I can't help but wonder if Sourdough had been looking out for his siblings while they were still feral and felt that he had to keep defending everybody.
that may be the case because my cat (also a rescue - found in a box with her siblings) is very protective and dominant and I figured that she was the one who took up that role, as well
@@conquistadorrocket We once rescued a pair of kittens we had found on a rainy evening, and the female was protecting her male sibling. When we went to pick them up, she let out with a hiss that I swear must have come clear from her hind claws.
Sourdough is just the cutest name and now I’m wondering if he kept it….😂. He was definitely spicy and those little paws were lighting fast…😮. I’m so happy he came around and he’s in a loving home, with friends to play with!!!
Sourdough was just playing hard to get. It cracks me up, toward the end of the video, you see him surprise attack (in play) the other cat. He's just a rebellious child at heart (lol). Also, big shout out to the lady who eventually broke Sourdough's tough guy persona. Some ladies have this ability to turn the toughest guy into a guy who can let his guard down and relax a little.
I know, that little cutie was playing hard to get! People like this woman who persist and love animals with behaviour issues even more, are just the best of the best.
@MIND Where do you think tough guy personas come from? In my experience, people who feel the need to act tough are very scared. (That said, I'd rather live with a kitty who feels the need to act tough than an adult human who does. 😆)
This is by far the funniest dodo video I've seen so far lmaaaoo poor baby absolutely LOATHED her 🤣🤣 the tiny punches and the tiny evil stares are taking tf me out 🤣🤣 such an angy little thing 🥰
Another great one is with the mouse in the guys car I just came from. That's the funniest dodo video I have seen so far. Especially the guys last words to the mouse as he sets it free.
@@jdogsful Wrong, they fear humans when not exposed to us right from the beginning, and if you let them hide all the time they never get the exposure. There's a short window of time to tame kittens, and after that it becomes very difficult. Keeping them confined ensures they get the contact they need to become tame. Sourdough was more resistant than his litter mates, but if he wasn't confined, he NEVER would have accepted humans.
@@krisniznik3953 lol. wrong. all my cats have been either strays or feral. food, kindness, comfort and safety is how trust is gained. try understanding their personalities and not forcing them to be in situations they dont want to be in. Fact is, there are many ways to tame a beast. Some methods are just more enlightened. This chick sucks at it, koz she cares more about recording it for content.
@@jdogsful You're still watching though aren't you? My cats are former ferals too, and some do tame that way over time. I have one that decided to be tame at 12. Fostering kittens is different though. They need to have less choices. While I wouldn't have left him without a sibling, I would have taken away his hiding places so I could pet and hold him on my terms. They are baby mammals, they don't have their mother and they need someone to be gently in charge of them. When they accept it, they will feel more secure than if we let them hide indefinitely in fear.
@@jdogsful She did a great job, maybe you don't understand what end result is, and you just live in a delusional that you could do it better, you don't own the kittens mind, you can't control him with your brain, you literally have to make the cats get familiarized with you, and she did just that.
Aw, poor scared Baby! Used to volunteer at a rescue organization, and a group of kittens came in, with the same scenario. I worked with the one kitty that just wouldn't give in, and it was actually the first to be adopted. It's tough to see them go, but you know it's for the best. ❤❤❤💋
As a former cat & kitten rescue, I love feral kitten stories with a happy ending! We used to call them little spitters. If you find yourself with a feral fuzzy ball of claws and hate weighing less than about three pounds, or around a kilo, it's essential to gently 'force' attention on them, as opposed to waiting for them to decide if they like humans. Cloth towel purrito, paper towels handy to wipe your blood off your hands, gentle handling and talking to them, don't flinch or show any fear when they act aggressive. Don't punish them for being frightened and feral, they're just following their core instincts to survive. Try to schedule your socialization sessions just before feeding time, so they feel rewarded for tolerating human contact. During the socialization period, emphasize the connection between humans and food. Hungry kitty? Then be nice to the humans and they will feed you. If safe to do so, hand-feed treats and dry food, but don't sacrifice your fingers! Treat all cat bites, even from tiny kittens, as highly septic, almost venomous. If a bite breaks the skin, immediately wash with disinfectant, apply antibiotics, bandage. If swelling and inflammation occur, seek medical help quickly. I've seen cat bites go from "eh, no big deal," to "if the doctor's office isn't open, we're heading for the emergency room!" within a few hours.
_"Treat all cat bites, even from tiny kittens, as highly septic, almost venomous."_ Cat saliva actually _is_ venomous (in a manner of speaking) to some birds and prey-animal species, and the proteins, etc. in it are what drive allergic people's reactions. So, treating cat bites (and scratches that draw blood, by extension) as mid-tier threats to health isn't a bad idea.

