I don't understand when people say they don't feel love from cats. You just have to know what to look for. It's when they rub against you, blink their eyes slowly at you, and purr when you pet them. But when cats show extra love (like when they follow you around, meow when they see you or hear your voice, lay on top of your chest, bring you a dead rat) that's when it's so precious and special.
Jes I made my slave boi work for my attention... purrrfect
I have an intact tom cat who literally throws himself to the floor, on his back at my feet, when I walk in after being away for awhile. Then he will "dog" me from room to room, tail held high and purring loudly, as if to make sure that I don't leave him again. This cat also pulls my worn clothes out of the laundry basket and makes "nests" for himself to sleep on while I'm out. Not clean clothes, only those I've worn that still bear my unique human scent. One time I found him sleeping soundly with a pair of my panties on his head. Must have been one hell of a cat party.
yeah cats are adorable and respect personal space more than dogs. Dogs like to lick and jump on everyone even the friends of the owners who dont particularly like that
When they meow to ask where you are, when they reach for you when you walk away, when they "bunt" their head against you.
i have very different distinct calls for my slave:
mmeoooww - when i want to eat
mewrrrrrrr- when we play
MEOW - when im trying to find him
mmeeewww-------grrrrrrrr- when im tired and get irritated by constant hugs and bunting...
I think part of the reason some people don't like cats as much as dogs is...ironically, cats are a bit more like people than dogs are. What I mean is, you have to earn respect, trust, and affection from another person; people rarely give those things blindly. Cats are similar; once they feel they can trust you, respect and affection quickly follow. Some people are just lazy and don't want to earn that, they just want something to love and obey them blindly without any question. Personally, I feel that love from a cat is more genuine because it has been earned and given when they were ready.
They welcome you into their "pride" or "clan" so to speak.
You said it very well. Although I don't blame people for wanting a payoff - after all, you finance their whole lives which will equal thousands - I agree completely what you said.
That really is a perfect way to explain cats, gotta remember to use that argument the next time someone goes off on how dogs are better than cats. (That happens a weird number of times in my area. Maybe it's because I'm out in the country but just yesterday I was in the grocery grabbing some cat food and a stranger felt the need to stop and lecture on how I should get a dog instead because they are better. Just... a weird Sunday all 'round.) I love both, have had both, will likely get another dog when I can bring myself to do it again (lost my last 2 dogs 10 days apart, so... it's a tough thing to get back into) but there really is something great with cats. Dogs, if well treated can be happy with most people (obviously, they have a bigger tie to 'their' people). Cats... mostly... you gotta work for it at the start. And once you are 'their' person, will go to the wall for their 'property'. It's been 11 years, but my husband is still viewed with a tiny bit of annoyance by my oldest cat. She deals and can even be cuddly at times with him - but she is mine without question. (Added spiff? If my husband and I have a fight, I don't ~have~ to win. If I go to bed still a bit upset or frustrated - she pees on something of his. lol) He usually just laughs and tells me he is resigned to always being her step father. And then goes and cuddled his cat Venture, to whom I am merely She Who Delivers Food On Time while he is "DADDY!"
I'm like a cat then 😁
awww. i just resently adopted one. he was thrown or abandoned. doctor had to reconstruct his mouth and several stitches on tummy. he was only ten weeks. ive had cats my whole life and he is the most loving intellectual sweet cat I have ever seen
My cat waits for me to wake up outside my bedroom door every morning. When I open the door, he meows like crazy and follows me around until I climb back in bed and let him lay with me for 20 minutes or so. He'll climb right on top of me and just turn into a puddle of purring. That's love if I've ever seen it.
why aren't you sleeping with your cat
Thats called being a warm thing after a cold night.
Agree with MsSpider26, why is your cat locked out of your room at night? Ours are in bed with us every night, we find their presence calming. We actually would miss them if they were not with us.
My 2 cats can go in/out of the bedroom at night. My last cat I had to lock out on work nights. The meowing and pawing kept me up all night.
Why don't you let your poor kitty sleep with you all night?? It sounds like that's what he wants.
I think a common mistake people make is that.... cats aren't dogs. And some people seem to hold that against them. I explained the differences in what cats are into and how they show emotion and that they aren't better or worse than dogs, but just different, and when I finished, his immediate reply was, "I just don't understand why they can't just be more like dogs!" And showed examples of how dogs are great animals. I agree that dogs are great too but I couldn't help but facepalm and want to reply, "You didn't really listen to a thing I said, did you?" Sigh. Some people just don't get it. And that's fine. Because there are a lot of dogs that need good homes too. Sadly, there's more than enough to go around.
So true.
Cat and dog affection is actually very similar. They can be very social and want to "own" everyone by rubbing and snuggling or you get the ones that are considered "shy" that have their one or two people they like and they're good. It's just the case with both species if you match energies/personalities. When I went to the shelter to pick out a new cat a couple years ago, I had gone looking at a little black kitten. I came home with a grey tuxedo kitten instead because my energy didn't match the little black kitten but did with the tuxedo. I found out after from the shelter people that the little black kitten connected with someone else. In short, it's a very primal thing that most humans have forgotten.
AmaraJordan I always say, of course they're not like dogs, they're millions of years apart and their wild ancestors weren't social animals. Humans and dogs evolved together, so of course we understand them better!
Also, dogs have noticeable eyebrows. If you're not used to "reading" cat expressions, it's usually easier to relate to dogs because they are perceived as more emotive, as they emote in a way more similar to our own.
Also also, dogs are bred specifically to be forever behave at least a little bit like puppies, compared to their wolfy ancestors. Cats (usually) doesn't have as much of that toddler mentality when they're adults.
+Helena You have never met an Ocicat or an Abyssinian, which tend to be very playful into adulthood. Our two Oci girls are eight and almost seven, and one still plays fetch, the other plays catch. Of course both follow us around the house, come when called, and always sleep in bed with us. Just absolute joys, we are so thankful to have them in our lives.
