have found 2 kittens in the engine compartment of 2 separate vehicles. Both were unharmed. After fostering each kitten, they were adopted by loving families. I named the kittens, Honda & Toyota. Both families decided to keep the names. Honda was completely Deaf (and loved to eat sauerkraut), but was adopted by a family who's son was Autistic. Apparently they bonded immediately and became best friends. A video of adult Honda on my channel.
@@des_got_boostmy current kitties name is p-titty bc she dark as diddy but now with what he did it makes me look at her weird bc she is a little weirdo too
Had a momma cat that liked to hide her kittens in the undercarriage of our truck. We discovered this after two ran out from under it at Wal-mart and into the willing hands of a couple of young ladies thanks to the cat distribution system. And then, after a nice date, my mom heard meowing under there from a void baby who was sitting on top of the spare tire. She managed to get him out, and checked, and back to his mom... but then about the next day, we turned the engine on and heard it meowing in terror. We popped the hood and pulled him out unharmed, deciding it might be better for him to stay indoors after that. Spooky Boy was with us for 16 years, and stayed away from engine sounds after that.
Reading the comments, the stories from all of you really do mean a lot. Sometimes it's easy to forget we're dealing with people behind the comments/screens and that everyone got stories and things that they're going through. You're all legends, unless you're like super annoying... 😉
i REALLY AND TRULY DIDNT WANT TO COMMENT, but i feel it is neccessary due to the fact that YOU talking RUINED it... for me it is just like some one talking through a movie.... DO NOT NEED, AND DEFINATELY DO NOT WANT IT.... so sorry to downvote it if youi just let let it play and keep quite and let the soothing sounds of the game calm and relax me that would be great, then YOUR LOUD voice knee jerks me and pisses me off, if you spoke softer or moved back from the mic just a few inches and or turned your volume down it would be pleasent but i still would NOT want to hear some one speaking throughout the game or movie....
@@arcadianmystic I Really and truly usally don't spend time answering dumb people on the internet but I feel It's neccessary due to the fact you might give my viewers brain damage from reading your comment. You are upset because of your own choice here mate. YOU CHOOSE to click my video, watch it and get upset at me *(A gaming commentary channel that's NEVER done a "No commentary playthrough" on the channel)* for speaking in my video. It's like let's say, you walking in to he cinema *(Without reading about the movie)* to watch what you think is a romantic drama but ends up being a gory horror film to storm out and scream at the person playing the movie "I HAD EXPACTAIONS ABOUT THIS MOVIE WITHOUT RESEARCHING IT AND THEREFORE I'M ANGRY AT YOU!". Do you see how incredebly dumb this way of thinking is? I really hope that you don't act this entitled around people in your life, if so please send them my deepest condolences. So here is me doing my part, next time you want to watch a video/playthrough with no commentary just write* "Game name No commentary playthrough"*. Hope that helps.

Honestly, watching this game made my blood boil. Dumping a cat out in the wild and saying "oh, you'll be safe out here" Are you serious?! I own several cats and they are all rescues. One I caught as a kitten from on a farm I was working on at the time. Two I caught several months ago after our idiot neighbor bred his cat, couldn't find homes for the kittens and so released them into the wild. And then resetly after moving, there was a starving cat that had almost certainly been left behind by the previous tenants. Its heart breaking that so many people will just abandon an animal like that. I couldn't fathom being so heartless, my animals are truly apart of my family.
It still bugs me that it says they "retract" their claws when, in fact, it's "extend" their claws. Retraction is putting them away. You don't retract them when you want to scratch things
You're not frisking sorry, Olive. I had experience when my foster kitten was returned to me after a year! Gladly wasn't thrown away.. My husband said that he'll never give away another cat. That situation broke my heart, so did this game💔
We were crying hard enough until the nature expert decided to say "cat's don't go to heaven"!, turned to look at my gf and she just burst out crying harder! We have 5 cats ourselves so this caught us off guard!
Awee dude ♥️😂 so happy to see the comments in this one. Everyone is showing some feelings and sharing stories. So easy to forget that we're all humans on the other side of the screens
@@FiskI think the "humans" on the other side of the screens forget they are HUMANS too! I had to rip that one commenter a new one, praying he gets out of his mums basement and finds the unconditional love from an animal so he can focus on anything besides being mean hiding behind a screen!
The end really got to me. I've just been broken up with my partner of 4 years. And I'm now looking for MY new home. I feel so similar to Dawn. Accepted, integrated, solidified, then everything pulled out from under me from out of nowhere. It's been 6 days, so I haven't found my family like Dawn yet, but there's still time. I also had NO IDEA that the end of this video would see me crying lol.
I felt it was a great analogy too for breaking up with a partner who was once your home and now you are alone. Relatable and extremely sad, whether it’s an animal or a person. So sorry you’re going through that pain right now 💕
I'm in a somewhat relatable boat, I was left by my partner and now ex-fiance of 3+ years. It's been 3 months and I'm still reeling from the grief and the emotions. This playthrough genuinely made me cry.
It's so sad! I'll be 61 soon and I have 3 cats all rescues! My last one came to me as a baby feral! I spent alot of time outside getting him to trust me, finally right before the big snowfall in Wisconsin I got him and put him in my bathroom! My one cat hates him! But he's family, I can't give him away he would feel like dawn! 😢 I feed over 15+ feral that I feed everyday! I have one male in sad shape that let's me pet him! But nobody will take him in 2 shelters here he will not make through the winter! It's so sad! I love cats all my life I've had cats! Thanks Fisk love watching this but it hurts my heart ❤️
I'm 42 now, my family fostered, sheltered and kept over 50 cats since I was like 14. We always had cats. There was just one cat I ever really called mine. He was part of a litter of three siblings and for some reason the plain brown kitten and I connected when I found them born early morning. He got to live until he was 8 until he was sadly cancer ridden but I still remember him vividly despite it being 20 something years. Charlie could walk on two legs next to me if I held my hand down, he climbed up a rain gutter when he wanted to visit me on the 2nd floor, like 14 feet up to my window, staring at me until I opened and let him in. He was more than a cat and a friend.
I usually have dogs, but when my last big male dog passed, a small female tabby/calico showed up begging for pets and food. She lived in my house for years before passing, she took out every rat and mouse that ever got in the house and was always loving on my female lab. The lab didn't much care for it, but tolerated her. 😂
@@FTLnovaKid He was, I always considered him a wild cat because he enjoyed staying outdoors most of the time and generally just came inside at night. We lived in a decent spot for cats to safely roam free through backyards and the fields right behind the property. It sucked to have to put him to sleep, but in the end if I deem it medically and ethically sound (whether it's a pet or a person) it should be a valid option, it was at a point where there were no options other than to medicate him to a point where he was barely lucid or let him drift off.
This game is beautifully made and broke my heart, i almost stopped watching the whole thing coz it made me sad and frustrated. I am away from my family, working abroad. I adopted a stray beautiful Siberia cat, Mika, didn't know she was pregnant, even the vet didn't lol she gave birth to 3 kittens, 2 females Mochi and Cookie, and 1 ginger male cat Whisky. I felt connected to Whisky and he wouldn't stay away from me, following me everywhere and sleeping next to me or on my chest. Now he's all grown up and heavy strong like a tiger. I gave away Mochi and Cookie to my friends and they are happy, I am glad they found a nice home, made both the cats and my friends happy but still I raised them for 4 months and it broke my heart to give them away... this game really made me feel sad but the graphics and ending is amazing. Thank you Fisk
I got a cat for free 6 years ago. They said their son beat her, and to hurry before he gets home. We'll, they were lying. She wasn't beat (thank goodness) BUT SHE WAS PREGNANT. That's why they didn't want her anymore. Well, she had 5 kittens, then our neighbor at the time said a. Momma stray was struck by a car and orphaned 4 kittens. I had 10 cats at one point! The momma cat accepted these kittens and they all got good homes, one even being a savior (if nothing else, this was all meant to happen for this lady to own one of the orphans...I'll have to tell that story if your interested) but they all got good homes and I kept 2...DIBBZ and AUNRI, and we still have the (now fixed) mom. The shelter fixed all 10 for free (I donated but because it's awesome of them, and they fixed them for free knowing my situation) So, knowing those ppl knew she was prego, deciding to pawn her off to an unknowing "victim" was heartbreaking. Luckily I'm not ever a victim and I took on the responsibility...but shameful they are! I love my cats and DIBBZ even got DIABETES (DIBBZ-A-BEETES...lol) And her meds are expensive, but I would never ever just ditch a cat... (DID I mention we got fleas for 8 months with 10 kittens, 2 dogs and step-kids who didn't clean? I vacuumed 3x a day and bathed each kitten 2x a week for 8 months to get rid of the fleas...not once did I think to just get rid of them! I mean, adopted out, yes, but never abandoned!)
And the story of the orphan: My bestie, Carrie was supposed to take her. But after keeping her past the adoption center kitten deposit by weeks, she said she couldn't. SO, I put an ad in the paper and this lady called. Said her trophy dog passed and she wanted a kitten to keep her other dog company, instead of another dog...as she was getting older and hurt too much still...when I told her I named the cat Carrie, cause I was saving it for Carrie, the lady had a story that seamed like it was meant to be about keeping her name Carrie... I took xat Carrie to her house, cause I want to make sure she's not training pit bulls or anything, and she had trophy's and huge portraits of her animals everywhere, and the dog and cat immediately hit it off (cause we had dogs, Carrie wasn't scared) So, I think, that all this (disaster) I endured, if nothing else, was to get this lady this cat. Cause it was like the universe was all set in line when this adoption happened between Carrie and this lady. (It was free of course, id never charge for it, just make sure its a good home, ya know?) We kept on touch for a little bit, but I know that cat saved that lady, and vice-versa.... And after these 3 cats of mine are done and gone from earth, I think I will take a few years to smile about these memories, but will most likely do it all over again...because cats are awesome! Dogs too... People, not too much...lol..but I'm praying pets will teach them unconditional love, and hopefully humans can spread that to eachother from there... Hopefully. Lol
I'm going to share this as a main story, since I typed it all out already...it's a good story for everyone, so it will be copied and pasted to the main comment section...just so others know that thro it all, cats are worth it! Lol
Lovely. I have 8 cats, (only one voluntary, mind. The rest just jumped the wall and never left). The last batch was a group of 4 kittens that I discovered in the garden. Loved that game.