Reminds me of my cat, Little Bit. She originally got the name because of her unusual habit of doing everything in very small amounts. She would eat frequently through the day, but only a little bit at a time, or sleep omly a little bit at a time, usually only about half an hour. After chatting with a vet and some checkups, it was determined to just be a personality thing. The name slowly gained new meaning as she got older and developed an extremely opinionated attitude towards everything, and her name became Little Bit' instead, now being abbreviated. She's going on 17 now, and her attitude has long since faded away, she's an absolute cinnamon roll these days, but we all very much remember her spicy years
Gorgeous little baby he looks so cute when his trying to attack. How a kitten can be so small and have already the strength to protect himself. Thanks for sharing.❤❤❤❤
I've fostered hissy, spitty kittens before. I just put a pair of gloves on and pick them up and they usually come around very fast is their young enough. a couple of months old and it's a different story.
This little one REALLY reminds me of a lesson I learned working in a preschool. The kids that need loved the most, will ask for it in the worst ways. He really didn't trust easily, but one he does, such a lover.
He is absolutely adorable! He was just so scared! Thank God for YOU & your patience & unconditional love!!!!! Because of all that, he now knows what live is & feels safe!!!!! God bless you all!!!! 🥰💕🙏😊
What a special boy!! Love how he now is a lovebug! Sometimes the only remedy is to separate him from his siblings. I've done fostering and had 1 gray female spicy that took twice as long, the humane society put her separate from the other cats, then foster to adopt. It worked out for her, thank God 😊 🙏 🙌
I find hissing kittens to be so adorable. I just want to kiss their little faces, even when they want to tear my face to shreds. I am so happy that sourdough is coming around! Thank you for all your foster work!
Cats takes patience and a lot of love and trust to reciprocate that love and trust! You have given him that and now he’s ready to be your buddy! Good work!
This is adorable. I commend you for doing this work! I had to stop doing it myself as I couldn't handle the heartbreak at the end when I had to give the kittens back after spending so much time caring for them and making friends.
💕 So many beautiful kitties to love. And LOVE is ALWAYS what they need MOST. Yes, of course they need food, shelter, safety. But it is LOVE that changes them, their hearts & their lives. May Almighty God profoundly bless those who Rescue, who Foster, who Adopt... who dearly 💕 LOVE 💕 & 💕 CHANGE THE LIVES 💕 of homeless innocent angels who, above all else, need & are so worthy of... LOVE.💕🙏💕
His eyes as he looks down from his solo cage! So expressive. If looks could kill...🧟
Yeah.. I didn't like that at all. Almost counterproductive
"Imma piss in your shoe later." The kitten probably.
baby im the fashion demon
that look mean oh god i hate u so much now u evil lady u put me here hang on top now u get the look
0:56
He was mad because he lost his disciples
Poor kitty, trying so hard to look fierce but ends up looking adorably cute 😆
"I angy!"
That's always so hilarious. We can't take them seriously ^.^
Sourdough: “ F-[MEOW] you!!! I’m not cute!!!” [Runs back into blanket]
Me: [Holding in laughter] “ Even foul language isn’t helping the purrito baby…”
I thought he was promising, he will thrive no matter the condition
Well until they get you with those claws :p
Never has a kitten been named so accurately. Very adorable!
sourdough has all the flavor for sure!
Right! ❤️I wonder if his sybs were Rye, Wheat, Marble, etc.
Sourdough, Sourpuss - either were appropriate and completely true!
It is approximately the best name for anything, ever
😂

His name fits him perfectly, “Sourdough” he is adorable. I’m so glad he came around to being a loving little fur baby.
I think Shredder might be more fitting cuz he's deadly.
Omg, that side eye he gives her at 1:57 as he's in his purrito and she's talking about how much he hates her. LOL 😂😂🤣🤣
Yes 😂😂
Her: “…he hates my guts…”
Him: “Sleep with one eye open.”
@@everlasting9292 Him: "Understate much?"
2:09
Her: kisses his cheek.
Him: *"I will dissect you alive."*
Sourdough: "For ONCE, we agree on something".
The way he looks up at her when she says "Sourdough still absolutely hates my guts" just cracks me up. What a cute little guy. Full of mischief.
Thank you so much for saving all those kitties. They just need love.❤😊
😁😂🤗🤗
You're so welcome! Be safe, Ms. D'Agostino. G'bye.
no matter how many times i watch this its still amusing to watch

@@tdavenport720 Right and this baby was extra spicy…lol
The kitten deserves all the love. God bless him.
That pan up to the cat with just his eyes staring you down was the funniest thing I've seen in awhile.

Kitten hates his foster mom, so she wraps him up in a purrito and keeps him close. Amazing!
the fact that she locks them in a cage and wraps him up so he cannot move is the reason why he did not trust her. wake up.

Glad he started trusting and saw how his life changed for the better.. great story..💛💛💛💛💛
Truly noble work. As it should be. Thank you and God bless
Kitten is a definition of tsundere
I love how kittens can be the size of your hand and still READY TO FIGHT YOU! 😂🥰
Sourdough ❤️ Thank you for rescuing these beautiful cats. Peace and blessings.
You’ve earned his love. God bless you for taking such tender care of this little angel.
This woman is adorable. Bless her!✨

Trust is something you can't demand, it has to be earned.. with the help of a purrito! Adorable spicy kitty.. ♥️
3:10 That spring-loaded leap when the credits start oh my god 😻
I first learned from my sister just how narrow the window for socializing kittens can be. It's pretty incredible that you were able to socialize him.
*Absolute heroes. My heart goes out to those wonderful people who saved those animals. Gives me faith again in this messed up world of ours.*
You are a patient soul! Great job!
There should be a channel dedicated to foster fails. They’re the only stories I like
That’s a problem 😅
