    I fed an abandoned cat for a month, he had a huge deep slash on his cheek and was in rough shape for the first week, he eventually healed quite nicely. He recognized the sound of my car engine and would jump out of the bushes in overwhelming excitement. His chatter with me was more of an excited scream rather than a meow. One of the last encounters with him was adorable. While I was feeding him his tin of wet food, his ears perked up and he jumped deep into the foliage. He returned with a dead mouse and placed it on my foot, he then walked back to his tin of food and continued eating. I think the dead mouse was a gift for me? Someone from the neighbourhood eventually adopted him..............after not seeing him for a year and a half, I came across him again and he greeted me with the same excitement he displayed the first time I met him. Precious moment for me!

      I live in an apartment and one of my cats caught a mouse. Good kitty! I'm also glad whoever it was brought the mouse and left it at the foot of the bed; not in bed with us.

      I agree, he's meant to be a member of your family. I had a feral that was coming around. I'd sit with him while feeding him. Eventually, slowly, i got him to come in the house and he became a very affectionate family member. Slowly i broke him of going outside. It's tooo dangerous out their for them. Best of luck. He definitely seems to love & trust you.

    I wasn't even into cats until I noticed this; suddenly there were too many cats walking around in my city, Tehran. Since I decided to make my documentary "Adorable Cats of Persia, 1". I have fallen in love with these gorgeous creatures. Whether street or home-bound, they always have this magnificent aura of self-sufficiency. They will use us, but they don't need us and they won't shy away from showing us just that.

      My cats have needed me. I had one I bottlefed so he went everywhere with me & slept in my purse/backpack. He loved to go flying, car rides, tennis courts. Had a cat who took care of me instead of vice versa. I rescued him from a meth head or bc he was a RAGDOLL, that he even adopted a stray before he got sick from cancer. I think he knew he was going so he found me another cat, they were best buddies.

    Can confirm it is definitely possible to "tame" a feral cat. Can also confirm it almost exclusively depends on the specific cat's personality. I know because I tamed my cat who used to be a wild-born feral. Or he tamed me I'm not sure. It took about half a year until he let me approached him, another half a year until he was comfortable enough around me to follow me into the house. But even then he never stopped being a wild animal, he wanted to go outside a lot and brought back all manner of prey. Whenever he was pissed or confused he tried to fight me or run away but he always came back. The older he got the more cuddly he became and the quicker he accepted new humans around him.

      bless u, it also depends on the human, there are people, who knows why, the scared cat can see their persistance or read their auras...& that eventually overides the fear? in India they have old stories about holy men& women who becuz their egos have been abandoned, they truly are innocent like children & wildlife will walk up to them unafraid.
      remember the zoo where a small boy fell off a wall & into the silverback Gorilla enclosue? a massive Gorilla gently picked up the crying toddler & brought him over to the maintenance gate to hand the child over to zoo staff,u could see the empathy on the gorillas face & body language.
      one time at a jobsite in a rough neighborhood with my dog (who was protective of me & mistrustful of approaching strangers) well, a guy who was obviously distressed, coming off drugs, he was crying, suicidal, & i had him sit down on a curb where i tried to talk &calm him down, when i went into a building to use the phone (pre-cell-phone) i looked out the door& my dog sidled up next to the man & sat down touching shoulder to shoulder, my dog stayed with him til paramedics showed up, u could see unmistakable empathy in my dogs demeanor, he was looking up at me as if to say" dad, this guy is really hurting, we're going to help him, right?".

      My cat was born feral. I started feeding him when he was about 3-4 months old. He'd come inside and explore but only if I left the door open. He'd freak out if he thought the door was going to shut. When he was about 6 months old something scared him and he ran in my house and stayed for 3 days, only going out to relieve himself since he hadn't figured out the litter box. Not long after that I got him to the vet for shots, neutering and deworming which he desperately needed. Now, years later, he's an indoor only cat. He's bonded to me but is terrified of other people. The vet says he's just a drama queen and putting on an act for me.