There are times when I can't watch games that include cats, specially if something happens to them. I still haven't even play Stray fully yet, as most my time gets spent on either my own 5 cats or the fosters. But I think this one hits in the heart a bit since I work with a well known cat charity here in the UK, and ive been fostering cats/kittens for over 10 years, though I had to work at centre first to get a rough idea of what im in for. There are those can can really tug on the heart, but at the end of the day it's when all your hard work goes into that cat/kitten finding a new home. But there are those that can be very picky, which can be annoying but rewarding when they do find their furr-evr loving home. All mine are rescue, well loved and even times got put up with the odd hairball etc. I have three girls and two boys, named Mei, Hope, Yuki, Ellie and Jiji.....Ellie also has a sister called Charlie with also belongs to us but is my mums cat, and WAS my nans cat before she passed away over 4 years ago. Keep up the work Fisk look forward to more upcoming horror videos even though I won't play them myself.
This was absolutely gut wrenching and brought back some horrible memories. when I was 16 and had just got my first car, my uncle asked if I could take their dog to a nice neighborhood because they were being evicted and I stupidly said yes. I’ll never forgive myself for doing that. I still to this day I cry over it. Thinking back I just don’t understand why I would agree to do it. The memory of her watching me as I drove away shreds my heart into pieces and It will haunt me till the day I die.
If you really want to clear up your conscience, and you have the space in your life to do it, go rescue a dog or cat that got dumped. Save them. It’ll clear up your karma ❤
Brother i have been missing my prince so much lately. He passed a year ago and he was with me through the hardest times. Always there to love. I miss his little meows and his sweet cuddles. He was the sweetest guy. Rest in peace Hamlet. I miss you buddy
I got a kitten when I got divorced years ago. She was a good kitty , but passed 2 months ago. She would get up under my chin and neck and that's where she wanted to sleep and she could care less about the dogs lol. That was her spot! Sorry for your loss
Can anyone guess this quote from a certain declawed cat? “They act like they love you. They act like they'll be there forever. And then one day they pack up all their stuff and move away and take their love with them, and leave their declawed cat behind to fend for herself!" (After calming herself) “They leave her. Wondering... what she did wrong."
Ha ha! 😆 EHHH! ❌😑Wrong answer. It’s Mittens. From the Disney movie Bolt. But the two things she and Kitty have in common is they both are declawed and were abandoned by their former owners. While Mittens has gotten a new chance in Bolt’s family, Kitty still out for herself, no longer willing to trust any human.
@@eduardosolis6383 oh my God, I cannot believe I got that wrong. Bolt used to be one of my ultimate favorite childhood movies, but then again mittens and kitty softpaws are the exact same type of cat who look almost identical so it’s kind of hard to remember who’s who 🤣
Well, the easy and obvious, is that Mittens never wears boots to walk on her hind paws or use a dagger to fight enemies three times her size. While Kitty, despite having no claws, would easily kick a wacko dog’s butt with unexpected fighting moves that Bolt would never anticipated especially that he had no powers.
My neighbor has been my friend for over 5 yrs, and her cats just passed away...shes 73 btw...so she went to the shelter, but had a hard time thro the adoption ppl with phone references and phone tag, but FINALLY got a 'ginger' girl named SUNNY. This cat, was ferral but the shelter never told her that, and after a week in her house, it escaped. She (the cat) came back to get food, but never let the lady pet her or really engage with her at all. Id visit her, and she'd cry, cause she missed and loved her cats, and couldnt pet this one. At the beginning of this month, she had to go get open heart surgery. The shelter took the cat back, to watch it for her (for a cpl hundred $ donation of course) but when she gets home, she wants the cat back...plus will adopt a more social cat that she can snuggle, and hopefully get the other cat inside more. I've been cleaning her house while shes gone, and this story had me crying the whole time....Sunny must feel abandoned, but will feel so happy when returned! I cannot believe the woman in this story knew her mistake and ditched a living, feeling family member because she didnt want to admit her mistake to the shelter. NEVER EVER EVER DITCH AN UNWANTED ANIMAL!! U GET A PET, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND ITS FOR LIFE....and this made me mad to see this in a game. There are coyotes, foxes, dogs, snakes, hawks, cars, meaner ppl and poisoned food that is a danger to an abandoned pet. Everyone in this game is sick tho, i mean, who smothers their mother?!?! To even THINK about that is discusting!! Proves this whole family has mental issues i guess, but i really hope ppl see the wrong doing in it, and not take it as what to do, because ill be honest, when you were saying you have to blur feet made me cry. Are humans that fkt up? Then i thought how doomed our race is due to rac*ism, and if we all could just be NICE to eachother, we may actually survive as a species, but if we treat our FAMILY like this, we're all doomed! Idk if my neighbor will make it home, as shes not doing too well, but at least if not, the cat has a chance to find a loving family from the shelter, and the donation will help keep her fed until then for sure....NEVER EVER drop a pet off in the middle of nowhere. Put yourself in others shoes and think how you would feel! Same goes for you bad ppl in comment sections just being mean. Your in your mums basement at 40 yo for crying out loud! Shut up and grow up. Be kinder and maybe kindness will be delivered back, in the form of an apartment and a job so u have something better to put your energy twards...your future!! Im so sick of negativity and cruelty...cant we all be good to ourselves and eachother? Its not hard...it should come naturally!
I had to talk to my therapist to sort out my emotions after my play through of this game. I had gone into it completely blind because I had heard it was a narrative driven game, and I VERY much a cat person. Long story short, I cried so hard that my coughing caused a nosebleed and made me pause about halfway through the game... This was a brutal story with a super important message about responsible pet ownership. My only criticism about the story is that they MAKE Dawn2 (or Sunrise as the after credits seen show her new name to be[sad to see Fisk stopped the recording before that scene]) forgive Olive for what she did. Listen, I was willing to forgive her for taking the original Dawn back inside and not knowing it wasn't the cat she had just adopted...But for her to finally realize it and then give us the Tod treatment from Fox & The Hound?! All to save face and not let people know what she did?! No! I am sorry... I feel that is unforgivable. Like, I am glad that Dawn2/Sunrise didn't give up in the street...but the devs could have found her a home with a nice happy family that knows how to treat their pets with respect and love. It is a cute game and a cute message at the end of the game about home being "where you are needed most"...and I will still play the game with my siblings and share my trauma with them when they come home next weekend...
ima start by saying...ive never been a cat person...i say THAT to say THISSSSSS for a second there i was begining to think that this pooooor kitty was NEVER gonna catch a break! poor Dawn2....i really thought our luck had changed when that kid came up to us in the park...i stg this hit me alllll in the feelsac....im so glad you played it tho and im happy the cat finally caught a wee bit of good luck her way.....bc SHIIIIT it was getting depressing
Crying bro.... this had me missing my mom so bad. In later years she had a cat that kept her company and was a really good thing for her. She was so good with them, loved them like family. I uh....I was heroine addict at this time and feel so bad for not being around as I should have though I did visit but not enough. Sometimes you don't get another chance you know. I regret that and that she never saw me finally clean up and quit drugs. This game brought all that up but in a good way I suppose. Because I do remember all the laughter and love along with things I'd have done different. Wow, sorry for all that but truth is truth. Anyways good video bro.
I know its not the same but i was a kid with ptsd. My grandparents saved me from abuse, neglect, and adopted me when i was 7. They passed away when i was 17. Ill forever regret that they only got to see me as a bratty child and teenager, never an adult. I empathize with how you feel. Wanting to make it up to and prove yourself to people who arent here anymore. Its hard to accept
Australian resident here! Carpet pythons could perhaps swallow a cat, but more likely to get bit by a venomous snake/spider In some states cats aren’t allowed outside at all. In some states they have a curfew But it’s more so to protect the wildlife than to protect the cats Cats kill more wildlife than wildlife kill cats
Just curious as I grew up in Texas and seen cats do some weird stuff. I never saw a cat take on a venomous snake but have watched them take on snakes, bapping them in the head with their paws while jumping out of strike range of the snake they fighting with? Hands down nothing to do with the game but just these comments the craziest thing I've seen hands down and if I hadn't have seen it with my own eyes. I've been around chickens and turkeys a good bit of my life. I was in my 30's and helping my mother add another nesting box in her chicken coop that she had outside the coop on the ground. We picked the nesting box up to take it in the coop, well apparently some mice had built their little house underneath. I knew chickens would eat bugs. Folks, I'm telling you what I saw a chicken do with a full grown mouse when lifted up that box was straight up Jurassic Park! That chicken grabbed that mouse, tilted its head up, opened it mouth and goodbye mouse. Even my dad acted like he had never seen a chicken do that. We just kinda looked at each other like did we just see what we think we saw? Yep, that chicken just T Rexed that mouse. If I hadn't of seen it I probably wouldn't believe it but that hen just grabbed, head up and swallowed that mouse down whole!
Oh gosh this tears me apart. I lost both my fur babies and watching this is breaking my heart. It hurts to see how sad the cat we play as is. I just want to hug the cat we play as and comfort her.
Sadly when the animal has been neglected, abandoned, misunderstood and treated like vermin by the wrong people over and over again and again, they may quickly lose their hope of humanity, becoming more cynical, bitter, unforgiving and vindictive. That cats (as well other animals that suffer through this same thing) they’ll view all humans as unfair, uncaring, unsympathetic, indifferent, lying, ungrateful, backstabbing, abusive, tormentive, prideful, self-centered creatures that don’t deserve their affection, care, companionship and loyalty.
@@eduardosolis6383 that is too true, but god this video hurt so much to watch. I helped a stray cat at one point that soon trusted me with meeting her kittens. I think helping animals is the best thing you could do do
Wow, this game put me through all the feels. I had a similar experience with family getting rid of my pets. Had my mother watch my cats and dog when I got stationed in Korea, she gottgave them away. Never was able to get them back either.
Aussie here, cats are actually devastating for our native animals so the advice is to keep them inside to protect native species. Fun fact though, cats are immune to the venom of the Funnel Web Spider, which is what most people consider the big threat aside from the Eastern Brown Snakes and Red Bellied Blacks
I know some areas its illegal in Oz to allow cats to wander. Catios are a great option and it's much better for a cat's health to stop them wandering around eating who knows what. Very sensible!
