I had a cat who would jump from the floor into my arms when she was a young adult. As the years passed, I'd bend over a little & a little more to reduce the height of her jump. By the time she was 13, she'd lock eyes with me & I'd bend over to pick her up. I will always remember her fondly.
watch that eye contact thing. sometimes it gets on their nerves and they'll jump up and try to hook them out. same with big potentially aggressive cows. They might be safe enough to behave properly, ...until you start staring them in the eye.
I had a cat and she didn’t used to touch too much unless she comes to you on her own for attention. But whenever I was sad she would curl up on me and would just stay there by my side and if I got up she would follow me everywhere. Then when I was feeling better she would go back to doing her own thing and ignores me 😂
When my cat tries to be mean, I remind her who is really in charge between her and a 87-kilogram human male. She now knows better than to annoy her human.😎
My cat was ultra chill so I picked him up and he let me hold him like a Thompson machine gun. I pointed him at people making that sound that those outside lawn water sprinklers make. If he was sitting on the ground I would point my finger at him like a "Hand Gun" and say bang and he would fall over exposing his belly. My cat was my best friend. He acted like a dog and a human at the same time. I miss him.
I miss my cat, Bernie. I wanted a female bc i loved the name "Bernadette." My parents took me to a pet shop, back in the days where you didn't have to show & give your information, minus your DNA, and you went home with a precious creature, that day. I was rescuing them from those small, inane quarters. There were only 6 or 7 males. Damn it! I was going home with a kitten. I picked this mainly white sweetheart, with some orange on his head and sides. He was the love of my life for 13 years. Passed in June of 2004, ironically the best year of my life, at 29. I saved him from further ill health and needless pain. He was suffering from diabetes. My mom overfed him. You only give pets one or two small healthy food portions a day. He was indoor/outdoor, and missed the tires of speeding arseholes a few times. If you have killed a pet on purpose, you are pure scum. That could be a little girl's Bestie! ❤😊
@@kristinesmart3134 I have had a few good cat companions in my time. I once had a cream colored cat I named oatmeal when I was 13. Same as you he was an indoor outdoor cat. He would wait near the mailbox for us to come home. One day as we were coming home the car in front of us purposefully swerved towards our mailbox to hit my cat. I jumped out of the car as we were turning into our yard. My poor little friend was gone :( every time I said I didn't want anymore pets something would happen and a new life entered my world. Now the pain is just too much I can't do it anymore. Now I'm a father with a daughter of my own. I was certain she was going to want a kitten but, it turns out she wants an axolotl of all things lol.
I got a chicken that's the same. People don't seem to know chicken can fly its just not that long, and most farmers clip the part that let's them when they grow in. Well, whenever I pick her up, place her on my shoulder, and I walk around. I plan to dress as a pirate this year for Halloween this year.
My mom's cat has never bitten or scratched anyone. She's so graceful. She even runs up to you and orders you to clean her litterbox everytime she has used it. She then follows you to make sure you're emptying it and lays down super content.
My Cat absolutely adores me. She loves to cuddle with me and she even gave me a dead mouse as a gift one time. Just trotted up and laid it down at my feet as if to say “Look what I did! You can have it.”
my tennager cat bring me a dead lizard kid. he bring into the house. and my mom yelling, she said gross cat habbit. then i explain. but she answer that she need money. not a dead lizard
I'm fortunate to have a kitten who is very well-behaved and relaxed. He doesn't exhibit any signs of aggression, and is always calm and composed, which makes him a joy to be around. ☺️
Yeah when I adopted an adult kitty who had previously lived with a bunch of small kids she hated to be held, and she wouldn’t get on my bed ever until I put her bed on my bed then she finally started sleeping with me. She never got over Whatever trauma she had from being loved too hard by little kids.
Kids can be cruel towards their own pets… run “experiments” on them for the “fun” of it. So maybe it wasn’t real love and your cat has some ptsd. I remember a while back we had our relatives from another stay with us along with their 9-10 year old child. I caught him numerous time acting like an assjole towards my cat. The second time I caught him was when I saw my cat running from the bathroom and the kid came out right after. My ended up in the corner scared and when she let me come close to her she was all wet. We kept trying to ask him if he sprayed water on her or if for forbid used some kind of spray like windex or some other cleaner but he would deny everything and start crying like he’s being victimized.
