I love that these people say they don’t know much about cats, but by golly, are they trying hard to make Shiro as happy as possible. The cat picked a pretty good household to become part of!
I love the fact that this kind of things spans cultures. The strong desire to convince a cat to do something that should make it happy, might be universal.
When cats squint they're saying they love you. That big stretch when you raised the blanket was a very loving, enthusiastic greeting ❤ You have a very happy kitty
@@shiroi.mayoineko2023eye contact is important with cats! If two cats are staring at each other angrily, it means they think the other might attack the moment they look away. By closing their eyes, it shows they trust you!
Cats generally love dark, closed off spaces, it makes them feel safe. They also tend to love routine, so they need a bit of time to get used to any changes. So even when the kotatsu wasn't turned on, once he got used to it, it was only a matter of time until he learned to love it. The fact that it can also warm up makes it the best thing ever for a cat! ❤
It's fine as long as it's not turned on, or else, it's a hazard. The heat would be too much and suck too much oxygen out. All in all, don't have it turned on with the cat inside, but it's fine on it's own. Personally, I make a tent on top a recliner chair with a thick blanket, and my cats love going underneath. Enough air circulation that it's safe
My mom has a huge, oversized ottoman, at least a metre across, and her cat loves to nap beneath it. It's quiet, dark, and extra warm. Gums the Toothless Kitty adores it.
9:11 Shiro was giving you a slow blink! That’s how cat’s say they love you. Shiro is such a pretty baby, I had a solid white cat when I was little her name was snowy she looked like fresh snow. I hope Shiro spends many happy years with your family, it’s clear you all love him very much.
Exactly. ALL animals deserve to be happy. Watch DOMINION the documentary. 8 billion humans in the world and more and more people eating horrific animal based western style diet means almost 100 billion baby land animals are forced into existence destined for the most unimaginably cruel life of mutilation torture and terror in crowded sunless factory farms. YOU CANT BE AN AMIMAL LOVER AND STILL EAT DISMEMBERED BODY PARTS OF INNOCENT ANIMALS.
Adorable! Kotatsus aren’t popular outside of Japan, so I personally never felt one, but they seem really cozy! On another note, thank you for putting English subtitles 😊
There is a song in Japan that goes, ``When it snows, dogs happily run around in the garden, and cats curl up under the kotatsu and sleep.'' 😂 Thank you for complimenting the subtitles 😭💕 It's very encouraging!!
There are equivalent structures all over the world where families sit in winter. When I was in Afghanistan, a lot of households still used the traditional sandali, which is called differently in Iraq and the countries south of Russia, but it's basically the same thing.
@@texasred2702 I find it strange that Europe seems to almost completely lack such cultural structures. It seems like it would be an eminently useful thing for such a comparatively cold climate.
Your family learning how to take care of Shiro is so sweet. Wanting him to be warm under the kotatsu and to have non broken toys. You obviously have good hearts. Shiro will be very happy as part of your family. And I'm sure you'll enjoy Shiro more every day. 🍀💖
素敵なコメントをありがとうございます💕 日本よりインドネシアの伝統的な金探鉱のあなたへ愛を込めて💕 Terima kasih atas komentar Anda yang luar biasa 💕 Dengan cinta dari Jepang kepada Anda, penjelajah emas tradisional di Indonesia💕
Shiro, you look so happy! I'm glad your family is so attentive and loving ❤️ Clearly so relaxed and content to be near those wonderful people... Thank you for taking care of Shiro!
Oh my gosh.. Father has an incredible voice. I am so happy to see Shiro slow blink at you and hear the family so excited for Shiro. Thank you for sharing. 😊
@@shiroi.mayoineko2023 Slow blinking is very important, it means that they trust you! If a cat is avoiding your gaze or deliberately turns its back, it is also showing trust- it knows you won't hurt it. It's a different way of showing affection than dogs, but the affection is just as real. This is why cats always come to people that try to ignore them- they think they're trying to make friends! Thanks for posting your videos, and thanks for taking care of Shiro.
