Probably just a good predator. He had legs that were not too short for hunting, the right size to fight off other cats or other animals and his fur had no blank spots in it so he had a good chance to survive the weather changes.
That is because he looks like he has a lot of European wild cat blood in him (fluffy ,more fierce wild and fuzzy face, raccoon tail , mousy brown coat with stripes and speckles)
This happened with my grandpa. Feral cat showed up at our barn. He'd hiss and run away at the sight of anyone for a long time. My grandpa began to feed him. After my grandpa fed him everyday after about 7-8 months, Max the cat developed a soft spot for grandpa. Max will wait everyday at my grandpas front door, and they both walk side by side to the barn together. Max even allows pets, only from grandpa tho. Its the sweetest thing ive ever seen
I normally don’t really like cats because they viciously bite you all the time, but when I cat truly trusts you they are so adorable and there’s no way you can’t love them
Yeah I have a half domestic half bobcat and at first he’d scratch me if I touched his belly but after a while he would voluntarily show his stomach. But the reason they are skeptical and physical about their stomach is because in the wild, their stomach is the softest and quickest way to their major organs.
I have never been a cat person. Three years ago a lady drove slowly by my house and threw a cat out of her car. I had a inside dog who was not cat friendly. A female pregnant cat was now residing in my barn. I now have 5 cats! Her heirs are living a very good life! I am glad that the horrible lady who threw Matilda out chose my house. Yes, I named her.
well she probably wasn't spending more than $30 a month for foods and if that's too much to make a cat's life slightly better than you are a cold person, that's all.
My wife and I took in a feral cat like him. He must've been in a fight with something bigger and badder than him. He had an infected wound on his right front forearm. 14 days in the hospital and some money spent, he came to live with us until he passed last year. We miss you so much Jerry. You were a good companion and a good friend.
Gaining an animal's trust is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. Beautiful cat, beautiful person, a beautiful friendship that will forever be marked in your lives.

I was told that feral tom cats have those puffy cheeks. Makes them look intimidating maybe. My FIV+ stray rescue kitty has them as well and loves getting cheek scritches.
@@aaykay4060 I agree, my cat wasn’t a feral Tom cat but his dad was and he gained some of his features like big cheeks, wide head, big cat, but he’s so cute!!! He looks like a little lion since he’s a long haired cat and the fur around his cheeks just poofs out :D
I'm a security guard in Detroit and we a had a cat everyone one would feed. I use to bring food to him and he refused to let me pet him for months. After about half a year and a bunch of nicks he finally let me pet him. The next day I go to work and am looking for him and see him dead in the road hit by a car. I still tear up thinking about it. I grabbed a shovel and made him a grave. RIP Stoney I still miss you bud The life of a stray is hard and every little bit counts when looking out for one
@@-M0LE He's FIV positive, and she helps rehab lots of cats, and can't expose them to the possibility of contracting it, so she made the sacrifice to let him go knowing he will be able to find a home now. You on the other hand don't sound house trained, and will probably never find a good home.
Had a similar experience, except ours hid under a couch 24/7 for a month or two after we brought her inside...it's been a year and she follows everyone room to room to see what they're up to, I've never met a more social and affectionate cat in my life!
It took 2 years to tame our feral Tom. He lived 15 years after that. He was a spectacular force who was worth every second of work to have I'm our lives.
My point exactly!! You are right. It takes 2 yrs or more to domesticate a feral cat. And, sometime they never adapt. This cat looks to well cared for, to be feral. A stray maybe, but not feral
Took two years for one of mine to even look at me through a window, another four years to get him inside occasionally, and another two years permanent. Lost him two years ago, miss that guy so much.
Thanks for the info, I was thinking 7 months seemed so short for a truly feral cat. I'm at month 10 with my feral cat. She lets me pet her when she's eating and has learnt to meow and play from her adoptive sister, but that's about it so far.
@@tanshaomala I had one feral that finally let me pet him 3 times while he ate. Every night, 3 times and that was my limit - despite having him in our yard for years.
