Trying to pet my old feral cat, Animal Advocates, Mary Cummins

[92stoner]

Mate wat u have done is really kind and nice.. this world needs more people like you, my mum has tamed 2 stray cats and other cats come to my house for food.. i have no idea what people think of us as,(crazy animal lovers) lol i dont care but i know to many people who buy pets and treat them like toys or they act like there their just to shout at.. im not ashamed at all to say i hate the human race compared to any animal, ALL my pets show more afection that most people i have ever met do.

[LoveSilkribboner]

i saw your comment did you know that hemp oil cures cancer? well for humans but since certain animals human traits it might work on cats .

[Rizzolification]

I have 2 ferals and one stray I'm caring for. The ferals are as ferals are, very shy but finally....the one I call sophie is starting to tolerate my presence, she doesn't run as far as she once did.....I aim to pet her one of these days...her brother "ghost" on the other hand is much more cautious. I call the stray Chat L'Orange and he loves to be petted but is not much for being indoors alot.

[walk4trot2canter3]

My feral cats love me and the food I provide, yet won't let me touch them. Not even the baby. But they will rub their bodies against my legs and feet! I love my feral cats!

[chrismc410]

Poor kitty

[dinomon]

I like her!

[Oldbmwr100rs]

My dad had an old feral cat that would sneak in to eat his cat's food.I say sneak, but actually you could hear him struggling his way up the flight of stairs, gasping and wheezing like he's been smoking all his life! That poor old cat sure went through a lot to get to a plate of canned food though,and we were happy to let him.

[MikroBadass]

you did good Mary

[AngieL2310]

Aww. Poor old kitty. It's amazing that she made it to 24 with her being essentially wild.I have a kitty that is kinda like that. He was not entirely feral, but had obviously been abandoned a long time ago. It took a year for him to start warming up to us. He still doesn't like other people. I would take him in in a heartbeat if I could, but there are allergies that I have to worry about. :( Still, he gets fed everyday, and has a really nice cat house. He also gets lots of attention. :D

[The3rdArmored]

@CakeMace:

Troll much?

[nintendax12]

Stupid asshole

[ker246]

Wow, I didn't even know cats could live to be 24!! You're so nice for taking care of her.

[MaryCummins]

@ker246 Some cats have lived over 36 years. I have another 23 year old cat now but  he may have cancer on his nose.

[equarg]

You gave her kindness when no one else would have. For that you will be truly blessed.

[billiter]

Hi Mary

Bless your heart for all you do! We have a family here we are friends with who run a Wildlife Rehab as well!! You are truly special people - thank you for all you do and the time it takes (and the extra work to try to get funding!). We have 11 cats - all rescues - they all 'found' us.... we have a few ferals - all have come around over time ' on their own terms ' !!

[FlyingChainChomp]

I could never raise a pet that old... it would take too long to train and earn my trust. I prefer raising week old kittens that think you're they're mommy and try to look for a nipple on your stomach. Even though I'm a dude and that's totally gross but it was soooo cute... it trusts me enough to run on top of my shoulder when loud noises scare him.

[WolfsRainBlue556]

@ILIKESFLANS did you not read the description right? She said she took in

[bloominglove27]

RIP Dead Kitty

[MrBilbo13]

I think its harder to pet an old feral cat. Good job anyway !

[N2B814]

hehe, hiss at me and I'll take your food away. ^^

[ILIKESFLAN]

That cat was really shit. Next time get a better cat, it will live longer.

[KingManOld]

My cat had a heart attack too, worst day after school find your cat dead T_T WHY.

[MikroBadass]

:( I'm sorry you lost her....she's precious

[antongirdeux07]

cats give no respect, to hell with em.

[MySnaz]

@antongirdeux07 You are so wrong and so ignorant

[antongirdeux07]

@MySnaz you call me ignorant when i stated my own opinion, look whos ignorant now you trash can.

[MySnaz]

@antongirdeux07 You don't know cats, you're the ignorant one.

[antongirdeux07]

@MySnaz i had a cat, it was the worst pet ever, i let it go. got a dog, and loveh

[MySnaz]

@antongirdeux07 Me. I prefer cats. I love dogs too but I would rather have a cat.

[Offertory]

@antongirdeux07 You let it go? Like, just left it outside? I truly hope I misunderstood, because I can't believe you would be proud of that. It's fine to not like cats. It's not okay to abandon an innocent, domesticated animal. >.<

[antongirdeux07]

@Offertory yah into a volcano on jupiter

[rocketlauncher2]

Don't pet a cat while she's eating. Don't pet again when she moves away. Jesus

[wildstyled]

omg! I'm sorry the old kitty died...did you at least get to pet her before she died?

[aprilhsiung]

that is such a beautiful story...thank you for having a big heart

[eballs25]

IM sorry your cat died...

[Christ135]

aww sorry your cat died. she's very beautiful :) i have a cat that is 5 years old and is still as awesome as ever.

[kielwhite23]

shoot it

[1lightspeed]

OMG Mary! I was just looking at some cat videos on YouTube...and YOU POP UP?! I'm really not believing this! You are the same one that just posted your rescue of the white dog on FaceBook! Damn! I'm Deb Conner

[MaryCummins]

@1lightspeed It's a small world. The internet is getting smaller every day. Happy Holidays!

[RockerGrrrrl74]

Yes I'll have to agree with CatRescue6...Bless You for taking her in!!!

[CatRescue6]

Bless you for taking her in! They usually do come around, did she?

[spastikman]

Less bitching, more cute animals.

