    Lifelong dog person here. My last sweet baby passed 6 months ago. Not long after, a stray cat literally wandered through my dog door, and decided to stay. I'm still trying to figure out how to interact with and care for this mysterious foreign beast. Wish me luck! 😂

    I think cat owners are becoming more aware of the need to keep our indoor cats entertained and stimulated. We construct catios, assemble cat trees, install cat perches on our walls and purchase interactive cat toys. (I’m having trouble typing this as one of my young tabby kitties keeps nudging my hand and purring as she would rather I use my hand to pet her.)

    I agree. Remembering frugal and practical attitudes my grandparents' generation had, it sounds unbelievable that ancient people would waste food for vain reasons. Also, I doubt that there used to be as much trash laying around as it is now, as food was much more scarce. In all the stories in folklore, cats are said to be kept to control mice. Also, dogs were domesticated around ~30000 years ago, the oldest rat killing dog breeds are only 600-500 years old. This theory that cats had no purpose makes no sense to me.

    A feral kitten got trapped in my apartment wall--I don't know how. But eventually, I trapped him and so I named him Jerry in honor of the how Tom tries to capture Jerry with his traps. Then I adopted him. Now, his gf moved in after giving birth to his kittens. They're awesome. And I'm not a cat person per se, but they are intriguing. They may not serve an original practical purpose but they are entertaining. They soothe my soul and bring a smile to me

    Cats may have originally come from nature, but now they are domesticated. They depend on humans for survival and they are not truly happy unless they have a human whom they love and whom loves them. I strongly disagree with the premise of this video that cats can have a meaningful life without a caretaking human - it’s just plain wrong. They would survive only so long and they would suffer many calamitous health issues. They don’t “learn to put up with humans.” They desire relationship with humans.

    There are many researchers & scientists who believe cats significantly affect the bird population, and I agree. The birds have enough predators w/o adding pet cats. Mine is a hunter and he would kill a bird once a week, lizards several a day, and the adorable tiny wild rabbits that everything wants to eat whenever he discovers one. He caught an injured baby crow , and since I always left the patio door open cat-width, he brought it in to the garage. I let it loose and the neighbors cat went for it- the parents pecked his eye out, so he suffered a painful injury and lost sight in that eye. It could’ve happened to mine. We also have coyotes hunting pet cats in our neighborhood. After that day, he could not go out again. I know he loved the outdoors, it makes me sad, he was probably happier, but I have to keep him safe.

I do. My oldest cat was put down when he was almost 23 years old. I train with my cats. They come when I call, they sit on command and so on. With patience and love you can train a cat, and it actually makes a closer bond. Our cat goes for walks with me and her big sister, a dog, and she loves it.

    23:56 - Cats didn't evolve or tap into this sensory bias we have for that sound range. It's always been the same as human babies. It is why lions have confused the sound of a crying human child as something they need to protect.

I adopted her soon after. She's very loving; however, she does have an inherited wariness. She's cuddly on her terms, doesn't want me to hold her. But will sit on my lap whenever I sit down.

    40:53 The black coat of a domestic cat is the result of the presence of a pigment called eumelanin; it's not the result of the “absence of colors.” The black color in a cat's coat is due to a high concentration of eumelanin in the fur, which results in a black appearance; it's a single color produced by the presence of this particular pigment.

    I have a gorgeous silver tabby with neon green eyes that is the sweetest, most talkative and passive cat ever. Super social cat that loves to be petted snd will come when called like a dog. She is not skittish whatsoever. One of the best cats i have ever had, and I have had some awesome cats with amazing personalities. We love our mama kitty. She is getting older and has developed diabetes. We are going to miss her so much when she is gone. 😢 I am so glad we saved her. She has been such a wonderful part of our family. I will keep her healthy and alive for as long as she can! ❤

    Informative! I am a huge Jackson Galaxy fan. Some of the opinions in this documentary are different than his, like why cats where domesticated in the first place. He though it was for hunting barns, etc. After reading the comments I see that others question some of the opinions in this. Either way, cats are special to us humans. I love my tuxedo cat, Tux. He a little over a year old.

    Don't forget that the information given in this video is from scientists who not only study all the ins and outs of cats but their behaviour as well. Whereas Jackson Galaxy is I believe a cat behaviourist. I would, however, as the previous statement said, go along with a bit of both. Having had the pleasure of sharing my home with cats for many years now and watching their behaviour, some (not all) are brilliant hunters, while others have absolutely no idea what to do with a bird or mouse once they've caught it. They do make wonderful companions and are a lot smarter than some people give them credit for.