When my cat jumps into my lap while I'm studying and purrs away, that feels a lot like love to me
Oh but it IS love, awesome purrfect cat love!
They are just making sure world domination is going as planned.
carpanthers4ever I made my slave boi work for my attention... purrrfect
It all depends on how you bring up your cats. All our cats that we have ever owned have been like dogs. They come to you when you are with them or if they are outside they come straight over if they see you. We train them to come when a special noise it made for their food. Cats are awesome :P
carpanthers4ever Seriously! I was gonna say that too. Most of the (many, many) cats I've shared my life with have been affectionate beyond reason... Even skittish ones are affectionate in their own way. I love my dog more than life itself, but cats are incredibly loving, and I feel like people who think otherwise just haven't met the right cat!
cats are the most misunderstood domestic animals in the world. They actually are really loving, they just dont suffer fools gladly like dogs do (who are also awesome animals).
I completely agree. You described it perfectly: "they don't suffer fools gladly." This is why I've always gotten along with cats. We have similar temperaments.
praise be
Meow!
Yeah shout it out to the world. Besides no offence but cats are more loners and also have a more developed brain than dogs so their is that as well
If you accidentally step on your dog, they apologizes. If you accidentally step on your cat, they retaliate. lol.
If cats had thumbs and disposable incomes, Jacksons show would be called; "My Human from Hell" "Dear Jackson, You gotta help me out. This stupid human I adopted thinks I'm a dog. He keeps thumping his paws against my head and ribs or he plays way to rough. Hurts like hell. I tried gentle corrections but that was ineffectual. I increased the correction but, now he get upset and yells and kinda freaks out. Another issue is he fills the place with only with his stuff and get upset if I play with anything. Please Jackson. I'm desperate to make this work but if you can't help me retrain him, I'm going to have to rehome him. Your mojo bro, Prince Fuzzy Butt"
Ha, ha! Very clever, and very true.
Prince fuzzy butt😂😂
Well, now I want Jackson to help poor Fuzzy Butt
Absolutely nails the problem and yet is so cute and funny 😂❤
They literally did a study where they had cats isolated from food, humans, and toys/entertainment for long enough that they'd miss it.
Then they gave the cats all three at once to see which one they would go for. The food was even their favourite treat, the toy/entertainment was their favourite one.
The cats pretty much always chose their owner.
Cats love their humans, they really do just show it in a different way. Dogs'll be all over you, you can't get a moment of peace. Cats just are almost always in the same room as you. And if you've really gotten a good bond with them? They comfort you when you're upset. They often sleep up against you. They are excited to see you when you wake up or get home. But they also go for snuggles and loving!
Dogs are extroverts and cats are introverts, that's all!
I love cats. I like dogs plenty, but I prefer cats because they're better on my autistic sensory sensitivities lol
(Plus cats provide free pest control so hey! Bonus!)
When I was ill my cat always lying next or on top of me, purring, cuddling, only leaving for food or litter. Fun fact: Luckily never had one, but the small vibration of a cat purring helps healing broken bones.
My cats show me a huge amount of affection and I know they are psychic.
Kye Talks my cats are too dumb for that
The other day I had to close the bedroom door while I was doing a homework assignment because my cat kept jumping on my desk that's already too small. He eventually started meowing outside of the door and pawing at it a little bit. Now, he's overweight and loves food so much, and since it was feeding time I thought he was just hungry. So I went out there and fed him. He didn't even touch the food. He just wanted to hang out with me. He's so sweet.
Cats are amazing animals, and undoubtedly loving if they are understood by their owners. You have to earn their love and build a relationship, and it's so incredibly rewarding.
My little cat loves me, he gets excited every morning when he sees me. He wakes up, jumps up and does a cute meow that sounds like a chimpanzee. And then he comes to me for a cuddle, all well before he even gets hungry (I feed him at 9 so he doesn't wake me up on weekends)
Just because cats don't leap all over you with neverending neediness doesn't mean they don't love you.
Keep telling yourself that Vicki
Sarah no need to tell yourself anything when it's just a fact
Vicki Bee, Exactly :)
Which is a great thing about cats. The exclusiveness.
Sarah, cats don't just love you because you want them to love you. Cats love you because you deserve it. And you just cant tell your cat to love your friends. If your friend is not worthy in your cat's eyes, then, he/she is not worthy. Period. Based on my experience with my cat.
Vicki Bee true
This guy is the fucking cat whisperer! We have cats and watch his show all the time, and he does magic, folks.
Jeff Howell you never put a cat in its place. you always get in line.
It's still a pretty odd career choice. With a name like Jackson Galaxy, you're supposed to choose between rock musician or blaxploitation film character.
funnily enough he is also a musician
CAPSLOCKPUNDIT it really just sounds like he let a 5 year old name him or he was like "I'm gonna pick my first name and let a 5 year old pick my last name" love his show tho haha
Wade Wilson
He must have some really cool parents !
Jackson is also really good with people. He goes into situations where it is obvious that the person is causing the problem. For example, I recall a couple had their cat living in a closet, then wondered why it was aggressive. Jackson quietly and politely gets people to see things as the cat would. He's the man.
I feel bad for people that don't like cats because they are missing out on so much
Agreed!!
This annoyed me as a cat owner. Stephen doesn't know how to hold kittens properly.
I know, right! I was just like, "Dude, close to your chest, loosely, and support the butt!" It drove me crazy watching him lose the cat so many times. I think he's just too used to dogs.
I mean, even when you hold them right some of them like to climb all over you lol. I used to work at a shelter and there was this one kitten who, whenever I took him out of his cage, would try to climb up to my shoulder and lick my neck. Cats kind of do their own thing lol.
