Oskar the Blind Kitten Tries Out Catnip Spray

[ivanovsd]

Claus looks more down to earth, while Oscar is all like YAY lovelly boys :)

[WrenxAirie]

I'm just thinking... if being without one of your senses heightens the other senses.... Oscar must be on sensory overload around catnip :'3

[theartbook35]

ZOMG Egyptian mau, one of my favorite breeds <3 I have one that's part E.M., he gets pretty insane over the catnip spray.

[AaronMahin]

This video has probably sold so many bottles of that spray. My fiancee saw it and immediately ordered it.

[Mick12321kciM]

@AaronMahin It's good stuff -- and it lasts a long time too!

[uglydoll26]

Oskar: Awwww Yeah... CAT NIP! >:3 *Like A Boss!*

[TheSilver312]

What does Catnip do?

[LordFuzzybottom]

@TheSilver312 it's a mild sedative I think, but really it's just a grass from the mint family that cats like.Some cats like it, some don't. They usually get very relaxed and attracted to the scent. Some though get very excited and kinda jumpy. Again, it all depends on the cat and its personality.

[johncalford]

I LOVE OSKAR

[Mick12321kciM]

@johncalford : )

[KrownClown]

you treat your cats very well, I'm a 20 year old male in the military and I absolutely love cats! They are great, and very intelligent.

[Mick12321kciM]

@KrownClown Thank you -- I totally agree, cats are extremely intelligent. It's great to watch them solve problems and adapt to their environment.

[TheSugarbabe1996]

Oscar has a very good hearing :D

[ShiroRyuuzaki]

Soooo cute! Seriously, you guy restore my faith in humanity. Treating the blind kitten like every other cat and having fun with him is really a great attitude. Thanks for the video. Awesome!

[Mick12321kciM]

@ShiroRyuuzaki Thank you for your kind words!

[Mick12321kciM]

@WhitePanther18 Thanks for the kind words! Oskar has no eyes at all.

[KingManOld]

My cat isnt a fan of catnip, just stares at it and leaves it. She is the 25%.

[PlaceholderHeart]

you cats are awesome

[hannahgilb]

Meow.



[Mick12321kciM]

@hannahgilb Meow!

[jakiblu1]

aww so cute

[mjucakittykat]

aww so sorry for oscar that hes blind but i see that he feels just like the other cats

[x0xpartyrockinLinz]

What beautiful cats you have. My kitten hears your bell toys and is looking for hers ! hehe

[pellotjm]

@x0xpartyrockinLinz same here! she got up to the screen too!

[barbaraalemoa]

Oskar is so SMART! And Klaus is so cute

[PullyElbow27]

@barbaraalemoa He's blind, not retarded by any regard.

[TheRollomobile]

"claus do you like it?"

"..."

[Airgirl]

Both of them are just beautiful cats.

[lohphat]

KITTEH BONG TYME!

Dude...

[kitty62862]

A wittle nippeh for teh kitteh! I love how Klaus is just above it all, that is the funniest part!

[Mick12321kciM]

@kitty62862 Klaus does break down from time to time, however, and does go crazy for dried catnip!

[bastian74]

Next time on Intervention. Oskar used to be such a loving cat

[eklectiktoni]

Oskar loved it, but Claus was like...meh. LOL, It's funny how they're so different.

[sharkshockey19]

@eklectiktoni oskar is just a lightweight, klaus is like you need to inject it into my veins for it to effect me.

[WackoBucksho]

that is so awesome! We have the same Tunnel for our cats and they LOVE IT, Glad Oskar is doing great!!!

[Tehffy]

Meus gatos não reagem tão bem assim nos meus vídeos \õ/

[multiplecathousehold]

LOVE Oskar! And Klaus too!

[kpmailman]

I enjoy Oskar and Klaus, and I have to give kudos to you on sending all the profits from merch to rescue orgs. My dogs are rescues, and they're the best! Oh, not a cat owner, but still a cat lover!

[JUNE5BABE]

I am so in love with Klaus and Oskar!!!

[AGreyDawn]

Oskar on Klaus accidental headbutt!

[lizzyjo27]

"One spray per day, that's all you get."

"But I want moar!"

[aneacolacao]

I love your cats... ♥♥ Luckily for them they found good people to care and love them

[bookgrillcom]

Oskar si a very special cat, I think his feelings and hearing are very well developed, much better than for a simple cat

[AtsushiRoss]

oskar and claus are very special cats =) ♥ lizerg,kiba,hyuga and uruha my 4 cats, send hugs to oskar and claus :3

[Mick12321kciM]

@AtsushiRoss Thank you so much -- all the best to you!

