I tried going to a CAT VILLAGE to cure my FEAR OF CATS 

U may even call me… Feline San

Since Faline has officially joined us cat lovers here are some cool cat facts: •Cats can jump up to 6 times their length •Cats have an extra organ that allows them to taste scents on the air, which is why your cat stares at you with their mouth open from time to time •Some cats are ambidextrous, but 40 percent are either left- or right-pawed •Cats typically sleep for 12-16 hours a day •Cats are able to rotate their supple spines more than many other animals and can twist their bodies to a much greater extent •Cats can recognize your voice. So yes, they are just ignoring you •Cats can move both ears separately and about 180 degrees around •Research has shown that the low-frequency vibrations produced by a cat's purring can have therapeutic benefits for the cat and its owner

Fun fact from a long-time cat person, when a cat looks at you with squinted eyes and blinks slowly, it means they feel safe with you 😊

12:17 sometimes when cats get excited to play they’ll bite you very lightly, if they’re mad it will hurt, if it didn’t hurt, he was just happy

I like how Faline says he's humble right after saying "I am just like you all... but BETTER"😂

out of all the animals, I never expected faline to be afraid of cats

Don’t worry Fal, I volunteered at a shelter, specifically in the cat section for 2 years, and I’m still mildly terrified.

"I've cured my fear of cats." Stinky: Allow me to introduce myself.

The black, orange and white cats (like at 11:50 ) was likely female! Most calico (the color) cats are female! Rarely will a calico be male and will often be infertile if it is a male. Also! Professional owner of cats and speaker for cat body language. All these cats Loved you, not a single one was scared of you or threatened, they all appreciated your existence. Even when they would leave and ignore you, that's actually a cat thing called Parallel Play! This is a bonding experience where they are saying "I trust you to watch my back while I am in your space, and I am enjoying you being here with me!" Also, the ending is so true, because my cat can do a high five trick. She also know uppies (stand on her hind legs), sit, circle (walks in a little circle), and come here all on command.

I used to be scared of cats but I realized some of cats are really calm if you don't act like a threat to them. They are amazing comfort pets as well!

“Cats have an aura of intimidation and sophistication” Yeah, sounds about right- but I’m glad you went out of your way to meet cats and get over your fear!! I love cats and dogs so this video is so great

Help not the ‘My mom was more shocked when the cat came up to me than when I came out’

You've got a natural instinct for communicating with cats considering your fear of them. "Give them space" is a pretty good rule of thumb for all animals, wild or otherwise... and a good rule for most people as well, come to think of it.

Fun fact! “Stinky” is actually likely female! Black and orange coloring are tied to X chromosomes, so in order to have black *and* orange they have to have two, making them a girl :D

Fal is the type of person that would meow back at a cat and wonder why the cat is suddenly hissing at him 😭

Tips for petting cats in future: - Only pet in the direction their fur goes in. They don’t like being ruffled like you would a doggie - Pet only to their mid back and avoid touching stomach unless cat lets you. Some cats are very protective of those areas and no likely touch - Head scritches are effective 99.9% of the time

Faline went from turning himself into a catboy to being in the presence of a cat Edit: ok can everybody stop arguing in the comments about falines pronouns? Faline prefers he/him so that's what I'm going to use, and if some people can't respect that then don't reply to my comment, simple as that, this comment was ten months ago! And if you are religious and don't believe in that type of thing, that's okay, you don't have to support it but please still be respectful guys, some of you are being really disrespectful in the comments of how you are fighting eachother, just keep reply section nice and respectful smh

cats are not built to be fat, it gives them joint pain and makes them lethargic, but also all of these cats are perfect specimens and I would die for them.

Faline the kinda person to say ‘mimimimi’ when they snore

Honestly, having a fear of cats is a fair reason to be a dog person. Some people act like if you like dogs, you need to _hate_ cats, as if it's impossible to like more than one animal. Congratulations on facing your fears, and I'm glad you got to experience the joy of a cat deciding it wants to be your friend! Looking away can also mean they trust you. Or boredom. (I am the same way with spiders. I feared them a lot, and they still make me nervous sometimes, even though I think that they're silly little leggy friends now.)