Yes, dogs have owners, 🐩 cats have servants! 🐈 We play a tiny bit of a different role to cats than to dogs. Just a small difference in the relationship ;-)
She also hops on my shoulder and I carry her around.......she learned to do that when I had 5 big dogs at the same time she was a kitten. The dogs have all unfortunately passed, but the habit remains
My cat sometimes get jealous when I use my phone and be trying to block the screen or bite my phone when I'm using it also uses his paw to try to move my keyboard once in a while when I'm using it 🤣
@@JeffDvrxthey only meant for ppl who affectionate like them but some ppl still have them I have them to they make good pets besides scratching things like our furniture also I'm not much of a affectionate person my cats sometimes over do it to where I move them away or close the door on them when I want space 🤣😂
@@infebrismine Is like the one in the video, he likes attention, but not in a bothering way, im the only one in the family wich he tolerates, if you dont ever bother him, he ends up coming at you on His own. He Is even the same color as the one in the video
@@b4sh936i think thats the right way to deal with most animals. Not just cats...if we let them initiate contact its enjoyable for them instead of stressing pets. ❤
I still have a scar on my hand from the last time I got scratched by a cat. I got bitten by a strange German Shepherd once because I tried to pet his head without asking for consent, and it did not leave a mark. Sure my hand got swollen, but it went back to normal in a couple of days.
Just rescued a Kitten, 1.5 years old, went through abuse physically and emotionally. Took me 3 whole DAYS to get his Trust. All he, Perry, did was hide away. Then the day he got comfortable with me, I spoke softly and calmed my motions around him. Now, I have his full Respect. As he knows I will never harm him, yell at him or anything bad towards him. He sleeps beside me, he eats with me, and we play around as he “attacks” me. He is very healthy and extremely playful. He’s the nicest cat I ever had in my Life. Can’t believe that POS abused him. Don’t worry- I handled that dude real quick :) Edit: ONE AND A HALF YEARS OLD. Got it now u fucks? Jeez! Get off YT and go to school…..
Instuction unclear. I skipped step 1 and now theres a black shadow figure demon haunting me every night and calling my name while mimicking my dead wife noise.
i think to make it stop, you have to tuck it under your bed and sing sweet, soft lullabies to it. not a licensed professional but it has worked for me! good luck
My blanco would always do a little cry or would stand on his hind legs to let me know he wanted to be picked up… if I took to long with a chore, he’d just jump up on my back and climb to my shoulder…. I miss you so much Blanco 😔
My cat doesn't attack me at all he's just a calm gentle kind boy who loves to sleep right next to me all the time when he's tired from going outside and he has good manners because he always meow at the front door to know he wants to be let inside, doesn't knock things down nor bitten me at all 😌
For an older cat, you make sure you support and lift their back legs and front legs at the same time. Always support the cat and lift slowly not fast, treat your cat like a older person that needs help. Kindness and respect goes along way.
@@armaan1560 That's why they're called ragdolls. My odd-eyed white started acting like a ragdoll out of nowhere when he was about ten. All of a sudden he went limp every time I lifted him up and I could tell he loved it.
And when putting them back down on the floor gently make sure all their feet are on the floor. Don’t just lower then to knee level and let them drop like you did when they were 5. My cat is 12.5 now and about a year and a half ago I just lowered her to about knee level and let her drop but this time she landed on the carpet and fell over 🥴. That was one of the first signs of a few signs that she was starting to get arthritis so now she’s on dasaquin doing happy and well. She even caught a mouse last night that somehow managed to get in the house. Good kitty 🐱
@@armaan1560with my ragdoll, I put my arm up under her from rear end to front, she looks like she's suspended from a towel bar but on my arm! She was so comfortable that way. Miss her so much, she died back in March.
When mine were kittens, I would walk around with my kitten and carry them like a baby. Then when they were grown, I could still carry them that way, because they were relaxed.
Same. The early months of training and building trust are important. I’ve had many cats. My current cat is the one I had as an adult. We got her at just having turned 3 months. A lot of early training, repetition and reinforcement. She loves being held, doesn’t want me to put her down, loves us being home, doesn’t destroy my leather furniture, doesn’t climb on beds or dining tables, is not allowed on counters and doesn’t attack us because we never played using hands or feet. She loves hide and seek and we play with her with her toys. Give her ample places to relax with us or on her own. She gets curious, but we always reinforce what we taught her early. I guess I got lucky with this one.
