How to socialize feral kittens 

How is that pellet litter? I have 2 adult cats. I have 2 litterboxes that use Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal. Does the urine make it to the bottom of the litter box?(I don't want that). Just wondering how effective it is.

You guys are the best thank you for what ya do

EXCELLENT DONATION SET UP FINALLY !!! I tried and failed on previous one . This one ; 2 clicks and done and done ! 😎🐈thanks!

fyi, Gerber makes some nice little silicone spoons to protect baby teeth.

Do you have any videos on how to protect yourself and the cats from fleas? I think that would be a really helpful topic to cover and also encourage people to feel safe while helping local stray cats.

That happened to my old cat google, he walked into our elevator and straight into out house

This happens to us every few years. One day they'll just come to our house and we feed them. Sometimes they stay, others we never see again. Once the cats who stayed pass away, a new batch comes eventually, and the cycle continues.

@@SirFaceFone Bless you.

Lucky you

yup! I noticed that too, actually wanted to say it :) The black one is the most introverted, but gets attached the quickest.

Tuxedo kitten is a real turn around!

I love you

I remember when i rescued baby kittens, there was only one who was hissing and hitting me and the other kittens, later he was the one that most wanted attention and loved being held

The smart one.

I love the way you lie....

why you crying at a tutorial on how to tame cats

@@ronald38586 the end was about letting go the cats, it's common human psychology of crying when someone has to go

@@khakim9448 it's not her cats tho

How’s you kittens?❤

5 weeks is nothing for cars. Give them space as well and they’ll come round

Me too! I’ve been almost one month with them now. They were so sick, it was wrecking me how demanding it was. Now I feel so lucky to care for them.

Cursed comment

Stockholm syndrome be like

instead of torture they give you a home, love and food.

my cat dissappeared, it's been like 2 weeks, she hasn't come home for days, she was on the street outside my fathers work, helpless and afraid and my sister tried to gain confidence with her on the bathroom of our old home, she gave birth to 2 kittens, one of them looks like her but prettier, i miss her so much

dude why

😹😹😹

So true and wonderful

What is a scritch? Does he mean scratch?

@@leonardmcdermott7703 scritches and scratches are synonymous, yes. though some use scritches to differentiate from being scratched in a painful way.

Never touch or pet animals, cats, before letting them to smell you/your hand. You are forcing dominance.

lol

mom basement.

Are you a cat?

That's why I get moving.

;)

Me I had both my cats since birth and they still live healthy

Me. Twas me. Found my cat as a spicy bish on the street, she slowly became nicer, gave birth in my house to another spicy bish who is still kind of a jerk. Still, this sentiment is beautiful. I have had one cat in the past who had been fostered and I will always be grateful to that lady for taking care of my little Casey before I could

my cat, bailey, was rescued from a hoarding situation along with ~10 other cats. he was the oldest of the kittens, being nearly a year old. totally feral. i'm eternally grateful to the sweet, sweet local shelter who took him and his siblings in and gave me and my family such a beautiful kitty

The ones saying "me" are completely missing the point...This is not about celebration of self, its about acknowledging the hardwood and love of those who foster, which easily goes unnoticed.

My cat was a feral kitten. I rescued her. She's still hard work and now 11 years old, but seriously, feral kittens make the most affectionate of all cats, even more so than "domesticated" offspring, I found. They're just very special in how they relate.

Right now I'm taking care of a cat saved from NYC streets, now is 13 year old, living in Norway since his howner moving back to Norway. Very touching story.

You are a Man, sir.

this reminds me of my cat 😅

I feel so discouraged I have a mama cat and 2 babies she brought us her babies and we have made progress but I see videos lime this and it gives me hope..should I not keep food out and feed them on a scedule so they have to come to me to eat??? I am taking them to get spayed next week and they will be in a recovery cage what should I do with them when there inside for recovery ery???