This cat village is the purrfect area for cat lovers. Thank you Feline San for showing us this, I am now crossing the ocean at 100/mph to go there.

As someone who loves cats with all of my heart, I'm excited to see this video.

faline is the type of person to call a cat a furry

"bro IS the cat village" I CRIED. 7:15

“It was giving ✨fashion✨ It was giving ✨blue dReAmS✨ It was giving ✨kEn💅✨” Best quote ever

As someone who's studied cats I must say, cats all have very seperate personalitys, every cat has a different mind set, a lot of people who don't like or are afraid of cats have had a bad meet up with a cat whos personality wasn't really friendly. So not all cats are the same, some are affectionate, some are not!

10:00 A cat not looking at you it means it trusts you (or doesn't perceive you as a threat). A more explicite gesture to show trust is the slow blink.

Cat fact: cats see you as a bigger feline friend and when you come home from work or school or anywhere they think you went hunting so if you get cat food its a successful hunt if not its not a successful hunt so always make sure you bring cat food!♡ Edit:wow it my first time getting this much likes :D thx!!!!♡♡♡ I can tell you more if you want Also they think they're humans if raised with one or think they're dogs if raised with one too!

I like how he treats the cats like a business transaction 😂

As a cat person and also a dog person that has both this is kinda hilarious bc they both have 2 totally different personality’s and I rly find this hilarious bc I already know how to get cats attention lol- Fun fact bc I think some people (Faline) don’t know about this: The calico cats (3 colored cats-orange,white and black) are mostly females and it’s very rare to find a male calico cat but not impossible lol

as a cat person, im so proud of you, faline. You are helping us with our battle against cat slander.

"it wanted MEEEEEEEEEE to pat it." I just love how exited you are heheh.

I'm a cat person and your interpretations of cats are so fun xD "20 existential crisis at the same time" purrfect X'DDD

fun fact about cats: they see humans as one of their own, but know they're heavy sleepers. Cats are very light sleepers for in case of danger and will sleep with their human to make sure they're protected in case anything happens during the night

I always thought faline would be a cat person

Dog people: “I Wish my dog was a human!” Cat people: “I wish I was a cat!” Me: “I wish I could shapeshift!”

As a 100% dog person, I have no idea how I ended up here, but you are absolutely hilarious. Instant subscription

As a person who is around cats often, I found it funny how surprised you were about literally everything the cats do

This was such a wholesome and funny video!! I loved it tysm! The cats are very cute and your grandma meowing at them is so precious😭

Fun fact! Actually when a cat rolls around you it means theyre saying hi to you!

For someone not used to interacting with cats, you pet them really well. Cats can get overstimulated so if you pet a cat like you pet a dog they can get agitated so good on you for embracing your fear in the smartest strokes possible.

fal’s increased adoration towards cats is honestly so relatable

Aww Stinky felt so safe with you he started a love-bite game ❤ It's understandable for someone with catphobia to be scared of his bite, but don't worry, even if you leave your finger in his scary looking jaw, Stinky wouldn't bite till you bleed. He just wanna play ❤ But as for baby kittens, they tend to bite and scratch hard either because they're still feel unsafe or they don't know how to control their strength. Well, I'm one of their victims. But once they reached teen mid size, they learn to play soft. Their fangs and claws will stop hurting too. They learn to love body massage which is a bonus. Sometimes, when they're content, they'll even allow you to touch their most fluffy part, the tummy ✨ PS But careful with cats with growling or yowling noise, body bent with tails stretch up. That's mean they'll really scratch you cus they're angry.

I laughed out loud pretty much every time you did a shift in tone from wistful/contemplative to aggressively describing the cats. "I couldn't find any trace of him left... Probably 'cause this WIDE FUCCER ate him!"

