@debramcbride67112 years ago Using a carrier as a safe place really makes going to the vet so much easier. I give my kitty her treats in her carrier. She loves her carrier. Happy New Year to all !! 1262

@piratetaurussackinhaff94022 years ago I was so nervous, but I finally adopted a cat.
Jackson, I've watched your cable program for years and I finally adopted a new, well, 8 year old 5 pound cat. The poor thing was starving when I got him. He's orange, I call him Bob. The transition to being a first time cat daddy was so unbelievably easy. (you had a everything to do with that)
We had some accidents, but when I asked Bob what I could do better, I listened. I let him explore everything and smell everything. He never runs off because he'd rather explore with me! At least I think so. He literally waits for me to catch up. This is an amazing cat. I've found my little nugget, I love him so much. I have a lot to learn but getting a head start on understanding a cat really made the difference. Thank You. Bob and Brian ... 989

@patriciabosak6002 years ago The best thing I did with my last cat was leave his carrier out and put his favorite bed and blankets in it. I didn’t even do anything else to it, but I did put it by my desk so he could sleep in it or on it while I did my college work. And when a fire broke out in the church next door, it saved his life. I had run home from campus and came in to him absolutely terrified from the smoke and sounds of the firefighters, but as soon as I scooted him towards his carrier he ran right in and I got him out of the house in minutes. ... 109

@AGreen-ug9oi2 years ago I find their tails to be the most interesting things about them. Even when they appear to be ignoring you (which is 80% of the time) their tail still twitches if you call their name. Cats tails are very expressive of how they feel, too. ... 208

@alexgerweck45072 years ago As someone who just had to evacuate their apartment at 4 a.m. because of a fire alarm last night, I can confirm that getting them used to their carriers and blocking the unders/overs is SO important in an emergency. I do this with my cat and it took maybe thirty seconds to get her zipped in and ready to go outside.
But I was also watching my roommate's cat while they were out of town, and they don't leave out the carrier or block the unders in their room. Their cat was all the way in the back corner under their bed, which I can't move by myself, so I wasn't able to get to her. I really tried, but I ultimately had to leave her behind and felt so guilty and scared. It ended up being a false alarm, but if our apartment had actually been on fire, that would have been it. We would have been devastated.
Please don't just assume it won't happen to you, because it can, and a little prevention can make all the difference for our furry family members.
Take care everyone <3 ... 445

@karismith50792 years ago Having to evacuate from the fires in Colorado was so fast and so little time, having my cat easily walk into her carrier was life saving! I always have her carrier next to my bed and in a sunny area to make it a comfy place she enjoys being in. ... 370

@Marc_Soulslike2 years ago I recently adopted a kitten and she was a handful, I wasn't getting any sleep, endless ball of energy. At one point I wasn't sure I could handle it, but I adopted a second one and OMG what a life changer, they play together all day long, sleeping next to each other. Overall my cat looks a lot more happy and I'm getting more sleep ... 105
@

@bigboredthing2 years ago The last one pushed me over the edge and I adopted a beautiful little kitten to live with my boy. They bonded from day 1 and within a week were sleeping next to each other. He grooms her, they chase each other, they share each others' food, no problems at all. It's like he was waiting his whole life for a companion. So glad I got floof number 2 and our family is complete. ... 107

@cyriael46652 years ago I got a cat backpack as an alternate carrier specifically for emergencies. I live on the 23rd floor, and have a 17lb maine coon, and trying to carry him in his regular carrier down 23 flights of stairs is murder. Even the largest cat backpack is a bit of a tight fit for him, but worth it for short trips/emergencies. I take him out to the lobby in his backpack and give him his Favoritest Treat to make sure he's familiar with it and used to it. When he's ready to go back home, he hops back in it! ... 188

@Nejdouille2 years ago When I adopted my cat Comet we knew she had potential to be very cuddly but she was also very shy and hid under the bed anytime we came to visit her in her "base". We could pet her if we took her from under the bed, and she was ok (purring, kneading, headbutting) but she'd run back under at the first weird noise. I bought a bed frame with underside drawers, so she couldn't hide, and I can't even begin to tell you how much that has helped her !! She's still a shy kitty, but it helped decensitise her so much !! ... 23

