Brad L. I am so sorry that you lost your fur baby!!😢😢 I have been in your position before, it will get better with time. 🐱 It took me 4 years before I got my next set of fur babies.......... However, it took me about 6 months to fully get over their passing; it's only that I waited four years because I also lost both of my parents. I would have gotten my new fur babies sooner, however losing my babies and my parents relatively close together sent me into a very deep depression. Once I was over the depression, then I got my new fur babies. May I say now that we are one big happy family. I love my fur babies so much, we are inseparable. 🐱🐈🐾🐾🐾🐾♥️♥️

@@ninij9692 I've never met a cat who doesn't enjoy a good nip! Ours like it mixed with Silvervine.

I'll add a 7th situation to use the jackpot treat (and two reasons why you should try to make it something thin and liquidy like Churu tubes, if you can influence your cat's choice at all): illness or injury Example #1: my cat is sick and has labored breathing right now (vet appt in the morning, don't worry). She had to be coaxed into 3 out of 4 meals today, and refused the fourth. She won't even take broth, so it's not just about avoiding solids, she just WILL NOT EAT... except for tubes of Churu. She is keyed into that specific treat as The Best Thing That Exists. Under normal circumstances, she loses her mind if she just hears us open the cat-proof jar where we keep them. Now, even when she's exhausted and has no appetite or sense of smell and everything aches, her automatic excitement when she sees the treat coming is enough to get her to perk up and eat two back-to-back, which gets a few calories and some much-needed hydration into her, and also restores her morale for a bit. Since it's a real thin puree, she can swallow it even with her sore throat. Example #2: this spring, we were at a vet clinic and sharing the waiting room with a woman who'd found her cat with a big injury on one back leg, probably an animal attack. She'd brought him to the vet clinic, but because it's literally the only vet with emergency walk-ins on weekends in this half of the state, they're swamped and have 3-5 hour waits. She'd driven miles and then been sitting for hours with her poor cat lying on a towel in a cardboard box, barely responsive, unable to move enough to eat or drink and not interested in food or water anyway. She was near tears and clearly bracing for the worst. We had multiple backup tubes of Churu with us, because we use them to distract from fear/discomfort in the car and in the vet's office. We asked the lady if she would like to offer one to her cat, since he wouldn't have to move at all to eat it. She didn't think anything would happen, but gave it a shot. It took him a sec to focus and react once she held the open tube in front of his nose, but after a couple weak sniffs, he started to sloooowly lap it up. It was good for the cat, but it was also the glimmer of hope that the owner desperately needed. Even if there was nothing she could do and she might just be waiting for the vet to recommend euthanasia, she could at least give him something nice. He finished the whole thing over the next few minutes, and about 20 minutes later, they were called back. (We ran into her again when we were checking out, and the news was good-the vet expected him to pull through and recover.)

In fact he was trying to jump up to get it and almost ripped it out of my fingers. He ate raw liver over next few days, regained some strength and was back to eating regular food. I believe she saved my cat’s life.

100% I actually saved my moms dogs life with those. She got into poision or something. Foaming out the mouth. No eating for 5 days. Only drinking lots of water, thank god. The vet wanted 5G which my mom has already spent 5G on her due to a dog attack and there were no promises at all with the 5G. We get safe pest control. No idea what happened but I thought to get those. Her dog is beyond spoiled. Hardly ever will touch dog food. Not even a small bag a year but loves to get into dry or wet cat food cause I have cats. It worked!!

Really great, much needed advice. Food IS everything to cats. Every morning, when I lean down to put food on my cat's plate, he kinda stands on his hind legs & briefly nuzzles my cheek with his nose. As though to say "thank you!" It's very sweet & feels almost maternal. But when I break routine & don't feed him by 8am, all Hell breaks loose. Then it's, "You're the WORST human, EVER!!

Try indulging him when he asks by using a treat dispenser toy. Often cats beg for food because they're bored, so offering food as play will help to satisfy his "hunt, catch, kill, eat" instincts. They sell a few at pet stores but there are also nice ones you can find online. Puzzle feeders are good too. You could also offer him every meal (if you give dry food) in "Doc and Phoebe's Indoor Hunting Cat Feeder."

If the cat is that violent then it may just be a lost cause. You may have to actually intimidate and be aggressive with that terrible cat . If you're unable to train your overly aggressive cat and you're training it properly and it's still being aggressive, then you should just put it down. My cat was very agressive as a kitten. Just a little bit of giving back a lil guff let it know when it was going to far, now he's gentle as an adult. I met a cat at a person's house that would literally attempt to trap you in a room and attack you viciously , even if you tryed to use non aggressive cat body language. This thing was seriously dangerous and took the whole tip of a sock off in one swipe from under a door. That cat is even aggressive to its owners. It's so far gone and dominant that you would literally have to kill it if it attacked you .

