The Michaelangalo thing is something I already learnt from my first cat. I always start like that with her everyday, she loves me being respectful with her and it definitely works with 90% of the cats I have had the pleasure of meeting while volunteering.

I've trained my cat so that when I go "are you a pretty boy" he rolls over and displays his chin so he can have it tickled

Can I tell you how many times I hear: "my cat NEVER lets anyone touch them!" I just sit there calmly and let the cat come to me. Makes me wonder how many people just come straight at them. I work with rescues and I always send new cat owners to your channel for re-education!

Loved hosting you, Jackson! We need more cat advocates like you ❤️.

"I put out a finger, he decides how he wants to be pet, and now we're friends."

Does this method work on humans?

[gyllkrans]

Huh, I always do the Michelangelo, never thought of calling it that though.

I love catcafes. Cats come to you and chill around and I love it.

Omg, you just made my cat's day! I never would've rubbed her ear like that. She loves it! ❣️

I love my cat. Everytime I come home from work she comes up to my leg wanting picked up. She meows puts her front paws on my leg stands on her back ones. And I pick her up every day and she cuddles. She loves me to carry her around the house and outside etc.. she follows me everywhere too! Always lays by me at night on the bed. Shes my diabetic alert cat too. Has saved my life many times from low blood sugar levels. She is my mini me for sure. Love my orange and white tabby cat! And oh boy she loves being petted. Think mine might be part human and dog. Hmmm. Ha ha ha ha . 😊🤣🤣

Jackson, on the ear tip thing you are spot-on. Just like when we press the webbing in between our thumb and forefinger on cats when you press on their ear tips like that it's been scientifically shown to release endorphins in the brain. One of my favorite things to do to my kitties! I have found it works especially well when they are in stressful situations, like at the vet, to help calm them down.

Instead of Butthole I now refer to the Kitties rear end as "The Pencil Sharpner" LOL

[heathermclaughlin]

Brilliant! When you've had cats for years you learn but for ppl starting out in cat society this is priceless xx

[manupetermann]

Aaawww the little black panther is such a sweetheart ❤🐈

My cat's favorite spots are under her chin and the top of her head. If I pet her there she just melts.

I volunteer at this very cat cafe and I was so excited to see Doc, he’s the only cat in the video who is still there and not yet adopted. He has made a lot of progress towards being able to trust humans, but he still seems to be easily overwhelmed. I know he has a sweet loving goofy personality inside him, but it’s not really showcased when he’s so preoccupied with hissing at any hand that comes near him and running away to take refuge in his box. I firmly believe that he would be happier and more likely to let his relaxed positive aspects of his personality shine if he were in a home with just a few people, no small kids, no dogs and maybe just one or a few other cats, to match his energy. If anyone out there lives in LA and might be interested or knows someone who might be, please come by the cat cafe to meet Doc and talk with staff about adoption. Thanks Jackson, amazing video as always! :)

asking permission doesn't just apply to the first meeting, either! i volunteer at a cat shelter, and i'll still greet cats i've known and spent lots of time with for several months. heck, i greet my own cat pretty often! she doesn't even need it, she's a chill little ragdoll who will put up with anything. it just feels right. it's always good to get permission from the kitty you want to pet. :)

[katherinest-jean]

I just know you 24 hours ! Because a friend told me about your youtube video and i LOVE you ! You are so talented talking about cat ! It helped me already deal with a scared new cat thankyou youre amazing ❤❤❤

[jellyaj]

It's, "you need (or knead) their "PurrMission"".


With my kitty, it's on his spine near the tail (butt). Then, it's the chin, under neck, ears and back of the neck.

[twistedHLX]

That's right folks. Always ask permission first. It's part of the lesser known, "Me(ow), Too" movement.