It's the same in the US. They kill off wildlife but also spread diseases among each other. Like feline herpes and HIV/AIDS. We have a huge feral/stray problem our local shelters have a "kitten" season when most cats that haven't been caught, fixed, and released are having babies. My sister started fostering pregnant/postpartum strays and their kitten through one of the shelters at her work. The clients help clean, feed, and socialize them for adoption. My BF, roommate and I adopted 2 brothers from one of her foster sets. Part of the adoption process is signing that you will NEVER let them outside. Our 2 boys have herpes from their mom and get flare ups where they need medication.
@@LeBongFairy I think the difference with the dingo is that they've become a balance to the ecosystem in the absence of large predators on the main continent since their primary prey leans towards roos/wallabies, and other medium to large herbivores, helping to manage roaming populations of wildlife where they become dangerous to humans and livestock and would otherwise be mass-killed BY humans because of tha (dingoes still invasive, but not destructive from what I understood; please correct, natives, where wrong!). They've adapted to it but aren't as viciously destructive in the way the cane toad, feral hogs, and feral cats are. Even the cane toad problem, however, is starting to find solutions as the native predators figure out how to eat them (the back-flip technique for example to avoid the poison glands!).
What a lovely little game. My cat actually adopted us ha ha. He turned up on our doorstep just 2 weeks after our elderly cat died & he refused to leave. He's been a part of our family now for 12 years.
Just amazing moments for when you needed them most. Reminds me of when my aunt's cat adopted her... so here's the weird thing. She had two malamute huskies that had a bit of wolf in them, my family trained and taught them for most part but they were her dogs. They HATED cats, sick, old didn't matter would at least Growl or Lunge to show it. However, this Orange cat they named Fred/Duck came around. Both dogs accepted him as the family in a extremely strange manner. She would've lost her mind without a companion- a month later Bandit; was found dead the next morning. Vet said his heart likely gave out peacefully in his sleep. Lobo the brother went soon after but was put down rather due to a less peaceful fatal condition. Fred popped up and just became apart of the family in a extremely strange magical way. He was there for her when she mourned and helped her through it. Thing is, those two boys still hated other cats until the end, just gave a weird exception to Fred.
this is how i adopted my cat. He showed up at my yard but I already had a similar one, so I decided keep him, which was hard decision but I did it and I don't regret it . This game is really touching
"What do cats dream about?" I can't speak for cats' actual thoughts, they have no good way to communicate them to us, but my cat sometimes has nightmares where he seems to be fighting something (growls and hisses in his sleep), or where he's looking for someone (contact calls in his sleep). Knowing his history is that he was feral, and was captured with his queen and their kittens, I suspect those nightmares are from his life experiences - he may have been fighting off dogs, foxes, other cats, and maybe he's still looking for his queen and kittens after being separated from them after being captured by a rescue group. Those are the only dreams I'm reasonably sure that's what he's dreaming about, the rest of the time, I have no idea. I haven't seen any dreams that look like they're hunting behavior, there's no 'ekekek' in his sleep, but sometimes twitching paws. I do know he's very distressed when he wakes up from the dreams he's been making contact calls, and comes looking for me making contact calls, and crawls into my lap still making contact calls, and wanting a cuddle. I've just gotten near the end of this video. I have nothing nice at all to say about Olive. Nothing. Realistically, when a cat is taken out of the environment and dumped into the wilderness, it doesn't survive. Do. Not. Ever. Do. This.
Your comment hit me hard in the feels. Its rare that we get to know the history of our rescues. Once we do, we understand they have a much greater emotion range than we could ever imagine. My rescue got lost for 3 weeks and when he was finally returned home he was traumatised for a while afterwards. Its obvious to anyone who wants to understand that its a hard life on the streets.
As someone who grew up with cats but couldn’t have one for the last 11 years because most houses in Japan don’t allow pets and I’ll never have even a glimpse of a stable life with visa tied to continuous short-term job contracts, just by reading the comments I’m not sure if I can watch this without getting absolutely enraged 😊 (Spoiler ahead) edit: ew, as predicted, this game made me extremely angry. Eff both ladies to the moon and back, have zero sympathy for either for them. Leaving a home raised pet in the wild can be a death sentence, old woman could have brought back the cat to the shelter or tried to find her a new home. Hated the ending, these two cats deserve a loving safe home with someone who’s not a complete piece of trash instead of going back to this undeserving waste of (virtual) oxygen and her useless daughter.
Ive never cried so much because of a game as i did with this one... omg that was a rollercoaster of heartbreak. Brb hugging my orange tabby boy extra hard rn
I have to agree with everyone else. As someone that lives on a dead end road in the middle of no where, I get a lot of dumped animals. I have 14 cats two dogs, a pig and a rooster. I don't have neighbors so where the heck did they come from?? People think , they dump and animal out in the middle of no where that they will find a house .... no they die of starvation or to a larger predator. But out here they find my house. The pig was a surprise, it's a tiny mini pig. I've had her for about 3 months and she's still tiny and cute. Smaller than an average house cat, litter trained. Yeah I'm still scratching my head over that one. I have to say this story line is shit. Instead of excepting responsibility for your own mistakes and taking the cat back to the shelter, rehoming, or just taking care of both cats, you chose to dump it. So many choices and so many people willing to take in a animal. Sorry I won't be buying this game for this reason. Just plain bad writing and story line. If you would have just tweaked it a little and made it the cats choice to scurry off some where people wouldn't be this upset.
As an Aussie it's very frowned upon to let your cats outside. Not only because of snakes or dangerous animals but because the cats hunt native wildlife like birds and other small creatures. So if you let your cat outside people in the area will look down on you for doing it and tell you to not do this.
this ^^ though usually theres extremely little concern about snakes or spiders hurting your cat, more the usual cars, dogs, and messed up people concerns
Thankfully, in my area there’s rarely any snakes, maybe a few spiders, but they’re not deadly. I have this one cat, he already has an owner, my neighbor, but he’s been surviving for awhile! He was adopted a couple weeks ago. And he mostly stays outside, rarely going inside. Our neighborhood isn’t that big, but he usually stays close to home. Every so often he’d come around to my house, and we’d feed him. He eats as if he’s never been fed 😂 when we first saw him, though, he was as skinny as can be. That was the start of his adoption, and his owner has been taking care of him ever since. But I think the reason why he was never gaining barely any weight over the past few weeks is because he has either a fast metabolism, or he burns all that fat off within a day 😂 he’s not like a house cat, laying around all day. He exercises. That’s what you don’t have to worry about in outdoor cats, they can thrive on their own, if something goes wrong, then yeah, sure, bring them to the vet if you have the money. Sadly, my cat couldn’t be saved… she was attacked by a dog I presume, her wound was a gruesome sight. Her jaw was literally hanging on by one hinge, and we had to put her out of her misery by ourselves because we just couldn’t afford to get her to a vet and try and save her.
I wasn't sure I would watch the entire video based on the title, boy was I wrong. I couldn't stop watching. Such a roller coaster of emotions narrated brilliantly by Fisk. Also, I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying.
@@captainsewerrat because we already have a dog and a fish tank in a very small apartment. It would be very crowded to add yet another person to the household
@@Ryukotsusei-f6z That's fair, you can keep a tank safe from cats generally, however getting a cat after you already have a dog can be tricky or even impossible.
@@captainsewerrat yes, and not only that but I already have my hands full with 2 special needs people and a dog with special needs. I dont think I could handle the extra responsibility right now. In the future maybe, but not now.
watching this as a cat lover breaks my heart because iv seen people leave there cats outside in the worst weather and thinking ppl abandon there animals breaks my heart
@@FiskI spent the next 30 minutes of the video just constantly laughing 😂😂 I can't get that damn old ladies face out of my head with that fart noise 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This game reminds me of my great grandma and the cat I rescued and brought to her. She told me she couldn’t care for a cat and wasn’t going to have one, but when I came back and said I still hadn’t found a home for her, my granny just said “what?? No she’s staying here.” Ringo is a full grown cat now and my Granny needs her more than ever as she gets older. She’s getting worse and I’m afraid for both me and the cat, but we’re taking care of her the best we can.
For the record, all putting bells on cats does is make them sneakier. Cats will eventually learn to compensate for any ringing so not having a bell actually helps local fauna more than not. Cats aren't so much domesticated as willingly cohabitating with himans. Lol. Truthfully cats shouldn't go outside at all unless they're on lead imo. They're safer, healthier, and their quality of life is better.
I agree! I walk my cat similar to a dog, but theres no need to force them or drag them along the path, because they dont rely on walks to poop or pee. Theyre just for their enjoyment, enrichment
Nice little game that has double messages... one about home and belonging... another about pets being for life... on a much different note it was nice to hear your accent... I was born in America to a Scandinavian family... everyone is VERY confused by my accent... everyone gets confused by where it is from... hearing yours made me actually hear the version of my own... I keep telling people it's a washed out Norwegian accent... but now I can send them this direction for comparison... hahaha...
I hate this. But in the sense that it so true. People need to try out and become aware of the animals suffer in silence. They cannot speak to us an figure things out. Just like how the cat was constantly being treated horribly by random people. Anytime I see that I'm just confounded on how people's inability to consider what their actions are doing. Like what do you hope to accomplish by scaring a stray? People don't realize even if the stray or wild for the most part thay are domesticated. And those mixed signals are incredibly hard to survive in. To find food you shoe and combat them they're going to stop and you contributing towards that. See a stray animal approach you and be friendly to shoot away harshly is only condemning it's a further suffering of starvation or the respond negatively to the next humans they see which would compound the issue further. I hate the lack of sympathy. Or Awareness And simply taking them out to a farm. Where does Less cars or dogs is BS. Coping. Does more of other dangerous you would expose them to and the elements. Soft white and Danny to Winter comes by. Just being out and about just the rain cats can get sick too. This shit had me crying so much. I can't stand how simple an yet are true this is an that reality hurts.
Mae looks like a hagraven. Also i assume when a cat growls in their aleep, their either dreaming of hunting, fending off othher cats or protecting their prey from being stolen.
