“They aren’t eating them, they are hunting them for sport” cats are the cutest little psychos in existence Edit: I don’t why this comment drew cat haters but it did 🙄
People forget that they are descendants of the best predators on earth. In parts of India, Leopards sneak into the city and eat stray dogs. Cats eating dogs. That's wild.
I remember living in a duplex and I volunteered to take care of my sister's 2 cats, Loverboy and Alcazar. LB would find a mouse and Play with until he got bored. Then he chewed on it, dropped it and walked away. Reminded me of eating bacon.
My wife and I have 2 cats, we once lived in a house near an open field, one day it rained and flooded, apparently the field spiders found their way inside through a small gap in the screen door. We woke up in the morning to find hundreds of dead spiders all over the hardwood. They actually stayed up all night killing spiders. They got lots of treats that day.
There are videos on YT with guy's going around to people's farm's with dog's they kill the rat's like it's nothing. I'm talking about 100s of rats within an hour or two. One guy even has a Weasel😂
This is a big reason why cats were domesticated in the first place thousands of years ago. They kept our grains safe when we first started farming, helping us prevent famine and disease. Pretty cool to see them playing that same role again.
@@skycaptain95 Cats are cool, but I'm not sure they're the sole reason we stopped living that hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Surely they played a role in helping us swap to agriculture though, with how widespread and useful they are.
At my house we had a rat and mouse problem since our house was right next to the jungle. I got tired of setting up traps and calling the exterminator, both of which did nothing to solve the problem. Then the dad finally caved in and agreed to get a cat. Never heard a rat squeaking in between walls or in our kitchen again. Plus its welcome to have a new addition to the family,
My friend has a “cat cafe” in her back yard in a really upscale neighborhood in Houston that has a few restaurants nearby. She has a really nice setup with temperature control. Any time a new cat shows up it’s off to the vet for spay, shots, and flea control. The neighbors all stack cases of food outside her garage. They have no more vermin.
I am inspired. It is good to see people that understand and appreciate a cat's value. I am a cat rescuer, been doing it now for 15 years, and I have always loved these awesome gifts of nature. It is so marvelous to hear that there are not only people but entire towns that are starting to understand that having a cat around isn't a bad thing but a great one. the TNR program is one of the best groups to ever be put into place for these outdoor felines. It's horrible to trap them, throw them in a shelter and put them down bc they had the misfortune of being unwanted and underappreciated. I love each and every one of mine and I haven't seen a rat or mouse in yrs. I have them indoors and outdoors and my house is pest free. I don't like the thought of anything being killed, it is a heartless thing, but it is nature's way, so why not have nature work for your own benefit. If that is what it takes for people to realize that cats are invaluable, then I'll take it. The ancients knew it and so should we. Anything in order to bring awareness to folks and get them to stop killing, torturing and abandoning cats/kittens. Thank you, Tree House Humane Society in collaboration w the fine people in Chicago!! Love and admiration from High Point, NC USA.
In Istanbul with a population of more than 15 million, there is no rat problem because of stray cats which people and also the state feed, take care, vaccinate, neutrelize, the cats do their job very well and they are also so adorable. We never call our cats ferals, we love them so much.
I saw that viral video of the black cat being fed on the seafront in Turkey. I knew someone who lived in Malta, and apparently they also have stray cats which wander freely around the city centres, being fed and looked after by locals and tourists, and keeping the rodent population down.
@@oguzb.7033 "feral" is not an insult, we have words because we need words to describe things . feral means untamed, not domesticated, wild. my house-cat catches mice but she is tame, a feral cat will scratch and bite you if you get too close, domestic cats usually purr and beg you to pet them.
@@Burger_pants In Turkey, stray cats are also domestic because people feed them and love them, most of them will let you pet them and they will purr, too, maybe in the US they are ferals because people behave them badly, we respect our stray cats in Turkey. When you see a stray cat ill or had accident in Turkey, when you get it to a veterinary, you won't pay anything because the local government will pay it, a well spent taxes of us.