@bettyboop15242 years ago My senior gal has lots of medical issues and finding her special food gets harder and harder. If I find cans of food I hope she will eat, I grab them up because everything is in short supply. It can be so frustrating, Cancer, kidney failure, UTIs, I'm happy when she eats anything. She is an adorable little cat that I rescued from a shelter, dirty, stinky and very sad looking. It's been seven months now and she looks like a new cat, I figure no matter how long she has it will be a better life then on he street. ... 80

@cozylife33072 years ago I have ten stray cats outside and I feed them every day and now they let me pet them and when they let me pick them up I will take them to the vet. 17
@

@esjex-sgxyz2 years ago A quick note on pet insurance: In a lot of countries, including the UK, you can't get pet insurance for FIV+ cats or cats with FLUTD - which makes it REALLY hard to insure rescue cats. Jackson's advice is great; put money away every month - not into general/household savings, but into a savings pot that is specifically for your cat!
I'm speaking from experience here, as my FIV+ cat is sleeping on my lap while we get through a FLUTD flare-up, and I'm looking at my bank statement feeling super thankful for my cat savings! ... 38

@syd92902 years ago About 2 months ago we lost our older cat due to kidney failure. We were devastated. We noticed our other cat looking for her and we could tell he was starting to get lonely. We took your advice, and rescued the sweetest boy cat, he is such a lover, so calm and playful. We brought him home and we immediately introduced them (we obviously didn't watch that video, and know that we messed up royaly) it wasnt pretty...A fight broke out between them a few days after (we were switching from one room to another) and since then we've kept them separated and slowly started inching their food closer together on opposite sides of the door. We also try to play with them on opposite sides of our sliding door. Our new rescue is so relaxed and just "whatever" about our resident cat, he wants to play with him. Our resident cat is still very unsure of our rescue....our resident is however getting better at not reaching under a door that our rescue cat is in trying to grab hold of him. We would appreciate some advise on how to help our resident cat know that our rescue isn't a threat to him.
Thank you! ... 14

@heidis39932 years ago I once had a little cat who was scared of everything. Once on a yearly checkup, the vet had to anesthetize her in order to do the usual things. Then a new vet joined the practice. She placed a hand on Mimi, and Mimi instantly relaxed. That got me to be aware of my tone of voice and muscle tension, so I could communicate good vibes. I usually keep up a patter about how everything is good, both to reassure the cat and to remind me to relax my muscles. I don't mean to imply any magical action, or that she touched a chi spot, or anything like that -- it's simply that the vet was calm and assured, and Mimi picked up on that and became calm in turn. ... 124

@amandabrown77902 years ago I just adopted a year and seven month old young lady .from an animal shelter.she is sweet. We named her Dixie 36
@

@sukihartman17372 years ago The food at specific times to create a rhythm so that your cats don't wake you up all night, is completely accurate. We had a pretty solid rhythm going as far as food schedules go, with feeding our cats right before we sleep, and right after waking up. It went really, really well, until recently when my husband got a new job, so, instead of waking up at 4am, we are now getting up around 6am. Things have been decently "interesting" since the job change. Hoping we all catch up to the new schedule soon. ... 22

@pepperam56942 years ago The shelter I adopted from only allows one cat to be adopted at a time unless they're a bonded pair. Currently in the 30 day wait until I'm allowed a second adoption for my little Princess Yue, and 2 days in I absolutely agree she NEEDS a friend... I forgot how much energy kittens have! ... 13

@reneejordan75502 years ago I have two very happy kitties. Samantha and Tabitha are now 12 years old. I adopted them from the shelter at the same time as kittens. I’ve been a fan of yours since your first show, and all your advice has been invaluable. 🥰 ... 160
@

@butchmetzger70232 years ago Mom always insisted that her cats knew not to get her up until 10 or 11 a.m. Or until she wa good and ready to get up. So. One. Morning. About they started meowing at her and jumping on and off her bed and smacking at her. Then she heard the noise in the attached garage that had them upset. And heard her car being started. She had told her son to take the car to her mechanic for some work that morning and he had agreed that it would be easier for him to do it than for her to have to get up. She forgot to tell her cats. They did not like that interruption to the normal routine. Once she realized what had gotten them going and told them it was OK they settled down! ... 41