That’s what my fiancé did with my cat. My cat was suspicious to strangers and refused to go up to anyone he didn’t know. I knew my fiancé wasn’t a “cat” person. He would let my cat sniff him and let my cat come up to him. He would never approach my cat. One day my cat jumped on my lap with my fiancé sitting next me and I told him to hold out his hand to see what my cat would do. He did and my cat gently rubbed his cheek against my fiancé’s hand. I was so excited, but my fiancé pulled his hand back when my cat pulled his head away. Next time my fiancé came over to visit and was sitting next to me on the couch my cat jumped in his lap and curled up beside him purring. That’s when my fiancé first ever pet my cat. Now my cat is constantly trying to get in my fiancé’s lap when he comes. I even get jealous sometimes that my cat doesn’t want in my lap when he comes visit. 😂😂
Yea. I've done that with 2 'street' cats in my neighbourhood in the past couple of years since I moved here. One, Mr Grumpy, was a senior who'd been fending for himself on the streets apparently for 7+ years. I felt so sorry for him and took to feeding him daily but couldn't let him in at the time as my own cat, Lottie, hated other cats but when she very sadly died, out of the blue, within a year I was able to encourage Grumpy to overcome his fears if strangers, noises, etc, and come down the corridor to my apartment where I would then feed him. It took a lot of patience to help him overcome his skittishness but I was the only person he trusted and most other people scared him. It was clear he'd had a home before as he used the litter tray immediately after eating without me having to show him where it was! He still had the freedom to come and go as he wanted and I didn't want to just keep him in all the time as he liked to sometimes roam a bit! I had the privilege of looking after Mr Grumpy until the end of August 2021 when he suddenly took ill, I think having a series of strokes, and had to be euthanised. I was heartbroken and he was such a unique, quirky little boy. I'd also been feeding another cat, Boo Boo, and since Mr Grumpy died I've also, with much patience and over many weeks, been able to encourage him to sometimes come in for his food as well. He's still extremely skittish though and bolts at the first sign of anyone else around, noises, etc, but with me he stands on his back legs to reach up and 'kiss' me when I bend down to him, he touches mu face with his paw, etc. He's so sweet! A few months ago a neighbour of mine had been interested in adopting him but her personality wasn't the right fit for him as she was too impatient when he wouldn't come to her, her voice was too loud when she was calling him, etc, and she just scared him off. So, it does take patience, time and a calm manner to help skittish, nervous animals to gain trust and overcome their fears. Also, I've found that with particularly nervous cats when they do allow you to touch them, at their own pace and without rushing them, it's best to avoid suddenly stroking them on top of their heads, especially when they're eating, as that can startle them. Gently stroking them from their necks down to their tails is best and the more you can do that the better, of course, as they get used to the touch and enjoy it. I still have a lot more 'work' to do with Boo Boo as he only comes into my flat, mainly late at night when less people are around, for about 10 minutes at time to eat his food and hang out with me a little bit. He does though roll around on his back at times though with his legs in the air, showing that he's happy!
When a stray cat comes to your house and decides he/ she wants to stay, as happened with us, it's such a wonderful feeling that you've gained the trust of a sentient being who needs a home, trust and love.
For such a macho looking kitty, his meows are sweet as honey. Turned out he IS sweet as honey. Thank you all for talking such kind and loving care of him. I hope he's in his forever home now, happy and healthy.
@@lovealways2609 I was going to write a long winded comment based on what is known about the evolution of the modern domestic cat, but thankfully the Internet ate it ... Bottom line is, remarkably, life seems to be especially harsh for unfixed, male cats, even in the concrete jungle, especially, much like solitary male lions, finding a pride to join, given the natural inclination to reproduce, is pretty damn tough, especially when the only way is to defeat a male lion of a preexisting pride. Granted, domestic cats are more like tigers, and leopards, in that they are more adept at being a solitary hunter, but the constant toll of eaking out a territory, and defending it against other, intruding male cats, whilst finding enough to eat, and finding unfixed female cats to mate with, is extremely stressful, even at a genetic level. In fact, cat behaviourists* theorised the reason why the life span of a feral domestic cat is so much shorter than one kept largely indoors, is because of the sheer stress feral cats, especially male cats, go through, is enough to cause, essentially, premature ageing. Hence why he looks way older than he actually is, as he had had a rather hard knock life ... [*= Yup, there are actual PhD programs in Cat/Feline Behaviour. Like all STEM PhDs, it isn't as easy as it sounds, but, if successful, you not only get to call yourself Dr. for real, but you get to study cats all day ... which, if had it been more of a thing that I knew of back when I was 16, in 1990, it something I would definitely have aim for ...]
Yes! Unfixed males make too much testosterone steroid which makes their face round (like moon face like Cushings Disease) and other males don’t like them, they’re often solo their whole life because other cats don’t like them, so they can’t find a tribe. And they “feel” more aggressive inside and they don’t like that feeling either. Even human men don’t like being on steroids. Neutering males before 1years offers them a much more pleasant life.