I adopted a very sick gnarly 'ole tom. I had him desexed and gave him a little holiday at the vet for awhile until he got a bit better. In the next year I nursed him back to health. He was a very sick cat yet still but managed to live another 7 full years. Here's the thing, he was a rat's worst nightmare. He would absolutely torture them for fun until they screamed - if you've ever heard a rat scream you'll know what I'm talking about, then with it screaming he would walk around with it holding it by the neck. I can tell you it emboldened other cats, perhaps showing them 'this is what you do with rats.' Rat problem stopped very soon. How he learnt this behavior only god knows. Over the years he did this many times. I could tell he liked it - he felt like an alpha cat even though his alpha day were long gone. He would prance around swiping other cats and dogs for a few days afterwards.
I'm in Wisconsin and had a mice issue last winter but noticed a huge family of feral cats in an area next to my house. Surprise, surprise, no mice this winter and it saved me money on buying them cat food 🤣🤷🏾♀️. Thanks for the awesome and cute story.
The only time we ever had a rodent problem is when we were not allowed to own a cat because our landlord in Iowa did not allow it. Thank you very much Brad.
I used to have cats when I lived with my parents. No rats. But since my brother made a huge fuss of me having cats, I moved out and now my parents' place has a lot of rats
@@Jim-pq9pm Either or I think Have u seen that one guy that had minks It’s pretty cool and gross at the same time He has a couple dogs that catch the rats / mice that get away from his minks
Normally not a cat guy but after having rats in my previous home, I started gaining interest in them. It's like having a personal exterminator except you can pet them.
@@TotalGAMIX just keep them inside or normally they would play with corpses or birds And most birds will immediately be alerted and run away before it would get it
cat's don't kill rats, they kill mice. rats are much larger than mice and cats are afraid of them, for good reason. the thing that kills rats are "ratter dogs" and ferrets supervised by a professional in the craft.
My kitty detected a budding wasp nest in my walls, in my garden as well as in my neibours yard. He also years ago detected an ant colony which had made its home inside my house
When my house started to have mice, my aunt found a cat and told my mom to take him in. My mom was the type to never want animals, idk what possessed her to take him in and now he's our lovely family cat for 3 years. His pheromones drove the mice away just by being in the house, and he was just a baby!
First I thought you are joking but you are actually serious. I agree, it would be easier to see a cat in the dark. But the problem with the vests is that they make it harder to catch a rat/ mouse.
@@Scythra They said in the video that the catching of the rat/mouse isn't the point. It's the cats spreading their scent that actually keeps the rats/mice away.
@@katiewyatt4399 It's both. The cats are killing and eating some of them that they never see. I keep several feral cats that I've tamed just for these purposes. That food isn't enough to keep them fully fed. They'll be eating some of their kills but obviously not all. Cats just instinctually hunt even if they're not hungry. That's why you'll occassionally see a dead mouse or rat they didn't want to eat but overall I believe they're killing a lot more than people realize. Sure their scent helps and many male cats who are neutered will still spray a bush or places outside to claim the area but don't think they're not hunting. Some cats can't help but hunt. When you see them roaming the night looking around they're hunting.
@@pookiehoney I read a report that, in short, said felines, wild and domestic are sociopathic. However, they are, without a doubt, top-tier natural exterminators.
This is how cats originally became domesticated Rats were getting into and destroying food supplies Then someone noticed that cats kept the rats in check and as such realized that having cats around would be a good thing
@@hollydavis06 I don't think illiterate supply house workers were performing expensive operations on their raggedy street cats. Considering we're referring to their historical use, not modern.
Years and years ago I worked as a delivery driver for a wholesale produce company. Mr. Pete, the old owner who would sort the tomatoes would always feed a small army of cats every morning. We were located at that time on an old railroad siding in Baltimore. Talk about rats. But we never really saw any because the cats did such a great job.
Yup we need to do this with people too, back in the days if you hurt a cat in anyway you got killed for it they where that important for the food fields, gold and milk whatever they wanted was theirs.
