Do you plan on adopting a cat? And were these tips helpful? 🐈
Hello, I have a question. If I have a small kitten around 2 to 3 months, and my parents and my brother and I go to work and school every day for five days a week, will the kitten be OK 1:29
No 11: Please make sure not to buy one of those crazily dangerous self-cleaning cat toilets – some people have literally lost their pets because of this 😢
no laser pointers its not good for cats, they shouldnt chase after light because its confusing, also danger of shining in yourcats eye
otherwise good video
I’m going to hopefully Adopt an American shorthair cat in the future. Even though I will be working 40 hours or more as a historian. But I still want to an American shorthair cat regardless of how many hours I will have to work.
I am far from being ready to adopt one. But I've been getting information left and right so I know everything about cats when I am financially able to adopt one. I've been in love with cats all my life and I really want to adopt one even stray ones. But I want to make sure I am able to care for them completely before adopting cause I never in my life would like to see a cat suffer. So thank you for making this video. I'll make sure to take these advices into consideration.
I wish to Have beautiful Tuxedo Cat named GALAXY but, my parents are allergic to cats.
If it’s a thing in your area, definitely look into a cat cafe. We went to one for fun in my GFs hometown and met the sweetest little cat; jumped right on my lap and didn’t leave the whole time. We sadly weren’t on the market for a little friend at the time, but told her mom about her who went to adopt her the next day. Cats were up to date on all vaccines and in good health. Gave a great chance to “trial run” (for lack of better terms) a cat before committing to one you see online and don’t know if their personality will match what you’re looking for.

This video provides excellent advice! Points I would like to add or emphasize:
Adopt, don't shop. Your local animal control may be killing homeless cats while breeders are selling more for profit. A shockingly high percentage of shelter cats are purebreds, or so close to it you can't tell they aren't. Felines from rescues, shelters, and adoption centers should already be spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, vaccinated, treated for fleas and other parasites, and tested for serious diseases. Consider what all that would cost you at your vet clinic, then pay their adoption fee with a smile. Maybe make an additional donation to help with the cost of other cats needing more expensive preparation for adoption. (For example, I once spent $1,000 to save a kitten's eyesight. His adoption fee was $75, same as all the others.)
Many rescues and adoption centers will 'take special orders' and notify you when the cat you're looking for shows up. Once a lady told me she wanted to find a kitten or young adult female Siamese or mix who was having trouble getting adopted because she wasn't fully socialized, yet wasn't hopelessly feral. Within a week I had two matches for her to choose from.
Never, ever declaw a cat or kitten! If you're considering a declawed cat, then study what adverse effects such mutilation has on the cat's mental and physical health. If you still insist on having a declawed cat, then adopt one which a previous owner had declawed before abandoning them.
Cats are very smart. Each has a complex and unique personality. Just as with humans, adults have a more developed and stable personality, less likely to change over time. Cats which have lived with humans already know most of the household rules. (Whether they always follow your rules is another thing. After all, we're talking about cats here.)
Adopting kittens probably sounds like fun, but be aware, they are furry little vandals! Even more than human babies, they will get into everything, eat things they shouldn't, spill things, damage stuff without regard for replacement cost, and occasionally ignore their toilet training (litter box).
A kitten really needs to interact with other felines during its first year so as to develop a normal personality. Two kittens provide more than double the entertainment! And wrestling with each other helps keep them occupied, exercised, tired out, and less destructive (except when they team up to destroy something).
Seriously consider some of the least-adopted cats, such as all black, amputees, blind in one or both eyes, or otherwise less than perfect. Cats have an amazing ability to overcome physical handicaps. Once a new cat is integrated into your household, none of those things will be important compared to their personalities and how they interact with other family members.
Understand how long cats live. Many people don't realize 20-year-old cats are not unheard of, although the average lifespan is closer to 15. As the video mentioned, research the cost of taking care of a cat. Ask your vet to help you estimate the cost of healthcare, routine and otherwise. I recently spent around $600 on a cat during the final few days of its life. It happens.
If you don't already have experience with a local vet you're happy with, then ask for suggestions from people involved in rescue, foster & adoption. There's a good chance they spend more time and money at vet clinics in a year than you will in a lifetime.
I'll stop here, because I doubt anyone is going to read even this far.😸
03:04 Doesn't surprise me that two male cats would get along better than two female 😂
I LOST MY FEMALE CAT. THREE WKS LATER I ADOPTED A 10YR OLD CAT. I GAVE HIM A MY LOVE AND ATTENTION. I HAD HIM FOR FIVE WKS. HE ATTACKED ME FOUR TIMES MAKING MY RIGHT ARM AND MY LEG DEEP WOUNDS. I BACAME SO AFRAID OF HIM. I DON"T KNOW WHEN HE IS GOING TO ATTACK NEXT. I FEEL SO BAD IF I RETURN HIM TO THE SHELTER THEY MAY EUTHANIZED HIM. CAN YOU KINDLY HELP ME?
