My parents are anti cat people due to stereotypical opinions they hear from their friends that have never owned a cat. Though after many years of me trying to get my parents to let me buy myself a cat to take care of, I was finally able to convince them when I figured out that being around cats or petting them brings down my anxiety levels.

To anyone teetering on the idea: I got a kitten last August, and he is the best thing that ever happened to me. I love him like he is my literal baby. But keep in mind: Cats tear everything up. Curtains and bed sheets will be ruined. Leather couches? Pfft, now they are scratching posts. Litter boxes are the worst to clean, and sink terribly after a few days. Cats love attention, so if you are only getting a single cat, it will pester you constantly because it's bored. They get into everything, but you will love them unconditionally.

Try having a more regular play schedule or increasing play time and try getting more scratching posts scratching toys etc. If they are hyper then they are not releasing enough energy which you can help with through play. Also there is a sticky tape kind of thing you can purchase to put on furniture which deters them from scratching because they don’t like their paws getting stuck on the tape. My sister cleans her litter boxes once a day and I rarely notice a scent.

since it's adopt a cat month, you may want to keep in mind a couple of things, people don't generally adopt black cats, silly superstitions still persist, adult cats, everybody wants a kitten, right? or bonded pairs, be they litter mates, or were raised together, so these cats are often the last to leave the shelter, once we learned this my husband and I decided to only adopt adult black bonded pairs, and it's been great!

3:38 Never give your cat a bath !!!! That is really not necessary. Cats wash themselves daily and spend a lot of time there. A bath is unhealthy for them, it causes unnecessary stress. Also sterilize / castrate your cat before he / she is 6 months old. You can already do this if they weigh 1 kilo. Give them a lot of toys if you want to keep them indoors, then they won't get bored and make sure you have a few cat scratching posts, otherwise they will use your furniture already scratching post. But if you can leave your cat outside, then they are really happy. I have 3 cats (neutered and not because it's the law here, but for their health) and I don't live in the city center. They always play outside. I also foster kittens for the shelter.

Hi Erin! Love your videos, I recently adopted two Syrian hamsters, one from a breeder that couldn't sell him because he had earmites when he was young and now his ears are weird he's half a year old, and one from a family where the child was apparently allergic, he's a year old. I started binge watching every episode you have because they are weirdos and I couldn't find some of their behavior previously, haha. However I do already own two cats from a shelter and I wanted to press this to people: please adopt!! Shelters are stuffed with great cats of all varieties, and you can even get a kitten if you're there the right time of year. They are not broken or weird, they are just homeless. I promise you the right cat for you is in there!

A little note on letting your cat outside, not only does it add a risk to your cats health but also to other animals. Especially here in Australia outdoor cats are not hugely popular as they have a tendency of killing native animals and other small outdoor pets like rabbit or birds. Make sure you consider those around you when lookig into buying a cat

If your scared about the 18 year dedication then just adopt an older cat. Then just adopt a teenage or older cat. They need a home just like kittens, but are often neglected or forgotten, because people think kittens are cuter. Kittens are constantly trying to adopt a kitten, but the older cats are left behind and can be put down if they don't find a home.

I would prefer a Cat of 12years old, but no younger then 10years is acceptable. Also, its true that older cats have less chance for adoption so I know I'd be serving a more humane purpose while also my practical intent as regards age.

I'm ready for a cat. but in India a high breed cost more than 20000$. I couldn't adopt a cat becoz we don't have a shelter for cats. and the only way is to adopt a ferrel kitten. and the chance of that happening is very rare. indians usually don't consider cats as an option for indoor pets. there are a lot of misconceptions. I used to have 3 outdoor kittens and I lost them in different accidents and 2 of them were killed by stray dogs. so I decided to keep one completely indoor and I had done alot of research for the past 7months. I thought I will b getting a kitten this season but it didn't happen. I've already found a vet near me who checks cats(a lot of vets don't treats cats in here), a pet store and everything. I think I'm ready.

Honestly have been wanting a second bunny over a cat, but he has been doing good, and the bunny seems to like him but the cats kinda uncomfortable around him. I never had a cat prior and I'm now doing research and there's so much things that are kinda overwhelming.

I do call him the 'comedian' of the house for a reason, I love cats, they are hilarious, I 100% agree that cats do change your life forever and would make you want 100+ of them little furballs hehe.

My cat absolutely HATES being groomed, when she sees the brush she starts hissing and growling, but she had a pretty thick coat of fur so I have to, what should I do about this?
@rachelthomas9179

Maybe, the brush is hurting her tender skin, especially if its a wire brush. You could instead use a Cat comb that has the thin close together teeth and does a very good job of removing loose hair while grooming.

