- Do you think your cat hates you? 😾👇🏼 If you watch our video, you will see that cats can't hate in the way we humans are so good at. However, we can experience problems in our relationships with our cats due to the way we treat them. We may not understand that what we are doing is actually leading to problems, but this is likely because we are not paying sufficient attention to our cat's body language and methods of communication. If we do, we might see that what we understand is hate is simply a rejection of being treated in a certain way. Most importantly, a cat's behavioral changes might be due to a health issues, so it is imperative we take our cat to the vet if they starting acting like they hate us.

My cat only likes me when she is ready to eat.
@Wendell Ellisor: Just never feed her. Problem solved . . .
Same here 😂

I was a dogs person, decided to give a kitten a chance. I became a dog person more than ever.
my cat does that to ive got two cats one runs away from every thing and when shes hungry she will love us but my purrrfect cat always sleeps with my
5 real signs that your cat hates you:
5. It stares at you from afar.
4. It will not let you touch it.
3. it maintains eye contact with you while peeing into your shoe.
2. you find your favorite article of clothes shredded.
1. It slits your throat while you sleep.
jdlech that last one is a definite sign most of the time
You forgot plotting your demise
na my cats will just piss on u when ur sleeping.
My cat slits my throat and I yeet it at a window
That's stray
My cat: *doesn’t show me affection for 5 seconds*
Me: *googles does my cat hate me*
Omg this is me right now but I just got him today and that’s probably why

My cat literally clicked this video with her nose.
Wow. I feel attacked-
😂😂poor you sorry for laughing 😅😅
Oh no 😂😂😂😂
OMG 😭🤣😔
*doubt*
Stop lying
My cat never hisses at anyone but out of the blue she hissed at my ex boyfriend when we were still together . She sensed he was an abuser .
Good on her
Maybe your ex kicked her
no she did not, she just hissed come on, its not how it works, lol
@@rainbird9204 I would say its random, i dont agree with sensing ability of animals but who knows. Maybe animals can sens bad people, i would argue they can't, and they choose comfort and food not good or bad people in esence.
Drug abuse is bad
Street dogs and cats starve but people will still buy costly cats and dogs। The street animals are ones who need help
All my kittens were street cats...well except one my aunts cat had kittens and I got one all the others were found or given away by people who didnt want them.
@@allbets0ff134 👍
You are so cprrect!!,Neithe myself or my family ever bought any pets,all of my pets growing up were shelter animals only💖🐶🐱
sad to true all cats and dogs needs our love
What a stupid ass comment. By your reasoning there are so many neglected and unwanted children in our orphanages, and starving children with little prospects of a good life in the 3rd world, and yet we in our developed countries still procreate and bring children into our families. When I decide to get a pet and commit myself to taking care of an animal for the next 15-20 years I'd like to think I can choose where I'm going buy it and not be pressured by the likes of you to settle for a stray animal. Keep your judgemental ass out of other people's affairs!!
If your cat takes a large life insurance policy out on you.
And you end up dead under suspicious circumstances😆
😆😆😆😆😆
Robert Whitley Now that is FUNNY,
That is so funny!
I've had that happen, it is NOT funny!
My cat tends to attack me but she also follows me around, sleeps in bed with me and yells at me when I'm gone for too long so I'm very confused as to how she feels about me
My cat only seems to attack when his bowl is empty for an extended period of time and no one knows it yet. So he makes it known by going for me first.
"Hey! HEY! FEED ME!"
Sounds like your friend, but maybe you trained her by play fighting.
Maybe your cat has bad memory so she’s like ahh I’m going to attack then the next minute she’s like hang on I like this human
@@ameliew856 You could be right! I have a young cat, and when I softly cough 1x he is not happy, I'm saying sorry I know and he's answering! Don't talk about sneezing then he's giving me a total speech. I was told he was given 1 day to a young couple and they didn't wanted him, they wanted a girl? In my opinion that young man wasn't very kind with him and my cat is remembering the coughing. He's fine, soft, a real macho cat, but oh so afraid of everything! Perhaps this cat has bad memory from someone who wasn't very kind with him....?
Maybe your cat is bipolar.
My cat shunned me for 6 months because I went on vacation for a week BY MYSELF (I was about 12-14 at the time, I think. I don’t remember, I just know it was several years ago). She is a family pet, so everyone cared for her, but still. I left her behind for 1 week. She didn’t want anything to do with me for 6 months. SIX MONTHS!
Woops...
Yeah, I went away to college and left my cat home. My first break, my cat gave me the cold shoulder my whole time home and forgave me the day before I went back. My next break she did the opposite and was very clingy and affectionate but I still went away again. The rest of my visits hone she just treated me like an acquaintance didn't ignore me but refused to accept too much affection. Now, I live in the suburbs and I have left her on my parents' farm because it would be dangerous for her in such a different environment. She is happy to see me when I visit now, which isn't too often since the only way to get there is a 5 hour drive, but I know she is safe and happy and better off where she is.
Been there myself sweety just out of curiosity was it a female cat I've had that kind of experience with female cats but not males
I tell my cats when I'm going on holiday; it works.
Look how much you broke cats heart for it to heal maybe he/she was worried for 7 long days that something happened to you and then you come back smiling & not caring about your pet...
Not sure why I am watching this, since my 2 cats love me. They love to sleep with me in my bed and play alot.
U r blessed and you should be grateful for that. In my case i belong to India where cats are considered inauspicious , people deny giving their house on rent to Cat people. Inspite of all this I wish I get my cat soon..pray for me.
Or so they'd want you to think 🤔
Jonny Weber Probably for the same reason I did. I've never had a cat hate me and I was just curious what they had to say!!!
Same here. I think we;re watching ust on impulse b/c it was in our que b/c we watched other cat vids. I adore my cat and she adores me, and she's always purring and snuggling me, and sleeps w/ me. I am however worried about that cat in the vid b/c the guy w/ the red gloves seems a bit rough w/ that lil cat.
My Kittie sleeps w/ me most of the time . He was abused B4 we got him . So, he scratches & bites a lot . We try 2 B very kind 2 him & pet him & shower him w/ attention & adore him .
i just don't understand. I've always tried to be as respectful of my cats as possible because I hate when people are rude to their animals. But my kitties still don't love me :(
I’m sorry 😞
Have they any ferrel in them or have they been spayed? Also did you get them as kittens X sorry I no how you feel 😢
@@sarahmiller7636 not feral, both have been spayed. One I got as a kitten (a few months old though) and the other I got as an adult. The adult seems to like me but may have an injury because she doesn't like being touched very much. The younger one is just a jerk to everyone always.
@@tiellochridge ok as mine has a bit ferrel In him and he's very loving but cheek lol had to get his balls chopped 😢 but it's settled him with the biting etc but he's a jerk also but a loving one I got feliway it helps chill them the spray is good but suppose we just have naughty kitties 😂🙄😸💕💕💕💕 wouldn't change mine for the world X hope your s chills out a bit XXX
@@tiellochridge I would just let him be if not liking been touched best way less stress n cat happy too X
Out of the blue our cat kept peeing on my ex husband’s pillow. I loved my little Merlin but couldn’t get him to stop, so eventually we rehomed him. Later I found out my ex was having an affair with our baby sitter. I never was able to get Merlin back and to this day feel terrible for being so mad at him. He was just trying to tell me what a jerk I was with!
May be you are a jerk instead of him.
#1-4: "If it runs from you and hides. If it growls or yowls at you. If it attacks you." No kidding.

