He's not angry. He's lost, sad and hungry. He's asking for help.
He was minding his own business, going about his life and the busy body forced her 'help' upon him by deceiving him, trapping him, calling one time and subjecting him to a whole lot of unnecessary scrutiny & stress. I don't know why people always delude themselves into thinking they did a good deed by forcing things on others that they didn't ask for. What she did was appalling.
Why didn't she just take him in the first place, instead of putting Tiger through all that unnecessary stress. When she trapped him in the cage, Tiger looked at her like she betrayed him and then started to panic. In the end, glad it all worked out.
@@elaineburt5795 She was unable to take him because her landlord and apartment association forbid pets. After he was in foster care, she asked her landlord for special permission to have a cat. The landlord approved. She was ecstatic to be able to have Tiger with her at last.
@@loken3139 Her neighbors did the trapping. And the poor cat was lost, homeless and hungry. He didn't like being in the trap but he DID like being cared for in foster care and he DID like having a permanent home. He's not a feral cat; he most likely had a home at one time and was abandoned. That meow he does at the beginning of the video means, "I'm lost! I'm hungry! Please help me!"
@@loken3139 yeah she shouldve just let tiger get slaughter in the animal shelter or even worse no one would adopt him Great choice! I'm sure tiger must hate being snuggled up in those soft blankets So Appalling...
I’m so happy the landlord came through on this.
Ikr it was so heartwarming
Yea Landlord. You saved a life!
No pet policies are usually put in place by landowners, in order to protect the property, because of bad experiences with previous tenants. If you can demonstrate a reliable sense of responsibility and cleanliness for an extended period of time, it's not uncommon for them to grant an exception to the policy.
He's right where he needs to be.
Usually you can convince the landlord. Just be nice and promise the apartment won't be damaged by the pet.
When I was 10 an abandoned cat broke into our basement. She was very afraid and acted much like this boy. My mom slowly made friends with her. Eventually, she got injured outside and we don't know how. My mom took her inside and nursed her back to health. She was ours forever after that, and she was an indoor cat the rest of her life (but she would go out on our rooftop!) Her name was Silly and she lived with us for 13 years. She passed last year. By then she was one of the friendliest cats around and allowed anyone to pet her. I miss her so much, she was like a sister to me 😭
Kudos to all that adopt and keep their invasive non native predators inside where they're safe.
I have one male stray cat my brother brought him when he was just 2months old maybe from that day he is with us and he will forever he is like a little brother for me and my brother he is 2 and a half years now😍😍🥰🥰i love him a lot
Ari October, so sorry for your loss. Similar experience happened to me a few years ago. I had a 'feeding station' on my back porch at a previous address. There was food for stray cats, birds, squirrels, opossum, skunk, raccoons - you name it, everyone knew where to get free food. BTW, since there was a feeding station out back, not once was any of my trash barrels knocked over. With a full belly, who needs it? One day when putting out food for the strays, this huge gray cat just waltzed himself into the house, looked around, then plopped himself onto a cat tree and fell asleep! Even opening the doors and windows didn't budge him. He'd open an eye, look around, look at me, then promptly went back asleep! Well, it's been about seven years now...he's still my big boy, along with a Maine Coon I adopted from our local shelter who'd been returned three previous times, thru no fault of her own. Now we're one big happy family. I feel blessed every single day that both adopted me and decided I was worthy of being their person!
How do you turn a stray cat into a house cat and help it stop crying or wanting to get out😭
So sorry for your loss .. I Do love animals .. i have a Shitzu and i am a scared of cats although my daughter brought her cat to live with us.. So i am adjusting to her.
Animals understand kindness...This girl is full of empathy. Kudos to her!❤️❤️
The property owner that allowed Anastasia to keep the cat is THE BIGGEST HERO! Thank you so much!
There are some landlords that exist that run a building with their wallet, and there are others that might think about cash, but use their brain and heart and actually take care of the people living inside. This seems to be one of them. We need more of them.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@AnthonyLoPrimo and there are some that allergies and there are some who have had tenants who had pets and we're horrible. You don't know anyone a story so saying the ones who don't allow pets only do it because they think about money and don't have compassion is wrong. And she could have found another apartment complex if they didn't allow pets. They tell you from the beginning that no pets are allowed. It's not like this is a new thing for her.
@@Royalty_girlie While I didn't feel I needed to provide a 3 paragraph essay that also explains how I'm aware of those factors you described, I see that I'll re-iterate what I said that also includes what you are mindful of: There are some landlords that exist that run a building with their wallet and only care about the bottom line, not caring about the needs of someone, at all, and there are others that might think about cash, but use their brain and heart and actually take care of the people living inside. This seems to be one of them. We need more of them. Of course, if this person was in a flat with others, I do hope the landlord is mindful of the other tenants, even if they'd have to eventually have the girl give up the cat due to allergies. It always sucks, but since the landlord seemed willing to make an exception to the rule, it seems that my original point still stands; they look out for the tenants instead of viewing them ONLY as a source of money. And I get the impression that if someone did bring up having any kind of allergies, the landlord would take the right action to resolve such an issue before further issues arise. Amazingly, my point remains, as this video prompted a general statement in which I derived context from this video to explain my opinion, which is that there are many landlords that are so detatched from their tenants that they forget that there's still a level of customer service involved. And yes, even if the landlord said "no", but worked to find a way to get this cat into a home or something would have warranted me saying the same thing. It just so happens that this landlord instead allowed the tenant to keep the cat, hence why I'm using THAT as a quality instead of something else. Interestingly enough, I'm sure the reason I provided a reactive response is for the same reason you provided a primarily reactive response to my comment. I do assure you that I'm aware that just because the landlord did what they did doesn't ONLY mean they're good (hell, they could be an otherwise terrible landlord that doesn't fix problems until you heckle them five times, or they're otherwise strict with rent or something and don't care about anything). But that's not what the video or my comment intends to cover.
Outrageous. I live in the apartment. Our No Pet policy was one of the reasons I moved here. Now she has this vicious cat. What's next... a rabid Rottweiler?
Did everyone notice how has facial expressions changed and softened with time and love?
I was thinking the same thing♥️
I have seen this myself with 2 ferals I took into my home. The cats used to glare and stare and growl and hiss at me. As time went on the male used to give me those fierce stares and he looked totally wild and I asked myself why I would think this cat could be friends with people. It was like living with a raccoon. Within a few months he began to soften up and even rub my leg but then if he looked up his face would change back to the wild for a little bit and he'd hiss at me. Then he'd head butt me again. It was like a switch for wildness, on/off, on/off. We are together now for over 2 years. If he is surprised by me he hisses. Then he gets into my lap. That crazy glare and "mean" or wild face is still there on my cat when he sees other people or dogs but then it's like he snaps back to housecat mode and his face softens.
Cats are really interesting (and adorable) creatures!!
It’s bc he was sick
yes! I laughed when he winked at her!
I am so happy for Anastasia. The entire time I was wishing she could keep him or adopt him and I literally cried when she said she was adopting him. My heart exploded with joy.
Yeah when the animal shelter ppl came I was like OMG NO this is not how it should end!! So glad that they both got reunited 😁♥️
Thank you love all those stray cats🥺😽😽
Hes crying. He did get abandoned. But he found you as you found him. The world is our mirror
He doesn't look angry , he looks scared and very talkitive . He's a good looking kitty .
Basically all the stray cats I've ever interacted with
yes he's crying out his fear and pain.
@@smithjames4541 I hate spammers . You suck . The people you spam for suck .
@@ecurbjones2698 just report him x
@@unforgettableflower613 I did . Did I mention that I hate spammers ? 😁
I am so glad she was patient and continued to care about Tiger. He wasn't angry, he was scared and probably hungry. She saw that and she continued to give him love and was greatly rewarded. Beautiful story❣