I usually let them go wild and when I need to hold them I either do it by supporting the back or holding them from their skin above the spine like their mothers hold them in their mouths
Kate Ozawa this Jackson behaviorist guy annoyed me as a former cat owner
man I'm a cat owner and there is no way to properly hold a cat [except don't hold it by its neck or legs or tail or whatever], they're like slinkies
My mom's cat is definitely attached to her. He is visibly upset when she goes out and chooses to cuddle with her overnight. Don't talk to me about cats not being attached to people.
Definitely!
My cat tends to look around house when someone has left the house, like if my oldest son goes interstate to stay at my parents house for a week, our cat definitely knows he is missing and looks for us. Sometimes he will wander around meowing for us.
Or when we get in the shower he cries for us like he is really concerned for our safety like "omg what are you doing to yourself ! You're choosing to get wet like that? Are you OK"
Mostly we laugh but it says to me he really does love us and is worried about us.
Or those moments when you call out to them and they make the cute little PRRP sound and trot over to you eagerly.
Cats do love us. They just show it differently to dogs and I am glad.
There isn't this clingy need to be in your backpocket, slobbering all over you.
@@callmewaves1160 my eyes are watery, i don't know why
@@uyagraph awww 🧡
Mine too ☺️
Jackson is such a rare gem. A man who truly loves cats and advocates for them! So inspirational and I loved his comment about how spiritual cats are!
Well he should advocate for them since he worked at a kill shelter 🤨
Jackson Galaxy is such a pure, amazing human.
He used to work at a kill shelter flipping the switch 🤨
@@Xane_Dragoni tried looking it up i can’t find any info. where did you see this?
Cats are wonderful animals. Dogs are wonderful animals. It's all in how you raise them.
o0Avalon0o Exactly!
o0Avalon0o
So are humans.
I never did understand those people who keeps wanting to insist one is better than the other. Better at what, exactly?
The problem with being around cats all the time: Every now and then I tend to instinctively do the slow blink at dogs and sometimes humans too, and then I feel really stupid.
Tapio Peltonen I KNOW RIGHT? It's gotten to the point where if I watch a video of a cat, when it looks into the camera I just do the slow blink. I've done that every time my cat has looked at me for around 8 years now, so I can't not do it when cat eyes are looking at me.
The right person will take it for the compliment it is
The dog is probably not judging you and just tell the person it's a thing to show cats you love them and you instinctively do it when you love something now. It's a compliment.
Hussy! 😊 😊 😊 😊
you are simply expressing a superior form of communication for superior creatures in all form. Cats RULE!
I’ve had hundreds of cats but my most recent love bug (who passed away in December :(. ) was adopted and he didn’t trust anyone. He had three legs bc of human animal abuse and had been giving back to the shelter many times. I went to go see him and immediately he waddled up to me and meowed and rubbed on my legs. I had him for 5 years and although he had an attitude problem in the beginning, I just showed him that I loved him and that I would always be there for him no matter what and that I wasn’t going to just dump him like so many people had done to him. He adjusted within the first year I had him and I think he realized I was going to be his final home. He’d follow me around everywhere; would lay as close as possible to me (even on my head or face haha) and he trusted me even when I had to take him to the vet all the time (he had many health issues when I adopted him) but he always knew I’d stick around. It bugs me when people say cats aren’t loving or don’t show it. Yes they do. You get what you give. He did a total 180 and I’m so thankful that he came into my life. I really needed him as much as he needed me, I learned. I will miss his sweet little demanding meows. He really was like a person. Everyone who met him said he acted just like a human in a cats body haha miss you my sweet Lyga. cats rule ❤️❤️❤️
Samantha Petersen Wow. Thank you for that. I had a very similar story. It was rough the first 2yrs, she was semi feral. Long story, probably dont want to hear lol. 12yrs later, she is still with me. Loyal, and one would never guess she was once feral. Thanks for doing what you did. Take care
What a lovely story, it is true when cats find that stability they will open up. I am glad that the kitty could live its last years in such a loving home.
Im so sorry for ur loss of your companion ❤️
Jackson is just so kind and cool, he was probably cat king in his past life and decided to take human form to teach stupid hoomans to treat his children right. 😂😻
The slow blink thing is true. If you do that to cats, or most animals, once they understand what you're doing, they'll calm down, and start blinking back to you. I've seen it happen with all my cats, the cats at the shelter where I worked, my birds, ... It's a calm and trusting gesture: "I'm relaxed and I trust you enough to close my eyes around you".
Yup. There's an outdoor feral kitty I feed, and he sleeps in a little plant pot I have lined with some old tshirts on my porch. In the morning before he gets his breakfast, I'll peek at him through the window and we slow blink at each other. I think he might be starting to trust me after a cpl months. He won't come up to me for pets, but he does roll around in front of me and show me his belly. And he's gotten closer to me now. Just still scared. I think he will warm up.
Works with rabbits as well
For cats it is an evolutionary thing I think, a cat would do that slow blink/squinted eye to another to let them know they are safe to go to sleep without fear of attack, a trust gesture indeed that has transferred over into cat/human also. I think for most other animals though it's just a mimic thing like i wink at animals just out of habit(luckily I don't have that habit towards people I hate winkers haha) and most will start winking back, me and my sisters dog always greet each other with a wink now hah took her a while to practice it too she would try to but the other eye would follow just like when a kid tries to learn it was cute. Bet if you wink or do some other gesture your birds can do, they will start to mimic that also as they are quite the intelligent.^^
Showing their belly to you is another sign of trust. They're displaying a vulnerable area (stomach, internal organs) that's not protected by their spine or ribcage. They're saying "I trust you not to hurt me".
Luna and this stephen idiot laughed about it in the show the slow blink
I don't know about everyone else's cat, but mine has no trouble expressing her love. I can barely walk in my home without tripping over her, and the moment I sit down she's in my lap purring and rubbing her face on my hands. Maybe it's because I follow the recommendations Jackson makes on My Cat From Hell :D
samurai squash Yea, my cats aren't around me all the time, but when they are, they are sweet, come on their own will, groom me and sleep at my side. If that's not mutual love and respect I don't know what is.
samurai squash I have one cat that's basically a dog and goes from person to person demanding their love, and another cat that is lovely but very selective with showing affection. But I also had a small dog that hated strangers! All animals are different.
samurai squash, my girl cat isn't much of a snuggler, but she HAS to be in the same room as me.