According to the title cats don’t hate but we humans force them sometimes to be aggressive
How silly to talk about the ‘hatred’ of a cat to us. A cat doesn’t hate you, he dislikes/feels threatened / uncomfortable with what you’re doing to him. The response is always: fight or fly. If he can’t fly or hide, he’ll bite or scratches. Before resorting to this, he has given you plenty of warnings through his body language, but you have ignored them all because you never bothered to learn to read them, you think your cat should react like a human. Well, they don’t - and they don’t HATE you, this is an anthropomorphic view.
I have a ginger cat and I have been told they can be aggressive at times but he is all sweetness in the morning when he wants feeding.
Myriam Ickx
I agree with you Mariam 100%, and even more, I have my own point of view about cats that they should be loved and respected , they are so smart, so sensitive, they are more than adorable, according to your comment , it’s up to you where to put it , but I think that it’s better if you put the comment under the video, so in this case you can reply to what you wrote so more people can read your comments because really your option is amazing
David McKirdy what O know about ginger ca that he likes to play a lot, although every cat has his/ her personality, but trust me, all of them are more than amazing
100%Correct♥
Cat's don't always bite and scratch as a sign of hate. My cat sometimes bites and scratches me playfully. She's NEVER bit or scratched someone aggressively.
My cat bites scratches, runs, hides, returns to scratch again (hit and run play). It hurts a bit sometimes, but I'm training him to understand what hurts and what's doesn't :)

That guy with the heavy red gloves: What the hell is he doing to that poor cat?!? Is he _trying_ to train it to be aggressive with people?
John Opalko I saw that too... I think the cat was brought to him
Because it is aggressive and he used gloves so not to get hurt but the red gloves have to be the worst thing ever to use for therapy..
Now it’s afraid of gloves!! 😏
@@Heavenzvoice Maybe the clip was edited and looped but it looked like he was, if you will, tormenting the cat, not just holding and examining it. I understand the need to protect yourself from an aggressive/frightened animal, but this clip looked like the cat was being deliberately provoked. Again, it could have been edited to make it look worse than it actually was.
It may be that the cat was already biting, etc. Like the video says, if the cat knows "Every time I bite someone, I'll be left alone" they will bite. If they see that biting doesn't get them left alone, and once they calm down they are left alone, then they may learn that biting isn't the answer when dealing with unpleasant human hands.
@@philojudaeusofalexandria9556 Hmmm, yeah. That makes sense. I hadn't thought of it that way.
It was part of a secret government program to make an attack cat. They tried it with my cat but couldn't afford the amount of Tuna she demanded.
My cat is 7 years old, he’s fat, he eats a lot, he’s half maincoon and he sleeps a lot.
The cat that I’ve always wanted :P.
lol

Nice ksi pfp
I want that too, does that mean I have to wait for him to grow that old?
Many cats also like to use their teeth and claws playfully, which I never minded. Knowing the right set of body language helps to determine whether the cat is not liking something or just wants to play.
A friend gave me her 5-year old Persian cat because she has a baby already and her dad doesn't want the cat nearing them also because of the cat's hairs.
Idk but I'm kind of sad that the cat is somehow not liking any attention from us. I learned that she hasn't been petted for quite a long time since her owner had been pregnant.
I think that the cat is kind of sad because she hasn't been petted and loved for quite a long time. At home, she always wanna live alone while I, with all my best, am trying to near her and make her feel loved each minute...
Please help me pray that Lily, the cat, will give us a chance to love her. ❤
how is your relationship with your cat now, after 1 year?
You're kind
My Siamese cat is a precious little angel boy, but my grandmother always had mean cats. My stupid cousins were allowed to play rough with her cats, and then they would grow up to be not so nice. I hate when people play rough with cats! I treat my cat like a baby, and he's always by my side, he's more loyal, and loving than many dogs. I'm always thinking, what can I do to spoil and pamper him more.

Unfortunately, people seem to forget that young children under the age of 10 should really be supervised by a responsible older person at *all times* when handling or stroking animals. And children under the age of 5 aren't old enough to handle animals at all yet. It's just best.
growing up with my grandma, she had an overfed neutered male tabby. His name was Lars. we lived in a Tri-Plex family "compound" i used to call it three seperate homes on one property. when I would visit my grandmothers home on our property I always wondered why the cat was mean and did not like to be touched. It would be a few months maybe years later that my sadistic piece of human trash of a cousin used to chase the cat with a broom stick, completely traumatizing him every chance he could get. Then I found out my psychopath of a brother did the exact same things. they actually thought it was funny. Once my cousin and brother moved out, and Lars passed away gramma got a new cat had no-one to fear.
I treat my personal cat at my house just as a baby. i dont understand how some people can be so messed up in the head they hurt precious little sweet animals. cats are natures gifts
I would kill a cat
You're awesome.
3:39 and 4:29 mark is playing, not hostility. Hissing, ears back and avoiding you are the true signs. The rest is play.
I had a cat who used to hiss and growl at EVERYTHING. I mean seriously, if she was sleeping with you, and you moved, she'd hiss. But then immediately she'd start purring again, and start cuddling and giving kisses. The strangest thing though was that she NEVER bit or scratched. EVER. And the other cats used to bully her because she wouldn't fight back. She was a complete wimp.
RIP, Gypsy.
She sounds the sweetest little fraidy cat ☺️
To raise a cat needs a lot of self-reflection and tolerance. I was never a really patient character, but I had to develop one, to avoid getting angry for my cats' behaviour. But the hard to swallow pill is that they're always right and your are wrong. They aren't stupid or evil or unthankful. 99% of the time their behaviour is just a reaction to your behaviour as an owner. At some point you will think that you deserve the cat's love, or that she must be grateful for all the things you give her. You start to think: how did I deserve this or that behaviour? I invested so much in this relationship. But a cat doesn't think in human timespans. Cats are living in the very moment and reconnect to you every day. If you start changing, because you are stressed in any way, they will recognise this almost immediately and react to it. They will most certainly back up from you because your stress puts them under stress. *Sigh* It's pretty difficult to have a cat-relationship. But it makes you more tolerant towards other creatures' boundaries, it makes you reflect yourself productively and it makes you patient. I love my cats, even though they're sometimes pretty challenging.