@@nigelft I work with feral and stray cats, and I have seen several males have that ‘chubby face’ without it being body fat. They often get it from scar tissue and ear mites. Male cats often scratch eachother in the face when they fight. To me he definitely have that ‘look’.
my friend’s cat came and rubbed his body against my leg once and then i accidentally made his tail get caught in the door. not sure if me and the cat are still buddies.
Cats like dogs are very forgiving, next time just sit by the cat and let it come to you. The best thing is to play with cat. Again don't pick up the cat. You need to let the cat come to you. Cats are very loving but sometimes they need some space.
@@dogeye2023 that's good :) the belly is the most vunerable place on a cat (And many animals). They also show love by rubbing against your leg or body I think. And when they rub their face on you they're marking you as theirs :D
Agreed! Looks like his left ear might have been clipped before she tamed him a bit. If so, he had been previously trapped and fixed. His weight looked pretty good, so he was eating regularly somewhere.
I know but i think its our world view that tells us you have to do something to earn love, but love isn't really like that at all, its each other's being ness that we love. Not enough children receive that sense of being enough without doing something to earn the approval. On the other hand Dwight is very well behaved so he is doing something by omission. He's not behaving badly! ❤️
The neighborhood stray became mine too. She doesn’t like anyone, other animals, nothing, not even her own kitties (she’s fixed now). She’s slept on my legs while I was sleeping. 😭 I love her so much! My little guard dog kitty 🐱
Good for you!♥️♥️ He can live a long & happy life🤗. I have, or should say had 5 positive kitties that all tested positive... All rescues... 3 sadly have passed but 2 are still thriving & doing great... My 3 babies that passed had 9+ wonderful yrs with me. I miss them so much but know that their life was happy... Life on the streets is not kind to animals. God bless you♥️
They left us on kind of a cliffhanger here. I'd like to see a follow up video of him to see how things turned out for him. I really hope he went to a good home.
My cat was FIV positive & he lived to be 18 years old! He was such a lover. When he got sick my poodle would sleep in his bed with him & nuzzle up to him. It was so hard to let him go.. I haven't had another since he passed, but I still have my sweet poodle & I know she misses him.♥️
I know what you mean. I lost my old dog a year ago and my younger dog has really struggled without her. He’s just about ready for a new sibling (a cat, I’m not ready for another dog yet) but I’m waiting until after we’ve moved as he doesn’t seem to cope well with change, but once he’s settled at the new place, I’ll find a playmate for him.
I got my FIV positive cat 6 years ago, so he's 11 or 12, I was worried he wouldn't last but loving care goes a long way. He's going strong and a super loving dude like Dwight. Give the FIV cat a chance
@@anaysayersyes I’m pretty sure it’s just an incurable disease that gives them a really weak immune system, which is why their life expectancy is shorter
I adopted an FIV senior cat who was abandoned in the park when he was probably 10 years old, he stayed with me for another 6 years until he passed in my living room, he was my soul mate. That's him on my picture. I have since adopted a girl cat who was born at the shelter. I hope Dwight finds his forever home, he is adorable.
Yes, I had an FIV positive cat as well. He lived a good long life with me. A healthy diet along with some supplements ( Vitamin C, etc..) really helped him to flourish.
Dwight, you are a proper handsome little man buddy. I hope you find a wonderful forever home with good kind people who will show you all the time, love and security you deserve 😊❤😊❤😊
@@moniquem783 I have an FIV cat. I adopted her at about 2 and she's now around 11 (she was a stray so don't know her exact age). She is an indoor cat but I live in a flat so thats ideal and was the reason I chose an FIV cat. (I'm in the UK and here they rehome them as indoor only cats.) The only issue she has is a seasonal allergy that makes her ears a bit itchy.
@@lunaxx4119 oh that’s all? I was imagining nursing them through pretty bad illness! Thank you. That’s really helpful. Here they don’t say they must be indoor cars, only that they should be only cats or that other cats in the home should also have FIV. I can see the wisdom of indoor only though. Not sure if that will work as I need a dog door. I’ll see what my next house is like before I decide about it. I’m waiting until after I move to get a cat anyway as my dog doesn’t cope well with change so I want him to be settled after the move before I give him a new sibling.
@@moniquem783 the indoor part is because they can potentially infect other cats - although only through blood i think - and because their immune system is lower. If you have a garden that they couldn't get out of that would probably be a safe compromise.
