It's pretty obvious: I get up from my desk to get a drink or whatever, and he rolls over in his bed and strikes a "ohhhh I am soooooo cute you just have to come over here and pet me for a moment" pose, complete with a few slow blinks in my direction ;) It really is an invitation, and I usually oblige him. Then I go get my drink and he goes back to sleep.

My cat is blind and deaf. When I pet him, he probably thinks, "Dang it, it's the giant noisy claw thing AGAIN!"

Great video! Very informative and not too long or too much info for my ADHD brain!

I have had cats for 4 decades and all loved lots of cuddling and petting, until Argyle the Maine Coon. Jackson, your videos have been essential. Argyle's nervous system is finely tuned such that that the slightest action on my part has a big impact on him. The finger-nose, which initially felt like deprivation, was received with purring, soft curl at the end of his tail, and rolling onto his back and exposing his tummy. He was so cute! I had to discipline myself not to do a big cuddle and instead 1) touch only his nose 2) talk softly and slowly. He loves it! Less is more.

actually no, it's not common knowledge that cats like belly rubs. Many cats dislike belly rubs, unlike dogs. A cat rolling over to expose its belly means it trusts you because it's exposing it's most sensitive part, if you pet them there they can see it as an attack

This is such good advice. My favorite technique is to just start gently scratching my cat somewhere on his head, then I leave my hand in the same spot with my fingers making the scratching motion, and he moves his head around to get the scritches where he wants them. And no matter how you do it, as Jackson says, watching their body language is absolutely key. If you pay even the least amount of attention, you will never face a "surprise" attack again.

The ‘MichaelAngelo finger pointing’ at my cat changed my life thank you lol. Thought my cat had a three pat tolerance haha now she adores the gentle concentrated affection from just simple head scratches and head strokes. She’ll never be a lap cat but my ‘slow blink’ at her which I also learned from you is our telepathic ‘I love you’ hehehe 😽💗

Dude as someone with anxiety and ADHD, you just described what overstimulation feels like almost perfectly! I’ll add that all inputs (sights sounds etc) can also become jarring and even painful, and anything even close to touching you can start feeling clausterphobic, even your own body hairs. “Static buildup” describes that “trapped in your own skin” feeling perfectly omg! I’m a lot better than I used to be as a kid and teen about respecting cats’ cuddle limits, and my current kitty really loves snuggling and being pet, but she and I are still working on communicating about her stopping point. She’s really sweet and patient, so with petting to long, the only thing other than a “claws in” warning smack I’ve gotten is a “I’m gonna bite ya, move bitch!” Threat that results in a slow non- skin breaking bite if I don’t listen to her fast enough. Like a mama would give a kitten. I do my best to notice when she’s had enough before then, but if I miss that point or come back too soon after stopping there, the “final warnings” she gives definitely makes it clear she’s done. I respect the hell out of her patience, and I’m trying to make sure I respect her boundaries better.

@pyro-millie5533

8 ай бұрын

To add to this, my cat flicks her tail when she’s calm and content, and happy to have someone nearby, like a dog does. I know of a single other cat who has this “backward” tail behavior. So sometimes its hard to tell that apart from the warning tail swish until its too late. She lets me play with her tail like a fuzzy fidget toy when she’s relaxed too, so really the only warning she gives me with it is if she starts pulling it away if I try to pet it. Sometimes really subtle ear flicks, paired with a slightly sour “mrrrrrow” but rarely ever traditional “overt” cat signs like the angry tail wag or pinned ears. I don’t think I’ve ever even heard her hiss, and only rarely have I seen her fur raise a little. Her body language is so subtle, and its readable because she expresses a lot with her big eyes, but definitely different than what’s “expected” for kitties. She also loves when I do the nose boop leading into her guiding pets. If I do any kind of full body pets, its never with a flat hand or a lot of pressure. The way I pet most critters, her included, is more of a “back scratch” - light touch that gets down into the soft floof. She loves her cheeks, chest, ears, and shoulders pet, and her tail woven through my fingers as she moves it. Such a sweetie.