@LindaSChastain2 years ago My Bombay female eats twice a day, a healthy dry food because she has never liked any wet food even the expensive ones. G-Purrs lived 18+ yrs on dry food. The feeder bowl controls how quickly Onyx eats, use fountain water system. I use Pellet bedding from tractor supply for litter box, urine turns pellets to saw dust that filters into bottom tray, scoop stool into closed diaper pail system. Same in motorhome when we travel to Idaho for the summer. Hugs from my black short Bombay cat Onyx and me too. ... 4
@

@CatNipped12 years ago My husband and I are getting older... At 70, I'm disabled, and he also has some health issues. Over the last few years, we've lost all of our clowder save one. Archer, who is 15, is happy by himself. He never tolerated the others well, not even his littermate who we adopted at the same time as he was when they were 10 weeks old. He's a bit of a prima donna and he is well suited to a slower, more subdued lifestyle where nothing much happens or changes over the years.
All of our cats, except Archer's brother, who died of cancer at 13 (the last cat we lost) lived into their 20s. We made the decision not to adopt any more cats because we don't want them to be left alone and homeless when we die. But if we lose Archer before we die, we will be devastated. We can't even remember a time when we didn't have at least one cat in the house, we've had as many as 6 at once before.
We've thought of fostering an older or handicapped cat, who would go back safely to the rescue agency when we die, but we're worried about being physically able to take care of a cat with special needs. We've never fostered a cat before and we don't know what that would entail. Sorry, this was rambling, but do you have any thoughts about older cat parents and their cats' needs? What arrangements for their cats should older folks take? ... 106

@chloeann17412 years ago I have a cat who was solo his whole life, got him a friend on his 6th birthday and they are inseparable. He's never liked cats before so I never thought to get him a friend but he's so much more confident now 28

@tigeresscrazy80858 months ago When I got my cat a second litter box like most people I didn't want to look at it. Unfortunately my apartment is small so the only place I could put was where I could see it while watching tv. So I used the cardboard back of a busted book case to make a privacy screen. I just put it a couple inches in front of the box. my cat was fine with it and I couldn't see her box. win 😂 ... 5

@lisazappala43812 years ago I started the 3R’s without even knowing it when I adopted Nina. Is just like a child.
We do the same routine everyday starting with emptying the litter box from overnight. Collecting the 4 water bowls, washing and refilling and then Nina’s breakfast. After that, I get to go to the bathroom 😂. Cats first, then me.
Play, love and kitty gives herself a licking bath as I get my breakfast ❤ ... 6

@michaelsaintz2 years ago I've had my Main Coon going on 3 years and I noticed him getting a bored look and I noticed his happiness fading because I am gone 10+ hours a day for work. Even though I am off 3 days a week and try to play with him and give him my undivided attention and gave attention and playtime when I get home but it wasn't enough. I was going to adopt a kitten from a rescue foster parent but while waiting for the kittens to come of age, get fixed and vaccinated, I learned about the mama cat who is about 9 years old and had a rough life of mistreatment and the foster asked me if I knew anyone looking for an older cat. I thought about it a while and decided to adopt the mama instead. She is a beautiful cat and such a good girl. My Maine Coon and her are perfect together, they play, run, chase each other, etc. My Maine Coon came to life again and his energy, playfulness and enthusiasm has returned and the mama cat is a little spitfire and together they're just adorable and both are very happy. I definitely recommend getting a 2nd cat. I have always left the carrier out and one or the other use it as a hideaway and to take a nap but at night, they both sleep with me in the bed and they take turns laying on the heating pad. ... 17