If only all people could & would UNDERSTAND this .♥
I always tell people my cat is the teacher I didn't know I needed. ❤️
@@niknik2664 I like this term. 👍
I totally agree with this and absolutely can relate.
After adopting 2 kittens, i feel that i am gentler and more understanding to my parients as a doctor.
Having cats train you to try and understand the unspoken words of others and definitely make you to be more patient.
Its been 2 years since i adopted them and its been one of the best decisions in my life. I love my kitties so much.
Please dont buy your pets..there are alot of strays that need a good home as a result of mankinds continuous destruction of this shared space on earth which is also their home.
I have found that female cats tend to bond better with Men whereas male cats tend to be mummy's boys. I have always let my cats make the running in terms of our relationships. I speak cat quite well, so I can judge what they are telling me. My last cat bonded with me as soon as I got her home. She jumped out of her carrying box as soon as I opened the door. Then she trotted by my feet as I showed her every room in the house. That done I sat down to relax and she jumped on my lap and fell asleep for 3 hours. At bed time she jumped up onto the bed and lay on my pillow right next to my face. That established our relationship and she was the one who dictated how we bonded. I just did as I was told.
My old female cat used to loved to sit on my lap
That is so true but I had a female cat that only came to me but my other female cats prefer my husband to me, the male cat we had I had a very special relationship with him. He was my little man
My female cat absolutely loves me and she is female. ❤️❤️
Also have a male cat. Both my cats are cuddly, especially at night. So sweet.
You're awesome.
This is soo true!
It's super funny how my cat recognizes the intonation of my voice when I'm greeting her and when I'm looking for her. In the latter case, she will calmly come, pat me gently and leave again as if to make sure to tell me "hey, I'm right here" and then going back to her stuff haha
Cats don’t hate anyone. They are just afraid. If you watch things like this and learn how to interact with them without scaring you, they will come around.
It almost looks like some of the cats are being mis-treated in this video. :(
yep was going to say the same thing.
You are 100% correct. I see the same thing.
Yeah
Some cats are just like that
I treat my cat like a king but he hates me :(
My cat Loki The Cat of Mischief, lobes me to know end. He's always by my side. He's even is the little spoon when we go to bed. He likes my stepson too. But he hardly ever goes to my husband. Loki and I bonded when he was little. I had rescued(stole) him from an abusive neighbor. They tried getting him back but as soon as I mentioned police and abuse in the same sentence they scuttled on home. I protected him and i think he's returning the favor. Is is a beautiful Russian Blue mixed with a long hair something.
I have a black female cat who is almost 3. She was born outside and her mom was killed by a car. I took the little fluff ball in and bottle fed her. Why am I telling you this? She is named Loki after Loki the god of mischief. ^_^

I adopted a kitten about three weeks ago, (she is thirteen weeks now) and she gets along with everyone in the house! She does none of these unless she’s in play mode, investigate mode, or hunting mode(we call them modes because it seems like she switches them on and off). It’s adorable when she looks directly into your soul when she’s hunting you🥰
She once slept on my eye for 30 minutes.. longest 30 minutes of my life.
My cat just doesn’t like me :) I see a lot of cats being incredibly sweet to their owners. My cat doesn’t mind me, she doesn’t hate me but she finds me annoying 😂
UPDATE: It's been a year since I adopted her we are now best of friends and she loves me.
Same :(

Get a dog idiots or give your cat food they love your food more
We're not idiots. Not everyone needs a dog. There are tons of people out there who have a fear of hem or don't like them. Plus I just like cats better
@@notrice1608 Stop fucking hating on cats, they're as good as dogs. Also, if you hate them, why are you here??
I had a traumatized cat but she was not aggressive or hating. She was terribly afraid and trembling badly. It was so bad that the first vet visit Triggered my vet to step away and ask me "uhm... Is this how you got her from the shelter?"
Well... Partly, at home she had already overcome the first part and sat on my lap and even loved tummy rubs. I asked him why he asked. Turned out he "would have put her to sleep when doing the adoption checkup, because she would never stand any chance of rehabilitation".
I was shocked, but also happy to tell him how things were at home. Yes, she was jumpy and a wiggle of my toe made her jump off my lap instantly, looking at me from a safe distance. But all I had to do was speak to her calmly and lay my hand away from my body on the couch. That way, she came back to the here and now and as soon as she had sniffed my scent she came straight back on my lap.
She ended up overcoming all in the 6, 5 years I had her. She felt comfortable walking after me to the kitchen and back beside my feet and even became cheeky enough to (try to) steal my food 😁. All I ever did was sit in the same space as her from a distance, talk, let her get used to me but not move in. 3 times a day, 5 minutes or so. Then the next step was my hand between us. Let her come on her terms. She sniffed once and rolled over for a tummy rub. I was amazed! It took her a few more days to come to the living room but I did still do the visits while she became more trusting and playful. After that I let her take the steps on her terms and her speed. It worked wonders with her and it all just felt so instinctive. 2 years after first vet visit, he semi-seriously asked me if this was really the same cat or a different white one as she had changed so dramatically. She still didn't like it much, but the drama of the first visit was way gone. He could pet her, an intern could and she was just not trembling like she would fall off the table with a heartbeat I was afraid would stop due to fear.
I fell into illness and a depression and still blame myself for not spending more time with her during that time as it turned out to be her last months. I had to let her go right after New Year '16. My little heroin. I miss her dearly 🐾❤️
What a beautiful story God bless you 😻🙏🏽
@@nataliejean139 thank you ☺️
Why? What happened? Honestly i love humans like you! My cat was the same but i did what you did and now my booboo is still a lil skiddish with some strangers but shes come a long way from when i got her.
Btw I love your heart and humanity!!
"My little heroin" 🤔
Yeah my kittens probably hate me cause I gave them medicine. They're sick but still like hate me for it only one kitten was like, "Thank you human for treating me well" 😂😂😂😂
LMAO
Cats have very strong survival instincts and think that everything that is forced on them (like medicine) is poison. They don't hate you. Just show them love and gentleness and they'll learn that you are there to protect them.
@@miriambucholtz9315 Ohhh I see thank you for the information! That certainly helps me! Yeah, they did warming up back whenever I pay more attention to them, it takes a bit of time to warm up back but it's fine as long as they're healthy it's good for the wait. Unfortunately my kittens probably allergies to the small flowers in the backyard but they still wanna play with them and I can't stop them so they regularly took the allergy organic herb medic, it has strong herbs oder and very bitter. That's why they hate it. 😂😂😂
