cat : becomes couch potato

That's what stockholm syndrome is :D

well she probably wasn't spending more than $30 a month for foods and if that's too much to make a cat's life slightly better than you are a cold person, that's all.

Probably just a good predator. He had legs that were not too short for hunting, the right size to fight off other cats or other animals and his fur had no blank spots in it so he had a good chance to survive the weather changes.

Hello how are you doing?

He's not even fat, he's just *big* like, damn, a meaty boi. That's a hunter for sure.

I was thinking he was like that bc she was feeding him.

I know a lot of people who feed cats on the streets. Under feeding is usually not a concern. It’s a lack of attention to medical issues.

Right?!?!? 😫

@@universalsoul7653 yea true

If I am not wrong it is because stomach is their weak spot

The biggest love a cat can show is allowing you to pet their stomach.

Yeah I have a half domestic half bobcat and at first he’d scratch me if I touched his belly but after a while he would voluntarily show his stomach. But the reason they are skeptical and physical about their stomach is because in the wild, their stomach is the softest and quickest way to their major organs.

Rough living ages us all 😶 He got way better 😌 tho 😃💗

@@lovealways2609 I was going to write a long winded comment based on what is known about the evolution of the modern domestic cat, but thankfully the Internet ate it ... Bottom line is, remarkably, life seems to be especially harsh for unfixed, male cats, even in the concrete jungle, especially, much like solitary male lions, finding a pride to join, given the natural inclination to reproduce, is pretty damn tough, especially when the only way is to defeat a male lion of a preexisting pride. Granted, domestic cats are more like tigers, and leopards, in that they are more adept at being a solitary hunter, but the constant toll of eaking out a territory, and defending it against other, intruding male cats, whilst finding enough to eat, and finding unfixed female cats to mate with, is extremely stressful, even at a genetic level. In fact, cat behaviourists* theorised the reason why the life span of a feral domestic cat is so much shorter than one kept largely indoors, is because of the sheer stress feral cats, especially male cats, go through, is enough to cause, essentially, premature ageing. Hence why he looks way older than he actually is, as he had had a rather hard knock life ... [*= Yup, there are actual PhD programs in Cat/Feline Behaviour. Like all STEM PhDs, it isn't as easy as it sounds, but, if successful, you not only get to call yourself Dr. for real, but you get to study cats all day ... which, if had it been more of a thing that I knew of back when I was 16, in 1990, it something I would definitely have aim for ...]

well, judging from his chubby face, I think he was not totally unhappy with living outside.

Yes! Unfixed males make too much testosterone steroid which makes their face round (like moon face like Cushings Disease) and other males don’t like them, they’re often solo their whole life because other cats don’t like them, so they can’t find a tribe. And they “feel” more aggressive inside and they don’t like that feeling either. Even human men don’t like being on steroids. Neutering males before 1years offers them a much more pleasant life.

@@nigelft I work with feral and stray cats, and I have seen several males have that ‘chubby face’ without it being body fat. They often get it from scar tissue and ear mites. Male cats often scratch eachother in the face when they fight. To me he definitely have that ‘look’.

He did! He has a very sweet owner who keeps some active social media pages for him, and he looks absolutely spoiled and well loved!

That was the greatest reaction from Dwight. Like, "I think this lady just insulted me!"

identity theft is not a joke jim!

Agreed! Looks like his left ear might have been clipped before she tamed him a bit. If so, he had been previously trapped and fixed. His weight looked pretty good, so he was eating regularly somewhere.

If he meowed he was someone’s pet. He was either abandoned or was lost

and even if she ran out of food.. she's still a potential food source!

Fortunately, now, although there isn't still a vaccine, drug therapies have advanced way beyond even AZT, which was groundbreaking in its own time, nearing a person with HIV+ are likely to have a similar lifespan to those whom are HIV- . Hopefully, something similar is available for our companion animals, as they, like we, deserve the best we can provide ...

Cats like dogs are very forgiving, next time just sit by the cat and let it come to you. The best thing is to play with cat. Again don't pick up the cat. You need to let the cat come to you. Cats are very loving but sometimes they need some space.

100% accurate 💕💕💕😍😍😍

Yes. I am in the process of rescuing a cat that took about two years to finally drop its guard and approach me; one day out of the blue meowing for my help as I called my own cats inside for the evening. Someone had trapped and released him, as I noticed the notch in his ear, but he was definitely not feral, just super shy and abandoned or lost. I call him Scaredy.