So I think the thing that I love so much about your videos is that you are showing people how to not interfere with a cat being a cat. Too many people seem to have a cat but want a dog. Cats are so immensely rewarding as companions if you simply respect them and let them be cats. The reward of a cat choosing to be around you is immense. I wish people would remember that these are not automatons that are made to respond to human stimulus in a certain way. These are sentient beings who deserve to be treated with respect and kindness.

My cats don't care how I pet them, they just love it.

My cat does the cutest thing when you hold up objects or hands to her. Everyone who know her calls this inspection. She must first smell the item, consider it carefully for a couple seconds, and then either look down in disapproval or head-bonk it if it is approved. The finger-nose thing reminded me of that. Anyway, it’s so cute! Any time she wants attention and there are items nearby, she just looks up at the local human until they hold up an item and say, “Inspeck?” And she just lights up when someone asks her to inspect something, it’s so goddamn cute

I'm 6 years late to this but my cat doesn't have that reaction. Usually, when I pet my cat, he will settle down and relax. Sometimes he will lay down and fall asleep. Often, he will look at me with semi closed eyes and just chill out with me. However, I pay attention to my cat and know his stimulation points. Usually, the areas I pet him are places I know he likes the most. Usually, that's around his face, on his cheeks, under his neck and on the top of his head. However, I stroke him slowly on those places and don't do it for long. Basically, I took the time to get to know him. I also know when to stop based on his body language. It takes time to get to know a cat but once a relationship is built and knowing their level of comfort, things can be absolutely great between a cat and his parent (the human companion).

Ya know...I don't have any of these problems...my Leo even lets me pet his soft furry little tummy. Your little senior lady is so adorable! ❤

We all know that our feline friends are intelligent, but we seriously underestimate their emotional intelligence as well and I feel that’s where lots of people run into problems. Respect their space and treat them as you would a human friend and you have a companion until the end. 😭 Thank you for spreading your knowledge ✊🏻

I had a cat that really loved being petted. He did purr loudly when he was on top of my chest area. He was a big sweat and friendly cat. I think on that one cat that I never did pet him the wrong way. He was my best friend.

I laughed watching how anyone aware sees these subtle movements- BODY language is 80% of communication. Thanks cat cuddler of the world...the cat's savior...be you.

I know these are considered to be really silly questions - but for ppl like me who were never allowed pets as children, all this is invaluable information !

First-time cat owner. Between your videos and her patience I am learning so much. Thank you.

I have two cats, one of which I recently rescued a few months ago. My first cat Twilight is VERY clear on how much she wants to be pet. When she’s done, she’ll swat at me or bite me. And she absolutely DESPISES belly rubs so I never give her any. My second cat Jewels on the other hand is very very sweet. She LOVVESSS belly rubs. She’ll stretch out as I pet her fluffy belly and then roll back over and muzzle my hand. When she’s done being pet, she’ll simply walk away. Big difference in pettings, but I love them both so much ❤

I love that your 23 year old is in this vid. Our oldest right now is 25. We started rescuing to honor our Baby Kitty, who spent 29 wonderful years with my family. She picked us that day in that Humane Society,& I’m thankful she did, as she taught me so much about the language of cats. When she slowly went deaf it really didn’t matter much, she still understood us & we understood her. We made some slight changes for her convenience, of course. You learn so much by just watching them😀

Thanks again Jackson! Your video's are SO important and helpful! Keep up the amazing work as always

I think my cat gravitates towards me because I don't over bear him with petting. I'll give him a little rub on the cheeks and chin every so often, but let him chill for the most part. But this is only when he comes to me and sits on my lap. When they come to you and start doing the head boops, that's also a good signal that they want to be petted and when they're in that mood they rarely attack. Basically, let them come to you. Never force them into a situation.