@@mercy6305 don't feel discouraged, you're doing excellent. Ask the vet what to do. This RU-vid video is great but this guy has tons of practice. Ask a vet, you're on the right track !

Now that it’s a month later...? 🐱 ❓

yeah how is she, the people want to know!!

How is the kitty??

The one thing that Mr. Flatbush might not have realized is important is TALK to the new kitties. Tell them ANYTHING, How your day is going, how GREAT they are, what their NEW LIFE will be like. Talk, talk, talk. Kitten Lady explains the importance of talking to your spicy kittens. Look up the Kitten Lady. I give FULL CREDIT to Kitten Lady for helping us to socialize a 14 month old cat. Our Nakia is a treasure!!!

how did it go? it's been 3 months

Once you get it it really gets turned on. If I'm sitting or laying down there's a cat on me.

That's y I love the cats. Cuz first you need to win their trust. As you rightly said it's a great feeling.

Awesome!!!💗💗💗

I had similar experience but with being a cat person; no experience with dogs, only cats. Then I met this nice homeless dog that knew not to chase cats. I adopted. We had 11 years together. I had to study a lot about dogs though; cats are more independent, and need different type of care. I had to learn things about dog's body language that am sure would have been obvious if I had spent time with dogs as a child. To me cat's body language felt obvious. But now I love both cats and dogs👍

That's the magic of cats right there. I'm happy for you that you found it too.

@@Sienisota Thats beautiful. Goes to show you that even the smallest of animals can teach us so much.

Are farm cats normally aloof around humans? If so, is it because they mostly go out on their own, catching vermin and stuff without interacting with/relying on humans?

@@thenoblepoptart Farm cats where im from and certainly in the us sleep in the barn to keep the mice away. So not much socializing with humans

@@bigbelix same goes for any cats you run into in the countryside. We had a big farmer's field behind us growing up. My brother & I made it a point to head out to any cat we saw going through it with some cheese & a saucer of milk or water & try our hardest to coax it to come get some food & a petting. Worked 3/4 of the time. One cat specifically would routinely show up to our property 4-6x a year, sometimes with her new litter of kittens in tow. She got so comfortable with us she'd wait at our front door & meow til we came out & said hi. They were usually relatively skittish, but not terribly so when they saw how she interacted with us so naturally. Good memories. I really miss living in the countryside.

@@bbbbbbb51 Seems to me she knew where to offload her offspring when it was needed and to whom was the best to care for them. Bless you for being there when you were most needed.!

Heh, took me a single day for the little bugger I almost ran over. She would meow for me to come back.

LOL, my girl too! We rescued her from the streets of the Bronx, but she enjoys the comfort of mealtime back scratches. 😻

They're all different.

My two cats run to the bowl when They see me near it and wait to be pet before they eat. Definitely social eaters.

Lol, yeah I have some outside cats at home and two of them, they're brother and sister, and they really like to be loved on while eating.

@@lucidonoccasion5012 Good luck! My formerly feral kitten is now 11 years old, still grateful to be my best pal.

@@bonjovirocks24 We couldn't CATCH her. Not that we were trying particularly hard. We lived in the country, so a multitude of cats wasn't exactly a problem.

That's a great way to look at it. I need to embroider that on a pillow or wall plaque.

@@MinNeetheCalicoCat u are such an amazing person for helping others

There's nothing on RU-vid as fantastic and professionally done as this channel.

Hi phly, do you have or are willing to have one? (Some people watch this because why not but I m curious for your reason) ps: love your vids

Hi Phly

Phly on da cat video what will he say

Woah. didnt expect you here. NOICE😄

thats cute

Cuteness is cats currency

You know in this case i believe the cat adopted you. Nothing wrong that

Shadow is a good name. I rescued a house panther last year who was always hiding in the shadows, then became my shadow. The new pet parents call him Bagheera now - Hindi for panther.

@@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134 That's awesome!