@

@TwoBs2 years ago lmao
That was basically me. Wasn’t until my husband said “look, I know you mean well, but I think you’re traumatizing them”
I was like Elmyra (remember her from Looney Tunes?) creeping slowly towards them going “but I love you and only want to make things better” 😩
Next time I tried trimming nails, I did it casually as my husband and I were watching TV and they were on our laps. I even trimmed my nails — made an event out of it lol.
We just continued talking as if nothing was going to happen and made sure they were comfortable — massaged their legs and paws, gave them lots of pats, got them to where they were going belly up. I brought the nail trimmer out and continued to talk to my husband as if it was no big deal. They sat through it without issue. One kind of side-eyed me as soon as I made the first clip then started to smooth them over, but he just exhaled through his nose and closed his eyes like “okay we’re doing this”
Ever since, I haven’t had an issue. They even began to enjoy it after a while.
It’s one of the things I made sure to keep consistent when it comes to a routine, especially after one of our cats died here recently (they were brothers from the same litter, 12yrs) It’s a routine he’s familiar enough with to maybe understand things will be okay even though his other half is no longer with us.
*Edit*
In response to the last one, I agree! I am definitely going to get another one soon. We’re waiting for the grieving process to still settle, not only for us but for him (remaining cat), but I would love to adopt and give a sweet cat a forever home.
Which leads me to my question that you or anyone else reading can help me with …
When will I know the time is right to move forward? I’ll forever cherish my memories with my cat and the bond he had with his brother. I mean, I had a mini funeral for him — I still get teary eyed thinking about how much I miss him, but I still don’t want the cat we still have to be lonely (and he is). I just don’t know how to tell when it’s the right time (we lost him on 12/27/21).
He doesn’t sit at the end of the bed anymore watching for his brother to come down the hallway. He is back to his sleeping routine and isn’t up and down all night wandering through the house meowing, but I don’t know.
Should I give it another month to see how things are before we move forward? We’ve been making sure to give him lots of love during this time, but he’s definitely a company cat — enjoys not being alone, and sometimes we can’t always be home with him. ... 8

@taleeaheadley41772 years ago My cat was a single cat for over 8 years, I was scared of how he'd treat a new kitten so kept putting it off. I finally got him a kitten this year and he LOVES her. They are best friends and inseparable. I think that's the best thing I've ever done for him. ... 4

@pedanticm2 years ago Just wanted to say that because of you, we got a tall cat tree to replace the one that had been thrown out AND asked for cat beds for Christmas. They LOVE their scent-soaker beds!!! <3 Thank you so much for all your cat wisdom. ... 53
@

@MadamFoogie2 years ago I have another little tip, though it's kind of a downer. When you do take your cat into the vet, have the doctor teach you how to perform emergency CPR on them. It's different from humans, and doing it wrong could end in disaster. I had a girl tragically pass before my eyes a few years ago, and I had no way to save her. Now I at least know how to keep them going with chest compressions on the way to the ER, heaven forbid. If nothing else, it gives me peace of mind. ... 12

@maryallan39828 months ago No lie. I realized why my baby girl was intentionally peeing outside the NEWLY RELOCATED litter box. I moved it back, provided my apology to Nyla, and within 30 minutes she went in her litter box AND made sure both my son and I saw her doing her business! JACKSON YOU ARE THE CAT DADDY!! Thank you. ... 3
@

@crazy4catsRL2 years ago My one cat is 14-16ish. We adopted another (selfishly for me cause he doesn’t like too many cuddles) younger cat who is now 3. It took over 6 months to get them to tolerate each other with no litterbox avoidance and fights. Sometimes there is still stuff that ignites fear in one and bullying in the other but mostly they are ok. Giving the new one up was just never an option. Without the young one I don’t think I would have ever been able to switch my old kitty onto raw and sometimes whole prey without my younger one being a role model (she eats anything). It can be done with perseverance and hard work! ... 8

@meme-sw1pc2 years ago Yesterday after 4 years my rescue finally curled up on my lap, he has never done this before and I cried. He is happy and cuddly and loving in every other way, so you can see why I cried, I rescued him but really he rescued me. ... 6

@DeeAnnieFL2 years ago My husband and I went to the shelter expecting to adopt just one kitten. We wanted a mini panther. When we found our panther Bruce playing with his tuxedo sister Liberty .... we fell in love and knew we couldn't separate them.
We are so glad we brought both home. They are so sweet, so funny and smart, and typical kitten shenanigans has been tame because they have each other for company when we're working. ... 22

@lunaspawws29469 months ago As an autistic person I can say that cats have been and will always be the perfect partner for me. We appreciate routine and hate sudden changes alike and no one is getting bored by the same pattern as long as you change toys and what not every once in a while. Cats and me, great time 😊 ... 2
@