    • @clicheguevara5282
      @clicheguevara5282 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Exactly! Cats are individuals just like us. I've known many cats who were feral, but extremely affectionate and social. I've also rescued totally wild feral cats and had them turn into total sweethearts. I've known housecats who were totally well behaved and peaceful, but ultimately indifferent to people.
      My cat, Mochi had a feral mother and a purebred ragdoll father. She was abandoned at just under two weeks old, so I hand raised her with a bottle. She's the most special, empathetic, and affectionate cat I've ever known - but she's also still very leery of strangers. She has a _very_ different personality than my other cat, Sushi - but they get along so well that neither of them is the alpha. I watch them make compromises with each other all the time. They almost never fight.
      I know both of them so well that I haven't been bitten, scratched, or even hissed at since they were kittens 9 years ago. Mochi LOVES to be picked up and held like a baby, but she feels unsteady lying on my chest. Sushi is the exact opposite. I just act accordingly. :)
      I think that with enough knowledge and patience, most cats can be tamed. ..but there are definitely some who just want to be left alone and there's nothing you can do about it.

    With my family our 2nd cat was a little bit afraid of me when he was a stray in the backyard of our house. He turned out to be a big sweetie shortly after meeting him. It was my fault on him on becoming his best friend. He even liked my sister and even my parents,too. I had a very special bond with this cat. Even the stuff that I did to this cat that no one could do. Maybe my sister can. I noticed that he had abandoned issues when we are leaving our home to go to the other home for vacations. He was a very happy cat that found a perfect home.

  • @ckallen1546

    They are highly intellectual. Our indoor/outdoor “country” cat has learned my dogs’ commands. The ones that he likes anyway. “Come on boys let’s go for a walk”. Or “Time to go home boys”. And “who wants a treat?” At these times he flits around with the dogs. Staring intently, silently at me until he gets a treat too.
    And the cat’s killing routine has changed. My youngest daughter is brought live small animals, or half eaten small animals. I made the mistake of showing the feline a mouse I caught myself in a trap. Telling him “You missed one.” Since that night the cat brings me his largest (dead) kills. And I mean largest. He nonchalantly drops them at my feet. Wherever I am. With a stare and friendly purrs.
    He also brings a wild friend to the front door. Meowing until I come to the door. Which is funny because our cat has his own “secret” ways in and out of the house. Comes and goes as he pleases. I look down. “Oh, it’s your friend.” I go inside, get some food. Put the bowl out and back away. Our pet cat sits patiently as his friend eats. Then they walk off together. Where, I don’t know. They always lose me. Weirdly…our male cat is fixed. And his friend is an unfixed, adult (older) male. They just seem to pal around. And are visibly comfortable with each other’s company. But our cat isn’t shy about demanding food for his buddy. Which always makes me laugh.
    Rough and tumble play is reserved for the children and dogs. As well as sleeping. With me, he just occasionally will sit on anything I am working on. And purr until I scratch his ears. Sometimes a scratch or two is good. Other times he is incorrigible and will try demanding a a whole fifteen minute session.

    Great video. Not your usual experts. I learned a lot. I have some feral cats that hang up in my yard and lumber pile. They are a family of three. They never make a sound, never meow. Totally silent, but they run around and play with each other. They are adorable! They sometimes tolerate me sitting outside nearby. What people on the video were saying is true from my experience. They love to hide and prefer to be out of sight of humans. They love to sit up on ledges or squeeze through small spaces like under a fence. They know all the places in all the yards where they can hide. I find them way more interesting than housecats. They move and act differently from housecats. They are incredibly graceful and agile. Such a joy to watch.

