Cat, The Best Pet Mammal?

Cats are one of the most common pets on the planet. Cats are amazing animals that domesticated themselves. Kept indoors, cats can make great companions. Kept outdoors, they are a four-legged ecological disaster. So cats are obviously great pets, but is the housecat the best pet mammal for you? Let's find out!

Cats are good enough that I can overlook that they're the kind of animal that follows you into the bathroom and makes sustained eye contact while you're in there.

[bentclaw]

"If what you want is a wild animal that keeps you as a pet..." yes. That is exactly what I want. Knowing my cat likes me enough to hang out with me is a great confidence booster.

Cat's and humans get along so well because their personalities overall are generally similar and both are hyper predatory invasive species.

This video makes me very happy. A) Because cats. B) Strong “keep cats indoors” message. As a cat owner and birder, I very much appreciate the coverage of the good and bad about cats.

Can we all just applaud Clint for managing to hold a cat in his lap the entirety of this video?

[newtscamander]

That was such a missed opportunity to say that they're scored based on the five CATegories!!

My cat followed me home 14 years ago, I’m now convinced it was premeditated 😹

Watching Clint absent mindedly go into snake handling mode and attempt to treadmill a cat is my favorite thing

[HaunaMyKiki]

Also Clint, minor little correction: most people aren't allergic to a cat's dander, but to a particular protein found in their saliva. Cats self-clean themselves which is great ..but it also means that they coat the protein onto their fur as they're doing so.

I got one for free, the guys at the junkyard were practically begging my dad to take her home. We took her to a spay and neuter agency and they fixed her up, gave her all her shots for under a hundred bucks. The other one was about 50 bucks in adoption fees. Both have huge personalities! Lea, the paid for one, has not left my side since my mom brought her home. Weasel, the freebie, has not left my mom's side. Lea is in fact the best pet I've ever had and Weasel is so very very orange

Cats rarely attack without warning, people just aren't willing to listen to their warnings

[thedumpyfrog]

Yes I’m a cat person.
And yes, I’ve been waiting for this my whole life. My life is now complete

Thank you for putting out there that a spayed/neutered cat from a shelter is a great option! And also for putting the numbers of how cats affect the environment, was very eye-opening!

[susanmartin]

"And I will let you pet me... until I don't" 😂😂 spoken like a true cat (and many other animals) specialist!

[exnedu]

Cats-much like reptiles- have their own body language to communicate. Once you understand them, their behavior makes a lot of sense. NGL a collab between Clint and Jackson Galaxy would be really amazing.

[taitcarrillo]

“No other mammal will score this high.”

So Clint’s a cat person I see.

[probably_notbob]

I appreciate how you mentioned that they are best left indoors both for themselves and the environment and how they are best adopted from a shelter.

I spit my drink out at "if you have a female cat that isn't spayed then every so often you're going to get some interaction from your cat that might make the relationship awkward from that time on."

[CryptP]

sometimes they'll get excited when you feed them and bite you by accident, they're incredibly smart and can notice immediately that it was too hard of a bite and they were biting you more than the food they were trying to take
So they'll immediately ease off and be more gentle about it from there
Like they understand where the limit is, they know that biting you hurts you, and they don't want to hurt you. Very sweet creatures

[Abbeynormal]

I've owned cats my entire life and I love them. Each one that I've had over the years has had a unique personality and completely blown out of the water any of the crap spewed by haters. "Cats never love you" Cats absolutely love you.