@cowsharkdefin63762 years ago One thing I'll say about dry food: my boy Cashew has chylothorax and a sensitive tummy. His condition requires specific food and he only likes the dry kind. I'm just glad he's eating and in between the food and the Rutin he gets every day he's still alive and happy 4.5 years into his diagnosis. Considering that the first vet we saw wanted to put him down that's really impressive. ... 4

@red808082 years ago I got my second cat this week after a lot of thought and preparation. I still have been stressed with such a big change. These videos help so much and the last tip at the end made me feel good about my decision. Tonight they were playing. Its funny how they naturally interact in a way that no human can substitute. Resident cat enjoys watching new kitten play and is comfortable walking by or having him near her now. She couldnt resist the playfulness tonight and joined in, its all i could have asked for. I'm just so grateful for dedicated animal people like Jackson who support animal lovers and put out great info ❤ Happy new year cat people! ... 75

@jabbott67482 years ago We have a backpack carrier in our living room that our cat uses as one of her (many) beds and we also go on frequent rides, so that the car doesn't only mean the vet. She loves it so much that on the one occasion she got out of the house, we just took her carrier outside and called her. As soon as she saw that we had it, she came running and jumped right in, ready to go for a ride, which we did. I can't even imagine how hard it would've been to get her back otherwise. ... 19

@designersheets2 years ago Ever since I had to move with my cat the second time, when we could finally let him out of the carrier and into our new home, I left the carrier in place so he could return to it if he wanted. We attached his water bottle and food bowl to the door with zip-ties, and tied the door to a table leg so it would stay open. This was so much better for him than just putting the carrier away immediately like the first time we moved. He had a home base instantly, and despite him having been to the vet in the carrier, and having to move on very long drives in the carrier, he willingly hangs out in it! ... 11

@

@jekalambert94122 years ago Jackson is right, your attitude about giving meds and clipping toenails determines if your cat will be stressed or act as if it's no big deal. I am so good at peticures that I do it for my friends cats. Even kitties who resist my friends attempts are fine with me. My secret is to make it fun by singing to them and acting like they love it and they're being pampered. ... 3

@samfish40072 years ago I rescued my 7 month old kitten from becoming a road kill as a feral kitten running back and forth inbetween busy traffic in front of my house, screaming for his mum when he was 6 to 8 weeks old. After hours of trying I finally managed to lure him inside my house at 4 am by playing the sound of a mother cat calling her kittens. He was totally feral and had to keep him in a crate for a couple days till he started trusting me and I could handle him. Unfortunately for him I'm his only playmate and it's never enough. 😤 have a back yard of about 100 m² closed of with netting. But recently he rediscovered the big outside world with big fields and mountains at the back of my house and he's determined to investigate and managed to escape twice. I caught him in time and he's sóóó frustrated when I pick him up to bring him back in that he starts growing and biting me. No drama, because he stops when I tell him to stop and apart from that, he's a sweet affectionate little fella. But my heart breaks because he's so frustrated and although it's for his safety, I feel like I'm keeping him in prison. Am not able physically to go on walks with him on a regular basis, like I did with previous cats were I would join them on hunting trips at night in a car free area. I can't wait for him to get older and calm down and hopefully in the mean time I find a place to live that hasn't got a busy road at the front. ... 7
@

@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears2 years ago My recommendation is to practice the football carry especially if you have multiples. If in an extreme situation, (even something like a neighborhood dog gets into your house.) you can grab them one under each arm and know you have a safe hold on them. This is useful for a fire or tornado. If you can just grab them an run and be confident that you will not lose them in the process this is golden. It will also help with a situation where you are not at your house and a fireman has to get them out or something.
Proper hold: facing front (duh but you would be surprised lol) Arm around the outside of the cat and lifting them from the chest with your hand. You can then grab their front leg as close to their body as possible to secure them. Then with fore arm you can contain them, squish them to keep them from escaping and protect them. ... 12

@brontewcat2 years ago I heard a funny story about a cat and their carrier.
A colleague was telling me about the family cat who, like most cats hated the carrier, and she would disappear every time it came out. We are Australian and they lived in a bushfire prone area. Many years ago during one of the fire seasons they were very close to a major fire. For 3 days they were under warning to be ready to evacuate at any time. As part of the preparation they had the cat carrier out, and for that 3 days their cat sat on top of its cat carrier.
I assume she could smell the smoke, and knew if she was going to leave it would be in the carrier. ... 1

