Globex has joined the collective brain cell of orange cats and is showing his beautiful orangeness. Welcome wonderful Globex. He's such a little sweetheart.
Yes I am excited for him to start showing me all his weird little orange cat traits
Awesome! That means he's sharing with 4 of my cats 😂
@@RolyWestYT Orange cats are awesome. 😻
@RolyWestYT hey my cat is the exact same but black and white very exotic and long with leopard print on him mine also meows a lot and sounds the same literally he loves it when I follow him or take him on a walk with lead hes called Cobalt cookie dough 😂🎉💙
@@sarahwbsand 2 of mine 😊
SOBBING, CRYING, THE CUTENESS
🤭🤭🤭
Really, sobbing?? I didn't think I could find you anymore unlikable and fake and now you say your crying cuz someone got a dam rescue cat? Seriously girl, you really need to quit simping on this community so hard...not cute... YIKES.... sobbing...WTF, who even says that?
Roly being a concerned and attentive cat parent is literally my favorite thing ever.
Tail pointing down is a nervous anxious kitty, tail straight up is a confident happy kitty. Was nice to see his tail slowly raise as he gets used to his new home. 🐈
OMG A CAT ..THE BEST SECRET
:( damn spoiler. Lmao but yeah best secret ever
@@RileyBlair-lq5hy it's written under the video bud
Who reads that? I mean you obviously 😂@@mandy7674
It was so hard not to tell anyone
@@RolyWestYT aww I bet! Im going to add this video to a playlist with the Novympia cat videos 😅
Egyptian Mau cats are known to be fairly vocal and have a chatty personality. They can make a variety of sounds, including chirping, chortling, trilling, and chatting, in a conversational way when interacting with their favorite people. Some even describe their vocalizations as musical. Egyptian Maus may also vocalize their pleasure with a series of chirps when they're affectionate and seeking lap time or a ride on your shoulders.
Mine actually makes a sound I've never heard before. When she is really digging petting or cuddles, she does what we refer to as "the squeaky wheel" along with a major purr. Too cute but I've never heard any other cat do it.
look samisens, in body shape colour is not a tall right
I WANT ONE SO BAD AHH I LOVE CATS
My black cat would announce his presence by immediately screaming 😂 mostly I think he wanted to know were we were and then he'd come check in before going to find some sunshine to sleep in. He sounded just like your Globex ❤❤
And yes I talk to my shouty animals! He meows I meow back and say hello 😅
My mom's senior cat (1/2 Burma, 1/2 Housecat) has always been very vocal. We'll be talking; just meowing and "yeahing" all day long 😂 She gets overstimulated by touch very easily so after some minutes of cuddling, she'll sit down next to us and talk softly while purring. If we answer in the same tone (just short sentences like "yeah" "my pretty kitty" "I love you") she'll start mimicking the tone of our voices while soft blinking or closing her eyes, and she can basically fall asleep this way. 🥹🥰❤️ She also let's us know before using the bathroom 😅 (She's fine and has been checked by multiple vets over the years, but they all say she's just a vocal cat. 😅❤️ And she's perfect just the way she is 🥰❤️)
Multiple cat veteran here. I find that if you have a social household with people coming and going, your cat will quickly adjust, if you start him young and if he's allowed to approach newcomers on his own terms. After a certain point, he'll be totally fine with new people.
First rule of having a ginger cat: You cannot control the ginger cat. 🤣 But no Globex is absolutely gorgeous and his screaming antics will calm down eventually. He's just not quite understanding how things work yet but once he settles into the routine of things he should calm down.
Cats. Do. Funny thang s. Kasey Leigh Kelley 😊
The screaming is indeed h adjusting. He is scared; comforting him and letting him eventually sleep with you will help that. Avoid forced eye contact and use slow blinking and side glances to communicate you are a friend.
yes slow little blinking is sending kisses
I already saw him slow blinking at Roly 😍😍
He could also be very vocal, like my kitty. At two o'clock in the morning, she'll meow super loud to play.
