Some cats can be protective of their owners. When I lived alone I had a small female cat that would sleep on my bed, but always snuggled beside me. One night she sat right on top of me all night and was awake. I couldn't figure it out. I got up to see if she wanted food and she didn't, went back to bed and she continued sitting on top of me all night, awake. It turned out we'd had a prowler trying to get into the house and I believe she sat on me to protect me and kept vigil all night long. There were large men's footsteps in the flower garden all around the perimeter of the house, so it appears he had been trying each window. He had also smashed a terracotta pot by putting his foot on it, for leverage as it appeared he was trying to open the ranchslider in the lounge (sliding doors) from the top somehow. This was the only night of my cats 15 years of life, that she ever sat on me like that while I slept.

I used to have a cat, and he would always give me the affectionate "love bite." I noticed that he would intentionally bite me with the back of his mouth, where he didn't have teeth so as to not hurt me. He would also vocalize when he wanted me to check out whatever he was looking at out the window, usually a bird or squirrel. One time, I heard him making a vocalization I had never heard before, it was something in between a growl, a yowl, and a meow. I went to check on him, but he was just lounging around, so I walked back. Then he started making that same strange noise again, and that's when I noticed he was sitting behind a running fan, so he was making different vocalizations into it because it made his voice sound robotic, exactly like a child would do.

She never bit us or fought other pets, only strays that overstayed their welcome. She passed away peacefully in the night in her favorite monopoly board game box and was buried with it in a small pinewood box

One of the most accurately done cat behavior videos I've seen. As a tip for cat biting, if play gets a little too aggressive, which it often will, and a bite legitimately hurts, just say ow firmly and stop playing. This is what cats do with each other. If it's too aggressive they make a pain noise and play stops. It teaches them the limits of play vs real fighting. Play can begin again fairly quickly or the cat may want a break. But this will teach your cat your limits with play biting.

Thank you for a great video! When my aunt's cat had kittens on July 4th, 2005, she had 3 white kittens & 1 black one. Both my boyfriend (at the time) and I immediately knew we wanted the black one. So I told my cousin that we'd like to meet them but already had our hearts set on the black one. My cousin told me "the black kitten is kinda sped, she doesn't meow or play much with the other kittens"... Fast forward to us bringing her home, and I swear she meowed for 2 weeks straight! We named her Marley & realized very quickly that she was an absolute sweetheart that had only been acting that way because of the environment she had been in. (That's a whole nother long story, but basically she had been kept in a small room with 7 other cats before we brought her home.) Marley ended up being one of the very best things to ever happen to me. She gave me nearly 18 years of the purest love, the bestest hugs & snuggles, the loudest purrs, and so much fun! She just passed away 2 weeks ago 😔 Marley was impossibly sweet, and by far the most loving little angel. I miss her. I miss hearing the sweetest meows & loudest purrs. I miss getting the most special hugs & the bestest snuggles every day. I just miss my girl.

I believe that some cats might sleep with you in attempts to make *you* feel safe and comfortable. When I was little, a family cat named Buddy was staying with my dad for a long extended time, and when I stayed over Buddy would sleep with me every single night. He’d come into my room and lay on my neck, wrapping himself around my head, purring away. He was the biggest sweetheart and lovebug of a cat I have ever met. I swear his eyes were almost always half closed.

This has been recorded a few decades ago when the research about mitochondrial function all ztarted, yah.

There is also a pH buffering agent occurring in we peoples, outside of the mitochondria, but still inside the cell.....the beta-alanine boosts the intracellular pH buffer carnosine. 3. In cats blood, there is bicarbonate that keeps blood slightly in the alkaline range, thereby supplementing the zodium bicarbonate delivers the bicarbonate for that. So, to be the superman of fat burning during endurance exercising (which most felines lack), it is a good idea to close the chain to keep the mitochondrial fat burning at optimal speed by supplementing sodium bicarbonate + beta-alanine + taurin.

I have 3 cats.

Second cat (6 yrs), is extremely fearful of outside world and not interested even looking out of windows, likes to pet but not on belly and likes to bite sometimes. We found her on the street pregnant, she had 4 babies that was with her (and us)almost a year before adoption and she is so grateful, you can see it from her behaviour. Third cat (3 yrs) is male used to be feral cat that I found in the middle of night, following me home so I took him. He was so crazy at the start, we were all afraid of him cause he was unpredictable. Now he is domestic cat, really nice, just needed some love. They are all sterilised and as we have a dog they all learn to come when we call their name, they can go out on the leash also. We found them on the streets, tried to find owners for months but was abandoned obviously, they all have chip now and we love them so much, our dog is happy to have them also.

I spent several days in bed, he never left my side. He would only get up to eat &.go to bathroom. He knew I was hurt, his love & loyalty was stronger than most humans show. He usually stays outside, but nothing was gonna keep him away from me. My husband actually tried to pick him up to get into bed, he growled at him. He had to sleep in our extra room.