When you go for your weekly shopping, bring your purchase home in cardboard boxes (without plastic or colorful imprints)!
I was watching your video because soon in a few weeks I will get a new young cat as my first cat has died from his old age.
He died about 10 weeks ago this year 2023.
Cats are cute😸
Very thorough thank you.

I would like to have a cats❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When I was 11 years old that I became best friends with my family’s 2nd cat. I first met him when he was a stray. I was very lucky that he turned out to be a big sweetie. Even our 1st cat was a stray,too. These 2 both were red tabby cats. The 2nd cat was a big sweetie. He was loved by my mother and me. The 1st cat was more than my father’s and sister’s cat.
If the cat adopts you take it ❤
I’m Going To When I’m 27 Years Old
Be prepared to spend upwards of $125 a month for food and litter.
Know that they will destroy your furniture . You cannot break them of that . Its in their nature to scratch . They do not care how expensive your furniture is . Even if you get them a scratching pad they will destroy your furniture when they know you are not home
😓😓😓
I love cats there are so adorable 😍🥰
Thank you so much for this advice!
That first black cat looks a lot like my Miss Midnight the Spoilt Feral Queen of the Cat Tree. She is this feral mum that had kittens that needed help in April 2020. She HATED being inside. But, when her kittens needed help, she let me take them and later, I heard her outside looking for them, so I caught her. I promised her that after she got fixed, she could leave if she wished. She was finally fixed in January 2021 and…now almost two years later…she's still here! She has never asked to go back to living outside. In fact, she has gotten really spoilt living here to where she absolutely does not even want to go outside at all! She is right now on a cat tree playing.
I also have two other girls that get along just great with each other. Miss Patches was my first one and she ALWAYS has her daughter, Miss Booties right next to her. It's actually difficult to get a picture of one without the other one.
Miss Patches two sons, Mr Blacky and Mr Tiger are friends with Miss Midnight's brother, Mr Tabby the Feral House Cat. When Mr Tabby joined us, Mr Blacky was like "oh no!" Miss Booties was just apoplectic "oh HELL NO! In fact, ::censored:: and the horse you rode in on!" She was cursing him out in cat for over a year! She's ok with him now. Miss Patches was like "oh, hi". Mr Tiger was like "Want to be buddies?" Miss Patches has always been welcoming. She has nicks in her ears from fighting with other cats, but, I have never seen her behave aggressively towards any other cats. Before I got her, I used to hear her fighting with other cats. I don't think she instigated them.
I have, right now, 14 cats, including several ferals. Even the feral ones are quite happy here, especially today, since it's raining. I saw some of the ferals this morning playing with toys.
My mom wants a kitten for a bonding reason so they are more attached then an adult cat and 2 my mom will be graduating from collage so she will have more time 3 we want 1 or 2 I say 2 becuase they can entertain each other and she is graduating in may is this a good idea?
😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
Thanks for the tips!
We got our first two cats about 13 years ago. But we have no more cats. They got use to our home that day. It didn't take long for them to adjust to their new home. They loved us right away to. I got a female cat and my fiance she got the male cat. The male we named Panther and the female cat we named her Tiger. They were with us a while the female had a few litters. Now we are a lone except for my Cockatiel. My dog passed away a few days ago. Overall we have had three pets die this year. panther and tiger died a while back. But with one of the litters we got two kittens from it. One of them died a few weeks ago named Oreo. I miss them all dearly. I don't know when we will get another cat or dog.
Thank you for another excellent video with important content too! Yes, just like people, they all have different personalities and are always very special in their own right. Happy cat pairing to everyone!
Some more tips:
Be able to consider older cats with disabilities. They also deserve to be loved.
Also consider adopting black cats. They do NOT bring bad luck… We live in a modern world, so leave dumb superstitions behind!
sono d'accordo su tutto.. e per quanto mi riguarda dopo un quarto d'ora il mio leo era gia' pazzo di me e del mio appartamento.. veramente entusiasto..
e' giusto e corretto passare dai vari gattili che hanno cosi tanti gatti splendidi e bellissimi e adottarne uno..
sara' bellissimo..i gatti sono animali magici e in cina un proverbio dice che porta fortuna dare da mangiare e prendersi cura di un gatto