My 1st interaction with cats was living with an ex who had 3 of them. I hardly ever got any work done! 2 of them were always on my lap! lol And yes, everything I know about cats, I learned from Jackson. Now I live on my own. I have my own rescue cat, and I do TnR and have rescued almost 10 kitties and either adopted them out, or they got adopted out at rescues and the SPCA. :)
She sounds lovely.
She loves you, no doubt about it. 😻
okay. I like Stephen. But.... really? that was hard to watch. it's a kitten. not a snake. grow a pair man.
If that was painful then don't watch Impractical Jokers. Sal is terrified of cats.
I like Stephen less and less as time goes on...
Do ya really have to be such a dick to a kitten???
Plus that segment was so short. He hardly talked to Jackson at all.
@@SandraWade666 was basically just a segment to demonstrate how much of an asshole Colbert has become... even his "The Colbert Show" fictionalized character version of himself didn't act like this much of a douchebag.
Unfortunately, he just likes attention. It can be annoying sometimes, like in this segment. Very disrespectful.
Every cat shows love in a different way. My family has 5 right now and each is completely unique. My oldest will literally sit on anyone's lap and purr and rub his face and get petted for literally hours. He would all day if you let him. Another one shows love by "catching" dirty clothes that are in the basement to be washed and bringing them upstairs and then meowing and purring. Another one meows every time he sees someone and flops upside down for belly rubs and is a massive teddy bear. Humans have multiple love languages, so do cats.
Stephen was disappointing to watch in this. He wasn't interested at all, and made it awkward for everyone.
That's because he's a douche.
yeah, he seemed uncomfortable and didn't get into it. It would have been cuter if he wasn't so self-conscious during this. He is normally fantastic, great show.
he was too worries about the suit
gosh y'all want perfection for every interview? he nearly does that already. can't be personally interested in everything not a cat person. At least he asked a lot of questions.
@Angie B he was even willing to try holding the cat again backstage where they may be less terrified. he's a real sport.
The "mirror neuron theory" is applicable with some people and their cats. When my beloved Mac was dying, after a few years of suffering from diabetes and taking insulin shots without complaint, I was terribly upset. Close to the end he reached out with his paw and gently placed it in my hand. He literally held my hand as he died, knowing how inconsolable I was at losing him. All my cats have reciprocated the love I give to them. They also enjoy playing "fetch" like dogs. Some people have this neurological bond with felines but most do not. Lucky to be one who does.
Oh you make me cry. Very beautiful story, thank you.
Ps. I read and watched a lot of true experiences about cats' death and they reached out to their guardians' hands as if holding the hands when they died. And the guardians described the experiences to be like "their cats trying to console them before they said goodbye".
I don't know if it's all imagination or subjective interpretation but cats reaching out their paws to touch guardians' hands that's enough for me to prove LOVE EXISTS.
Jo Montanee You made me cry. Beautiful story.
jabbermocky Such a beautiful story and it also made me cry.
I had a similar experience with my beloved childhood cat, Fluffy.
She also suffered with diabetes for years and we then found out she had FIV.
Must have been born with it, as she was an indoor only cat.
I'll never forget the day she passed away. She died in my arms and, just before she left this world, she lifted her paw up to pat my cheek and just intently stared into my eyes.
Her eyes exuded pure, unequivocal love.
In that moment she was thanking me, telling me how much she loved me, and that she would never forget me. It was clear that she wanted my face to be the last thing she saw.
She held my gaze intently until the light left her eyes.
I will never forget her and I still miss her all these years later.
I had never heard of this theory before, but it makes complete and utter sense to me now.
Thank goodness I am also one of those lucky ones.😻🐈💖
jabbermocky It's incredibile, because my 20 years old cat did exactly the same thing, while he was dying... He putted his paw on my hand, like he was saying: "Thank you for all these 20 years together.". I loved him so much. And I miss him. 😭 Even though I have two other cats right now, he will always be my special Jinks that I grew up with.😢
I literally cried at this comment.
My cat laid on my stomach while I started having contractions before my miscarriage. The purring actually was like a natural pain reliever on my abdomen. My cat hadn’t laid on my stomach since then! They definitely have an energy field they’re tapped into
I hate it when talk show hosts use an animal as a prop for laughs, dropping them, complaining the animal intentionally hurt them, damaged their suit (like the millions they are paid a year doesn’t cover the cost), etc. It’s just a major pain, don’t book this type of segment if you’re in need of laughs. I stopped watching Conan because there were too many of these segments. Under educated people need to see animals as something more than toys for laughs. Just stop 🛑
I agree! He would never shut up and never paid attention to the kitties or what he was doing with them. I hated that.
Not to mention the fact that they title the video “Jackson Galaxy CONVERTS Stephen into a cat person” when the only thing Stephen did was complain about the cats the entire time: their nails are too sharp, they’re ruining my expensive suit, they’re climbing all over me...gmafb and do your effing job.
I understood that Jackson was trying to promote whatever adoption agency he was pushing, but it was a really ineffective way to do it, the cats were distracting and Stephen wasn’t even funny interacting with them because all he did was complain the whole time (or maybe that was him trying to be funny and I missed it because I was waiting for his “conversion”???)
This!!!! I agree with you, 100%, Patti!
Idc if I make millions a year tf watch it.
I agree. He didn't even properly allow for the plug of the cat shelter, he just cut him off.
Cats show a lot of affection, what are you talking about Stephen? How does it feel when they rub themselves against your legs or purr at your touch? The overenthusiastic, jumping, tail-wagging affection from dogs tires me out very fast. I prefer the relatively calm and subtle affection of cats.
