@jesscaticles Thank you so much for this video! Super helpful as a first-time single cat parent😂
Could you please let me know which bed you have in this video for Jericho? It's really cool as it serves more than 1 purpose and cave too.
It's been out of stock for a long time unfortunately so I stopped linking to it.
@jesscaticles Ugh, that's a real bummer 😕
Thank you for the informative video again and for responding to my question. Jericho is really gorgeous 😍
he is beautiful
A reason you don't get a companion cat? I have a single cat but she spends half her time outside
Jericho is a very big boy! One of the best things for my cat is that I'm retired, and we spend most of the day together!
Same. And my cat looks at me like, “I know that’s not a mouse”. Not impressed. Lol. She is completely tired of me after a long winter waiting to get outside.
Big muscular & good looker poring in the eavenings. ....
My cat who lived to be 20, and I got at age 4, and became an indoor cat absolutely loved her stroller. She would jump into it when she wanted to go for a stroll but never went to the door to go outside. She also never asked to go for a stroll in the winter where it is cold here.
love that youtube recommended this to me right after bringing my kitten home yesterday haha!! glad to see I already knew the basics! I want my lil man to be as happy as he can be 🥰
Awww ❤
Great video, I also think that an indoor Cat needs to be able to see the outside world either from a window ledge or a Cat tree My indoor Cat is a senior now but I still pop him up onto the window ledge so he can see the birds, squirrels, foxes and the weather conditions outside such as the rain, trees moving in the wind, sunshine or snow.
This is the first time I've seen your channel, and it's terrific. Thank you, algorithm! Jericho is gorgeous -- and looks very big!😊
I'm new to cat parenthood, grew up allergic and afraid of them, but now I am not allergic anymore and I adopted the sweetest little baby. She's almost 2 years old, and she's SO SMART. I know everyone thinks their cat is smart but my housemates in the unit upstairs (duplex) have a kitty and he's dumb as rocks by comparison. The problem with my little one being so smart is that she is bored easily. Thankful for this video showing up in my suggested, happy to see I'm already doing a lot of these things. I'm going to definitely track down a ripple rug because my little one is already past advanced puzzle toys 😂😂😂 Thank you for this video!
Wow, you are an amazing cat mom!!
Happy Sardine Sunday to The Voice! Colbie, Panda and their sister Ebony are two years old today, born 3-3-22. Most people I know have at least two cats. One friend, who fosters, now has 10 cats. If they don't get adopted, she keeps them. One hack I use: I have several old carpeted car floor mats around the house. The cats use them for scratching. I also have a cat tower and a mat that someone gave me. There is a perch by every window in my house, so they can watch CAT-TV anywhere! LOL
Yes!!! Cat TV is amazing! Thank you for sharing some hacks (:
i love your voice for some reason
Great tips! Our situation is similar. We rescued Mylo from the bush across the street, and he's a single cat. Our apt is small also.
I learned a lot, and I need help because Mylo was super active when he was outside but lays around a lot now.
I blamed myself bc I am still learning due to tjis being our first cat, I had a dog, turtles, and a bird previously.
Im disabled and physically can't be super active at times, but my daughter and I are learning from TH-camrs like Jackson Galaxy and you etc.
Thank you!
My adopted 16 pound tuxedo female was 5-6 yrs old when she found me. Her disposition & behavior was similar to a canine. I interact with her constantly. She enjoys playing and going for walks outside at night. No leash. Indoors, we play with toys and she really enjoys praise for her effort. She's over 12 years old today. Mutually we are happy and content. I make different toys up so she isnt bored. She loves them all. You get back what you put into your efforts. Jerricho is a handsome, fortunate cat!
My cat looks just like Jericho. He is purrfect!
Have you ever tried training Jericho to walk on a leash for enrichment? Or put him in a cat backpack and go for a walk? My cat jumps in her backpack to let me know it’s time!
I have in the past but it's very loud and noisy where I live. I'm in a city with lots of cars, sirens, electric scooters/bikes, etc. Jericho is fine with the noise in his territory but not so much when we go outside.
But once I have the money I will move closer to nature!
I had a cat that was so jealous of the other cats. I believe he would have been happier being an only cat. Always sitting in the middle of a gathering of my friends as though he was a part of the conversation. Maybe he identified with people more than cats!😹😻. RIP Odie sweet boy❤️🐾
Sounds adorable 😍 awwww
My cat has issues and was left alone for the first five years of her life… it took over a year to teach her how to play and get her interested, she doesn’t care about looking out the window, she looks at me like “come on, I know that mouse isn’t real….”, I’ve tried hiding it under a blanket and paper, and I’ve set up a toy on a fishing line that she will go for for two minutes, but other than that, she’s just completely bored all of the time waiting for winter to be over to go outside… I work from home so I’ve spent lots of time trying to engage her in multiple ways. Her only love language after three years is brushing her for five minutes several times a day, but other than that she seems to be grumpy and unhappy lol. I’m at a loss! I wonder if a kitten would help her since she was basically left alone to have several litters and now we ARE bonded, She allows affection has a great quality diet, but when she’s not outdoors, seems to not know how to entertain herself or be curious.? Never had a cat like her and I love her personality otherwise and just want to help her! I think I’ve now watched hundreds of cat videos ….showed her stuff on TV, iPad tried to come up with solutions for stimulation… maybe this is just HER? I dunno, she seems depressed. Not sure anymore how to help her-she just walks away to sleep. Counting the days til spring. Lol
Another cat might be great mental stimulation for her, but until you try, you don't know if she would accept one. If you try it, I'd recommend reading up on how to introduce two cats, and get one that can be returned if it doesn't work out! I know that sounds mean, but two cats that don't like each other isn't a good situation either.
