- 18 Strangest Cat Behaviors Explained. Here is the list of unusual cat behaviors.
Chewing on plastic
If your cat is chewing on plastic, blankets, furniture or other things they shouldn’t be chewing on, they may have pica. Cats often get pica from anxiety or disorders in their gut.
Itation of the ears
Ears movement is an indication that your cat is feeling uncomfortable or anxious about something in their environment. If their ears aren’t moving independently and are only slightly pulled back they are alert and listening to what is going on around them.
Not covering Their Litter
In the wild, cats dig a hole when the need to poop. When they are done, they cover it up to hide their scent from predators. If your cat isn’t covering their poop it is best to take them to the vet to eliminate the possibility of a paw injury or urinary tract infection.
knock off everything!
Cats feel their surrounding with their paws which are incredibly sensitive. By knocking things over they satisfy their curiosity, seeing exactly what will happen when they touch something.
Number 10 - Tiger Eyes - narrow pupils. cat's pupil.
This usually stems from their predatory response and they are probably focused on their next bit of prey. This could be because they want to play and have fun with you, or that they have set their sights on a bug to hunt.
Number 9 - Rubbing
As a cat owner, one of the things you would notice the most is how they rub up against you with their head. This behavior is called bunting.
Number 8 - Biting their nails
One of those reasons is keeping their nails clean and short. It could be thought that your furry friend is anxious or has a bad habit. Like people, cats can bite their nails when they are bored or if they feel anxious. And just like people, this can become a bad habit that is difficult to break. You will need to try and find out if your cat is just nervous or if they are bored and need some form of play or entertainment.
Number 7 - Crazy Runs
Your cat may start sprinting around your house or apartment, bouncing off of the walls and furniture without any warning. Naturally, cats can run up to thirty miles per hour and when they are kept indoors all day they energy becomes pent up.
Number 6 - Sleeping on your laptop
cats like the warmth of your laptop. Cats like temperatures of 20 degrees higher than human’s ideal temperature.
Number 5 - Eating your houseplants
Cats bite and chew plants for a variety of reasons. In the wild, indigestion is often cured by eating grass, so if they are feeling a little gassy they may start munching on your plants.
Number 4 - Crazy Legs
Cats sleeping exposing belly. sometimes laying down or sitting with your legs and arms sprawled is incredibly comfortable and relaxing.
Number 3 - 2:00am Cat Calls
Some cats enjoy a little night time singing. This can become extremely annoying, especially when you do not get to laze around all day and sleep like your cat does. There can be quite a few reasons why your cat is howling at night.
Number 2 - Straight from the tap
Generally, cats are not a great fan of water but a running tap seems to be their favorite drinking spot. Running water is clean and free of disease where still water usually contains all kinds of bacteria that may be harmful to your cat. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Ohh shit here we go again
I can't 😂😭
We had a cat that brought us Mice everytime she went outside (we live in the country). I always took it (in a napkin) and told her how thankful I was and hat a good huntress she was. I told her i was going to put it somewhere super safe (trash can) and she followed us to see. then a pet and a treat to praise her. she loved it.. I miss that old girl
Lol, I woke to find bloody little mouse chunks, a leg and a tail. They ate it!!!

, it also was her way of rewarding you for taking care of her.
@@sirdukeusa3289 Very true. She was a stray when we took her in had 4 tiny black minions under my bed. she was my first cat. I miss her everyday, but i know she felt loved.
I thank my cat every time she kills the sock and bring it to me...
That’s
What my two cats that my mum found where on the streets they culled lunar and lex
A little brown cat appeared at my house. I don't know where she came from. She was so skittish I started calling her Yikes. I'm a cat person so I started feeding her when I fed my other cats. She slowly started to allow me to approach her. Now she sleeps on my bed, sometimes on me. I feel honored to have gained her trust.
Did you take her to the vet to get vaccines, flea Treatment…etc before bringing her inside? I feed an outdoor cat and thought about bringing her inside, but not sure if she would like that since she has been outdoors all her life.
Had a kitten recently run after me on a night walk and miav at me until I stopped and waited for it. He would not let me escape him so I took him home and he slept the knight in my bed the day after I found the owner.
Now he was unfortunately an outdoor kat and was hit by a car less than a week later. I should have stolen that damn kat.
The more i watch these videos the more i learn how unhappy my cat was with my old roommate, he would only ever sleep in a hiding spot, never come out when they were around, and were really quiet.
Ever since i moved he's grown so much of a personality and runs around the house as happy as can be even when i bring a stranger over, i have no clue what my roommate did but i'm glad i got the cat out of there
my sister had a cat that would hardly come out from under the bed....probably because when it did come out it was squeezed to death by my ignorant sister. she thought that its behavior was normal!
I was never a cat person
But a random cat from the street started brushing against my leg and now im binge watching all youtube cat videos
Me too!!!!!
I hope you have adopted one by now
Same!
😂
You give cats a chance I didn’t like cats before and now I ADORE them and I’m there to SERVE them❤️❤️❤️❤️
The reason my mother allowed us to have a cat was because my father told her it would hunt lizards. And he was right. The cat did his job...and would frequently present the 🦎 on the back mat. Unfortunately, my mother was TERRIFIED of them... which was the reason she agreed to the cat in the first place. Having a cat as a pet? Wonderful. Hearing mom scream every time she opened the backdoor? PRICELESS! 😂
Hahaha. My mum had the same problem. She allowed us to get a cat because she is terrified of mice. Little did she know cats bring mice as presents.