You should always pet them and love on them after giving meds. If not they think you are being mean to them
@@Bryan-Hensley Yes thank you for the feed back!
My cat adores me when she’s hungry, I’m now addressing this issue by giving her the tin opener and can of food tomorrow. I would imagine by next week Tilly is on my lap loving every moment spent with her mother. Next weeks training is “how to wash up my own food bowl” 🙀🙀🙀🙀
I find that a good general rule of thumb is that if your cat doesn't hiss at you then you're all good.
You and your cat are inevitably going to annoy each other from time to time, which is ok; and they'll forgive you and forget about it fairly quickly. Like, when you pick them up, or pet them when they're not in the mood, or if you shout at them for using the door as a scratching post, or whatever.
But if it gets to the point of hissing then it's usually a sign that they're afraid for their life, or at least that they feel really threatened.
But not always, a casual hiss is fine on it's own, when not accompanied by the dilated pupils, ears back, and tail swaying, etc. One of my cats gave me a casual hiss a few weeks ago when I asked her if she wanted to go outside for a poo. It was the funniest thing ever!
And my other cat hates that cat, and she casual-hisses at her several times a day when she gets within a foot or two of her. Or when she walks into the room. It's almost a greeting at this stage. Kind of like _"hello, but stay away from me."_
It really is all about knowing them, and the signs.
Also, lot of mistake-attacks from cats happen due to user error, when you're tapping your finger on the side of the chair, or something like that, and you don't see the cat sneaking up to attack the "moving thing".
Stop petting when they dont want to and dont put your fingers in their mouths damnit
true. im going to start brushing my cats teeth soon, so she wont need any extractions in the future. shes a great sweet cat, but i know itll piss her off. When i apply her Bravecto (flea med which i highly reccomend) to the back of her neck, she avoids me for 3-5 days. sometimes ill see a little blood in her stool.
Blood in stool is not normal
@@barbarawilson958 of course it is not normal. But I know it is stress induced, my baby is a sensitive one.
@@mikedean5060 why would you brush his teeth,m just get dental treats.
demonpride1975 because I work in veterinary medicine, and don’t want my cat to get gingivitis or stomatitis.
My cat was a sweetie, she only scratched when you rubbed her belly which I would sometimes attempt to see if she'd change her mind. When I got her at 5 months old 2 years ago, I wanted to have a healthy bond with her and reassure her she had freedom and that her comfort was respected. She had free roam on our 5 acre land and she would eat, sleep and even explore inside when she wanted, she loved being outside. She was a lovely cat to talk to she always made sure to get her point across! I miss her everyday, but she's in a better place.
Talk about MIXED SIGNALS! THIS video is full of footage of LOVE Nibbling, play hunting and frolicking, and general good spirit right alongside clips of stressed out cats. This is not a clip art presentation, is it? Curate your footage!
03:01 - "You might also observe the cat holding their tail high as a warning signal"
Other cat "experts" assert that keeping the tail high is a sign that the cat is happy to see you.
Can you experts please reach a consensus?
High tail is happiness & complete relaxation & confidence.
I was taught that when a cat (dogs too) carrys it's tail high most of the time it means it is an Alpha; Male's and Female's. My personal experience of 57 years, 99% of the time, that's exactly what they were. However, I not an expert, but I do believe that there are some cases where this doesn't apply.
My cat is mostly ambivalent. He does whatever he wants when he wants.
Never heard of such behavior.
I had a cat that hated me in every fibre of his being just after I'd got him and his ladycat friend. With good reason. Only I couldn't explain to him that his friend was very ill and needed to go to the vet ASAP, and right now their safe hiding space under the couch was not a priority. I was in a state anyway as I didn't know whether she would make it. So prospects: One cat probably soon dead, and another that hates me forever. Liquid cat poop everywhere. Yippee yay. I had no clue what to do so on to Google I went. The advice I got: Don't approach the cat. Leave dirty laundry around so the cat gets used to the smell. When he watches you from across the way, slow blink but do not approach. Tell the cat everything you're about to do. You can't see him but he will hear you. Well any advice is better than no advice so I followed that to the letter, It worked. Took about a week and we were good :) Princess made it too though sadly we never formed quite the same bond. Cats are amazing at not holding grudges, I would not have been that easy to bring round.
You are such a good and patient person! I am not so good with mine! When I leave the house and my cat would throw tantrums by messing up the litter box or leaving bits and pieces of food everywhere! Once he even vomitted on my clothes! He never does anything bad whenever I am home!
I am going to either give him away now or if no takers, I will leave him in the jungles of Thailand!
@@masaomieric Thanks :) I don't think I had much choice in the matter than to be good and patient and "stick to the manual" as I had no interest in finding out what making it worse would be like. The quick result was due as much to the cat having a rock-stable personality, he was acting up because all hell had broken loose on him and he must have thought he'd lost his friend, and gained a human that was dead set on violating his much needed privacy even if it meant moving furniture around.
Sounds like you have a very dependent cat. Getting another cat to keep him company might be an idea, but that's a massive challenge in itself from what I've seen, depending on your living circumstaances. I'd google it, worked for me after all :)
@@masaomieric Sounds like he misses you and us stressed when you're not there. I think good advice has been given by the person above me.
It's clear she doesn't hate you at all, or is stressed by you, but by your absence.
Try to close the doors where your clothes are. The food and litter, well.. I understand it ain't fun but sweep it up and done.
But, and that's the hard thing, some cats just don't do well when alone and also don't do well with other animals. Have you asked your vet or a cat behaviorist?
I would take him in, but that would be a little too complicated I'm afraid.... Unless he's been vaccinated properly, I would seriously pick him up at the airport. I'm home all day, after about 1,5 months or so, carry the costs of his flight for you if you can make sure he's got all his vaccines.
So if you're serious about giving him away, please consider and contact me. I would be sad if you had to let him go out in the jungle, when he clearly seems to need company, when I do too.
@@fluffy9589 that would be so great... a cat is vomiting after take a bath by herself... this owner deserve not this sweet cat, he is cruel at heart if he will take the cat to the woods... poor cat. This human is knowing nothing about cats... he should be throwing away in the woods 😿