I just played this and cried (literally) half of the game. A solid straight hour+. Had to immediately come watch you play it after. Such a great, emotional game. Did you happen to see the end scene? It's Olive sitting outside with both cats wearing different colored collars, and she names the new cat/you Sunrise. :)
I & my family are foster fails...we've rescued 5 litters (14 cats, total) from sickness & injury, and somehow wound up keeping 11 of them, many with ongoing issues. We made the commitment to rescue & care for each of them. Full stop. No "oops", no take-backs, no excuses. We made sure we had the resources (time, money, attention) before committing to our furry babies. My oldest cat is 22 years old, my youngest pair are 2 years old. I'm committed...or should I be committed? 😸
omg im so saaad.. i couldnt help but cry and then my cat came over to try comfort me.. istg.. ive never wanted to hug him and tell him over and over again how much i lv him and am thankful to have him by myside.. even if he is a huge pain in the butt sometime.. 😭
Fisk, you do a great job of balancing your anger and sadness, i appreciate it, because i couldn't do what you do xD That was a messed up story, first having lost my mom to cancer and knowing the memory damage that comes from so many prescriptions, also the irrational behaviors (I.e. driving your cat to the wilderness "before mae wakes up"). That was a tough watch but i really love the creator's POV on adoption and how meaningful we really are to our fur babies. poor Dawn's :( Keep up your great content! i hope you and fooster make some more vids together soon :)
I was going to buy this game but its too sad. All the poor cat wants it somone to love it, my wife and i have 4 cats and i couldn't imagine just dropping one off in the woods and driving away, even when they do something bad
This marks the first game to make me cry or come close to crying. Maybe its because of my current mental state being not to good. I would actually get this game and play it myself if I find it on ps store and can afford it.
This went straight to my heart sick that you played this and it came out just today, and chose that color of cat too, had to put my cat down today that had the same color, nice that the story got a good ending there.
This past winter a stray cat showed up at our house several times. Gave him food and water and on super cold nights I would put him in my basement with a litter box, food and water. I have an indoor cat that does not like other cats so being in the house upstairs was no option. I had posted online and contact animal control trying to find the owner, if there was one. It broke my heart that I couldn't keep him if he was a stray, so I offered what I could. A month went by and I got a message from the cats owner that he is a freeloader and during that time he kept losing his collar. They assured us he is well fed and cared for but that he is a mostly outdoor cat and they cant control where he goes. So, Willy the freeloading cat still comes by. I still give him pats and talk to him but no more food at our house so he doesn't visit as often 😅
Man, F this game. She's not sorry at all!! She made the choice to adopt her and her solution is to ABANDON THE CAT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. No family, no food, no home. Alone and scared. I'm pissed. I really liked Olive in the beginning but she's cruel and heartless. I hate her.
This game made me cry.... it just reminded me of my cat who lived a full life with me and passed away a few years ago... his name was J.B. (Jet Black ) i miss him dearly.... but it also brought back bad memories of when i was a lot younger and my father and brother did this to a cat... dumped him... i could never forgive them and they did it under my nose while i was asleep ... a few weeks before it happened they were talking about trying to get rid of the cat because it pee'd everywhere in the house... so they wanted to put it into a shelter... so i told them i'll help look for shelters and find a good home... every day i called people and tried... then one night they did that to the cat because they gave up finding a shelter... they refused to tell me where they dropped the cat off and i drove everywhere all day for a a few weeks all over looking for that cat ... and nothing... i looked for so long ..... watching this made me ball my eyes out because i blamed myself that i couldn't find the cat.... i just hope it got to someplace safe but this haunts me to this day and i cry every time being reminded of it... this game was extremely tough for me
I’m late catching the video. But has anyone questioned how Olive was able to drive away so fast after ditching Dawn 2? I mean…the amount of obstacles in the roadway.
Aussie here. To answer the questions about cat's safety in Australia, it depends on where you live, and how close/far away from cities you are. Snakes are more unlikely to be seen the closer you get to the city. As someone who lives in the suburbs, the biggest threat to a cat is cars and dogs.
I can’t with this game it makes me so sad I cried! 😭 My kitten went to heaven earlier this year and I’m still very emotional 😭😭😭 But right now we have 5 cats a dog and chickens at home. I also feed the neighborhood strays. Makes me feel sadder to think there’s so many other strays out there fighting for their life everyday. 😢
A comment about cat dreams: while we can't know for sure, we can make educated guesses based on knowledge of cat behaviour. My cats both have what I call 'milk dreams'. They make sucking sounds while making biscuits (kneading their paws). Their tongues are rounded to form a half circle around an imaginary nipple. Its obvious they are dreaming about suckling. There is plenty of other observable behaviour in their dreams like hissing, running, chirping and meowing... all stuff they do when awake. Watch what your cat does during the day and you'll be able to understand a little more of what they dream about 😊 Also... this game broke me 😭
Aussie here. A while back I saw my cat stalking an Eastern Brown in the back yard. They are the 2nd most venomous land snake and I could see it was getting a bit agitated. I called the cat and for the first time in his life he took notice and came to me. .. Phew, crisis averted. The snake wandered off and I never saw him again. The cat, as far as I know, was none the wiser.
She sucked us in! Never dump your cat, adopt them out.
I can pick out my neighbors cat from a bunch of look alikes. I'll never understand people who dont recognize their own cats and meows
I'm always nice to other cats.
She's old, it's fake and relax 😅
Older people might have a problem remebering what their cat looks like
Of two ifentical cats did a freaky friday where you havent seen your actual cat in months i doubt youll know the difference in looks but only in behavior
But alas its a game. This happens to people. And its not on purpose
The thing is, she *DID* remember, she just pretended not to because she had "Dawn 1" back again & didn't want to face the reality that she now had _two_ cats depending on her.
I got tricked once as i picked a totally black cat off the road and was sure it was mine that had been killed only to turn around crying with the dead cat in my arms to a meowing at my feet that turned out to still be alive looking up at me. It was the freakest thing ive ever seen, they were identical in every way and even tricked my 4 kids and husband too. It can happen.
Yeah, she got the cat from a no kill shelter(they said it had been there a long time, wouldn't be the case if they kill to make room), so the only reason not to bring it back is her embarrassment. I can sympathize with the rest but that one cruel act just to save face just ruins the rest.
This reminds me how I adopted my cat. She's a 10 year old, long-haired calico, and I renamed her Roxy. Her previous owner passed away, and no one wanted an old grumpy cat, so she went from sheter to shelter until she ended up at the rescue. I fell in love with her immediately. When I brought her home she hid for two weeks. I took a risk and tried to pet her, and she let me. Not only that, but she started to purr. She fell asleep next to me the next night.
I've had her for two years now, and she's fat,grumpy, and demanding, but still is a cuddle bug.
Love that
My first cat that I adopted had a similar story. She had been in the shelter system since a kitten and had been returned 5 times and it was a kill shelter and it was her last day so I was kinda pressure into choosing her. She hide behind the fridge the first several days then once she warmed up she didn't trust my keeping her so would poop in my bed to test me. Once she realized she wasn't going anywhere she stopped and only used the box.
@TamanduaGirl That's sweet. 🙂
If only you'd helped an actual child who is waiting for adoption. 3/4 of animals get "adopted". But less than 1/4 of children who are waiting for adoption ever get a family. It's a sick society we live in.
@thankyouverymuch Nah, I'll just sit here and pet my cat while I do this 🙄
olive and her family suck, they don't even return poor Kitty back to the shelter
Abd her daughter was gunna smother her mother! This family has some mental issues for sure!!
Horrible people both.
I think the message of this game is to not treat cats like an easy way to fill a void or as a disposable thing when they become too much to handle, so it's a lesson in the mistakes people make in not understanding how big a responsibility a pet can really be. Idk why the cat is so restlesss - perhaps they are young and full of energy so being with an old lady who just wants a companion animal isn't mentally stimulating for Dawn, or maybethey were a rescue stray. If the game makes you mad then you are not the bad egg and that is a good thing.
I also think Olive was avoiding her responsibility to her health - ignoring phone calls, staying home, pretending her health isn't giving out on her (probably because her health is literally the one thing people want to talk to her about) - and used Dawn to escape that, and Mae took the frustration of her mum dying in front of her out on Dawn, because emotional maturity isnt her strong suit. Those papers Mae was looking at were medical bills, so I assume she's watching the family estate being sucked away through those expenses which, honestly, would becovered if she went to a retirement home. Look, having dealt with old people, idk if it's different elsewhere but here in Aus they tend to wrestle with their mortality right to the very end as if ignoring the problem will make it go away and it can be a real struggle for everyone involved. Mae handled that responsibility awfully but I don't expect very many people would with the stress of running their own life and the life of a dying family member.
If you can't commit to a pet for any reason, don't get one. If you are sick, seek a doctor. If you are dealing with family member who is sick or dying, speak to a therapist. Dont make the mistakes of the characters in this story.
No no no no no! Excuse me Olive you owe Dawn 1 & Dawn 2 an apology
Fact!
PLEASE NEVER DO THIS TO AN ANIMAL! 😭 releasing them in the middle of nowhere is a death sentence. Fuck this game 😭😭😭
Fr.
Saying there's less cars and less dogs but does not less of other things.
Just spending enough nights on the rain can make a cat sick.
Then taking into account with winter comes.
These cats are not true wildcats the domesticated so they got no evolution on the side to survive climate like that.
And even if they find a place that they can somehow survived the elements.
They must still regularly leave that safe place for food.
Bringing back the danger of the elements yet again.
@@SeeMyEvilmhm unless they were an outside cat but 20 days isn’t enough for a cat to learn to live outside and even then they might not survive
Mate are you ok??
@@Misto_deVito6009 they are correct. The animals will basically never be able to hunt before they die of starvation or a predator or even human activity and vehicle. Plus, the game developers could atleast tell people that as a disclaimer so people don’t think animals survive each time. kids might think that then release animals out. Adults may listen to the kids if they convince them it’s okay and all that bad stuff.
Edit : ignore “ two legs “ I have warrior cats autocorrect it’s driving me crazy, I have changed it now
@@cheeseclan4614 You know im not doubting that right?
This made me cry like the entire video, it wrecked me lol But the part that hit the most is when the old lady dropped the cat off at the woods and left. It brought back childhood trauma of the fox and the hound, when the old lady releases the fox into the wild. Dude it brought back so many sad memories of that movie lol
Omg! You and me both! I still have trauma from that movie!
Thats not trauma-
This video game made me sob. I love cats. Always had cats in my life. I currently have 3 beautiful cats all are rescues. I can’t imagine being without a cat.