[ayanishiki22]

@AtsushiRoss awesome cat names. i bet i have an idea where the names are from :D

[kap7913]

awww, so cute. I tried catnip with my little baby, he wasn't even phased! lol, boo!

[aneacolacao]

@kap7913 Catnip only works in cats older than 6 months =) my cat goes crazy with it...

[Elfy4U]

Oskar you are one lucky cat :)

[wholoveskitty]

Oskar & Klaus I -3 you both! You have the best Mom and Dad!

[menond]

man, i can't believe how big he's gotten!

[Scapahelen]

He is fab! I like Lugless Douglas too :oD

[Deusrexmachina]

it's just like one huge bong for him...

=)

[HippieGirlClaire]

Omg your cats are adorable!. Its fantastic to see how well Oskar is doing.

[kerstinejaynelong]

Oskar you are adorable........love you xxxx <3

[TheToelew]

Look at his spots! How beautiful!!

[monika4711]

So sweet... :)

[taramorse]

I know all kittens grow, but Oskar seems so much bigger now. Does he still love the 'box' the hair dryer?

[Mick12321kciM]

@taramorse He's getting big for sure. We let him play with the air from the hair dryer once in a while, but we haven't for the past month or so. We will try it again soon - it may be time for a rematch! Take care!

[jessicarh87]

his blindness sure doesn't slow him down

[93sika]

@jessicarh87 Just what I thought - he's so very adorable :). I'd not have the same passion about this kitty if he wasn't blind. I feel like adopting a second cat now, be it blind, I'd still love it =)

[mrbunny5150]

I meant to say that Lola is a Bengal....her markings are very similar to Oskars. Bengals are part Tabby, part Egyptian Mau, part wild Asian Leopard Cat, and I forget what else.

[sumame47]

Love seeing Oskar and his hijinks!!!

[fraggmonkey]

Ha, i would've loved to see his comedown the nex day, or the munchies.

[Mick12321kciM]

@fraggmonkey Oskar never comes down! Always crazy, and that's the way we like him!

[ilovejazzypoo]

Is Oskar an Egyptian Mau?

[Mick12321kciM]

@ilovejazzypoo I don't think so -- although he may have some Mau in the mix. Some people said he's a Bengal too. My best guess is that he is a Tabby with some nice markings.

[ScrubsTheNewcomers]

@Mick12321kciM Do you live in Germany, or near to it? Because actually Oscar and especially Klaus are very popular german names ;)

[Mick12321kciM]

@ScrubsTheNewcomers Nope - we live right in the middle of the US, in Omaha, Nebraska (at least for now). Klaus was named after Klaus Kinski. After that we just had to keep the Germanic names going. 

[MCRismylife1997]

awhhh!!!! and BTW...not like anybody cares, i LIVE in Lincoln Nebraska, and visit every weekend in Omaha....i definitely have to see if my mom will let us go see Oskar!!

[Mick12321kciM]

@MCRismylife1997 Sure thing!

[CatLady491]

These are the sweetest kitties, and you are wonderful for caring so much for them. I love my cats so much so it does my heart good to see others who feel the same way, especially for cats with special needs. I love these guys!

[sylnanu]

I love Oskar!! Keep the videos coming:)

[EEKentertainment]

Such a neat kitty.

[cfischer39]

You post some of the most heart warming videos I've seen. Thank you, and keep it up

[ThoughtsofBradington]

nebraska? i've been wanting to go there. i saw a website and there's a lot of great stuff there i'd love to see. maybe if i go sometime this year i'll let y'all know.

[Mick12321kciM]

@ThoughtsofBradington Sure thing!

[fortunelady88]

Oscar is a beautiful cat

[Terifique]

Oscar is so cute and soo lucky. You are great people for taking care of a blind kitten that others would reject!!! ^^

[RAAAJcom]

Great! A spray that makes cats act like normal dogs.

[hapahaole8o8]

YAY Oskar! And Klaus! :) "One catnip spray per day" LOL

[scarletmisfit]

I had that same crinkly tunnel and my cats hated it, so I gave it to a friend! I want to try some of this catnip spray, though. :P

[catnipfever22]

whats catnip? lol

[HeyItsMeCrystal]

My cat loves the catnip spray, I try to give it to her as an extra treat. So wonderful to see this, thank you for sharing these home videos of your kiddo's!

[Buckets1988]

Adorable!

[sodacoaster]

Not all cats respond in the same way to catnip. Oscar seems to like it a lot while Klaus seemed to only have a mild response.

[BrIaNa921]

lol for a second i thought klause had a bowtie! :P

[knakrzy]

Impressive how fast he is.

