I have a black cat and she was a feral cat. Her mother, also black, lives near my house and the mom disappeared and the teeny black kitten showed up on my deck on Halloween. She was whining and crying and very feeble. I of course took her in and the vet said she was five weeks old. I’ve had her for over a year now and she’s friendly and likes to be with me, but she’s not cuddly. Although,when I was hospitalized for a week a few months ago, she spent lots of time in my lap when I got back home. She does sleep with me on the bed most nights. She gets on well with my other two cats, a grey and a tiger. I really love her.❤️
I had a black cat. I got him when I was 8. We grew up together. Near the end, I was away for college. He got sick while I was gone. I came home for Thanksgiving break to learn he wouldn't eat or drink. But still alive. I sat and he pulled himself on my lap. I helped him and removed his collar. My best friend died on my lap. He waited for me to come home to say goodbye
I agree. I have a Halloween cat Boo. He always likes to be touching ya if he’s laying by you. Also he stretches out his front arms and crosses them over me. (It’s adorable) He also likes to lay his head right against me like he’s giving me a hug.
exactly, I have had many, many cats throughout my life and none of them was vicious towards anybody, and they all had gone through a lot of trauma before I adopted them
🌷♥️🌷My kitty Spooky is 15 years old and very sweet and loving. She’s also a great hunter, until I brought her inside the house 24/7. I let her out sometimes if the weather is good, but she likes it inside too 🌷♥️🌷🐈🐈⬛
We have black cat with white on him he has socks on his 4 paws are white Malcolm is a stray cat we took in I keep thinking maybe we should have named him socks with his 4 little paws
In Scotland Black cats are considered good luck. We certainly were blessed with a beautiful stray Black cat who after obvious abuse chose us to live with. We called him Zuki short for Suzuki as he purred like a motorbike. He looked like a mini panther. Then our adorable Tabby Widget we were drawn to in a rescue centre.He really chose us howling evey time we walked away. He had been thrown from the top 17th floor of highrise flats he had some brain damage and a broken palate. You would expect him to be frightened but he was the most affectionate cat who knew I was pregnant even before I did never leaving my side for the 9 months. The 2 made excellent baby sitters when we had our eldest daughter amazing since they were both male they were so gentle and loving rowards this new wee bundle.THen again with our 2nd daughter. Now after 20 years of having the best years with them we have our Turkish Angora Tuxedo cat. He is another rescued furbaby who adores everyone. He lost his adopted mummy our King Charles Cavalier Evie and grieved her. He has bonded with our 2 other dogs now and still thinks he's a dog at times! All our furbabies are adopted and all have been incredibly affectionate.ia little bonkers!
@@fatpinkteddy I was always brought up with them being Good Luck - I can always remember my Great Granny having a calander with a black cat and horseshoe for good luck. Anyway cats are amazing we had a Ginger Tom adopt us he was gorgeous.
Agreed. My 19 year old black cat (adopted from a farm cat's litter) is extremely affectionate and clingy, always has been, and is so loud. So very loud. He's louder now than when he was a kitten, but even then, he was constantly yelling at me to pick him up and carry him around.
I have a black adopted kitten (11 months) and he is so quiet it's spooky compared to my Russian Blue especially he chirps and squeaks that's about it my nickname for him is squeaky. He is smart, cute, playful and amazingly loving next time I adopt it will be a black cat again we can't get enough of him.@@ArcasDevlin
We rescued our black cat from a very dangerous situation. He was only four weeks old. We were dog people, so we called our vet & our cat people friends to get advice. After our vet explained that a male black was unlikely to be adopted, we decided to keep him. Thackery Binx (Binxie) will be 4yrs next month. He is very dog like, talks all the time, and is a wonderful little companion. ❤️🐈⬛❤️
Missing my baby Catniss, she was a pure black kitty with golden eyes and I lost her last year to kidney disease. It still hurts every day not being able to hold her in my arms and feel her purrs and hear those sweet meows. If I could go back in time and heal her I would. ♥
I hate kidney disease. My Posy died of that and I don’t know why. I’m afraid it might have been the food I fed her. It breaks my heart when I think of her passing. ❤
Me too, internet stranger. I lost both of my girls to kidney disease. Both of them were black cats with amber eyes. I lost Cautious (14 yrs old) a few months ago, in November, and I lost Arian (22 yrs old) then year before. My heart has black paws and it feels like it's been cut out. I'm sorry you have to experience this unique grief too.