My cat's doesn't like to much petting. But loves being with me she'll sleep on me under me at the moment she's watching bird videos on KZread and has wrapped herself around my feet. I can't reach her but she wants to be touching me. She has never hissed lost her cool. When I pick her up she goes straight to my shoulder like a furry parrot and we'll go around the house looking at things. We play hide and seek or we'll play fetch. At night she asks for cuddles maybe 2/3 times a night sometimes she doesn't come at all but when she comes to me she'll purr and purr and pad and falls asleep next to me. Life is good and I wouldn't change anything about her.

I used to have 2 kitties myself (a tiny calico and a huge long haired white kitty) and talk about different personalities with those two but I managed to figure them out and treated them in entirely different ways when they both were with me. (my big white kitty would LOVE to sleep between my legs and the calico would always sleep on my left shoulder about 95% of the time...the other 5% was what I liked to call her "middle of the night crazy hour" lolsss) but they both slept on me in those same spots pretty much the whole time I had them and YES I Miss them both now too and now, I haven't had a new cat after them for about the last 5 or 6 years by now

I always call the finger nose thing the "Nose Touch" and when I say it out loud my 3 cats know that it's time for petting. Just like Jackson shows they will connect their nose to the tip of my finger and then guide my hand either to their ear or under the chin. I do pet them in other ways, but the "Nose Touch" kinda let's them know right away that they are in control of the petting.

I adopted my first Kitten ever! Kitten will be coming to my home in a few weeks. I have been a dog person my whole life. I have watched a bunch of your videos to prepare me as a NEW cat owner. I am so looking forward to becoming a cat owner-friendship experience. Thank you Jackson for all of your advice!!!!

As in almost every one of Jackson's videos, it's all about learning your cat and the techniques he uses to communicate with you. I'm raising a young kitten right now and one of the things I had to recognize is, while he's a very affectionate kitten, he DOES NOT like to have his fur stroked for extended periods. So I've trained myself to scratch his ears, or rub his cheeks for a very short time (less than 30 seconds) and then stop. He used to just get up and move away if I pet him too long. Now he's much more comfortable sitting in my lap for extended periods.... Pay attention! Your cat is trying to tell you what he likes and what he doesn't!

Yes, thanks for the reminder to not take it personally when they communicate that they're done being petted or not liking how they're being petted. I keep getting my feelings hurt when my cat hisses or swats at me. I'm like, I'm trying to love you! Why don't you love me back? I'm so used to my late cats who were so loving and affectionate.

I realized after watching this that my cat isn’t fat he’s just full of air.🤣

Tom Long Every one of my cats for 40+ years has learned to love their belly rubbed. It's true, it's not something cats do normally because it's something earned to the owner, like trust or respect with humans. To have a cat show it's belly willingly is the greatest honor they can bestow on their owner. But again, it's something earned, not just given away naturally.

You are such an amazing teacher! Let the cat show you where it pet is so important it’s their way to communicate to you their unique needs. Every cat is different and it’s fun to figure them out and for them to build a bond with you :3

I adopted two rescues 8 years ago, they are both very affectionate. Henry the larger of the two will literally drop to the floor and roll belly up, his way of requesting a full hand slow throat to legs, up and down belly rub. He has never bit or scratched me, definitely one of a kind.

my cat just wants to be pet every second of every day... its so annoying. I have a roommate that pets the cat for hours then when he pushes the cat off he comes over and jumps on my lap and puts his head under my arm to be pet. We had a 7 yr old, a 6 yr old and a 5 yr old (siblings) over that had never had a cat before and they were picking him up and petting his fur backwards and holding him for a full 3 days including at night and he never ran away from them or bit them or anything. Then after they left he ran around the house crying looking for them for 2 days! He is always excited when they visit.

Our kitten Spot loves to climb in my lap,and then turn so he's lying in the crook of my elbow on his back like a baby.It's the cutest thing- he loves to have his belly and paws rubbed,too.He'll fall asleep that way for a while,too.I hope he never grows out of it! Our other kitten,Patches( his sister) likes to cuddle on her own terms.She's a calico,so that's probably why.She is getting more cuddly,though,so that's a good thing.

i just scratch their heads and chin and never get hurt :)

***** only one of my cats will cuddle but its not really cuddling he just lays on my chest

This is very helpful, thank you Jackson!