Awwww I love brown tabbies. They are so cute. They say a cats coat color has nothing to do with its personality or traits. I don’t believe that because brown tabbies definitely seem to all have similar personalities. They are funny and playful
So do the orange cats...all have similar personality traits!! I've had black cats. Tabby cats. Siamese-cross cats..calico cats.but it's the orange cats I've had that have been extra special. When I came home from 3 day vacation the 3 orange boys love bombed me! The one put his front legs around n y neck and hugged me for the longest time. I've never had a cat ever do that before. His orange mom is just as soecial.
I fed a cat while the neighbors were on vacation. Day 1-2: no cat, only meows. Day 3: gonna find cat. Track meows under couch. Cat is down there, avoiding me. Spend like 15 minutes letting it sniff/avoid my hand, get a few awkward pets in Day 4-7: I open door, cat is waiting for me
The biggest issue I see when people pick up animals is that they don’t cradle their feet, or give them your arm/hand to stand. This is one of the main reasons they feel uncomfortable, getting picked up and held by your belly or ribs is uncomfortable. If you let them stand on your arm then they feel like they have a better chance to get away if need be and most times are more inclined to stay. My grumpy diva taught me this, even tho she doesn’t like being held to begin with she doesn’t fight me when I want to hold her for a minute. Know when they’ve had enough as well and don’t force them to stay when they want to go. This leads to not ever letting you pick them up.
That's usually an issue with children picking up animals, they often don't have the strength or the proper instruction or discipline and just pick a cat, small dog, or rabbit up like a doll and let it dangle by their shoulders (under where the collar bone would be on a human), which is the equivalent of putting them in a "Full Nelson" or even a "Crucifix" , which can be extremely uncomfortable to even fatal.
That's right, you should use one hand to let your cat stand with its back feet, then the other hand under the belly, let the cat keep most of its weight on its feet, this way your cat will be able to keep balance and feel safe.
A vet-tech friend of mine gave me this advice for picking up a cat. Put 1 hand under the chest & the other forearm between the cats back legs with your hand on their belly. The cat had old healed fractures in her pelvis. The vet-tech thought that my cat might be in physical pain when being picked up. Just presenting an alternative method. The more options you have, the more likely you are to find something that works.
My ABIGALE did that when I was cooking . .especially Chicken . At times she would attach herself to my arm. The chicken taßtef better, when she would help me cook. . i miss her 😢.
Ha. Not quite the same, but anyway= Farley Mowat, a Canadian author, had two owls as a boy. They lived in the house with him and his parents. His mother opined "You've never baked a chocolate cake until you've done it with an owl on each shoulder!"
@@verilyheld My cat told me se same after it had read about us in a human pet magazine. Catsperts say we would be cute for some human owners as we can stand on two feet, are large, but completely clumsy. Yet, there's also a hyped trend having midgets as human pets.
I got a cat almost three months ago. He was a scared fluffy buddy who was unfortunately miscarried by his last family and has a bunch of health issues, like anemia and leukemia. We built his trust over the first weeks and he was giving in so fast. And just a month or so ago he's fully given in and part of the family. He's really strange in the sense that he's really affectionate with us, comes to greet us at the door when we come home, and comes to us when we call his name. We love him so much and for what he does I'm sure he loves us with all his heart.
@@midesti I never had a cat and thought different of this when we got him. But I'm glad I was mistaken. He's very lovely and always greets me when I come near him.
I'm glad you treat your tomcat well enough that he greets you at the door. He is now old enough to be neutered/fixed. This is important to calm him & prevent him from spraying his scent in the house. Also, a sexually active tom could run outside to find females to mate with. I hope you are committed to caring for him for life or getting him to a shelter if your circumstances change. A house cat can live for 20 years.
My cat loved to be picked up and cradled like a baby. I could put my arms out and she would stand up and stretch upwards as if to say, "Pick me up, daddy."
I had a cat who decided that she would make eye contact, scrunch the front of her body down & then jump from the floor into my arms. She always made sure that I was looking at her before jumping. As she grew older, I started bending forward to reduce my height. By the time she was 13, she'd scooch her front down & I'd just pick her up. I miss her. I cherish the memories of all my cats. Each cat is unique.