Okay that first interaction you had where the cat came to you...that feeling...take it...and apply it to literally every time a cat lover interacts with a cat...that is why we are cat people, cause we feel like we have been chosen by the hands of every pantheon in existance when a cat bestows it's love and attention upon us

Fun little tip about cat behavior. When they squint their eyes like that they’re not mad they’re happy. They slow blink to show love or affection and when they’re aggressive or in hunt mode their eyes will be wide open with the pupils dilated. So even if the squinting looks like they’re mad it’s actually the opposite.

nahhh "bc u built like a submarine" was personal lol😂😂

this is why i love cats. dogs see us as gods, and getting them to like you is rarely difficult. cats see you for you. if your vibes are off, *they KNOW.* earning a cats love is one of the best feeling ive ever felt. it never stops being amazing

One of the difference between dogs and cats is that we received a dog's respect easily, but we need to earn a cat's respect for it to be comfortable with you. Once we earned it, it's as meaningful as ever

the thing many people don’t know about cats is the fact that lots of them are very friendly when they see new people. some cats are even just scared, and like to hide. these cats are visited by so many people who want to be able to see and pet a cat. these cats seem very happy because they probably know they’re going to be loved. i have 2 cats, and my first cat (meko) is just so sweet. he’s the cat to just get scared and hide under my parents bed but sometimes he comes down to eat when people are over. meko responds very well to his name, it’s so cute how he trots to you instantly when you call him. my 2nd cat (ash) is pretty different. he’s not much younger than meko, but he’s a lot more.. rude i guess? he likes to be pet only when he wants it. he’ll meow to you non-stop just to be pet for 5 seconds. otherwise he uses his liquid cat powers to avoid being pet. unlike ash, meko loves to be pet by pretty much anyone. either way, unless a cat has had bad experiences, is scared or is just too picky.

Watching this video with one of our gremlins on my lap and feeling very proud. also at 8:08 you understood the catpersons, any cat person wished they were a cat, this is, like, half the reason we love them so much, its jealousy and wishing to be reborn as a cat in next life also they are cute 😊

12:20 I think you got your first love bite from a cat lol. If cats really like you and want your attention they tend to nip, paw or headbutt. I think thats what stinky did! ^^

''Faline is a feminine name with Latin roots. Coming from names like Feline or Felinus, it translates to 'catlike.' Symbolizing anything from cleverness to curiosity, the cat is a lovely, agile animal to help baby sharpen their claws.''

You and cats rlly suit each other with your “im better than everyone” energy lmao. That’s prob y u have more cat ppl viewers as well

2:39 SHES SP CUTE AAAAHHY

faline insulting the cats the whole time is my favorite thing💀💀

I actually have a friend who's deftly afraid of cats; she literally goes into distress at the sight of a cat and walks (runs) away when one approaches. She explained the reason behind it, and it was because when she was younger, one of the cats they used to own ate its own children. So now she's terrified of cats to the point of anxiety

Fal discovering the joys of cats is just really amazing 😭😭❤️

2:22 ah yes, luffy and ken going out

I love how every transmasc has the same phase of wearing tank tops, vests, and big glasses. Godspeed you look amazing

13:36 fat shaming a pregnant kitty 😮

I love how the cat at the end who got a whole packet to himself was the CHUNKIEST cat you’d seen so far lol

You have a great sense of humor and timing.

7:10 I think I bust a lung hearing faline call that cat 'convex-shaped'

8:55 so cute man, both the cat and faline look so adorable oml

I'm not a cat expert, but I think the best way to introduce yourself to a cat is to approach it calmly and then just stay a few feet away and hold your hand towards it with one finger sticking out. Cats greet each other with their nose (I've heard) and if it's interested, it will approach you and touch for finger with it's nose and smell you, just like a dog. That way the cat can decide and will not tear you to shreds immediately

6:29 as a cat owner hearing you say this. I agree with you. MY CATS ARE SO BIG AND FAT

13:14 mama just say “ohhhhh 肥” got me laugh my fk ass off💀🤣

I can definitely understand why people fear cats considering they come across as unpredictable if you don’t know how to read their body language, especially since the way dogs communicate is pretty universally known - but once you understand the quirks of cats, like their tail movement, ear movement, posing and blinking theyre such cool animals to hang around