@Anorallis A You haven't seen our cats then. Hahaha They do eat them when they don't have much choice. It's particularly appalling when you hear the crunch with the breaking of the bones. After that you'll end up just seeing a mouse head or the guts. 🤮😂
@Anorallis A I try to tell my cat this!!! But he eats them. He starts head first.... some times he does not finish the rest. He is well-fed. I have to buy special diet food so he can loose some weight. Doc says he needs to drop a couple of pounds (8). But noooo.... lets ALSO eat the rats, and mice.... and some lizards (not any rare lizards, we have these ones in droves)
I have 4 cats and they caught 20 mice 2 winters ago in my house lol. Some mice are brave lil buggars. They chewed a hole under my porch into my kitchen wall and then chewed a hole by my stove plug and would sneak out for food at night. I even have a video of my siamese cornering one in my bathroom and the mouse is swiping screeching at him and my cat actually backs away lmao. I had to grab it by the tail and release it miles away. And the porch they entered from is my cats porch, aka their litterbox area/cat trees/cattio entrance.
Sometimes... There is a particular parasite ( in the rodent) that causes the rat ( attracted to the smell of cat urine ) to surrender itself to the cats because it can only be incubated in the felines intestines...
Indeed, cats are very beneficial. The feral cats who were trained by mom are the best. One night I watched on security camera, a mama take her kittens hunting. Was so cute. Mama saying Hush!
I have lived in the same house for 30 years. We never had a rat issue until 2020 when they showed up in a herd. I set traps and killed 14 and they still kept coming. Chewing holes in my ceiling and leaving poop droppings everywhere. I went to the Shelter and purchased me a cat and within 3 days the rat issue was gone. It feels good to have my house back and I owe it all to a cat.
We started to have issues with mice. Before getting pest control which was charging us more than $2,000, we noticed a feral cat always close by. Realized it was living under our house and little by little no more mice. Ive been feeding it everyday. If im late, itll sit in my backyard. Saved us thousands Edit: We had named it Jasmine thinking it was a Girl, lol. Turns out it's a boy. But he already responds to Jasmine so why bother changing it. He finally let me pet him today, just for a few seconds. My dog and Jasmine have met and there hasn't been any issues with them. Update: He is still with us! He has grown so much. He's a beautiful cat! Kiddos wanted to leave his name as Jasmine. He's still catching mice! He has left about 3 mice dead/half eaten on our porch lol
@@annaleview5235 He is part of the family now lol. Every morning when I go outside to feed my chickens he crawls out from under the house and waits by his bowl for his breakfast.
Makes me think of when a cat literally just decided he lived in our house and I wanted to call it Aragorn but was told no, it's a girl cat so call it Arwen. Then we took "her" to the vet several years later and it was confirmed that I had been right all along and she was in fact a boy. Hilariously, right in front of my mom this random lady at the vet walked up to him and says "What a handsome boy! And I can tell you're a boy because you're a big boy!" I miss him, he was so sweet.
Who says they don't? Of course I dont mean a physical board with scores, but I think it's pretty plausible, they know, among them, who is the best hunter and who got more preys...
@@fjk1728 Thank you for your stupid comment. Blaming cats for birds, reptiles deaths and the damage of the entire ecosystem is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. You are the one that damaged ecosystem but now blame cats? Shameless people!
Amazing how even though they are domesticated Cats still have the heart and mind of the big cats like Mountain Lions, lions, Jaguars, panthers, Caracals, Bobcats, leopards, Tigers, Servals, and African Wildcats
They were domesticated for the purpose of killing rodents so it tracks that they ought to be good at it. Only in the last century did cats become companion first and mouser second (or in some cases the people don't want their cat to catch animals at all).