A juvenile female feral black cat showed up in my backyard 4 1/2 yrs ago. She decided to adopt ME and has been living with me in my house for 4 years. She is a sweet, loving girl and her name is Raven. 🐈⬛❤️💞
We have a black Male now we've named Raven. He has a black brother named Jaguar (Jag Jag) and a black sister named Mr Kitty. He has 6 other brothers and sisters in the house we've rescued as well but those are the three black ones. 😂😂😂
@@alosialeeWow sounds like you have your hands full 😂. I have 6 kitties total and thought that was excessive. But you know you can't just have ONE cat, at least I can't LOL. Be careful with your black ones around Halloween. People do horrible things to black cats that time of year. So sad what some terrible people do.😢
@@clairestephens4916 while there is a basis of truth in that, it's more of a myth these days and is primarily used now as a scare tactic to help prevent adoptions during that time of year. The primary reason that most places won't adopt out or sell black cats during Halloween now is the same reason more rabbiters and such wont sell their bunnies close to Easter, which is, parents or people buy these animals as accessories or "gifts" for those days, realize it's a lot more work than they figured after the fact, and ultimately abandon them when they're 'done' with them. There is usually a significant increase in rescues needed after most holidays but particularly around Easter, Halloween, and Christmas. And yes I do have my hands full. We are currently in process of getting them all spayed and neutered now and it's definitely been 'fun'. 😂😂😅 But they're all precious and I can't really see my life without any of our furred friends, our cats and our bunnies. =3 Eta: all our furbabies... Raven, JagJag, and Mr Kitty (all black), Crush (orange), Bruce (grey and white), Starfire ('Male' caliby), Arella (female caliby), Cookie (silver bengal), Tater Tot (brown tabby), Pepper (broken otter Rex rabbit), Marco (black otter Rex), Silvermoon (albino mini lop), then the ferals we've managed to help and feed thus far are Wybie (silver Bengal), Coraline (Cashmere bengal), Zero (black floof), Onyx (black short), Ziggy (female caliby), Gingy (orange), Vanilla (orange and white), Lady Tottington (female tortie), Bonnie and Clyde (paired tabbies Male and female though Clyde was sadly hit by a car a few days ago), Cosmo (grey and white), and Burgerz (tuxedo Manx). Of the outside ones so far we've managed to socialize and get somewhat inside Wybie, Coraline, Zero, Onyx, Burgerz, and Lady Tottington.
My orange cat, George, lived 21 years.. Knowing his end was coming, made appointment with vet to ease him out of body.. He decided otherwise, and that morning we were together under the shade of his favorite tree, listening to birdsong, as he passed over. Have 3 Tabby cats now, all with distinct personalities.
I'm so glad his end was peaceful and loving. My wonderful doctor gave us a comfortable chair in a quiet room and told me to make sure we were both comfortable and take my time. I reclined and cuddled her on my chest. She had been lethargic for 2 weeks and at times visibly uncomfortable. For a minute I held her as she purred, just thinking memories and breathing in her fur for the last time. Steve is very gentle and it was quickly accomplished without incident. He wouldn't let me drive home until I placed a cool cloth across my eyes for a few minutes. I hope George and Dancer have met up and become friends.
He was probably suffering for days, weeks or longer but cats can’t verbally explain that to us. When they’re obviously not themselves anymore ask a Vet about euthanasia if they can’t be cured or if the cure is way beyond what you can afford or beyond what a pet should be put through. Especially if the cat withdraws a lot, hides, is inactive or seems depressed.
I have been owned by many cats in the last 60 years. Almost all have arrived on my doorstep as strays and they have all loved us as their owners ( servants) They have been all colours and hair lengths, they all have had different personalities and lived long and happy lives. My Tuxedo (Jellicle) lived to be 23 and is still sorely missed. We are a four cat household, at the moment, all males, two brothers (brown tabby) 1 black long hair and I grey tabby. We love them all dearly, particularly as these will be our last since we are getting old and don’t want to die before them.
You could think about calling one of your local rescue groups-one that has been there for a while. Think about talking to them about being a foster home for some of their animals. That way if anything happens to you, the animals are not yours, they will be immediately taken care of by the group. And it's a great way to help animals that need it! Just a thought! 🧡❤🧡
So true, and everyone of them has such a different personality. My last girl died of old age but she was a man-cat, but loved pets from anyone. Tough girl. My little man loves pets and cuddles and snacks, and playing, used to play with our dog (grandpa dog) before they passed.