@tessalynne67782 years ago Pesky came to live with me 2 years ago today at 10 years old. She had been indoor/outdoor and had never had her nails clipped. I play with her paws every day as part of her being on my lap. I am up to being able to clip 3 on the same paw at a time. She only bolted for the door once when I left it open for a bit. Otherwise she has been content as indoor only. ... 15

@atticuswolfe8482 years ago Jackson, thank you for your advice! I just brought a ferral stray into my house. After ensuring she was fully vaccinated and parasite-free, I began introducing her to my current cat, an 8m kitten who is clicker trained. I'm having a really hard time with the current trained kitty picking up bad habits from the new cat - like hissing, jumping on the table, etc. She never used to do any of those things least of all to me! I'd love a video going over more tips on integrating a new cat to a home beyond just the initial intro. Thanks! ... 21

@cherrybomb68522 years ago Thanks for the video, Jackson! You've sparked love for cats and rescue work in me when I started watching your videos from your "My Cat From Hell" days, and now I work at a high volume spay/neuter clinic for cats and dogs. My two cats are also very grateful for all the tips and tricks you've given me over the years - the vet is always amazed by how healthy and well-behaved they are!
Anyway, have a wonderful new year and looking forward to more educational content from you :) ... 78

@frankie61242 years ago I would love to give my cat a playmate but out apartment has a one pet rule, So I make extra time to play with her. Also no room for and extra litter box small place, so it gets cleaned more often. These are 2 things you have not addressed unless i missed it. She is a health happy girl. I watch you videos, they are always packed with good information with a side of humor. love it. ... 7

@camielise44212 years ago I started leaving my cats carrier out after one time having to get him in it, he was so traumatized he was even scared of his treat container. Thinking I was trying to capture him again. FOR MONTHS. Now he loves his carrier and no longer hides when he hears me open the treat container 😂 also trying to get him a friend soon. 👍🏻 ... 2

@docmopar11832 years ago We actually adopted our second cat like 3 weeks ago after getting our first like a year ago. And it's good to see him more active between play sessions. They seem to tolerate each other so far. Been showing them lots of love and has been going well. ... 14

@sophlaa172 years ago I adopted kittens 2 months ago and your videos have helped me so much! Something I started doing right away that has made all the difference is I set a special alarm for when I feed them. In the past, my cats have woken me up hours ahead of breakfast or have meowed at me for an hour before dinner time... but now they don't ever worry and run to the kitchen with glee when the alarm goes off! And if I happen to not be home for the time I have it set for, I still make sure to play the sound before I feed them the next time! ... 4

@shellym96572 years ago We tried adding a cat. Our resident cat wanted no part. She became less engaged with us and started going out, and staying out longer and longer. We did the slow introduction, did the scent sharing etc. we worked on it for over six months and our cat never adjusted. Luckily my mom took the new cat, because we couldn’t keep her. Once gone our resident cat went back to normal over time. ... 1

@bluboots10382 years ago Long time viewer here. Thank you Jackson for the endless amount of educational tips for helping me raise my little ones to the best of my ability. Im still trying to work in a budget on swapping my two little ones diet away from grains. But I made the decision to get pet insurance. Practicing your advice has not only improved the relationship with my Kami and Joi, but has also grown a new mindset to how I view them as well. To me they are my kids. I will never stop attempting to make them both as comfortable and happy as possible. ... 4

@shoulder_cat2 years ago Thank you for the reminder on blocking the "unders" and keeping manageable hiding areas, for the vote of encouragement on giving meds, and on adding more members to the family!

