I adopted a cat and realized everything I thought I knew about them was wrong. In this video, I'm sharing my whole journey from the first week to what I've learned, and how Bepo is doing now.

Part of the charm of cats is that you have to earn their love and trust; they’re not hardwired to please you like dogs are. So every moment they choose to snuggle with you or play with the toy you chose is special. Thanks for making sure Bepo has a loving home!

I'm so glad you gave Bepo a home! Senior cats (especially those with disabilities) usually are in the shelter for a long time, people are always looking for kittens which I can understand but senior cats are so much more chill!! You'll never have to deal with its rebellious teenage phase and just enjoy their chill calmness

Indeed, kittens & their antics are delightfully entertaining, fun, and heartwarming. As I myself age however, I am aware of my own ‘slowing down’ and heightened ‘chill’ desires. It now seems an older kitty and I could do well together……and we can watch videos of crazy kittens :)) This is the first time in 34 years I have not had a pair of kitties ~~ New Year 2024 seems primed for new feline home-buddies 😻

It's the same with dogs. Some people are treating their pets like fast fashion once the pets are old/sick/disabled or the people are too busy for pets. Many pets aren't going to stay cute forever.

You also don’t have to nail everything in the house down or pack up all your good dishes and breakable art, hide your jewelry, remember to not leave knives or anything else he could hurt himself with and, by the way, if you have blinds with hanging chords keep them securely coiled up and out of reach of your cat. They can easily get hung up while jumping down or playing with them, etc. Just happen to a friend. She lost her sweet boi-cat. Anyway, senior cats are GREAT cats to have.
It’s no surprise why Bepo chose you, you are a super adorable human that just radiates positive energy!

My heart just melts when I see things like this. I adopted a cat from a shelter in similar circumstances. She came from a hoarder house and is blind in one eye. I fell so in love with her that I just couldn't even fathom leaving without her.

I can tell you two are amazing pet owners from the fact he was making little biscuits on day 4! That’s a crazy fast time for a cat to warm up to a new home and family. Thank you guys for giving him a home, elderly cats are so often overlooked so it’s a beautiful thing to see one get a family 😸💖

One tip: since Bepo is a semi-long haired cat, you really need to make sure you brush him regularly so he doesn’t get all matted, it also slightly helps the inevitable cat fur all over everything :)

Agreed - especially as they get older and groom themselves less! I kept my cat's brush in the bathroom since he always liked hanging out with me in there when I'm on the golden throne. That way I always made time to brush him every day and he stopped getting matts. RIP my long-haired soul kitty.

It’s not always that someone is blind and uncaring. Don’t assume bad things about people. A lot of people need a pet that they have a chance of having a longer time with, and even though it’s never guaranteed that they won’t get sick along the way, not everyone can take on the true emotional challenge of adopting elder animals. We should encourage people to adopt whether they want a baby, a teen, an adult, or an elder.

Bepo definitely knew she was The One and made sure to get his scent all on her and show her that he will love her unconditionally. Sometimes it isn't that the people didn't pick Bepo but rather he wasn't really all that impressed with them and didn't do the affectionate display like at the beginning of the vid when she met him. I'm so glad Bepo has a loving home to live out his golden years!

She is always in my lap or laying next to me or "cleaning" me. She has always been by my side and helped me through tough times. I dred the day of losing my sweet Sofie, but enjoy every minute I have with her. Cats are the best. I like dogs as well I just can't have one here! Thank you for saving Beppo! High regards. Enjoy your life together❤❤
My cats actually motivate me to clean way more often than I would normally do because I can tell they hate mess and are uneasy in it. Also, they motivate me to have a regular sleep schedule, which is awesome for my wellbeing and productivity 💯

We adopted an older cat who was VERY friendly in the shelter, but then at home she hid for a while, just like Bepo, but then she came out of her shell. And she was a complete lover eventually. Also, please show Bepo the KZread channel called Kitten Academy because it is a great show for cats. Chris and Dr. DJ run the academy.
So sweet! Aren't you glad you were open to having your heart touched by this angel of a fur baby? You really lucked out with Beppo because not all cats are cuddly like he is.
The “cat distribution list” got you & the rest is history! What a heartwarming story. ❤