@@susanrogers1916 Did a cat type that? I have a different cat now, but I once had a cat who loved to walk on my computer keyboard. Sometimes she actually somehow managed to click just the right keys to open programs!
Heheheh.
Well, I have an inside cat and an outside cat. The inside cat always brings small bugs or insects that are hiding, creeping around the house. My outside cat brings.. uhm... well he brings squirrels, moles, rats, and more
Great and informative video! Look forward to seeing more. I lost my beloved 15 year old Calico, Gweenie was her name. She died three months ago, and I'm still devastated. But I got a new cat from a local shelter. Lester was a year old when I brought him home and he's been with me about three months ago. He soothed my heart after losing Gwennie and made my grieving easier than whoul've been otherwise. At this point, Lesty needs a companion, another cat. To me a home without a cat is a house/apartment and nothing else. A cat makes the four walls a home. Warm regards to my fellow feline owners and lovers.
Hello Daniel how are you doing today
I hope things are going well with your new cats
In November '22 my wife died after a long illness, and I'd promised her I'll bring her cat Boots with me to the Midwest. she became incapacitated and I flew to NY to take care of Booty and prepare him to fly to MO where I live. She never wanted to live here so she stayed in NYC and we took turns flying back and forth. Now i have two cats, but Boots is a senior and was quite ill but is recovering after an illness in the liver and chronic ear infections. Now boots is mine and I'm his. Blessings to all of you feline parents! Thank you for your replies!
I loved your story Daniel and completely understand how you feel about a house not being a home without a cat. I live with no humans just 3 cats and I can honestly say they do make the place feel like a home rather than a house.
As my mom would say often “a house is not a home without a cat.” 🐈 😊❤️
"Knocking your shit over and breaking it is perfectly normal, you should not be worried."
I think this narrator is secretly a cat
😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Most people who hate cats never had one or understood them. ❤️
Cats&Foxes your absolutely correct! I used to be one of those people and I’m very sorry to say I missed out on a wonderful wonderful time with cats for many many years because of it I thought that cats were completely different than what they are! Five years ago a little baby kitten wandered into my yard weak and alone. Long story short I took her in and she taught me so much! Now I foster and I take an orphaned kittens and I am The most lucky kitty mom ever!
I hate my cat. I throw him around the house and he comes back and hugs me. This dumbass likes it
@@majdsabbagh8776 What is wrong with you
I’m a cat whisper
when my cat starts meowing randomly in a room by herself, i come running in thinking something is wrong 🤣
Cool! You just explained the mystery to me! I had a cat that would get on the kitchen sink and turn on the tap to drink. I was amazed that she learned how to do that, but I also wondered why she did, because I always gave her fresh food and water. I also wished she would've turned it off when she was done lol! Thank you!
My cat slams her head into my hand or the closest part of my body near my hand that is exposed if my hands aren't. Then she'll stay frozen with her head pressed into me until I pet her. I sat for 8 minutes ignoring her once to see what she would do. She didn't move. I finally gave in.
Same! Only the moment I stop petting her, her purring stops and she stares me down until I do it again and if she gets too impatient she'll paw at my arm
Putty Tat lobs U !
My cat does that too
My cat sits on my face at night until I play with her.
I never get sleep :(
Lmao😂😂😂 This made me laugh so hard! That is exactly what all the cats I've ever had did too. Gotta love them!❤
I got my cat from people who weren’t taking care of her and when I got her she was so cautious and now she’s doing most of the ones that says she’s comfortable and feels protected. So brb while I cry 🥲
Same! 😭 I feel you. that's how my rescue is she is so affectionate and cuddly. She was left abandoned on a highway
th-cam.com/video/kLe6c8c5v2w/w-d-xo.html
aw that just so precious 😭🥺 hope your can stay healthy and always happy
Same! Except that our cat is a stray cat and she doesn't let us touch her at first but now she's comfortable with us
I have many cats and have owned alot over the years and alot that people threw out and I brought in. The thing that gets me is when they are shown love. companionship and care they have turned into the best and loyalist friends. I ALWAYS think that the people who threw them out have no idea what they missed out on !
I owe my life to my 8 cats. Especially Suzi you saved my life and gave me so much love. Thank you for taking care of me and my family
That's a really great video. There's just one thing I disagree with: the bell on the collar. This can be extremely stressful for our cats. Imagine having a bell rigging all day long close to your ears. You'd get mad!
Very good point! I don't personally use a bell for my cat but I see it a lot. I never thought about it like that
I had 1 on my kitten thank goodness i was home the bell got stuck on floor vent i will never put 1 on her again
@@ServiceUnavailable... but completely disregard an outdoor cat's well-being.
I realized that my cat loves me, and I'm currently crying 😂
lmao
Same😂
Hahaha why is there a laughing emoji! Looool!
Yes, and know your cat KNOWS the instant you cried, they have you wrapped around their claw.
Same here lol 😂😂
We lost our cat a week ago. I find comfort in watching videos like this and remembering how he used to do these things. His name is Miles. He was a great beautiful cat. Miss him dearly 🙏🏻
**Edit after 9 months: I just read all your sweet words and prayers!! Thank you so much. Miles will always be in our hearts. For those who also shared their little story, thank you! For those who lost their beloved pets, I feel you! Sending you all hugs.
We rescued another Ginger Tabby Cat, his name is Lilo. He’s 8 months now! I wish he’ll continue to be fine and healthy. For sure Miles is looking down on him from the Rainbow Bridge. 🤍🤍
~hug~
Same😭
Hugs from Canada. Hope in time you will love another.🥺🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😷🇨🇦
❤️I am so sorry to hear that you lost Miles. ❤️ Sending hugs, love and comfort. ❤️