@@lunaxx4119 actually I went back and looked at the listing again and it does say he needs to stay inside. The way it was written was sort of like an afterthought rather than an absolutely crucial piece of information, but it was there. I will see what my next house is like and decide if it’s an option based on that. Thanks for answering. Much appreciated. Give your kitty a smooch and a nose bump from me 💗
Dwight was not at all feral - he is too vocal and affectionate. He was living on survival mode - so he had to be on high alert at all times. He was abandoned or lost before he was rescued. Thanks for saving this beautiful Chunky Boi. 💖😸💖
Yes. I am in the process of rescuing a cat that took about two years to finally drop its guard and approach me; one day out of the blue meowing for my help as I called my own cats inside for the evening. Someone had trapped and released him, as I noticed the notch in his ear, but he was definitely not feral, just super shy and abandoned or lost. I call him Scaredy.
One thousand percent agree. I really wish this channel and the people on it would stop calling these cats feral because they are not! They might be stray, or abandoned, skittish or scared but they are NOT feral cats.
General rule: If it's meowing at you, it's a stray. If it isn't, it's Feral. Cats have to learn how to 'talk' to humans and this chunky boy started meowing as soon as he got over the hissing, so you're right, 99% chance he's stray, not feral.
Gotta love those big, meathead tabby cats, they're awesome pets. We had an orange tabby named Brody who had a huge head, it was 2x larger than it should have been, and he weighed 22lbs (10kg). He just showed up on the porch one day and never left,
I love tabbies and have had 3 up to now. I do love all cats, and animals in general, but I do have a real soft spot for the tabbies. My last one, Lottie, was also fairly big, although not as big as Dwight seems to be, and was gorgeous too. I miss her so much. :-(
1:38 killed me with those WIGGLES. To see Dwight go from being terrified of human interaction to happily enjoying belly rubs (which even some of the friendliest cats don't allow) is something else. BTW for those of you looking to bond with cats - the woman in this video keeps mentioning how Dwight didn't like being looked at. This is something common with cats. Staring is considered predatory behavior to them. Instead, offer them a slow blink, which sends the message that you're safe to be around.
I just adopted a 2 year old girl from the shelter. She love loves my senior male but does not like humans. I have had her 3 months. I can't wait for interaction.
@@purerachet7715 Thank you for being patient with her :) Love and trust take time to build for both people and animals who have been hurt before, but it is definitely worth the wait. She is lucky to have you and her new senior pal!
I’ve found it’s the tone of your voice that makes all the difference when being around cats. A soft toned, quiet melodic voice works wonders if you get it right! I’ve had 13 cats over the years and worked out the vocal “code” when meeting strange cats for the first time….and it’s very effective. And kneeling down closer to their level without forcing the issue, is also a good idea.
We had a stray come around and he had the biggest face ever, after two months of feeding him outside he trusted us enough to come in and live with us. When we took him to the vet to get him fixed the vet told us that male cats faces get really big until they are fixed and sure enough his face got normal sized within a few weeks.
I took a young stray to the humane society a few years ago. I called a week later to check on the cat and they told me that she had been FIV positive so they put her down. I was devastated. I'll never take another stray there.
You can't put a price on freedom, espacially with a cat that tasted it his enterely life. And she took 7 months to gain his trust but didn't make sure he will have an home.
That's how it was from the moment our cat, Midnight came to us. She was so shy & kept getting closer & closer. Thankfully, Rosie, our Calico got her to get closer to me. Then, she became adjusted to us & has been with us since then.
I used to have a cat just liked him. I was 11 years old when I first met him. He was afraid of me and ran underneath the deck. He did meow a few minutes and I was just talking to him. He came out and started to cuddled with me. He even slept on the door mat near the patio door. It was my fault on him. He even liked my sister and parents. That was late September 1981. He was so sweet and friendly stray cat that met other kids in the neighborhood. It took a month and half to adopted him into our home. He even gotten along with our 1st cat,too. I named him Roughneck when he was a stray but, when he was adopted my mother called him Ruffy for being so sweet and friendly cat. He was a cute red tabby cat.
I fostered 3 feral kittens i found in my shed. They droped out within 2 days. But probably cause kittens. Still crazy how cats just understand how litter boxes work .
As someone who also slowly took in a skiddish stray, this story really hits me. Its always so nice to take in a floofy bud and give them a loving home. Watching them transform into a friend that has full trust in you is amazing. ❤
An Act of Kindness, goes such a long way! Some people may say that it is only a Cat! Dwight is a living Animal, and deserves a safe life! Thank You for the Video; it is Heartwarming!
