As a cat lover this info is a "game" changer! I'm going to try the egg box/carton food game and see if my cat can learn more advanced food puzzles. Thank you, Nicky Trevorrow! ❤
The double feather toy on the carbon fiber pole with wire makes them go crazy. When I bring home fresh feathers, they lose it. Drop one of them on the floor in the packaging and they will spend as long as it takes to get it out.
We have 3 cats and they eat differently. I know for sure that one of them would eat everything she can find and then there wouldn’t be anything left for the other two. So how can we manage this?
We have a microchip box that we trained the skinny cat to go into for his food. And we have an automatic feeder with a timer that feeds the heavy cat a little bit 4 times a day.
As the owner of a sphynx, it's safe to say my cat plays a LOT lmfao With anything he can get his paws on, in fact. I tried to get him interested in a puzzle feeder (shaped like a mouse that I'd hide in various locations for him to sniff out) but he lost interest pretty quickly. It also doesn't help that I've got two dogs he plays with regularly and that would 10000% eat any food in any puzzle feeder I put on the floor lol I do feel like he would adapt quickly to the spinning test tube feeder she showed though (mostly because he spins the toilet paper roll like no one's business lmao). And food would be all over the floor for the dogs to get, of course. Otherwise, really, none of this is new :) Anyone who has a cat and has done their proper research knows this stuff already.
Try a wall labrynth cat scratching post Verticle maze use a lot of sheets separating the spaces and just screw multiple posts together (KZLAA 94 of this design)horizontally….cats love to be concealed even from you so you can’t see your feline friend use a separate sheet from the floor to da roof
how my cat and I play is: we fight to the bone. I tease him a little and then he goes wild and we get into the cage and punch each other til death. he wins all the time and my arm looks like a 2000s emo band singers.
So, my beloved cat can't deal with "biscuits". And i can't deal with the diarrhea he emits when he's had them.... On the carpets, on my bed, NEXT to (12 inches away from) the cat commode (NOT an accident and the commodes are cleaned daily)... I've looked at the "mostly meat" varieties of cat treats and they are more expensive than the $12 per pound I spend on fresh, organic meat for his meals. And I'd LOVE to give him "treats" and rewards, but... I don't love cleaning up his feces. IN the box, no problem, but he gets kaolin clay daily just to keep the meat diet under control. (Vet can't find anything wrong with him, no bugs, no bacteria he can identify). So he chases feathers on a cat fishing pole... He's an indoor cat and bored., frequently rejecting toys... Hates catnip and silvervine.
Have you tried the freeze dried treats? You can get ones that are literally just chunks of meat that have been freeze dried. No other ingredients. Might be worth trying if your kitty has a sensitivity to something you don't know about yet.
@@FlareHeart Yes. Doesn't seem to matter what meats are part of the freeze dried treats. He gets the squirts and then butt scoots the residue on my carpet. First thing I do every morning is check the room for feces and butt scoots.
But really, I'll bet your cat would enjoy the play part with or without the treats. Just put the regular food somewhere for the cat to find it. Our pet sitter put food around the scratch pad for the cat to find, and she loves it
She did a good job crisscross talking over the divide between humans and cats 😂 Almost connected the 2, wonder how many people now think humans are animals?!? We all share a collective orbit around the sun named Sol in this solar system and are by definition Solarian, why call ourselves humans on planet earth? it's not inclusive and implies failet dirt... Sol 3 is a much better name for this world. Seriously though, with all the trouble in the world to discuss on Ted Talk... no... lets talk about making our animals happy, woof woof meow meow chicken good yeah?
This video is for apartment cat... cats are not supposed to live into 4 walls, same as humans. Cats living outside are so much different and healthy, the same apply for humans. I understand that a lot of people are living in big city and apartments, but the country side and the opportunities given of wilderness is way much better for cats... and, i think, for humans too. 🙃😚🤗
@@BillHicks420 I still have hundreds of various birds around the property and I really love them, I'm fascinated by all those pioupiou, my 2 cats get a few down and eaten, same as some shrew, it's part of the game, part of the life... In my case roadkill is not an option, the cats are used to dangerous predators and are dealing with those (not many in my area), worst case scenario they are running to my dog to get help and everything is fine for the last 10years. Cats are feline, adored by Egyptian for 10000 years+, small Lions. You don't own a cat, the cat is owning you, they are gods. 😺😚🤗
@@hardrout17 In the wild there were not millions and millions of cats. They are DRASTICALLY out of proportion population-wise compared to the natural world. Image if there were millions of tigers roaming around. You'd have lots of dead humans.
I now have faith that despite the WEF trying to wipe out humanity as we know it - my woke kids will actually be able to have a career across the next 30 years - Ay Yai Yai ai yay.
While she didn't say "dolphin", dolphin are in fact fish. As are all mammals. You can't construct a clade that includes sharks (which most people think of as "fish") and goldfish, (which most people think of as fish) that doesn't include dolphins. Because dolphins have a more recent common ancestor with goldfish than goldfish do with sharks.
That's nonsense. Cats are FAMOUSLY known for playing with their prey. Are you new to earth? You can even play with the cat before mealtime, that way, the cat "catches" the prey and get to eat. That makes the cat happy.
@@BillHicks420 you're the one who's new to earth if you think that's nonsense... i feed my cat once a day and she just eats it slowly throughout the day in her own time. she plays all the time independent of food and i've never met a happier cat. treating cats like wild animals who need to kill is doing a disservice to their intelligence and capability to enjoy play without food as a reward.
"Cats have contributed to the extinction of 63 species of birds, mammals, and reptiles in the wild and continue to adversely impact a wide variety of other species."
How about humans? Human has brought much more vicious species like mink to various continents that are born killers. But cats are something that has helped agriculture for centuries and contributed to keeping humans alive. Imagine how much worse like plague would've been back in time. It's not so black and white as you think.

God loves you and cares for you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this large universe and controls it completely. The greatest loss a person loses in this life is that he lives without knowing God who created him and knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. Great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and after that you have the choice to believe in it or not to believe in it. I advise you to do this now, before you no longer have time to do so. Life is very short. It is just a test, just a passage to eternal life. Great advice to those who... Understands
Yeesh, the audience is giving her no reaction whatsoever - that’s so tough for a speaker. I give her props for persevering and remaining upbeat.
I came back to ted talks to this... Imagine the disappointment.
Is explaining the observations of EVERY cat owner really a saleable skill?

Watching without a cat
Buy two,,,,,,, quickly!!!

We have a similar problem and the SureFeed Pet feeder solved it, please look it up
Have you seen those microchip feeding bowls? They're pricey, but would definitely fit your needs

Get at least two cats
Our cat asks us to play. You have to learn what your cat is "saying".
She said hand up and the crowd went 😐😐😐
Can mice get toxoplasmosis?
Yes they can. The infection makes the mouse lose their fear of cats. Plenty of youtube vids of this. Crazy stuff.
And about me riding the scariest ride on earth
Love dogs and cats why not have both. Total cat lady

But really, I'll bet your cat would enjoy the play part with or without the treats. Just put the regular food somewhere for the cat to find it. Our pet sitter put food around the scratch pad for the cat to find, and she loves it

@@LordDragox412 I am a fish.
I actually think separating food from play is more important if you want a cat with a healthy relationship with food...