Anyone going to talk about how PERFECT that red hair looked?.......... Totally awesome!!!
And possibly in pain. Cats who are aggressive often have some medical issue like clogged ears, toothache or a UTI. She’s an angel.
Love cats ! And as she said patience won the day ! Soooo happy they are together I cried with emotion reading the story ! Well done! Btw my cat , now in heaven was names Tigger as well !
No he had an anger problem and had high blood pressure. His girl was probably pissing him off and was stressed, but he for sure was an angry cat
"You little dragon, give me a kiss!" So cute.
When he finally allowed her to pet him I legit started crying. That moment is so incredibly beautiful and special! What a lucky pair they are that they found each other!
You can see the stress leave his face once he was at home. He has a completely different look. God Bless you for taking Tiger in and showing him some human love.
at 4:53 you can see a very clear blink, and for cats it's usually a sign of love and trust, it's so sweet how they went along!
It's crazy how he went from looking like a tiger, to a kitten with round and bright eyes 🥺 all he needed was love

Yes I noticed the dramatic change ❤️
He definitely loosened up after he got home with her!
She really was that cat's last hope. The sad truth is that he would never have been adopted due to his seemingly angry disposition. He will entirely change with the love she is going to give him - but while he would have been in the shelter or foster care he wouldn't have the love needed for him to become comfortable again. She's an awesome person.
I’m a 22 year old guy, and this made me cry
You're sweet, I cried too ;)
🐱 boy
Guy means girl in your generation now no?
I'm in my 50's and so did I. Just wasn't brave enough to post it until I saw yours.
@@michaelolson419 were only human
I love this young woman. She never gave up on Tiger. He has the life now that all animals deserve. Kudos to the property managers for making an exception and allowing Anastasia and Tiger to be together.
The drama between her and the building owners is what is well hidden. Scandal! Betrayal! Adultery! Murder! Mafia! Watch the real story on Nickelodeon. Starting May 2022.
Kevin - I agree! 👍 (Couldn't say it any better myself.)🐾🐾🐆🌈
@@hunkosaurusrex...what??
You Betcha!! Great Story !!
@@hunkosaurusrex lol
That he's meowing and not growling is a big indicator of trust. It means he recognized her as a potential ally. A hiss is NOT anger, people never understand this. It's a fear signal. A growl is anger, flat ears are anger. If a cat hisses and meows, but doesn't run away, it means they are frightened but still assessing you. If they lay their ears back and growl, that is anger/confrontation. A hiss is a neutral warning.
THANKS for the info!
Fear based aggression whether most folks realize it or not is the default setting for any unsocialized animal. Somewhere down the road folks came off with the foolish notion that they're born looking to bound with us. It's a very healthy survival behavior. People though a few are kind, in general are violent and dangerous. It's actually cruel to endeavor to socialize an animal you are unwilling in one way or another to get off the streets. It's teaching them a behavior that's probably going to get them killed. Just so you can enjoy some ego gratification. Like it not distrusting people keeps them safer. It's sad to face. But, to a stray animal the biggest risk isn't wild predators. In most areas the humans have done a "just lovely job" of killing off everyone of those. It's us. The kind of sick behavior human beings enact on other creatures makes me want to vomit. So unless you're willing to actually step in, stay away. Their life may be short and hard. But at least they are alive.
@@edlux2190 Yep, it's called abandonment issues! When cats get the broken trust of humans many times they stop acting like a cat. It's called a broken spirit of a cat!
Sometimes the growl is a warning before the hiss
WOW, THANK YOU FOR FOR SHARING THIS INFORMATIVE INFORMATION. MAY I ASK YOU SOMETHING? SO ONE DAY I DID SOMETHING WEIRD, PLEASE DO NOT JUDGE ME ANYONE BECAUSE IM NOT PROUD OF BEING SO WEIRD AT TIMES. 🤦🏾♀️😩😂 I HAVE A TEENAGE KITTEN, & HER NAME IS NINKER BELL. I HAD/HAVE NEVER SEEN HER POOP NOR PEE EVER IN MY LIFE. SO I SEE HER IN THE YARD DIGGING A HOLE, & THEN I SEE HER SQUAT DOWN INSIDE OF IT BUT COULD NOT TELL IF IT WAS HER DOING #1 OR #2. I SEE HER FINISH, & SHE BEGAN TO COVER HER HOLE UP. I WAS SO INTRIGUED & CURIOUS AT JUST HOW SMART THAT WAS & HOW SHE WAS USING THE SAME DIRT SHE DUG UP TO COVER HER HOLE. I STARTED TO WALK OVER TO HER I WANTED TO GLANCE IN THE HOLE BEFORE SHE COVERED IT UP. SHE THEN LOOK’s UP AT ME, STOPS DIGGING, & LAID DOWN ON TOP OF THE HOLE ALL WHILE GLARING AT ME. I STOPPED IN MY TRACKS, & TURN TO WALK AWAY. I TURN MY HEAD BACK TO SEE WHAT SHE IS DOING WHILST DOING SO. I SEE HER EARS WERE STANDING UP, & PUSHED BACK. HER TAIL GOT REALLY BIG & FLUFFY. SHE STARTED WALKING/RUNNING SIDE WAYS AT ME LIKE A LITTLE MEAN YET CUTE CRAB. OMG, I ABSOLUTELY LOST IT, ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS ME BEING CLAWED TO DEATH & HELPLESS IN MY OWN YARD. 