***** It isn't your dads fault he's allergic to dogs. And please don't say that because he's allergic, that's ridiculous. Dad's are awesome, well at least my dad is. I don't really now anything about other people's parents so I can't really speak for the world. It's not nice to say things like that either.

Ask your dad about a hypoallergenic dog! Lots of mixed breeds do not shed. I have a maltipoo (Maltese/Poodle mix) and she does not shed at all. FYI my mom is very allergic and she's never had allergies from my dog.

I have a hamster, and I have two dogs and three cats. The safest thing to do is to keep the door shut to the room where the hamster is if you aren't in it. When I'm in my room, my spaniel sometimes comes up and sniffs the bars, but I make sure she isn't too close.

Cats definitely should not be kept outside unsupervised. They are dangerous for local wildlife and there are many dangers to cat as well, such as predators, aggressive dogs, poisons (like antifreeze or mice that have eaten poison), cars, and even people. Almost all cats except for the truly feral cn be transitioned indoors. Some may meow at the door for a few weeks, just because of the change in routine, but as long as you don't reinforce the behavior, they will eventually stop. As long as there are toys, hides, and other necessities inside, they will be fine. You can also build and outdoor enclosure or train them to walk on a harness if you really think your cat wants to be outside.

:Erin's Animals - You are truly a great woman who I am positive benifit's the Cat community in a awesome way. I am a first time cat owner who is father to a beautiful 4 month old Blue Russian Female with the name of Precious I live alone in a bachelor so she gets all of my attention and I would never have it any other way. I remember I used to say that cat's are bad companions but that was due to my lack of knowledge with Cat's and now I have such a strong bond with my baby girl that it may sound crazy but the bond is actually stronger than what I've had with some of my girlfriend's! Is this normal or am I obsessive? And thank you for the great video and your time and effort you put into making this possible 🍀😻🐈🙀👍💨🐾🐾

Hey Erin! My cat hates collar! I can't get her to keep one on, she always gets her jaw stuck on it and rips it off. I'm scared of her getting out and someone steals her. Any suggestions? Also how much on average do you think it is to neutered? Story:My cat is my love (not that way that's uh, gross) , she is my legal companion animal which is odd to my family why I didn't choose a puppy because a majority of people would choose a puppy over her but I chose her because she just calms me down instantly when I come home from school she's always waiting for me at the door and waits for me to sit down and she cuddles with me while I relax and watch some tv she sleeps with me every night c: she just relaxes me and we have an amazing bond

WOW! That's great. I never realized a Cat could help relax a person so much. When I had my Cat my life was in such a chaos and confusion of activity I had no time. Now I'm retired and the dog I used to have, whom I adored, has been dead for many years and in this elder phase of my life I just want to relax also don't have the health nor years left for another dog. I've thought of getting another Cat. Didn't realize that in addition to their merit of low maintenance I would also get the relaxation I really want in addition to their companionship.

Thanks so much for the great video! Cats are the most beautiful animals on the earth!! The big ones and the small. We are SO LUCKY to be able to be able share our world with cats. They truly are the MOST BEAUTIFUL CREATURES that have EVER graced our world. I have NEVER been able to understand ANYBODY'S aversion to cats. It seems to me, an easy way to separate GOOD from EVIL! If you hate cats for NO GOOD REASON (as if there could BE ANY GOOD reason, ha ha ha ) then you truly are an EVIL PIECE OF FILTH!!! And I DO mean that in Old English terms!

Hi, Erin you probably wont answer but i have watched msot of you hamster videos and my hamster is happy and healthy but i want a cat bu 1 problem, my dog he doesnt like other animals mainly because he was forced to fight with them for food. But he got along with my revious cat my parents say it is because te cat was there before him but my dog actually liked him he was depressed when he died. but my dad is worried my dog would hurt the cat. so is there any way I can get my dog to welcome a new cat or kitten into my house.

One thing; cats should never be allowed outside off-leash. There are studies upon studies showing the damage cats do to local ecosystems, not to mention how dangerous it is for the cat.

Jokes on you, try it and they’ll never be happy. They are serious predator. They hunt and mate to live. Btw, do you mean ‘outside’ and on road or around your neighbourhood? If you can’t even let them outside your doorstep, that’s just plain animal abuse. Well, unless you’re sure there’s dogs guarding around your house.

I love cats I owned a few a couple of years ago and when we moved we had to get rid of out last cat. In a year we are going to move to a farm and we are going to get house and outdoor cats the sad thing is my dad wants out door cats just to keep the mice population down and where the farm is there are tons of hawks that will probably try to kill the cat but my dad wants barn cats, Makes me feel awful.

Thats really awful! However, visit a SPCA and see what's their advice is, they may have some barn Cats that they feel are so desperate for adoption that your situation is tolerable.