I agree, dogs are sweet but cat’s affection sometimes feels a little more special. 😸
Although I think my legs could go without some of the affectionate kneading...
Jackson Galaxy: The Original Cat Daddy
I love Jackson! I cry often when I see how he helps all these cats. It’s amazing! He saves so many cats.
That's the problem actually...they sell cats too young. The should leave kittens with their mother until they are three months old. They will be more well adjusted and happy.
Tia Moore The kittens were nervous from travel, lights, strange people... I'm surprised they were that calm. So young.
Tia Moore they were most likely rescues
Stephen = definitely still not a cat person haha
too much of a pussy hhuhuhuuh
Selvin Cunningham There's lots of pics on Google of him holding cats - I think he likes them, he's just more of a dog person.
I am right there with Stephen...some people just don't care for cats and that's fine.
Lol he's stiff as a board holding that kitten, I can just feel the awkwardness. If he's like this with his own cats no wonder they don't seem to like him much, they probably think he's a nervous, needy weirdo lol.
godofdun
They are probably observing him from a safe space. They sense his aura of territory and respect it.
Cats do have a lot respect for personal space. I know when I need my space, my cat doesn't come to me. When I need affection or I'm worried or upset, he's right there by my side ready to curl up in my lap and purr. Because, he expects the same treatment in return.
I've become addicted to watching my cat from hell /heaven . What I find most amazing is how much Jackson galaxy has transformed in only a few years . He looks slimmer,his eyes are clear and bright,his whole appearance has completely changed. Thankyou for such an important series on human cat relationships and the importance of spending time playing and interacting with each other 👣🐾😸👩
Dogs love a very human way. like touch and jump and lick they are very animated (i've had cats like this) but cats are so different and I'd recommend anyone to get one because they show such love, but it's suttle and gentle. and to show a cat love you have to listen to that individual cat on HOW they want to be loved. it's a patient thing but it teaches respect for distance and how to appreciate the moments where you are their whole world.
For some reason his facial hair just screams "cat behaviorist"
He Grooms himself with a razor and spray paint.
I thought the thumbnail pic looked like David Cross. LOL
Yep crazy cat person, exactly my thoughts
castile1996 i thought so too xD
You guys are so prejudice and cat lover shaming. Look at Norman Reedus, Ian Sommerholder, Taylor Swift etc. They are all cat lovers and see how they look. And Jackson he's the guitarist playing in the ROCK band before he became cat behaviorist. Enough for being superficial, guys.
Cats get a bad rap. They're sometimes overly lovey! You get out of them what energy you put into them.
THANK YOU!!! I love my cat, and she loves me! She greets me at the door, follows me and wants to be in the same room. Dog-like characteristics? It would seem.
But, would she do these things if I didn't dote on her all the time? Maybe not. The thing is, she picks up on my energy, my joy when I look forward to holding her, feeling and hearing her purr. I pick up on her energy, and it feeds off one another.
She does this thing (took me a while to figure out what she was trying to communicate), where she reaches out at me so I can lean close so she can head bunt me while purring and rubbing her head against me. (Aka, scent-marking me as hers). She snuggles with me and stays all day with me on a migraine day.
I pick her up, hold her close, while telling her how wonderful she is, and rub my head against hers as she purrs.
People just need to realize cats make us require more from ourselves. They're up-front and ask for what they want.
They're not needy. They're not pack animals that need constant approval. They know what they want, and take initiative. It's not that they need to hang out with us, but they (want) to...when they want to, and when they don't want to, that does not mean they stopped loving us; they're just tired, or saw a bird outside the window, or want purrsonal space. They're really more complex than many speices;. it's quite brilliant, actually.
The slow blink thing Jackson mentions is true, and it really helps to calm down a stressed or frightened cat. Learning to read cat communication is key to bonding with your feline friend.
Don't get me wrong. I love dogs too! I just feel extra special being loved by a creature that chooses to love me back...and sometimes is too busy licking her bum, or hunting a housefly to think about love.
When people go into that, "cats don't love unconditionally"...I call B.S.!
For me, I feel more special, when a cat decides it wants to hang out with me. They have a very high E.Q.
Oops! I got carried away, but I completely agree with your comment!
I'll get off my 'soap box' now...so my cat can hide inside it. 😸
Cat love is earned, dog love is available to everyone.
Why the need to earn a pathetic animal love. Don't you have any other work to do in life. Get a Dog live life easily. No time for tantrum. Have a Dog, Be happy.
Or let’s just not pit animals against each other so we can avoid comments like these

That moment when the 🐈 LOOKS at him and bows.... Amazing 😍!!
a cat's love is more "I respect you and let you have your space, so I hope you do the same," and not the direct happiness of a dog.
Normally it's like you say,but my cat doesn't respect my space!She sleep in my bed,wake me up if I let her out of the bedroom,follow me around the house and is always begging for attention. It depends of the cat.
Which is something I wish more humans understood. Not everyone wants to be smothered in affection allllll the time... cat love is my kind of love.
Not my cat, he's more the lap cat sort of little guy.
depends on the cat
I'd freak out if way those kittens too, the noise of the studio and the audience would be enough to send my 3 guys under the bed.
You are just too blind to see cats' emotions. Actually, they express their emotions all the time. They are just not as loud as dogs!
I adore Jackson Galaxy!🥰 FINALLY an ambassador for cats ❤️ They're just misunderstood, cats are very affectionate
I remember a research paper finding something like cats don't love their humans or something, but my cat would follow me into every room and insisted on being with me whenever I was home. He would always seek me out to nuzzle and sleep near or on top of me at night. I wasn't even the one responsible for feeding or cleaning after him. It felt like love to me.
I remember that study. It was very flawed, they basically just put cats and their owners in an unfamiliar room and saw that cats were more interested in exploring the room than dogs were. Well duh. They are both prey and predator animals and they like to scope out their environment. That doesn't mean they love their owners any less, especially at home!