@@funnylilspoonie he is definitely a talker! He will be such good company.
looking away or just closing eyes like sleeping is better than a slow blink so you're right with side glances
I love it that you adopted a rescued cat and didn’t bought a cat like every other influencer. There are so many Rescued cats/stray cats that need a home
yeah I could never pick a new one over this orange floof
Absolutely gorgeous little kitty, rescue is always best! @@RolyWestYT
If Globex starts to get territorial, you need to socialize him as much as possible. Get him a cat backpack, invite friends-anything will work, but he sounds like a very adorable social cat. He is quite the cutie.
I have a 12-year-old orange rescue cat who came to me when he was 7. I've also had to move houses a couple of times over the past five years. He's always wanted to explore the entirety of a new place right away instead of staying in one room. Every cat is an individual, and while general principles are useful, there are always kitties who defy them.
My cat is the same way!! She will not be contained 😡😡😤
I'm sure you know this but that slow blink he did at 19:00 is a sigh of trust in cats and usually associated with affection!
yes saying "I love you" hehe
so happy that you adopted a kitty instead of a breeder 🥰 congratulations on your new furry family member 🐱
Yeah I always wanted to rescue one
In terms of toys, if you don't already have one, I'd really recommend a fishing rod type toy with feathers on the end. You can keep it moving to hold his interest, it brings vertical space into play, and it's a bonding thing too because it involves you in the play much more, which he'll love you for. It might even help wear him out before bed lol
He reminds me exactly of how my hairless cat acted. He passed away not that long ago and he made the same meowing fits and liked to be rubbed in the same areas. We called him “screamy boy” and was extremely loving. It warms my heart to see you experience this
I have a 13-year-old ginger cat. Had him since he was 8 weeks old. He screams at night. He always has. The screaming may not ever completely stop. Cats don’t typically understand the “if you do this, this will happen,” set of discipline.
My Lacey, who was a grey longhair, was a nighttime warbler. I'd just answer her, and she was fine for a while. So was my mom's siamese mix. She'd grab socks from the clothes basket and yowl through the house. If one of us called out for her to "drop the baby", she'd put the sock down and come find whoever said it.
I love the similarities between having a newvorn baby, and a cat. He wakes you up at night with crying, you're worried about how hes eating, and now everything is shared lmao. Congrats on fatherhood! Be sure to teach him proper body mod saftey too!
Cats are much cuter and their “crying” is less ear grating though xD
People who think a pet is anything like a baby is hilarious. Love it when they actually have a kid and they’re like “I was wrong. I was so so wrong 😑” 😂.
Cute cat Roly.
@Smashingblouse You do realize that a lot of people who make that comparison are people who have also had children/their own babies, right? My mom used to say our dog was like having a baby all the time.
@@high-bi-password yeah maybe. What’s your point?
@@high-bi-password did she breast feed the dog?
Roly.... a slow blink means "I like/love you" it's a great sign! Could be his calling is if his foster home had other cats, he could be looking for them. Don't worry too much about trying to teach him anything, he'll train you. 😉😹
I loved how gentle you were when Globex first arrived. You were clearly excited and wanted to meet him but you gave him space to relax
GLOBEX ❤❤❤❤❤❤ what a precious baby. Congrats on becoming a father lol
Thank you!!
@@RolyWestYTHe's beautiful Roly!! Congrats!! I rexcomend getting a Catit Pixie fountain, so easy to up keep and clean and gives them fresh water! I also really really suggest the luuup litter boxes they make changing the litter box SO easy!!
Ginger cats are so special, my boy Loki is a ginger and I love him obviously but I affectionately call him my demon child. He does the shouting thing. Everything's fine, food, water, litter, toys bur he just shouts for no reason. It's very annoying and frustrating but it's just part of what he does!!
To stop them from doing things you don't want tell them "no" and reward them with treats (and you can look into clicker training, that's helped me with Loki a bit!) With positive reinforcement. Same thing for scratching, praise him when he uses the posts, telling him no when he doesn't.
Also as far as letting you know about him being in pain cats are covert creatures, if something is wrong or they are hurt they will hide it, and hide literally. They will hide under furniture or in dark, quiet and cool spaces so just be aware and keep that in mind!