Calico Cats are like teenagers. They have mood swings...one minute affectionate, the next minute rebellious. They are smart and lots of fun but they can also drive you crazy. LOL Never a dull moment.
I have a dilute- coat torti girl...small but mighty! She is rather clingy with me now that she's getting a little older (13) and is always vocal. I also have a 6 month old torti-tiger with a beautiful coat...ember orange stripes with traditional dark stripes...she's strong-willed, talkative and very curious about everything and everybody and loves to play. These are the only torties I have known and they are a force of nature compared to any of the male tiger and tuxedo boys I have had....just a different temperament altogether!
I have a black cat, who is 20 years old. I love her to pieces and she misbehaves when she's not getting the attention she demands. The vet is consistently amazed at how healthy she is at her big age.
I had a calico cat that followed me. I would take walks in our neighborhood which was in a large circle. I looked behind me one day and trailing behind me was my cat. It was a hot summer day and her tongue was hanging out of her mouth panting like a dog. I felt she should be where it was cooler so I picked her up and cut through a neighbor's yard to get home quickly. I loved on her and made sure she didn't follow me again.
I just lost my 9 year old calico and she was the sweetest and most agreeable cat I’ve ever had. So docile, not moody at all and a dedicated lap cat. She was one of a kind, I still can’t believe she’s gone. She was 100% pure love.
@@Dkb522 That is a sad story. I've had many great cats through the years, but my Calico is the sweetest of the bunch. She's now 17+ years old and going strong! I'm sorry for your loss. 🌹😿
My cat Ms. Cautious, a black 20lb tortie who passed away 2 weeks ago. She was a rescue we had for the last 8yrs. Her age range was 12-18 yrs old. Cautious was very vocal from the moment she woke up until bedtime, smart, great hunter, friendly and was in everybody's business. She slept next to my head every night, she was my buddy. My house is so quiet now. I really miss her.
Dear internet stranger, I also had a cat named Cautious. I haven't met anyone before who also had a cat called Cautious. She was a beautiful black cat and she died just a few months ago, on 23rd November. Cautious was about 14 years old (she was a stray with a litter when we first crossed paths). We had "looking for a lap" written on her urn as she was constantly seeking out a spot on our laps. She was skittish with strangers, but absolutely attached to us as we were to her. The year before, on 22 Jan 2022, I lost my other beautiful black cat, Arian, at age 22 (I know, ancient for a cat). I'm very sorry for your loss. The house definitely feels so strange doesn't it? Animal bonds and loss - a unique love, and and a unique grief. I miss them so much.
I have a ginger cat who is crazy social. Not needy or clingy, but curious to meet new people and get pets from them. He greets all guests to our home and he will also hang out by the sidewalk and say hello to people walking by. 😻 He is one of a kind!
I have been adopted by an orange, a dark grey, and a sweet siamese. I love them all. Having had many cats, I can attest that they are among the best of pets.
I have a black cat and I cannot believe how cuddly she is. Affectionate like a puppy, follows me everywhere and wakes me up by purring in my ear. One tiny fur ball of love. :)
We lost our black cat last year, that we took from a friend because it was being bullied by two new cats, sadly we only had her for a couple of years, but we feel that we gave her a nice end. We since got another black cat from a rescue centre, and she's lovely, she's playful, inquisitive, and quite chatty, we wouldn't be without her! She had been at the rehoming centre for 3 months, because she had been overlooked, other people's loss was our gain!
I knew a Tuxedo cat who appointed himself the neighborhood ambassador. He was intelligent. And social. Each morning he would go to every house on the street and greet the people there. If the door was open, he would go inside and even upstairs to find the person and greet them to help them start their day with a warmer and happier heart. He would also sit in the middle of the playroom with three toddlers playing all around him. Quite the social guy! My calico was phenomenally loyal to me, and very intelligent. I once watched her study every detail of a painting for 20 minutes straight, so she was also an art aficionado.
I have a back cat nobody wanted. I took him and he is such a good cat! My daughter has a calico cat and she is very affectionate. Both are beautiful, wonderful and loving!
I have a 9 month old black male and he is such a sweetheart. I also just lost my 9 year old calico and she was the most docile, sweet cat I’ve ever had. I also have a ginger boy and bengal girl and they are the moody ones.
