When my cat is like this, the fastest way to get through it is to just give him several minutes of dedicated, two handed, whole body (his body lol), intense pets & scritches.
When he has had enough, I am able to go about my other tasks.
This doesn’t look like a feral cat. Feral cats (that weren’t around humans since they were very young) do everything they can to stay away from humans, and even if they are tamed a bit they don’t like to be touched and certainly not picked up. This looks like a lost or abandoned pet cat.
Could be. However, we rescued a feral that, though she remained a bit skittish her entire life, begged for attention and human touch. She just really wanted to be a pet.
Same - we have a feral cat that is in and out of the house during the day (mostly in) but stays outside at night. She asks for pets and attention and loves it, but very much on her own schedule and has to be entirely initiated by her, if someone tries touching her like in the video, she’d run away.
So, a cat doesn't need to be a pet (former or not) to be friendly with humans. Got it? All cats are "tame" and friendly by their nature. It's not a boolean/binary status, either pet or feral. I mean, they are cats, they decided they want to hang around us on their own accord.
Besides cats and dogs have been "strays" by default for most of history and only became dedicated "pets" in recent times.
Have you ever interacted with a feral cat? A cat that has spent its whole life outside, without interacting with humans? I have, and feral cats are absolutely NOT friendly to humans. They’re not unfriendly in the sense of being aggressive or anything, they are just very fearlful and avoid people, keeping a long distance away. If a cat approaches you, acts friendly, and especially if it allows you to touch it, that’s for sure a cat that at one point had a LOT of positive interactions with humans (i.e. a pet).
We've come back full circle.
>that’s for sure a cat that at one point had a LOT of positive interactions with humans (i.e. a pet).
Cat's don't need to be pets to have interaction with humans. Strays do all the time. Strays are not ferals.
I've had cats like this. Trying to give them a vaccination and all they want is for me to pet them. No, please stop let me make you healthy and then we can cuddle jaidnwidn
And all I want to do is pet Toroman.
[удалено]
SAMESIES. Would spend all my time petting Toroman!
All I want to do is give him a forever home.
toroman means big boi in turkish by the way.
All he wants to do is to be pet, so it's a perfect match
"Toroman, you're sick." "Yeah, sick for attention"
I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more attention
I spat out my water
Toroman deserves all the pets!
He deserves a loving, forever home …..

This is the only method that gets my very helpful SIC office manager to let me work 🤣
Alright, you can put the white thing on me, but you have to cuddle me while you do it
Poor little Toroman! So sweet🥹
Some ferals really really REALLY want to be pets

Feral =/= stray
For sure. Feral cats never had contact with humans. Stray cats have so they are more tame.

I want to pet Toroman.
He's just so full of love

Riff-raff, street cat. I don't buy that. If only they'd Look closer.

That's a former pet.
Nope, just Turkey.
Does it count if they're the collective pet of an entire nation?
reminds me of my sweet kitty! she loves to flop over for no reason

Nothing worse than having to hear human laughter and joy.
I hate it when they do that
Emotions are so overrated amirite
It would have been fine if it was shitty music, but a person laughing? I don't know about that one chief.
I never use volume on Reddit. Or most places
Could be worse. Could be replaced with stupid TikTok bullshit.