So i was having dinner and my step moms cat started petting itself with my leg, and after about 20 seconds it bit me in the leg lol.

My cat loves it when I scratch the scruff of his neck, he just starts going to a slack state and is all relaxed, it's hilarious to watch 😂😂

I adopted an 8 year old cat a year and a half ago. She was very shy and afraid of everything to the point she did not use the liter in the shelter as she was so afraid of the other cats. I felt sad for her and decided she needed someone who could help her. I have PTSD from a decade of living on the streets while going through major depression. So I kinda had an idea of what happened to her. She is a cat with PTSD. I even found the lower left canine tooth was broken out, along with a bit of facial damage. I can see where her PTSD came from.That part may never go away. It has not for me, and I understand it. It took four months to get her to come out from under the bed. She did come out when I was not around to use the litter and eat. After she came out, it was another month before I could detect a purr. Now days she still has the PTSD, and easily frightens, but she is pretty much a normal cat otherwise. This video is a good thing for me to learn as I HAVE been doing it wrong and have seen the signals in this video. Angel thanks you.

Do you suggest any technique that you did to acclimate your scary cat. Mine definitely has PTSD and I do as well. She’s been with me 9 months and has come a long way but she’s going backwards now and I’m lost as what to do next to keep our relationship as she won’t play with me and I can not pick her up. She’s afraid to sit on furniture so she’s never really close to me

@@lisazappala4381 whan I got her she was terrified. She hid under the full sized bed. I could not get to her. She did sneak out to her litter and I gave her food under the bed. So, for two months, I just laid on the floor talking to her in sweet sounding stuff. After that point, she started coming over to me, just to the very point that I could just feel her fur, just lightly. But even with that, she was a ball of fire. For months I had scraps and cuts. I ALMOST was about to take her back. Then I remembered that two other people adopted her, and brought her back after they found she was too feral. I thought about that, and the trauma and abuse she got. She is a pure black cat. I could not do that to her. I made a decision that if it came to it, I was going to give her a home. It took her a few months to settle down and realize she was in the best place she could be. She obviously has PTSD from her life of abuse. She even has a tooth knocked out. So being a veteran with PTSD, (not from war), so I just dealt with her like that. Being a former professional intuitive reader, I opened up to Spirit intuitively guiding me with helping her. It is four years now. She is the sweetest little cat I could hope for. She gives me lots of love. Just open yourself to Spirit guiding you. That's where I got the idea to lay on the floor, talking to her. I believe Spirit uses out intuition to communicate. It is why some people can "talk" to their pets and other animals. I believe animals have a very well developed sense of intuition.

@@MEugeneDavis thank you so much for the information. Nina has only been with me for 9 months and has done very well for such a short time. I’m unable to get on the floor due to a back injury so getting on her same level I know will help but I’m unable to accomplish that. She won’t get up on furniture either so again that same level thing isn’t happening yet. She’s definitely my most damaged feral cat. My others stayed more afraid of environment but were very snuggly with just my daughter and myself. I guess time will tell. Like you I wouldn’t return her as she’s not destructive just needs a special kind of love. I’m a very nurturing person, so she’s in the right place. I just need to learn more than the basic information to help her flourish. Thank you for sharing with me

@@lisazappala4381 now, Angel likes to sit just outside the door, watching my hummingbirds. I live in the second floor. I have a somewhat secluded situation at the dead end of the walkway. Angel will walk to the top of the stairs, but will not go down. So I have no issues with her getting out. So I started keeping my door open all day. (This is San Diego). My hummingbirds are five feet from my desk. I also took all the screens out. So I can watch them and Angel interact. Angel has no interest in chasing them. She just scolds them. After all, she is a senior citizen. In cat years she just passed me. I am 65. You will have a very loving cat with the love you give.