You'd love it at my place. I have 5 of the litter of 6 abandoned kittens I raised from eyes closed into adulthood. 1. tuxedo 1. black soft coat 1. black short coat 1. tortoise shell soft coat 1. brindle soft coat. Every day is a joy watching them interact, and there is always a urgent cuddle to attend to. Eric .

@@midgoog2 awwwwwwwww…… yeah I would love it… I have 2 sisters I got from my local shelter… one is a tuxedo and the other solid black… no other color is on her … they have the softest coats ever… they’ll be a year old the 31st of August and watching them grow into the beautiful young adults they are has been a pure joy….

Yes

Me too!

I like calico cats

Thank you Adrien! You are wonderful!

there is something indescribably special about elderly cats (and dogs). best of luck from new mexico

A multiple foster failure??

@@el7jake ^^ yea i don't get what they mean by that either

@@el7jake ​ @Atsushibby96 "foster failure" means someone who fostered an animal and 'failed' to return it for adoption... because they adopted the animal themselves. :)

I am glad you were so compassionate. I can't believe people can do that to any animal.

he also could have just gotten trapped in a trashbag while looking for food.

😭😭

Exactly.. what is this guy on about. It's the easiest thing in the world to domesticated feral kittens

@@randydiebold325 depends on the cat

Most of my cats we found them on our backyard

Wow, you’re an angel for helping so many feral cats.

@@samantha4130 It's not easy so much work and expense. It is a very time consuming endeavor. There's 3 of us and together we have about 150 cats and kittens no one wants.

I almost thought you were talking about an old man, that wouod be wirld

Your a really nice person I mean helping that many kittens? Your definitely a good person

@Абдульзефир We currently have a beautiful fluffy tortie female that just decided out of the blue to come to the hand I held out to her. 2 weeks later she was exploring the house and she's curled on on the arm of my chair as I'm typing this.

@@hagamapama Had this feral alpha male finally decide to become domesticated once he got older.

I'm that one cat, except instead of scavenging, I'm just hungry af

Responsible sibling kitten

I had 4 kittens and one of the them behaves in the exact same way as that kitten even though they were raised in the same time by my family so it's mostly a biological thing . I think that cats have different characteristics

@Darkstar oh I don't know, I've seen many cats behave in ways that aren't necessarily in their catness.

That's interesting. You could be right. 👍😻

Lol I was thinking the same 🤣

He didn’t get smacked🤣 are yous all blind😂 he got scratched a little bit! Look properly

@@fleks_walker9490 lmaooo stfu and just let us enjoy the cute

Love your hearts 💕.

lmao why werent you the one to do that

Same here.

❤ I loved that too.

that was my thought too!! 🤣🤣

Adopt older cats from the shelter, like seniors. They often get overlooked and are just as deserving, and can be some of the most grateful and loving.

This will sound grim, but one of the best things you can do with helping your pets deal with the death of a loved one is bringing them to see the deceased. Animals understand death, and are capable of dealing with it, what's far more stressful to them is someone simply disappearing and never returning.

@@morethanjustasloth5528 This is true!! If your animal doesn't see your body and recognize you are dead they can think you left them behind, which is sad. I think they have the right idea doing fostering. It helps shelters and other organizations that don't have any moreroom for cats. Props to them ❣️☺️ not a ton of fosters out there

@@morethanjustasloth5528 I didn't know and had never thought of that. Honestly more people should know, don't be afraid to tell even if it seems grim, I had seen a woman ask this question online before about her cat and nobody gave this information. Feelings of abandonment can happen in many delicate ways, true.

I think when I’m ready to get a cat that’s my own (not counting my awesome guacamole chip-loving Siamese kitten that someone stole many years ago) I’ll go to an animal shelter and literally ask for the oldest cat they have.

Society is so rundown that a simple, straightforward cat video is the best thing you’ve seen in recent times. How depressing. But I guess I’m depressed too cuz I felt the exact same way

@@TheUncivilizedNation we live in a society

Very true. Very real.