He showed his belly, the biggest sign of trust, the belly keeps all the organs safe with means big fluffy weak spot, so if the belly is up, there is full trust and the cat relaxes around you and knows "fluff is safe" 😻
I hope you can have a cat some day ❤ I got a male cat last year. Ever since he has been my baby and best friend and lights up my entire life. He gives unconditional love and so much joy, my heart is full ❤ I recommend you to get one. Males can be most easy going.
It takes literally months and months and months for a cat to come around To trust you. I have experience. I have a feral myself but thank you so much for taking him in and feeding him, he’s a beautiful baby. You did not give up on him when most people would.

Dwight is the chunkiest stray cat I've ever seen. Missing meals was not his main problem as a stray.
Probably just a good predator. He had legs that were not too short for hunting, the right size to fight off other cats or other animals and his fur had no blank spots in it so he had a good chance to survive the weather changes.
Hello how are you doing?
He's not even fat, he's just *big* like, damn, a meaty boi. That's a hunter for sure.
I was thinking he was like that bc she was feeding him.
I know a lot of people who feed cats on the streets. Under feeding is usually not a concern. It’s a lack of attention to medical issues.
He looks like the type of cat to think that identity theft is not a joke.

Had a similar experience, except ours hid under a couch 24/7 for a month or two after we brought her inside...it's been a year and she follows everyone room to room to see what they're up to, I've never met a more social and affectionate cat in my life!
It took 2 years to tame our feral Tom. He lived 15 years after that. He was a spectacular force who was worth every second of work to have I'm our lives.
My point exactly!! You are right. It takes 2 yrs or more to domesticate a feral cat. And, sometime they never adapt. This cat looks to well cared for, to be feral. A stray maybe, but not feral
Took two years for one of mine to even look at me through a window, another four years to get him inside occasionally, and another two years permanent. Lost him two years ago, miss that guy so much.
Thanks for the info, I was thinking 7 months seemed so short for a truly feral cat. I'm at month 10 with my feral cat. She lets me pet her when she's eating and has learnt to meow and play from her adoptive sister, but that's about it so far.
@@tanshaomala I had one feral that finally let me pet him 3 times while he ate. Every night, 3 times and that was my limit - despite having him in our yard for years.
@@tanshaomala why what how can a cat learn to meow? I mean I think they learn that when they are growing
I absolutely love how she earned his trust. She did it on his terms and was very patient.
Seriously, 7 months is a commitment. Goes to show no cat is a lost cause- they just need time and patience.
That is the only way with the cats - on their own terms ... Otherwise, cat will never apritiate you
That’s what my fiancé did with my cat. My cat was suspicious to strangers and refused to go up to anyone he didn’t know. I knew my fiancé wasn’t a “cat” person. He would let my cat sniff him and let my cat come up to him. He would never approach my cat. One day my cat jumped on my lap with my fiancé sitting next me and I told him to hold out his hand to see what my cat would do. He did and my cat gently rubbed his cheek against my fiancé’s hand. I was so excited, but my fiancé pulled his hand back when my cat pulled his head away. Next time my fiancé came over to visit and was sitting next to me on the couch my cat jumped in his lap and curled up beside him purring. That’s when my fiancé first ever pet my cat. Now my cat is constantly trying to get in my fiancé’s lap when he comes. I even get jealous sometimes that my cat doesn’t want in my lap when he comes visit. 😂😂
Yea. I've done that with 2 'street' cats in my neighbourhood in the past couple of years since I moved here. One, Mr Grumpy, was a senior who'd been fending for himself on the streets apparently for 7+ years. I felt so sorry for him and took to feeding him daily but couldn't let him in at the time as my own cat, Lottie, hated other cats but when she very sadly died, out of the blue, within a year I was able to encourage Grumpy to overcome his fears if strangers, noises, etc, and come down the corridor to my apartment where I would then feed him. It took a lot of patience to help him overcome his skittishness but I was the only person he trusted and most other people scared him. It was clear he'd had a home before as he used the litter tray immediately after eating without me having to show him where it was! He still had the freedom to come and go as he wanted and I didn't want to just keep him in all the time as he liked to sometimes roam a bit! I had the privilege of looking after Mr Grumpy until the end of August 2021 when he suddenly took ill, I think having a series of strokes, and had to be euthanised. I was heartbroken and he was such a unique, quirky little boy. I'd also been feeding another cat, Boo Boo, and since Mr Grumpy died I've also, with much patience and over many weeks, been able to encourage him to sometimes come in for his food as well. He's still extremely skittish though and bolts at the first sign of anyone else around, noises, etc, but with me he stands on his back legs to reach up and 'kiss' me when I bend down to him, he touches mu face with his paw, etc. He's so sweet! A few months ago a neighbour of mine had been interested in adopting him but her personality wasn't the right fit for him as she was too impatient when he wouldn't come to her, her voice was too loud when she was calling him, etc, and she just scared him off. So, it does take patience, time and a calm manner to help skittish, nervous animals to gain trust and overcome their fears. Also, I've found that with particularly nervous cats when they do allow you to touch them, at their own pace and without rushing them, it's best to avoid suddenly stroking them on top of their heads, especially when they're eating, as that can startle them. Gently stroking them from their necks down to their tails is best and the more you can do that the better, of course, as they get used to the touch and enjoy it. I still have a lot more 'work' to do with Boo Boo as he only comes into my flat, mainly late at night when less people are around, for about 10 minutes at time to eat his food and hang out with me a little bit. He does though roll around on his back at times though with his legs in the air, showing that he's happy!