Then slap your brother and tell him to stop or your a pussio.
We adopted a cat from our local SPCA & we were told she was about 6 mos. Nope. Vet said she was around 2 yrs old. She absolutely hated us. Swatted at us. Growled constantly. But she simmered down and tolerates us. She barely purrs. Doesn’t meow even for food. She is so stubborn but we love her from a distance. Every now and again she will snuggle with one of us. Extremely rare. Usually when we need to get up to go use the restroom. And she still swats at us but she doesn’t use her claws unless she is really ticked off. I guess that’s the best one can expect from a once feral kitty.
My eldest cat ignored me for about a month after I got a kitten. She’d always been super affectionate but then would hiss and not touch me. It was heartbreaking. She did get past it though, the cats get on now and I’m close to both.
I've always had a fantastic relationship with ALL of my cats. They are amazing creatures and incredibly loving when you take the time to know them.
I know. I've had good relationships with cats that weren't even mine, like the cats who lived next door. Domestic cats when looked after properly and treated well are fantastic
Spike 32 I don’t have pets,but I’d want a cat. Too bad my brother has allergies and my mom doesn’t allow us to have pets cause of the responsibility that comes with it,but I bond really well with literally any cat I meet,and I love them so much ❤️
You spit lies, I’m now suffering from 7 bleeding cuts because I sang to my cat, ik I don’t deserve to live but didn’t have to put it that way jeez
Jeff Yy well,all cats scratch. They all have claws,I’ve even been scratched a bit by my friends cat,although her cat actually loves me a lot but uh,your cat could be annoyed,or wanted to be left alone? But you shouldn’t blame (or something) it on the cat. I mean,they’re cats! All cats do have claws,unless you cut them. But like,those cuts will heal,and if you put scars on your cat that would be really bad. Owners may get cuts by cats from time to time,but that’s normal unless your cat doesn’t have claws (assuming that they were cut off) or your cat doesn’t claw people,etc.
Midnight Wolfie I would never hurt my cat even if she hurts me, so if you think I’m a bad owner call a shelter to take my animals away, I’m new to cat owning so if you just assume that I’m a bad owner for not knowing much on their attitude problems you are the bad one here, she isn’t my first cat, my first cat got hit by a car because I let her roam outside, so obviously I don’t know much if my cat is dead
3:29 why is that guy in a cardboard portaloo toilet haha
Cats are so soft and fuzzy and cute, it is hard to resist the temptation to treat them like living stuffed plush toys to play with. But you have to learn and respect their wishes, and their communication, if you want them to like you. If you want a cute animal that loves you no matter what, just get a puppy anyway
My cat loves to play and bite me and kick with his back paws and then curl up and sleep on me
Most likely reason your cat hates you is because your treat it bad
Or Acts Like These Un-Caring UnEducated Brainless Humans on this Video.
Not true. Our two cats won’t go to my mother and run away from her, but she treats them exactly the same way I do (and they love me). Our previous cat absolutely adored her and would never move off her lap. Sometimes it’s something beyond our control.
Nathan Cox or if you rescue cats like me from animals shelters to care and love for them like family and treat them like their in cat heaven but alive ! Some are agressive but within few days to a week they get calm and start to show some care for me but like he said in this video I didn’t know it may be health issues from cats such as trama from past experiences with other humans that they will sometimes bite back when don’t want to be picked up or pet.
Adam Hudson No body needs to know that! that’s gross!
True
Can a cat learn to understand affection when they are older? I have a 4 year old cat that I adopted from a local shelter. The only day she ever let me pick her up was the first day I got her. She does not like me to pet her back. She makes a lot of growley noises at me yet, she also gives me kitty kisses, meets me when I come in (most of the time) and will lick me. I do not know what her home situation was prior to coming home with me. I know that she was a surrender. I didn't even know that before she was brought to the shelter she had never been spayed and had been nursing a litter of kittens with scant milk supply (she is very thin) I have had her for about maybe 4 weeks now. I have seen her go from not liking me to touch her to her tolerating head pets. I think she actually does enjoy them. However, over all she is just a very grumbly growly cat. She even makes a nom nom nom sort of growling sound when she eats! I have another cat that she has a pretty good relationship with. They sometimes hiss at eachother or growl but then nothing happens. Or they both wide up sitting together on the same cough minutes after a hiss. I think she is learning some social skills or maybe she is becoming less scared. Could she be watching my other cat to see how that cat reacts to me and sort of learning from her? The O.C - original cat is a few months younger than the new one. She will be 4 in about July- August so that is about 2 months from now. I mean I know a 4 year old cat is an adult cat but, I understand that cats can live into their teens and 20s so I still think 4 years is still relatively young when you look at it that way. They say you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Will my new cat keep learning more about living in a loving home? When I first got her she would shudder at my hand or try to lash out, hiss and still loves to growl. However a few days ago I was having a very bad day and I sat on the couch and just cried and cried and cried. She looked at the O.C who is actually a dr prescribed emotional support cat and I swear it was like they exchanged some kind of expression or thought because she was the one that crawled into my lap and let me pet her for a good 5-10 minutes. That should be a sign that she is warming up to me right?
I have 2 cats. I invited my friend over to hangout and meet them. She owns a dog but i figured she knew how to be gentle. She started petting my cat like a dog. Dogs like the rough both way rubs. Cats hate it when you rub their fur a different way and hate it when you pet them hard. My cat bit her gently because my cat was scared and shocked. My friend was dramatic and hated my cats she never came to my house again. Me and my friend are 13. She has had experiences with other cats i guess no one corrected her
They're adorable, even when they're angry.

