@@norwegianblue2017 depends, I have a female cat and she goes out of her way to attack me and won’t stop until I notice her. It’s a very frisky behavior that some cats display to their owners if they love them enough. If she is annoyed by me she usually goes away. But nah, she brings the fight to me. 😂
@@undeaditachi3494 I am a vet who specializes on cats. That behavior is not normal. Ask any other vets and they would do the same. Just because you beat your wife and she loves you back doesn't mean they enjoyed the experience
cats only wag their tail when they are pissed off. it was not predatory or defensive behavior so it didn't go full claw swinging but it was angry and was punching away
there can be many reason a cat wags it tail. in this case the cat was displaying all the behavior i mentioned before, so im pretty confident that it was not annoyed. it was having fun with its owner there are plenty of documented cases where cats vigorously wag their tails while being affectionate with their owners.
Nah, That's how cats play fight. If it's actually pissed off the hand will be bleeding easily, people have no idea how durable rats are and cats usually eat them whole without any leftover
Some if you have never had cats it seems, this is how they play with each other. That cat is having the time of his life they always flick their tails when play fighting. Also, if the cat was unhappy it would have left they don't just sit there while you mess with them they will run away that cat kept coming back.
My grandpa's a real tough guy, life time hands on working man type guy, never laughs, like, NEVER... Oh but give him a cat, dog or little kid, to play fight with, he laughs until his lungs fail.
Notice the missing fur on its leg at the end of the video? This poor cat is mentally abused. I can't stand people who "jokingly" play rough with cats like it's a pitbull or something. Cats are meant to be loved, not fucked with. He's gonna make his cat mean!! Traumatized. Cats are sensitive. Anytime another person goes to pet it, it might attack them! It was cute when he stood up with his paws up. 🐾 But, this is more sad than funny... 😞 and sad that more people don't notice this.
We got a kitten and the rule is he isn’t allowed to touch it cause he made the last one into a fighter, and not a playful one, there is 100% chance of blood, and an 80% chance she will attack for no reason when you aren’t looking
literally no one is saying this is abuse, they're saying you shouldn't do this and you're assuming they're referring to abuse - when in reality they're talking about not teaching and encouraging your cats to play with your hand. people will whine and cry about how their cat nips them while they sleep but then continue to play with them with their hand. ITS YOUR FAULT FOR TEACHING THEM BAD MANNERS.
Oh my God, the arrangment here is so nostalgic, the wodden walls with these windows, the couch, the items on the back, even coat the guy is wearing, brings warm feelings.
@@Herbert_Rudolf I’m sorry you missed an opportunity to form a new relationship and companion. I hope your dad gets enlighten one day. Sorry for your loss.
Cats play fight with each other like this, with soft biting and pinning each other down. They even do it to their kittens- it's completely normal. I will never accept the 19K dislikes being for anything other than the couch pointing at the window.
Body language is saying the cat doesn't like it. The cat is annoyed because this dude came up and started flicking it in the face while it was chillin.
ReDog Oh Jesus take the wheel. Obviously you have never owned a cat. That cat isn't angry. There's such a thing as "play fighting" Cats do it to themselves from day one. If that cat was truly angry she'd be hissing, growling, and biting hard and her owner would have mince meat for a hand.

This is fairly tame. I know a feisty little fella who will kick and scratch your arm with his back paws. Keeps playing regardless, no sign of frustration. Never met another cat like him.
This Cat wasn’t angry at all. He was okay fighting with his owner. If the Cat was truly angry. He will be hissing, his ears would’ve folded and he would’ve been going for blood. The Cat clearly having a good time playing because it’s their nature to be predatory.
Cats wag their tail and put their ears back when they are upset, which this cat is doing. Sometimes when the ears are back it’s not a sign that they are upset but that paired with the tail wag leads me to believe it’s upset Edit: omg it’s been a year, I have stated multiple times that this was my opinion, not 100% a fact and that I was just giving my input based on years of raising and caring for cats. Please stop responding to me Edit 2: okay, I’m terrible at putting things to words so I’m gonna try this again. Last time I edited this I was very stressed out about a lot at once and was feeling defensive. All I mean to say is that this isn’t an issue to me so I do not see a point in arguing with anyone. If you think the cat is fine then that’s great, I’m sure it is. I also would like to say that I know cats play rough as I have cats and one of them does like to play rough. I was just giving input, if you disagree, that’s valid, but name-calling and aggressive behavior seems like such an overreaction to something I doubt any of us really care about. We don’t know this man or his cat so at the end of the day, none of our opinions matter.
@@imacommenter1255 they also wave tails when playing or if they're indecisive about something, it's not just an aggression thing. Personally I think if he was angry he would be nastier or just walk away, or at least give a warning like a hiss.