The "two am calls" start once we all turn off all the lights and go to bed. She'll start calling so I'll talk back to her and she'll come running to me and start rubbing against me for a while. I swear she's scared of the dark or hates that we all went to bed 😂
Yesss I swear my kitty ots on us the min lights go out she brings her feathers with the loudest bell on it and meows so loud like clockwork every night and I throw it a few times she brings it back and then goes n lays in the kitty hammock lol🤣🤣
my cat whenver shes upstsirs by herself wit de lights off n doors closed she calls out like"dont leave me here alone"
i just wanted to thank you once again for these amazing videos. i've started training with my cat about a month and a half ago and she can follow finger, sit, fist bump and jump in an arm hoop in sequence for just one treat! every time i post a video of her on twitter it blows up! she is not a very cuddly cat so this is has been an enormous bonding experience for us that we hadnt even known was possible. thank you so much!
My cat has gotten to the point where she knows exactly what time I go to sleep on work nights. She'll meow up a storm until I lay down so she can crawl on top of my chest and curl up near my chin. She's a great kitty.
This is so wholesome oh my🥲🥺
"If your cat is disrupting your life..."
This is so on point cuz my kitties no when we go to sleep amd get up right on schedule and will let ya kno when it time for both it's so awesome they do that to us ❤
I’m crying😭
I have my cat trained to remind me to take my medicine
*Cat brings dead animal to the door*
Me: What on earth?
Cat: You suck at hunting so i did it for you. Enjoy. :D
Me: só..you dont want dinner anymore?
Cat:
Eat clumsy hooman 😸😸😸
Dead mouse
"I love you, clumsy hairless cat friend ! Have some food !"
Meow: This is the result as you don't feed can on time!!
Is it weird that I love when my cat brings me mice? It makes me so proud…
There feeding you🥰
It's not so impressive to people who like mice. I mean I'd hardly be proud of my dog if he bought me a dead cat as a gift. And I'd be a bit annoyed if someone's pet boa killed my dog. I would also not feel very kindly to a human who killed a boa and presented it to me as as a present. I'm not happy about humans killing other humans, or live-stock, for that matter. Inflicting death does not give me a warm, fuzzy feeling.
In my old community, there was a cat that would wander around everyday and hide in the bushes. However, me and my friends saw him one day and he came out of the bushes just to play with us. He was the sweetest cat I have ever met- I don’t remember him biting even one person. We were feeding him for a month or so when we found out that he had an owner in the community and that he went missing. The crazy part was that he loved us more than his owners. So his owners established a new rule, and he came outside and roamed the community from 4:00 - 6:00. He would wait in the same bushes for us everyday, and we would give him a treat and chill out with him. I also just remembered that we got him a collar that said Maple on it, before we came to knew his real name was tiger. I love him, and I haven’t seen him in years, but I will never forget him.❣️ #catlove
We left our house and evacute to a safer place during the taal volcano eruption this january, when we came back after two months there is a cat in our house, maybe he felt safe to stay in our house despite of lots of ashfall all over the place, he never left since then I named him ashfall 🖤
And ash-hole when he is naughty? Glad you are all safe! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Yay free cat!
Aww i love the name. Right now there's a cat in my neighbourhood when i was in secondary like 13, im now 20 i used to feed him on a regular. But i stopped feeding him because i was busy and stuff. But recently i started feeding him again. Which i dont mind im not a cat person but i like feeding him. I have mice in my house THAT I'm trying to get rid of but its so hard. So i said i would love him to come into the house he do me a favour by kilking these rats and i take care of him. I wont let him do his job and kick him out no way, i COULD NEVER take advantage of him. But I'm trying trying to get him in the house but he's unsure. He loves home cooked chicken. Guys help me out please.