I think the general idea I collect from watching these videos is identify what piss them off (eg: neighbor cat keep walking near the window or loud car passing around, moving house, other animal/person), identify where they are pissed off to see if something offending them there, check if they are actually in pain, and playtime everyday. If all done for two weeks and no improvements, the cat might have mental issue and need some calming medicine. JG channel helps to find out in depth info, but if you hasn't, also check cats from hell in case you find similar case like yours. This is assuming the cat isn't wild breed or born stray, those afaik are harder. I hope this comment help you finding those videos , good luck with the cat! :)

Hey! Yikes @ ccv jd. I know you're probably not taking our random advice / may already know buuuuut if you want to keep reading, here's me channeling JG: First thing to do is get the cat thoroughly checked out by a vet. Maybe you did that when he was neutered, but there may have been other issues the vet was not looking for at the time. Even if it's not medical, the vet may suggest the next steps for behavioral interventions. Next - hone in on whether it's play or real aggression. When he's getting your legs, are his ears perked up, does he seem alert, does he jump around and swipe at you? That's play, and Jackson's remedy is the "hunt, catch, kill, eat, groom, sleep" method. That's when you structure the cat's play/food/sleep cycle to wear them out, reward them with food, let 'em rest. But alternatively, if he's slinking around the house, ears flat against his skull, darting around, hiding all the time, hissing or yowling at you? That's actual aggression, and some of it may never go away if he wasn't raised with humans. But you can help the situation, like Amethyst Orchard mentioned, by changing the housing environment to make the cat more comfortable (or give him "mojo".) That includes- removing threats to his territory, eg separating him from other animals; giving him places to climb up or explore that are safe, so he can get used to the home without needing to interact yet; considering the use of pheromone diffusers made for cats; giving him specially-designated "scent soakers," like a specific cat bed or fleece blanket, so he can start smelling himself around his new home. Avoid other strong scents in the home, like essential oil diffusers, which are bad for cats. Some cats really do need kitty Prozac but more often, it's an issue of their home not adjusting to the cat's needs yet. I have gone to the ER thanks to handling a cat who was not comfy yet (and it was my mistake, I knew he didn't want to be picked up but I needed to move him and didn't take the time to do it a slower way)... so in my opinion, if all you need are bandaids, the cat is probably not an aggressive evil cat who's a lost cause :P (That cat is now much more comfortable and sweet. I still keep my distance if he looks annoyed lol.)

I have three kitties (two sibs, bro & sis) and 1 feral (boy) born in my shed along with his two sisters. The brother (BoBo) and sister (Sissy) I got at 6 weeks old. The feral boy (Jackson) came into the house at about 3 to 4 months old. BoBo and Sissy I gave treats to when they started eating dry food along with their wet food. They take it from my hand and I can place it in their mouths. Jackson, however, I have to throw for him and he "chases" it and eats it. I can't seem to get him to let me put it in his mouth. He will eat treats out of my open palms, though. I now have to place the treats into Sissy's mouth as she lounges on the floor at my feet. BoBo takes it either way, from my hand or thrown, like Jackson does. I tell my two kitties, "look at Jackson. This is a kitty that knew hunger. You two, who have NEVER knew a day of hunger in your life expect me to drop your treats into your mouth like you're some pampered pasha." Of course, I'M the one who is being "trained" here.

I make my cats sit for treats and they gotta give me a “boop” too. I do free feed my cats but very, very little dry food just so they know that the wet food is a treat. My cats listen when I tell them to go drink water after treats too, and they do. 🥰🐈‍⬛🐈

I started out playing with them when he wasn't hinge so Angus works be more secure. After 2 days of that I handed it off to my hubby and Angus didn't ruin. He's able to get him to play. He played with the 4 of them for about 45 minutes first try. Today I was laying on the bed crocheting and watching TV, 2 cars were in the bed, my hubby was laying next to me playing a game on his tablet and miracles... Angus got on the bed, saw my husband and didn't run! He even stayed calm and shifted his hand. He lasted maybe 5 minutes, but it was amazing. It's taken months to get to this place. Hopefully, now Angus will stop pulling his hair out. If not, well get with the vet, but I'm hoping this will help. Thank you so much for these videos.

These videos are so informative and helpful. We were able to get cat used to his carrier by placing dry food and treats in it occasionally to reward him. He doesn't get scared and hops right in for vet visits. :)

Thank you Jackson! I loved this vídeo! 🐈🐈🐈

Me too.