Same I watched this video like 3 times because it's so good

Whats her name💕

@@minnu8255 Millie...

my male cat did something like that when i was sad at all my cat runs and sits on my lap and i pet him and i forget what i was sad about

You named you cat "[male] cat", in Spanish. A she-cat, which would be gata.

@@Fridelain does that matter?

Beautiful beautiful story ❤️❤️❤️

cats live in colonies in the wild and share the duties of parenting. she probably saw your son as a "kitten" who needed to be watched over. she sounds like a sweet thing and I'm glad you were able to give her a happy and comfortable life.

I'm not crying! Really! really...oh man.

O, totally agree! The little black and white reminded me of my departed, much loved and still grieved (2 yrs) Spike. Got to donate to give all these little sweeties a chance.

Keep the tissues away from the kittens ...... they will be shredded. Along with a hanging roll of TP. :0D

This comment can be interpreted in a VERY different way😳😳

@Melanie Hale Oh, so funny! Well, yeah! Desperate times call for desperate measures. During the worst of COVID, TP was worth its weight in gold. :0D Not gonna waste a precious commodity. :0D No cats now. Wish I could. Allergies and with some mobility issues, can't afford having something around the feet and potentially tripping. I miss my guys ..... they were so entertaining and great company ...... especially when I would be trying to complete an engineering design for a class, the one or the other of them, if not both, decided that they just HAD to keep me company by stretching out across the sheet of mylar and swipe my drafting pencils. :0D That was when I would employ a good dose of catnip ..... all I had to do was open the jar and they would come running ...... the little one would help himself ..... he would just dip a paw in and scoop out some nip, consume and then race around the house ducking invisible zeros and eventually collapse under the coffee table and sleep for a couple of hours ...... the big one would wait for me to give him some nip (the laid back gentle beast that he was) and then he would quietly zone out ...... too dignified for the craziness of the younger ..... he usually would go into the upstairs bathroom and lounge in the sink ...... once he got himself comfortable he looked like he was in a lounge chair ..... belly up, back feet up and over the side of the sink, tail tangling between, one "arm" resting on the front edge of the sink ..... the other laying across his chest ...... the only thing missing was a kitty sized portable tv and tiny can of beer ...... gee I miss those guys (had those guys back in the late 1980's ..... wow 30+ years ago)

Sometimes it doesn't.

@@downtownbillyandthenewjivefive sometimes what doesn’t?

@@SarahLJP Sometimes it doesn't take time and patience. Sometimes they gravitate towards you with no impetus.

@@SarahLJP Also, hi neighbor. :)

Actually only patience. The time element is included in the patience notion. We kittynapped too a feral one from a neighbor living in the hills. Just a blouse over the head, no complicated set of traps and waiting. It was hungry enough, to come out from under the logs in jut few minutes. And man, when I grabbed him to wrap better the blouse I learned what is like to have a grenade exploding in your hand. And then just let him starve for three more days in a wood box, actually a mini bee hive we used as a bench. No time waste on him. He learned on his own that that we are masters there, and the food smell coming regularly taught him the rest. When we opened the box he was fully tamed. No more explosions, and no grudge for being left to starve. And he never left our yard, except the regular rounds around. I still have a picture of him, old and lazy, sleeping in a pot above the stove..

Perfect comment. I could not agree more.

Yes and calls them the crew, too.🤣😻

You can watch kitten videos from sihal and dihein world

cats, not "animals" we don't know what his diet is or what else he does

@Nic Bai The implication is that if you're not vegetarian or vegan, you don't respect animals. 🙄

I have a much better method. Grab them, put them in a small room with nowhere to hide, sit in front of them, set the food down, wait a few minutes for them to come to you and eat it, and if they don't, they starve. Either way, the little shits aren't a problem anymore.

@EARTH bruh