    I feed 6 feral cats right now that I've allowed into my crawl space to stay warm because I cannot get any of them to come into the house. All but one are related (I don't know where this one came from, he just turned up one day) and the rest are a mother and her 1 kitten from her first litter and all 3 from the second litter. It was just her and her 3 siblings at first that I found starving under a porch across the street at an abandoned house, but her 3 siblings eventually wandered off. My heart was in the right place, though my head was obviously up my a** because the cost of feeding these 6 plus the other ferals in the neighborhood who come here for food once or twice a day is getting costly as they get bigger. I thought I was doing the right thing but I have now turned feral cats into half-feral who depend entirely on me for their food. Now I'm worried about their ability to make it on their own if anything should happen to me, I'm 53 and both my knees have started to act up regularly (thank you childhood sports!) I hope they are correct in this documentary and they will find a way to feed themselves should it become necessary 🥰

      Everyone has an opinion of what the right decision is. Id say the best thing you can do is trap them and get them "Fixed" so the cycle they are in doesn't continue. Maybe work something out with a local vet? There has to be someone in your area that would be willing to help.
      My perspective? These cats are in the position they are in because of humans. At a minimum, it would be only the mother had someone been responsible and had her spayed. I hope you can find a way to do what the mothers previous owner did not do. This female cat came from somewhere even if she is entirely wild born etc. Maybe there was no previous owner.....but at some point in her lineage someone had a house cat. And here she is now.
      Truly its unfortunate when you expand my perspective out further and you realize that dogs and cats should have some sort of regulation and if there was regulation then when people buy a pet if it gets out it cant contribute to a population that a reasonable portion of the human population isnt interested in.
      I say all of this as someone who grew up with cats and dogs and loves them a lot. The suffering that comes from this on the animal side and on the side of people like you who try and make a difference....its a heavy toll. Sadly more avoidable than we would like to think.
      I think if at least they can be spayed/neutered then the cycle will end with them and they can live their feral lives naturally, as much as it can be called natural given the domestic house cats pre domestication distribution.
      Maybe you can even find others like minded in your area willing to pitch in $20 or $30 to help out. Its better for the community, the cats, and the native small animal life.

    ive got 2 cats totaly diff personalties. 1 is an outdoor cat and only comes home for food and sleep. the other is more of a house cat and prefers to be indoors but can go out when he wants too.
    the outdoor cat is very effectiante and always wants lots of attention when he comes home with lots of purring and head bumbs before going to get his dinner. the other tends to just sleep on the floor and doesnt purr very often and doesnt like cuddles. but he follows me around and walks by my side when i go to the shop. he doesnt like it if he cant see me and meows till he finds me again. he sleeps either at the foot of the bed curld up around my feet or on the floor next to the bed. the other one sprefers to snuggle up in my arms to sleep in bed with me.
    male intact cats can have a terriitory of upto 10 miles to patrol. males that have had the snip tend to only have a 5 mile territory. females tend to stay closer to home and only have a 1 mile territory.
    cats purring has healing powers. they dont just purr when their happy they pur when i pain as well as the puring acts as a pain killer and helps heal them if they have a broken bone. a friens kitten either fell or got thrown off a 3 story high baclony and she broke her hips. she was purring like crazy when i picked her up and wrapped her up in warm jumper to get her to the vets. she suvived and she was only 12 weeks old.
    When i fell down the stairs and fractured my elbow and tore ligaments in both wrists my cats sat on my arms and purred away for hrs it took my pain away.
    saw 1 story about someoene who was in a coma for years. a cat got in and laid on their chest and purred away and the person came out of the comma after about an hr. the nurse wanted to remove the cat but the doctor noticed how the montors were reacting so decided to leave the cat their to see what happened. The life signs started to improve almost straight away and it took them 1 hr to be fully awake again.
    Some care homes have reported their patients tend to respond better to having cats sit on them and purr than they get from dogs.
    ppl who suffer from depression tend to respond better to cats than dogs.
    Ive suffered from depression since i was a litle kid and my foster parents dogs didnt realy do much to help. but their cats got me out of my depression when they snuggled up to me. its something about how soft and warm they r and their purring that helps.
    i have COPD now and my cats tend to stand gaurd over me to make sure im ok. 1 is always home and never leaves my side. when the other comes home he takes over watching over me while the other 1 goes out. so ive always got 1 of them near me. last time i had trouble breathing 1 stayed with me while the other ran to my carers home at the bottom of my garden and meowed and scratched at his door to wake him up to come and help me. so they r very inteligent and look after their slaves as humans r slaves for cats were their pets not them r pets lol.
    they choose who they want to live with we dont choose them. If u go to get a pet kitten some will back away and hide while some come straight for u and make sure they get chosen. most ppl will pick the one that is showing off the most or making the most noise or most playfull. thats them saying pick me pick me.
    when i went and got the 1st of my current 2 i only had 1 to choose from as the other 2 had already found new homes so didnt get much choice put it was the 1 i wanted anyway from the photos i saw and he imkedialty decided he wanted to come home with me and didnt even try to say no. the 2nd 1 i got from another tenant who was going to dump him as he couldnt afford to take care of him so no choice their and the kitten had no choice but he loved me from the start and started training me to do his bidding lol.