@@Naturalbrowning22311 Take your time, leave the door open but don't expect anything, let the cat come to you. Don't force it.
Am I the only one that was highly pleased by this video? It made me feel all warm and fuzzy and “aw my cat loves me so much!!”
There's nothing better than a sweet cat purring on your lap💕🐾💕
Hello Tina how are you doing today
Hello Tina how are you doing today
Really appreciate the informative video. So many of my questions were answered, and I am so grateful because I now understand how much our kitties love us.
I am blessed with the perfect cat. He sleeps at night and I never have to set an alarm clock. Such a clever boy. I love him so much!
Lucky. My cat’s a jerk and doesn’t even act like a cat. Zero cat like behaviors. Still love her though lol
I found it such an honor when my late cat DC would bring me dead mice....one problem..he was an inside cat that never went outside..yep..i was watching tv..DC went behind the tv which was in a cove in the wall and in one hour he brought out six mice and killed them..i know cuz he showed me each one..what a way to find out you have a mouse problem.. (it was winter and i lived in the country). DC was such a good hunter that when he died I started to ball and the vet put her hand on my shoulder and said " at least you know what it's like to be a mother of a serial killer"..to which i busted out laughing..I miss that old boy..great cat.
😹😹
Awww
Mother of a serial killer? 😂
@Ann Rohde awesome.
U lived in the country i promise you had mice all yr long lol
Thank you so much for this! You answered a lot of my questions and now I understand my beautiful, sweet, loving, athletic cat so much better! ❤️😻❤️
Omg this video is just so heart warming! I just melted! Lol wow I learned soooo much
My cat never crams into small spaces. She sleeps next to me, on top of me, on the bed, chairs etc. She must feel secure anyways. And she lived years without humans! Quite amazing!
My cat gives me CPR all the time. I can't breathe when she does that.
And then this stupid world wants me to wear a mask, I don't think so.
♥️🌹♥️Kumbaya My Lord♥️🌹♥️
Lord Jesus I confess I'am a sinner, I believe you die on the cross to save my soul, was buried and on the third day rose again, I repent of sins, Please forgive me for my sins, I accept you as my Lord and Savior, I hear your footsteps coming, I hear you knocking on my Heart's Door, Please come in and be Lord of my Life, Amen. Last person to accept Jesus, Please Hurry, Jesus is waiting for you.
I am in love with my neighbour's cat and he loves me as well. He is the one who makes my lonely life happy.
He use to prefer me over his owner anytime because I use to give him his favourite food, play with him and loves him so much.
But sadly, the neighbours are shifting home today with my buddy(cat)😔😣. I am sad because I will not see him again. I know he will miss me as well. From today, I will be back to my old boring days. I don't want any other pets as well because no one can replace him and no one will ever be like him. I will miss his rubbing, licking and meows 😔
All I want now is for him to be happy. He shouldn't be sad and depressed thinking of me. I want him to be happy as always!
You will be remembered buddy! 💔
Goodbye! 😭💔
I am in love with cats than dogs
@@Ouch_TheseAreTheDaysOfElijah How about you wear a mask because its the right thing to do, it protects those around you, and millions of people are able to wear them and do any number of tasks even before the pandemic. Lawn workers, surgeons, and carpenters all wear masks while doing difficult tasks requiring to breath without issue.
@@Ouch_TheseAreTheDaysOfElijah Not interested in your fairy tales.
Butt kisses from cat. That's just great. I hope he doesn't expect the same in return.
When my cat was a baby, he always farted in my face while doing this because he had problems controlling his "hole" xD

