She’s not being creepy. She’s just honing in her hunting skills. ❤
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist_ “Sell CRAZY somewhere else.”
She wants to be chased. My cats used to love it.
Yes, and part of hunting behavior is stalking. Cats love to be hunted and stalked in return. They are both predator and prey so this behavior sharpens their survival skills.
Second that. Play hunting, similar to play fighting. Mine loves to play, but ONLY if it involves stalking (and fetching btw). I give her that, and she's a couch potato the rest of the day.
Domestic cats come closer in their behavior to their wild cousins, than any other domestic animal. When they get that wild crazed beautiful wide eyes look when staring at their humans, it is their natural urge, in stalking. But because they love you they look sooooooooooooooooooooo cute.🥰🥰🥰
When you have a pet cat, you will realize that you are not alone in this world. Because Cats can provide affection and comfort if you’re alone or if u had been through something horrible… Cats are more than just animals. Especially when you had one for many years…
Yup that's why the Egyptians worshipped them as Gods! Fun fact! ❤
Absolutely
My wife has severe migraines, as well as depression. When she's having a bad day and has no choice but to crawl into bed, one of our cats, Booster, senses this and runs in to curl up next to her and purr.
@ianharac5153 If I remember correctly cat purrs have a vibration that heals and calms. My cat is also sensitive and as ther person on the receiving end of the purr, I tend to believe it is true.
@@ianharac5153She may have allergies, but depending on what, be sure to comb your pet to get rid of some dander and by petting it will add oils to their coat. This may help. I am allergic to many things, and can get migraines from drinking alcohol, so in social settings I permit only one, maybe two drinks if they’re mild mixed drinks. But allergies can range from many different things causing migraines. Cigarettes, some strong scents to foods etc..Take care ❤
She's a Ragdoll, they're known for being affectionate kittehs. I wish either one of my furbabies loved to cuddle & would sit on my shoulders like Petunia does.
@@Vero2yu Cry more you sad little human.
@@Vero2yusmh go get a life and mind your own business
@@Vero2yuwhat’s ur beef with people calling their pets “pet names”
@freedomfighter4990, since the tip of her paws are white, I believe she is a Birmam. Birmans look similar to Ragdolls except the tips of their paws are white. There is a legend about Birmans which explains how they got their markings. Legend: Birmans were companions to Kittah priests who lived in Burma. The cats were considered guardians with yellow eyes and white fur. Tsun-Ktan-Kse (the temple's golden goddess) had blue eyes as well as Mun-Ha (head priest) who also had blue eyes. Mun-Ha had a cat named Sinh. Mun-Ha was killed in an attack, and when Sinh touched Mun-Ha his fur turned golden cast, eyes blue, and his face, legs, and tail turned an earth color. Sihn paws stayed white which was a sign of purity. All the other Birmams in the Temple turned into the same markings. They became known as the "Sacred Cats of Burma".

Affectionate kittens that have separation anxiety.
Yep, no turning back. You did exactly the right thing by leaning in, strapping in, and enjoying the ride. ❤❤❤
Besides the tick tock advice. Tik Tok be lying 😂😂😂
Every Cat out their this is how you train your Human!!!🐱
They r fortunate to have gotten such a cat as their first 👍 A velcro, a fetcher, AND a shoulder rider...they r blessed by the cat gods 😻😻😻
yeah i gave mine one of those balls with a bell inside, and it disappeared after a few days, i can’t find it anywhere 😂
@@SeenGod Its in side the back of your chair or couch its always Under or in .. Think Like a cat ~=^.^= that's a nice dark small spot....
That’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! Also I’m pretty sure it’s normal for rag doll cats to like fetch and be clingy, these two basically picked up a living plushie.
My ragdoll thinks I am his Mom. The other cats love me I'm their human. But everyone in the family agrees he imprinted on me. The Maine coon is a character too. 😂
Mine doesn’t play fetch but she loves being near me as much as possible.
Randomly cats are the number one Velcro cat. Though personally I like adopting random non breed cats. It's fun to find out what there personality is going to be.
Yea, if you are the smothering motherly type you be in heaven with a rag doll. Just be warned they get Big and are very heavy!