10:25 he looks like a grand wizard that got cursed for 1000 years and will give you a quest that says some shit like " I need help on getting back my old body"

4:36 a super villain was born 💁‍♀

At the end “but can a cat do this? Abbie high five!” Made me wanna link one of Jun and Rachel’s videos with their cats that are so well trained 😂 yes they can give paw and high five lol

I can confirm Stinky just really liked you. Cats don't go after ppl they don't like, they'll pretend you don't even exist. Stinky wanted your love and attention (and food) lol

We had a lab retriever when I was little so naturally I grew up a dog person. All it took was one stray/abandoned calico making base in our tool shed last year to completely warp my view on cats. I started off by giving her food and in about 2-3 weeks it started to come up to me and my sister for pets and belly rubs which felt very rewarding since before she would quickly hide if we got too close. Naturally she had fleas, y'know, being a stray and all so I ended up giving her a medicated bath for flea extermination and went surprisingly smoothly. We named her Mimi and she's been with us since This cat infested video made my day, and my mood is at it's maximum so thanks for that

By the way, those particular cats are fat because tourists feed them too much. Most cats aren't fat. Edit: I just realized that could have been taken as a jab at you and I'm sorry, I didnt mean that.

8:27 "BALLS"

11:28 this cat is a she, not him btw Basically all calico (3 colored) cats are female, there's less than 1% chance it will be male

As a life-long cat lover (my first pet ever was a calico cat, kinda like the cat that first greeted you), I can confirm that cats are: lazy, almost always HIGHLY food-driven, and incredibly snuggly only when they wish to be. You did the tan brother on the steps a solid by just saying hi and walking past, he looked like all he wanted was a nap and all these humans wouldn't let him be lmao

I love how he always sounds so sleep deprived nevermind i read the desc

13:29 I think “he” is pregnant 💀

8:19 And it was another great day of saving the cats -From a fitness routine- You know, i know we all know who she was making a reference to -(Too much bee shorts)-

12:03 I think that one is a pregnant female 🥲

This was an interesting video delivered with affection and humor. I enjoyed the insultingly comical names you gave to the cats. The cats themselves were accommodating and at the same time condescending, allowing you to be in their presence without attacking; clearly, they recognized your naivety.

“I am just like you all, but better. i am humble” true words spoken by feline san himself

They are literally so goofy and silly and just so cute i don’t understand

It's really entertaining that you casually review each cat you pass by LOL

6:14 My cat is actually very skinny and active, but she looks fat because she's fluffy (But I can agree that most cats are fat)

I have never been sooooo jealous of faline San before 😩😩

You should see a Maine coon cat if you thought those ones were big. 🤣 Those cats are adorable though, and congrats on being able to enjoy cats despite your fear! Love the comedy mixed in the video, lol.

7:01 ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE CREATURE!!!!😂

Faline san: fears cats Me with 15 cats in my house:come to my home you will love it

4:52 Meanwhile my cat just eating my fairy lights and trying to take them off my desk...

10:40 sounds like a college student 🤣

9:24 this cat is giving me war flashbacks

You messing with your dog while it has a "not a thought between those eyes" kind of look is comedy genius

I like how you're going to a touristy place in another country to see a "cat village", when basically every village in my country is a cat village 😂

You have an amazing way with words, I giggled many times. The fact that English isnt your first language but you're obviously very skilled with it is so impressive to me as an uncultured American. I don't think I could make a vlog funny for this long using my native language😭

9:42 THIS PART GOT ME WHEEZING 😭

Warrior cats: 0:06 OMG GOT A CAT YAY i hope she will read the warrior cats books- Wait what the fuck its a cat which murders to?.

god I cannot imagine just how brave Faline is. I am terrified of dogs, and I could never go in a room full of dogs, I'm sure I would pass out, god damn hes amazing for walking right into the house of something hes scared of