Seems hard to fart in your own face xD

I acquired/adopted a momma cat who was a stray.
She had kittens under my mom's house, and mom kept the kittens and I took the mom.
At first I wasn't thrilled about it.. I'd just lost my dog, my best friend, about 2 months earlier and wasn't ready to get another pet.
But now I'm so glad I have her - she helped me when I was feeling sad about my dog passing away... I'm convinced that she could sense when I was sad, and she would snuggle up on me.
She's the sweetest thing ever.
She had intestinal worms and fleas, and she lost most of her hair. I was really worried so I caught her and brought her to the vet, a few medications later and a few days later, she was parasite free and her hair grew back within a month or so.
I friggin love that lil booger now.
When my cat brings me dead mice, snakes, or whatever I pick it up with some tissue and I let my cat see me picking it up and I say thank you so much and I pet them! It’s a gift to you that they love you.
@Jevante P 0_o
@Jevante P And how do cats destroy your property? They kill mice and other pests idiot
@Jevante P Dogs are normally loving animals. You must've trained your dog to fight and kill.
@Jevante P dogs arent really overly aggressive to many animals unless they're trained that way. They're friendly animals. even in the worst times, they wouldn't kill unless provoked.
.... what did you do? Because that actually crosses a line and can become very dangerous if that dog got out of a yard. Then itd be animal control's issue.
@Jevante P what????
My cat runs around the house so fast sometimes that it surprises the hell out of me. And he doesn't go in any particular direction....just runs like crazy for five or ten seconds. Zoom, zoom. But the staring thing....gets creepy sometimes
Usually helping with bathroom activity!
Or burning off steam
James green how my cat would gallop around house and was scared yes we had a ghost
They see what you don't see
Just expending energy! No worries.
I have five cats! I adore them, each one has specific behavior... By the time you learn all the signals and what they are trying to say to you! Thank you for the video! ❤️ Really interesting!
I'm so glad I came across this, thank you....first of all the 'narration' and your voice is beyond articulate...this is fascinating and so informative, I love this...learnt the word 'bunting' how cool....thank you again, I just subscribed to all, have an awesome day.
I've had my cat for 17 years. I can usually tell what he's thinking and honestly I think he understands me better.
They do I agree
I rescued my kitty from a garbage in a very poor condition. Seeing this video I truly realised how much he cares for me now ❤️
I did the same thing. Found a one week old kitten in a chemical waste container at my job. Pure luck that I found her and if I wouldn’t, she’d be dead by the next morning. She’s turning 1 year next month and is the sweetest cat I’ve ever seen.... and we are best friends for life :-)
Same way I rescued my cat from a storm drain it's been 6 years and going strong
If you died your cat would eat you. Your just a food provider or food when your dead

I'm the life and soul of them 🥳
I got my calico cat from the shelter around 3 years ago and she’s always followed me around since we got her. She follows me to the kitchen, the bathroom, my bedroom, and usually sleeps with me. She always lays in my room on her back and purrs loud. Sometimes she sits on my lap and kneads my blanket or my legs. She’s always excited to see me, especially after long trips. She always rubs her head against me and never leaves my side. I was curious today why she had been showing this behavior for so long, and realized she just feels comfortable around me, so that’s good to know she’s a happy cat.
My cat just started peeing on my mats she has never done that she's 9 years old last night she peed on the floor I don't know what to do any answers
Great, great video that help cleared up some behaviors for me. Best video I have watched thus far about cat behaviors.
In 8 months i become a cat lady and now when i see a box i get excited cause im thinking i need that box for cats. They have brought me so much joy and love.
thats great!😄

Rubbing their scent is what a cat does to it's environment. It's a statement of ownership, an expression of territoriality. That includes their "owners," who are actually getting owned by their cats. I know. I belong to two cats. 💕🐱🐱💕
Haha - this is so true!
So true.My cat does rub on everything and she is territorial.
Hahaha I love this comment, I belong to two cats too 🤣🤣
Hahaha I also belong to two cats 🤣 there isn't a thing I wouldn't do for them and they know it 💜🥰
... to its* environment (it's = it is)
I never thought I was a cat person until I have one. Now have 5, they may be mischievous at times but I love them all
From 1 cat I ended up adopting 5 more of em ❤️ My 6 Angels 😘

