Stray Cat Chooses His New Mom And Now Copies Everything His New Brother Does | The Dodo 

Indeed 👍👍👍👍👍

When my daughter picked up her cat on the street, I told her we would have to find another home for the cat because we already had two cats and lived in a small apartment. For the next three days that cat slept ON my daughter almost all the time. That’s how we ended up with three cats. 😂

@@favforsue 🤣great mom you are!👍👍👍👍👍

I know, right! It really is the best!!!

Absolutely!!!!

AMEN!! You are so right.🐕🌼🐈

So well put! 👏

@ guy Yes! Very well said 🌷

@@teagoldleaf4137 im really starting to doubt that majority of cats usually are forced to socialize and forced to eb indoors cats are always leaving cause they are outdoor pets

He is a beautiful black and white spotted, but not a tuxedo. Honestly not trying to be one of "those correcting people". Just thought you would like to know.

Yes, and I'm surprised he wasn't scooped up at the tnr, he's so friendly. But anyway, really good ending for him

Can you please tell me what a TNR is?

He probably got a taste of the indoor life during his TNR and wanted more of it

and that's how you end up with a cat!

@@MobiusBandwidth That's how I end up with half a dozen cats...

yes, they call them barn cats too, mine was like that, the most amazing intelligent cat ever.

My adopted cat came from a TNR rescue too but he definitely was not feral since he has such a sweet personality so they put him up for adoption. He sadly was either abandoned or lost his family since he didn't behave like a feral cat.

This good he is neutered but there is no other solutions to clipping ear ? It's cruel

@@neortik7 this is the first time I adopted a cat from a TNR group to learn of this practice of ear clipping. I do not know why they think this is the only way to identify a feral cat if it is trapped again. It is cruel and I learned from discussion in other another country they tattoo their ear instead.

@@neortik7 Retired vet here... In the past tattoos were tried, but they weren't practical. Often you can't get close enough or pick a feral up to see a tattoo. Ear clipping is the easiest way to see the neuter status in a feral cat colony. It's just the tip and done under anesthesia. It heals fast and it's not terribly painful.

It’s a shame they put this one back on the street when he was so obviously tame and adoptable and wanting a home.

@@eh1702 I have a TNR that showed up in my backyard. Now lives inside and is the most affectionate cat that I've ever had.

@aGreyMine I sometimes wonder how many settled neighbourhood pets get caught up like this. And by the way, research shows that neutering the males only makes them vulnerable to being driven out of their hime area by the young up-and-coming intact (testosterone filled) males from the adjoining neighbourhood. To be effective, catch neuter and release has to be on a really big, citywide scale. And it needs to prioritise females.

​@@eh1702 Unfortunately it's not always that easy. Shelters are overfilling and since he was trapped before he is a bit older and god knows how long he was out there before they first found him. He managed well on the streets since he had no injuries of any kind, he was dirty but still had somewhat good weight (someone probably fed him), and I'd rather see him choose his own human like he fortunately did than having him end up in a shelter, potentially being mislabeled aggressive or feral and ultimately euthanized. It's a difficult topic. I personally think the cats that should be taken into the shelters are the ones that cannot survive on their own due to injuries or medical issues or their territory causes them to be in constant danger. Sure I'd love every cat to have a roof over their head but the sad reality is that this is only something we can continue to dream of with the capacity that the shelters hold.

THANK YOU for your love and kindness of cats. 3 months ago a stray found me. Instantly I knew it was meant to be. Even after it was found this black cat had an eye infection, TNR cut left ear, missing a canine tooth, and was FIV. I’m still slowly trying to get my resident cat to accept him. He’s a snuggle bunny and follows me everywhere. I won’t give him up for anything! 😊

Super chilled

Same!

My rescue cat adopted my dog before he adopted me. LOL

I always feel in this situation I wish the people would look into who has been feeding a local colony, and let them know they took him in. It would do them good.

Absolutely🐄 😺

You got that right!!!

@@nancym1850 My boy Angel was like that with Trinity (he is named Angel after Angel in Buffy). I brought her home as an 8 week old rescue and he was cleaning her in less than a couple minutes. He was so gentle with her and realised how small she was and he really raised her. She's 12 now and he's 14, wow, where the time has gone. But I thankfully still have kitten footage of them. I was really concerned, I knew she'd be ok as a kitten but he had the house to himself for 2 years so I didn't know how he'd react, but he just wanted to be friends instantly. And then I realised it's just the way he is, as he has also met my sister's two adult cats a few years later, and they hiss like crazy at him and all he wants to do is be friends with them lol.

@@teddym2808 🥂 Here’s to Angel and Trinity ❤

I've got six cats that all spend time in a giant kitty pile cleaning each other... I call it their "Pride"

@@nicolesymonds2349 Well, that's not to far from the truth. A lion 'pack' is in fact called a 'Pride'. So you can actually get away with that. lol

Ummm I have questions...

Quick thought just popped into my mind after posting this: "Children AND Pets! The VERY best that life has to offer!

Are you a cat lovers
