Yes! I moved a few months ago with my girl. She was fine once we were in the new house, and she got used to the new house really fast. But cars and especially being in a cage terrify her. She threw up on the car ride, and was crying and whining in misery the whole time. I've tried everything I know, but she just hates cars and cages no matter what I do. Her previous home was abusive, so I think she might have had a traumatic travel experience with them.

Thanks, Jackson. My rescue cat is a little over 17 years now and has slowed down. while I have played with her, I never pushed the play cycle as you've suggested. I found you more recently and the patterns are now set. She and her adopted sister (now gone) always demanded free-style eating. It didn't (doesn't) matter how much or how little I put down for them, they always leave some for "tomorrow" though they've never missed a meal either. I now weigh their food before and after and the difference varies. Most food is eaten after (my) bedtime. I also weigh her at least once a week and it varies too, but not much. For future subjects, I'd appreciate improving her car travel. She loves her crate but despises the car - with a persistent, horrific, yowling for the entire journey - sometimes two hours worth! I've tried quite few things. It no longer matters as much now that I'm no longer traveling, but I'd still be interested. The second subject I'd appreciate deals with kidney failure and how to improve life in that stage. Thanks much.

My cat just turned a year old. My cat has so much energy and I love it 🥰

my cat is totally the one who is still wild and running around the house playing all the time. she's just a very high energy girl. she's around 5 now, and I've hard her since she was a year and a half. She's gotten more cuddly as our bond has grown stronger and stronger, but she's still a very energetic girl who needs many play sessions and still enjoys just running and giving off her hunting cry at random times just for the fun of it.

My cat was a rescue that we adopted out of a shelter. When we got him, the shelter said he was 3 months old, a week later the vet said nope hes about 6-7 months old so Im thinking hes maybe a little over a year now? Anyway hes a psycho. A weird little psycho that sleeps with his head in shoes, randomly freaks out and does somersaults all over the house and has a habit of attacking the wall.

She's not a big eater and I have to add extra stuff like morsels to keep her weight at normal range. She's naturally a tiny kitty. She still gets Mommy's attention as far as feeding goes with the wet food and morsals. ❤❤

I suspect the problem is feeding other cats on the ledge of my mum's flat and the invasion of privacy involved. First and foremost lots of strays/ outdoor cats in my country and so we can not not feed the strays as we have been doing it for decades long before Lady come along and made her home with us and the cats come to us starving and they are ever growing in number, the only thing we can do for them is to neuter them but people keep bringing their unwanted pets :(( to our complex buildings where they know they are safe and fed. what can I do to relieve my baby's misery and keep her from abandoning her territory altogether? please help.

We play every morning and evening before I go to bed…sometimes in the afternoon. I feed 4 times a day 1/8th cup each time. She has never eaten human food nor canned food, she refuses.

Jackson, you always talk about routines, but can you make a video about how to implement a proper routine, how it should look like, and why its necessary? Would be awesome

My little guy doesn't play if he has to move too much. Found him as an adult wandering around our apartments.

My 2 girls are 6yo, nearly 7. I rescued them back 2015. When they were indoor(night)/outdoor(day) cats I started the routine of dry food in the morning and then wet food at night as an enticement to come inside. For the last 3 yrs, after we moved States, they became indoor cats only due to my wanting to protect the natural wildlife. The food routine has stayed the same, but they are given less food. Initially, I was giving them the same, but my ginger girl was putting on weight - she's a grazer. For the last few months, since I reduced the food portions, she's become more active and more affectionate. My grey & white girl has always "owned" me, but now that my son is grown and moved out, she's had to share me with my ginger. Most nights find me either flanked by the girls or covered by them. I love it.

I so much enjoyed today's video. My Ginger died recently at 20, two years after her life partner, Freddie. I have just gotten two new shelter cats, both beautiful and both about 4 years old. And I am having to learn that they are not super senior and have different wants and needs. I have made some climbing structures for them and pretty soon I am hoping to move to an enormously large place where I can properly catify it. But especially in the meantime, thanks again for the advice.