😂🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ I STARTED SCREAMING SO LOUD WHILE RUNNING. IT WAS SO LOUD & THE NEIGHBORS CALLED IT THE SCREAM OF BLOODY MURDER. I THINK THAT SCARED HER THOUGH BECAUSE SHE RAN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF ME WHEN I DID ALL THAT. I WILL NEVER TRY THAT AGAIN, IT WAS A GOOD LESSON ON WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO MIND YOUR BUSINESS ALSO. 😩🤦🏾♀️😂👏🏾👌🏾💁🏾♀️ MAY I ASK WHY DID SHE DO THIS, & WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR IT! DID I IGNORE ANY WARNING SIGNS, & WHO EXACTLY WAS IN THE WRONG HERE? WAS IT THE NOSEY MAMA (ME), OR THE MYSTERIOUS, BABY (CAT)?
To be angry... Doesn't mean you are full of hate.. it just means you are scared and you seen and felt a lot of sorrow in your life. You are scared and left alone. You are seeking for love and a place you can call your home ❤️ Open your mind and soul for not only animals, but also for us human beings. Anger is just a protection of not showing your feelings and not trusting someone. But there is still some love to find deep beneath.. remember that
Wow I wonder if this would also apply to all Karens out there 🤔😐😧😧
So beautiful ❤️❤️
Do you see the way he's blinking at you? That's cat speak for "I like you & I feel safe with you." Blink back at him.
You’re a cat person, the cat recognised that straightaway so he kept on coming to you. Animals aren’t stupid, they know who to trust. You did a good thing - thankyou for caring.
Nah, many people lure animals with food to torture and kill them. Animals are stupid. Dogs and cats are loving and its often taken advantage of. Your sentiment is heartwarming but very misguiding.
@@rmyd027 your more stupid than animal and if animal are stupid then why are there fucking dolphins
rmyd027 We shall have to agree to differ on that.
@@rmyd027 i agree, but not with the statement of "stupid" there was some trust issues, and she had to build trust against the cat, pets aren't stupid, but warming up to them is hard.
@@dadguy8415 Dolphins exist because of evolution? Some animals may have more cognitive ability than others but on a comparison between Humans and any animal including Dolphins, they are stupid.
By the end of the video, Tiger's eye changed; he didn't look as scared or angry. Thank you for your patience & kindnesses.
The change was epic !
yess!! i literally noticed it rn and how much his pupil changed, he seems to have light in his eyes! 🥰
The character development we love to see. lol.
@TheKitkat825 Many living beings become angry when they are hungry.
It had an eye infection which the shelter gave him medication for which makes him look better and happier
He's absolutely wonderful, and you Anastasia, have done a fantastic thing persevering with Tiger. Well done, I wish you both a very happy life!
Yea i can't lie, i always had a fear of cats and didn't like them or trust them until my brother brought two brother cats home. They completely changed my life. Just typing this makes me want to cry thinking about it. I love Marvin and his brother who we had lost in an house fire. R.I.P Gordo
I know what you mean. Between having allergies to cats and having negative experiences with cats growing up I could never see myself owning one. Then when I was living with my then husband a stray cat would come into our yard. It was at first scared of us but my husband spent the time to get it relaxed and he would feed it, poor cat was super skinny when we first saw him. Eventually we adopted him. He’s like the best cat ever, we named him boo boo and he loves to cuddle and sleep with me at night. He cares about how I’m feeling and stays around me when I’m not feeling well, he gives me lots of love and get this IM NOT ALLERGIC to him. He’s just the sweetest thing. I know some day I’ll lose him, he’s 12 years old from what the vets say. I don’t want to think about it, for now I just cherish his presence as much as I can.
Thank you for making Gordo and Marvin feels life worth living.
cat goes from living alone in dumpsters to having a warm fluffy bed and companionship. how can you not cry watching this.
@Amy Sullivan Where did you find this out? She doesnt even live in America you stupid nut.. and voting for Trump does not make you a racist nazi. Dumb kid.
Wonderful mate 😅😊🙏🏼
Easy, we’re not soft
I know right
Amy she is a animal lover show respect Amy you don’t have a heart
You can tell he actually wants to be friends but is scared. His instinct senses she is a safe person, but his trauma is preventing him from trusting her. He knew deep down she was meant to be his person.

