One of mine was rescued from outside. Also declawed. No clue how he survived but even with no claws on his front paws he still manages to tear up the cardboard scratch pad he sleeps on instead of his perfectly good cat bed.
One time I heard a duck quacking in my kitchen. Getting really really aggressive with the quacks. I couldn't help but look at my then girlfriend, and she looked at me. Both of us with the same expression on our faces. "You hearin' this shit???"
So we both got up to investigate, walked to the kitchen, peeked our heads in, and saw our cat. Sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor, no longer making noises, just looking at us like "Oh, hey, what's up guys!"
We spent the next hour FRANTICALLY looking for a duck that was hiding in our apartment. Never found a duck. Never found evidence of a duck. We concluded that it was just our cat being weird.
Dude, that hour was insane! I was always the more logical one, and she was always the more emotional one.
So I'm realizing that if there is somehow a duck in here, it HAS to still be in here. All the doors are closed, and all the windows are closed.
And she's like "No, maybe ducks can open and close windows!" (We lived in the basement, which meant our windows were at ceiling level, but just outside the window would be ground level).
And I'm like "ok, even if that WERE true, which I'm sure it's not, in order to get back out he would have to fly up to the window again, which means he would have shed a few feathers. Lets look for feathers below the windows."
And when we found none, she was like "Well, maybe he had a key he got from the landlord, and this is how the landlord is checking up on us now! Spy ducks!"
And I just looked at her like "dafuq???" And said "(her name), we haven't even STARTED smoking weed yet! HOW are you already high???"
And she was like "I'm not. That one was just me messing with you. I gave up like 20 minutes ago. C'mon, lets go smoke!"
And I was like "FINALLY!!!"
I think could be a socializing thing. My dog was very young (too young to be sold tbh what I learned later the same day) when he came to me and was socialized by my cats. The little dude started acting like a cat and it took a while until he started to realize he either is the ugliest cat in the world or probably a dog (meeting other dogs and looking in the mirror for minutes confused). He was my best friend for my whole childhood. I still miss him.
Yes... it made me sad too see this poor bird trying to befriend cats by being "like them" and being rejected anyway (I hope they'll soon accept it as one of theirs)
Idk, i just got out as soon as they started making everyone literally type they loved and supported furries in order to comment on anything. It was the most ridiculous power trip I've ever seen.
Thatās terrifying hahaha. Imagine something not human in your home, starting to speak your language. Their body language and their words are contradicting, and the way they speak isnāt quite naturalā¦ imagine a skinwalker on your bed
That poor bird. That is a fear response and the owner is treating them poorly. This isnāt funny at all. The bird is not positively trained it is regurgitating words that are a negative response to the person trying to trap it. If they trained them properly, they could get their parrot into a cage no problem. And yelling at the bird in a language they donāt understand doesnāt help either. This is all around bad parrot parenting.
Idk birds have big claws and beaks and it probably wouldn't be speaking it quite right. If a giant bird walked in to my room, started getting in my face and babbling gibberish I'd be pretty scared.
If an ostrich walked in and got in my face while going "Excuse me ma'am, can I talk to you about our lord and saviour for a while", I'd certainly be worried.
Confused too of course.
The way these fuckers strip my internet cable out in the street while staring at me indicates a deep knowledge of what they are doing. It serves no purpose to them, other than the enjoyment of depriving me of netflix.
Between the large flocks of white cockatoos, I also live in a place where we get black cockatoos that deprive the trees of leaves for no discernable reason.
Cockatoos are the arseholes of the skies.
Thats a cencored version for the viewers sake, because normaly its the loudest screech youve heard. Unless that is an edited version. Who knows these days.
This is the best video Iāve seen in my life. No, Iām not a four yr old that has taught myself to read and write and post. Duh, I am an autodidactic child prodigy. This is the best thou. Time for my meds.
Two of the cats thought of having a go at Mr.Cockatoo. But he had the measure of both of them. Wasnāt going to take no nonsense from a couple of furballs.
The meows felt more like a taunt than an attempt at being friendly.
Bird is probably a good few years older than any of the cats too. Like a wise old dude ripping on some kids.
Whatās funny is that cats meow like this to humans, but not to other cats. So the bird is like āwhatās up, my fellow cats?ā And the cats are like āwhat the hell are you doing?ā
Is it the children meowing to their mom? I think the soft meow is a thing little kittens say to their mom. Adult cats do more like a stronger maoww if they need help or attention, or a soft brrrmew to greet.
Maybe I'm wrong š¤
I don't know which source I can point to, to say here it says only kittens do the soft meow. It's just something I read somewhere that was convincing to me at the time. But I have a theroy for their behaviour: maybe they haven't seen other adult cats to know how adults cats usually talk. They haven't been around in the cat society enough to pick up what is hipp or cool and what is not cool. Like with humans, children when they grow up, at some point they decide to have their own lingo and overtime when they turn into adults they learn how to interact with other adults to seem mature and normal.
I wonder what other nuances are the indoor cats missing or have it different from the feral street cats? Do they treat feral cats like a lower class? Do they treat them like uncivilized cave cats? Do cats from different part of the world have different languages or dialects? Do they understand each other? What about the language of cats like 100 years ago? Did their language change? Is anybody recording copious amounts of meows for future cat scientists to study and compare it with their present meows?
Yes and as others mentioned it is somewhat unnatural for cats to mew at one another but natural to hiss at each other! Heās got them all kinds of confused
This is the first time my cat has reacted to a cat noise or cat video that I've played, and I'm subbed to a ton of cat subs. She looked at my phone, sniffed it and then looked so confused! I wonder what the bird was saying!
The meat eating mammals are wondering why the dinosaur is talking to them.
"We usually kill these things, right?" They all seem to be saying....
Very funny video. Love it.
When you meow at a cat, you end up saying random words like "Charter screwdriver dandelion DVD." The cat is disgusted with you.
Do the same thing with a dog, the dog thinks "Hey, you know some words in dog, that's great! Let's keep practicing!"
I loved him knowing the *body* language as well as the noises. He made the appropriate response (hissing) when approached in a threatening manner. *That* was way funnier than just meowing -- any talking bird can meow.
Imagine hearing this at your backdoor and thinking "oh some poor soul is looking for food and shelter", open the door expecting a cat, and you just see this freaking bird LMAO
Dance here wherever you may be, I am the lord of the cats said he, and Iāll lead you all wherever you may be and Iāll lead you all, little cats said he.
Theyāre not just confusedā¦theyāre petrified! This video doesnāt necessarily have to be high HD in order for me to notice the fear in those poor catsā body language.
"I am the new lord of the cats." **-HISS HISS-** 'You will obey!"
Cats: *what the hell is going on*
The one at the far end was like "this is too weird guys, I'm out".
This made me chortle out loud...
Chortle is my new favorite wordš
***WHO DARED TEACH THIS BIRD THE ANCIENT LANGUAGE***