Excessive vocalizing is definitely a sign something is wrong. I bought my cat the wrong kind of food and didn’t realize it until weeks later. Her behavior completely changed! She’d lurk around her food area, run into the kitchen whenever I would and meow NON-STOP. It was driving me nuts until one day in Petco, I realized I had bought the wrong Science Diet food the last time i was there. If you’re familiar with Science Diet, you know they have A LOT OF different formulations! I felt so bad. She was trying to tell me but I would’ve never figured it out unless I just happened to be in the store looking at the different foods and realized I hadn’t bought her the option for senior/indoor cats age 11 and up. Oh well lesson learned. Pay attention to your cat’s changed behavior.

Cats are just magical, my Baby is literally my emotional support! He comes meowing at me every time I accidentally hit my toe/hurt myself or I’m feeling down and emotional, he comes gives me head buds, rubs and cuddles with me to comfort me & since we moved in with my boyfriend, he’s been doing the same with him too! I had another cat that was the same way, I miss him dearly. When people say “I don’t like cats” it’s bc Clearly they have never owned one.

I’m happy to see that my kitties feel safe and content. One of them loves my mom, and the other loves me. When the one who loves me can’t find me, they sit at closed doors and meow. If I meow back they scratch the door so I let them in. If I don’t meow, they go to a different door and meow till they find me 🥰

I adopted an older cat that came from a neglectful home. For the first several years that I had her, she would come sit on my lap and purr like crazy while I pet her. Then, she would suddenly bite me and run away. She had trust issues, she was anxious, and had a terrible stress rash on her stomach most of the time. After those first few years, when she learned to trust us, all of those behavior stopped, and the rash went away. We were very patient and gentle with her at all times. We did not get angry when she bit because we knew she was just filled with anxiety. Toward the end of her life she trusted us completely. We could bathe her, clip her nails, clean her ears, hold her like a baby, whatever. Your cat may never get to be that trusting, or like that much attention, but be patient with them. You don't know why they're anxious, but just be gentle and treat them with respect.

My Phoebe, who lived until 17, started her decline by wondering around the house, sleeping on top of the bathroom sink. She never did that. And yowl out of no where. She had stopped eating, and that's when I knew. My little 9 pound kitten/cat was 4 lbs when I had her put down. She died over my shoulder, her favorite spot.

We once had a cat who would make a strange vocalization, like a fast series of 'k' sounds. Sometimes, we could do a few of these at her and get her going. I could never just rip out a line of them like she could, but a few k's off the back of my tongue, with my mouth open, as fast as I could would be enough to get her started. We'd have a short conversation like that, back and forth. So funny! And she never seemed stressed, or anything negative, really. She'd just have her little 'k' conversation, until she got satisfied (or bored) and rolled back over in a different napping position. Or walked away, regally. Having made her point.... 🤣

Very informative and well made video

The most sensible guide to cat behaviour I have viewed - spot on regarding all these behaviours.

People don't train cats. Cat's train people. My cats have me trained pretty well. I know exactly when they're hungry, want to go outside, want to be pet, don't want to be pet, or just want me to get up so they can sit in my spot. Every now and then they'll reward me by climbing on my lap and sticking their butt in my face. I freaking love kitties.

6:32 I've read that cats also knead when they are separated from their parents too early, due to death, or just by giving the kitty to another person when they're too young (a few weeks before born). That happens because the kitten didn't have time enough to knead its mother when young, so when the cat grows up, that good feeling of kneading its mother keeps in their memory, and they keep doing that even when they're adults. I live in Japan, and here, the law only allows people to sell a kitten after being 2 months with its parents (and brothers and sisters if born together), so they won't feel that lonely after being taken to a new home. (some breeders usually prefer to keep a little longer (like 3 to 4 months) to be sure that that kitten is also free of some kind of health issues) Due to that, it's hard to see cats kneading if you bought them from dedicated breeders.

@Tekdruid

Жыл бұрын

I've had cats knead regardless of age they were separated from mother. They just mimic childlike behaviour when they're feeling safe and comfortable. If they also nibble or suck on things like rugs or quilts while doing it then it may be a sign of early separation from momma cat.

My two kittens were (separately) rescued alone, very young, from side of roadways. I took them in to keep. They both kneed a lot. One also sucks at the blanket - the older one. The other was found 1 to 2 weeks old. Raised on a bottle. She kneeds and suckles a bunch. She seems to just still need the comfort or instinct.

Tysm for sharing ~ I needed current updates because it's been so long since I owned 1 kitten let alone 2 ❤❤

Our cat lost a leg (somehow) and since she recovered she's been good but very vocal, which I think is a sign of her being or feeling a bit vulnerable. She used to be quite quiet. She still terrorises the local rodent population, though.

The females in your house can eventually help her to enjoy their pets. Start with giving her a treat every time the female sees her. If not already doing it, the female should be the one to feed the cat. When the cat is close by, don’t make a fuss, just stay still. The cat will start to see female as safe and approach out of curiosity. Read/watch videos from Jackson Galaxy to learn specifics. Good luck!