Not really a cat person, but I feel like I know everything about cat behavior after watching seasons of My Cat From Hell.
We learned a lot from his show as well. Lots of good tips on there.
al gore I made my slave boi work for my attention... purrrfect
I only got my first cat after a mouse problem some time back and the show really educated us about his behaviour. So we could make our home better for him and understand why he behaved in certain ways.
Also cats do just stare at you (or past you) sometimes which makes you wonder what they see/sense. Not sure I buy the whole spirit plane thing though.
i AM a cat person - I still love his show - though can't believe how ignorant many people are regarding really basic simple cat knowledge
I get frustrated when I watch people who have cats, act so stupid. I love cat shows and Jackson, but ignorance is not an excuse when you get a cat.
Jackson has a double millennium amount of love in his soul. Kudos❣️
I have had two cats for several years, and adopted a puppy last year. It's been a really interesting experience, living with both at the same time and experiencing their different kinds of love simultaneously. I say that my dog owns me during the day, but the cats own me at night. Puppy needs to be with me ALL THE TIME, anywhere I go during the daylight hours. Of course, he'll come flop down beside me or ask for belly rubs sometimes, but I also see how much of his affection and excitement directed toward me is actually motivated by food/anticipation of rewards. As soon as he's in his crate at bedtime and I'm in my bedroom, the cats are there with me, ready to settle in. My boy headbutts me and kneads, purrs so loud, and gets in such a trancelike state that he sometimes start drooling. None of that is motivated by food or reward. I'm just there with him. My presence is all he wants. Anyone who says cats, as a whole, aren't affectionate, just hasn't met the right cat, or hasn't taken the time to get to know/understand cats.
I foster kittens and all were once feral. I've had no problems. They are all exceedingly affectionate. They love to be held, lie on their backs for belly rubs, purr and cuddle constantly. I don't know if it's because I bottle fed them but so far I've had many happy adoptions.
Anyone who has a pet cat knows the blink and, if they're empathetic, returns the long blink to the cat. Those cute critters are all about body language.
I'm not totally sold on the spirit realm aspect, but I appreciate that this guy understands we need to communicate with cats differently than we do dogs.
So unfair to bring pets out onto a noisy stage full of people.
That was my thoughts exactly. I thought, "Jackson, you should know better than this"!!! Poor Kittens.
@@mimipavlovsky honestly I could tell if this was even his idea. He seemed uncomfortable with it, but like he was going with it.
There's much truth to what Galaxy is trying to convey about how animals, and perhaps especially cats, are more naturally in touch with "what lies beyond the tangible". We humans are more superficial... which is why many of us prefer the more boisterous dog love, not being able to completely trust that cats can, indeed, love. But they do! They feel love, and will love you in return, they are more subtle and refined about it, that's all. Also, having had experience with both cats and dogs I will even go so far as to say, that a cat's love can feel more profound. Might be something to do with the purring . .
camelshit I made my slave boi work for my attention... purrrfect
copy paste much?
Inner Machinations Yes, I see you even got him to dress you. You don't need that you know; you are more beautiful in you natural splendor ;)
(unless you were cold, in that case I beg you pardon)
And how do you know that their quirky behavior means that they're more in tune with "what lies beyond the tangible", rather than so more mundane explanation?
Absolutely! Cats are totally in touch with energy. I'm so glad people are talking about this, and that Jackson is explaining it to the world. :)
When Stephen said 'bring out the cats' I was expecting adult ones but then those little tinies appeared and oh my word.
I had a cat that followed me from room to room. Always looked at me and responded to his name. All my cats have been very affectionate.
Love Jackson. I’ve had cats all my life & thought I knew about them. I’ve learned a lot from him.
SO not true!!
Cats are SOOOO loving! it just requires understanding their language.
I love this guy. I wish he would post more on his TH-cam channel. I've learned so much from him!
DCARA06
cats reacted based on how you treat/raise them, when people say they don't like or aren't good with cats and prefer dogs, I worry about their dogs ha. It's how you train them, each cat is different some hate attention and some crave it. I've had cats who owners say don't touch them, they're evil or bad, come up to me, rub against me and sit on my lap. So it's not the cat, it's you that's the problem.
Just because people prefer dogs,that doesn't mean the person is a bad owner,it's just opinions and preferences.I was raised with dogs and now I have 3 cats,love then,but I still have my soft spot for dogs,that's why I also have 2 dogs.It's a diferent experience,you need to have more energy for dogs,they give you a lot of stuff to do,like walking with them(I do it 2 times a day,1 hour each),brushing and cutting the hair,bathing,feeding,discipline,playing and more attention,many of these you have to do everyday. Dogs give you a lot of work to do,cats don't,you just have to be patience with them,give them some space,food in a plate and clean the litter box ,that's it. No big secret.I'm not trying to be an ass,but you have some attitude there that it's not very nice. Be humble!
San R bro, do you even play with your poor cats???? Damn lol
Yup
For a while I was the only one who could hold my cat because every time he tensed his muscles I would put him down because I knew he was about to jump. So then he trusted that if I picked him up he could get back down whenever he wanted to. Plus, he liked for me to hold him upright with support under his feet.
That's why I keep a Dog who love to hunt cats. Count crossed 3 so far.
Difference between cats and dogs: You have to earn a cat’s respect to receive love, dogs give it whether you respect them or not. Cats are more like people. And they don’t take any bs. That’s why I like them.
I have worked in the entertainment field all my life. Interviewing and interacting with a lot of stars : rockers, movie actors, motivational speakers etc. such as Bon Jovi, Pierce Brosnan, and Jackson Galaxy is the one that, among them, has the most powerful impact on me. I attended Jackson Galaxy's press con once in Bangkok. I stood far faraway from the stage but the aura and positive energy of his came across the room. Wow I was amazed.
Jackson Galaxy is a beautiful soul. Love him!
