A day in the life of our cats

A day in the life of our cats
which is technically not a single day because turns out it's difficult to film cats
and also I wanted to add Haku cam
which couldn't be filmed at the same time as normal Haku
or you would see Haku with a gopro hanging from his harness
but the base of the video is one day
we just refilmed some parts where the footage sucked
so when our curtains are opened five billion different ways throughout this video
that is why

Q&A

Why do we put water in their bowls:
To force them to drink more since cats (especially cats that eat dry food) tend to be dehydrated a lot and it can cause health issues like urine crystals and kidney stones. Haku has urine crystals once the first year we had him.

Why don’t we just feed them wet food?
When we initially got our cats we had a hard time finding food that Haku and Nagi would eat that didn’t also give them diarrhea. Poor Poki also is susceptible to bloody diarrhea and will leave blood spots all over the apartment if we’re not careful with what he eats. Our vet recommended this specific one (Prescription Diet... I believe Digestive Care) and now they all have A+ beautiful poops. We also often boil and finely chop chicken, and sprinkle that on their food. We’re open to possibly trying other types of food for them sometime, but we just want to be careful because their stomachs get upset easily and if Haku doesn’t like it he just won’t eat.

But dry food is supposed to clean their teeth and now that you put water in it their teeth aren’t going to get clean:
Dry food doesn’t really clean cat teeth very well, but we do have cat tooth brushes (silicon finger brushes) and cat toothpaste and we actually brush their teeth (although not every day).

Why don’t you try water fountains for your cats:
We’ve had them but he cats kept breaking them, and after a while no matter how much we cleaned them they’d start getting slimy and the cats wouldn’t drink from them anymore. I’m definitely willing to try again sometime if I figure out something different I can try to stop it from getting slimy! Also I always forgot to turn it off while filming and we’d have a hundred comments saying “THE WATER NOISE THO D:”

Why don’t you guys sleep together:
Wat. We do!! Bed sets are really common here in Japan, where you buy either one big bed frame or two that lock together, and then each partner gets their own mattress so they can have exactly the level of comfort they want. We have two semi-double mattresses because sleep is hella important and I want my damn room to stretch! I have foam pads on my side because Japanese mattresses are as soft as wooden planks, so my side ended up higher than Jun’s.

JUN’S HAIR:
yeh 💕 :D

Nagi and Haku: Minding their own buisness

Poki: *ARISE MOTHER AND DISTRUBUTE NUTRIENTS TO SHARE BETWEEN MY BROTHERS AND I*

How Poki sleeps with Rachel melts my heart. He never forgot that you saved him.

[LeviShmevi]

I'm so glad they make accomodations for Poki instead of just being upset with him. A lot of what he does can be frustrating but they know he's just a smart, former street cat and care for him with patience and understanding. And while he still has that "I need food or I won't have it" of his old situation, he really does love them and it shows.

I'm not saying Rachel and June are perfect, no one's a perfect cat parent. But you can tell that they try their best to keep their cats happy and safe and I really admire that about them.

Rachel: Is it food time?
Poki (desperate meow): I’ve been saying that for the last two hours...

[ChaosMyth]

Most cats: *doesn’t like vacuum*

Haku: *turns it on specifically to play with it*

[m.bukhori]

nagi: acts cute
Haku: bullies everyone
Poki: *M E O W*

[Lil_Ms_Crystal_Rose]

Is nobody gonna talk about how Jun said Poki was making him jealous when Rachel was cuddling him was the sweetest thing ever? The love you two have is amazing. And I never knew I needed to hear Jun call their kitties "baby" until I heard it. I call my two cats baby all the time xD

[aillamas]

I like how nagi is sleeping in a bed that says “haku poki”

[sydneymaddox]

Haku and nagi: Turning on roombas, doing tricks, waiting at the toy drawer

Poki, an intellectual: Kills fake bird, and screams for two hours

[jcbanner]

I love how Poki cuddles with Rachel when he sleeps. Because she was the one who ran after him and saved him.

[kaitsarnaoval]

Nagi and Haku: "good morning hooman"
Jun: "good morn-"
Poki: *Where's my food?!*

[ShakepearesDaughter]

I had a half-Siamese when I was a teen that chose me as "his" in the household. He slept in my arms with his head on my pillow every night, just like Poki does with Rachel. What a pleasure it was seeing this. That cat was my dearest friend at a difficult phase in my life, and it was a very special bond. We had nine cats, all former strays or kittens of strays we took in, and they were all in love with my dad! But this stray Tonkinese I found sick in our bushes, and who I helped get back to health (although of course my beleaguered parents paid the bills), chose me as his person. I was honored! My dear Hershey Bar kitty.

Two purpose of the roomba:
1. To clean the entire house
2. To keep your cats busy

[HeroXAS]

Most people: Uses an alarm clock

Rachel and Jun: *POKI*

[MollyMoxer]

Lord if I come back somehow, let me come back as one of Rachel and Jun's cats

[xDoubleRaineBow]

I would definitely love to see a redo of this video with Pichi included

[seeyougotthatextrawhippedcream]

Poki screaming for 22 minutes Me: *Now that's what i call a quality content*

[littleblackpistol]

Oh god, Poki sleeping with Rachel like that is the sweetest thing ever. He clearly feels safe and secure that way. What a funny little guy. He really fell on his feet when you two rescued him from the highway.

[janethagaman]

I remember when you first got Poki and how quiet he was for quite a while. And now look at him the most vocal family member.
