- My cat Chelsea gets up close and personal with a squirrel who is more concerned with the peanuts than her presence. Sorry about the initial vertical perspective. I thought I'd get a brief clip shooting vertically, but things changed unexpectedly.
Update April, 2017 - Since I took this video, Chelsea and the squirrels lead a very peaceful co-existence and share the deck nicely. Even the neighbor cat who visits pays the squirrels no attention. I'll look out and see two cats and three squirrels all sitting there looking at each other. Chelsea does like a good game of chase, though. Occasionally the squirrels will indulge her and play.
Chelsea: leave me alone mom, I don't have many friends. Go back inside.
No, it's believable. My cat wanted to be friends with everything (Skunks, mice, rats, birds). He brought a baby bird home once and ran to the door so I can open it up. He then ran out to the tree where the nest was. Skunk? He just "chilled" with the skunk. They were inches apart and looked very relaxed with each other. I was sweating bullets thinking if my cats gets sprayed, he's not setting foot in the house. Birds hated him. They would swoop down and "boink" him on his head.
She AND the neighbor cats are now all on a first-name basis with the squirrels. They all hang out on the deck together.
hokiejane That's great! They are networking to get the latest news around the neighborhood.
That's so cute. :)
We had sparrows and pigeons that would hover outside the window our cat would sit in...between the two cages of zebra finches pulling on his hair. Also squirrels that would hang on the window screen so they could sniff nose to nose.
Rick Tomei After having 3 different dogs sprayed by skunks (one of the 3 on Christmas morning 😵), your LUCKY.
Chelsea is a lover, not a fighter:).
Chelsea is a pussy
@@SIKE01 I mean, you are right
I love the way your cat first looked to you for guidance on what to do...😄. Squirrels are cute. Cats are cute. Can't go wrong here !
I think the cat thought, **** thats a big mouse!
Actually, pure nature rats grow up to the size of a small dog like small poodles and cats actually hunt them. So, a cat wouldn't think of such squirrel as "big"
@Mike Grover ha! I'm not sure what a teefuse is, but I can guess!
@@TTTTTJJJJJEEEEENNNNN Squirrels are only rats with a better hairstyle and a penthouse apartment.
@@mikelucey5035 lol that nice,good one!
My cat would lay on the patio and birds and squirrels would come within a couple of feet and he'd just look at them. But if he saw a lizard, he was off like a rocket. I've seen him run halfway up the side of the house chasing a lizard.
Cat is like...."what I would do to you if there was no camera on me..."
Now that is a cat look that says, Can I play with it or can I eat it.
I thought the owner was worried about the squirrel, until: what if it bites your nose.
Squirrels have oral bacterial and bacteria under their nails which is different from that of cats. A scratch or bite, even superficial one, from a squirrel could cause quite a serious abscess in your cat, and result in a nice $300 + vet bill.
not to mention rabbies lol
Latin Lover squirrels don't carry rabies
FAKE NEWS
I know the second I go after the squirrel, ur gonna yell at me, the squirrel gonna hall ass, and it’s just gonna be a whole big thing. It’s just not worth it.
Cat's smart. Saving its energy. Eats high end food inside, not nuts and bark. Zero interest, zero fucks about squirrel.
incredibly adorable!
This is just unbelievable!!!!
What the heck. My yard squirrels wont come near me. And I've been feeding them expensive prime Virginia peanuts for 2 years.
That's embarrassing. Twice I caught my cat 20 feet up a oak tree hanging with squirrels in the nest. He will terminate mice, moles, chipmunks, birds but, squirrels he tries to play it cool and be friends. They have no respect for him. I have told him many times I don't want to hold him back, he can go live elsewhere. Nope, he's good.
I like happy endings ☺️☺️
That's one Brave squirrel LOL!
That squirrel has Chelsea's number dialed in. Thanks for an awesome video. Some cats just aren't into killing everything in sight. I had a female siamese who rescued injured small animals and brought them to me. She was also very involved in the healing process of the ones we were able to save.
I like this cat.
Siamese cats are very unique and unpredictable...though males are insanely territorial!
i get fed without taking risks. so why take risks? and that squirrel....did you see the flips and exercises he does every day? the dude is a specimen! nooo nooo too risky!