    What the commentator says about cat intelligence actually contradicts where the narrator goes next. He shouldn't be talking about trained cat work. If it's hard to gage cat intelligence, because they don't always want what we offer in tests, it's likely we'd get a better metric of intelligence by watching them on their own, maybe even putting a camera on alley cats, who likely navigate the most serious challenges. Animals might be smarter on their terms than on ours.

    Apart from a few irritating or hilarious translation mistakes, i mostly enjoyed this documentary. I already knew a lot about cats and subsequently of the things in this documentary, but i still managed to learn some new facts about cats like details about the whiskers and the clavicles. Nice to the point style.

    in my area cats often had some territorial and personal disputes.... I was taking care of a street cat (i named him Jarad, after the name of Juice WRLD) i feed him but my parents never liked cats so he was always in our balcony (though often times i let him in my room but he prefers outside). Our house became his domain and are very aggressive towards outsiders especially towards tomcats, he always win as he's the most aggressive cat in my area, and he got wounded and broken bones in which i let him stayed in room until he recovers. There was also a time when i took in a kitten in which he attacked and got hurt, he realized that i took the kitten in and he accepted it (which i named the kitten Kittyvichnikov, i got it from someone on yt). But then a new cat comes to our area, it was bigger and stronger than him, the cat was calm and does not get intimated at all, not even by me (I called him Gus from breaking bad) and when they fight Jarad always lose until he left and never return. seemed like Gus took over the territory.
    Cats also has some personal disputes, like the another two street cats who never stops fighting, and not even about food or anything, they just hate each other.
    Female cats also dominated in mating stuff as they are the ones who chooses which they would like to mate with. My female cat Kittyvichnikov has many suitors. But the most dominant one took the terittory (when Gus left) and bred with her, they now have 3 kittens. Same thing to lionesses when a mom cat's kitten dies they immediately inclined with mating again but if they have kittens they don't want to.

    My cat was a stray. I don’t think anyone was nice to her. She was a year old when I got her from a rescue and she did not realize human touch was nice. She would rub against my legs and once she got her food she stayed away from me as far as she could get. She would bite me if I picked her up and if I started walking behind her she would turn abruptly and hiss. It took a year for her to want to even be in the same room as me. She would try to sleep and wake up abruptly and cry. I think she was dreaming bad dreams. Now she likes to get on my lap and enjoys being petted. I thought she never would do that. That took her two years. Not only that now she will come to me when I call her and don’t know where she is. She is smart. She will lay down on me if I tell her and she sees I’m trying to eat my own food. She knows, move, get in, get out, dinner, run, wait, no picky, come see mamma, and I don’t know what else. I spend a lot of time with her. I know that she is finally getting attached to me. She is not my favorite cat. I had two before her, both were nicer more affectionate cats. But she is the smartest of them and the most playful. I think she will become more affectionate as time goes on.