@@lisag-mh5rc Yeah, mine did that and also would do this thing where she'd get a crazy look in her eyes and start acting like she was going to pounce while concentrating on my shoulder. This meant, "Take me to the window so we can look at birds together." Then I would point at my shoulder and say, "Ok, let's go!” She would then jump and run up my body to sit on my shoulder.
I pick up my cats all the time to give them hugs and kisses, or to move them where it's convenient, or when necessary to give them medical care. After awhile they get used to it and know what to expect, it will only be problematic if you haven't established that understanding and comfort over time.
If I want to do something that my cat enjoys, I will call her. She comes running(& meowing) If I want to do something that she doesn't like. I go get her. She figures that if I pick her up, she's not going to agree with whatever comes next.(meds, nail trims, the vet...)
One of my cats gets fussy if you don't hold him like you would a baby, he's the sweetest thing on earth and always wants to lay on your lap and steal your food ♥️
My newest fur-baby did that to me from behind. She's definitely the most energetic cat that I have and I have 5. I have excited wild kitties but she's on another level. She's going on four now so she's behaving with age. Lol! 😂
He looks just like my cat wolfie I knew him almost my whole life before he died in 2020 He was the nicest cat ever and would do nothing if you picked him up
They approached the cat from the front which is threatening behaviour and even moved their hand towards their neck in a way that was an imitation of a nip. This person was attempting to make their cat "attack" them. But it was clearly play fighting. These videos are dumb but whatever, we're here.
Ever since i started carrying my cat on my shoulder (bc she is big and heavy now) she absolutely adores being picked up and i only need to reach down to her side and she stiffens up enough so that i can even pick her up with one hand if i have to (if she didn't want me to pick her up she would either run away or slip out of my hands when i grab her). She REALLY likes laying on my shoulder and it's very comfy for me too since my arms could never carry her like i used to.

@@j3ssii_xoxo Well,having had cats for most of my life,i can say i have been bitten more than once,and they were only ikkle house cats.A tiger doing the same would bite my arm off..That was it really.Btw in real life any of the big cats,lions,tigers,liger will all go for the neck,if they get the chance.🐅
My cat owned me many years ago, he still owns me even from the cat heaven, I got so many healthy habits from him, very heart-warming memory and incredible experience.
Love an energetic playful cat. Keeps them healthy when they have someone who knows how to do this with them a lot. They deserve every bit of attention and fun they know they want as long as their human knows when it’s fun and when it’s not. Such smart magnificent pets. ❤
be gentle to them from the start and make sure they know you felt hurt when they are too rough. be dramatic about it. only then, they learn how to not hurt you.
That’s actually the complete opposite of what you’re supposed to do you’re supposed to stop playing with them and ignore their behavior immediately when they do that otherwise they still think it’s playing
@@ukkiesc5087 to be fair the commenter is saying to be dramatic about it which people could interpret as the wrong thing to do so I’m giving a specific thing to do clear it up
Lmao. My cat didn't used to like being picked up, but she's really clingly and always wants attention. We started picking her up as a way to tease her for it when she'd be going on and on and on meowing and walking between our legs. Now she just accepts being held as part of the attention.
How to actually (Ik this is a joke but just in case ppl wanna know) pick up a cat IF you already know them. 1. Place one hand on their chest 2. Place the other hand on their lower stomach (not their private area..) 3. Lift carefully You’ve now picked up the cat.
I don't need to pick my cat up. I stand up, make eye contact, put my arms out, and she jumps into my arms. "Nobody puts Kiki in a corner."

My cat sometimes get jealous when I use my phone and be trying to block the screen or bite my phone when I'm using it also uses his paw to try to move my keyboard once in a while when I'm using it 🤣
@@JeffDvrxthey only meant for ppl who affectionate like them but some ppl still have them I have them to they make good pets besides scratching things like our furniture also I'm not much of a affectionate person my cats sometimes over do it to where I move them away or close the door on them when I want space 🤣😂
"You don't own your cat. They own you." FINALLY someone tells the truth.