Our ragdoll boy came to us because the previous owner couldn't stand with how clingy he was. Later on we got 2 older selkirk rex cats, one of them is even clingier. If I lay down anywhere you can be certain she will climb on my stomach. If I don't pay enough attention on her, she moves closer to my face until her face is literally touching mine. They really are special creatures.
She's play hunting with you! It's exactly what she would have been doing with her siblings if she had been raised with the litter so, yes, it means she sees you as her family.
Petunia is a ragdoll... She is sweet, clingy, funny, playful, beautiful fluffy ... Conclusion: ragdoll ❤😊
I was going to say the same thing.... what a great start to having a first cat!
Weirdly the three ragdolls I know are not clingy or cuddly at all!!
I have a pair of sibling ragdolls, and they're basically the same the same as Petunia.
I tot siamese
"All we are saying is give kitties a chance..." and they will love you furever❤️
Give rescue ones a chance. ❤
If you feel that way now think about how much you’ll love her at 15 or 20 years. I’ve have my cat since she was 3 weeks old. She is now almost 21.
Woooow 21 years old ?!! I hope my 10 years old cat can get to this age too, I really don’t want to see him go away yet
I lost my Gracie Mae last year and I had her from about 6 weeks old until 17. She was the sweetest cat and I'll always miss her daily. She would come to bed and spoon with me every night lol. Time flies though doesn't it? 21 years is amazing and I hope you still have many more years with her. 😻😻❤❤
I just lost my 22 year old boy, Gilmore. I miss him so much. He was a kitten until the final month. Cats are angels (except when they are little monsters). We love them either way.
@@echochou3977 😔 sadly she has passed since I wrote the last comment.
‘I’m worried we’re turning into weird cat people…. We are just leaning into it!!!’ And life was never better. Or at least in my experience, I have 3 cats and one is a lot like this Beauty here. So much love!
Petunia is simply ADORABLE and jam packed with personality‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She’s so adorable & so loving. I can’t imagine living without a cat. So happy for you guys. ❤
Same!!!
When she gives you the stare and you make eye contact, it’s game on! She has the zoomies! All cats have a hunting instinct, so you need to get one of those fishing rod type things with feathers and some kind of object on the end of it so she can run, jump and play. Love Ragdolls! ❤️😻❤️
Omg the stare and the pupils go WIDE, craziness and bouncing off the walls will ensue. My cats love this small blue wool ball and turn into soccer players dribbling it everywhere during zoomies. Throwing any toy just out of sight (under or around something) will get them to stalk and pounce it.
@@Killer_Turnip Love it! 😻
Lol she has such a derpy stare. I love it 😻
Looks retarded really
The cat or the girl?
@@stealmycorpse lol they both retard
@@stealmycorpse😂
@@stealmycorpse lol they both look retarded
Cats will always surprise you, no matter how much you think you know 😂❤❤
Every cat that's ever owned me loved to play fetch. Sometimes it was catnip toys, sometimes rubber bands, sometimes milk bottle rings. Oh, and every snowshoe I've had the pleasure of knowing has been cuddly, affectionate and sweet. Congrats, new cat mom!!
I've had only 2 fetching cats, out maybe 10 total. Milk jug rings are a great toy! Little crumpled paper balls are also fun.
Ah! Someone took their grumpy pill today.@@Vero2yu
Well, Bless your heart. You don't have a pet, do you? I know, they're messy, shedding, disobedient little creatures, and should not even be kept indoors, since they are Animals, after all. And, these poor, misguided people who actually form an attachment, dare I say LOVE, for these obviously inferior beings, should seek therapy immediately. They are transferring their psychological need to care for and have someone dependent on them onto an animal. How pitiful!! Of course, being dumb animals, they are incapable of emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, and yes, even love. So, let's just get rid of all the "pets" and get a nice Fern or Philodendron. SMH, to you, too.🥴
@@tommygunn2782 Stop assuming that people, me, are not relaxed when I am more frosted than an icecube and only wrote a plain comment completely stripped of any kinda ''emotion'' dude. Smh. Loser. Bye bye.