Peace living cat..and squirrel.
Looks exactly like my Siamese. And just as plump. Lol.
Amazingly, the concern with her is keeping weight on her. She was found as a stray, was horribly skinny, and wouldn't put on weight. She will only eat one kind of food, Science Diet dry, and with that I can keep her at a steady 8 pounds. I've never owned a cat before where losing weight was the issue to be avoided!
Well mine's so fat from lying on the bed all day and she's been spayed. I love her name. Very cute for a Siamese.
Did you expect her to kill the squirrel? is that why you started recording? Im not trying to be rude im actually curious.
No, I knew she wouldn't hurt it based on her previous behavior, but I was interested in how close the squirrel would let her get without running off. There are two squirrels who seem to know that she's not a threat.
Oh cool, that's really neat. I love squirrels but every cat iv ever had would attack them now I have dogs who chase them lol. Thanks for the reply.
@Break Editor 16 WAYS CATS ARE PUSSIES, YOU WON'T BELIEVE #7
We are Siamese if you please, we are Siamese if you don't please.
That squirrel is going to bite his nose? She will kill it if she want to
They are now BFF's
i agree, really unbelievable
Was I the only one worried for Chelsea?
Your beautiful cat has a malfunction
That squirrel is very brave, or very stupid.
meuui...mon cherrie!!!!
your cat got a ting for a nice bushy tail ;p
Your cat is defective and needs a firmware upgrade to Chelsea V2.0!
My old cat, declawed, brought me a present. And gently laid a mouse at me feet. Looked up at me so proud... The mouse ran away, got into my garage, and had babies soon after!
At 20 pounds and 17 years, he never lost his hunting abilities. But never ate his prey, Thank God. He also brought me a huge live cicada, and a dead bird also. May he rest in peace.
Now have two kittens, very bonded brothers, that play and sleep together. Quite a handful. Glad to rescue them, and give them a home and family, for as long as they will live!
metalmoto yikes! you let you defenseless declawed cat out?! Thats very irresponsible and I wont even get into how barbaric and cruel it is to declaw a cat. Ugghb.
I had a wonderful Siamese tom cat that killed & ate at least 1 squirrel per week. Apparently this cat hasn't learned to hunt.
Much better than Chelsea Clinton
At least I don't have any mental issue like you.
The spellcheck has solved my misspelling. However there is no solution to fix your spoiled mind.
GOOD KITTY !!
What does the owner want the cat to do kill it. Why not just be friends it doesn’t always have to fucked up all the time. Cat has respect
haha...disarmed by indifference.
Yeah, it’s all adorable until the cat gets attacked by a wild animal and is either killed or you’re spending $2k in an animal emergency room. Keep your cats indoors please.
your cat is probably wondering why they aren't scared of her, meaning she will not attack them in case they are more dangerous than expected
@Caldera11
Squirrels can Kung-Fu and have big Balls ;)
that makes sense lol
Cats are driven by instinct and a certain amount of emotion, they do not "wonder." What is far more likely is that wild animals are able to identity when a potential predator is actively predatory. The squirrel has probably been observing this cat over a period of time and observes it is well fed. The cat has no compelling reason to attack it.
Caldera11 my bangal cat would have its head my cat killed all the neighbering birds in all the trees and on the rooftop he also killed the baby birds
most likely this cat is a castrate and squirrel learned it at glance
Oh, hi cat.. *nomnomnom* don't sit on my nuts, OK? *nomnomnom*
Dassd Schsdu right on! Worthless cat probably doesn't kill rats either.
That's adorable. It's obvious Chelsea has never had to hunt to survive, but good for the squirrel. LOL Loved it! :)
Sandra Knapp my cat was afraid of hamsters. my hamsters broke out of their cage and were roaming around the house while I was asleep, and I woke up to the cat sitting in the bathtub crying lol....she was terrified of them. when I moved back to my parents house, my mom kept letting the cat outside (she was a completely indoor cat before that, and still never left the yard when let out), and she would sit on the deck and watch the birds and squirrels roam around right in front of her, but never figured out that she could eat them. She became a great bug killer, but she never grasped that anything other than moths were edible lol....