We got her as a kitten and she lived 21 years long. She wouldnt always attack me and would let me pet her alot but other times she'd hate me. Idk haha she was cool
no animal "hates" you unless you abuse it severely. It just shows you it feels uncomfortable, anxious or threatened when it behaves hostile. There is always a reason. Find it.
that scene with the red glove looks so cruel
Exzally ♥
That one didn't look good, but WTF is wrong with the guy in the box.
My cat loves me, but he's feral of other ppl and other cats. Probably any living animal....I don't think he hates.
They hate!! My cat hates my son, and I don't blame him. I don't like my son much either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My cat is really nice around kids and people, but if he finds a other cat in the garden he goes into murder mode! (it looks like he's possessed by a demon).
I once had to chase my own cat away with a broom, because I was afraid he was killing the other cat.
@@TheCivildecay My cat Jeffrey is sweet, but he hates other animals. He does hate equally, both dogs and other cats. He raises his back and hisses.
Well based on my experience, cat hates other cats for some reasons. Young adult male cat usually nice and friendly toward other cats, but when it becomes full grown cat ot become territorial and hostile toward other male cats. Female cats usually hostile toward male cat that only came to mate her.
I don't know the reason why cats hostile to other pet animals like dogs. If the dog is nice, usually cats pay it no mind.
@@debrahubbard763 Maybe because your son abuses the cat.
When your cat takes photos of you in the shower and puts them on their Facebook page.
My cat doesn’t do any of this. But he likes to play bite me a lot like the white one wrapped around the arm or the red glove. He always begins this play and hits my calf to tell me he wants to play bite. I think it’s natural and he likes it since he doesn’t have any other play mates to aggressively play with? Idk
His other behaviors are nothing but love. He talks a LOT to me being a savanna/bengal mix. Every time he sees us for the first time he wants love and kisses on his throat and belly. And will wrap his tail around your legs. He sleeps with me anywhere I’m sitting he makes sure to be up against me and loves staring at me from a far so he can be sly and sneak attack me with tapping his paw wherever he can. We play tag a lot also. Sorry for the long post lol I wanted to tell you guys how awesome he is, but he does love to play bite a bit.
Not to brag but my 16 yr old cat Leo is the perfect cat. Super docile, sweet, playful & friendliest cat in the world. He has never bite or scratched me once... serious. I love him to death & I’m sure he feels the same way.
You must be doing something right 😺😸😺. L.L.&P🖖. ..... And God said it was good
Mega12AX7 I think it’s more of he’s breed. He’s a male Burmese cat & it’s been noted they are the most docile laid back cat. I never had a problem with him once. There are super intelligent & dog like too. He loves to follow me room to room, very chatty & plays fetch Better then my dog.
@@sammysworld5485 sounds like a really nice one "man's best friend"😺😺😺 also applies to cats
For sure the breed makes differences, so you can be very lucky 😻
SAMMY’S WORLD Sounds a lot like my cat, who will soon be 19 yrs old. Mixed breed cat descended from alley cats who were fed for many years by a friend of mine, though most of these cats had some Siamese ancestry. I adopted him & his twin sister when they were 7 weeks old. They’d been inseparable since birth and remained very close till her death at age 17. My remaining cat grieved severely & almost died within a few months of his twins’s death. But he gradually began feeling better, after about 8 months, has since gotten progressively better. He has always been very affectionate, also very funny & entertaining, always trying to amuse me, has slept on my shoulder all his life. Couldn’t ask for a better friend! Like your cat, he’s very friendly with everyone he meets...humans, other cats, kittens, dogs. I’d never lived with a cat before he & his sister came to live with me; I’d always had dog companions. Maybe because I treated him & his sister like puppies when they were young, don’t know, but they always behaved more like dogs: super affectionate, very dependent on me (hated whenever I went out for even an hour), usually coming when called, etc.
Glad to see someone else has an elderly cat who’s a perfect companion like mine!
I found out why my friends cat hated me last week. I had never really been able to win her over before, she is a rescue cat, a tortie and a bit standoffish. I was wearing a woolly jumper and had my arm laying across the back of the sofa and she kept jumping up and frantically nudging my arm before biting it and jumping off. I at first I thought my arm was in her spot, but even if I moved my arm, she was still nudging and biting. As the night went on, I got a bit hot and took my jumper off. Again, she jumped up on the back of the sofa and this time, she was very friendly and I was able to stroke her and rub her ears. For some reason, she hated my jumper. My friend who was up before me the following morning told me that she had attacked my jumper that morning, but with me she was still very friendly.
I have no idea what problem she has with my jumpers, maybe she objects to the seemingly pointless use of wool or maybe she is getting a slight electric shock from it, but I know now what her problem with me was.
Bit funny lol.
I have two cats one we adopted him from the shelter and the other cat she showed up at the back door one day and never left. They are too sweet and loving cats if you're sitting on the couch the male will jump up on the couch and tap you with his paw and will give you kitty kisses and knead you. The female she will meow at you and roll on her back so you can pet her belly. I lost control of the bed it's no longer my bed it's their bed now, so now you know who runs the house. All and all I wouldn't give them up for anything in the world a home is not a home unless it has a pet in it.🐈🐈🐾🐾😉😘😊
The way these cats are being handled in this video is outrageous.
And unfair
I'm trying to understand more, can you please leave a timestamp of when a cat is being handled poorly in this video? I failed to notice it. Thanks!
@@n-o-i-d The guy with the red gloves might be and the guy in the box definitely is. Those are just a couple examples.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade I only see them playing, lightly touching the paw of the cat (the guy in the box). But thanks for taking your time to respond :)
Yes it is outrageous....
Outrageously funny 😜😜😜😂😂😂
Those padded gloves are a really bad idea as is letting your cat gnaw on or claw your hands. Not good.
This person with the red gloves seriously stressed me out
When I want to play, I put my hand under the blanket and my cat knows it's ok to be tougher when playing. As soon as I take it out, she knows not to play so hard. Shes not the only cat I have had that's done that.
Well that person was wearing the gloves to protect himself. Because by the looks of it that cat was really triggered and that guy had to wear gloves to protect his hands. Remember cats are carnivores, so they could do a lot of damage to your hands if they wanted to.
I don't know about that idea, could it be that some cats don't like welders?
You should let youre cat play with youre hand from a young age..and let them now when they hurt you! Then they know. They dont want to hurt you. And its fun
My cat has allergy issues and gets a shot every few months to address it. It's not a set date, more like I notice her symptoms and then make an appointment at vet as soon as possible.
Her symptoms are coughing fits during which I pick her up and rub her back till they pass. Sometimes she sneezes at the end of them. I noticed following the most recent show of symptoms that she would wake crying at night. I asked the vet if cats can have nightmares. He said it was more likely that she would wake up having trouble breathing and that it would upset her.
Her happiness and well being are of the utmost importance to me, so I would have to agree with what you mentioned about making sure first that changes in behavior are not health related before assuming it was some kind of attitude issue.
Have u thought of the possibility that she is having a reaction to the all the crap ingredients in the food. The more processed food the more chance of problems.
@@lillium9562 I appreciate your suggestion, but as with all the other cats I've adopted over the past 2 decades, I discuss all aspects of her care with her vet, her diet among them. The only time I've ever seen her show any sign of distress is when her allegories act up, and we have a firm handle on that. In her vet's own words: "other than her allergies, she's the picture of feline health."
I'm pretty confident that means I'm doing right by her. 😉💖😺
@@VeronikaCatt i dont know whether you have ever tried or heard of this but have you tried colloidal silver. I am at present treating my cat with it, works wonders for so many things. Also, this is just something to think about. Our dog (rescue) has deformed hips (no cartilage), he was always in pain and i followed everything vet said. After reading, i changed his diet to all natural meat and no grains and he needs no pain meds at all. Even our vet was amazed.
@cubomania3 Lucky gets the steroid shot too, and then she's fine for about 2 months give ot take.
No. Collodial silver has no proven scientific studies that it works for humans or pets. If your pet got better, that's great, but it could of been anything from time, to placebo. I would not risk giving a metal that the body doesn't process to any living being. In humans it permanently changes their skin a sickly bluish color and the body doesn't break it down, so the change is permanent. Unless your vet approves, do not use these alternative and homeopathic like treatments.
I find it terrifying that any one can just buy something like that and that it's being marketed as a cure all when there are no studies that show that it even does anything or that the ends justify the means.
I have a little boy kitty for the first time, and we’ve been through some serious traumas together, since day one! I didn’t know at the time I acquired him that he wasn’t being properly cared for or given any attention from ppl, nor that he was absolutely INFESTED with parasites! I worked for days to remove thousands of fleas, and treat his little ears and nose, and although it’s been two months, he still favors his ears some. This entire process was very traumatic for us both, it was very time consuming and he was very afraid of me and upset with me at first, but I think he figured out, eventually, that I was just trying to help him. But he really messed my hands up and didn’t trust me for a while. (Vet tech said his ears are fine, but I still worry sometimes) I am definitely NOT used to the extreme, going out of the way to piss me off, behavior at all! He knows exactly what I do not like him doing, and even when we’re having a super great day together, sometimes he will just decide he wants to focus on and destroy something that I love and work hard to distract him from, with toys, treats, playing, even removing him from the room. He will become vindictive at times and stare me down until he does eventually lunge at me. I do NOT back down, I’ve owned dogs my whole life and I’ll be damned if an animal is going to come into my home and think he is in charge and can disrespect me!!! That’s not me at all. That being said: I adore him, but I’m wondering more and more if owning him is right for me. Every time I think we understand one another and we are in the right track, he returns to a behavior that I believe he’s been broken of, and we have to start all over again, making us both lonely and angry. I’m so beyond frustrated with him right now. I think he may have begun spraying and the lines for neutering appointments are so long in my city right now. I noticed in the video you mention going to the vet about pretty much every little thing. Now, maybe rich folks can afford this, but I simply cannot. And I shouldn’t have to take him to the vet ten thousand times before he has a solid routine and we can understand one another. I’m constantly researching and redirecting him, and playing and snuggling with him. He has a lot of freedom and alone time and toys and personal space, I keep his food and water well stocked, his litter box clean, I spend tons of time with him, I talk to him just like he is one of my kiddos. I’m just kind of at my wits end right now. I can hear him in my living room destroying everything. I’m so upset I’m in my bathroom shaking and crying because I just don’t know how to fix this!! He is my little baby and we both need and love each other, but I am just not sure what is right or fair or healthy for either of us at this time! I’m so sad. I wish I could find a video that would teach me how to teach HIM to respect me as his alpha, but also let him know he is loved and wanted and happy and well cared for and comfortable. I’m sorry, but it’s absurd to just allow an animal to run all over you in your home, as if they are in charge and not you. The way this video illudes to that was very annoying to me. There’s got to be a person with common sense that speaks on these issues somewhere! Any advice helps, thanks
I read that entire rant. Sorry you are going through such a tough time. My 4 month old female kitten is developing behavioral issues as well and it's pretty upsetting.
My cats love me, and I know it. The only time one of my cats ever hisses or growls at me is when I'm holding my other cats kittens, because she's probably afraid of them.
Can you imagine how stressful it must be for these innocent creatures to come to a point that they have to show their aggressions against the owners..! Animals can’t communicate with words but that doesn’t mean that they do not have emotions and feelings like humans.! They are simple and pure in their hearts so if we love them, they will love us back 100 times more.!
We, humans, are just too ignorant and indifferent at times to see and acknowledge what is going on around us..! We are the ones need to be changed.! Poor kitties..!
What a good and wise comment, I totally agree with you 😻❤🐾
I agree except they don't have all the emotions of humans. They really don't understand hate. They have no clue why a human gets mad at them. Their reactions are for survival. You are big and deadly creature to a small animal.
Bryan Hensley I absolutely agree with your point. It is us who teach them those aggressions ..! ㅠ
Christine Maase My family consists of two toy poodles and a mini pig along with a couple of two legged humans..! : )
And the two legged ones’ lives are defined by before “ the three” and after “the three” ..!

