I went for a 21K hike... got home with a kitten

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

This was meant as a companion video to hike No. 7 (this used to be a hiking channel). It features a slightly extended version of the encounter with the kitten (I ended up using way more of it in the episode than originally intended). Additionally we check out briefly how the little cat is doing over the next several weeks.
Check out the hike itself to find out what I've been through. At the end of the day my watch was showing over 30K hiked (30 km == 18.6 miles). My ability to handle this pure cuteness was greatly limited, I was physically exhausted, never had a chance.

    Many of you are still asking about different things, so I'll try to answer the most frequent questions here: [1] How did I name him? Taz (like the Tasmanian Devil). [2] Did I check if there are more kittens under the bridge? I didn't check but Taz and I were there for good 30 min making a lot of noise. If there were any more kittens, for sure they were going to come out eventually too. Taz came along later very easily, way too easily. I don't think he was going to leave behind so easily other kitten/kittens. He must have been alone there. [3] Why did I have cat treats with me? I carry dog and cat treats with me on these hikes as part of my usual equipment. I had some very serious encounters with barking dogs, so I use the treats to bribe such beasts. But sometimes I will meet sweets cats or dogs too, and I would offer them the treats if not already used on barking dogs. [4] What is 21K? 21K is 21 kilometers (21 km). That's the distance of a half-marathon. 21 km is equal to 13 miles. [5] Did I really hike 21 km that day? No, I actually hiked around 27-28 km (around 17 miles). The river itself had the length of 21 km, but I had to reach the place where it breaks ground first, which was about 6 km. [6] Where is this, what country? It's in Europe, the Balkans. Which country exactly is not that important, I would like to hike all over Europe anyway. [7] Why did I hesitate so much? What's wrong with me? Well, keep in mind that I just hiked 27-28 km (17 miles) before little Taz decided to "attack" me with all the cuteness. I was beyond tired at that moment. I couldn't think straight, probably couldn't think at all. Yes, he was little but not a helpless few days old kitten lets say, and he looked healthy and uninjured. Yes, he was very hungry, but somehow it didn't feel like a life-and-death kind of situation. Or I wasn't reading it correctly. Again, I couldn't even think, I was very tired. [8] Why not simply take him to a shelter? Did I really consider leaving him? To be honest it didn't even cross my mind that this is an option. I think shelters over here have a real bad reputation and many people would even prefer to simply abandon their pets than take them to a shelter, in a way the pet will have the better chances out there than in a shelter. I don't know, it's a complex topic. But back then I felt like really having only two options: either I leave him, or take him with me to be my cat. [9] You staged the whole thing! That was already your cat! Not really a question, but I will answer it anyway. No, I didn't stage it. I am not that smart (or stupid) to do something like that. What you see is what happened. My camera was already on, so I simply kept filming. If all that was to happen off camera, I was probably not even going to turn it on. [10] Did I really try to run away from Taz? I was kind of running out of ideas what to do, so I eventually did try to simply run away too. But not once, I tried it three times. The first two tries Taz was surprisingly more than able to keep up with me and didn't work at all. The third time he stayed a little bit behind and if I was to keep running, I was going to be free. But I stopped myself and went back to him. That's when I finally decided he is coming with me for good. All that was before we were walking to the car (7:07). What I said that I couldn't run away from him is true both figuratively and literally I guess.

If he enjoys the hike, we'll do many more.

    You came along at the right time! That kitten was so happy to see you and get those treats! That's a smart thing to bring those dogs snacks along on your hikes so dogs don't hurt you. Aww, that poor kitty is crying out - Don't leave me here! I'm starving and I'm all alone! I wonder where its mother went? That's crazy! So glad you took that kitty home. That would've broken my heart if you left that kitten out in the woods to starve to death. You gave it a good home. So glad to see it playing and that you love him. That's great! You're a good man!

    @@--Taz-- He is either a stray or someone dumped him, no way he's feral. But he chose you, that's what cats do, and I'm willing to bet with the right training, you may have just found yourself a good hiking buddy. Beautiful coat too. But do read up on the problems with feeding dry food to male cats. There is the high potential for very serious urinary track problems. Some (not all) cats won't go to the water bowl often enough, and the best way to fix that problem is wet food. Best of luck with your new family member, this little guy seems quite sweet.