With hair like that I’d be scared to lol
@SynthSurfer2k lol what an angry bitter little man you are
You are wrong. And you are a loser. Glad the cat found a human to care for him. Sorry you're jealous of a cat that is being loved and cared for. Pretty pathetic.
We need more people like Anastasia . People who have a good heart and help others who can't help themselves.
WOW that's awesome that she stuck with him throughout his journey through the shelter back to her place, pretty awesome man.
*Tiger* was NOT a angry cat. He was a cat that was scared of people because of how he was treated in the past. I am so darn HAPPY that she was able to adopt her baby. Now they can both be *HAPPY* .

@@dougjustdoug6391 Sad but very true. 😼😼
Oh, I had a cat like this, who ended up being a short story/novella. The Chronicle of Leon. Anastasia and Tiger made me cry in remembrance. Learning to take the time and patience to gain the trust of a frightened feral is a humbling experience. And I am forever grateful that Leon learned to trust me.
This actually made me cry. What a sweet story. Not many people care so much about the hurt and scared animals. Most just think they’re feral or mean & just give up on them.
He wasn't angry. He was homeless and hungry. Look at him now. So happy. Love his outdoor house too
every one better after a good sleep .
a cat that fat is definitely not going hungry. probably getting fed all around town to be as thick as he was when he first started showing up
@Liss Ann Bichez you suck
"Give me a kiss you little dragon." 😂
I loved her for that comment even more than the effort winning over kitty’s trust and affection.
I laughed so hard at that comment ! I have cats & understood exactly what she was thinking & feeling in that moment.
that why make him mad
This is a beautiful story. It shows what can be achieved with love, empathy and patience. It works for animals AND people too....You're clearly a beautiful soul... 🇬🇧
People like U is that, what the World needs.
He isn't a feral cat - he was lost or someone dumped him! He is scared and asking for help - so glad you looked after him and took some time to pay attention. He'll love you to the end - hope you do the same for him. Bless you for caring for all those cats and Tiger particularly.
Feral cats tend to be very vicious. This little guy wasn't viscous at all, just trying to communicate with people. He clearly grew up very close to humans.
Feral cats are not necessarily vicious! I was adopted by a feral cat when he was a kitten. He is now about 3 years old. He has NEVER scratched or bitten me and he is a love. Smart too! He can open the front door if it is unlocked. And he is a lap cat who put his sheathed claws paw up on my face which he also loves to nuzzle. So much for being vicious! I have also met others who have been adopted by feral cats and they say their cats also do not bite or scratch.
I like this comment
I hate nosy neighbors!! He could have been here with you
Yeah.... God brought you 2 together awesome!!
He was just a scared lil guy and she stuck around long enough to gain his trust. She's such a kind and loving soul. We need more people like her in this world.