He also needs you to show him how his toys work and how to play, those are learned behaviours built off of instinct.
Is his name from Globe Corps from the Simpsons?
Hope you and Globie have many happy years together!! They are such blessings and make life so much better!
Also we need a house tour! Or did I miss one?!
As if I didn't adore you already for your quirky sense of humor and your gorgeous contacts. Not to mention the tats. Now you join me in the "Keepers of the ginger cat brigade"!
YAY!!!!
laughing so hard at the "no free feet"
He's so gorgeous, Roly, congratulations on your new family member! Egyptian Maus are super vocal cats, so he'll probably always be very chatty and he'll teach you what his vocalisations mean. After ten years, my Bengal still does the night time wail of "I want to go to bed but I MUST have a human with me!" and he likes to announce that he needs to use the litter box, has lost a toy under the sofa, wants a fuss or is just very excited. Visitors always think he's incredibly distressed but it's just his way of telling me what he's doing, minute to minute. I'm sure that Globex will train you in no time at all and I'm glad he's settling in so well.
the thing about keeping a new cat in one room is less of a rule & more of a cautionary starting point. globex seems extremely curious which is much better than being super timid. seems like such a character.
when it comes to his meowing fits, i recommend playing with him near to bedtime in order to tire him out because it seems like pent up energy. maybe try puzzle treat toys as well & experiment with toys. my cats really love plastic spring toys!
"Closed doors are a cat's worst enemy"! I've always heard that and it's so true 😂😂 he's sooooo gorgeous!! 💚💚
He needed to explore all of his domain, check the perimeter. Lol
When I was a teen I always kept my bedroom door closed and despite not even waking up from alarms I always woke up when I heard a very quiet little scratch on my door.
I then walk over, open and wait until I could feel his fur against my leg and then by the time I get back to bed he was position perfectly to be the little spoon.
I miss him so much, he was my precious little baby 😭❤️
My sister's calico hated if I closed my door. Though her response was to run full tilt down the hall and into the door head-first. She never did it if the door was open.
meow
I will say you might have some unique difficulties only because he didn't have a litter. Kittens learn how to play and behave with wrestling with each other and mom stepping in when nessicary. You might have better luck him playing with a stuffed animal that you "wrestle" him with😊 but the room thing has always depended on the cat for us. We let them explore wherever they felt comfortable, and I think the single room is more for a multi-pet household. You're doing great, Roly!
Every cat is an individual. You have general guidelines how to take care a cat, but you have to find out what works for your cat. Cat is also a night animal, so they might be more active during nights.
Funny thing is, when Globex was blinking his eyes on camera, I started to blink my eyes back to him too 😃 I guess it is automatic reaction for having cats in the family for decades.
eeee a kitty! he's adorable, Roly! Welcome to the wonderful life of being a cat dad!
I am sure one of many for the future
@@RolyWestYTyou can never just have one! 🐈 🐈⬛
I’d recommend leaving your bedroom room open at night so he can go in and out. My cat is also a talker but she likes to snack at night and play with her toys so I leave my door open for her, when she’s done doing her nightly routine she comes back to bed lmao
BTW, Roly: You've done well with the introduction to your home.
It's normal for cats to decide when they're ready to explore more of a new home. Cats are highly individualistic, and every cat is different.
Oh, and it's time to learn The Sideways Shimmy, girl! It's how you get through a door while keeping it as closed as possible to keep the cat inside.
One thing you can do to keep him off of the counters is to put aluminum foil down on it. Cats don't like the crinkle of it.
A tip that I can give you: cats scratch for 2 reasons. One is to break off the claw sheaths (which is how the claws get sharp - they grow sharp, and the outer layer falls off). The other reason is to scent-mark. Cats have scent glands in their paws, so they'll claw things to mark them as their own. You just want to make it clear to him, "No, _my_ sofa!" … and make sure that he has things that he _can_ claim as his own.