As an automotive technician for 15 years, I have found 2 kittens in the engine compartment of 2 separate vehicles. Both were unharmed. After fostering each kitten, they were adopted by loving families. I named the kittens, Honda & Toyota. Both families decided to keep the names. Honda was completely Deaf (and loved to eat sauerkraut), but was adopted by a family who's son was Autistic. Apparently they bonded immediately and became best friends. A video of adult Honda on my channel.
Honda and Toyota, that’s epic. I had a cat named Vtec and another named Turbo lol
@@des_got_boostmy current kitties name is p-titty bc she dark as diddy but now with what he did it makes me look at her weird bc she is a little weirdo too
Had a momma cat that liked to hide her kittens in the undercarriage of our truck. We discovered this after two ran out from under it at Wal-mart and into the willing hands of a couple of young ladies thanks to the cat distribution system. And then, after a nice date, my mom heard meowing under there from a void baby who was sitting on top of the spare tire. She managed to get him out, and checked, and back to his mom... but then about the next day, we turned the engine on and heard it meowing in terror. We popped the hood and pulled him out unharmed, deciding it might be better for him to stay indoors after that. Spooky Boy was with us for 16 years, and stayed away from engine sounds after that.
As a kid I named my very first cat Toyota! Fun to know there's another kitty out there with the same name :')
Reading the comments, the stories from all of you really do mean a lot. Sometimes it's easy to forget we're dealing with people behind the comments/screens and that everyone got stories and things that they're going through. You're all legends, unless you're like super annoying... 😉

DO NOT NEED, AND DEFINATELY DO NOT WANT IT.... so sorry to downvote it if youi just let let it play and keep quite and let the soothing sounds of the game calm and relax me that would be great, then YOUR LOUD voice knee jerks me and pisses me off, if you spoke softer or moved back from the mic just a few inches and or turned your volume down it would be pleasent but i still would NOT want to hear some one speaking throughout the game or movie....
@@arcadianmystic I Really and truly usally don't spend time answering dumb people on the internet but I feel It's neccessary due to the fact you might give my viewers brain damage from reading your comment.
You are upset because of your own choice here mate. YOU CHOOSE to click my video, watch it and get upset at me *(A gaming commentary channel that's NEVER done a "No commentary playthrough" on the channel)* for speaking in my video. It's like let's say, you walking in to he cinema *(Without reading about the movie)* to watch what you think is a romantic drama but ends up being a gory horror film to storm out and scream at the person playing the movie "I HAD EXPACTAIONS ABOUT THIS MOVIE WITHOUT RESEARCHING IT AND THEREFORE I'M ANGRY AT YOU!". Do you see how incredebly dumb this way of thinking is? I really hope that you don't act this entitled around people in your life, if so please send them my deepest condolences.
So here is me doing my part, next time you want to watch a video/playthrough with no commentary just write* "Game name No commentary playthrough"*. Hope that helps.

I don't know if it was cathartic for me to cry as much as I did watching this bro. Give me my eye fluids back.
you can have some of mine, i saved it in a jar 🥹
Honestly, watching this game made my blood boil. Dumping a cat out in the wild and saying "oh, you'll be safe out here" Are you serious?! I own several cats and they are all rescues. One I caught as a kitten from on a farm I was working on at the time. Two I caught several months ago after our idiot neighbor bred his cat, couldn't find homes for the kittens and so released them into the wild. And then resetly after moving, there was a starving cat that had almost certainly been left behind by the previous tenants. Its heart breaking that so many people will just abandon an animal like that. I couldn't fathom being so heartless, my animals are truly apart of my family.
Anybody else start screaming at the TV when Olive abandoned her in the woods? 🤬
It still bugs me that it says they "retract" their claws when, in fact, it's "extend" their claws. Retraction is putting them away. You don't retract them when you want to scratch things
Well, it's "protracting". But you're right: Retracting would have been the other way around :).
What bugs me, is that mother in the park chasing Dawn off & saying _"it might have rabies"_ when we *_don't have_* rabies in Australia...
@@Foxtrot369i wouldnt be surprised if people were led to believe rabies was everywhere
@@Floatingshoelace Well this game certainly won't help with that...
The nature documentary also said "five species of big cat", completely forgetting the cougar and cheetah; so there's actually 7.
You're not frisking sorry, Olive. I had experience when my foster kitten was returned to me after a year! Gladly wasn't thrown away.. My husband said that he'll never give away another cat. That situation broke my heart, so did this game💔
We were crying hard enough until the nature expert decided to say "cat's don't go to heaven"!, turned to look at my gf and she just burst out crying harder! We have 5 cats ourselves so this caught us off guard!
Awee dude ♥️😂 so happy to see the comments in this one. Everyone is showing some feelings and sharing stories. So easy to forget that we're all humans on the other side of the screens
@@FiskI think the "humans" on the other side of the screens forget they are HUMANS too! I had to rip that one commenter a new one, praying he gets out of his mums basement and finds the unconditional love from an animal so he can focus on anything besides being mean hiding behind a screen!
The end really got to me. I've just been broken up with my partner of 4 years. And I'm now looking for MY new home. I feel so similar to Dawn. Accepted, integrated, solidified, then everything pulled out from under me from out of nowhere. It's been 6 days, so I haven't found my family like Dawn yet, but there's still time. I also had NO IDEA that the end of this video would see me crying lol.
I felt it was a great analogy too for breaking up with a partner who was once your home and now you are alone. Relatable and extremely sad, whether it’s an animal or a person. So sorry you’re going through that pain right now 💕
Sorry to hear that mate. Break ups are a *itch. Keep that head high and i know at the end , after some time you'll be fine you legend
A relationship doesn't define a family though.
I'm in a somewhat relatable boat, I was left by my partner and now ex-fiance of 3+ years. It's been 3 months and I'm still reeling from the grief and the emotions. This playthrough genuinely made me cry.
It's so sad! I'll be 61 soon and I have 3 cats all rescues! My last one came to me as a baby feral! I spent alot of time outside getting him to trust me, finally right before the big snowfall in Wisconsin I got him and put him in my bathroom! My one cat hates him! But he's family, I can't give him away he would feel like dawn! 😢 I feed over 15+ feral that I feed everyday! I have one male in sad shape that let's me pet him! But nobody will take him in 2 shelters here he will not make through the winter! It's so sad! I love cats all my life I've had cats! Thanks Fisk love watching this but it hurts my heart ❤️
I'm 42 now, my family fostered, sheltered and kept over 50 cats since I was like 14. We always had cats. There was just one cat I ever really called mine. He was part of a litter of three siblings and for some reason the plain brown kitten and I connected when I found them born early morning. He got to live until he was 8 until he was sadly cancer ridden but I still remember him vividly despite it being 20 something years. Charlie could walk on two legs next to me if I held my hand down, he climbed up a rain gutter when he wanted to visit me on the 2nd floor, like 14 feet up to my window, staring at me until I opened and let him in. He was more than a cat and a friend.
@@captainsewerrat That cat sounds awesome!! Also f*ck cancer.
I usually have dogs, but when my last big male dog passed, a small female tabby/calico showed up begging for pets and food. She lived in my house for years before passing, she took out every rat and mouse that ever got in the house and was always loving on my female lab. The lab didn't much care for it, but tolerated her. 😂
I woulda poo'd on the top step of Olive's staircase... See if her hip survives that...😸
@@FTLnovaKid He was, I always considered him a wild cat because he enjoyed staying outdoors most of the time and generally just came inside at night. We lived in a decent spot for cats to safely roam free through backyards and the fields right behind the property. It sucked to have to put him to sleep, but in the end if I deem it medically and ethically sound (whether it's a pet or a person) it should be a valid option, it was at a point where there were no options other than to medicate him to a point where he was barely lucid or let him drift off.
This game is beautifully made and broke my heart, i almost stopped watching the whole thing coz it made me sad and frustrated. I am away from my family, working abroad. I adopted a stray beautiful Siberia cat, Mika, didn't know she was pregnant, even the vet didn't lol she gave birth to 3 kittens, 2 females Mochi and Cookie, and 1 ginger male cat Whisky. I felt connected to Whisky and he wouldn't stay away from me, following me everywhere and sleeping next to me or on my chest. Now he's all grown up and heavy strong like a tiger. I gave away Mochi and Cookie to my friends and they are happy, I am glad they found a nice home, made both the cats and my friends happy but still I raised them for 4 months and it broke my heart to give them away... this game really made me feel sad but the graphics and ending is amazing. Thank you Fisk
I got a cat for free 6 years ago. They said their son beat her, and to hurry before he gets home. We'll, they were lying. She wasn't beat (thank goodness) BUT SHE WAS PREGNANT. That's why they didn't want her anymore. Well, she had 5 kittens, then our neighbor at the time said a. Momma stray was struck by a car and orphaned 4 kittens. I had 10 cats at one point! The momma cat accepted these kittens and they all got good homes, one even being a savior (if nothing else, this was all meant to happen for this lady to own one of the orphans...I'll have to tell that story if your interested) but they all got good homes and I kept 2...DIBBZ and AUNRI, and we still have the (now fixed) mom. The shelter fixed all 10 for free (I donated but because it's awesome of them, and they fixed them for free knowing my situation) So, knowing those ppl knew she was prego, deciding to pawn her off to an unknowing "victim" was heartbreaking. Luckily I'm not ever a victim and I took on the responsibility...but shameful they are! I love my cats and DIBBZ even got DIABETES (DIBBZ-A-BEETES...lol) And her meds are expensive, but I would never ever just ditch a cat...
(DID I mention we got fleas for 8 months with 10 kittens, 2 dogs and step-kids who didn't clean? I vacuumed 3x a day and bathed each kitten 2x a week for 8 months to get rid of the fleas...not once did I think to just get rid of them! I mean, adopted out, yes, but never abandoned!)
And the story of the orphan:
My bestie, Carrie was supposed to take her. But after keeping her past the adoption center kitten deposit by weeks, she said she couldn't. SO, I put an ad in the paper and this lady called. Said her trophy dog passed and she wanted a kitten to keep her other dog company, instead of another dog...as she was getting older and hurt too much still...when I told her I named the cat Carrie, cause I was saving it for Carrie, the lady had a story that seamed like it was meant to be about keeping her name Carrie...