Our 3 black cats are loving and playful. They sleep with us every night and guard us. We are their extended family. They purr for us when we are sick or sad. My little girl even growls at people passing our windows yet runs when someone knocks on the door.❤❤❤
I was rescued by a beautiful black cat 3 years ago. She is so sweet and gentle and goofy, one in a million. She likes to lick my hands like a dog would . She can be playful but has to be really engaged in short play sessions as she gets bored quickly. She likes to sleep on my legs at night, next to the dogs. I couldn’t imagine life without her, she is the most healing entity in existence ❤
I have a black cat that I adopted at 2 months old and I'm retired and spend alot of time with him daily. He is indoor and outdoor and I've been able to teach him to climb trees and to be able to get back down with no problems. This amazes me because the other day he climbed a popular tree straight up about 65 feet and stay there for a while then gracefully was able to climb back down. I love my cat!!! I have had cats all my life, but this is the first that I've gotten so close to him we are inseparable. Thank you for your video.
My orange girl is still young, she is the most affectionate cat ever and I had quite a few cats this far. If I want to cuddle with one of our 4 cats, I choose her :) The others are lovely too (even the calico who is a drama queen and acts like she dislikes attention but it's clearly just an act. she isn't sharp enough to see her signs aren't consistent ;) ) but they prefer a quicker hug. By the way, we thought 3 cats is enough (we still do). Then the ginger kitten came and didn't accept no. And I have a heart and a love for ginger cats... So we were doomed :) And now I have a cuddlebug!
Stray calico came into our home and birthed a ginger, a black tabby, a tuxedo, a calico, and a white with a black tipped tail. All so different! The cat dispersion unit gave us a variety pack!!
I have a female grey tabby cat this is about 4 years old. She is big for a cat but she is loving and great with kids. She definitely has a personality. Love her very much.
I adopted my 4 year-old black cat from a city shelter in July 2023. Funny thing was we really just adopted each other. I worry because she often cries in her sleep and wakes up crying. I always ask her what's wrong just so she also hears my voice and then she will curl up with me and I'll pet her back to sleep, She is the most affectionate and loving cat I've ever seen, she loves to be loved, touched, petted and talked to. I kept the name the same as the shelter named her, she is my sweet loving Ravioli.
My cats: Tuxedo: very affectionate and chill; Torti: very chatty and active but sweet; White: a clown and extremely affectionate; gray: calm..sweet…perfect; tabby: loving but can be fractious. They are all so different and I love them all dearly! ♥♥♥
I have an orange cat. He is the most curious cat ever and will easily go to strangers in order to be petted. Very affectionate and sweet. And yes. He loves being outdoors.❤
I have a black and tabby both brothers. Your observations were spot on especially the black one being very vocal. Rescuing a black cat was not even a slight consideration. I am so glad that I rescued Rhum and Coke
I'm happy you enjoyed the video! 😸 Black cats often face unjust stigma, so it's heartwarming to know they have a loving home with you. Rhum and Coke sound like great companions, and it's clear that you cherish them dearly. Keep giving them all the love and care they deserve!
My late white cat had feline acne and it was due to the type of materials his water and food bowl were made of. It's better to have ceramic or stainless steel bowls so the food doesn't cling to it and then get embedded in their chin fur.
I have owned a lot of cats in my life. I grew up on a farm, and this was when getting cats fixed, was not a thing yet. We had every colour, and even different breed mixes, but as a young girl then, i always had memories of all the ginger males. They just seemed to want affection from us. They loved to cuddle. I currently have a male ginger, hes the sweetest boy.
I have a ginger and white cat called Jeffery, which is the name he was called before I got him from my great niece, he was hand reared so is very friendly but also quite lazy if you dangle string or try to get him to chase a toy he absolutely ignores it. (he takes after me in that respect you see) He's also quite demanding (unlike me) if you ignore him too long he soon makes sure you know he's there, but there's nothing he likes more than bed time when he curls up across my shoulder, in fact he try's to dictate when bed time is but he's definitely the boss when its time to get up. I love my cat...