Play with his paws. Learn how to make his claws extend. Get him used to you doing that. You'll then be able to trim his claws with a clipper. (But watch a video, you only want to clip off the transparent tip of the claw, or it'll bleed.) It's not as difficult as it sounds, and there are clear trimmers for cats that have backstops. The main thing, though, is getting your cat used to having his feet toyed with, and being held still.
I always love seeing animals go to good homes, and this baby has a good home. Playing fetch with him will keep you both active 😂
I don't think I have ever ran up and down my stares this much since living here
I had a siamese named Merlin, and he was SUPER vocal. You would swear the world was falling apart if he didn’t get me to turn the tap on for him to drink out of the sink. But in his case if he was ever unwell he would be awfully quiet. So if he was screaming he was all happy and well, but as soon as he went quiet then I knew it time for a trip to the vets.
Congrats on becoming a Dad! Globes is the most beautiful little delight of an orange brain cell ❤
I have a Siamese and he sometimes drives me absolutely insane, I wish I could speak cat to actually know the whole conversations he feels te need to have with me in the middle of the night.
It is that he is so damn cute and that I love him because sometimes……😵💫🤣
I think the ball thing is that when you move it for him he's 'hunting' it, the moment it stops moving, it breaks to illusion so you have to keep moving it for him- self moving toys are sometimes useful, like motion-sensor ones, they work better for my 3 cats- they're the exact same way XD
I reccomend a Hex Bug! My little dude loves them
I had an orange baby who made the same guttural meowing sounds during thunderstorms , I miss him … mama loves you Winky ❤
Okay, on the room-screaming thing. It might be separation anxiety related. My cats freak out when we go into the bathroom & shut the door because they want access to us at all times. It might be he wants to know you're safe by checking out the room. Or it could just be he's nosey 😂
Omg my cat Bean will literally scratch up the carpet if we close a door to bathe 😿 He was found with his siblings as a literal baby covered in fleas without momma, so we know it's separation anxiety.
@@MarshmallowPumpkin889 yeah, I'm not allowed to use the loo or bathe with the door shut either. One of my two will take great offense to it if I do. I think they just want access to us & they want to make sure we're safe. I've noticed one if mine gets super stroppy if you don't tell him when you'll be back when going out - so I have to say we'll be back in X hours. Later isn't good enough, he needs the hours. I think he's learnt to count through treats 😂
A month ago, we adopted a 3 year old feline. She too cried in the night, but it will pass over time, the best thing is to ignore it. She's fine now at night, has her toys, she can go anywhere in the house except for my gaming room. Seeing how far Globex has come in a short amount of time, he will get adjusted pretty fast. Like my feline, he is not playing YET !!! I thought my cat didn't know how to play and had a convo with my wife about it, and i cried. Next day, my wife came to me and said: "IT HAPPENED," I said what happened? SHE PLAYED. So Globex too will get to it when he has enough confidence and feels relaxed enough.
My Sphynx kitty does the same meow thing. Usually he does it when he can’t find me or wants me to come up to him. Maybe he misses his foster mom/dad or his kitty friends. Soon he will be meowing to look for you! What a beautiful baby. Congrats Roly! 🐱
Oh he’s just gorgeous. Those amber eyes, what a doll 🧡
Omg!!! Roly! I found a kitten a week ago at a parking lot as well! and it pretty much has adopted me. It’s always waiting outside when I get home from work so I named him and got him a collar finally. Good luck to the both of us with our new pals
🖤🖤🖤🐾
I named him Kybalion
Globex is so dang precious! Everything in the house is his now, though! He's just graciously letting you borrow things.
I found my cat in a shed, filthy and terrified, and she has been my precious clingy baby ever since. Cats with tragic backstories just have a talent for stealing hearts, I knew as soon as she started to trust me that I could never ever let her go.
Aww! He looks just like the little cat from Stray. I’m so pleased for you. Cats make everything better. 🐈
He does!!!
@@RolyWestYT now you need to play Stray :)) If you have not already. Film his reaction :)) I am sure he will love it :))
It sounds like Globex is training you nicely xD you're very compliant. Huge respect for adopting, I did wonder at first with how beautiful he is!!