Me and my misses had the same thing happen to us , we saw a couple of posts of a shelter not to far from us here in belgium , there was a younger 2 year old cat that lost an eye , but it was a sweetheart , we couldn't resist our little pirate cat and took him home , they also said that nobody wanted him because of the eye
A little tip, don't give them bowls that are too high for their food, a lot of cats don't like that because of their whiskers. And also thank you for giving Bepo a home. ❤

I agree. I feed Furnando out of shallow bowls which are low to the ground and curved not square corners like a box. He does not like trying to lick food out of corners. Filling them more often gives me more control over his appetite and weight. I also add a few tooth cleaning treats to the bottom of every bowl.

Yes, in the wild they don’t eat out of containers so shallow saucers vs deep whisker (sensor) cramping bowls will fare much better.
My boyfriend and I were in the same boat as you and Kyle! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and love them so much, but always had a huge misconception about cats. My boyfriend has always dreamed of a dog, but the rental we moved into, cats were the only pets allowed. We gave the cat shelter a go because we 1. Wanted to give a cat a new lease on life, and 2. Thought maybe it would be easier to start with an adult cat. I thought it would be hard to choose one, but this sweet and affectionate black cat came up to us and we were also told he had trouble being adopted because he was black and 13 years old! :( It’s been 1.5 years now and Lucius is one of the best things that’s happened to us. You’re so right about all the misconceptions - cats are incredibly clean (cleaning themselves, low maintenance), can be so gentle and loving, and an amazing best friend. Ours is also very vocal and likes talking to us. Learning about cats has been such a cool experience and my opinion has forever changed about them! So happy that you guys now know cat love - I’ve heard from so many cat friends that you don’t choose the cat, the cat chooses you ❤

Older cats do not have to be litter trained or socialized which are benefits often overlooked. They are also less likely to be mischievous or hyper if you prefer a calm home.
Bepo is such a gift in your household. So happy for all 3 of you. Our family always have cats - no allergy issues with the young ones - and yes, the older cats are calmer in temperament & a lot more loving especially when they know they are now a part of the family. Always loved cats and will always love them - ALL.

This is so cute I love Bepo already 😭 It's so nice to see elderly cats being brought home from shelters. But one piece of advice I have is that when playing with the laser toy make sure to give him a treat at the end because I've heard that lasers can be very frustrating for cats since they aren't able to actually 'catch' the red dot. After playing with the laser you should let Bepo "catch" the dot which you have directed to the treat. It gives them a sense of catching pray and makes them less agitated! :)
One of the best things you had that allowed this to happen, was patience. You had the patience to allow Bepo the time he needed to adjust, and the patience to discover and mesh with Bepo's particular personality. Thank you for giving Bepo a home, and to give him all the love he deserves; as well as excepting all his quirks along with the endless love he gives in return.
Thank you for adopting him and giving him a good life ❤

I can only congratulate you on being openminded and adoting him with the understanding of cats you had before! Very happy for all of you, especially Bepo! Only one note: id recomend getting a lower bowl for feeding him because a cats whiskers are very sensitive and they usually prefer to eat from a dish without touching it with whiskers :)
This video made me so happy
what a sweet person you are i hope bepo lives happily with you
2:12 he's making biscuits, my heart 😩❤️
Older cats and kittens always provided me with emotional and physical therapy. When we pet or stroke a cat, it causes a release of oxytocin in both humans and our animal companions, which can also reduce pain. Thanks for giving him a chance. People don't know what they're missing.
He's beautiful and you've both done really well to make him feel safe and loved

I could not decide on what cat to adopt at the shelter for a birthday present for myself. Like others my beloved kitty died years before and I stayed alone. As I was leaving to "sleep" on a decision, a paw came out of the cage and grabbed onto my sweater. Thats it, she picked me. So happy with my new little one, Louie Bell. So spoiled too.
OMG, you all are too adorable, and the genuine love you have shown for your furbaby is simply beautiful. You are all so lucky to share such a magnificent bond.