@@gardener6904 < Assuming a person is a ''baiter'' and assuming they are ''not happy'' only bcz they tell the truth, smh, what a fool you and your kind is. I only share facts, no feelings here or care, so why are you against honesty? I suggest you stop assuming and learn to accept honesty.
What an adorable kitty.
The cats I have owned have been very people oriented and loving. Maybe I have just been lucky.
Totally true for me too! I was owned, raised & loved by a black cat who was 9 months older than me. She lived until she was 19 and I was 18. ❤❤❤ U Darlene 🐈⬛
I’ve had cats all my life and not one was aloof and low maintenance 😅
Oh my gosh! Your sweet family made me smile, laugh and cry. Petunia is gorgeous and such fun! She looks like a ragdoll. So loving, playful, and loyal.
Such a little love! When a cat chooses to bond with you, it is the highest compliment ever.
Petunia is so beautiful & cute! I love her name too!
I wish to offer her my heartfelt congratulations on starting on a path towards being a crazy cat lady someday. (which is the ultimate goal of every cat-loving person in the world !) 😍😍😄
My best friend, favorite child and the live of my life passed away last March. She was a kitty that lived down the street from our old house that had a ton of outdoor cats. She came up to my husband and I one day and about 2 weeks later when we were going back and forth bringing groceries in she came inside and never left. Sophia meant EVERYTHING to us! She was well loved and spoiled and EVERYONE loved her that met her, even if they didn't particularly like cats. I miss her so much and no kitty could ever replace my princess 🥺
She's just loaded with personality...love it!!
She is darling! Every cat has their own personality. And just want you to know that being a crazy cat lady is awesome. There are a lot of us❤
Adorable! If you decide to get Petunia a fury friend, please let it be a rescue! They have kittens too!
Lots of fur babies to love in rescue. Angels 👼 are waiting for You. Enjoy every moment. ♥️♥️♥️
What a little beauty! ❤ Looks like my ragdoll 🤗
Petunia is such an adorable little floof!!! I love her and that sweet derpy face lol ♥The solution to your problem is simple, get her a friend ;) haha.
But please make her friend a shelter kitty! There are so many beautiful loving fur babies in the shelters that would be so blessed to be saved into a family like this. Adopting saves lives!
I had one cat and she never left me alone. I got her a male cat, about the same age as her (1 year), to keep her company. Now they play together and forget about me sometimes but she still gives me alot of affection.
*a lot Two words, not one. Think of it like this: a few, a little, a bunch, a _whole_ bunch, a lot, a _whole_ lot.
@@alvallac2171 *Spelling Police here* I will keep spelling it alot...Thanks Alot!
@@punkask3619 lmao
Consider getting Petunia a sibling. Double the entertainment and she’ll be less lonely and have more stimulation.❤❤
I've read that is not always true. Cats are very territorial and some of them do not adapt well to another cat.
@@Chatta-OrtegaYeah this is true! For some cats it’s good but for others they see their humans as fellow members of their pack/clan/group/whatever you would call it so adding in another cat may make them feel threatened
She's a ragdoll, she is not like other cats. Find yourself a ragdoll community - they will be able to give you the specialist info. Congrats Ragdolls are gorgeous. She's also going to get big.
Ragdoll are a good choice for prospective owners who are looking for dog like qualities. Maine coon and the Sphynx are some of the others.
Yes !!! They are very unique kitties ^^
Ragdoll cats are lovies who want to be close.
Cats really are awesome... such a comfort, great fun and entertainment, and so much love. ❤ You've become the best cat parent she could have!
The cutest kitten I've ever seen turned into an absolutely gorgeous cat, you're so lucky to have her.
Cats are the absolute best. You are hers. Love her forever.
We used to have a cat with that coloring who also *loved* playing fetch.
Petunia is a sweetheart, you are her two legged big cats , my cat acts the complete opposite way , he prefers to be alone except feeding time
She is adorable and beautiful. Congratulations on becoming a cat mom!
They were just weird cat people in denial. I seriously love that they were open to adopting a kitty and even more that they love her so much and take her everywhere like the little baby she is! What a lovely family 😻💗
You need to get her a sister. Twice the fun!
SI!
I was thinking the same thing. Or a baby brother ❤
Oh that kitty's little precious face!🥰
Aww! Petunia is Absolutely a Sweetheart & Gorgeous! What a face!!! All it takes is One cat to fall in love with the feline species!