He's absolutely gorgeous and obviously has such a fun nature! Enjoy being a Dad 😊xx
If he's still a baby, in my experience, they shed a lot less when they're little. Once he's fully grown, and has his first spring/summer he WILL shed more.
Maus are quite a vocal breed, but he's obviously still getting used to where he is, where you are and whats normal. With my last few cats, my husband and I referred to a specific "location meow" that our cats did that was their way of saying "WHERE ARE YOOOOOU?" You'll get used to each other, and soon you will speak Globex, and be one of the Globex corporation ;)
There's a lot of his behaviour I can explain to you if you want (i'm not a cat behaviourist, but I've read a LOT about it, and tbh I'd love to be one!) but I'm confident you'll actually work each other out in time. If there's anything that does worry you, I can try and help, because most of this makes absolute sense to me from cat perspective :) He's absolutely beautiful
To add, if you brush them regularly it really does help with the shedding so it's good to get them used to grooming when theyre young.
It's great to learn as much as you can, but remember that those are generalizations. Your cat is an individual, with his own preferences. Sounds like you're doing a great job paying attention to what your furbaby needs, and that's super important! Congratulations on your new life partner... you're in for a fun time!
this is actually such an important comment! people often tend to extrapolate their own experiences with their own cats and present it as some sort of rule, but as a lifelong catowner, no two cats i've had are the same and they have vastly different personalities, behaviours, habits, urges and instincts.
so i would generally warn against taking statements like "yes, the cat is doing X because of Y" with a grain of salt. They may be, but they may be doing it for a variety of other reasons,
in any case this is one lucky kitty that found a great dad! congrats to both roly and globex 🥰🥰
@@user-xr9kj6by3u Absolutely! My husband and I volunteered at our local animal shelter for years, and every cat is an individual.
It's like people. We can always say people generally have 2 arms, 2 legs, eat food, etc. But in reality, we're all weird in our own ways... so even if every person you know loves roller coasters, it's totally normal to meet someone who hates them!
20:43 omggg him just getting into your lap he fits so perfectly I can’t 🥹🥹🥹🥹
The first few days are always a bit much. You're so right that it must be so confusing for the poor little guy. I'm so glad your son is settling in now.
I think the one room thing is more to give a cat time to get used to scents etc and not overwhelm them, but depending on the cat they can want to just explore. I've met a cat like this (also an orange boy) who also just wanted to be out and exploring all the time, so it's not just you.
Love being a patron. We find out the tea early.... its hard keeping secrets lmaooo x
Naughty
@@RolyWestYT hahaha x
Congratulations 💙
We have a ginger tom, he's getting on in years but he still makes that awful racket at night.
Things I've observed so far.
1) He's very beautiful. Those toe beans though ❤
2) He's already got you well trained lol.
3) Don't let him fool you. If he got up there, he can get back down.
4) He's the luckiest cat alive to have you as his owner.
Enjoy being part of the cat owners association, it's a friendly group. And don't forget to say "biiiiiigggg stretch everytime he stretches. 😘
As someone who works at a cat shelter, I always get so happy when I see people that adopt cats rather than buy them from breeders.
I also love that you make sure to have researched and prepared the home for him.
I love that you do the scent trick as well since he is a rescue.
Also, his breed is actually known for being pretty vocal, though he will calm down a little after getting settled.
I know a lot (maybe too much) about cats since I have been interested in reading about cats since I was 6 and started knowing how to read better and I’m just watching this and noticing all the kinds of things that you’re doing so amazingly.
From giving him space, talking to him and with a low voice, letting him come to you rather than forcing yourself onto him.
He definitely senses your intentions and feelings, he senses that you are a good person that just wants to love him and give him the best life ever.
I would suggest you get toys that move around on its own for him.
Love this for you and lil globex, you’re perfect for each other and will fill each other’s lives with pure joy! ❤
Your cat is giving me MAJOR cuteness aggression! What a beautiful, little fella! Congratulations on your new, furry addition!!