After he trusted her. He looked so happy. Very cute potato. He’s smile is so bright and big. Happy boi.

I was going to write a long winded comment based on what is known about the evolution of the modern domestic cat, but thankfully the Internet ate it ...
Bottom line is, remarkably, life seems to be especially harsh for unfixed, male cats, even in the concrete jungle, especially, much like solitary male lions, finding a pride to join, given the natural inclination to reproduce, is pretty damn tough, especially when the only way is to defeat a male lion of a preexisting pride.
Granted, domestic cats are more like tigers, and leopards, in that they are more adept at being a solitary hunter, but the constant toll of eaking out a territory, and defending it against other, intruding male cats, whilst finding enough to eat, and finding unfixed female cats to mate with, is extremely stressful, even at a genetic level. In fact, cat behaviourists* theorised the reason why the life span of a feral domestic cat is so much shorter than one kept largely indoors, is because of the sheer stress feral cats, especially male cats, go through, is enough to cause, essentially, premature ageing.
Hence why he looks way older than he actually is, as he had had a rather hard knock life ...
[*= Yup, there are actual PhD programs in Cat/Feline Behaviour. Like all STEM PhDs, it isn't as easy as it sounds, but, if successful, you not only get to call yourself Dr. for real, but you get to study cats all day ... which, if had it been more of a thing that I knew of back when I was 16, in 1990, it something I would definitely have aim for ...]
well, judging from his chubby face, I think he was not totally unhappy with living outside.
Yes! Unfixed males make too much testosterone steroid which makes their face round (like moon face like Cushings Disease) and other males don’t like them, they’re often solo their whole life because other cats don’t like them, so they can’t find a tribe. And they “feel” more aggressive inside and they don’t like that feeling either. Even human men don’t like being on steroids. Neutering males before 1years offers them a much more pleasant life.
@@nigelft I work with feral and stray cats, and I have seen several males have that ‘chubby face’ without it being body fat. They often get it from scar tissue and ear mites. Male cats often scratch eachother in the face when they fight. To me he definitely have that ‘look’.
We humans are weird, the more something or someone rejects us the more we want them to accept us. 7 months say it all. For me, it took a year.
For my wife, it took me 2 years...
That is just mean Imagine saying we are weird and you too to a person that doesnt have half of his face but we kinda are mentally

@@moniquem783 I have an FIV cat. I adopted her at about 2 and she's now around 11 (she was a stray so don't know her exact age). She is an indoor cat but I live in a flat so thats ideal and was the reason I chose an FIV cat. (I'm in the UK and here they rehome them as indoor only cats.) The only issue she has is a seasonal allergy that makes her ears a bit itchy.
@@lunaxx4119 oh that’s all? I was imagining nursing them through pretty bad illness! Thank you. That’s really helpful. Here they don’t say they must be indoor cars, only that they should be only cats or that other cats in the home should also have FIV. I can see the wisdom of indoor only though. Not sure if that will work as I need a dog door. I’ll see what my next house is like before I decide about it. I’m waiting until after I move to get a cat anyway as my dog doesn’t cope well with change so I want him to be settled after the move before I give him a new sibling.
@@moniquem783 the indoor part is because they can potentially infect other cats - although only through blood i think - and because their immune system is lower. If you have a garden that they couldn't get out of that would probably be a safe compromise.