My Alle flood is 18-19 years old. Looking forward to watching the next segment of the video.

8:52. DAMN YOU Jack Galaxy in a good way. Because of your wisdom and cat knowledge, I just now moved my cat tree that was several ft away from my window to now just hugging next to the window. Now my cats are chasing each other again with the zoomies lol. Thank you :)

What natural in oils are ok for cats in control of yard tics. One of neighbors spray ingredients was Citrix.

My cat is about 4 yrs old. We have a feeding and play routine. She lives for it. She cries snd reminds me how much she needs it. I got her less than a year ago as a rescue so I’m in the process of making a play/cat run/ climbing area. She loves it and lives to play on it all day but especially before feeding time. I hope she stays healthy and always want to play

Love you Galaxy! Thank You!

Hey Jackson! Love your channel and could really use some advice. I’m fostering two feral cats (aged 6months). They have been with me for almost a month and were making great progress. However, that progress has been at a strand-still this past week. They’re living in a basecamp that I made them. I cant touch them,, they hate when I try, but they play with me and eat in front of me. So my question is, one of them keeps looking out of the room, (glass doors/drapes) and I’d like to let them explore, but I have 2 cats of my own and am scared of them coming out and either fighting or hiding. I spend 3-4 hours in there each day, and was hoping to get some advice on what to do from here. Do I ignore them poking there faces out, or do I attempt to let them out into the main part of the home? If you find time, please let me know, I’ve seen all your videos on this.☺️

my cat turned 7 this year, he's still pretty energetic and wants to play daily, during quarantine I had to exhaust his energy before starting work at home or he wouldn't let me :D but I've noticed that these play sessions got shorter than before.

I can't wait for that senior, super-senior videos.

Thank you Jackson. You should do a piece with Kevin Richardson about huge differences between house cats and big cats.

How about making a video to help Outood/Indoor Cats to stay inside more? Maybe make a video for those whose cat has Feline Leukemia?

Jackson, love your videos. As far as the "mature" life stage goes, how would you say the stage is affected if the cat is rehomed during that time? I adopted a rehomed 5-year old cat earlier this year. She'll be 6 in August. Are there any things about their mature life stage that might change or be affected by a sudden change like this?

You have great videos on cat introductions. Would you consider one on introducing them to other humans? I’d love our new boy to be less afraid when we have visitors to the house. We are having them sit on the floor and chat quietly with us but if our boy flood Finnegan comes out, they can feed him one of those liquid treat tubes to hopefully give him a positive experience. Thanks again for all you do. Your videos have really helped me learn how to give the boy a good home and setting him up for success coming from a dog only background. He’s only been with us a week but yesterday he even let me clip his nails! I only did a few as I didn’t want to push it but I was thrilled how calm and trusting he was. I also understand how much he likes to get high up and more vertical catification is on the way. :)

CrazyBella is getting a bit more intimate and personally loving towards me ,as she approaches her 2nd year...I give her loads of stimulation and play that stimulates her mind and body...and she has a lovely new kitten playmate that is my roommates teenager! She is so wonderful!

My 2 year old cat is still obsessed with a sisal string that he's been playing with since forever... And the other toy that still gets him going is a little mouse, and the kitten I adopted is also obsessed with the mouse, so it's fun to watch them play at the same time with it...

For my 7 year old we mix a few different cat foods for him and he loves all of them he's not completely on wet food because my vet thinks that the dry food helps his teeth but he definitely gets more wet food then dry and with the wet food I have this meal plan where I give him a different type every day so he never gets bored with his wet food and never gets the same type two days in a row.

my honeybear played daily until she was 19, and i played with her regularly and she also engaged herself with, yes, a few toys that were always left out , and id rotate toys in and out to keep things stimulating and enriching

I hear you, Jackson, about how a cat's activity level may go down as he gets older. There is a KZread channel where they have been filming their cat at age seven, back in 2014. The cat is sixteen, now and he does not jump around as much as he used to at age seven. His meowing has also gotten deeper and it is now lower pitched.