Nothing wrong with that. There are more than enough cats out there killing everything that moves, if they can. I think it's sweet that she is curious, without being deadly.
Sandra Knapp I agree, it's so CUTE.
Sandra Knapp adorable is a much better word than that bitch's voice in the video kept saying unbelievable lol
That is a very brave squirrel!
Teri Ross the squirrel was lucky that Chelsea wasn't in the mood for hunting.
Brave or hungry.
More like a stupid squirrel actually.
To survive the hunted must become the hunter.
The cat completely lost his hunting instincts.
I have a feeling it's not the first time they met lol. That squirrel is way too comfortable in her presence xD
The squirrel is sitting there saying "do you even cat?"
sweets08816 Ha ha ha haa I was thinking the same thing.
Lol I know right?
sweets08816 actually it's the cat saying, "do you even squirrel?!"
Lol u silly
Squirrels are very smart, they know the difference between a threat and curiosity. They have sheer speed and maneuverability in their favor.
The cat keeps waiting for the squirrel to give some sort of cue out of fear, and the squirrel knows if he acts like business as usual the cat won't be compelled to attack.
Micah, U hit the nail on the head, most predators expect their prey to flee but when the prey does the opposite, they get spooked lol.
@@jrewing2383 tell that to a hungry Tiger or Lion.
Squirrel business = eating eating eating.
That squirrel has brass balls! The body language exchanged between them is hilarious to watch. He is just daring the cat to even think about chasing him away.
That is a beautiful cat.
One of my cats used to twitch his tail like the squirrels he saw on the fence. The squirrel would twitch his tail back. They had conversations like that all the time. He just wanted to get the news from around the neighborhood.
That is so neat
Well, we know who wears the pants in this yard.
No, we all know who has the _nuts!_ lol
Squirrel: *Do what you're gonna do, but this is free food biatch...and I'm hungry!*
The cat considers the squirrel to be your guest! He sees that you put food out for it and are calm in it's presence.
My uneducated guess; Chelsea noticed her human feed the squirrel, so she wonders if that creature who is apparently deserving of food, has value in the humans eyes, and she respects her human enough not to kill what matters to her human.
I never would have thought of that but good point
DeeFibben aka Sanya Estherian that is completely accurate
Well,..you put that in perspective for me. Love your mind.
How about: the cat is not hungry....
@@adamjohnston5194 You wouldn't, but a cat would? Doubt it.
That's one clueless cat. My cat used to hunt and eat squirrels regularly. Rats, squirrels, and even birds were his victims.
I think your cat is broken. Time to get a new one that works.
I built mine from scratch. Got parts from round the back of Lucky Chang takeaway.
Wow. Great video. I was surprised that the squirrel was so brave and how the cat just watched with curiosity. Thanks for sharing. Thumbs up.
***PLOT TWIST***
Chelsea is the squirrel...
Haaaaa! Comment of the month!
The big nuts were the ones the squirrel was sitting on.
It's so lovely seeing two of my favorite animals--Siamese cat and grey squirrel getting along!
Amazing friendship.. brave squirrel and warmhearted cat. This wouldn't happen in my backyard as you can see from my videos.. haha
OMG Your cat looks EXACTLY like mine. I wish I could send you a photo of her so you can see. I have rarely seen any other siamese cat looking like mine.
LOL: I live in a 3rd floor condo with a big oak tree that runs along side my patio. The squirrels come onto the patio to eat the nuts I sit out in the bird feeder. My Burmese cat creeps up on them like he's going to do something but if they stay put and stare him down while they eat the nuts nuts he comes running back inside to where I am like: "they looked at me!"
Chelsea: (looking at owner) Does this guy have a death wish?
S: Come at me bro! Im gonna get those nuts
Chelsea: Go ahead, you're lucky Im not hungry cause hoomin feeds me and hi, Im cat
S: Nomnomnom
My cat sits and watches the squirrels play in my yard. She will however, stalk and kill moles and mice.
Chelsea is the same way. If you're a small rodent, you're in trouble.