That’s how you know every cat is different lol
fr mine don’t give a shit if i pick them up, they just like the attention
@@infebrismine Is like the one in the video, he likes attention, but not in a bothering way, im the only one in the family wich he tolerates, if you dont ever bother him, he ends up coming at you on His own. He Is even the same color as the one in the video
@@b4sh936i think thats the right way to deal with most animals. Not just cats...if we let them initiate contact its enjoyable for them instead of stressing pets. ❤
Jumping at you was the cutest thing ever!❤️
It left a few scratch marks 😅🙈
Bro it was literally hanging onto the human by bare flesh 😭😭😭
I still have a scar on my hand from the last time I got scratched by a cat.
I got bitten by a strange German Shepherd once because I tried to pet his head without asking for consent, and it did not leave a mark. Sure my hand got swollen, but it went back to normal in a couple of days.
You cat people are delusional
it doesn't feel cute
Just rescued a Kitten, 1.5 years old, went through abuse physically and emotionally. Took me 3 whole DAYS to get his Trust. All he, Perry, did was hide away. Then the day he got comfortable with me, I spoke softly and calmed my motions around him. Now, I have his full Respect. As he knows I will never harm him, yell at him or anything bad towards him. He sleeps beside me, he eats with me, and we play around as he “attacks” me. He is very healthy and extremely playful. He’s the nicest cat I ever had in my Life. Can’t believe that POS abused him. Don’t worry- I handled that dude real quick :)
Edit: ONE AND A HALF YEARS OLD. Got it now u fucks? Jeez! Get off YT and go to school…..
Best wishes to both of you

That's a ghost cat. It ran out of lives
My blanco would always do a little cry or would stand on his hind legs to let me know he wanted to be picked up… if I took to long with a chore, he’d just jump up on my back and climb to my shoulder…. I miss you so much Blanco 😔
That cap actually looks so happy and smiling
the way he picked up the cat felt like a superpower
My cat doesn't attack me at all he's just a calm gentle kind boy who loves to sleep right next to me all the time when he's tired from going outside and he has good manners because he always meow at the front door to know he wants to be let inside, doesn't knock things down nor bitten me at all 😌
For an older cat, you make sure you support and lift their back legs and front legs at the same time.
Always support the cat and lift slowly not fast, treat your cat like a older person that needs help.
Kindness and respect goes along way.
I have a ragdoll whenever I try to pick her up she goes limp like a slinky ❤😂
@@armaan1560 That's why they're called ragdolls. My odd-eyed white started acting like a ragdoll out of nowhere when he was about ten. All of a sudden he went limp every time I lifted him up and I could tell he loved it.
And when putting them back down on the floor gently make sure all their feet are on the floor. Don’t just lower then to knee level and let them drop like you did when they were 5. My cat is 12.5 now and about a year and a half ago I just lowered her to about knee level and let her drop but this time she landed on the carpet and fell over 🥴. That was one of the first signs of a few signs that she was starting to get arthritis so now she’s on dasaquin doing happy and well. She even caught a mouse last night that somehow managed to get in the house. Good kitty 🐱
@@armaan1560with my ragdoll, I put my arm up under her from rear end to front, she looks like she's suspended from a towel bar but on my arm! She was so comfortable that way. Miss her so much, she died back in March.
When mine were kittens, I would walk around with my kitten and carry them like a baby. Then when they were grown, I could still carry them that way, because they were relaxed.
Same. The early months of training and building trust are important. I’ve had many cats. My current cat is the one I had as an adult. We got her at just having turned 3 months. A lot of early training, repetition and reinforcement. She loves being held, doesn’t want me to put her down, loves us being home, doesn’t destroy my leather furniture, doesn’t climb on beds or dining tables, is not allowed on counters and doesn’t attack us because we never played using hands or feet. She loves hide and seek and we play with her with her toys. Give her ample places to relax with us or on her own. She gets curious, but we always reinforce what we taught her early. I guess I got lucky with this one.
@@eatsipkrave what kind of things did you do to train her?
Step one: Get a cat
*Cries in the corner*
Awwww I love brown tabbies. They are so cute. They say a cats coat color has nothing to do with its personality or traits. I don’t believe that because brown tabbies definitely seem to all have similar personalities. They are funny and playful
...well then, watch out for calicos, 'specially mine!
I have a tortie. The tortitude is real
My brown tabby does exactly this😂
So do the orange cats...all have similar personality traits!! I've had black cats. Tabby cats. Siamese-cross cats..calico cats.but it's the orange cats I've had that have been extra special. When I came home from 3 day vacation the 3 orange boys love bombed me! The one put his front legs around n y neck and hugged me for the longest time. I've never had a cat ever do that before. His orange mom is just as soecial.