@crittermama2 years ago When we changed our cats to wet food with a little dry mixed in, we're having to slowly get my oldest cat to move to wet, he's not a fan of change, we started feeding them 3 times a day. I work from home so it's super easy, they eat when we eat. They also get night- night treats when the dog comes in at night since we used a tear to get her to go in her crate. Now she knows crate means treat and she will go to her crate and wait fur her treat and they know when she's kicked up for the night they get their treats. Our youngest cat has horrible anxiety like I do and routines help me and it seems to help him as well. Oh yes, we trim those nails, just the tips. I have to purrito the 2 year old. My youngest is the easiest to do anything with. I never lie to him, I let him know what needs to be done and he's pretty tolerant. He's got allergies and sometimes needs pills. He didn't like it, but he seems to understand it's over faster if he cooperates. I do have to purrito him to get him into the carrier. I think I will try leaving one of the carriers on to of the dogs crate, that's a really good idea. I know they like to get in her crate because they like the smells she brings in. I agree, more is better. No matter how much they fight and complain about each other, they do enjoy grooming each other. My youngest isn't much in cuddling, but I must give him his and kisses, he decided he'll tolerate that since I hurry, I hurry because I knowit's hard for him to allow it, then he runs to another cat to wash the mama cooties off. He and I have compromises and since we both have horrible anxiety, we have a bond. My husband makes him nervous, he avoids him most of the time and he's been of work the last 2 weeks and Angus hasn't had much mommy time. When we do find a little time is so sweet, he really does like his hugs and kisses and scratches. It's almost like he's been pretending he really didn't want my to do it because he'll keep coming back, but pretending he's trying to get away. If he ready wanted to get away, he'd be faster. So it's our game. He's got a very sturdier place in my heart because I have to wish harder with him and he's made obvious efforts himself. He's never purred. I know not all cats do, but that just kills me.
UPDATE: Angus just got in my for pets and scratches and that baby was purring. It wasn't very loud, but I could hear it and feel it. It's been way over a year since I brought him home and today was the day. All that patience and compromise paid off. I'm so excited I had to tell everyone. ... 15

@alexisrivas3072 years ago Jackson, I’ve been watching you since your first season of My Cat From Hell. In October of 2019 I became a first time car mom to two beautiful sweet boys. I have learned a lot from you and felted prepared to go on this adventure. It took one particulate “adopt me” video online that urge red me to adopt my first cats. Fallowing the things I’ve learned from you has made living with these two easy. People who meet our boys are always complimenting on their physic and behavior. Our vet is impressed with their behavior as well as the one time one of them at to go into emergency. The nurses and doctors at the hospital said our cat was a sweetheart and easy to handle. Thank you Jackson for getting me prepared to embark on this grand adventure. ... 6

How do I make a daily routine for my cat when my schedule is unpredictable? ... 21

@sabrinakroesen67912 years ago Best words ever… Jackson said “adopt more cats”! 😁 I will direct the rest of my family to this video when they question me, lol.

@angel190932 years ago Love your videos Jackson! I would be lost without them. We adopted many of the strays (inluding mom's and thier kittens and pregnant moms and thier eventual kittens) our the semi-country neighborhood so that we could reduce the number of unspayed or neutered stray cats breeding more kittens. After filling our home, I had to take some pregnant moms and moms/kittens to a non profit cat rescue who found homes for them because I had too many. My group all live inside. Because they all came at different times, there were getting-to-know-you periods and processes. They mostly all get along, with a few scuffles. Your videos make a huge difference in the quality of their and our lives! ...

@Piti_Pingu2 years ago I recently rewatched a lot of your videos and the nutrition one came on. I watched it again, I ended up switching to a mix of wet and dry food after that. My adult cat who had a lot of stress issues (he has anxiety meds from the vet) calmed down a lot more, so now I ended up switching to only wet food. And geez they pee all the time now, but mostly the agression issues are almost gone now. So thanks a lot Jackson and people really consider switching to wet food, I even calculated and the one I had to choose (cause one is really picky) ended up costing me as much or less than the dry food I used to have. ❤️ ... 11

@vazzeee2 years ago Adopting a second cat next to mine was the best decision I ever made. At this point I watch your videos for about two years, and you constantly telling me(us) I should adopt a second made me confident in it. Thank you!

@msbribri2 years ago My cats are into feng shui, it appears they actually embraced and perhaps celebrated the furniture rearrangements. Pleasantly surprised, I was worried they would get stressed. I moved my bed and installed a bookcase headboard... and the kitters are elated!!! The bookcase headboard is a natural cat walk/perch and they like it as new kitty furniture. The direct path was opened up more for fluid zoomability (the thundercat hide n' seek 😂) from the back room down the hall to across my bedroom and into the closet. ... 3