Is it possible for you to foster other cats? That way you can see how your cat responds to having another one around. If your cat doesn't respond well, you can stop fostering. If she does, then you can continue and if you find one that seems an especially good match for you and your cat, you could adopt.
Thanks for the effort and great information.
Great video! A lot of useful information
Well done!
Wow, thank you you’re awesome!
Great video Jess, thank you ❤
You're so welcome!
Hi Jess, I have been a subscriber to your account for years and you're the reason my cats eat completely raw and freeze-dried as treats! I was just wondering where can I find the treats you feed Jericho, I saw your list on Amazon, but I could've sworn there's a treat not on there you've mentioned and I cannot remember the name.
You are terrific. I never knew the reason they do the butt wiggle but it’s adorable.
Good kitty
thanks for the info on cat butt wiggles didnt know that!
I've always had 3 cats at time now only one and i can tell you your cat doesn't need another cat
His smell everywhere and no surprise attacks ❤
Yes! And he gets plenty of smells from me walking around making friends with outdoor cats lol ♥️
Love your videos..
Thank you!
Hi Jess👋 super helpful video new subs here 😊
Where do i buy that leaning cat latter 🤔 love your video
He looks just like my cat Bob Marley!! Also a single cat, coming from the street, now living in an apartment!
Can you list or have an Amazon storefront or affiliate links to purchase things you have for your cat?
He’s gorgeous❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Jess, been watching your videos and had a two questions. I want to transition my kittens 10 and 9mo old to raw. They are on wet canned food by Feline Naturals twice a day (morning & night) and Kiwi freeze dried in the middle of day. I was told kittens are fed 3-4 times a day till they are 1yr old. I will take out the dry food 2 mo's. As far as going Raw, do you recommend to start off with Steve's Quest Freeze dried (add the moisture) morning and night or just start transition with the frozen raw? I wanted to eventually be on Viva Raw since they now have for all stages.
I wasn't sure if it would be too much to start with Raw, in small percentages mixed in their wet food. Your advice would be really appreciated before I went in ordered my supplies. Thanks for all you videos and guidance!!
Amen...
I am struggling to get my cat to eat homemade cooked ,and raw food. So she wouldn’t even dream of eating a chicken wing. She is a overweight sterile 11 year old indoor stubborn cat. I’m not giving up yet she isn’t giving up. Hopefully we have her 4 + years.
Can u do a ripple rug and how to clean and use it? I was discouraged to buy it after reviews but if it’s actually good I want to know! My cats are so bored when I’m gone
Good idea (: I do still have it and use it but have some comments on it and have changed how I use it since I bought it.
I just got one kitten and people keep messing me that I should get another cat and it’s kinda annoying tbh. Makes me feel a bit guilty but I can’t have two cats. So thank you for this video!
The two cat people are very vocal but sometimes it just can’t happen. Just research and show your cat all the love you can. How’s the kitty doing.
Thank you! She’s 4.5 months now and she’s very happy and friendly! My family loves her! She’s very affectionate too! I still feel a little guilty but my mom says “look at her, she is happy” ❤ And she sleeps when I’m at work. Thank you for asking!
I have been searching for months for a cat food recipe that doesn't require me to purchase products from manufacturers or exotic vet clinics/vets. I just want the basic raw ingredients. Is there a recipt out there that provides the absolute basics?
which raw meaty bones do we give?
Jericho can watch beauty contest typo program, if anything fancy…? 😼
I don't know what that is lol
All the boxes ticked except the raw meat bones, I’ll have to look into that but all other hacks.. ✅ yay we already do & my kitty also has daily routines from eating schedule to playing to litter box to leaving her daytime window perch & joining me every night in her space in my bed. We are so bonded, she speaks to me often, definitely around mealtime when I ask if she’s hungry or if I pull back the curtain to get a peak at her when she’s napping in the window, she makes that trilling closed mouth inflection sound almost as if to say “helloooo mom, yes”. She does it every time I pet her when she’s napping if I walk by. I work from home so we spend a lot of time together. So cute. 😻
Awwww I love that trill!! Jericho doesn't do it. But many cats I worked with as a cat sitter did. It's so cute!
I heard it’s a female cat thing! BTW, Pewter LOVES her clicker training!
every cat ever. "If I had opposable thumbs and could run a can opener you'd be gone human"......
Is he big as serval cat?
I adopted a pair that is much better😁

Why have I always been told not to feed chicken bones?
Cooked chicken bones can splinter and hurt your cat/dog
One dog is too many dogs.
I mean the only thing you learn about Christianity from this is that some Christians have cats. I see nothing objectionable about that
I'd love to hear the information without the faith stuff mixed in, apologies for not being a Christian.
No need to apologize about not being a Christian but instead of trying to censor this individual’s right to express herself anyway she chooses, especially when said expression is based on positivity and love, why don’t you just find another TH-cam channel to watch instead of being such a Debbie Downer.
@@tacomaamocat4309 wow, really? I'm not censoring, or trying to censor anything, I just expressed my displeasure over the presentation of the content.
Just ignore it. People saying distasteful things doesn’t mean you have to believe them or even have an opinion on it at all. Tbh the ratio of Christian crap to relevant info is pretty low
@@TomDavidMcCauley agreed, thanks for the reminder.
Today is the day of salvation, Jesus gave up his life out of love
where do you get such bones? are there unsafe options to avoid?