Sound advice and brilliant as ever, CatMan!. Thank you, Jackson...🎶meow🎶

That makes sense. Since I had cats since childhood I noticed this. So from young age I told myself to never 'pet a cat the same way', so, never go same pattern, and since then I never got attacked, I also stopped petting... nonstop. I change from petting to tickling to nudging to kissing to ignoring him for hours so he better appreciate the next time I touch him! It works haha

This was such an amazing explanation! I’m shocked at how well I understand it now! Thanks!

Jackson Galaxy Dude, your videos should be shown to kids in elementary. It´s easy-to-acquire knowledge, and yet so many people don´t know to "read" their pet. I really do think that in a society with that many pets like the western society, things like this should be taught at an early age. It´s existential for a good bond with the animal, and happiness for both owner and pet. I doff my hat, guv´nah!

You are so wise. I’ve taken the advice from dozens of people and cherry picked the best as my ‘ Cat Practice ‘ In one week, You have touched on every golden rule I know. You’ve added a few as well How can I transition my cats energy level from play to relaxation?

LOL I literally learned all this on my own. I feel so smart LOL I guess just because my cat is a loner but if you sit around her she will want some attention eventually. So I just put my hand out and she will rub all over it then she is chill with me petting her a bunch. Now its like once I start she never wants me to stop. :O Im guessing its because she is an outside cat so she doesn't get that much human attention.

I'm with you. When I was a kid our family took in a stray cat that came to our neighborhood. I learned what the tail swashing meant. I noticed he liked to rub against our hands with his mouth and sometimes his back. I will say, when we got out of the shower he loved to be pet, but he would usually play "Gotcha" at that time too. I think it was because we had washed off his scent, or the smell of the soap put him into a weird mode.

if you come out of a shower, and the cat starts licking, biting a little, and using its claws a bit aswell, it's not necessarily a bad sign, or a sign of dislike.. in my case, it's due to my cat going wild over the scent, and it simply cannot get enough of it (i tried the soap on an empty cardboard toilet roll, and the same thing happend, aswell as 10 minutes of licking)

I’m loving the finger/nose maneuver.! I always offer my finger to my cats and cars who are unfamiliar with me as a way to Dee if they want any attention! Sort of like I’m asking permission. We laugh about how our cats are « self-petting »! They kind of do a head bump and pop my hand up or over to what they want petted or scratched.

I have a two cats and they like being petted differently. One love the all over body rub, yes even his belly, and the other only likes his face rubbed and I do mean rubbed he will scrub his face all over your hand to get you to rub at just the right pressure. But both love the under the chin scratch the most. LOL!

My little guys is the most gentle sweetheart of a kitten but he’s also very very playful. He has endless energy it seems and he’s about 6mo old. He doesn’t seem to like to be pet that often and is kinda bitey most of the time. He basically follows me around all day gently biting my ankles and grabs my hands when I pet him. He is super super gentle. I’ve never met a cat so gentle. He just loves to play. Will he sort of grow out of this kind of hyper play? It doesn’t bother me, I just want him to feel safe. He looks pretty relaxed he just doesn’t especially like for someone to walk up to him and touch him. I like the finger nose technique. I’m definitely going to use that one.

Love Jackson Galaxy! He sure knows about Cats!

For picking up cats you have to let them go immediately when they want to go. If you don't do that they will feel trapped. I also let my cat sit on my arms instead of holding her. And If I feel some tension I ask if she wants to go. Then she says 'I want to go' or she relaxes because now she knows she can go whenever she wants and that I won't exceed her limits ..or how you say that in English.

OMG I tell everyone about the finger-nose, I intuited this from the way cats generally behave. It is the best first approach to meeting a cat.

Yup. Also, if they're nervous, not looking directly at them for too long can help. I also purr at them sometimes; that's more or less their language to show they're not threatening, so I figure I can try to communicate in their language since they can't really learn ours.