@@bailechuind6194 okay, while some of those statements you claimed may be partially true, that doesn’t mean that the cats do not scare away any rats or mice. If you were to simply watch the video, you would know that the mere presence of a cat would frequently be enough to drive rats and mice away and into another area to settle. Furthermore, while cats may not want anything to do with mice or rats due to a disinterest, that does not mean that they do not have the dexterity of capturing said rodents. Cats have insanely fast reflexes that are several times faster than those of humans that could even give dogs a run for their money. They are also natural hunters as many of their primal instincts are still ingrained within their minds from their relatives in the big cat family. Moreover, while terriers are frequently used in mousing and rat capturing, the manner in which you have stated your argument claims that only dogs are utilized in the sport which is most definitely not the case as numerous farms and homes use cats instead of dogs. Honestly, I could go on and on. So please conduct thorough research before attempting to prove someone wrong. P.S. if you’re going to insult someone, please make sure that your slurs spelled correctly. Also, your grammar and punctuation could use a little work.
She had a cat problem. Ha ha! Kidding! I live in a rural area where a lot of farmers actually can adopt farm cats from the shelter. The cats are ones who are not tame enough to adopt out to families. Farmers keep them in their barns to keep rats and mice away from the feed.
They're called Maine Coons because the breed originated in Maine . Maine coons are a mixture of a long haired domestic and Norwegian forest cat . They never came from England .
Old house I lived in had a horrible rat problem. One day a stray cat just kinda showed up. Very friendly for an outdoor cat so assume was a barn cat. Just kinda started chilling around the place, on the porch and stuff, never tried to come in the house. Ever since it showed up rats just vanished lol
My daughter had a rat problem at her house. She got 2 farm raised kittens about 2 months old 3 years ago. The rat problem was taken care of in an expeditious manner.
@@abrahamaguilar9444 Our house cats killed mice for sport. We didn’t have all the fancy toys for them. They left them on our front porch for us to see the next morning and then received a cat treat. Lol
They say cats are the only animal that domesticated themselves. They came to us because food always seemed to be around, from us as well as rodents. Over the years a relationship was developed and still to this day.
It makes sense. Humans would store large amounts of food which inevitably attracted rodents. The cats followed the rodents into our farms and villages. I guess our ancestors realised pretty quickly that cats kept rodents away without eating the stored food so they started letting the cats stay in settlements and feed them. Things probably developed from there.
True! I've also heard that cats have not truly been fully domesticated, but in the last century we've started breeding them more similarly to canines for neotinization and temperament and so on. It's interesting to think about what the species will be like a century into the future.
@@KomicalFox This is a highly debated topic because in contrary to dogs cats have not changed their behavioural model (dogs did, completely). Yes, city cats tend to skip the hunt to either dwell on the dumpsters or beg humans for food, but this is nothing but a display of intellect. On the other hand, anyone who's been around cats for long enough would confirm that cats are very social and emotionally attached to their "colony", humans and other animals (dogs included) in the house. With humans, it is very typical for the cat to select one person to be most attached to, usually, it is the "food provider", seemingly because such "food provider" is associated with a mother, but it is also usual for cats to select a random person, especially in the large families. This type of relations cannot be described with a word better than "love". The most anecdotal case I've seen by myself has in the family that had been keeping both dogs and cats for generations and when I've met them they had a young cat that has been brought up by a german shepherd, but that doggy has been brought up by two cats that were already dead, and those two cats were brought up by a mongrel dog. It was very funny to watch.
It's mind-boggling to me how more places don't follow the example from Turkey. Just take care of outdoor cats and let them police the rodent population.
The best hunter is a well-fed cat. It's the law of diminishing return at play. Since the cat is fed, they don't have to hunt to have the energy to hunt.
I lived out in the sticks, and had a HUGE mouse problem. A stray momma crawled under my back porch one day and had a litter of kittens. I started feeding them, and even though momma scooted the kittens stayed. I have video of the one that socialized the best battering a mouse around the backyard. Cat food costed way less than all the traps I was buying. 😊
I worked in a couple of machine shops & a warehouse that kept a few cats “on the payroll”. I actually saw a guy get fired for throwing something at one of them. The boss said “it’s an employee, just like you except it does a better job”. They did drastically reduce the rodent population, gotta say.