[tokfm]

My Oscar... :)

[misfitwitch]

I think he likes it... Hey Mikey!!!...hahahaha

[Stormcat1]

They say when you lose on of your five senses, the other four get a lot stronger. Catnip must smell EVEN BETTER to a blind cat!

[arachnophilegrrl]

Oh my gosh - he's gotten SO BIG!!!

[ThePeaceluffer]

0:33 Oskar x rug with catnip spray

[ZinqNeon]

Omg there so cutie

[youaremysong098]

OmG who nibbles Klaus ear :( ?

[mimi7cute816]

What happened to Klaus' ear? :) I wanna know his story too. <3

[aboyandhisbass]

I love Oskar!

[black4pienus]

my cat doesn't care for catnip at all. is something wrong with my cat? lol

I see that Oskar doesn't need eyes to be a happy kitteh! he's so cute!

[ZetsubouJohnny]

Oskar has grown so much, he's so cute! Hope you feel better soon.

[SaminoChene]

Awww! I just love Oskar!

[groofoot]

Oskar has the prettiest markings! :D

[thereseball]

Keep the Oskar & Klaus videos coming!! Smiles & joy :-)

[LittleMePlanet27]

this is brilliant, i love oskar and i have 3 cats and one of them isnt very well cos he has diabeetes

(sorry i dont know how to spell :P) and has had a toe amputated and half of his tail has been amutated as well and when i watch this it makes me feel like if even the worst was to happen, he would make do. thank you for posting these videos!

[fion0629]

Oskar長大了 ^^

[eatingfood1]

Oskar the blind stoner! lol

[AnZoR236]

You try giving them the catnip plant instead :)

[noonecsdotlvivua]

He has grown so much!

Keep It on guys, he needs you!

[TokyoChicana]

Talk about feel good videos. :) We need more of these type of videos on You Tube. With so much sad videos and news regarding dogs and cats I'm very happy to stumble to Oskar and Klaus. Give those kitties a belly rub for me and keep posting. Thank you :-)

[Kat1137]

I find it fascinating how animals adapt so well to a "disability", although from watching your wonderful videos, Oskar has no disability whatsoever! I love watching your boys. Keep the videos coming! And again, thank you for giving such a loving home to these (as my niece would say) perfectly imperfect fellas that most people would have passed by!

[TheRealJen]

love these two sweethearts, what wonderful kitties you have! Oskar has gotten so big since the last video I viewed!

[treetopteresa]

lol Doesnt take much to get Oskar wound up does it?

[ClokworkMonster]

hes tripping balls

[Smulborn]

How does Oscar go to the toilet D:

[toolworks]

@Smulborn If a cat knows it's way around the house (like just about all blind cats do) It will go to the toilet like any normal cat does. :)

[TheBinggg]

more youtubers should find this ! omg who could be mean after these ;')



[Amelandse]

Our two cats like catnip spray too. Just the first few seconds after applying they hesitate a little.

I guess that's because of the solution in which the catnip essence is dissolved.

Thanks for sharing the life of Oscar with us, he's a very lucky and happy cat!

[vanillacolors]

what happened to klaus's ear?

[plophopfire]

at 2:15 klaus only haves one ear o:

[ReidTheSwede]

Yay!

I subscribed to your videos a few days ago, watched all of them, and have been patiently awaiting more blind-feline-adorableness. Oskar is a symbol of hope and happiness to both animals and humans alike!

[shionnomama]

Go Oskar! You rule the world!

[kangakangaboi]

Hugh 3284. If you dont care about Oscar why bother posting??????????

[Amitrip0tylin]

Ah, he enjoys life so much ^_^ Despite everything, he is one lucky guy that you take such good care of him.

[hugh3284]

Seriously...... Who gives a shit about a blind cat...

[Amitrip0tylin]

@hugh3284 What are you doing here, dimwit?

[Mrjal6h]

hes blind but his so smart then any cat can see i love that cat since the first vid for him

[townshend4]

Is Oskar still a kitten? He grew so big now :)

[mlong61]

What a gorgeous patterned coat Oskar is sporting! Despite his inability to see, he certainly seems quite content in his world, and his pet person is most likely very attentive to his needs. Oskar is an inspiration, and a You Tube celebrity; gotta love that kitty!

[vagtasticone]

There's also a breed called "ocicat" (pronounced "ossee-cat" like the ocelot) that he also resembles with his markings and body shape ;)

[FYAMOM2X]

Blind cat

[rebel3353]

damn that cat is high as a kite!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

Look's like a big THUMB'S UP for the catnip spray [AND this video!] I love how fearless Oskar is! =o)

[NoCreamedCorn]

He is getting to be a big boy!!! And I love the pattern of his coat. What a beauty. You're lucky to have found each other!