Coat color definitely affects cat personality.
Just compare a gentle Black Cat with a Psycho Tortie.
My cats a hello kitty. Every day I get off work and come home, I say “hello kitty”. Her and the dog are waiting at the door for me.
I fed a cat while the neighbors were on vacation. Day 1-2: no cat, only meows. Day 3: gonna find cat. Track meows under couch. Cat is down there, avoiding me. Spend like 15 minutes letting it sniff/avoid my hand, get a few awkward pets in
Day 4-7: I open door, cat is waiting for me
"you dont own your cat, they own you"
THATS THE MOST RELIABLE WORD IVE EVER HEARD SINCE 2019
My cat Jerry is a tabby cat and is 7years old now, he don't like to be picked up or held,but he'll get on my lap and I'll pet him 😁🐈⬛❤️💙
This is Smokey... he does allow me to pick him up now without squirming but he still prefers to come when he wants to.
Cats climbing their human tree are cute. 😂
My 2 cats loves ppl, I've never been attacked by mine. They follow me around every where, beg to be picked up. Strangers, visitors can pick them up.
Awwww ❤❤❤ they must take after your energy
The beauty about cats is their differences in personality. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't :)
But even if you are unlucky Cats are so interesting and have some sweet moments.
@@theresavancamp7575exactly! You can't go wrong with cats.
The biggest issue I see when people pick up animals is that they don’t cradle their feet, or give them your arm/hand to stand. This is one of the main reasons they feel uncomfortable, getting picked up and held by your belly or ribs is uncomfortable. If you let them stand on your arm then they feel like they have a better chance to get away if need be and most times are more inclined to stay. My grumpy diva taught me this, even tho she doesn’t like being held to begin with she doesn’t fight me when I want to hold her for a minute. Know when they’ve had enough as well and don’t force them to stay when they want to go. This leads to not ever letting you pick them up.
That's usually an issue with children picking up animals, they often don't have the strength or the proper instruction or discipline and just pick a cat, small dog, or rabbit up like a doll and let it dangle by their shoulders (under where the collar bone would be on a human), which is the equivalent of putting them in a "Full Nelson" or even a "Crucifix" , which can be extremely uncomfortable to even fatal.
That's right, you should use one hand to let your cat stand with its back feet, then the other hand under the belly, let the cat keep most of its weight on its feet, this way your cat will be able to keep balance and feel safe.
A vet-tech friend of mine gave me this advice for picking up a cat. Put 1 hand under the chest & the other forearm between the cats back legs with your hand on their belly. The cat had old healed fractures in her pelvis. The vet-tech thought that my cat might be in physical pain when being picked up. Just presenting an alternative method. The more options you have, the more likely you are to find something that works.
@@lisag-mh5rc I generally pick up cats and put them over my shoulder with one of my arms under their rear feet. It usually works out quite well.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade Every cat is different. It's good to know several ways to pick them up. 😸
Cat was getting ready to climb up you either way. Lol
That is true. My family was owned by Siamese cats for decades. Mom couldn't sit down without one attaching itself to her.
Consent isn't only a human thing. Animals have boundaries as well.
How to pick up your cat : Like a baby, because they are a baby

No
Having a cat is like having Homelander as a rommate.
You don't own your cat. Your cat owns you. Those words have never been more true
Cat definitely loves him
My cat jumps onto my back and sits on my shoulder like a parrot while I cook and clean. I love it.
My ABIGALE did that when I was cooking . .especially Chicken . At times she would attach herself to my arm.
The chicken taßtef better, when she would help me cook. . i miss her 😢.
Ha. Not quite the same, but anyway= Farley Mowat, a Canadian author, had two owls as a boy. They lived in the house with him and his parents. His mother opined "You've never baked a chocolate cake until you've done it with an owl on each shoulder!"
We're only allowed to live in their homes because we have opposable thumbs and can open cans...lol❤
Aye, and once they learn to open cans . . . they'll keep us around anyway, because we're so helpless at everything it's cute! : )
@@verilyheld My cat told me se same after it had read about us in a human pet magazine. Catsperts say we would be cute for some human owners as we can stand on two feet, are large, but completely clumsy. Yet, there's also a hyped trend having midgets as human pets.