@@somebodyyoudontknow3980 yes but fast intense flicking of the tail generally indicates agitation. Short flicks or slow long wags are play/hunting. These looked more like anger to me
@@imacommenter1255 you also gotta take into account how the cat was raised, may seem weird but that plays a factor in the tail wag department. Say the cats around dogs all the time, the cat would pick up the dogs traits sometimes. If the cat was pissed off it would have shown it and it wouldn't have gone for his hand again if not just running away entirely.
Winking in the language of cats means, "I'm not a legitimate threat" If you're around a cat that is stressed or unsure of your intentions, try winking at it. That's not a fool proof suggestion but it's the right way to communicate if your intentions aren't threatening. It's also a sign of trust between a familial cat and it's owner.
Becuase I see hate comments let me make some points. This is playing 1-the cat is not hissing or growling. 2-the cats eyes are 'playful' if that makes sense. I own 4 cats. 2 of them are less than a year old. They play like this with eachother. Then they run away and charge back. 3- if the cat felt threatened, the tail would be puffed...that's sorta should be obvious. 4- I don't know for sure, but I didnt see the cat actually using his claws in a fighting manner...if that makes sense. Any arguments? Keep them civil. Ile answer them.
The fact that one has to explain people that this isn't animal abuse really is depressing. Sometimes I seriously wonder what the fuck has happened to this world
Cats are hunters. They're apex predators. For them, this is the general equivalent of playing a game of "tag"! Trust me, if that was a serious fight, the human would KNOW IT!
Peter Vesalius Cat would’ve gone for his body or face if he actually wanted to attack. People who have cats & are saying the cat is pissed must have a no touch / no play relationship with their cats. Because this is 100% play.
Hynop As far as I know, it's proof that he/she trusts him and can take his/her guard down when he is around. So yeah, the cat is living a happy life I guess
50% of the percentage signs you used are redundant. If you had one cent per percent of percentage signs that were redundant, you would have fifty cents per comment based on my extremely low data pool of one fifty cent-worth, fifty percent percentage sign redundancy rate, comment.
There's s fine line between play fighting with the cat and causing it legitimate distress. Depends on the cat and the owner. But priming the cat to attack human hands isn't the ideal thing to do.
@@Spacedoggo_1021 cats literally wiggle their entire tails and bodies when they get excited and play. Have you ever owned two cats that play with each other?
@@thecringeprince2040 if you studied any kind of science, cats are instinctively hunters and he/she was angry its just that he/she is domesticated and didn't attack
The cat is not attacking. It is playing 1-It is not screaming 2-It is not scratching 3-its pupils' sizes are normal conclusion: not attacking, just playing
Copernicus it's not doing any of those things because it's just mildly annoyed and because he's it's owner, so he doesn't feel endangered by him in any way... notice what it's doing with its tail? that means it's pissed off
i eat shit cats can flick their tail for many reasons. They flick their tail when they are play fighting. Notice how the kitty flicks it's tail harder and faster right before he pounces. Cats play very rough. If the cat was even mildly annoyed he would have growled or hissed to say back off before really attacking (teeth and claws beared and ears back). In this video he's only playing with his person he's not annoyed he's having fun
Drej 101 lmao you what's your argument behind that though? You don't know the cat and you watched a minute long video. 1. There's no reason his owner would intentionally irritate him. And 2. If you know anything about cats or have ever owned cats you'd know that when cats are irritated they get the hell up and leave. Petting too much and they're sick of it? They get up and leave. Done playing and starting to get irritated? Hop off the couch and leave. And as for the tail wagging as I said before can be agitation or excitement. My cats tails wag and their fur even becomes poofy (also can be a sign of agression) right before they pounce and play with each other. This cat is not distressed, angry, or irritated
You must not know about cats. 1.He played gently(not going for blood),2.She kept her tail up and moved it around,3.She blinked at the end. *If you don't know,that means that the cat really loves his owner and that is why she even played gently and it's cometely normal for cats to fight like that with their owners,because they even do it to their kittens.*
Captains log: entry 362 After nearly a full solar rotation, I have yet to find the comments claiming abuse, only stumbling upon comment after comment about people not understanding why there are so many comments about people thinking this is abuse..this truly is a strange phenomenon.
You realize that video uploader can delete comments... if this was my video I'd delete the comments from all the crazy people claiming animal abuse so...
lookingfordanny he could just go outside if he wanted to see nature... lmao let's be honest, who do you know that sits down on his/her couch and watches nature through the window.
If the cat was angry or upset it wouldve 100000% hissed and ran away. But it didnt . This is how alot of cats like to play . Fighting essentially . They do that with their tail both when playful and angry so its not an indication of distress .
this is not animal abuse. before people start blowing the whistle on this guy, here me out. one, if the cat was in pain, it would run off, yowl, or attack. (and by attack i mean draw blood, latch on, or start hissing while fighting) the cat KEPT coming back. it was playing. this is not abuse. stop fucking calling this guy an abuser, cats are playful animals just like dogs.
