People always assume a single man with cats is sadness, a single woman wit cats is crazy cat lady, but a single man/woman with dogs is a happiness. And like you said, people happiness is different. Better not to compare it.
@Blue Girl It's... Like... Literally shown. When something is literally shown it's not projecting. Some people are happy with cats and some aren't. If you were genuinely happy you wouldn't need to feel so attacked maybe?
This was beautiful and actually soothing to watch. And to the others who said this piece was “sad” you should look closer! This man lives a peaceful, HAPPY life of his own choosing. His devotion to his adorable kitties is something to behold and this little peek into his life was really fascinating!❤️
The pleasure is all mine, thank you for allowing us into your home, life, and your family of you and your beloved cats. When people make videos of their lives with their furry family members, it makes me happy and warm feeling in my heart, knowing that they are being well taken care of and loved unconditionally, and I saw this in the video of you and your furry family members! But also watching the video I get a sense of loneliness from you, if you do feel lonely, just always remember that as long as you have your precious cats you’ll never be alone, and that there are people out here in the world that are lonely also but , but art here for you if you need a friend or just someone to give a word of encouragement or if you just need someone to be there and listen. Well once again I enjoyed your video, and and look forward to watching your videos on your channel, have a nice day and give your cats a cuddle for me! Sincerely Renee

There is absolutely nothing but joy and beauty in this piece. I can't imagine how anyone can see sad when that man is so full of love, and his cats love him right back. That is what family is supposed to be- trust, devotion, support and love.
The worst aspect of living with cats in cleaning the litter box, unless you have a dog. The worst aspect of living with other humans is how vicious they are...
Same but a big house filled with all kinds of cats especially ones that need spacial care and older cats! Lots of space so they can lay on the sun and be spoilt by me.
just because NYT published this doesn't mean they made this. This is an opinionated documentary created by independent filmmaker that is published in NYT
I was very confused as to why NYT would feature this. I wouldn’t say it wasn’t original and that I didn’t enjoy being a cat lover myself. This piece was certainly abstract
Keep in mind that, though not included in the film, this man is getting lots of socialization with other humans when he takes the cats out and is no doubt enjoying comments from others about his beautiful, well behaved feline companions. Also, though there is an overpopulation of cats resulting in high euthanasia rates, this man is breeding a specialty cat that some are willing to pay high prices for and will give them exceedingly good care. So he's contributing to others happiness when he sells the kittens, while enjoying raising them for a time, and interacting with potential buyers. Still, we see a seemingly lonely man crying in the bathroom. Life has its low points for all of us. // Hopefully anyone viewing this will be inspired to go to your local animal shelter, adopt a cat, provide it good care including spay/neuter -- and receive many good years of loyal, entertaining companionship.
His cat has show titles and is likely genetically screened for health problems, plus he's travelling far to mate his female to a worthy male. This does look to me like some backyard breeding operation but careful selective breeding.
@@IsThatEtchas You also can’t breed two folded ear cats together because the kittens will have severe joint and bone problems. Not all Scottish folds have folded ears and any given litter usually has just one or two folded ear kittens . Responsible breeders breed straight ears to folded ears only.
This series is so awesome to me. It makes me realize that under all of the chaos and division in the world, we all just need someone or something to love.
they way he lives in the city i went to school in for 8 years and i used to see him on my lunchbreaks cycling around the city with a cat on his shoulder he's an absolut legend
Oh I promise you - You can’t fake bringing cats in public, nevermind to ski resorts where they’re riding on your shoulders, or even peacefully riding in a shopping cart for that matter 🤣 A dog? Maybe... They’ll obey/honor anyone that may potentially feed them. A cat? No way... Only when you’ve loved them and nurtured them in ways humans hardly even love their own human children anymore. This mans character is unmatched, and yes I can gather that simply from seeing this short film.
Nvm, I'm wrong. I read the description box and it turns out they're Scottish Folds. His Scottish Folds look *_very_* similar to British Shorthairs though.
I liked it. As a cat owner I am impressed how he goes out with them on his shoulder... that was amazing. And those who said it was sad, YOU feel sad and YOU feel lonely... I can tell you by experience that he is doing well and happy, life with cats is very nice and fulfilling, they are great companions, they make you laugh, they are very cuddly, they are perfect. The only thing I did not like is breeding them... unless he keeps the kittens...
He seems like a pretty lucky guy! He gets to hang out with his cats, which is something he enjoys, so kudos to him. And I really like the scene were the cats are listening to electronic music. 🙌🙌🙌
This is very touching for me, as a VetMB and as a human. My Chilean mate is like this sir, but she's much younger and female, and she has strays, spray and neuter, and they don't behave as good as Marmalade and Katiusha. She doesn't interact much with humans but she is not lonely, she gives and receives love, to and from her cats. She sent me this link. But some trolls falsely report her channel and now she cannot watch TH-cam. That's how humans treat the ones who are more sensitive and ostracize them. That's why they prefer cats.
That cat sitting like that is such a mood. He's truly cherishes his cats so much and they are so well behaved. My cats are nuts about everything that i can't even bring them to the park, cuz they went crazy with the birds😂😂
This could have been a film by Werner Herzog. I had to double=check the credits, for goodness sake! I'm just not sure how to feel about this...except I love my kitties too. Just perhaps not quite like this?
can you imagine if this guy met a woman at a cat event and they fell in love and got married and had their morning coffee with their kitties everyday and took care of them and went into business together breeding cats? omfg. I would cry from the wholesome happiness. He just needs his own crazy cat lady. But only if that would make him happy.
the way it is interpreted is that even if you lose everyone you love you can find closure and a goal in your life. to do what the cat want and the cat will sponge all that negative energy and it will cure you from deppression better than any other drugs. You don't own cat is the cat that own you . Cat know how to take care of himself but let you love him. and it will show.
I love that he can take his cats with him to the grocery store and that he can check his mail in his underwear. I wish I could do that. He has a beautiful family and the end is beautiful when the mama cat gives birth to her kittens and he asks Alexa to play a song to them.
23 yrs. & 109 day together w my Russian Blue, (Baby Blue) who was all over the US with me but in his car seat & stroller not on my shoulder. My 2 yr. old kitty is just as spoiled & I hope to have as many wonderful years with him.
I can picture myself like this in the future. I also live alone with my cat today. I've left my family house for about 3 years now. I'm 28, working, single, and happy.
Some people aren't used to the thought of a quiet peaceful life can make you happy because with a lot of things showing us that we have to be on our feet we have to be running we have to be doing things and always doing things to be happy we can't take a moment to just appreciate how things already are
I have new and transformative life goals to achieve now! Like getting ernie to hang on my shoulder while we do everything... you can teach a 12 year old cat new tricks, yeah?
Tbh and i dont mean disrespect to those who have lost loved ones,jobs, etc due to covid, but being "forced" to be home has been wonderful for me. I've spent hours lounging around and having ongoing one way conversations w my cat.
Most of the time I'm looking forward to be with my cats and dogs. My dream is to live alone with them, no worries, no one else to bother and add problems to your life.
Why is everyone saying this is sad?? He’s happy this way!! Just because his happiness is different than yours doesn’t mean that his is invalid
Thank you ! I find it so cute and heartwarming ! I live alone with my cat and I relate to that.