I feel like there's two perspectives to be had here, though I'm certain the boss was in the right. Cats tend to be meddling assholes and probably shouldn't be around fuckin' lathes and shit.
@@heckssoda588 totally agree. Couldn't figure out how none of them ever got caught in a machine, got cut up in a saw, run over by a fork lift, etc., but none of 'em ever did.
Even though they’re technically outside cats the fact they still have their own little mini cat homes that are heated to 72 degrees is amazing these cats may not get as much attention as other house cats but they are still treated very well and they have amazing cat lives compared to if they were stray cats with no one looking after them.
cats are amazing predators, my family rented a Northern Illinois farmhouse when I was a kid from 1987 to 1992, shortly upon moving in the property which had evergreen trees in the huge yard and surrounded by corn and bean fields on each side my brother and sister discovered this female cat among the trees, our family accepted this outdoor cat with open arms, one Saturday in early 1988 i was bored and went outside and the cat started following me, I venture down to the old corn crib barn on the property I went inside and the cat followed me, shortly there after the cat ran into a dark corner and pounced on something, then came back into the light with a mid sized mouse in her mouth, I was stunned and watched the cat kill and consume the mouse right in front of me, I have much respect to cats ability to hunt eat and survive
Yes, you can clearly see that those cats love it. That one cat follows his owner while they are on their walks, they come when called if they are in hearing range but they also look very well cared for. Cats have different personalities just as humans do and a lot of cats just are outside cats while others are more of the housecats variety.
they are treated better than most american cats, since they are actually allowed to be outside and not locked inside and declawed like most insane americans does it is insane that you can convice yourself that its okay to keep a cat inside and its even more insane that its legal to declaw them in america. cats should be allowed to be free as the predator they are and not kept locked inside, it should be catagorized as animal cruelty to do that.
We have a mice and rat pest for 6 years now. Since one month a street cat has found our neighbourhood. The neighbours are dogs lovers, they don't want her in their garden. I'm the only one luring her with cat food, toys, and a nice sleeping place. Our garden is now officially mice and rat free for two weeks. They have fled my garden completely after she was able to catch two of them. And she's just so patient and loving with my kids❤.
Here's one example of a couple that has their own cats. Notice at the end of the video he says that Chicago has released 1,000 FERAL cats throughout the city. These aren't going to be friendly cats that are cuddly. What's next? Dogs? This is like the story about the woman who swallowed a fly.
I rescued my cat from a rubbish bin unfortunately, his siblings had died, someone had thrown the litter of new born kittens out in a huge rubbish bin at work so it was really sad. I feed my kitten and he grew to a strong, loving, smart, caring cat. I named him Herbie. I had a beautiful dog, cat and three babies. My husband and I worked hard to feed my family their favourite foods. One day, I said to Herbie, Herbie, sorry darling but I can’t afford to feed us tonight, I was joking with him he,he,he, I said to him sorry mate can’t afford any shopping! Anyway, one hour went past Herbie, went outside and came back with a huge frickin rat!! And put it at my feet! Omg! Wtf Herbie! But that’s his way of helping our-family, how awesome was that! I gave him his favourite dinner that night and said to him don’t worry Herbie, you don’t need to bring me a rat, we are okay! 😁😂💗
This is basically how our first cat was living in the country. It would leave birds, rabbits, bats, and mice. We gave her a house, a name, fed her tuna once a day, she groomed herself and loved cuddles. My favorite cat!
We had a serious mouse infestation, and they carried fleas into our apartment. When my roommates arrived with their two cats, we saw a slight decline in bolder mouse activity. But then one morning, I woke up, and there was mouse blood all over the kitchen and a corpse right in the middle like some mouse horror film had been staged there, and we never saw another rodent for two years.
lol I've lived in various apartments over the years, and have occasionally had small intruders. They don't last long, and I've come into the kitchen of a morning to find a headless body in the middle of the floor. It seems cats really like those crunchy heads....