she abandoned him too

I cried when the cat stretched his body up the brick wall underneath her window so she could pet him.
Me too but probably because im super high..
So did I such a sweet moment 💖

Hello Majbritt.....💝👋👋👋
Such a beautiful story. Thank you for your kind heart, he needs you. He asked for your help and he received it.
This was one roller coaster of emotions. . . 10/10 would watch in theaters
Am I the only one who noticed that his eyes changed as he got healthier and happier?!
Yes Jessica Bailey!!! Yes!
he has herpes like a lot of cats it flares up from time to time
I noticed that too! So wonderful...
Your right His eye and nose looked messed up.
Yess I noticed that his eyes looked wild and sharp but afterwards it’s more calm looking .
Cat: *hates people* Person: "I felt like we were similar, like he understands me."

Same, cat. Same.
Yeah, I peed a bit too
@James Bond Are you okay? Something wrong?
guys i'm not sure about this dude he gives off a weird atmosphere
This is beautiful. And you learned that to everything there is a season. Too many people try to push their timeframe and their way of thinking onto a cat or a dog. And dogs and cats don't like that. You did a beautiful job. I am very proud of you. Wonderful.
I love you for loving him. You understood his needs and followed through. You two will be a blessing to each other. Makes me very happy to see this love.
I can understand her emotions tbh, during Christmas I tried to feed a stray cat, he was obviously malnourished and now I'm attached to him, my family doesn't allow him to get comfy inside the house so we compromised and he spends the whole day with me sitting in our courtyard. I feed him and apologise every evening when I have to part with him. I have promised him that one day when I'm able to move out, he'll get to live with me forever.
Aaaw. You could build him a little shelter outside.
Take a duvet and sleep outside with him, your family may discover some hidden goodness and invite him inside. 💜🐈💜
Why feed it? Animal control can take care of it, these animals have fleas, make noise, and poop on lawns.

A feral kitty adopted me over quarantine, I’m so over the moon he’s won my family over too. He’d come to my window and beg for food, so I named him Oliver.

So sweet best wishes!🥺😭❤❤❤❤🥀
That’s awesome!!!!
You have a sweet soul.. Congratulations... 😊🐱🌺💞💞
What a *twist* naming him oliver
Me too.
This made my morning. I'm so glad she was able to adopt him. His facial expression even changed, he def looked angry in the beginning but calm in the end. I love when people are kind, that kindness is always rewarded in some way.
Yes, we need more kind soul's in this world. Your spirit is loving and kind.......never change. Prayers for you and your's 😇🕊
This made me cry. At first when people came an took him away and he was fostered out I thought she was abandoning him to others...come to find out she adopted him. Made me so happy😊 #AllLivingBeingsNeedLuv

I mean I too would be afraid and untrusting of giants.
I wouldn't call it mean cats. More like scared cats.
A year?? Man hell nah, go get u some ReaL Cat if that's the case
How you Smoking all that pot but can't find patients? no chill 😆
You sure it wasn't just stray? Feral cats are (99.9% of the time) unsocializable after a certain window. They are better off staying outside due to the stress of indoor life
What a lovely kind human being. Bless her.
She is truly awesome, huge heart and a good feeling, allso i do like the Tigercat:-))
Cat: Is angry for some unknow reasons* Her: he's a special one If only the world has more people like her who understands people anger instead of shouting back, the world would be more beautiful.
That is just true. And well put.
Thats also a good way to get hurt by humans who take advantage of that lol. Animals, not so much
Thank you for caring. Hope you have lots of joy because of Tiger. Take good care of Tiger.
cat was not angry. adult cats dont cry like that to each other. (only baby cats cry like that to their moms ) they only make meow sound to human. please look it up. he was asking for help. and he was scared. that's all.
I know, I really love how she understood the cat, and gave it space. It really warms my heart, she’s a great cat owner! 🥰
When he squint blinks his eyes it means he trusts you. It's like a smile.
Totally didn’t think when they blinked they were saying “I love you!” when I was 8 LMASKOSOWPZ