One thousand percent agree. I really wish this channel and the people on it would stop calling these cats feral because they are not! They might be stray, or abandoned, skittish or scared but they are NOT feral cats.

He was feral but Just a big boy

General rule: If it's meowing at you, it's a stray. If it isn't, it's Feral. Cats have to learn how to 'talk' to humans and this chunky boy started meowing as soon as he got over the hissing, so you're right, 99% chance he's stray, not feral.

My point exactly!! You are right. It takes 2 yrs or more to domesticate a feral cat. And, sometime they never adapt. This cat looks to well cared for, to be feral. A stray maybe, but not feral

Took two years for one of mine to even look at me through a window, another four years to get him inside occasionally, and another two years permanent. Lost him two years ago, miss that guy so much.

Thanks for the info, I was thinking 7 months seemed so short for a truly feral cat. I'm at month 10 with my feral cat. She lets me pet her when she's eating and has learnt to meow and play from her adoptive sister, but that's about it so far.

@@tanshaomala I had one feral that finally let me pet him 3 times while he ate. Every night, 3 times and that was my limit - despite having him in our yard for years.

That’s what my fiancé did with my cat. My cat was suspicious to strangers and refused to go up to anyone he didn’t know. I knew my fiancé wasn’t a “cat” person. He would let my cat sniff him and let my cat come up to him. He would never approach my cat. One day my cat jumped on my lap with my fiancé sitting next me and I told him to hold out his hand to see what my cat would do. He did and my cat gently rubbed his cheek against my fiancé’s hand. I was so excited, but my fiancé pulled his hand back when my cat pulled his head away. Next time my fiancé came over to visit and was sitting next to me on the couch my cat jumped in his lap and curled up beside him purring. That’s when my fiancé first ever pet my cat. Now my cat is constantly trying to get in my fiancé’s lap when he comes. I even get jealous sometimes that my cat doesn’t want in my lap when he comes visit. 😂😂

Yea. I've done that with 2 'street' cats in my neighbourhood in the past couple of years since I moved here. One, Mr Grumpy, was a senior who'd been fending for himself on the streets apparently for 7+ years. I felt so sorry for him and took to feeding him daily but couldn't let him in at the time as my own cat, Lottie, hated other cats but when she very sadly died, out of the blue, within a year I was able to encourage Grumpy to overcome his fears if strangers, noises, etc, and come down the corridor to my apartment where I would then feed him. It took a lot of patience to help him overcome his skittishness but I was the only person he trusted and most other people scared him. It was clear he'd had a home before as he used the litter tray immediately after eating without me having to show him where it was! He still had the freedom to come and go as he wanted and I didn't want to just keep him in all the time as he liked to sometimes roam a bit! I had the privilege of looking after Mr Grumpy until the end of August 2021 when he suddenly took ill, I think having a series of strokes, and had to be euthanised. I was heartbroken and he was such a unique, quirky little boy. I'd also been feeding another cat, Boo Boo, and since Mr Grumpy died I've also, with much patience and over many weeks, been able to encourage him to sometimes come in for his food as well. He's still extremely skittish though and bolts at the first sign of anyone else around, noises, etc, but with me he stands on his back legs to reach up and 'kiss' me when I bend down to him, he touches mu face with his paw, etc. He's so sweet! A few months ago a neighbour of mine had been interested in adopting him but her personality wasn't the right fit for him as she was too impatient when he wouldn't come to her, her voice was too loud when she was calling him, etc, and she just scared him off. So, it does take patience, time and a calm manner to help skittish, nervous animals to gain trust and overcome their fears. Also, I've found that with particularly nervous cats when they do allow you to touch them, at their own pace and without rushing them, it's best to avoid suddenly stroking them on top of their heads, especially when they're eating, as that can startle them. Gently stroking them from their necks down to their tails is best and the more you can do that the better, of course, as they get used to the touch and enjoy it. I still have a lot more 'work' to do with Boo Boo as he only comes into my flat, mainly late at night when less people are around, for about 10 minutes at time to eat his food and hang out with me a little bit. He does though roll around on his back at times though with his legs in the air, showing that he's happy!