I have loved cats my whole life. We have 4 now, 3 tabbys and a black cutie pie we saved 4months ago. And they all get along and are indoor, clean and happy ❤
Years ago I helped feed a colony of stray (not feral) cats who were all TNR'ed. The smartest one I ever knew was OJ (orange of course!) who was the Alpha male. Once he didn't appear for a couple days, then showed up at my door looking for me. He had a fever and one ear was badly swollen from an infected bite. I took him to the vet who said he was "very stoic" when they cleaned the wound & gave antibiotics. He was fine, and I felt honored that he knew I would help him.
My tortie, rest her soul owned me. Hisser, biter, playful, mighty huntress, very jealous of new stray I rescued from a gutter, and the most demanding cat I've lived with. My stray tabby is all you say. Very active and chasing off wandering cats until she got Lyme. She has recovered with a no grain diet but has arthritis type symptoms in her hips so can't jump or run as before. Fur babies, both of them. Very loving.
I am fortunate enough to be owned by three sweeties. My oldest is a tuxedo, a sweet girl is fourteen years old, seems to be very healthy and happy, and indoor kitty. The second is my outdoor kitty she came to me about two and a half years ago ,she is a real sweetheart and greats everyone who comes to my door, she to seems to be very healthy, she is a tabby. My third is huge question, she has three colors, but her dominate color is grey. She is about six months old , full of energy, and terrorizes my older cat, not mean only wanting to play. She to is a indoor kitty . I love my girls dearly , they add so! Much to my life I thank God for them . They are all rescues, they were wandering around looking for food ,to-thin and generally unharmed for, now they lots of love.
My girl is a tuxie. I named her Leia. She loves to curl up in my lap. If I let her into my room when I go to bed, she insists on finding my hands and shoving her nose into them for scritches. She likes getting up on my shoulder. Especially if she follows me into the bathroom. She's so cute when she puts her paws up in me and stretches when I come home, or if she feels I'm not payin attention to her while I'm standing at the counter or something. A very loving little one. Also very chatty sometimes. She answers back sometimes when I talk to her. She'll be 2 years old in June. I got her from a shelter to be my moms cat. But my mom never made it home again from the nursing home/rehab center after her fall. She passed away the night before Thanksgiving of 2022. Now Leia is my only family. I love my kitty girl.😊😊
I've had 2 female gingers. They've all been big eaters, follow you around like a dog, , picky eaters, very protective, love playtime. Neither have been lap cats but so affectionate and loving in other ways.
I had a tuxedo cat, she was just beautiful. And very smart, she would only eat people food, and had to have whipped cream out of a can with every meal, or she wouldn't eat. She loved playing fetch with a rolled up empty cigarette pack. She lived to be 32 years old, and passed away laying on my lap. I sat there, and petted her and talked to her until she was gone. It broke my heart, but she definitely knew she was loved. I miss her every day. Now I have 3 tabby's, 2 girls and 1 boy from the same litter, born in my backyard, I took them in when they were 6 weeks old, now their 15 years old. They have their own personality's, and they are my babies. I love they with all my being, and they always show their love for me. Plus I take care of some outdoor cats that show up everyday.
My dear departed Arthur was a brown tabby. He was an ex-stray, definitely smart too as he fended for himself and was over 15 when I adopted him. He was the most laid back and friendliest cat you could ever meet. My new senior cat is Trixie, who is a tortie. She is very shy and aloof. But she hasn't a mean bone in her tubby little body, I honestly don't think she knows how to hiss.
Two TUXEDO cats have allowed me to live with them and I totally agree they are happy, inquisitive, loving, curious, etc and are very nice to live with.
As a kid in the 60's we'd visit my grandparents often, they had a real fireplace, oh, the smell, the colors, the sounds of real fire can't be beaten, their black cat was very independent, he didn't like human contact, but he loved the fireplace, almost as much as me.
My first cat was a beautiful shiny black American shorthair. He had golden eyes and was such a sweet boy. Unfortunately, I was a novice owner and allowed him to be an indoor/outdoor cat and one spring, he never returned home 😢. Our family has had three cats after him and they were all problems. One was a gray tabby, the next was gray and the last was a white and black long hair. I miss that first cat named Black-out.
They're easier to find in straight litters, but straight litters are also rare. I found 2 straight litters in a house I bought 5 years ago, they were about a week apart. I took a grey tabby male from one and a ginger female from the other. Those 2 act like littermates, but are not.
My calico kitty was the sweetest, gentlest of all my kitties. And I caught her outside when she was about three or four months old. Never once hissed at me. And she had freckles like an orange tabby. She had adventurous spunky spirit. You described my white cat very well. She seemed aloof but as time went on I realized she formed deep attachments to me and one other cat in particular. Still waters run deep as they say. And she was very beautiful.