That squirrel's lack of concern is what amazes me. I couldn't imagine any of the squirrels around my place ignoring a cat or myself like that.
ha ha ha...thats funny.. cat kind of embarrassed :)
The cat is being fed Waaaaay Good and lost the taste for Real Meat. One of our Cats ( Binky) thinks he has a Real Good Chance of catching a HUMMINGBIRD.
Our small outside backyard kitty which i feed so she can survive killed a squirrel and her brood ate most of it. When i came home they had left a leg and tail on the stoop. Her face was loose for a week. I put some colloidal nano-silver in the food & water and she's now fine. I doubt she will try that again though.
Clarence Dember that colloidal silver works great dosent it
Best video ever! Period! You can learn a lot from watching the animals.
"If he bites my nose I'll swat him off the railing to see if he can fly!"
They made a pact: The cat makes sure there's snacks, and the squirrel makes sure he pushes a neighbor squirrel out of a tree every now and then.
She's got cat class and she got a style what a cutie
Sing it Brian. (Cookie to those who get obscure 80s reference.)
Your cat is too cute!
Thanks for sharing this video
your cat sees 8 fps, you might need to change his cpu, I thing the poor thing is being bottlenecked. or either set his eyes to 800x600
I agree with the others, your cat's broken.
You should be proud of Chelsea instead of chiding her. She's got real class.
My big tom cat wouldn't think twice about fighting foxes, he tried it on with a squirrel and lost, bit his leg through to the bone, he never chased them again.
Nothing surprises me about cats anymore , that's why I love them.
That's one confident squirrel!
Come on you would have clear instructions that Squirrels should not be attacked...
Chelsea says, "I believe in tolerance and diversity for all."
While getting your food stolen.
tiny joe lets make Chelsea president!
As long as somebody feeds me and puts a roof over my head and it doesn't cost me anything. You've just solved the world's problems. Nobel Peace Prize is in the mail.
Cat's don't eat sunflower seeds
It was a meeting of the minds that went well, actually,
Raymond meeting the first time Marshal in a balcony
As my Mom always said.
Don't mess with Anything,..
THAT CAN WALK "UP" THE SIDE OF A BUILDING lol.
The cats name was Ghandi ,in a previous life
Tom Carr he would be gandhi only if he stay still even if squirrel bites him .
Remember gandhi did none violence even when Britisher were beating him and his ppl with sticks and gunning down ppl .
Go read jalliawala Bagh mascarace , even then gandhi was hell bent on none violence
The Cat is well fed, so the cat does not need to eat the squirrel to survive. And the squirrel is not threatening the cat in any way - not displaying threatening motions, or gestures, etc. The cat does not need to attack the squirrel, so it doesn't. Cats are very inteligent. Oh, and peanuts are not a kind of food a cat would go after anyway. Nice kitty!!
Squirrel: "Hello! Am squirrel!"
Cat: "... no, I think you're just plain nuts."
Chelsea is gorgeous. We had a seal point siamese once too
My cat was mostly an indoor cat except for the times we would sit out on the patio. From the first time (when he was told that good kitties protect the little animals not hurt them) he would just sit there and watch the various critters come and go. He respected all life forms, just like we should.
Somebody give this squirrel a Darwin Award
Hello Our cat chases When she sees a squirrel beşdde in this video Your cat Chelsea is so calm and behaved non reaction to the squirrel. In normal Cats don't want any other animal in their territory ( Zone ) They immediately show reaction the new commer animal as I experienced from My Cats. You are lucky that Your cat is so calm. God bless Chelsea. Kindly Regards to You from İzmir city Turkey.
That's amazing, , we have two cats exactly the same, little longer hair, but same markings, Himalayan long hair, beautiful cats.....nature is so funny at times. Thank you for sharing....🐱 🤗
I think your cat must be well fed...or the squirrel has moxy! Thanks for the video - enjoyed it!
Be quiet lady. It was all very believable
Would have been much more dramatic if the Squirrel would have attacked an biten the nose of the cat off. 2/10, just an attempt to be a drama but only slightly climactic.
So the squirrel has no idea that 10 razor sharp knives and one strong jaw was inches from its face.
is your cat a Buddhist?