Congratulations! He is beautiful. The screaming should lessen as he adjusts. It happens at night because he is awake and you are not. just reassure him that you are there. Try cuddling him for a minute it usually helps calm them. We have 4 black cats and one of them, Ebony, will do it when she has a particular type of toy. We call it "Singing the song of her people" and now we tell her we are putting the people to bed. It has helped a lot. Enjoy every moment. You two are so cute together.
Roly for the win with a rescue kitty! Give your new fur baby all the love in the world!
Yay! Welcome to the cat parent club. I have 4 cat babies and 1 dog baby and I love all of them so much. Hi Globex!
As someone who's lived with cats her entire life, I wouldn't worry too much. You seem to be doing exactly the right things and working with him as he needs you to. He seems like a total sweetie.
i immediately thought of Globox from Rayman when hearing his name lol but is his name related to Globex Corporation from the Simpsons?
theres nothing like adopting a rescue. i recently lost my old cat who was a rescue, she used to be quite distant and hid a lot but after a little while she really opened up and we became inseperable. I just know you will both become best friends
Yes The Globex Corp :)
@@RolyWestYTah I thought so! 🥰🩵
Maus are known for their "pleasant sounds" so I expect the little guy to still be quite chatty once he settles in. He'll fit right in with you, I'm sure 😂❤
I have to say Roly, it warms my heart to see how much effort you put into helping him settle in, given that cats are very sensitive to stress (which in turn, negatively impacts their health). Glad to see you're putting in the time to learn about them. You're setting a good example for other first-time pet owners, and most importantly setting yourself up for succes with your new boy.
Welcome to life with a cat! May Globex terrorize your house forevermore 😜❤🐾
Arabian mau have that kind of pattern to easier blend in with their terrain. They're very sweet and love being around people. He must know his ancestors were worshipped and he demands your admiration 😅
Congratulations!!!! Your sweet baby is absolutely beautiful! I have never seen a cat with markings quite like him. He is lucky to have ended up with you! He seems like he is going to be a talker too!
you getting an orange cat just makes so much sense lol
I love how you find this important enough to make a video of it and that you want to share it with us! So many people dont take pets seriously but they truly are fur babies and serious additions to the family. Welcome Globex! Can't wait to hear about your orange-cat adventures!
Yes, he found a way to make money by monetizing his new pet for 30 mins.
Aww babies first internet kiss.. He is absolutely amazing. He is so long he is going to be big! Congratulations Roly!
What a precious little bean! 😻 You're gonna be a great catdad.
Congratulations Roly!!! He's absolutely gorgeous! I started tearing up with how happy I am for you! Orange cats are the best 💙 give him a snuggle for me
Thank you!!
Congratulations Cat daddy!! He's beautiful! He's chose you as his person already!
He's very confident for a few days in. we have 3 Arabian mau kitties and they're super affectionate.
We have 5 cats in total. We call between 0330 and 0430 "the witching hour" in our house, it's not uncommon for 1 of the 5 to have random zoomies and meow at that time of night... honestly you do learn to tune some of it out over time but he will settle and get better.
I'm so happy for you, I could see the joy and love in your eyes!
Welcome little Globex ❤🐕
What an angel 😭❤ some cat breeds are more vocal! My cat will randomly start screaming especially when shes looking for me, or randomly at night 😂 you're going to become a cat person and obsessed so quickly! Cats have the best personalities and they're so so smart ❤
You are so lucky they are in their tree! My cat...I have purchased about 4 different types 😅 won't even SMELL them!