I have a yellow cat named Buddy who is neutered and is an outdoor cat with his own heated house. He is 19 pounds, 9 years old, doesn't stray far from home and is friendly, sociable with other cats and a good mouser. The indoor cat is Xena, a female, also 9 years old, a tortoise shell cat about 12 pounds. She doesn't like strangers, hisses at the vacuum cleaner and refuses to go outside. She tolerates Buddy but it took a long time for her not to hiss at him from her indoor kitchen window perch. Both cats are loyal and affectionate with me. Buddy likes everyone, Xena is a one person cat.
I have a tortie girl who is super friendly with visitors, very affectionate with us, and a great hunter. And a tabbie boy who is super sweet but sometimes moody, and shy with visitors. Both of them enjoyed a lot to come for a walk with my dog when he was alive. I live in the countryside and we all went to walk in the morning, the two cats being even more disciplined than the dog 😅
My last two cats have both been black, they're the sweetest and most affectionate cats I've ever had. Such gentle souls ❤ sadly we lost Max last year so I only have Indie now. Need to get her a little buddy. And yes, Indie is VERY vocal 😂😂
Among my cats, i find tabby the most friendly n funny, tuxedo the most calm n gentlemen-like, tortoiseshell the most cold n aloof, orange the most playful n chaotic. All the black cats i have encountered were very affectionate even to strangers like myself. now i'm thinking of adopting a black cat so that i can hug them all day long : D
I have to agree that my black cat is a smooth operator, a charmer who is much more purry and affectionate than my little tabby finkus. I adore them both, but facts is facts.
My cat is a tabby. We chose to adopt him over 2 years ago because of his personality. He is super smart and needs lots of playtime. He enjoys more complex games that involve more than one of his MANY toys, such as putting an automated ball inside his cat tunnel. But he mostly wants us to be involved in his playtime. He is also very sweet and snuggly. He tells us what he wants by looking at a toy and then making eye contact. I love him so much!
The two cats I loved most in my life were orange tabbies, but losing them was so painful compared to all the others I've had that I've decided not to adopt any more. After losing Tommy in 1991 I had to give away my only other cat at the time, who was so obnoxious that I'd disliked him for the all the years I'd had him (yet also orange tabby). I quickly realized that Tommy had been the only thing making it possible for me to put up with Tigger. Then... it was 9 years before I adopted two new cats, and then an orange tabby kitten, Buzz. Two years ago I lost him to cancer, and although I still have two cats, I'm still grieving and will never risk getting an orange tabby again. Losing other cats hurt a lot, but losing Tommy and Buzz broke my heart. I can't go through that again.
My cat is a female calico and she is very patient, calm, expressive in different ways and loves family time. She sits with me while I draw, like for hours on end and keeps her routine set with our whole family
I have had calico cats for decades, and I will be the first to tell you they can have an attitude, but each of my calicos were so affectionate. And many of them were very vocal. My current calico is named Pyewacket, and she was a great companion during the early COVID lockdown days. She is so smart,and knows a lot of words, and phrases. When she was a kitten, she would play fetch with me, but that stopped as she grew older, and gained some dignity. Currently, at 9 years old, she loves to spend time on my lap, which can be a challenge, as she weighs 16 pounds, but there is little fat on her, she is simply a big cat, with big paws. And I love her dearly.
I have a grey and white tuxedo girl and a male orange tabby. She is very smart, curious and in charge. My orange boy is such a sweet kitty. He is abit shy and tends to be bullied by the tuxedo. He was found with his litter outied at about 4 days and was bottle fed. They are both adopted babies from the shelter I volunteered at. Love them both!
My kitty is essentially Bugs Bunny color; grey with white on her underside, white bottoms of paws. First cat I recall ever having with that color scheme.
Currently: 1 grey & white long haired tabby & 1 long haired calico both 10 yr old seniors adopted from shelters. Love them to pieces. I have had all different types in my 77 years. Always been a loving cat mom 😊❤❤❤
I have three cats, black (bengal), calico and marmalade. My favorite is my black baby. She chirps, plays and is definitely a sweetheart. Very, very affectionate. My marmalade is 20 lbs. and acts more like a dog. My calico is very intelligent and very inquisitive, always teaching her brother and sister how to do things around the house such as opening every cupboard and door possible. Needless to say my home has been cat proofed for their safety. 24/7 indoors. All around the same age of six or seven years, and I would be lost without them. My teddy bears!!!