Hello Ginger how’s the weather over there
Having a female cat is like having a wife 😂

That's true in my case
Lol facts
Ofc yes
My cat is nice to me and lays with me but never wants to look at me in the eyes. I keep trying to slow blink at him but he doesn't look at me long enough to notice:(
Cats consider staring as a sign of aggression. Some will get over it and treat you like another cat. Some don't want to chance offending you. They think you think like them
A Turtle cats will not look into the eyes of the alpha cat...this cat sees you as an alpha. That’s a big responsibility.
Try avoiding direct eye contact, look at something 90 degrees or so to the side, turn your head to the other side and just give the slow blink in passing without pause. Don't just do this once, do it habitually and give the cat time to see you in a new perspective.
I’m sure my cat hates us. He’s weird he’ll sleep next to us but hates and I mean hates being petted. As soon as you start to touch him his tail starts to angrily twitch and then he’ll bite. And it’s strange we’ve had him since he was a kitten and he wasn’t that mean. He’s just gotten worse.
*i will add that we do our best to leave him be and let him come chill with us when he wants to, and when I see the signs he’s getting annoyed we do leave him alone.
T1017 B if a cats hate being petted doesent mean it hates you. Theres cats that love to be petted but some dont its just the breed, sometimes feral cats hate being petted.
Tosca my white Himalayan was equally strange. I kept hoping tho
Cats never hate you. Humans does. #unconditional love
Ive seen too many owners\ family members treat cats badly. As in teasing and doing things they Know cat Does not like, the more cat dislikes? The More the person does to cat, dog, etc. This was a great vid for those who really do care .
My cat avoids me most of the time. She occasionally shows me love but not often. She always walks away. I think one of our neighbours shouted so much at her that she sees me as a threat. I do my absolute best to show her love and give her plenty of notice I’m near but I cannot change her thinking. 😢
Just cos ya neighbours shouted at ya cat doesn’t mean that.
Thanks for helping!
I thing I find common is that cats stare at me from afar and run away after some time
I'm stunned and confused by my cats behavior change. He had always been Loving, attentive, follow me everywhere, cuddle, all if it. Then he got out one night, headed for the street. He wouldn't come to me when I called for him. He just ignored me. I got scared for him and I started getting pissed (had been looking and chasing him for an hour at 11pm at night). All I did was yell. Telling him to get in the house. I lost my temper. I did not hit him, grab him, or physically hurt him in anyway. Now he's like he's a different cat. He still sleeps next to me, but won't cuddle and if he does it's brief. He either likes me one minute, or Totally ignores me the next. No biting or attacking. What do I do?! I love him so much and this is killing me...
Don't worry. It takes some time to get their trust back. Just be patient.
My cat is a very naughty cat. She would always hiss at me when I come closer. But she likes to sleep in my bed when I'm gone.
I would always come slowly at her and lie next to her being quiet and careful and she'd leave me alone without hissing at me and lying 10 inches away from me. I kept doing this for weeks and I can finally come closer to her without scaring her. I would sometimes pet her for a bit and leave her alone because she's cautious of me. I kept repeating this and voila! She's my best buddy now! She loves me so much!
I also do the same with stray cats that begs me for food. I give them food, come closer to them without invading their personal space which is one meter away at the most. I keep repeating this and feeding them, coming closer to them each day until they finally trust me!
All you need is a little patience. A lot patience actually.
K.D.R. Have you tried a small dish of cream?, I had a cat that did that a couple of times and also shunned me when I returned from an extended trip BUT I put out a little cream and told her how much I love her and would miss her and I got forgiven each time. She lived to be 20 years but I had to have her put down when she got cancer and went down to 6 pounds from 20 pounds and was in great distress. It broke my heart. I had her since she was six weeks.