When my cat and I were living back with my parents for a time, and I left for 3 weeks to check out the city I was hoping to move to, and I came home... I came through the front door, and my cat was in the living room where she could see me. Her eyes suddenly went wide, as if in disbelief, and then she promptly ran to the bedroom, where I followed her. She proceeded to flop down on the bed for belly rubs and then to sniff all of the new smells on me.
She's a former feral (first 15 months, and one litter of kittens, in an urban colony... before rescue. She had been hit by a car and her pelvis was completely fractured and had to be wired together). I socialized her, myself. She likes to stay close to me, and in the winter she curls up on the blankets right up against my stomach (I'm a side sleeper). Yep, pretty sure she loves me. I love her right back.
BCPR A cat I loved, he loved me so much he would hear me approaching the home way before my boyfriend and run happily to the door to greet me... Always...
Jackson is a gift to humanity
I love Jackson Galaxy! He's an awesome man that shows that cats are as amazing as dogs!
I love Jackson Galaxy so much! My Cat From Hell is the best show. hahah
I love Jackson Galaxy. I've learned so much from him.Bless him !
I love Jackson Galaxy - he’s a wealth of cat information!
Is it just me or this the first time Stephen is awkward AF?
go and watch his interviews when he first starting hosting this show....they were all awkward af
watch the one with TJ Miller
those cats got claws. i think he was worried about the suit.
Watch the TJ Miller one. He looked like he was going to strangle the guy on air.
Stop using af. It's as FUCK. Don't abbreviate, go for the gold.
Jackson is an Amazing person, and I've learned so much from watching his show. My cats are my babies!
The only two cats I had in my life were like dogs! Came when I called, Loved me all the time. Greeted me after school and would walk with me to the corner store and wait outside for me, and walk home with me! My 2nd cat played fetch with her toy mouse!
The slow "I love you" blink Jackson gave Steven, proves that Steven is part cat.. he looooved that
Jackson is so intuitive towards cat behavior, its incredible
When my cat bites my toe at 2am, that feels like love to me.
Cats are awesome
Just how fucking cool was that clip that they showed. You can literally see the cats expression go from intense anger to curious and sad sweetness. Just amazing
My cats are actually very loving, one of them even hugs me. The other one would have been a "normal" cat who isn't that attached if it wasn't for the hugging one, she always imitates her and now they both follow me everywhere I go and want to always be with me or be ruffled and stroked.
When I saw the title I screamed.. IM SO HAPPY OMG.
We did too!! :D
I just turned on my TV yesterday and saw it on the best of Stephen Colbert. Normally I didn't watch his talk show very often but I watched this cause I'm no.1 fan of Cat Daddy.
Well you would need to, have to understand cats to love them and love them to understand them. I get them. Meow! !!
Also, dogs are great, too. They need so much more attention. You get what you give. If you are willing and able to give. I love cats.
Love Jackson, such a good hearted man.Have to say the blinking thing works..it is so weird
Cats lick the person they acknowledge as friends. They have done that to me. Cats take a lot of work to befriend and its really a long and hard time. Like months and years sometimes. But they also sit on your lap bump their heads against your leg and they even follow you when you gain their trust. Sometimes they even walk right ahead of you or beside you like a friend. They even look at you right in the eye and it's like you are having a conversation with them.
I adopted a rescue that was a tuxedo just like those. awwww.
Animated Tigress Me too! We named the youngest Jackson, partly after Mr. Galaxy and partly after Jax Teller. 😼
Love Jackson ! He’s a great cat educator
I love your comments about cats being zen and observing things we can’t see. I bet that’s why they gravitated to you in the shelter; they sensed you being a calm and caring person.
I’m not bad mouthing people animals dislike - at points in my life that was me! They could tell how anxious I was, and it made them similarly agitated. Since I’ve become more comfortable in my skin, animals have liked me much better. And part of how I’ve grown more comfortable in myself (in addition to medication and therapy) is by spending time observing and loving animals.
I have connection to numerous felines. One, Mr. Layla, is a shaman. I swear he is a therapy cat. Whoever comes to his home, whether it's the people who share his home or visitors, he can tell if they are carrying a weight that is drawing on them. He will go to them and sit on their lap till they let it go.
My Milo was the neighborhood party animal. He loved attention. Once my neighbours were having a birthday party in the garden. Eight chairs, seven people and Milo. When he died in May, so many people said how much they would miss him. But..you know, cats aren’t affectionate or friendly...snort!
Yes cats are from the spiritual world. My grandma passed away and I know she is in my cat's body watching over me and that comforts me.
This is hilarious & Jackson is incredibly #sincere in creating awareness of cat-to-human affection :D
Love it! Please bring him back Stephen, we want more.♡♡♡♡
I enjoy watching Jackson Galaxy's videos and My Cat From Hell episodes. To see a scared or angry cat living with owners at their wits end become a loving cat who the owners love and truly understand is amazing. Jackson really works some amazing magic with cats. My own cats are definitely not from Hell.
Amos, my russian-blue tabby mix, is the sweetest cat I ever owned, and he certainly chose me. I lost my solid orange male tabby Oliver; he ran out the door and never came back. I was devastated. Eventually, after a year of waiting for him to come back but he never did, my boyfriend at the time took me to the shelter and let me pick out a cat to adopt. There were several that looked almost exactly like Oliver, but I decided to go with a grey tabby because I knew it wouldn't be fair to the orange tabby if I expected him or her to be exactly like Oliver; each cat have their very own personalities and traits, so much like humans. So, I decided to go with a grey tabby.
I remember Amos kept reaching out to me but I was concerned; one of his eyes had this circular film over it and I feared he was either partially blind or entirely blind in that one eye. I wanted him then and there, but I hadn't looked at the other cats so I passed him and continued on; what if there was another cat just as loving as him that wanted a forever home just as badly? I wanted to adopt all of them, to be honest. I went back to Amos and he really put on the love. I asked the caretaker of the cats if she would let him out so I could interact with him a bit better. She did and even seemed happy I asked. He walked around and explored a bit, but he always came back to my crossed legs and curled up in my lap and purred. I scratched his chin, scratched behind his ears, around his neck, even petted down his back and sides. His fur was a solid blue, hardly any tabby markings at all except on his face. His ears and skin were a solid dark blue, almost purple color. I thought it was so awesome! With his green eyes, one slightly off color due to the strange film over it that didn't seem to bother him, I had thought he was such a beautiful cat.