Hadn’t seen this video before I had to introduce my little singleton foster kitten to his new big sister (of about 3 weeks😉). I used his Nulo treats to get them together without his hissing, it worked fantastic! Now they snuggle all the time curled up together. Wish I had seen it earlier, but now I know I did the right thing and that makes me feel a whole bunch better. Thanks Jackson! Oh and btw that little kitten loved your videos he would watch yours and “the kitten lady’s" videos all the way through, lol. Thanks for that too.

Thank you this has been very helpful!!! Love these videos they have been a great help for me since I have been a new cat owner

Thanks very helpful information.

I always let kids give treats to my cat. Has made him like kids a lot, He's not scared to meet new people.

Thank you for this…it helped SO much!!!

Thank you so much for all the advice! I have 2 cats that don't get along, we built a cat gate/door to separate the 2, we are working on having them get along.

Curious on how it's going. We've reached the 6 month mark but had to regress back to feeding by the door after getting all the way to joint play time with no barriers.

love your videos Jackson!

I free fed my cat dry food for about the first six years I had her and she NEVER developed a weight issue. She's as light as the proverbial feather. Now, for the past couple of years, per Jackson's recommendation, I've been feeding her wet food, and, of course, she LOVES it! (Gracie's EXTREMELY food motivated which is why, when I eat, I have to lock her in the bathroom so I can eat in peace!) I usually get her the Friskies Chicken Lover's variety pack because she loves poultry, but, with the current canned cat food shortage, I can't always find that at Walmart, so I recently had to get the Friskies seafood variety pack, and I think she loves that even more. She'll even jump into the wastebasket to lick the empty cans and, she's such a featherweight, she doesn't even tip the can over.

I watch vancouver vet and he explains except if the cat have traumatic experience with starvation, they know how to self-regulate on food when they get a little fatter. But also, from cat from hell video I learn that cat that being fed too much carb would keep eating because they are looking for the protein.

Thaaaaaannnnnk you, Jackson❣️❣️❣️ we really needed this. You Rock❤️❤️👏🌈⭐️⭐️

This made me laugh so much. Either I'm silly or Jackson is funny, or I just like Jackson and his videos. Useful and full of great tips as ever. Thank you!

People always learn more when they're having fun. The teachers I remember best as a kid were the ones that had fun with us. I use the same tactic at the cat shelter where I volunteer.

If I could give this video a thousand likes I would! Thanks Jackson for this video!

I’m excited! 😊

The noise he made when the dog eats treats 😂 got me

well thank you for this Jackson. this will defiantly help in my college class. I am studding to be a cat trainer, I'm in rolled in Animal Behavior College, or ABC. and this will defiantly help when i go into the field for my volunteer part.

The squeezey paste treats are absolutely the jackpot treats for my cat, he adores them but I think that’s because he doesn’t have them very often as I keep them for specific new trick training days or vet trips. I do use dreamies when we are out for a walk with him though as they are easier to carry and so he now is really happy to put his harness on and head out because of the association.

My female cat use to snap at my husband swat at him hiss at him.i started having my husband give just 3 treats small one at 4pm when he gets home and 3 at bedtime. She now loves my husband and he gets up and she follows him around best of all he can pet her and shes happy to have him pet her,its so great

For my boy, the jackpot treats are dried minnows or liver bits. The Trader Joe's turkey treats (yeah, probably considered "junky"), I use those for getting him to run after them when I toss them. He's pretty lazy, so it gets him moving.

My food driven boy will eat the minnows, loves freeze dried chicken, but freeze dried tuna and crab are the BIG TIME treat. They look, feel and sound like packing peanuts... not at all appetizing to my human 👀. Mostly air tho, so at least it's less calories for him? 🤣🤷‍♀️

I recently dicover your videos and it's really interesting :) I order your book, I can't wait! Thanks for all you are doing for a better understanding of cats!

Hi! I absolutely love your videos! I just saved a kitten from the street and I know nothing about it, so thank you for all the info. I have been watching a couple of videos all night lol and I will like to watch one in how much and when to feed your kitty. Please guide me to the right video, I know you have one! Thank you!!

My cat Duncan loves his temptations treats. He will beg for them.

Thank you for this video💜💜💜 very useful 👍

Hi Jackson Galaxy, I love the advice you give and it has been extremely helpful. A video on how to create a rhythm and ritual for our cats will be helpful as even though I have transitioned my card from free feeding to fixed times she still manages to change her rhythm everyday of eating, sleeping etc and now she remains awake for most of the night. Much appreciation all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦

My 6 cats are on a complete routine. Even sleeping. I guess I got lucky.