[mrbunny5150]

Oskar looks like a Bengal to me. I have one, Lola, and they have very similar markings. Bengals are pretty adventurous and, well, different, to say the least. Lola is very vocal, does Oskar have a lot to say? Oskar is a great cat, and Klaus is cool too. Keep the videos coming, great stuff!!

[eggizgud]

my fav kitties!

[Pandor4Tumblr]

I haven't watched any of your videos since the first video you have of Oskar, he's grown a lot! It's really nice seeing the transition and I'm glad he's a happy cat :)

[TheEschwank02]

amazing agility for a blind cat, really!

[Awesomeman2231]

i was smiling the whole time! :)

[ROSESAPPHIREx]

Those little mice are so much fun. My cats love them :)

[ThoughtsofBradington]

i want to meet oskar. is this possible?

[Mick12321kciM]

@ThoughtsofBradington Perhaps it's doable. Let me know when you're in Omaha (maybe you already are). Send a direct message to me via YouTube. Oskar loves showing off for people. Take care!

[tseng616]

you have inspired me to keep blind cat in the future

[quickdrawMMX]

I love Oskar! (and Klaus)

[carloskillerbiatch]

what i love about these videos is that, these are not the typical lol cat videos, these videos are not just cute but awesome becouse they show you how a blind cat can do everything just with the nose and the videos are a good example of how the animals should be treated

[MsMerry]

I just ordered two bottles of the spray.

[Stormy200929]

he might be bengal or Savanah but it looks like you have two tabbys Oskar looks like a spotted Tabby and Klaus is your normal striped Tabby

[LiveForeverFreeUntil]

It's amazing how heightened his other senses are, you can't even notice he is blind!

[Mekaloidz1]

I wish i had a cat :)

[MariaWB]

He's getting so big! And it might just be me, but perhaps a little pudgy? On the verge of being a little pudgy? I shouldn't point fingers, though - I've had fat guinea pigs, rabbits, rats and cats, and my dog always gets a little round during the winter months. She hates rain and won't go for long walks when it's wet. She loses it again in the spring, though =)

[pacifistattack]

My two cats (Chef-the younger one/ Honda the older-now deceased) have acted just like Oskar and Klaus. Chef loves the stuff, but Honda pulled away just like Klaus did, as if the smell offends him.

[completelyvirusfreee]

ok im really start dying of cutness can someone call the hospitol please?

[artwel123]

Oskar has some awesome markings, like a wild cat! Klaus looked like he had a black Bow tie there for a sec. Cute

[xPaperLove]

Klaus always looks like he's saluting with his ears like that.. cutest cats in the world!

[freakdujour]

Oskar is absolutely beautiful!

[sleeeeezak]

:3 im going to steal Oskar from you and be his best friend. watch your back. (just kidding haha)

[jtothemac103]

Oskar is sooo good with his surroundings its like he has eyes!!

[DigiFanKira]

This is adorable! He's so big now!

[EdentiaFarms]

I think Klaus is a little scared by the "spraying" sounds but Oskar loves it! =)

[snugglebunnywit]

Oskar is so cute! He has grown up a LOT since the first video. Glad he has such a wonderful home! :D

And Klaus could care less about the spray... >.>

[Mick12321kciM]

@snugglebunnywit Klaus was sniffing the mouse later on -- I think he likes it too. Oskar, on the other hand, is a catnip maniac! Maybe he has an elevated sense of smell due to the blindness?!

[halfgoodhalfevil]

@Mick12321kciM I heard that a cat has to be born with a specific gene in order to like catnip. I'm inclined to believe that statement because my one cat loves it and my other could care less; this seems like the case with your cats too.

[MCSwatboy]

@Mick12321kciM their sense of hearing and smell is extremely elevated because of less RAM being used by eyes. ( Yes, I use RAM to make it more understandable)

[howlerwolfpro]

hi

[lupienna1]

Is Oskar a savannah?

[Mick12321kciM]

@lupienna1 I don't think so -- but maybe there's a bit in the mix, who knows. I don't know that much about cat breeds, but I assumed he's a normal tabby. Some people say he looks like a Bengal, and I have heard Savannah before too. He won't say! : )

[HarderScotland]

Klaus is cool haha hes like " yeah whatever" haha xD

[1Tubintut]

Love watching your boy.....he makes me smile

[creccy]

Nice to see Oskar enjoying his cat nip seems Klaus is`nt too sure enjoy Oskar !!!!!!!!!! as we enjoy knowing what you are getting up to .

[EsenxGundam]

I have to say that Oskar is a really pretty cat, I love his spots.

[FinalEx3cution]

How cute!

[jogja4ever]

haha cats do drug!

[divdawgd]

first :)