I have 5 cats, a Siamese, a tuxedo, a particolor, a long hair tabby and a female orange cat. I have many cats, I had a grey (blue) cat she was a weirdo. I had a torbie, a cross of a tabby and a tortoise shell, but she was a dilute tortoise shell she was blue and orange instead of black and orange with the tabby stripes mixed in and white toes. She possessed that sassy tortie personality but with her family she was sweet.
I have been blessed with three Calico cats in my life and all of them were the most loving cats. They lived long, happy lives too, 21, 19 and 19. God, I love Calicos.
My home is blessed with one tuxedo 15yrs, male Gibbon, one siamese 4yrs old female zelda, and the three sisters one white with marble grey and peach face and tail named Gracie bell, a tortie named Turtle and a calico named Francine...thesisters will be one year old in May... All five cats are my favorite and i thank God for these goofy balls of comfort and joy.
Did your older cats mind when 3 kittens arrived? We have 2 4 year old cats. I would love to adopt 2 or 3 kittens but am worried that our current cats would be upset and/or withdraw from us. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
@@katherinesimpson7935 my 14 yr old is very sweet, when I adopted the kitten who eventually ga e birth to the kittens she would 'nurse' off of him ( he had dreadlocks in his long chest hair that she de tangled for him...then she accidentally got pregnant and had six kittens...he was cool with them, and eventually became very fond of his favorite who snuggles with him all the time. Unfortunately the mama disappeared when kittens were about 6 months old ( cougar we think) the male has continued to be very sweet to the three kittens we kept. The other older cat ( who was completely feral when we adopted her) has been less friendly towards them but no big deal. I think ma,ing sure there is extra bowls of food at all times so there is no sense of scarcity may help...every cat is different personality.
@@katherinesimpson7935 I think they usually sort things out. You know your cats personality needs etc...even Zelda our siamese who was ferral and pretty spicy with everyone ( had to be caged to train her to be touched, born ferral) even Zelda has learned to accept the kittens and now "almost" cuddles if I'm not mistaken I caught o e of the kittens grooming her ears the other day. Just make sure you have enough food that they can see...I have three bowls for five cats...they are indoor out door so they have had lots of space to get away from each other when they need a break.....obviously make sure the older cats get extra cuddles or whatever they like so they don't get jealous...I bet there is good resources on line to give more information....have fun
I had a black cat once, his name was Pandy. I love and adore all the cats ive had since then, tho my Pandy will foever be my special boy. He was very affectionate & when id lay on my stomach, he'd curl up on my back, purring. He was like a soul mate in a way. RIP my beautiful boy❤
I have a tabby cat. Only had him for one week and he is 3 yrs old. He is very friendly and already comes to me and sits on my chest and purrs at night. He’s lovely.
I had in my life time , I had 3 black Cats, Tuxedo Cats, A Maine Coon Orange Tabby, Grey and Peach Tabby and Over the Years Many Other type of tabbies in Various Colors and Patterns. I Loved them All , but I have always had and Still do have a Weakness for black Cats ❤❤❤❤
Have a gray now. He’s what I call a 50/50 cat. He loves us, being around us, sitting on us, affection, loves to purr and play, but doesn’t want to be “forced” to do anything, including he will leave even if he is placed on his favorite person (me). He needs to do it on his own. Also affection is fine with him but he doesn’t always want to be bothered. He will sleep alone a good while. He won’t come easily. Traditionally I seemed to have karma with buff “tuxedo” cats. They were wonderful. My last one long ago would follow us everywhere, around the neighborhood, to different rooms, and always happily came when called. Tail up straight 100% of the time, so happy. I loved him so much. Our gray, maybe tail up 80% time, so he’s quite good! But I always had good luck with buff colored tuxedos.
I had a tortie named CC, a black cat part Burmese named Voltar who loved to fetch, a white cat named Candy Cat who had helped me in a very difficult situation. Now I have another black cat Queen who was named after the band by a local animal shelter’s employee. She exhibited feral type aggression since 2018 after adoption. That kept up until July 2022, when I came back from 3 day hospital stay due to heart attack. I thought Queen was going to rip me apart again. However, Queen was showing affectionate behavior and hasn’t been feral since.