Happy Caterday everyone!😻

@Jackson Galaxy Would you please do a video on what to feed senior cat's? Mine has problems keeping wet food down and diarrhea when I feed him canned cat food. He's a 13 yrs old fixed male.

I really need to play with my cat more. I used to play with her all day every day and since I've been depressed Ive found myself just making sure she has food and water and spending all day in my bed in the dark. She's so sweet she cuddles with me all day but I know it's not good for her. I'm gonna try harder for her sake. One thing that I do manage to do is I break her (small) treats in half and throw them down the stairs so that she runs down after them and I don't throw another one unless she comes all the way back up the stairs.

Put a portable toy like the cat dancer in your nightstand, you can have play time in bed :) I do the same when I'm really down. With wire type toys like that it's a bit easier because you don't even have to move much to make it interesting for your cat. My cats also love me throwing them some kitty boinks (google it) or little plastic spirals, the spirals are an all time favorite, even when all other toys become boring.

I am grappling with my 15 & 16 year old "babies"❤️ CKD with the older one and hyperthyroid with the other. I have a vet that comes to my house $$$ and I am doing everything I can to care for them including meds every 12 hours. Sometimes I get anxious and I'll admit frustrated because now I'm not allowed to be away, and I work 10 hour shifts a few days a week. At times It has been very emotional & frustrating trying to understand what they need. I am adapting to their needs & I love caring for them. it's heartbreaking to see the aging process happen. The money on food and litter alone 😭 I absolutely love them unconditionally. We have had many life times together. I keep them active with catnip, and toys and really try to understand and nurture this new very needy stage in their elderly life ❤️

My cat is 11, so I'm waiting for next episode! Thank you, CatDaddy

Hi Jackson! This video is extremely helpful, I'll definitely come back to this one as my cat's life stages go by, just to make sure I'll be doing what's best for my feline friend 🙂 I have a European Shorthair of 11 months old. She is the EQUIVALENT of Sonic the Hedgehog in the morning. Got her from a highschool friend. Let me tell you, this cat saved my life. If it weren't for her, I probably still would've been stuck in my depression. I dread the day where my little Sonic the Hedgehog copy will be less and less active (let's hope she has that Peter Pan Syndrome 🤣). Not only does she give my household new life, she gives me life as well. Anyway, keep rocking! 😁

Thanks cat Daddy very educational. Again and again you have supplied me with brilliant “parenting “ lessons. Mojo

Great video. Thank youfor doing this educational videos. Maybe you could do a video on how to care for sick, chronic, acute and terminal sick kitties. Idk, maybe that is too sad. Any way im waiting for that senior/geriatric kitty video.

I'm looking forward to you getting back on the road!!

I have 3 cats, and 2 were found on the street. My mainecoon (we think) is the most "aggressive" cat, and is on a kill list at the shelter. The only reason we have him is because I begged to go get him, and now that I watch your videos I finally understand some of his behaviors, like biting us when we pet his back. I always ask to pet him by putting my hand to his nose and letting him decide what to do. I also recently started walking him outside. He definitely has began to trust me more, and everyone else just says he's mean or moody but I tell them they just aren't listening to him. You've inspired me to try and work with cats from shelters to become adoptable.

didn’t expect to hysterically sob while watching this because it made how old my cats are feel so much more real

I currently have 5 feral kittens.. trying to educwte myself. I wiah i had more time to build an obstacle cpurse for them but i have so many other things and chores and animals ... They follow me constantly and jump on my back of im turned around... Sometimes i feel like a harried mother... Please we desperately need to educate the public about spaying and neutering, and thst they arent just a throw away pet when people move 💜

My cat was always a snuggle bug, but as she gets older; if you forget to say hi in the morning or after work she'll ignore you for a whole day and then the next she'll throw a hissy fit if she doesn't get cuddled immediately. Her personality is absolutely adorable