@@hecate235 I've been fortunate to not have a rodent problem in years, but our old cat (long dead now but loved always, RIP Zenobia) used to leave the butts too. :P
I had rats 🐀 in my backyard and in the surrounding neighborhood constantly. I live in the Bay Area in Northern California, and there are restaurants across the street in our downtown area. When I moved here in 2016, it was crazy, these rats were everywhere, even being bold enough to come out in the day time. That was until, I purchased 5 cats from a rescue. By 2018 all of the 🐀 were gone in our back yard, we were finding dead rats in our backyard with broken necks. I love my pride, they don’t play!
I wasn't a cat person until I actually owned one and now I like them as much as dogs, in some ways a lot more. The negative rumors about cats are so wrong!
@@robertallen6710 I agree Robert, they are also evil. Look at all the serial killers and child killers, I studied them in college and almost everyone hurt cats before they moved onto people! If we really wanted to make our world a safer and better place to live we would start punishing these evil animals murders the same way if they had murdered or tortured a person!
@@andrewdwight3443 ok there's a difference between serial killers practicing by killing cats (and also clearly they do not just do that to cats, any small generally defenseless against a human animal can and will be tortured by these kinds of people), and people genuinely not liking cats for whatever reason they have every right to not like cats for. How about you don't start saying people who hate cats or don't want anything to do with them are all secretly serial killers in the making? Like damn if that's all that you got out of your serial killer study in college no way you passed that class 🤡
Also hurting animals before moving on to humans is one of the key points of the Macdonald triad and with cats being incredibly common animals in neighborhoods since they are a very common pet and also the pets that are the least supervised by their owners and constantly let out to roam the streets as they please, of course a lot of serial killers have hurt cats before moving on to humans. There is quite the damn difference between looking for an animal to torture and cats being the most common animal fo find free roaming in a neighborhood and just saying cats are annoying and not the kind of pet you would like or animal you have any chemistry with.
cats are so much cleaner than dogs, i could never have a dog inside the house but a Bengal is the only cat i have inside due to them leaving very little to none hair around.
I remember when I lived in Florida,I brought in a homeless cat and we named him Houdini.When I would see one of those huge palmeto cockroaches in the house,I would tell him to go get it and he would and then eat it.He always did an excellent job.He was a great cat.He lived a long life 7-5-17 is when he passed away.
Man nothing like the palmetto bugs in Florida, they were insane the late 80s. You could touch a palm tree and bunches would fall out of the bark, don't even think of moving a dumpster
can the cats fight he black on black murders too ? the wonderful communist blm isnt doing anything about that . they just murder white people .. oh thats not new is it ?
That's great 'cause exterminating them is probably the worst thing you can do since a lot of lizards, toads and frogs eat them. I've never lived or went to Florida, but hey, buying a lizard doesn't sound all that bad! lol
Cats are so remarkable. Where I live geckos, centipedes, rats and roaches are a common problem. I make sure my habits prevent rats and roaches, but my cats handle the other two critters that come inside from time to time. I try and catch geckos to release them outside because I feel bad if one of my kitties gets them since they can help with roaches, and they aren't harmful aside from their droppings. The centipedes, on the other hand, have a nasty sting and are fast. I've found a few dead carcasses of them on the floor from my cats being good little killers and keeping me safe :)
One of the many benefits of have having cats. The other is if you have PTSD from deployments (my son), depression (other son), or companionship (my daughter & I). We, of course, do not have mice problems now. But when I bought this duplex I had four cat's. Pumpkin would always bring three mice a day to me as presents. The other cats would occasionally bring one in. Now my the cat I do have find one here and one there. The fleas on Rodents caused the black plague because the church killed off the females (witches) and their companions (cats). Females were were called wise because they practice alternative medicine; cleaning the house with a broom. Another symbol. But I always had cats; horse ranch, farm, and my children. Cats also nurture children & teaches them to be loving & responsible adults. My two sons always have cats at home.
