@@Siafk Ty, to go a bit deeper on the subject, egg laying actually a suicide mission for the female jigger flea. She burrows into the hosts skin head first leaving the caudal tip of its abdomen visible through an orifice in a skin lesion. This orifice allows the flea to breathe, defecate & expel her eggs all the while feeding on the host’s blood. She secrets an enzyme that breaks down the surrounding skin tissue to accommodate her growing abdomen full of fertilized eggs. Once she expels her eggs she dies and her remains decay adding to the tissue reducing enzymes. This leaves permanent scarring and craters in the skin where the flea once occupied.
I always wonder where people are looking, to only be finding bad music. If you're listening to pop stations on the radio you're gonna be hearing sterile pop music, maybe try expanding your horizon? The amount of boring pop music and popular ""mumble rap"" is outweighed by the crazy amount of music coming out these days.
Wow. This is a lot of comments on what I expected was to be considered an ironic comment. I'm sorry for upsetting so many with my obviously non-witty humor.
I love it when videos have so many comments in different languages, it reminds me we are all human. And in in this case it reminds me that we all love cats 😂😂
0:46 her/his yawn sounded like a slide whistle! ❤ Edit: Jesus Christ, sorry. Didn't know this simple comment would cause a gender war. We really are at the lowest point in humanity.
This really touched my heart. The lyrics are so powerful and they really speak to me. The part where kitty said “meow” really made me feel some emotions I can’t really describe in other words than “beautiful and powerful”. Thank you for this masterpiece!
I completely agree. This song has a timeless feel to it, and the lyrics - my God! Here I thought Eminem had the market cornered on amazing diction until I heard Badu start to sing. I hope they tour one day. I'll walk to the closest show clear across Canada if I have to just to see Badu perform live!! Thank God ALL Catnip is legal in the True North; I'll bring enough for all the Cool Cats 😎🐈😻❤😆
Usualy it's because it's natural for cats to stay away from other cats urine as it's making their territory so there could be a message in it for that particular cat to stay out. If they are all using the same litter tray or area, try having a separate place & tray for that cat.
I love that it's NOT one of those videos where the person is doing something to the cat (hurting, annoying, ..... etc) just out of eye shot of camera. They get a bunch of hits and it encourages them to do more videos. This guy is very good with his cat and the cat looks happy and healthy.
But they are. Can’t you hear the terror in the poor kitty’s cries? The fear in its pleading eyes as it begs for them to stop snapping like a mad man and give them food and pets? 😢
I almost shed a tear at the beauty of the cat's voice, pure, emotive catharsis that just expresses all the lyrics exactly like they're meant to be sung, this cat needs to win a world record and tell all its friends. such a beautiful song with no bias whatsoever to this being a cat. Purrfessional singer, first of its kind!
I liked the way he looked away while still singing on queue. the cat equivalent of drinking a glass of water while the ventriloquist dummy is still talking... And of course there's the fact that he's a black cat. 😆

This is what the internet is for. Thank you to both of you.

What a purrfessional . He didn't miss a cue, even during a yawn.
I see what you did there 😏
So way! Huh

Hey, the Cat is the lead singer, whereas the guy is just a well trained human attendant keepin the beat on a guitar. It's clear who the leader is.
That and the amp is probably nice and warm
Yes, like Jordan Rudess.

jazz is made for laid back cats; or laid back cats made jazz, whichever
almost?. Please, respect to the furry singer.
What I love is the laid-back delivery of Badu's phrasing. It takes human singers years to purrfect such ease and effortless presentation. Bravo!
This is too digging cute
Badu went to the Willie Nelson school of back-loaded vocal phrasing.

You cant sing the blues unless you know the blues.
That cat knows the blues!

This cat can play !
Actually, I was thinking the opposite: "This cat don't know no blues." But her dude has some fine guitar licks!
She is singing the “your out of cat treats” blues.
Kitty felt so bad they threw their treats across the lawn
We saw her when she was just a kitten in Nashville back in the day, she’s been through a lot but she stayed true to her music.
Great background on this cat, Ronald.
Love it!

She must be trans then because this cat is a HE 😆