Dwight was not at all feral - he is too vocal and affectionate. He was living on survival mode - so he had to be on high alert at all times. He was abandoned or lost before he was rescued. Thanks for saving this beautiful Chunky Boi. 💖😸💖
100% accurate 💕💕💕😍😍😍
Yes. I am in the process of rescuing a cat that took about two years to finally drop its guard and approach me; one day out of the blue meowing for my help as I called my own cats inside for the evening. Someone had trapped and released him, as I noticed the notch in his ear, but he was definitely not feral, just super shy and abandoned or lost. I call him Scaredy.
One thousand percent agree. I really wish this channel and the people on it would stop calling these cats feral because they are not! They might be stray, or abandoned, skittish or scared but they are NOT feral cats.
He was feral but Just a big boy
General rule: If it's meowing at you, it's a stray. If it isn't, it's Feral. Cats have to learn how to 'talk' to humans and this chunky boy started meowing as soon as he got over the hissing, so you're right, 99% chance he's stray, not feral.
What a gorgeous big boy, that round face 🥰
Gotta love those big, meathead tabby cats, they're awesome pets. We had an orange tabby named Brody who had a huge head, it was 2x larger than it should have been, and he weighed 22lbs (10kg). He just showed up on the porch one day and never left,
As well domesticated ferals tend to be some of the biggest cuddle bugs, at least to the ones who earned their trust.
I love tabbies and have had 3 up to now. I do love all cats, and animals in general, but I do have a real soft spot for the tabbies. My last one, Lottie, was also fairly big, although not as big as Dwight seems to be, and was gorgeous too. I miss her so much. :-(
Probably unfixed that why big puffy face
Bruh 10kg is not ancat thats a mountain lion
@@lordpopo4450 Maine Coons often weight 10-12kg (22-25lbs), many really large tabbies do too.
1:38 killed me with those WIGGLES. To see Dwight go from being terrified of human interaction to happily enjoying belly rubs (which even some of the friendliest cats don't allow) is something else. BTW for those of you looking to bond with cats - the woman in this video keeps mentioning how Dwight didn't like being looked at. This is something common with cats. Staring is considered predatory behavior to them. Instead, offer them a slow blink, which sends the message that you're safe to be around.

I just adopted a 2 year old girl from the shelter. She love loves my senior male but does not like humans. I have had her 3 months. I can't wait for interaction.
@@purerachet7715 Thank you for being patient with her :) Love and trust take time to build for both people and animals who have been hurt before, but it is definitely worth the wait. She is lucky to have you and her new senior pal!
I’ve found it’s the tone of your voice that makes all the difference when being around cats. A soft toned, quiet melodic voice works wonders if you get it right!
I’ve had 13 cats over the years and worked out the vocal “code” when meeting strange cats for the first time….and it’s very effective.
And kneeling down closer to their level without forcing the issue, is also a good idea.
BRO I followed his story on facebook before he even allowed pets from her. He's gone on such a journey, now has a happy family. He is the best boy.
Thank you for the update!!
Thank you!!! I was so sad thinking that he did not get adopted until I saw your post. Really appreciate you updating!😅
I hope this is true 😭
He is utterly gorgeous. His face is priceless.
I am a couch potato myself 👏🏻 🛋 🥔 we shall be best buddies 😌
Best comment ever! 🐱❤️
Please see my UA-cam🥰🦆💕
Yeah.I am a fatty too man🤣🥴🥴
couch potato kitties are the best 💗

The bigger the head on a cat, the cuter it is.
Like kryptonite.
Fathead kitties. Addictive. Monstrous cuteness.
Right!?
We had a stray come around and he had the biggest face ever, after two months of feeding him outside he trusted us enough to come in and live with us. When we took him to the vet to get him fixed the vet told us that male cats faces get really big until they are fixed and sure enough his face got normal sized within a few weeks.
pienso igual que tu....son hermosos💕....
I heard that male cat who aren't neutered have big round cheeks due to the testosterone.
My cat "Uncle", AKA Chunkle, got fixed when he was around 19 months but retained that big ol' cute head.
If he's got FIV, then it's a good thing they got him, he'll be better off in a home so he can stay healthy than in the wild.
Also to not spread it to other cats
I took a young stray to the humane society a few years ago. I called a week later to check on the cat and they told me that she had been FIV positive so they put her down. I was devastated. I'll never take another stray there.
You can't put a price on freedom, espacially with a cat that tasted it his enterely life. And she took 7 months to gain his trust but didn't make sure he will have an home.
What's FIV?
@@aussiezambarau HIV for cats.
That's how it was from the moment our cat, Midnight came to us. She was so shy & kept getting closer & closer. Thankfully, Rosie, our Calico got her to get closer to me. Then, she became adjusted to us & has been with us since then.