The woman came back and said that his name's Amos and they nicknamed him Famous Amos because he's so loving and sweet. She said they got him when was about a year old after animal control picked him up from the ally as an older kitten. Everyone that came in to adopt a cat didn't want him because of his eye! Of all the reasons not to adopt a cat. I shook my head and asked if he was blind or partially blind. She assured me that their vet checked him out and said he wasn't bind at all and it didn't bother him. I discovered he had one quirk, however, and that is he refuses to let anyone, even me, scratch his belly. He will latch on, not super hard or for long, but as a warning to stop touching his belly. That's another spot where his tabby markings show. I respected that, having been a cat owner for a long time, and petted every where else but his belly. He started playing with me and he stuck all twenty of his claws in my arm. I froze. I knew if I pulled away I would have my entire arm scratched, so I relaxed and even pushed my arm further against him. He eventually let go; the attendant was terrified when she saw him latch on because she was afraid I wouldn't adopt him after that. When she saw I didn't freak out, she knew I was a cat person with a lot of respect and love for cats.
He loved me, accepted me off the bat, and once I got him home, he was the best lap kitty/companion I could ever ask for. He healed my heart after Oliver ran away and he was there for me with his unconditional love and affection when my boyfriend and I broke up. He's been my companion ever since and I'm able to hold him for however long I wish--something he won't allow my mom, dad, or sister to accomplish. He'll snuggle up to them while I'm away at work, but when it's time for to come, he will wait for me. And when I do come home, he greets me at the door and demands my immediate attention to which, I cave in every time.
So yes, cats are more than capable of love, you just have to respect them as their own person and treat them as roommates. Their affection, once won, is truly unconditional and exceptional. Dogs will love you instantly, but cats select their person and choose who they want to love. That's why they're so special. However, the instant and unwavering love of dogs is just as precious.
One time I was alone at home and I was petting my cat on the couch. He was an awesome cat that I got since he was a kitten. Anyway, cat on the couch and me in front of it petting him. Out of nowhere, he looks over my shoulder and his eyes get so wide, his mouth opens a bit and he has this *TERRIFIED* look that really shocked me. I shook him a bit, but he had no reaction. He just stared at *something.* I looked over my shoulder and nothing was there, but he still stared. Only a few seconds later he returned to normal. Damn.
Eiko Pumpkin happened with my cat a couple of times too. We had gone to the terrace and he was staring at something with such concentration for a long time. I tried to distract him but he didn't budge. I freaked out and went back down.
When their mouth opens just a bit they are tasting a smell. They have olfactory glands just behind their upper lip. It's akin to a snake's tongue. With a cat, a dog, and a baby I see this behavior a lot.
+Asfia Tahseen
For my cat, it was like he was looking at something standing behind me. I moved him around, even his head a bit, but he still looked at the same spot in the air. It was almost like someone tall was standing behind me and my cat was looking at a face or something, not something he was staring in the distance. His eyes got almost completely black from him being so scared. My house is almost 300 years old, so I wouldn't be surprised. loool.
Yeah exactly. My cat too was staring at a specific point and my trying to distract him would just make him look at it from a different angle.
Eiko Pumpkin he probably thought he saw a fly or something
I love Jackson and have learned a lot about cat behavior. One of my cats and I headbutt Good morning and both cats slow blink love and appreciation. Christmas morning they both snuggled on the couch with me...it was a X-mass miracle (first time ever). I felt at the time that they could sense my sadness of not being with Family and put aside being jerks to each other. I love all animals...Cats and I have the same vibration....chill.
More with Jackson, please!!! He is a great guest!!!!! :-)
My dear childhood cat passed a few days ago, and was as sweet and loving as any dog if not moreso at times once you gained her trust. She came over for snuggles when I called her, purring on my lap. She was deeply attached to my dad and literally slept curled against him every night. She was such a calm, gentle presence and the house is so empty without her, even with our dog still around.
Jackson! **meow, meow, moew** Shoulda taken your cool guitar case! Fun interview.
I'm not crazy about the woo nonsense that he's into, but fortunately it doesn't really factor into the lessons that Jackson can teach us about cats. We have to understand that they don't think like us, so treating a misbehaving cat (or dog!) like a child is absolutely counterproductive. Neither is it useful to assume a "bad" cat is somehow like a defective machine. They have feelings and experiences of their own; understanding their world is the first step to helping them.
People also think cats should be like dogs. So they treat them like dogs and expect the same response.
My cats are generally good cats but even I have learned a few things from his show.
ha....you just have not had your own inexplicable woo experience yet..but..you will..oh yes..you will.
Jackson Galaxy is amazing man that do big work our family and our dear companions
thank you so much Jackson. i love you & god bless you
Cats can't express love? Whenever my cat is in my room and I'm lying in my bed she comes over, starts purring, gives me a bunch of gentle and loving headbutts against my face and proceeds to take a nap on my chest. If that's not expressing love, then I don't know what is.
didn't look like Stephen was converted *at all*
I'm pretty sure Colbert is still Catholic. His sudden conversion was just for show.
i think it is possible to be Catholic and a cat person....
worshiping the divine cat as our rightful god and obeying their every whim might be a step too far, but I've gone far too down this path to ever return....
Julia Connell you mean CATohlick right?
LOL purrrfect Sleepy Lion
Of course the cat whisperer has a giant tiger's eye ring. :)
Ohhhh...we rescued kitties like those and just lost the last black one to cancer. They were so playful, so loving. I miss them so much.
I love the Cat Daddy!