Fantastic video very informative!
When I was 11, I got a kitten. I named her Butter cup (she was a calico) she was a runt so she was smaller than most kittens her age (8 months) she was adorable and loved to cuddle. One day while I was at school, my mom found her stiff on the floor of my room. I got home from school and my mom was gone, my dad told me she took Butter Cup for a check up. My mom said that she had to be very warm and fed every 2 hours, so as the kind mother she was, she took care of Butter cup for me. Two days later I was at school, excited to see Butter Cup when I got home (It was the last day of school). My friends mom drove me home and I asked my mom "Where is Butter cup?" She started crying and told me "Im so sorry, she died last night and i didn't want to tell you to ruin your last day" We sat on the couch, holding eachother and crying. If you have made it this far in my story, I hope you have an amazing, blessed day, you are awesome!
I was walking in a field today, there were 100s of Daisys and Buttercups. My own cat is named Daisy and now each time I see a Buttercup I will think of your wonderful cat. Many blessing to you and thank you so much for sharing your story with us.
Rose and Flower. oh lovely ladies, it hurts, I know, i've lost so many rescue cats, to cancer, cat HIV, liver failures. (8 cats in total in 18 years, all senior rescues, Daisy has been the only cat ive had since a kitten at 6wks, she's 8 in human years now) there are so many things I wished Id done differently, yet I can't go back. The one thing I hold on too is I loved them, all of them, with all my soul and more and you too Rose and flower I know you did too and you know what? They knew, they knew we loved them, they felt every bit of purrfect loving energy we gave them. Keep sending that loving energy, they can still feel it whether still on earth or in spirit they feel it.
I sorry for your lost
My mother would have shown me the corpse immediately and said that it was my fault - even if that was utter nonsense. That´s just the way she reacts if something bad happens.
When my dog died of cancer at a really old age, ( he had been extraordinarily healthy until the time of his death) she told me that I must have given him the wrong type of dog food because "where else would the cancer have come from?"
Deep sigh ....

My wife was a dog person. She grew up with one, and no cats. I was raised with a dog, a cat, a bird, and whatever else I brought home for a temporary pet. When we moved in together, I had a cat. My wife kept her distance, but Sgt. Pepper warmed her up to be a cat aficionado. Eventually, after we got married, she adopted a little kitty that was polydactyl, and that “Mitten The Kitten” lived 21 years.
I was always a dog person, but love all animals. I raised my cat as dog. As soon as I rescued him, I would invite people over and as soon as they walked in the door I would say hold my cat. I invited people to bring their small dogs over too. So he is used to being held by anyone, gets along with dogs fine. He has a harness and we go on walks. He even did a downtown pet walk once and was the only kitty in a crowd of dogs. He's my catdog.

They're especially good for ships 🚢 because of the sixth toe
There was two number ones.. anyway, another thing they didn't mention is cats function like clockwork. They are extremely routine driven and like to have
a set (almost exact) time of the day for everything they do. I have two cats (twin sisters) who are both poles apart in personality, but their routines are
enough to set the clock by, and anything that breaks the routine is met with sheer disgust and displeasure... and probably silent threats of getting
themselves some new human servants who will tow the line like proper staff...
This was a super well-edited video, very nicely done :)
large pupils dont always mean danger, it can also mean they're excited/need something to release their energy
I found a stray kitten when I was younger. He or she was rubbing up against me. I had no idea it meant “hello” 😩😩
Thanks for the valuable information
Thank you for a very informative video.
Me: *waves to my cat*
Cat: uh ok.. *looks away*
They are very fiesty dwl
I totally relate.. That if she looked at me in the first place then I would be honored if she looked aways again... She only comes to me when she sees me preparing her food
@@fflower7200 sameee
@kyle ngo Well at least they come to me because they
have nothing to do
xD
Does anyone else have a cat that wants to put you to bed? When it starts getting closer to the time I go to bed on work nights my cat starts meowing and pacing to me and the bed room, crying and then doing it again. She feels on edge until I go to bed. then often times she will climb into bed with me, purr and cuddle for a few minutes and then she gets up off the bed and goes about her business (she is very affectionate. She does not stay away or anything during the day or want me away from her)
That's so adorable, she is tucking you in 😍

I do have a cat his name is Leo, he tucks me in and he 7s a furry cat 🐈
Thanks for all the good info 😁❤️🐈🐱

You haven't mentioned running around the house like a lunatic.