    Interesting and very informative. On the topic of feral cats and length of time it can take to form a bond with one, I once had one female feral who took up residence in my yard. I had plenty of spaces where she could sleep and exist safely so when she showed to be pregnant, I made arrangements, when she was ready, to have the kittens fostered and adopted out. I had her brought back as I had made plans to feed her and let her live where it was wArm and comfortable. I then started the task of getting her to bond with me and it took 6 years to get her to jump in my lap and snuggle. She was a sweetheart to me but would only allow one other person, my granddaughter, the same privilege.

My Drake was a TNR cat that I adopted,Lala(Delilah) was a young 10 month ish old cat I met at work on the street,she had no chip,needed vaccines,and very fickle about food,I think she was a kitten born on the street but just got tired of doing it like that.. she absolutely chose me,she picked me out everyday for about a week before she came home with me.. changed my life.. I just worry something will happen to my little companions if I let them roam,I do take them out for play time/walks in the backyard so they're not stuck inside,cause I do feel bad about keeping them inside,but I can't protect them if I don't see them

    My kitties are very graceful, usually, and are excellent hunters. When I was a kid our family had a tomcat whose kittens were a mix of friendly and scaredy cats. The wild type cats were of Asian body type, although the sire was more like a British short-haired. They were definitely not happy around people, except for the food and warm digs.

    My white female did not get the memo that she was not a hunter. All of her life there would be snakes, rodents, frogs, and all sorts of creatures on my porch or even in the house if I opened the door unaware that she had some thing. She taught her children well because her grey son also hunted everything. When you have cats that Enjoy hunting and are great hunters it's a never ending life of praising them for their accomplishments. I did not get the white mother from anywhere in particular, she was in a box in front of a grocery store. I will say though, I lived in an area that was not heavily populated and the houses were very far apart. She was an indoor/outdoor cat who went out at night and always came back in the morning. In the winter she still wanted to go out at night and we were sometimes afraid for her because of the snowy and cold winters in upstate New York, but she was very smart and in winter she would not stay out too long. My grandmother also found a little black and white kitten who grew up to be a master hunter. She saw her cat on the lawn jumping straight up into the air very, very high and brought a bird down. My grandmother loved birds and she was brokenhearted but she could not bear to scold the cat she loved. She lived in residential Pennsylvania in a neighborhood where the houses had good room around them and the yards were large.

    Structured playtime at set times can help with this a lot (same with a scheduled mealtime). Also, you CAN harness train a cat or get a stroller for them. Or a cattio. They can still have supervised outdoor time even with FIV so long as you are careful. FIV doesn't need to be a death sentence, you just have to be hyper vigilant with their health and do everything you can to prevent them from being sick. Thank you for being responsible and keeping him indoor. . .both of our boys were strays we took in. . .one of them has FIV as well and it can be scary. . .but they can live just as long and fulfilled lives as any other cat.

    Keeping Cats indoors has extended their lifespans and improved health, but a compromise with a Catio to stimulate their senses and satisfy curiosity is a better compromise. I can’t afford a Catio so I have Bird feeders & Bird houses just outside my windows so they have essentially “Bird tv” that also attracts Squirrels. Some of my Cats have even developed playtime with curious Squirrels that come to the windows knowing the Cats can’t hurt them & learn to play games that stimulate both animals. I’ve lived 67 yrs with Cats & wouldn’t have it any other way. They all have different personalities and temperaments and I have often adopted whole families. Adopting families I’ve found that they maintain lifelong bonds with their siblings/MaMas and develope other bonds with no related Cats, but tend to be closest with their own relatives. I currently have Cats from 3 families. One isn’t related to anyone but is peacekeeper and moves between the others & is revered/loved by all the others. One that is related to 2 others but moves between families freely, and the others stick mostly to their own siblings. I have been rescuing & fostering Cats/Kittens for more than 50 yrs & wouldn’t have it any other way. I also provide food & shelter for neighborhood Cats that aren’t entirely feral, but choose not to be a stable resident of any one home, or ones that get out or are left out by their owners & need shelter/food temporarily. The benefits and pleasure of Cats company is something I find makes my Life worthwhile, especially in my aging yrs.♥️🐈‍⬛

I have photographs of them sleeping together in a pile. It was a lovely time. Now I have one cat only. He was feral, then lived in a warehouse by himself. He was brought to me and over a year or so he has become very tame and happy. He is attached to me as surely as any dog I have had. I do worry that he may be bored because he is kept indoors. The wild life around here could easily kill him. I find cats fascinating and endearing along with a certain pathos. I enjoyed this video very much.

    Even the mannerisms of lions, cougars and jaguars are all the same as housecats. If you know cats you can literally come upon a mountain lion and determine in short order whether you were truly in danger or not. The pre-hunting/strike movements are identical. Even lions as long as they're fed are just as sweet as housecats. They only become vicious when hunting because they have to be.