He was an alley cat once upon a time. So he prefers to be outside in the backyard. He is an old man and knows he doesn't need to venture anymore, so he's the kitty that looks at the neighborhood from holes in the fence 😅 he is a Bombay so keeps my ghost 👻 at bay. We both look at the same corner some nights and freak my partner out all the time 😂😅
19:50. Charlie also prefers dry food. He drinks enough water (we have a flowing fountain). Toby was the one who liked wet food more. Charlie will eat it, but only a few bites. He much prefers his crunchies. I’m assuming it’s because he was a pet store kitty. This video made my day Roly. I love cats. They’re all so different with their personalities and quirks. Congratulations on your new baby ❤
HE'S SO CUTE 🥰 you're doing a wonderful job with him and listening to your own advice is definitely the right choice. Things that work for a lot of animals don't work for all of them. What ever seems to make him happy and relaxed is always the best thing ❤ He may still be a bit distracted by everything to play, I'm sure he'll get there but, a lot of animals like to mimic their humans and as silly as it sounds sometimes playing with their toys the way they would kind of shows them how to do it. He's very sweet I'm excited to see more videos of him or even catch him laying in the background at some point ❤
Awww! Globex is a cute baby boy! He is so long and sleek!Egyptian Maus are wonderful and gingers are the best. Congrats on your new kitty! Looking forward to seeing more of him. 😺 Love the rug in your living room, too. 😄
Welcome to the wacky world of orange cats. We rescued our orange boy five years ago and he still walks around the house yelling from time to time. I’ve just accepted that this is an orange cat thing lol. Out of our three cats he’s the most active and the loudest. Globex is a beautiful little lad and you now have a furry little bestie congrats!
Cats are very territorial so changing location is always a shock to them. Imagine all those new sounds and smells! Its easy to feel like its us they are scared of, but all that chat is him saying "you seem to be okay but wtf is this place??"
Haha the screaming to go into new places is probably him being sus youre hiding his old home there
Ahhhh he's beautiful, Roly! Welcome to the world of 3am "singing"! I have two cats, and one of them sings opera for me at 3am on a semi regular basis. For no reason. For hours. I think it is one of life's undiscoverable mysteries - they are little Gods of mischief and mystery, you know!
Love that you have a new companion! Such a gorgeous cat. That very first shot of you and Globex having a moment was beautiful. You can see how happy with the pats Globex is, but what I also loved was how calm and content you looked patting him. This will be a good for your soul. Happy catting!
He is STUNNING. The meowing fits will settle as he adjusts, but cats are nocturnal, so be prepared for the middle of the night zoomies. I'm so happy for both of you 🖤
18:27. My Charlie used to do that. Once in awhile at night we would hear this really loud howl like he’s dying. At first id rush out to see what’s wrong and he’d just look at me and squeak. 😂. Eventually it went away. As long as he knows we’re nearby.
18:59 was that a short slow-blink? That's such a great sign! 🎉
Dang Roly you have been dealing with the cat activities outstandingly well, and the idea of giving him spots to climb on that go up and down again in a bit of a flow is top cat design.
I hope that the random loud meowing stops soon, sounds like a major pain. But you looked up why he does it and are coping well, truly sounds like you're doing amazing. Good luck!
Omg Roly he's so lovely! Congratulations on the new boyyyy! My goodness he's lovely. I affectionately call my calico my little foghorn because she's super vocal and LOUD, some cats might just be more vocal than others in general, or Globex could be conversing with the demons in the shadows. In either case, I wish you both the best bonding time! A counter tip, you might try lining counters with double-sided sticky tape, they dislike the sensation tugging on their beans so it may help as a deterrent. Also I've found that ping pong balls were so much better for my prey driven cat because they're extremely light and their momentum carries them further and attracts my cat to continue chasing and playing with them.
Spent the entirety of the video just saying ‘awwwww’ over and over! What a cute addition to the Roly family. Sending big love to Globex ❤️
He’s beautiful roly. Welcome to the crazy ginger cat life! Xx🐈
Well done for adopting a rescue. I volunteer at a local rehoming centre and we need more people like you showing the world how badly adopters are needed.
Globex has settled in so well - it takes time and patience.
Look at that precious boy! 😍 He truly is a beauty and that he already feels so comfortable around you is such a great sign. You two will make prefect roommates, of that I'm sure! 🖤 Thank you for sharing these memories with us!