(Best advice I have ever heard )
He taught me a lot. I no longer resent my cat when he doesn’t want to be petted or pees in the wrong places. I know the reason and to be calm and try to make him feel secure. Jackson is cat god!!
@@feeyetmeyawn8027 Same can be said about the Ceasar Millan (Dog version). He'll go help the family with dog problems, teach them, and the dog gets it. But on some revisits, the dog goes back to it's bad habits because the Humans couldn't change their's. Any type of animal training is in fact Human training.
I’m a dog person that is secretly a cat person, but allergic. I’ve had lots of cats in my life, but it’s no longer worth the discomfort and sickness... my kids have no idea why I like cat videos so much.
biting and scratching doesn't always mean the cat hates you. my cat will attack me sometimes, but it's more of a playful kind of attack, since it doesn't hurt that much and she'll always stop if it hurts me. other times she'll bite me, but very gently.
My cat hisses and growls if I say no or I ignore her request to be patted, to be let out side in the middle of the night or when she wants to eat for the tenth time that day. Spoilt is what the vet called her.
If she hisses and growls because of those reasons again then hit her on the head but not like a actual proper hit really hard do it a bit gentle and shout NO! And scare her a bit so she knows YOU are in control and if you don’t do that then you’re gonna have a spoilt cat for life.
Omg those oven mits!!!😂😂😂
My cat doesn't do any of these things except hide and bite at times. She's a feral kitten who was abandoned by her mother and I went ahead and adopted her. Now she's super affectionate and she lets me pet her at times, but then there will be days where she hides away worryingly and gets scared at the smallest things.
I have something similar. Mine was abandoned as a kitten and became a stray. He will act friendly and rub up against you etc. But will lash out if you stroke him for more than a few seconds and will bite or scratch. Not sure what to do with him tbh, he is too dangerous to let roam the house :/
My kitten loves me alot we sleep in the same bed , we play alot and she's too cute for everything 😍😍 glad to have her
My 5 month old Orange Tabby (Male) likes to Bite, I never heard him Growl, Hiss and rarely puts his ears back. Half the time I think he is playing and is really just nibbling, not biting hard. Other times his bite really hurts but rarely draws blood. I can not go to another room, or level in the house without him following me. He follows me to shower and plays outside while I shower, he jumps into the tub when I’m trying to dry. Sometimes he will even go downstairs to get a toy while I am showering, after I shave and still at the sink he climbs out of the tub and wants to get into the sink. He wakes me up in the morning, sometimes biting me, other times trying to get my hand to scratch behind his ears. It has been decades since I owned a cat or pet of any kind, he is still very young and I think he likes me but at times I do wonder?!?!? I do play with him quite often during the day, I am a disabled vet and adopted him for company. My wife passed away 11 years ago and I live way up in the woods. Quiet, very Quiet! Any suggestions❓❓❓
Maybe he really has a lot of excess energy. There's these huge running wheels for cats. Maybe tiring him out by playing with him in one of those would help?
Well he is very young still getting him neutered should help and get a Lazer pointer those work awesome I have had arthritis for about 33 years and some days to play with a toy on a rope at end of a stick is to hard on my joints and toys that make squeaky noises like mice or whistles like birds they tend to really like but that Lazer pointer they all love it and you can point it back and forth for a long distance poop him right out then feed him a nice size meal like he was hunting caught and ate his prey then he should clean himself and have a nice long nap but I have found that at about 1.5 -2 years old he should start to mellow out by 5 should be fully mature be much calmer also should never teach them that hands and feet are toys I find they tend to be more aggressive for longer hopefully this helps you and your fur baby to form a solid loving bond and if he's smart and you have the patience teach him to play fetch takes time and physically as well as mentally stimulating for him enjoy and good luck
It does not seem to be biting as a method of showing fear but as an ill formed method of getting your attention. Avoid reinforcing that behavior by stopping contact when it happens and reinforcing behavior such as rubbing against you or bunting.
@@julyol119 Thank You, will look into those Gerbil Wheels (for a Cat). He does run alot, I can get him chasing a Laser Light and he will run in circles quite awhile before tirering out, I am willing to try anything to stop him from biting and keep him happy. Thanx Again...
@@miriambucholtz9315 I've started saying "OW" (in a raised voice) to let him know he hurt me and ignore him, or if on the sofa, or bed I put him on the floor. Try to insure he knows he hurt me and not to do that anymore, too soon to say if he understands that. He is not an outdoor cat, I lost one many, many years ago up here and swore I would never get another pet after that. I didn't think I was a cat person but after I lost her I was crushed, here it is more than a decade later and I adopt a kitten. He does see animals outside but I haven't had him in warm weather so the windows have been closed, no scent to effect him. I'm fairly certain just seeing them makes him curius but he really doesn't dwell on seeing wildlife in the yard/woods. Thanx for your suggestions.
If people actually understood animals before getting them it would solve alot of these problems. Humans are stupid, animals aren't
Animals are pretty stupid too tbh:)
Lillium 95 as a human, I agree.
Humans ARE animals.
There was this street cat that I feeded and it looked like it liked me it would get on me and stuff but once I touched him just once he fucking scratches me cats are bitches
Greyson F yeah bruh
I took in an abandoned cat with no front or back claws about 5 years ago. At first i thought she was deaf but learned different. I'm guessing she was dumped and possibly loved her former owner. She's slowly come around.. The first major change came after I gave her a bath, she loved that I cleaned her. Little by little she is changing. She used to bite, but stopped that. I just told her "no". She loves deep tissue massages. She's aloof, which is fine. She's starting to love to play with toys late at night. I think she does this for exercise. For this first 3 years I had her all she'd do is look out the window.
My cat can be so off and on, its like she has mood swings, and she is fixed. So it has nothing to do with that. Some days, she loves the attention of pets and scratches under the chin and behind the ear... then the very next day, she won’t even come near me. Even when she wants food and water. She won’t hide and avoid me entirely, she’ll just keep distance, not sure what brings that on.
My cat does some of these things, and loves to bite the meat of my hand between my thumb and index finger. But this is play for her. Her tail may be whipping back and forth while we do this, but in a second after we stop, she lays on my lap and purrs. I trained her when a kitten to take rough housing because there are small kids in the family. So when they get grabby and rough, she just takes the "whatever, let me know when you're done" bored posture and not the standard, as you mention in the video, aggression and fear.
And I know she's my cat, sleeps on my desk chair next to the bed and reaches out to pat or hold my hand when I sleep. She always jumps on the bed and curls up next to me when I first lay down, giving me a kiss on my nose, maybe a headbutt and some kneading of her feet until I fall asleep with her butt pointed at my face, purring the whole time. During the day, she jumps on my lap, lays on m keyboard, licks my nose, kneads my belly, sleeps at my feet under the desk and climbs in my pants/underwear when I am on the toilet. WHY the last one, I have absolutely no idea, but it is funny as hell. Unless she's in a deep, deep sleep, if I move anywhere in the house, she's at my feet within a few seconds, if she doesn't beat me to where I'm going.
And she's my 3rd cat. My Middy lasted 19 years. Ozzie was only about 3, but we could not keep him in the house for the life of him. He was a rescue and had a drive to be outside at dark and would do everything he could to get out including sneaking in-between both doors and just waiting how ever long was necessary to have that outside door opened and he was gone in a flash waiting on the deck railing by 0500 the next morning wanting in. He got locked into a neighbor's garage when they left for the weekend and got into their rat killer they spread before they left. With nothing to eat for several days, he did the unmentionable and they found him when they got home and brought him to us all apologetic. What a waste, what a loss. And Annie is also a rescue but I got her at age 8-10 weeks and like Middy, has never known the outside.
ALWAYS GO WITH A RESCUE! They are so precious and so deserving of a forever home! Between dogs and cats, we are now up to 4 rescues and there has never been a bad one in the bunch.
So some of the "negative" activity you mention is not always aggression or fear as you mention. You need to look at the entirety of their actions.
How do these folks let their cat nibble or knick their hands n fingers? That crap hurts me. 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏾♀️😂
Ian Mann that’s sweet! Mine cuddles for 2 secs in my arms and then he’s off to the races!
If my cats act like they don’t like me it’s to the streets they go
I have 3 cats and one of them, will not let us touch her. When she feels like it, but is very cautious. She will lay on me to sleep at night. But rarely comes by me for affection. We found her on the streets, she was 6 months old. A neighbor told us, she was abused. She is a lot better since she has came here to live.
Oh shit i though my cat love me but he hates me :')
Cats hate everyone if you want them to love you you need to kick them from your house they not deserve to live with you you are better than a pet
@@notrice1608 nah my cat loves me mans cries when I'm about to leave and when I get home he comes running too me and when I lay down he rubs his head on my face man its a joy having a cat u just gotta know how to treat one
@@Spooky550 cats can be good but 90% are bad cats
@@notrice1608 youre just jealous bc a cat never loved you lol trust me they can be the sweetest animals if you know how to treat them.
@@eleniex yeah cats can be sweet but I think cats are wild animals bc they will do anything to survive
My cat hasnt hissed at me directly i have heard him hiss at my friend and dogs but he never has hissed at me
My cat use to always love sleeping and cuddling with me. But after she had a litter she stopped coming in and I wouldn’t see her at first for days and now it’s weeks. She’s very timid and only allows me to sometimes stroke her back. She also hates being indoors.
I somehow trained our late kitty, Morris, to growl to say "stop that". What's weird is that the training involved plain English. the first time he gave me no warning when he bit me, I scolded him telling him to tell me to stop if he doesn't like it. strange, but it worked. if I did anything he didn't like, he'd growl, and I'd stop. He was a mama's boy, so I knew he didn't hate me- but sometimes I can be annoying, and it's a simple way to let me know to stop.
My youngest kitty, Maxine, somehow adopted this means of communication. she doesn't like her toes tickled, so if you tickle her toes, she goes through a series of warnings- first vocalization, then growling, and if you still haven't stopped, then she'd hit you. I kept ticking her toes and learned the hard way that I was ignoring her warnings and got smacked in the face. My husband went into defensive mode- he only saw that she gave me a good swat and I said "ow" I had to stop him and told him that I deserved it. she told me to stop, and I didn't stop- so I got what was coming to me.
Deja, my eldest, doesn't like to hurt people, and will often just avoid annoying people, or she will vocalize her discontent. she will give me little bites, hard enough to say stop it, but light enough not to draw blood if I annoy her too much (like rubbing her belly) otherwise, her "biting and clawing" behavior is strictly playful, as she enjoys some good rough play every now and then- be it with me, or with Maxine.
My cat only likes me when it's 5:00 up to 6:00 and when she's hungry