I took xat Carrie to her house, cause I want to make sure she's not training pit bulls or anything, and she had trophy's and huge portraits of her animals everywhere, and the dog and cat immediately hit it off (cause we had dogs, Carrie wasn't scared) So, I think, that all this (disaster) I endured, if nothing else, was to get this lady this cat. Cause it was like the universe was all set in line when this adoption happened between Carrie and this lady. (It was free of course, id never charge for it, just make sure its a good home, ya know?)
We kept on touch for a little bit, but I know that cat saved that lady, and vice-versa....
And after these 3 cats of mine are done and gone from earth, I think I will take a few years to smile about these memories, but will most likely do it all over again...because cats are awesome! Dogs too...
People, not too much...lol..but I'm praying pets will teach them unconditional love, and hopefully humans can spread that to eachother from there...
Hopefully.
Lol
I'm going to share this as a main story, since I typed it all out already...it's a good story for everyone, so it will be copied and pasted to the main comment section...just so others know that thro it all, cats are worth it!
Lol
How did you download it
😭 I just put one of my cats down because she was so sick. I love this game. RIP Ember 🩶💔
Rip ember, may you have the best time in cat heaven!
I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for giving her a life full of love and warmth. RIP, Ember.
I had to put my cat down on April 1st of this year, I still miss him. I feel your pain, may Ember rest in peace in heaven when the times comes💚
Poor Dawn, Olive should've returned the poor creature to the shelter. Not abandon it in the middle of nowhere!
Bluring the feets got me laughing xD
"Is not just the phone, it's the devil!!" 😂
This is the saddest story I've seen in ages. I definitely didn't cry though. That was you! Great game, thanks for the playthrough
glad you enjoyed it
Lovely. I have 8 cats, (only one voluntary, mind. The rest just jumped the wall and never left). The last batch was a group of 4 kittens that I discovered in the garden.
Loved that game.
See if you can find my story I commented about my 10 kitten experience.
U and I, we have big hearts...glad you kept loving them ❤️
Was a roller coaster of a game. Sad, dark, funny, and wholesome.... Thanks for this video FIsk!
There are times when I can't watch games that include cats, specially if something happens to them. I still haven't even play Stray fully yet, as most my time gets spent on either my own 5 cats or the fosters. But I think this one hits in the heart a bit since I work with a well known cat charity here in the UK, and ive been fostering cats/kittens for over 10 years, though I had to work at centre first to get a rough idea of what im in for. There are those can can really tug on the heart, but at the end of the day it's when all your hard work goes into that cat/kitten finding a new home. But there are those that can be very picky, which can be annoying but rewarding when they do find their furr-evr loving home. All mine are rescue, well loved and even times got put up with the odd hairball etc. I have three girls and two boys, named Mei, Hope, Yuki, Ellie and Jiji.....Ellie also has a sister called Charlie with also belongs to us but is my mums cat, and WAS my nans cat before she passed away over 4 years ago. Keep up the work Fisk look forward to more upcoming horror videos even though I won't play them myself.
This was absolutely gut wrenching and brought back some horrible memories. when I was 16 and had just got my first car, my uncle asked if I could take their dog to a nice neighborhood because they were being evicted and I stupidly said yes. I’ll never forgive myself for doing that. I still to this day I cry over it. Thinking back I just don’t understand why I would agree to do it. The memory of her watching me as I drove away shreds my heart into pieces and It will haunt me till the day I die.
If you really want to clear up your conscience, and you have the space in your life to do it, go rescue a dog or cat that got dumped. Save them. It’ll clear up your karma ❤
I’m SO excited to watch this later. I literally squealed in happiness. You’re commentary and another cat game. Perfect after a long day 💙
As a mamma to 2 kitties, one being a ginger tabby.. this absolutely broke my heart 😭 we don’t deserve animals man 💔
Brother i have been missing my prince so much lately. He passed a year ago and he was with me through the hardest times. Always there to love. I miss his little meows and his sweet cuddles. He was the sweetest guy. Rest in peace Hamlet. I miss you buddy
I got a kitten when I got divorced years ago. She was a good kitty , but passed 2 months ago. She would get up under my chin and neck and that's where she wanted to sleep and she could care less about the dogs lol. That was her spot! Sorry for your loss
Can anyone guess this quote from a certain declawed cat?
“They act like they love you. They act like they'll be there forever. And then one day they pack up all their stuff and move away and take their love with them, and leave their declawed cat behind to fend for herself!"
(After calming herself)
“They leave her. Wondering... what she did wrong."
Kitty softpaws?
Kitty Softpaws, yeah. Best gal.
Ha ha! 😆 EHHH! ❌😑Wrong answer.
It’s Mittens. From the Disney movie Bolt.
But the two things she and Kitty have in common is they both are declawed and were abandoned by their former owners. While Mittens has gotten a new chance in Bolt’s family, Kitty still out for herself, no longer willing to trust any human.
@@eduardosolis6383 oh my God, I cannot believe I got that wrong. Bolt used to be one of my ultimate favorite childhood movies, but then again mittens and kitty softpaws are the exact same type of cat who look almost identical so it’s kind of hard to remember who’s who 🤣
Well, the easy and obvious, is that Mittens never wears boots to walk on her hind paws or use a dagger to fight enemies three times her size.
While Kitty, despite having no claws, would easily kick a wacko dog’s butt with unexpected fighting moves that Bolt would never anticipated especially that he had no powers.
I’m legitimately sobbing 😭
My neighbor has been my friend for over 5 yrs, and her cats just passed away...shes 73 btw...so she went to the shelter, but had a hard time thro the adoption ppl with phone references and phone tag, but FINALLY got a 'ginger' girl named SUNNY. This cat, was ferral but the shelter never told her that, and after a week in her house, it escaped. She (the cat) came back to get food, but never let the lady pet her or really engage with her at all. Id visit her, and she'd cry, cause she missed and loved her cats, and couldnt pet this one. At the beginning of this month, she had to go get open heart surgery. The shelter took the cat back, to watch it for her (for a cpl hundred $ donation of course) but when she gets home, she wants the cat back...plus will adopt a more social cat that she can snuggle, and hopefully get the other cat inside more.
I've been cleaning her house while shes gone, and this story had me crying the whole time....Sunny must feel abandoned, but will feel so happy when returned!
I cannot believe the woman in this story knew her mistake and ditched a living, feeling family member because she didnt want to admit her mistake to the shelter.
NEVER EVER EVER DITCH AN UNWANTED ANIMAL!! U GET A PET, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND ITS FOR LIFE....and this made me mad to see this in a game.
There are coyotes, foxes, dogs, snakes, hawks, cars, meaner ppl and poisoned food that is a danger to an abandoned pet.
Everyone in this game is sick tho, i mean, who smothers their mother?!?! To even THINK about that is discusting!!
Proves this whole family has mental issues i guess, but i really hope ppl see the wrong doing in it, and not take it as what to do, because ill be honest, when you were saying you have to blur feet made me cry. Are humans that fkt up? Then i thought how doomed our race is due to rac*ism, and if we all could just be NICE to eachother, we may actually survive as a species, but if we treat our FAMILY like this, we're all doomed!
Idk if my neighbor will make it home, as shes not doing too well, but at least if not, the cat has a chance to find a loving family from the shelter, and the donation will help keep her fed until then for sure....NEVER EVER drop a pet off in the middle of nowhere.
Put yourself in others shoes and think how you would feel!
Same goes for you bad ppl in comment sections just being mean. Your in your mums basement at 40 yo for crying out loud! Shut up and grow up. Be kinder and maybe kindness will be delivered back, in the form of an apartment and a job so u have something better to put your energy twards...your future!!
Im so sick of negativity and cruelty...cant we all be good to ourselves and eachother? Its not hard...it should come naturally!
I had to talk to my therapist to sort out my emotions after my play through of this game. I had gone into it completely blind because I had heard it was a narrative driven game, and I VERY much a cat person. Long story short, I cried so hard that my coughing caused a nosebleed and made me pause about halfway through the game... This was a brutal story with a super important message about responsible pet ownership. My only criticism about the story is that they MAKE Dawn2 (or Sunrise as the after credits seen show her new name to be[sad to see Fisk stopped the recording before that scene]) forgive Olive for what she did. Listen, I was willing to forgive her for taking the original Dawn back inside and not knowing it wasn't the cat she had just adopted...But for her to finally realize it and then give us the Tod treatment from Fox & The Hound?! All to save face and not let people know what she did?! No! I am sorry... I feel that is unforgivable. Like, I am glad that Dawn2/Sunrise didn't give up in the street...but the devs could have found her a home with a nice happy family that knows how to treat their pets with respect and love. It is a cute game and a cute message at the end of the game about home being "where you are needed most"...and I will still play the game with my siblings and share my trauma with them when they come home next weekend...
ima start by saying...ive never been a cat person...i say THAT to say THISSSSSS
for a second there i was begining to think that this pooooor kitty was NEVER gonna catch a break! poor Dawn2....i really thought our luck had changed when that kid came up to us in the park...i stg this hit me alllll in the feelsac....im so glad you played it tho and im happy the cat finally caught a wee bit of good luck her way.....bc SHIIIIT it was getting depressing
Crying bro.... this had me missing my mom so bad. In later years she had a cat that kept her company and was a really good thing for her. She was so good with them, loved them like family. I uh....I was heroine addict at this time and feel so bad for not being around as I should have though I did visit but not enough. Sometimes you don't get another chance you know. I regret that and that she never saw me finally clean up and quit drugs. This game brought all that up but in a good way I suppose. Because I do remember all the laughter and love along with things I'd have done different. Wow, sorry for all that but truth is truth. Anyways good video bro.
Congratulations on fighting through to get clean. I'm sure she'd be extremely proud of you.
Pretty sure she is proud of you
I know its not the same but i was a kid with ptsd. My grandparents saved me from abuse, neglect, and adopted me when i was 7. They passed away when i was 17. Ill forever regret that they only got to see me as a bratty child and teenager, never an adult. I empathize with how you feel. Wanting to make it up to and prove yourself to people who arent here anymore. Its hard to accept
Australian resident here!
Carpet pythons could perhaps swallow a cat, but more likely to get bit by a venomous snake/spider
In some states cats aren’t allowed outside at all. In some states they have a curfew
But it’s more so to protect the wildlife than to protect the cats
Cats kill more wildlife than wildlife kill cats
Thanks for that info! :)
@Fisk cats have faster reflexes than a rattlesnake. So they can dodge snake bites usually. There's videos explaining it on UA-cam, it's pretty cool.