[Blinxerizer]

I got a feral cat from my aunt couple years back. She was thin and very skidish. She stayed in my room alot because we also had dogs (they are good with cats but a little nosey) As time went on and I cared for her, feeding her, and eventualy grew to trust me and now she loves me... oh yeah and she got pretty tubby. She's a darling though. Her name is Amy.

[ONELOVE420BUG]

WTF are Larry and Cake talking about?

[Larrywalker11]

It's good to see people like you in the world. Thanks, and I'm sorry for the loss of your cat.

[gaelicscots]

How do you know it was 24, did you cut it open and count it rings ?

[ganzano]

You are a jackass. You can determine the relative age of many animals via dental examination and bone density measurements.

I assume you are a fry-cook at McDonalds with your level of education.

Welcome to fail-ville, population....you.

[Starlaine1989]

O_O wow.. it hisses at you?

[RileyGosselin]

I'm sorry to hear about dead kitty.. She was very cute .

[KITTYKITTYBO]

Bless you for taking such good care of her! And taking her into your home. Even though she was old and feeling it. I bet it was the best two years of her life.

You gave her security-

And when your ready a kitty will find you again.

[CakeMace]

good to see the piece of shit died

hope it burns in hell

[torchicamn]

then why watch this vid mother fucker i hope you burm in hell

[CakeMace]

mother fucker?

rofl, what are you... 6 years old?

[torchicamn]

no you idiot why watch it i rea;;y hope you burn n hell and suffer for the rest of time i dont care what you come back with if your replying your just addmittingit

[CakeMace]

Cry more?

[CakeMace]

You fail

cry more?

[torchicamn]

you fail cry more

[CakeMace]

you fail, cry more?

[torchicamn]

you fail cry more leave me the fuck alone idiot your probaly some nerd that "acts tuff" on the computer

[CakeMace]

Oooooo

cry more?

[Larrywalker11]

why even say something like that? are you afraid of animals or was your childhood filled with haunted memories of a cat attack? If not, I suppose you are mentally defunct. People of low intelligence usually have outbursts like you, poor poor CakeMace.

[CakeMace]

at least I'm not stupid enough to like these animals, which says a lot about you

[Larrywalker11]

:] doesn't say much about me, but indeed does say alot about your overwhelming lack of intelligence and good comebacks.

[CakeMace]

well that says a lot about your intelligence... it says your about 0% intelligent

[Larrywalker11]

It's actually "you're", not "your"...buddy I think you've lost as this point :]

[CakeMace]

at what point? minor corrections mean nothing

[Larrywalker11]

It does if YOU'RE trying to claim someone is an idiot. Also, the fact that you are grasping for anything now. Good try, better luck next time!

[CakeMace]

actually, it doesn't. explanation fail, you fail

have a nice day sir

[Larrywalker11]

Spouting memes does nothing...and it's ma'am :)

good day child!

[CakeMace]

a girl named Larry? Wow, just wow...

[Larrywalker11]

By that assumption you're name is Cake. I'll say it in a way you can understand: ur an idiot lolz

[CakeMace]

thats a dumb assumption, cake is not a persons name, Larry is...

your parents must have really hated you

[Larrywalker11]

and you probably had neglectful ones...I feel pretty bad for you at this point :(

[CakeMace]

but I'm not, see i don't own a cat who runs around the neighborhood killing things and making messes out of peoples gardens, thats what you do, LARRY

your parents must have HATED you

[busafwine]

sad she passed,, you are great for taking her in!

[Siamese2005]

Aw. Isnt it a wonderful feeling when they finally trust you? I finally got one of the ferals outside to trust me this evening and i'm so happy! And that is wonderful that the kitty is so old! She's certainly a survivor! :D

[Caddl123]

Hello..

I thinksuch an old cat living outside knows everything about the hard wildlife in towns and in counties.That cat is an veteran andyou must looka after it.Its a litte wonder that "wild"cats are as old as her.Nayshe live some years in your home and having good times and calm times.She needed it after that long and hard life outside.I know some old cats hier around my house..but no ca is older than 10.

[littleshawty123]

there not use to being petted just like kittens they dont know whats going on

[TheGaleas]

you have a Kind warm heart. the world could do with more people like you.

[Anticyclonic]

There should be more people in the world like you.

And by the way, that is extremely impressive how far she's come. Usually adult ferals are very hard to socialize, let alone one that's 23 years old. I fostered orphan kittens a while ago and found them good homes myself. I'm thinking of getting back into it; there are just too many strays out there on those mean streets.

[muskndusk]

He thinks you're trying to steal his food. Try petting him BEFORE feeding him. Cats are more loving when hungry!

[TheSmilingCat]

Is sher living in your home? I have 5 feral

cats at home, my best friends!

[onekinkstar]

Actually, I just looked and there aren't any other videos of him . . .

[onekinkstar]

Ahhhh . . . Without me having to search all your videos, please tell me how this cat is doing now.

[BarbaraWilliamson]

She's doing great! I am sure she really really appreciates her life.

[mickeymaltese]

Bless you for taking in this dear old cat!

My daughter rescues feral cats, I've adopted two from her. It is a long process but so rewarding to see them begin to trust and enjoy human companionship. They get along well with the three I'd already had from the SPCA, and now the two ferals insist on more rubbing than the others!( making up for the lack of rubs when they lived in the wild!)

[argieduncan]

you have a big heart, you cat is very fortunate! I have 3 cats (all adopted) and then I feed around 3 cats in the neighborhood, and a few rackoons and opposums!

[chibudgielvr]

That was very kind of you to do. I've taken in 5 strays total... only 2 of which are alive today.