My Jasmine will coax me into leaning over and then jump on my back and ride around. 😅 Her brother never has tried that move, he just watches.
🤣🤣😅🎉i haven't laughed out loud so hard today and I am so grateful for you sharing this 🎶
I got a cat almost three months ago. He was a scared fluffy buddy who was unfortunately miscarried by his last family and has a bunch of health issues, like anemia and leukemia. We built his trust over the first weeks and he was giving in so fast. And just a month or so ago he's fully given in and part of the family. He's really strange in the sense that he's really affectionate with us, comes to greet us at the door when we come home, and comes to us when we call his name.
We love him so much and for what he does I'm sure he loves us with all his heart.
That isn't strange at all. Cats are a lot more loyal and affectionate that people give them credit for. Sounds like you will give him a good life.
@@midesti I never had a cat and thought different of this when we got him. But I'm glad I was mistaken. He's very lovely and always greets me when I come near him.
People think cats are aloof, but will forgo food to be with their people.
@@Vaz44-4This is a very special relationship 💗 that you should cherish every day!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm glad you treat your tomcat well enough that he greets you at the door. He is now old enough to be neutered/fixed. This is important to calm him & prevent him from spraying his scent in the house. Also, a sexually active tom could run outside to find females to mate with.
I hope you are committed to caring for him for life or getting him to a shelter if your circumstances change. A house cat can live for 20 years.
These two have been doing this since the cat was a kitten. They are so comfortable with each other, and this is their special play. I love it!
My cat loved to be picked up and cradled like a baby. I could put my arms out and she would stand up and stretch upwards as if to say, "Pick me up, daddy."
I had a cat who decided that she would make eye contact, scrunch the front of her body down & then jump from the floor into my arms. She always made sure that I was looking at her before jumping. As she grew older, I started bending forward to reduce my height. By the time she was 13, she'd scooch her front down & I'd just pick her up. I miss her. I cherish the memories of all my cats. Each cat is unique.
@@lisag-mh5rc Yeah, mine did that and also would do this thing where she'd get a crazy look in her eyes and start acting like she was going to pounce while concentrating on my shoulder. This meant, "Take me to the window so we can look at birds together." Then I would point at my shoulder and say, "Ok, let's go!” She would then jump and run up my body to sit on my shoulder.

I pick up my cats all the time to give them hugs and kisses, or to move them where it's convenient, or when necessary to give them medical care. After awhile they get used to it and know what to expect, it will only be problematic if you haven't established that understanding and comfort over time.
Absolutely there has to be rules....
If I want to do something that my cat enjoys, I will call her. She comes running(& meowing) If I want to do something that she doesn't like. I go get her. She figures that if I pick her up, she's not going to agree with whatever comes next.(meds, nail trims, the vet...)
One of my cats gets fussy if you don't hold him like you would a baby, he's the sweetest thing on earth and always wants to lay on your lap and steal your food ♥️
Imagine adopting a human child and she or he bosses you around
My newest fur-baby did that to me from behind. She's definitely the most energetic cat that I have and I have 5. I have excited wild kitties but she's on another level. She's going on four now so she's behaving with age. Lol! 😂
Exactly.😍😻😻😻
Cat says. Human obeys. This is the correct order of things.😻😻😻😻

Most cats don't like being picked up, but this cat looked like ir wasn't tolerating the invasion of space.
They approached the cat from the front which is threatening behaviour and even moved their hand towards their neck in a way that was an imitation of a nip.
This person was attempting to make their cat "attack" them. But it was clearly play fighting.
These videos are dumb but whatever, we're here.
Cats play fight if they like u... stop it
Cat nip you like that when they love you. They're just playing
Absolutely no hostile body language. Harmless play bites. Not using claws. Ears up. This cat is in play mode.
if the cat was actually scratching him, it would've latched onto his forearm.
Ever since i started carrying my cat on my shoulder (bc she is big and heavy now) she absolutely adores being picked up and i only need to reach down to her side and she stiffens up enough so that i can even pick her up with one hand if i have to (if she didn't want me to pick her up she would either run away or slip out of my hands when i grab her). She REALLY likes laying on my shoulder and it's very comfy for me too since my arms could never carry her like i used to.

be gentle to them from the start and make sure they know you felt hurt when they are too rough. be dramatic about it. only then, they learn how to not hurt you.