What a precious Ragdoll baby! You are so lucky to have one 😻 She's actually using her hunting behaviors sneaking up on you like that. She needs a friend too! That helps with some of the neediness and clinginess.
Petunia is honing her hunting skills. Yes, she has bonded with you, affection, trust etc but some kittens love the whole “hunting game”. You appear to respond well to that so hey presto she is indeed becoming the cat she is supposed to be, hunting skills and all. Good luck to your family 😊.
She is such a beautiful and sweet cat , full of personality. She is as lucky to have you as you are to have her.
I love that Miss Petunia has turned you into a cat person. Cats tend to do that. You are such a wonderful mommy to her!! Petunia is so blessed to have you both! And, I will never understand why people say that cats are independent. I've had cats all of my life and never had one that I would consider to be independent. The two I have now are very needy!! Blessings to you all 😊💖🙏
Should say wonderful owner, buddy acceptable too if the animal agrees to it lol, that is not a ''mommy'' bcz people are not related to animals. Live in the real world maybe?
@@Vero2yu Who are you to say what is and isn't "acceptable" ? I swear these brain-dead snowflakes these days
I inherited two cats, both of whom are semi-clingy, I think. If I'm sitting down, the boy will appear and tell me about it until I let him on my lap. He follows me around, and will sit at the door if I go out for any length of time, and meow sadly (so I have been informed), until I return. His sister, on the other hand, will keep an eye on where people are, but does NOT like to be held, will only come to me if it's time for food, and just looks at me like, "Have you lost your mind?", if I try to get her to play. But, when I go to bed, I have to hide my hands under the covers, because she has decided that NOW I MUST PET HER. NOW!!!!! The head butts, the pawing at the covers, until I finally give in. I don't need to do anything but hold my hand out, she will rub all over it. Then, when she is done, she jumps off the bed and, with tail high in the air, mosies out to unknown places, until next time. ❤❤❤
"Everyone should give cats a chance" is ABSOLUTELY right! What an adorable little family, congratulations!🎉 🐈❤
When cat-daddy said she’s “tie-tie” I pretty much melted.
Cats get lonely, it's usually advised to get two, this stops them being so clingy
I think they enjoy the clingyness
Yes, kittens need a buddy cat. It's an important part of their mental development. A lot of the 'I didn't expect that' behavior in this video is symptomatic of "Single Kitten Syndrome" which is a real thing. You can look it up.
Is Petunia a Ragdoll?? She is so like my kitty Maggie who is no longer with us and she was a Ragdoll. They are the most affectionate of all breeds I think. Petunia is just beautiful and you are so lucky to have her!! Make sure you soak-up all of the fabulousness that is her!! XOX From Ireland
She definitely looks like one!! I have a Ragdoll named Mochi and she’s the absolute best. 😊
I'd say *definitely* so. I've been seeing a lot of ragdoll videos recently, I wonder if they are gaining popularity? :0
Cats are such a wonderful addition to anyone’s family they just immediately get attached to you and always show you love
There's nothing more precious and loving ❤ than being stalked by a kitty fur baby! 🥰😍
I had a cat years ago who played fetch with me and my deceased husband, his cat played fetch also. It's adorable when cats do it.
I’ve always loved cats. I’m definitely a cat person. I have 22 right now. People dump them on us and we can’t bear to take them to the shelter.
Petunia--what an AWESOME name!!! 🥰❤️ 🐈 🇨🇦
Congratulations on having a fun, loving and sweet cat. They can change your life for good and beautiful things. 😍
The only time you need to keep a new kitten in a separate room is when you’re introducing new cats to each other - completely unnecessary
Congratulations! Petunia is precious! And you are WONDERFUL CAT PARENTS! Keep up the good work!
Kitty loves n trust both of you, clearly reflecting the love n care you have given, enjoy n cheers to all three of you & thanks Dodo
That cat hit the jackpot. Such great pet owners❤
Thank you for the update, The Dodo..!! Such cute kitten..!! ❤
Lovely story. Your cat is very lucky...I can hear the love you have for her in your voice.😺😊
I agree they should not be alone, they need company too. It helps them feel secure. They are not low maintenance they are the center of attention. I thought she was playing "hunting games" with her mom. So cute.