DISTRACTING YOUR LIFE?
Dead ass my cat meows LOUD until I let her outside. Then I heard the screen door knocking. Thinking it was my son needing help with the door I opened it and my cat came in. Shes smart as hell.
you are right on with cat behaviors thumbs up
Great informative video about cats..Thanks
I have never seen an explanation for why cats love when you change the bed. I have had many cats and they all love to sit in the way and refuse to move when you are changing sheets.
I think they think it is a big game! My cat loved attacking things through the sheets until she fell off the bed by accident. She still likes sitting in the middle of the bed while I am trying to change them!
.My wife and i call it, he is helping me make the bed, lol, my cat named Buddy does it all the time.
@@corvettebmw More like preventing bed making!🤣😂🤣
Our cat will sometimes sit on you when you’re in bed, and refuse to move. You then have no choice but to stay in bed. But she does allow you to change the sheets, so that’s a plus, I guess...
Yes! Exactly...both my cats do this lol. It drives me crazy. But I also think it’s pretty cute. 💕
My cat sleep above my head when im about to sleep.
Its so adorable ngl
I force my cat to sleep outside where it gets raped by other cats

Thank you for the information. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you I needed this
I had this older cat once, named Saki. Whenever she was alone and couldn't see and hear anyone else, she would meow a loudly as she could possibly manage, which was very loud, until she heard or saw someone, then she would come running to them. She was calling out because she was afraid of being alone.
I have a 2 month kitten that does that. Even though we adopted him with his brother so he wouldn’t be lonely I guess he just wants a human.
@@Isa-uy9rw Perhaps your kitten is having some separation anxiety from being separated from its mother so early? You usually want to wait till the kitten is three months to separate it from its mother and send it to a new home.
Leave the t v or radio on, so they don't think they r alone. That's what I do!
Hi lovely person scrolling thru the comments I hope you have a great day! stay safe stay healthy! we will get through this together! anyway you can carry on scrolling through other comments now im done :3
☺️
Shut the heck and take my likes
Awesome!! 😁👏❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing!
The "staring at you" can also mean they want food and are just patiently waiting to see if you are going to get some out -OR- they want to rub and cuddle but know they have to wait for you to finish what you are doing.
Well, we humans can watch television. Can you imagine how bored the cat is to just be amazed, by watching you and what you're doing?
@@lilRadRidinHood you're their entertainment😂
Exactly! You are right. My cat starts staring at me from the moment she sees an empty space in her plate of tuna flakes,until I refill it.😂😂...we love her - the whole family.💕😘😽💞
☺️🤗
My cats use the staring at me technique as a form of mind control. For example, one of my cats will intensely stare at me for a while and then casually look at the door and then go back to staring at me. I can not resist. I open the door regardless of what I was currently doing in.
No bells please! Can you imagine yourself with a bell next to your ear, going ding-dang whenever you move? Bigger animals equipped with a bell, like cattle in the fields, are known to go deaf because of the constant ringing. So no bells, at least not on dogs or cats.
The worst part about bells on cats is it causes them distress because they lose their stealth mode
My cat has a bell but it isn’t loud I tested it on myself to see.
@@lauriee5364 This test is invalid, just compare how big you are and how small your cat is; not to mention the simple fact that cats' and dogs' ears are many times more sensitive than ours, they hear everything better, even the slightest sounds which are inaudible to human ears.
Not only that but a band around the throat is very uncomfortable for the cat. It's like permanent torture. I would never do this to my cat. Just try for your self how you feel running around all day with a rope around your throat.
@@lauriee5364 Did you really state you tested a cat bell on your own hearing? 🙄
Cats have outstanding hearing that surpasses any human. Did you also walk around with a cat collar on to see how dreadfully restricting they are?
Lovely & informative video 😻
Beautiful. Thank you.
All 6 of my cats sleep on their backs bellies exposed.
Gaslit for Life they curl into balls for warmth tho right?
They look so funny when they do this....