Most cats think rats are gross. Non feral outdoor cats really are much cleaner than rats. Cats love to hunt so they really deter rats. I heard rats scratching in my walls. I got an indoor cat who is a good hunter. She doesn’t like to be outside but I take her on a walk around my property once a week and the scratching noise stopped within a few weeks. My area has lots of farms where the farmers can apply to even get feral cats placed with them for free to keep the rat population down. Our main crops here are lemons, avocados, berries( mostly strawberries) and oranges. Rats love those crops. Having the free roaming cats preserves the crops a lot better and cats are cleaner than rats in their potty habits so you won’t walk through a pile of cat excrement but without the cats, the rat excrement that carries lots of disease is everywhere
4:09 The fact that this man literally is out on the street with them just casually screaming and pointing at rats and stuff and unleashing the cats to go get them😂😂😂😂
Let me ask a question, your parents let a BLIND cat outside? There are many life threatening things for a cat who can see, and a blind cat would be even more danger if it would go outside.
every problem contains it's own solution, that neighborhood found their around the clock solution.cats are very territorial and will stay within its perceived boundaries and make sure any unwanted creatures from rodents to snakes dont take up residence.i have 2 gorgeous main coon cats, they can grow up to 3 ft tall at the shoulder and weigh up to 35 lbs.just love and take care of them and they will give you back so much more.
cats are often the unsung heroes of domesticated animals. they have saved more human lives than dogs ever will. killing rats controls the spread of ancient plagues that decimated the human race. the more cats you have outside your home the less chance you will get mice and rats guaranteed.
Same! My mom has an outdoor cat and she’ll kill rodents and leave them dead in the driveway to show my mom her good work! She can’t stay in the house for too long because she prefers going outside! But whenever she can she’ll sneak inside and slip into whoever’s door is open and snuggle up next to you while you’re sleeping! Then when she wakes up she’ll go to the front door and scratch it until you let her leave! Outdoor cats are the best! They’re attached to you, but after a while they’re just like ok I’ve had enough of you for today release me to the world you peasant 😂
@@izziestevens5835 same as my cat growing up. He was a HUGE Persian cat. But when he would go out. Other neighborhood cats would assemble and they all walk off together. It was hilarious. Only saw my cat fight another cat in there pack once and it was more a "put the new cat in his place" moment. He used to leave my home snd roam the town streets and cornfield behind my home. He leave "presents" a lot for us at the back door. The presents were always headless. 😏 Crazy cat. He was the kindest cat I knew to this day with small children. Edit: Oh and he loved a dryer full of warm clothes.
Y'know, people don't realize just how OP cats are when it comes to all the little things they hunt. Cats are faster, stronger, and more agile; with lighting reflexes, sharp teeth, and claws. It's not even a fair fight.
My cats are good mousers ( catching them, bringing them in for me and then I have to chase them around....soft mouths), but afraid of chipmunks and the squirrels just laugh at them..pay no attention to them at all. Lately one of keeps bringing me live frogs.
@@CarriUSAIf your cats aren't hunting them, then it's the cats who have decided they're not worth the effort. Those squirrels and chipmunks aren't laughing--they're breathing a sigh of relief. :) Most pet kitties are well feed; plus, there are usually plenty of easier targets to get that hunting fix that all cats need. But cats can definitely catch squirrels and chipmunks; albeit, they are much more challenging prey.
@@CarriUSA Is "soft mouth" an expression? Because honestly that sentence sounds super creepy to a non-American, like you're kissing (or something else...) the soft mouths of the mouses.
cats are the best..some cats need to be outside...I believe they should be inside but if they can patrol your rat problem..bless you guys they are so cute
I adore cats...you are my hero! I work with a group of rescuers and we trap and spay ferals then we get them a 'job' on a farm or stables. That way everybody wins.
Man my cat loved it I didn't like letting him out at nite but he was a predator I went to jail and he started bringing back headless birds to my wife...
@@craigbosko2229 the cage is a TEMPORARY necessity for acclimating new cats to new territories....otherwise you are right...cages can be misused for cats & dogs....and birds!