If you stare at a cat intently, they'll feel threatened and probably lunge at you. But if you do the lazy-eyes squint like that, they'll return it. It's pretty much saying "We can look at each other eye-to-eye without feeling threatened." Of course you can also interpret it as "Wow, you're cute! Rawr!" Also, if their inner-eyelid (the white one) starts to draw across its eyes part way, you know it is super chill with you. They go all the way when falling asleep, but only part way when they're sharing a moment.
I was looking for a comment about the blinking. I’ve never owned a cat but intuitively I felt as though he was speaking to her through his blinks/eyes. Almost like when you’re just gazing and adoring someone you love😍

The fact that he’s laying on his back, showing his belly and allowing her to pet him there, speaks VOLUMES! That is a cats complete trust. ❤️

My cat loves getting her belly rubbed

Gee. Really?? Wow. I never knew that! I've only read the exact same comment 500 million times across KZhead.
I rescued a feral cat. He is completely domesticated now. It took time but was so rewarding.
I love you.
@@justanotherguy469 My Wife Jenn and I adopted a Feral kitten living in our Complex by the Dumpster! We caught her brother ( Adopted out after Vet visit) and her as well. Both tuxedo cats. Begley has been with us Almost a year Now. She has turned into a sweet non- hissing Cat that loves her brother and 2 sisters!
I also rescued a ferel cat, she was a barn cat. The people who owned the farm fed the stray cats but they were prey for coyotes, and they kept breeding. I think eventually the coyotes won, except for the little hissing kitty that now lives with me.
@Suzy Pringle, question: does the cat still like to go outside, or would he prefer to stay inside, after so much time on the streets?
You mean Stockholm syndrome lol
YOU are a compassionate and loving soul. So happy for the both of you. Especially Tiger. You gave him a place to call home, shelter and food. But The biggest reward of all is the love you two share with each other. Priceless!!!
Thank you for saving this precious cat. We need more people like you. Hugs. -Momma Kat
That cat is constantly blinking slowly at her. In cat language, that means he really trusts her.
It means several things depend on the situantion. It means «I come in peace/I mean peace»,when cuddling it means «I love you»,or if they are yours and they watch you then do this it means «I love you».I do this to feral cats on vacation and they stay under my resturant table. With others they just leave after they get food.
Did Dr. Doolittle tell you that, or was it in the Cationary? We have no idea “what that means.” I’m sure Lions blink slowly while they rip the throat out of a still breathing Antelope or human, as well, and I doubt it’s trying to get “I trust you.” across to its lunch. Maybe it is, I guess we won’t know until Cats learn sign language or morse code or just quit being lazy and learn to speak a language.... preferably English or Cantonese. Wink
@@carolynmeatto1070 Ayeo Karen, chill out. Btw, lions do blink slowly looking directly into your eyes if it trusts you. If it perceives you as a threat, it wont blink.
@@carolynmeatto1070 Have you ever been friends with a cat?? Cause its obs you have not
Goes to show that if you genuinely care, animals can understand your sincerity. Also, the way she got so touched at 1:50 😭
I love that moment as well. love is a powerful thing if you display it nothing can remain indifferent.
4:26 his expression resembles to me that he's saying "I'm loved" 🐈💖💖💖🐈
You adopted each other. You were made for each other. Thank you for this beautiful story.
What a sweet, compassionate young woman! Lucky Tiger! I wish you both lots of love! 🥰
He smelled her scent on the house. He was like... "This girl builds houses and cooks!" 💕💕💕
HolyLand Fan Lol ✔😂🤣💗💖💞🕊️
He's such a special friend ❤. I had a cat who wasn't even mine change my life. He belonged to my neighbor and she was abusive to him. Only putting 1 can of food outside and him as well for 3 days on average while she went and stayed with her bf who had dogs. It was Late January in WV and it was about 10°f and I used to crack the window to my office and he started laying on the sill to keep warm. Then one day he decided to come into my life and totally change for the best. I opened my door and pointed inside and said "This is it Buster, here's your chance you want a new home?"and before I finished the sentence he was in my place looking for a spot to go to sleep. It was like he was finally able to relax. Thank you for sharing you video it was heartwarming.
I also rescued a cat from a neighbor who only put food outside for the cat but wouldn't let her come in, even in cold weather.
@@vegskater1741 people like that are insane. If you want to be responsible for a living being then do what you committed to and take great care of it. I have a neighbor who forced his all white pit to stay in a dog house with a yard covered in 80% concrete 20% mud with large puddles infested in summer with mesquites oh and 1000% garbage. Past winter we had this bad freeze we’re everything was a sheet of ice and the poor dogs dog house was dripping from multiple spots, she was completely soaked and shivering. I jumped the fence, ran a tarp over the roof and put all my old towels and then blankets in the house. Gave her to much lunch meat and called animal control who at first refused to come out since all that’s technically needed is a shelter until I explained it was a rotten mess of a dog house that was dripping all over and finally with the fact she couldn’t stay dry they came and got her. She was back a week later but now she’s gone to I don’t know where. Awful people. I remember the neighbors coming out to there back deck to see what I was doing but didn’t say a word to me and I was to angry with them so I chose not to say anything either as it would end with me getting into a confrontation.