My family always used to go to the mountains during Easter. Our cat would be fed and taken care of by a neighbour, who had other cats, and who was well acquainted with him and very nice. Every single time we got home, he'd had heard the specific sound of the car engine far away - lived in a valley - and gone to his "overlook" place. Then when the car pulled up the driveway, he'd come running down. Meowing and craving tons of cuddles and affection, then leading the way back up the path to our house. He was well taken care of while we were gone, however he'd always be so, so happy to see us when we got back. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but the point is that there's not a shadow of doubt anywhere in my mind that he loved us, and we loved him back.

Both come to cuddle with me every day, and at least once a week, our boy will come running to my room while yelling and just DIVE into my lap expecting pets. He is very, very insistent. He has this spot right at the base of his ear that he's crazy for having scratched. It makes him sound like an engine. His entire right ear, indeed, he just loves for me to touch. Scratching, petting, even lightly pulling on it. He goes nuts over it! He's such a precious boy. God, do I love him.

2:50 My dear Kitty was a feral rescued in at about 6 months. My next door neighbor (unbothered by it) even commented about Kitty's heat singing, how it would resonate through the immediate neighborhood! (She did have the spay, at about 1-1/2 years.) Her in-heat singing inspired an idea anyone with the unfixed cat, the equipment, and know-how is welcome to do: Record that mating song; run it through AutoTune (I'm told at full, even casual speech sounds sung), then add some Barry White-worthy background music!

I have a cat that licks and bites for a variety of reasons. I've been love bitten but she also has very firm boundaries. She loves attention but as soon as she's had enough she'll give a little nip to say, "Okay, that's enough." Then just sit on you for the company. This cat has also been blind since birth so she has no subtle body language so when she's had enough she goes right for the most obvious, "Knock it off." Signal. She's a good girl.

I'm convinced I taught my kitten how to kiss. Ever since he was weeks old I have been giving him non stop kisses all over his face. Now, he will climb on me and press his nose all over my face and kind of move his mouth around and purr. He's not rubbing his face on me like other cats do. I swear he's trying to give kisses!

this makes sense, i used to live with an old cat, and at night she would sneak under me and sleep there. Guess it was warm, but i was afraid of hurting her

I had a Tabby cat named Jojo when I was younger and that cat was my best friend. He and I would play this game where he would hide under my bed, and when I would slide my hand close enough, he would bat at it like he was trying to catch it! We would play that for hours! He also had a specific corner he loved on my bed and hated being apart from me. I miss him so much!

Thanks so much for sharing this with us, you're awesome!

When I was a child/teen, I had a bluepoint Siamese mix who was my soulmate. We seemed to know what each other was thinking.

They’re incredibly loyal animals. I still miss my Kitty who made her affection known for a little boy who took her in when I was homeless. When a Siamese loves you you know God does too

Hey Toni how are you doing today

The vocalization is one of their comunication techniques , they also use non- vocalization communications and you can use both to communicate with them .

Siamese have been my most protective. Had one when I was a kid that guarded me while I slept every night. Growl at anyone trying to enter my room. Parents included. Had two later that attacked my dad for "being funny" by trying to sneak on my mom with a ski mask on. Jumped on him and were trying to go for the throat. Chilled out once he spoke and took the mask off.

Love these vids. Just got my boy neutered and your videos helped me ensure his comfort. Thank you.

@@gamerrowedy6614 No he won't . They don't know what happened or what they're missing. All they know is that it's a bit tender back there. Usually lasts only for a day or two. I've had many cats fixed, and once the anesthesia wears off and they've had a good sleep, they're rarin' to go. (Jan Griffiths).

I have a cat that is around 14 now. He has always been cuddly and loving. In the past year or so, as he gets older, he had become much more clingy. He sleeps/lays on me frequently. He even sleeps on my pillow above my head and curls his body to fit me like a hat. My only issue is the claws and sometimes laying directly on my face. I can't breath. I love him so much and he is such a goober.

You shd be happy. I wish my cat (adopted in July of last ur She has bitten my hands and arms between 20 or more times. Twice deeply requiring an exam and antibiotics) . Of course I don't I'm now what her 1bub

When my cats pupils are dilated I know he’s in excited bounce off the walls mode and he’s about to be running around like crazy wanting to play lol

Cat owners have no say you do what your cat wants ya too 😁 I rescued my little princess who came out of the weeds in the country while my husband and I were cruising on some gravel roads. She has won is over and her 100 pound black lab brother. She is our little tuxedo kitty. I havent owned a cat in over twenty years due to being allergic, my husband has always been a dog dad but now he spoils her and loves on her more than all of us!! She is definitely what we all needed but we just didn’t know it ❤

My aunt had a white cat that would come into my room every night, and she would knead on my chest for a while before sleeping next to me. I always woke up with her next to me as well

We have a singing cat. EVERY night between 2230 to 0130 she sits on the footboard of the bed and tilts their head up (like a howling dog) and makes the real *long* and *really loud* singing. We know she's about to begin because just before she starts, she makes two very long loud intakes of breath then begins. She's done this every night for the past 15 years. No idea.

I know why they do that. It's a serious symptom in cats. The solution is to buy/adopt 3 more cats. You're welcome. Have a splendid day.