Just curious as I grew up in Texas and seen cats do some weird stuff. I never saw a cat take on a venomous snake but have watched them take on snakes, bapping them in the head with their paws while jumping out of strike range of the snake they fighting with? Hands down nothing to do with the game but just these comments the craziest thing I've seen hands down and if I hadn't have seen it with my own eyes. I've been around chickens and turkeys a good bit of my life. I was in my 30's and helping my mother add another nesting box in her chicken coop that she had outside the coop on the ground. We picked the nesting box up to take it in the coop, well apparently some mice had built their little house underneath. I knew chickens would eat bugs. Folks, I'm telling you what I saw a chicken do with a full grown mouse when lifted up that box was straight up Jurassic Park! That chicken grabbed that mouse, tilted its head up, opened it mouth and goodbye mouse. Even my dad acted like he had never seen a chicken do that. We just kinda looked at each other like did we just see what we think we saw? Yep, that chicken just T Rexed that mouse. If I hadn't of seen it I probably wouldn't believe it but that hen just grabbed, head up and swallowed that mouse down whole!

Oh gosh this tears me apart. I lost both my fur babies and watching this is breaking my heart. It hurts to see how sad the cat we play as is. I just want to hug the cat we play as and comfort her.
Sadly when the animal has been neglected, abandoned, misunderstood and treated like vermin by the wrong people over and over again and again, they may quickly lose their hope of humanity, becoming more cynical, bitter, unforgiving and vindictive.
That cats (as well other animals that suffer through this same thing) they’ll view all humans as unfair, uncaring, unsympathetic, indifferent, lying, ungrateful, backstabbing, abusive, tormentive, prideful, self-centered creatures that don’t deserve their affection, care, companionship and loyalty.
@@eduardosolis6383 that is too true, but god this video hurt so much to watch. I helped a stray cat at one point that soon trusted me with meeting her kittens. I think helping animals is the best thing you could do do
Wow, this game put me through all the feels. I had a similar experience with family getting rid of my pets. Had my mother watch my cats and dog when I got stationed in Korea, she gottgave them away. Never was able to get them back either.
Aussie here, cats are actually devastating for our native animals so the advice is to keep them inside to protect native species. Fun fact though, cats are immune to the venom of the Funnel Web Spider, which is what most people consider the big threat aside from the Eastern Brown Snakes and Red Bellied Blacks
I know some areas its illegal in Oz to allow cats to wander. Catios are a great option and it's much better for a cat's health to stop them wandering around eating who knows what. Very sensible!
It's the same in the US.
They kill off wildlife but also spread diseases among each other. Like feline herpes and HIV/AIDS.
We have a huge feral/stray problem our local shelters have a "kitten" season when most cats that haven't been caught, fixed, and released are having babies. My sister started fostering pregnant/postpartum strays and their kitten through one of the shelters at her work. The clients help clean, feed, and socialize them for adoption.
My BF, roommate and I adopted 2 brothers from one of her foster sets. Part of the adoption process is signing that you will NEVER let them outside. Our 2 boys have herpes from their mom and get flare ups where they need medication.
We don't say Aussie man like that's what people think we say...
Weird that they're immune.. Dingoes are also a problem for you guys though, no? They're invasive as well.
@@LeBongFairy I think the difference with the dingo is that they've become a balance to the ecosystem in the absence of large predators on the main continent since their primary prey leans towards roos/wallabies, and other medium to large herbivores, helping to manage roaming populations of wildlife where they become dangerous to humans and livestock and would otherwise be mass-killed BY humans because of tha (dingoes still invasive, but not destructive from what I understood; please correct, natives, where wrong!). They've adapted to it but aren't as viciously destructive in the way the cane toad, feral hogs, and feral cats are. Even the cane toad problem, however, is starting to find solutions as the native predators figure out how to eat them (the back-flip technique for example to avoid the poison glands!).
So glad this had a good ending, most the game broke me damn heart lol
Over and over again 😂
What a lovely little game. My cat actually adopted us ha ha. He turned up on our doorstep just 2 weeks after our elderly cat died & he refused to leave. He's been a part of our family now for 12 years.
Just amazing moments for when you needed them most.
Reminds me of when my aunt's cat adopted her... so here's the weird thing.
She had two malamute huskies that had a bit of wolf in them, my family trained and taught them for most part but they were her dogs. They HATED cats, sick, old didn't matter would at least Growl or Lunge to show it. However, this Orange cat they named Fred/Duck came around. Both dogs accepted him as the family in a extremely strange manner. She would've lost her mind without a companion- a month later Bandit; was found dead the next morning. Vet said his heart likely gave out peacefully in his sleep. Lobo the brother went soon after but was put down rather due to a less peaceful fatal condition. Fred popped up and just became apart of the family in a extremely strange magical way. He was there for her when she mourned and helped her through it.
Thing is, those two boys still hated other cats until the end, just gave a weird exception to Fred.
I wish the game would give you the option to yeet Olive's daughter into the abyss, permanently.
this is how i adopted my cat. He showed up at my yard but I already had a similar one, so I decided keep him, which was hard decision but I did it and I don't regret it . This game is really touching
"What do cats dream about?"
I can't speak for cats' actual thoughts, they have no good way to communicate them to us, but my cat sometimes has nightmares where he seems to be fighting something (growls and hisses in his sleep), or where he's looking for someone (contact calls in his sleep). Knowing his history is that he was feral, and was captured with his queen and their kittens, I suspect those nightmares are from his life experiences - he may have been fighting off dogs, foxes, other cats, and maybe he's still looking for his queen and kittens after being separated from them after being captured by a rescue group. Those are the only dreams I'm reasonably sure that's what he's dreaming about, the rest of the time, I have no idea. I haven't seen any dreams that look like they're hunting behavior, there's no 'ekekek' in his sleep, but sometimes twitching paws. I do know he's very distressed when he wakes up from the dreams he's been making contact calls, and comes looking for me making contact calls, and crawls into my lap still making contact calls, and wanting a cuddle.
I've just gotten near the end of this video. I have nothing nice at all to say about Olive. Nothing. Realistically, when a cat is taken out of the environment and dumped into the wilderness, it doesn't survive. Do. Not. Ever. Do. This.
Your comment hit me hard in the feels. Its rare that we get to know the history of our rescues. Once we do, we understand they have a much greater emotion range than we could ever imagine. My rescue got lost for 3 weeks and when he was finally returned home he was traumatised for a while afterwards. Its obvious to anyone who wants to understand that its a hard life on the streets.
Sometimes Its really blatantly obvious that theyre chewing on some dreamland food 😂 or running, its adorable
I think I'm gonna cry. This was really sad story of a cat. That daughter was a real b****rd...
I enjoyed watching it through.
Greetings from Finland!
That ending hit me hard...😢,thank you fisk....👑
As someone who grew up with cats but couldn’t have one for the last 11 years because most houses in Japan don’t allow pets and I’ll never have even a glimpse of a stable life with visa tied to continuous short-term job contracts, just by reading the comments I’m not sure if I can watch this without getting absolutely enraged 😊
(Spoiler ahead)
edit: ew, as predicted, this game made me extremely angry. Eff both ladies to the moon and back, have zero sympathy for either for them. Leaving a home raised pet in the wild can be a death sentence, old woman could have brought back the cat to the shelter or tried to find her a new home. Hated the ending, these two cats deserve a loving safe home with someone who’s not a complete piece of trash instead of going back to this undeserving waste of (virtual) oxygen and her useless daughter.
Ive never cried so much because of a game as i did with this one... omg that was a rollercoaster of heartbreak. Brb hugging my orange tabby boy extra hard rn
Had to be one of the best, most beautiful cat stories I've ever heard/watched. Thanks for sharing this playthrough!! Such a beautiful message as well.
Sadly, she knowns she had thrown away the real Dawn as the copy cat behave better than Dawn.
I have to agree with everyone else. As someone that lives on a dead end road in the middle of no where, I get a lot of dumped animals. I have 14 cats two dogs, a pig and a rooster. I don't have neighbors so where the heck did they come from?? People think , they dump and animal out in the middle of no where that they will find a house .... no they die of starvation or to a larger predator. But out here they find my house. The pig was a surprise, it's a tiny mini pig. I've had her for about 3 months and she's still tiny and cute. Smaller than an average house cat, litter trained. Yeah I'm still scratching my head over that one. I have to say this story line is shit. Instead of excepting responsibility for your own mistakes and taking the cat back to the shelter, rehoming, or just taking care of both cats, you chose to dump it. So many choices and so many people willing to take in a animal. Sorry I won't be buying this game for this reason. Just plain bad writing and story line. If you would have just tweaked it a little and made it the cats choice to scurry off some where people wouldn't be this upset.
I didn't think I was going to like this but found myself unable to stop watching lol. Great looking game and a amazing story line 👏
As an Aussie it's very frowned upon to let your cats outside. Not only because of snakes or dangerous animals but because the cats hunt native wildlife like birds and other small creatures. So if you let your cat outside people in the area will look down on you for doing it and tell you to not do this.
this ^^ though usually theres extremely little concern about snakes or spiders hurting your cat, more the usual cars, dogs, and messed up people concerns
so many beautiful species that are threatened by outdoor cats & many that are threats to cats. Its a bad idea in every country
Thankfully, in my area there’s rarely any snakes, maybe a few spiders, but they’re not deadly. I have this one cat, he already has an owner, my neighbor, but he’s been surviving for awhile! He was adopted a couple weeks ago. And he mostly stays outside, rarely going inside. Our neighborhood isn’t that big, but he usually stays close to home. Every so often he’d come around to my house, and we’d feed him. He eats as if he’s never been fed 😂 when we first saw him, though, he was as skinny as can be. That was the start of his adoption, and his owner has been taking care of him ever since. But I think the reason why he was never gaining barely any weight over the past few weeks is because he has either a fast metabolism, or he burns all that fat off within a day 😂 he’s not like a house cat, laying around all day. He exercises. That’s what you don’t have to worry about in outdoor cats, they can thrive on their own, if something goes wrong, then yeah, sure, bring them to the vet if you have the money. Sadly, my cat couldn’t be saved… she was attacked by a dog I presume, her wound was a gruesome sight. Her jaw was literally hanging on by one hinge, and we had to put her out of her misery by ourselves because we just couldn’t afford to get her to a vet and try and save her.