So glad you noticed and took him in!
Waiiittt what about the woman? Did she notice? Or ask you about it? Give me the deats!
Some people only want animals for entertainment and when they are fully grown they belong outside🖕🏽😡🖕🏽
What a beautiful story God bless u and tiger 🙏
That crying, they only make that when talking to people. He’s distressed and in wanting. He’s trying to trust.
I think he found someone to trust finally poor guy, And he has lots of loven from Anastasia..
"He's trying to trust." That is heartbreakingly sweet.
Very good! Many feral cats have a great fear humans. They need a helping hand and some suffer from malnutrition.
My husband works at a navy base. There's some cats that eat out of the dumpsters. He was instructed not to feed them or he would be in trouble! He was raised around cats & loves them. He said they looked so bad & what's worse is they are having kittens. He feeds & waters them anyways. I have looked for someone to help them & what I get back is they say they are overcrowded as it is. I can't find anyone in the whole state of FL to help them & it tears both of our hearts out! If they would just spay & neuter them & put them back, that would be a great help! No one wants to help them which is pathetic!
@@larryfaulkner5705 I've already fed, rescued and spay/neutered 3 that showed up here in 6 months. There's another Tom I've seen glimpses of and I caught him on the porch last night late. He darted off and got just into a shadow staring at me which was the closest he's been to showing himself to me. I didn't feed him because I worry about the other two that have been a handful. I already had one disappear after getting neutered about the time this new one first was seen around and another one injured. I've been in a ton of pain , had one cat need a lot of tlc with his one eye, and had my grandmother to take care of as I wait surgery so I said I couldn't take on tnr for another as it is a long drive to the clinic and $$. But ...after seeing this and how close he came last night...I think I have to get him fixed and set up a feeding station away from where the others hang out.
somebody cutting onions round here,
I didn't cry, it was my allergies acting up.
@@tonyacolbert6898 Or allergies to someone Chopping Onions? 😉 Makes the tears really flow. That's my answer for Resting 😭 Face.
Yes. Sweet onions. Sorry.
yeah...i noticed that as well....ugh, those.....onions...
Somebody stashed the onions in my car. 👀
You are The best to rescue the cat, and praise to the landlord for saying it was OK. 🐾🐾
Огромное спасибо таким добрым людям)
Strays are some of the most affectionate cats ever. It's like they appreciate in a human like way that you've saved them.
I agree, 💯%. I experienced this during my stay at my previous residence. Lots of strays were in the neighborhood, majority of them not so trusting. There was this one cat though, he was the absolute best.
Sure, strays are really affectionate when they claw your eyes out
@@nastolgicgaming fool
😂😂😂are you that STUPID?
There's a difference between stray and feral. Feral cats are usually aggressive. Strays have had a lot of human contact and/or were homed at some point. I've fed and fostered many stray. The last one I had for 7 months until he was rehomed through a no kill shelter. It was the fluffiest, sweetest boy I've ever had the pleasure of loving and healing.
The way she had to hold back her emotions when saying 'it was a special moment' says so much about her character. Every living thing could use a little compassion from a stranger from time to time. It has lasting effects and is usually appreciated more than realized. Much respect for this great woman. Her heart is most definitely in the right place
You made me cry...thank you for taking him.
GOD BLESS YOU FOR LOVING THIS CAT AND GIVING HIM A GREAT HOME. YOU MUST BE A WONDERFULL PERSON.
He’s just an old man who wanted to be loved and cared for again 🥺🥺 he’s not angry, just scared, it seems like he was hurt in the past and scared to approach a human again at first
And hungry.
@@ovoxomcful food is a motivator for many animals and even people 😂
Notice the change in the size of his pupils, at the beginning (they're huge, he's nervous & scared) & at the very end (they're small, he's relaxed and feels safe). I'm so glad fate intervened, and put him in your hands... You're truly a beautiful soul❣️
Cats pupils actually change due to light rather than being afraid or not! It can be used to roughly guesstimate the time if they are near a window.
@@TJDunaway That's what pupils are for, in every animal. But in cats they also change according to other things. When they're being playful or are hunting, they will become huge. When they have their crazy moments, running around, they're also huge. It's a sign of complete awareness, so a nervous cat will have huge pupils. Trying to be aware of its surroundings.
❤
LOVE LOVE LOVE Thank you, precious Angel, for your wonderful heart and a great inspiration to others. Big hugs from us. LOVE LOVE LOVE
This happened to my daughter living in an apartment. The owner threatened her because she was feeding him.She moved into a house and rescued the cat. She has 2 others. He is the sweetest cat and sleeps next to her face every night.
What a great daughter!
Luckily she moved out. It's no use to give/spend money to the landlord with that kind of attitude..Heartless
@ dangerous wild animals o_o lol
@ or rats
@@Techie1224 rats, foxes, badgers, they all are disease ridden and eat cat food