    To all the people allaging that this is staged: This is one of the rare animal rescue video where I'm pretty confident that it isn't staged. Usually in the staged videos the animals are dirtied up, to make the rescue extra dramatic. This little fellow looks pretty well put together. Also cats don't scream at you like this to "please don't leave me!" if they already know and trust you.

    I wonder if that tiny little desperate mite didn't stray by accident from his Mother playing maybe she was feral/stray, and then he obviously got lost for a long time maybe a few days? Defending his tender body from foxes, much bigger wild cats, foxes, birds of prey for starters, not to mention vehicles from nearby village! Or perhaps the barely weened then tiny little kitten slipped out of someone's carrier basket by accident? Never to see his siblings again!? Sad. They make a cool interspecies pair I agree time for adventures with harness video series wild camping together? Back out on trail to explore under the mysterious bridge and from whence he came (not my theory) intrepid river he was supposed to get knotted in! Thank God he didn't fall down there when kicked!!!!Rattlesnakes and Cayote?! No wonder the tiny defenseless lone kitten was screaming and gripping onto this guy with every ounce of strength it had left in it's fragile weak body, begging him to save it! Thank you for doing the right thing man!

    I too didn’t want or have time for a cat. Instead, I found a 4 week old kitten with a broken jaw, broken tail and a crushed vocal box in an alley. Never thought she’d survive the night. But if she did I’d take her to the vet. Four years later, as I type this she’s sitting at my feet. Follows me around the house, wherever I go. It’s a nice feeling doing something you really don’t want to do and then being rewarded for it day after day.

    You’re a hero man. I remember picking up my kitten after work, blind little thing had her eyes crusted over just sitting in front of my car. I couldn’t just let her sit there, probably wouldn’t have lasted the night. Didn’t even know if could really take her in. Genuinely thought she died on the car ride home. Had to syringe feed her for weeks. I can happily say the little bandit made a full recovery and is one my biggest joys daily. May only have one eye but lord is she feisty.

While they do have rights when it pertains to us, animals in nature have no rights other than the right to protect themselves. So to us yes they are sort of like people, but also they aren't people at all. I just see them like more like children/babies personally. I talk to them like people just like I talk to children like normal people. There's nothing they love more than love and respect. Even to the point they understand us far more than we realize they do, if you talk to your cat your cat knows bits and pieces of what your saying.

    @Arynn A year ago I adopted a lone kitten two town workers found. He was sleeping under the rain on the edge of a field. He was famished but way too clean, no fleas, no worms, nothing, he was super healthy. I'm pretty sure he lived inside with his mum and that he was dumped. He was only one month old, I was so mad. I have another one who was the last one from a litter and the owner couldn't find someone to take him so she just put him in her backyard 24/7 I don't understand people.

    I foster kittens and I am always moved by people that adopt strays. My guess is that this kitten was 5.5 weeks old and likely dumped by someone. Normally at this age, they would not approach a human unless they have had interaction with humans. My previous batch to the last was 4 about 5 week old kittens and they were semi-feral. They would hide under furniture. It took a week for them to become comfortable. By the time they went to their forever homes at 9 weeks, they were as sweet as kittens get.

    Having seen a bit more videos on cat behavior follow "Flatbush Cats" this cat did not just purr because it got good vibes. Cats cannot sense if someone is a good person. But Cats are very observant to the way people speak and move. So lets analyze the cat in the video: 1. Cat is very young 2. Cat is very hungry 3. Cat is very used to human contact This one was probably bought from another person or gotten from a shelter and soon after abandoned. It was probably fed for a few weeks or months by their new owners which is where it learned that the food came primarily from humans. Which is why it begged the KZreadr for food when they met and devoured it shortly after. It didnt know how to even hunt cause its a housecat. And all the above means it is already very used to human contact so spotting a human it immediately goes up to them cause "Hey I know that thing" probably still not understanding that it was abandoned cause its too young.