I wasn't sure I would watch the entire video based on the title, boy was I wrong. I couldn't stop watching. Such a roller coaster of emotions narrated brilliantly by Fisk. Also, I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying.
Dang it Fisk,
I just got through to my daughter about why we cant have an orange cat named Bucket and now here you are with another dang cat video 😂
Why can't you?
@@captainsewerrat because we already have a dog and a fish tank in a very small apartment. It would be very crowded to add yet another person to the household
@@Ryukotsusei-f6z That's fair, you can keep a tank safe from cats generally, however getting a cat after you already have a dog can be tricky or even impossible.
@@captainsewerrat yes, and not only that but I already have my hands full with 2 special needs people and a dog with special needs. I dont think I could handle the extra responsibility right now. In the future maybe, but not now.
watching this as a cat lover breaks my heart because iv seen people leave there cats outside in the worst weather and thinking ppl abandon there animals breaks my heart
1:21:52 damn it Fisk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can't believe you used that fart noise in this touching moment between Olive and Dawn
@@FiskI spent the next 30 minutes of the video just constantly laughing 😂😂
I can't get that damn old ladies face out of my head with that fart noise 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This game reminds me of my great grandma and the cat I rescued and brought to her. She told me she couldn’t care for a cat and wasn’t going to have one, but when I came back and said I still hadn’t found a home for her, my granny just said “what?? No she’s staying here.” Ringo is a full grown cat now and my Granny needs her more than ever as she gets older. She’s getting worse and I’m afraid for both me and the cat, but we’re taking care of her the best we can.
For the record, all putting bells on cats does is make them sneakier. Cats will eventually learn to compensate for any ringing so not having a bell actually helps local fauna more than not. Cats aren't so much domesticated as willingly cohabitating with himans. Lol.
Truthfully cats shouldn't go outside at all unless they're on lead imo. They're safer, healthier, and their quality of life is better.
I agree! I walk my cat similar to a dog, but theres no need to force them or drag them along the path, because they dont rely on walks to poop or pee. Theyre just for their enjoyment, enrichment
Nice little game that has double messages... one about home and belonging... another about pets being for life... on a much different note it was nice to hear your accent... I was born in America to a Scandinavian family... everyone is VERY confused by my accent... everyone gets confused by where it is from... hearing yours made me actually hear the version of my own... I keep telling people it's a washed out Norwegian accent... but now I can send them this direction for comparison... hahaha...
I hate this. But in the sense that it so true.
People need to try out and become aware of the animals suffer in silence.
They cannot speak to us an figure things out.
Just like how the cat was constantly being treated horribly by random people.
Anytime I see that I'm just confounded on how people's inability to consider what their actions are doing.
Like what do you hope to accomplish by scaring a stray?
People don't realize even if the stray or wild for the most part thay are domesticated. And those mixed signals are incredibly hard to survive in.
To find food you shoe and combat them they're going to stop and you contributing towards that.
See a stray animal approach you and be friendly to shoot away harshly is only condemning it's a further suffering of starvation or the respond negatively to the next humans they see which would compound the issue further.
I hate the lack of sympathy. Or Awareness
And simply taking them out to a farm.
Where does Less cars or dogs is BS.
Coping.
Does more of other dangerous you would expose them to and the elements.
Soft white and Danny to Winter comes by. Just being out and about just the rain cats can get sick too.
This shit had me crying so much. I can't stand how simple an yet are true this is an that reality hurts.
Mae looks like a hagraven. Also i assume when a cat growls in their aleep, their either dreaming of hunting, fending off othher cats or protecting their prey from being stolen.
I cried the entire last half of this video! Might e been my shitty day at work or just needed the cry, either way, hits home!
I just played this and cried (literally) half of the game. A solid straight hour+. Had to immediately come watch you play it after. Such a great, emotional game. Did you happen to see the end scene? It's Olive sitting outside with both cats wearing different colored collars, and she names the new cat/you Sunrise. :)
There's a special place in hell for people who abandon animals.
I've been waiting for this! I've had on my steam wishlist after I watched you play the demo. This is gonna make me weep like a baby
I & my family are foster fails...we've rescued 5 litters (14 cats, total) from sickness & injury, and somehow wound up keeping 11 of them, many with ongoing issues. We made the commitment to rescue & care for each of them. Full stop. No "oops", no take-backs, no excuses. We made sure we had the resources (time, money, attention) before committing to our furry babies. My oldest cat is 22 years old, my youngest pair are 2 years old. I'm committed...or should I be committed? 😸
Loving it so far. I have one problem with it though.. We don't have rabies in Australia.
omg im so saaad.. i couldnt help but cry and then my cat came over to try comfort me.. istg.. ive never wanted to hug him and tell him over and over again how much i lv him and am thankful to have him by myside.. even if he is a huge pain in the butt sometime.. 😭
What a profound and thought-provoking game! I enjoyed watching you play it, thank you!
eyyyyy nice! Also Dawn feels the same way i do about phonecalls, the devil!
This was a rollercoaster of emotions, so much so in finale i cried. No pet deserves that.
I think the paintings burning is showing the hate and betrayal that the cats feeling
Fisk, you do a great job of balancing your anger and sadness, i appreciate it, because i couldn't do what you do xD
That was a messed up story, first having lost my mom to cancer and knowing the memory damage that comes from so many prescriptions, also the irrational behaviors (I.e. driving your cat to the wilderness "before mae wakes up"). That was a tough watch but i really love the creator's POV on adoption and how meaningful we really are to our fur babies. poor Dawn's :(
Keep up your great content! i hope you and fooster make some more vids together soon :)
"We're not gonna be playing fetch."
Not true. My cat does it all the time, mostly with milk rings.
Dude I'm only halfway through this video and I'm fkn sobbing 😭
I was going to buy this game but its too sad. All the poor cat wants it somone to love it, my wife and i have 4 cats and i couldn't imagine just dropping one off in the woods and driving away, even when they do something bad
This marks the first game to make me cry or come close to crying. Maybe its because of my current mental state being not to good. I would actually get this game and play it myself if I find it on ps store and can afford it.
Watching this with Mango, my girl orange kitty just hits different
This went straight to my heart sick that you played this and it came out just today, and chose that color of cat too, had to put my cat down today that had the same color, nice that the story got a good ending there.
This past winter a stray cat showed up at our house several times. Gave him food and water and on super cold nights I would put him in my basement with a litter box, food and water. I have an indoor cat that does not like other cats so being in the house upstairs was no option. I had posted online and contact animal control trying to find the owner, if there was one. It broke my heart that I couldn't keep him if he was a stray, so I offered what I could. A month went by and I got a message from the cats owner that he is a freeloader and during that time he kept losing his collar. They assured us he is well fed and cared for but that he is a mostly outdoor cat and they cant control where he goes. So, Willy the freeloading cat still comes by. I still give him pats and talk to him but no more food at our house so he doesn't visit as often 😅
I'm at 1hr 34 and I'm literally in bits... man, this better have a happy ending
😭
Man, F this game. She's not sorry at all!! She made the choice to adopt her and her solution is to ABANDON THE CAT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. No family, no food, no home. Alone and scared. I'm pissed. I really liked Olive in the beginning but she's cruel and heartless. I hate her.
This game made me cry.... it just reminded me of my cat who lived a full life with me and passed away a few years ago... his name was J.B. (Jet Black ) i miss him dearly.... but it also brought back bad memories of when i was a lot younger and my father and brother did this to a cat... dumped him... i could never forgive them and they did it under my nose while i was asleep ... a few weeks before it happened they were talking about trying to get rid of the cat because it pee'd everywhere in the house... so they wanted to put it into a shelter... so i told them i'll help look for shelters and find a good home... every day i called people and tried... then one night they did that to the cat because they gave up finding a shelter... they refused to tell me where they dropped the cat off and i drove everywhere all day for a a few weeks all over looking for that cat ... and nothing... i looked for so long ..... watching this made me ball my eyes out because i blamed myself that i couldn't find the cat.... i just hope it got to someplace safe but this haunts me to this day and i cry every time being reminded of it... this game was extremely tough for me
Fun fact, a cats reflexes are almost always faster than a snakes so it's more of a worry them getting hit by a car than eaten by a danger noodle 😅
Danger noodle☠️🤣🤣
Well dammit I wasn't expecting to get hit in the feels so much with this one!
Right in the meow meow
Thanks dude this made me cry so damn hard😭
Hits really hard in the feelsack doesnt it
Beautiful... Just beautiful
Had me tearing up near the end
Can honestly relate with dawn a lot
did Fisk actually bleep out a swear? I'm so impressed! you've come so far, Grasshopper!
FISK! You killed that old lady
I’m late catching the video.
But has anyone questioned how Olive was able to drive away so fast after ditching Dawn 2?
I mean…the amount of obstacles in the roadway.
Man this was amazing I cried on some parts and oml! I wonder if somehow they will make a number 2
Aussie here.
To answer the questions about cat's safety in Australia, it depends on where you live, and how close/far away from cities you are. Snakes are more unlikely to be seen the closer you get to the city. As someone who lives in the suburbs, the biggest threat to a cat is cars and dogs.
I can’t with this game it makes me so sad I cried! 😭 My kitten went to heaven earlier this year and I’m still very emotional 😭😭😭 But right now we have 5 cats a dog and chickens at home. I also feed the neighborhood strays. Makes me feel sadder to think there’s so many other strays out there fighting for their life everyday. 😢
A comment about cat dreams: while we can't know for sure, we can make educated guesses based on knowledge of cat behaviour. My cats both have what I call 'milk dreams'. They make sucking sounds while making biscuits (kneading their paws). Their tongues are rounded to form a half circle around an imaginary nipple. Its obvious they are dreaming about suckling. There is plenty of other observable behaviour in their dreams like hissing, running, chirping and meowing... all stuff they do when awake. Watch what your cat does during the day and you'll be able to understand a little more of what they dream about 😊
Also... this game broke me 😭
I love my cat so much. God, this game made me cry, I could never imagine abandoning her like that
This game is tugging at my heart-strings. I miss my cats.
Aussie here. A while back I saw my cat stalking an Eastern Brown in the back yard. They are the 2nd most venomous land snake and I could see it was getting a bit agitated. I called the cat and for the first time in his life he took notice and came to me. .. Phew, crisis averted. The snake wandered off and I never saw him again. The cat, as far as I know, was none the wiser.