I “fostered” a stray cat at my work. She had 3 kittens when I found her. She was starving and wouldn’t come to me at first for food. When I saw her I’d show her the food and walk away. Eventually she let me pet her when I had treats. She was MEAN at first. I still have scars from being bit by her. I didn’t give up, eventually brought her home after a long time of convincing my family and the first night I woke up to her laying right up on my stomach completely underneath the blankets. It was was the best feeling ever knowing that the little baby felt safe and comfortable. I was planning on finding her a home but we bonded and she trusted only me, I couldn’t let her go. She has a happy life. She doesn’t have to take care of kittens or wonder when she’s gonna eat next. It’s the best feeling ever knowing that she knows she’s safe with me.
Awww. That’s sweet. What happened to her kittens.
Wondering what happened to her kittens too lol
@@alinabaltazar7255 I am assuming she got them adopted or placed in a shelter. Having a mommy cat and litter is alot to handle😂
Omg that made me cry, then I got angry at the neighbours, then I cried again with happiness xx
Goodness & humanity is still saves in some human beings She is a wonderful, wonderful person. Thank you for saving his life!
It’s one thing to pick your pet, but it’s another to have a pet pick you. Wish y’all the best of luck.
you never choose a cat...the cat chooses you
@@aaroneisenman6873 I have 7, and can confirm this. Got my first one as I was leaving the Army, and never even wanted a pet at that point.
My moms friend from church had a bunch of kittens, and me and my girlfriend went to look at them, they were all playing on the bed except one. I asked my gf which one we should get and she said " this one, didn't you notice?" I told her I didn't notice anything. She said "every other kitty was playing, except this one, she literally sat there staring at you the whole time." So I picked her. I love her so much, her name is Princess Meatball. She comes first, if she is sleeping on my clothes I will wear something else for the day.
@@brianheaton5521 💙💙💙
About a year ago we moved into a new house in a new neighborhood. I seen a cat crossing our yard. I could tell she just had kittens. She was in pretty ad shape, could hardly walk. So I gave her some chicken. Eventually she started bringing her kittens. They were wild and would his, bite, and scratch if you tried to touch them. The mamma cat stopped coming to the house but 3 of her kittens never left. 3 boys Max, PB (peanut butter), and Quasi. Not really sure if they picked us or if the momma found them a home. A year ago they would draw blood if you tried to touch them, now they crawl up in your lap.
A human who understands cats is a rare, but lovely skill. My inner cat wants to adopt this human.
Love this comment!
My inner testosterone wants me to adopt her 😍
@?? I'm just as confused as you are.
Bless you for taking care of him
God bless you for helping him
I had a cat like this too. He was abandoned .. After a while of feeding him he finally came in and never left. He was totally protective of me. I honestly felt that he was the best friend I'd ever had. I named him Finigan because he could "begin again". He was in an accident with a cyclist and passed away from his injuries. I truly loved him and he truly loved me. I believe I will never love like that again. I miss him so. People who ride bikes please watch out for animals!
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss nothing prepares us for such accidents. I hope your heart can heal and one day you’ll experience that love again
When she started tearing up at recalling the first pet....I felt that... because I also started crying when she was petting him for the first time 😭
Me too !
When I'm sad or have bad days I ALWAYS look for videos like this to cheer my day! The kitty just needed your love. Thank you.
Thank you for taking this lovely cat. You clearly are an empath.
After she pet him for the first time, he slow blinked and winked at her! In cat language, that means, “I love/like you”!!
yep, even some of when she wasn't sure how he felt about her he was definitely slow-blinking at her and for a kitteh that's "i trust and like you a bunch". i was really happy that she worked out a deal with animal control and her landlord so she could adopt tiger, because while it's pretty obvious he bonded with HER and vice versa, that doesn't necessarily mean he'd have been able to do that with somebody else. (one of mine is STILL basically a one-person kitteh and he's probably pushing 3. his mama is basically "oh, okay, my person let you in you can pet if you're polite about it" and could probably have been somebody else's if they had at least a little calico experience, but my bb boy freaked at just my voice for a good couple of months and i'm really not sure that he would have EVER been a good "traditional" adoption candidate.)
My cat was an abandoned stray in my neighborhood. I fed her, and bonded with her for about a year or so before I rescued her. The first year inside she was semi aggressive. It's been 4 years now, and the past 2 years she has become this amazingly warm, and sweet cat. Patience is always key, and it usually rewarded.
me too, and she came in and had babies in my closet ... I already had 2 cats and then there were 6!!! She came and went and took great care nursing them, and she is still with me here on my sofa right now Two originals passed and one disappeared over the years but I still have the mom and her two kids.
Same here! I rescued a feral cat two years ago and she was terrified when I first brought her to my home. She hid all the time, hissed aggressively when I tried to pet her,etc. It took her quite awhile to warm up to me and get used to things and now she’s such a sweetheart. ❤️