Great info thanks 👍

I only have a small bowl of dry biscuits for them to eat if hungry. Wet food portions for meal time (meat like chicken/mince at least twice a week - which is jackpot treat food) I hide the little bite treats around the living area for them to hunt and find Including the carrier so they think its an extra sleeping spot. Tuna is my go to for encouraging new processes and meeting new people etc. Both cats get exercise and individual play time so neither are fat or unhealthy with these methods. 😊

I love to do the clicker thingy with my cat. I also like to have a popsicle or something myself. Even though I still haven’t figured out how to do tricks it’s still a special bonding moment for us

Thank you Jackson!!!

Thank you so much for your videos. I want to register my cat bear as an emotional sport pet for myself. This will enrich both our lives. With that I know there is some training that she needs further than I know how to do on my own, like leash training And introducing her to other animals and people and your videos will be a huge help in that.

Yay a new vid is out

One of my cats is food motivated but the second one is definitely more play motivated. Her 'jackpot treat' is me swinging anything on a string.

I love Jackson always as much as i love cats

Brilliant!!!!

I love you Jackson Galaxy 😊 I’m so glad that I can watch you on KZread, it’s much better than tv (although your tv show is also very good)

I’m so happy I saw this video. My cat loves those soft treats. And I save it one a day to reward him. I let him out in the back yard with me and when he tries to aim at a fence I speak softly to him singing nooooo that’s scary over there for some reason he listens. And if I see him stalk a bird in a tree in the yard again I say “there’s no need you’re well fed come on” and it’s weird but he listens. So when our time in the garden is up. I bring out his treat and he melts. He licks it from my finger then I coax him to the enclosure again and I put the rest in his bowl. He’s then satisfied. I’m so glad it’s ok to bribe him. Thank you Jackson 😻

Thank you very much

Love you Jackson ❤

You're so funny man. I love the way you explain stuff and I'm so glad I found your chanel. It is a treasure trove of kitty wisdom. 😺

I’d love a short video about proper sizing/fit and placement of collars and harnesses for my kitty. She’s tiny but fully grown and I have a hard time finding a harness that fits her and she’s still wearing her kitten collar.

When I got my wallflower cat (7weeks ago), I got closer to her by feeding her kibble. I made a trail from where she was hiding, to me. Within one week she was on the sofa! (Still she’s scared: so I still do it many times).

I have a question though. Why not kibble? Why those treats? Maybe cause if she’s full, she won’t come otherwise? (Cause my cat seems to love its kibble).

Great video!!👍👍

Jackson's beard is really coming in! He almost looks *more* artsy 🎨

Amazing video!

Great video.

My cats eat freely, go in and out, come when called, stay fit, also they get both dry & wet etc. :)

How do you train them to come in when called?

My cat goes thru fluids every morning and I would be lost without his treats. Keeps him calm. The only issue now is he wants to rise and shine earlier and earlier. But that’s a small price to pay to keep him comfy in his senior years.

Our youngest cat's jackpot treat is mango. She adores her wet tuna slurry tubes, for sure. but when you open a mango pudding cup she will RUIN you if you do not let her lick the remains out of the bottom. It is her universe. little mango chunk left behind? Even BETTER! our older cat doesn't give two shits about treats. her jackpot is her brush. She lives for attention and grooming so we started training her with brushes for rewards.

my cats live in great harmony and love any treat given haha

I taught the cat a few tricks. I recommend sit. very useful at the vet.

my cat gets so aggressive when I give her treats, i can’t imagine training her because she goes wild. She will grab those meat purée tubes right out of my hand. They did really help with getting her to like her carrier though... because she could grab them to chew on in her carrier bed.

SO I switched from the dry treats to the mouse....my three cats love it....I call it cat crack because they go crazy for it....and the cat jerkey is helping me switch from fry food to wet...mine just dont like wet food.....working on getting them off the free feeding!

I agree. Bribery can be great

I am literally binge watching you’re entire channel right now. Lol. I’m always trying to come up with ways to make my 3 female cats happier. Thank you so much. Are you single ?

I’ve trained my cat into sitting on me when I give him treats so when he sees I have treats he directly goes over to sit on my lap/chest Also we “clicker” trained him into when we make click sounds with out mouth he will come home/to us so he can get food, so he playes outside alll day and then when we call for dinner he comes home and sleeps through the night

Did you find making your own click sounds so effective that an actual clicker wouldn't be needed? I wondered about that

I had no idea you made these videos, bravo 👏, you really are amazing to share these videos and help us less educated pet owners. I am deployed and going home soon. To the cat I started to bond with because my brother abandoned him. My concern is he won’t want to deal with me when I get home. He hasn’t bonded with either of my parents either while I’ve been gone. Can you give me a way to show him he can trust me?
