I call cat paralysis; cat-lap-a-nap-a-dosis… (sounds kind of like a Latin medical term) and I try to convince my manager it’s a valid reason for calling out of work!

hahahahahaha wait a second, if your manager doesn't support your innitiative, you gotta change jobs! haha

One thing I try and do, when holding my cat, is let her feel supported (she knows I'm not going to drop her), but not restricted. So she feels like she has authority and isn't restricted. One cuddle "destroyer" is a particular blanket I like putting on my bed. Usually, at night, my cat jumps on the bed, I lift the covers and she comes under and curls up against my belly, purring contentedly. However, the texture of this one blanket (like mohair), stops her in her tracks. She instantly has to start making biscuits and totally forgets about me!🤷🏻‍♀️😄

My cat is often very cuddly which I love 💜 it's really funny sometimes though because he doesn't seem to be a fan of lying on me when my legs are bare so he will often stare at me until I put a blanket or cushion on my legs for him to lie on 😂 he's often rather impatient when I pick the blanket up and won't even wait for me to sort the blanket how I want it 😂

My cat trusts me and I trust her, and in turn I get cuddles quite often. But sometimes when I want to cuddle her and she doesn’t, I’ll gently force her into some cuddles for a minute or two, and I jokingly call it “paying rent” 😅

Got my bengal from the local shelter two weeks ago and she's probably still settling in, but she'll only come to me for cuddles.. She does not like being approached or picked up.. She also does biscuits with claws and if I touch her too much during cuddled, she will eat me alive.. But she will lie next to me or on top of me in bed all the time.. And then always in the most inconvenient places, like splat middle of my bed or right where I usual keep my legs..

I know this is off subject but i was wondering what are your thoughts on Mia being a one household cat. I heard that Bengals do better with another cat as a companion/playmate. I will be getting my bengal kitten in 8 weeks. She will be an only cat for now. I am considering a second bengal down the road. Also i am always home and have plenty of time to bond with my kitten.

Thank you for sharing this video and helping people to understand how they can support their cats 😻#givingcatsavoice

That's such a good question. It's not a cat reason... it's a human (selfish) reason. I travel by plane a lot. I live far from home and I go visit often. Having one cat allows me to take her with me. With 2 I couldn't.

@OutdoorBengal

9 ай бұрын

There are a couple things you can do if you want to train your kittens together: 1) Use a different clicker sound (so that they don't confuse their "click" with their siblings) 2) Teach them different tricks (so they don't both do the trick at the same time) The other alternative, is locking one cat at a time. You can lock yourself with the cat you are training instead of the cat that it's not trained. That makes the experience for the cat that's alone nicer.

Hi Albert, are you still feeding Mia raw? I tried, but my cat stubbornly refused.

@OutdoorBengal

9 ай бұрын

Yes! The transition can sometimes be hard. Kibble is the "junk food" in the pets realm and it's tasty and crunchy and with a ton of aroma... it's hard to compete against that with natural products. The transition has to be slow and using both products simultaneously, phasing out the kibble slowly.

Quick question from a new cat owner: from what age/months should one starts to train and teach tricks to one's cat? Mine is already 4 months old. Is it too early? Is it the perfect time? Thank you 😊😸

I started training Mia when she was 12weeks old. I started with some easy tricks like come when called and finger targetting and got to more complex tricks once she was comfortable with those. You can find more about it in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i6yspdOtepyZqrg.html