Fricken adorable ragdoll!! I have a boy rag. Such a sweetheart!!
Petunia pretty girl. ❤
What a gorgeous cat!
Ragdolls are the best! Mine is super clingy too and I just love it. He’s the biggest love bug ever.
Petunia looks like a Snowshow Siamese. Siamese are very social, vocal and need human companionship, unlike some other cat breeds. I’m writing this as MY Seal Point Siamese, Missy, is stretched out across my lap taking her mid day siesta. 😁
They also meow at their people, not their fellow cats ❤
When you get or dog or any type of animal, thers a beautiful bond, unconditional love ..❤❤🙏 beautiful family
Petunia chooses you guys and giving her all the love is great. Congrats to both of you 💚😻🥰💚😻🥰💚😻🥰
That's a ragdoll ... dog in cat form
Yup. Once you take the red pill, you have entered the Meow-trix. 😹 😎 no turning back now.
this is the most adorable thing I have ever seen in my whole life
Petunia is freaking ADORABLE! ❤
Once you have cat you never go back
So adorable 😊🥰
She’s gorgeous! My dearly departed Tula liked playing fetch too she was so smart. I love Petunia!
She's beautiful 😍.
This critter is diabolical. 🎉🎉🎉
There are cats, then there are Siamese cats! They are extremely needy and crave attention ❤
She’s a Ragdoll, they r known to be lovey cats. I had a Tortie for 15 yrs & she wasn’t as Lovey as other cats I’ve had. They are all wonderful in their own ways
That little thief stole mom and dad's hearts all at once !
You might want to get a companion cat for your kittens. 2 cats are better than one, except if you can't afford a second cat.
😊❤❤❤ so cute
What a derby look she has❤❤❤❤she is extra precious ❤❤❤❤
So sweet. We found my first cat who was a kitten, less than 8 weeks old wondering around downtown, in a pipe. I wanted a cat but wasn't yet looking for a cat when she showed up and found me. I will never forget how I felt being adorned with her cuteness, sweetness and love. I'm sure I drove everyone around me crazy because for months all I talked about was my "baby girl". I was under the impression that cats just lay around, but truly they are precious! Enjoy your first little one!
Jackson Galaxy has a LOT of information
Yes! I'd be more inclined to rely on his pretty extensive experience and research than on advice from TikTok randos?? 😅
Critters Rule!
Cats can be such dorks! Our two are a year part, both rescues, and can get into everything. It’s really funny when both of them get the zoomies and terrorize the house.
You've provided her with a great home. Now she just needs a friend!
Why would you want to go back to pre-cat days?!
Kitten leaves Mom for the first time to spend a week in solitary cell and becomes clingy…. I wonder why?Lovely people, really kind people, but isolating a baby in the smallest room isn’t really what “introduce to one room at first” means.
Leave mom? What ''Mom'' are you talking about? They did not say they adopted the kittens mom at all. So what Mom are you talking about?
@@Vero2yu I am talking about whatever cat gave birth to this kitten! It is a few weeks old, and hopefully it has not been parted long from the mother or its littermates. Does it not seem obvious that - at the age they got it - all being well, a kitten would never have been alone in its life for more than a couple of minutes? To suddenly be away from everyone and everything it knows is a big deal, but to add to that an entire week spent mostly in solitary - when it probably was never alone even for one *hour* before - must have been very stressful.
Petunia hit the lottery with her mom and dad!!! She is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! ❤❤❤❤
It's refreshing to see someone who understands that cats do not like to be left alone. You are their world. Share your world with them.
I could no longer watch this as soon as she said she gets all her answers from TikTok 😞
Tik Tok gave you the answers? God help that kitten.
Petunia is just SO CUTE.
The "cat mom" or "dog mom" identity is so cringe... you mean you have a pet.
Super cringe
No, they have a human.
Cry more, that will help.
How? It's no different from someone saying they're more of a Pepsi drinker or a Coca-Cola drinker. Since when has titling your preferences been cringe?
Petunia is Beautiful ❤ n you both are the best parents. Pets are family ❤