LOVE LOVE LOVE that you decided to adopt !! there are so many wonderful cats waiting to give and receive love but people still go to breeders and it's really sad :( as someone who volunteers in a cat shelter, it shatters my heart to see so many old cats who spend almost all their lives without a permanent home
Welcome to cat dad world. I have a 17 year old cat, been with me since he was 6 weeks old and he screams multiple times a day at the top of his voice for absolutely no reason at all. It's just what some of them do 🤣
My little Poe is a fat orange cat with extra toes and he goes down to the basement at least once a day to scream at the top of his lungs for no reason - at least it’s in the basement 😂
22:25 lmao he’s just like I want the run of the house, this is OUR house now 😂😂
What a beautiful fur-baby he is. The 'screaming' meow sounds like Globex is distressed or lonely and is looking for comfort. He will get used to your home and the loud meows will stop. My cat Twitch was a rescue cat too, when I first got her she cried a lot and she suffers from separation anxiety, so if I go out anywhere I leave the TV on. A little pat on the way past him and acknowledging him when you enter or leave the room will let Globex know he is loved and wanted in your home.
All the best - he's absolutely adorable.
We only have had rescue cats. You make such a big difference for them
my heart melted. dude, congratulations, roly!!! omg, seriously, what a cutie globex is!! also, i teared up as soon as you revealed him out of empathy. in may, i received a kitten for my birthday after not having my own after a decade. 😭💜💜
ok my tips and preaching aside i'm so happy for both of you, adopting an animal is such a big deal because you know you are meeting someone you will love dearly for many years to come, so seeing this video is quite emotional even for me🥹
seeing him come out of that cage, confused and kinda scared, oblivious to the fact that he is in for a wonderful life with a wonderful dad despite how his life started. that's one more happy kitty in the world🥹🩷
I loveeeee that you are already planning to add shelves and high points around your place, it's a key thing most owners forget the importance of
When we lived in an apartment, one of our cats would ALWAYS dart out into the hallway connecting all of the apartments. He was certain we were keeping him locked out of the rest of the house and he WAS going to find a way to explore it. Now that we live in a house, we thankfully don't have the problem with exterior doors (outside bad) but the easiest way to offend him is to close any door.
He also cries/screams when he's alone, or thinks he's alone. You can tell when it's happened if everybody was out because he usually brings his favorite toy to the middle of the house when he does it.
It sounds like our kitties are quite similar, but I hope sweet Globex grows out of it! It's too late for my fuzzy old man the crybaby.
Some cats are just super inherently social and curious, and they adjust way quicker. It’s honestly a blessing and a curse because these cats are usually extremely needy and like to play all the time.
Thank you for rescuing that baby! As far as fur goes, I have 3 cats and I use a robot vac that I run 4-5 days/week and for upholstery I have a Chom Chom thingie. It's actual magic. I was actually able to find some nice, affordable sofa covers on Temu. I really don't want to shop at Temu, but these were a great find. Pets will ruin furniture though, just a trade off for how much joy they bring.
What an absolutely beautiful ginger kitty! His markings are lovely. I've owned cats for a very long time, and I can say that one thing he's doing with his noisemaking early on in his re-homing is establishing territory. He's letting everyone know he's there and he's looking for responses from rivals. Once he feels secure that this area belongs to him, he should calm down with all the vocalising.
Awww ❤❤❤ as someone who has had rescue cats for years (8 in total) I just want to tell you, you are doing great. You're not in his face. You're letting him explore and take his time. 10/10 ❤ excellent kitty Dad, you are doing marvellous. You are going to have the most wonderful loving relationship with him . He is utterly beautiful. He going to love and adore his dad❤❤❤ and a nice side benefit: you'll never have rodents in your home
Of course Globex is a Simpsons reference. I can see that the evil corporation has already taken over your mind and heart. Good wishes to both of you!
There's nothing you didn't think of. You're really passionate about giving him a good life. I'm glad he has you.
Its so sweet that you did all the research and did everything to prep for him to come home. I love to see when folks prep properly for the new animals to come in to a strange environment. Love to see he's going to a loving home!! Congrats!! ❤
Oh MY GOOOOOOD. HES SO CUTE. i have 2 cats from cats protection they’re a pain as they’re so fussy and meow constantly. But they’re so cute 😂 at least your fur baby has you now to look after him ❤