Great video 👍 I learned a lot. Thanks
We just rescued a gorgeous calico ❤ she's kitten crazy right now but so worth the trouble 😍
Enjoy it while you can when they pass that stage they sleep all day and in your lap at every opportunity.
⚠️ DO NOT PUT A BELL ON YOUR CAT the constant ringing when they walk can cause severe stress and anxiety ⚠️ otherwise, good video
Is this true? They don't seem to kind at all.
My cat is fine though, she actually rings her bell every time she wants to come in, which is smart and hilarious
@@dodgek5270 I mean, it's your choice. This is what a vet told me. Definitely do your own research if you're not sure tho. 😽
@@olshi4581 idk, a vet told me that 😂 your cat sounds adorable tho. I guess it depends on the individual cat, this is more of a general statement and it definitely doesnt apply to everyone
I agree. I did so in the past, & could tell it was upsetting the cats, so I stopped doing it.
I have important stories to tell but I know it would run 4 pages. Your content is great here. Thank you🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Wonderful video! Thank you
This helped so much! Thank you! Turns out my cat has pica :(
But because of this video you might have just saved her life!
Can you please tell me what your cat is chewing on? I've never heard of the term before. I'd really appreciate to be updated how the vet treats your baby. All the very best and cuddles to your fur baby.🐾
Heres my story.
I was never really a fan of cats, I was a dog person. I used to think that they're just mean. But my aunt decided to buy a cat. But at that time she was pretty busy, So she made me take care of her cat. I have never touched, or meet a cat in real life. So when I met her cat, I was excited. When I saw her cat I couldn't let go. Then hours later, I realized that cats are really sweet, and so adorable. So ever since then I would tell my mom that I wanted a cat but she said no, cuz we already have dogs in our house. But I saw a kitten available for adoption. And I asked my sister, and she said yes. Now I have a 2 month old kitten, And her name is Morana. But since my mom wasnt happy that I adopted a cat. She doesnt support me, and now Im raising her by myself. Im 14 and I had to go through different stores to buy her the things she needs using my money, Its hard. But I love her more than anything.
My family isnt really a cat person. But I think they just dont know what it feels like to be with a cat. This year has been hard for me, and Morana made me happy, when no one else can. If u guys can give me advice I would really appreciate it.
You are a kind and loving owner. I hope your family comes around to your cat.
I hope things have improved for you and your cat. I don't really have any advice besides love your fur baby. You are doing a great job!!!
Try bringing the kitten around the house more and have it get used to everyone but at the end of the day if you can’t support the financial cost of a cat then looks like you’ll have to find it a new home, think about the animal before yourself.
When I got my first cat, my mom was not happy. I kept him in my bedroom and occasionally would let him sneak out. After doing this many times, my mom got very attached. So funny! He would jump on her lap for affection. Eventually she gave in. He ended up being her cat. He loved her the most ❤️ and she loved him also.
Thanks for the information
We lost our cat a week ago. I find comfort in watching videos like this and remembering how he used to do these things. His name is Miles. He was a great beautiful cat. Miss him dearly
**Edit after 9 months: I just read all your sweet words and prayers!! Thank you so much. Miles will always be in our hearts. For those who also shared their little story, thank you! For those who lost their beloved pets, I feel you! Sending you all hugs.
We rescued another Ginger Tabby Cat, his name is Lilo. He’s 8 months now! I wish he’ll continue to be fine and healthy. For sure Miles is looking down on him from the Rainbow Bridge.
"I am not a cat-person"...Translation= My brain doesn't understand the epitome of CUTENESS, when I see it!
Dogs are cute, too!
Translation = I don't want a useless shit machine around to fuck up my house and to waste money on, while getting absolutely nothing in return.
@@jlantis55 Jesus christ dude. Theyre cats. Of course they're gonna be bothersome, but they also have a lot of benefits to humans, mainly being a friend to you! It's okay if you don't like cats. But the aggression from this comment is genuinely concerning. Every single thing has pros and cons, ESPECIALLY other beings.
@@jlantis55 Wow. Obviously you don't relate to cats purring, lying in your lap, wanting you to play with them, you watching them play because it's so cute...so many things that cat people get "in return" from cats
My cats bats around his water bowl. I'm getting a fountain for him soon. But I feel like he likes to play with the movements the water makes.
Mine too...

My cat only drinks water from watering can for the house plants
We tried bowls but they didn't like that, and the Watering can are in the right height for them
@@Hanmacx The day I got my cat she started drinking water out of the cup I was using. She's drank out of a cup in that same spot ever since and hasn't responded to any of my attempts to move or change the dish
Your cat will love the fountain! And, you will know he’s getting enough water
Thank you for explanation
Very Nice Informative Videos Thanks 👌✌️👍
My female cat does NOT COVER her poops and never has because she is a brat and doesn't WANT to. Her brother has ALWAYS covered it for her. Good thing Siamese cats live longer then most other domestic cats. 🤣❤😂
Mine does the same thing...scratches all around but never covers it up..lol. I even tried to teach him.