I agree! Lol
I thinks is really cool.

Vice versa 😂

I love that he takes them everywhere!

The most surreal thing I have every seen is a guy walking around with two cats on his shoulders at a ski lodge. Now I've seen everything.
why is it sad ? those cats are great companions
I wish I could live like him

What a lovely, quiet film. So much going on here.
This is a sad, disturbing and comforting, all at once.
It is exactly that kind of sensation
What’s sad about it? Is it a projection because he looks content
Why sad?
This is so sweet! Thanks for sharing. My cat came over to watch when she heard Marmalade's meows.
No greater gift than the love of a cat💖 love my “ pocket tiger” Ellie Fluffers!🐈
s b no only cats lol. I like my dog too!

Why are you obsessed with his pants 😁 there is nothing wrong with being in your underwear in your own house.
Almost four minutes in and I just find the whole vibe of this creepy, and I love cats.

Yo, his awesome boots and his relationship with his cats are the best things I've seen all week.
This was amazing, I haven't been this raptured in what seems forever.

Hi The New York Times, I like your content. I love watching your videos.
He loves his kitties, his kitties love him.
This is so sweet!
"Alexa" "Tell me more about pants!"
With such incredible cat-companions like his, I probably wouldn't feel alone either. My cats would run away the second they got out of the house.
Most of the time I'm looking forward to be with my cats and dogs. My dream is to live alone with them, no worries, no one else to bother and add problems to your life.
I didn't want this to end.
Oh that was just adorable
Thought I was weirdo for how much I love cats, feeling better now😂
That is a cute gray kitty
Joy always finds a way!
And this video is art!
This guy has the worlds most well behaved cats.
Anyone who loves cats will understand this man.
If I weren't married this would be me. Down to the clothing and music choices. (Although ugh at not fixing your pets.)
I just know that the title will be my future excuse to my therapist and loved ones.
I loved this
The only thing sadder than this man treating his cats like this is if he didn't have the cats to treat this way T_T