Oh my gosh 😍 he looks like a real life Garfield
yea, attitude and all 🤭 💗
Please see my UA-cam❤️🥰
😅😜
big Tom
He is such a small cat with that big head. He is definitely a real life Garfield! ❤️❤️❤️
When she said he was estimated to be only two years old I was shocked
Agreed, outdoor cats don't live nearly as long. I'm glad he's found good people to keep him safe during bad weather.
He looked mad old
Me too. I thought he is old 😳
Me too. But shocked in a good way cause now that he's not living outdoors he can hopefully have a good and long life.
Oh, please someone give Dwighty a home. What a darling!
I used to have a cat just liked him. I was 11 years old when I first met him. He was afraid of me and ran underneath the deck. He did meow a few minutes and I was just talking to him. He came out and started to cuddled with me. He even slept on the door mat near the patio door. It was my fault on him. He even liked my sister and parents. That was late September 1981. He was so sweet and friendly stray cat that met other kids in the neighborhood. It took a month and half to adopted him into our home. He even gotten along with our 1st cat,too. I named him Roughneck when he was a stray but, when he was adopted my mother called him Ruffy for being so sweet and friendly cat. He was a cute red tabby cat.
In awe at the size of this lad absolute UNIT of a cat
hmmm if I were living in a bush I'd be skittish to

Dwight: I mean, the freedom was ok. But the heater, the food, the couch, the love. I even have my own servant. Maybe I'll just stick around.
Feral Cats are so much harder to adopt out but he's such a sweetie - I hope he finds a home!
You need a cat. He is perfect!!
I was hoping she'd keep him. 💖🐈💖
He’s not feral now - he’s a love bug and I don’t know who could resist his funny cute face and fluffy tummy 🥰
I fostered 3 feral kittens i found in my shed. They droped out within 2 days. But probably cause kittens. Still crazy how cats just understand how litter boxes work .
As someone who also slowly took in a skiddish stray, this story really hits me. Its always so nice to take in a floofy bud and give them a loving home. Watching them transform into a friend that has full trust in you is amazing. ❤
Her: hiii, what?
Dwight: fact, a fully grown male black bear can run up to 35 miles per hour.
Nice to see a fellow office fan.
@@abishekdas73 you know it!
Her: Good morning!
Dwight: Greetings, inferior.
Her: ...welp back to the outside with you
Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica
Loves Battlestar Galactica
He's got very distinctive face, adorable ☺️
Males that aren't fixed develop chubby faces
Happens when the balls are kept
I’ve caught and rehomed several feral cats over the years and quite often the grumpiest feistiest ones turned out to be the biggest love bugs.
Please see my UA-cam💕
An Act of Kindness, goes such a long way! Some people may say that it is only a Cat! Dwight is a living Animal, and deserves a safe life! Thank You for the Video; it is Heartwarming!
When cats becomes couch potato they're cute, but when i do it im supposed to "get a life"?
Next time i reincarnate i wanna be a cat.
Me a sloth
@@thepalacemaid until you got snatched by a harpy eagle.
@@baikia777 savage xD
I also wanna be a cat, don't mind my pfp or name
You are trying to be "cute", but cats ARE cute.
He showed his belly, the biggest sign of trust, the belly keeps all the organs safe with means big fluffy weak spot, so if the belly is up, there is full trust and the cat relaxes around you and knows "fluff is safe" 😻
Breaking news
I'd love to see your fluffy weak spot...
@@sunjester8254 well.. honey, that might be a problem, my "weak spot" is smooth as a dolphin🤗 so no fluff 🤣
@@siljemartins7447 Actually, I prefer a shaved kitty. Keeps me from getting fur in my mouth when I kiss one. =oP
@@sunjester8254 well my kitty likes more than just a kiss so... 🤣 my kitty is too demanding XD
I like how he just awkwardly stares at her until she goes away
He’s one of the cutest cats I’ve ever seen, I wish I could have a cat
I hope you can have a cat some day ❤ I got a male cat last year. Ever since he has been my baby and best friend and lights up my entire life. He gives unconditional love and so much joy, my heart is full ❤ I recommend you to get one. Males can be most easy going.
It takes literally months and months and months for a cat to come around To trust you. I have experience. I have a feral myself but thank you so much for taking him in and feeding him, he’s a beautiful baby. You did not give up on him when most people would.
It took her 7 months she said.
Yes it does
It does take so long but it's so worth it. I have three who used to be strays