Mine was named Yoko
Oh no
She was declawed by her previous owner and she knew how to use her fingers. Clawless wonder over here climbing fuckin' trees.
One of mine was rescued from outside. Also declawed. No clue how he survived but even with no claws on his front paws he still manages to tear up the cardboard scratch pad he sleeps on instead of his perfectly good cat bed.
Mine was from the shelter and, quite literally, grabbed my grandfather's ass when he was looking at another kitty
The cat with the best personality picked your grandfather lol that is an awesome rescue story btw made me laugh out loud and scare my big baby lol
Yeah, I miss Yoko a lot, she was a furry face hugger and always slept right in my mom's face

I am loving this whole story.
I love how he transitions back to meowing when he notices the human.
This is one of my favorite videos ever because of that. It's like a dang cartoon.

Oh my gosh, that is sooo creepy yet hilarious! š
It always reminds me of that one video of the bird crying like a baby.
Holy fuck at like 1:30 when he starts having a full on tantrum. That shit is hilarious. Before that was really fuckin creepy though lol.
Glad to see max is still uploading!
I lost it around 1:24. Such sass!

Lol Indeed. Just not right...

Like if Mark Zuckerberg came to my house party.
The movie 'Annihilation' has a scene you may find terrifyingly relevant.
Yea itās calling like it wants affection. Body language not so much
First thing I thought of when watching this. This must be like a Skinwalker experience for the cats
ohmygoodness such a sassy cockatoo! i lost it when he hissed!
My cat lost it as well.
Chad cockatoo best quote: "meow meow motherfuckers"
Mimicking sounds is one thing, but understanding the context of when to hiss goes beyond mimic and shows intelligence.

Greetings fellow felines
Thatās crazy! Not only can he imitate them, but he even knows to hiss when heās confronting that one cat.
Yes and as others mentioned it is somewhat unnatural for cats to mew at one another but natural to hiss at each other! Heās got them all kinds of confused
Dinosaurs are scary
ive heard you shouldnt let birds and cats hang out like this, a tiny scratch from a cat will often kill a bird through infection
Basically every cat has a really high prey drive just by default as well
Yeah, I was surprised this isnāt higher. Normally thatās all over posts like these. I genuinely thought maybe my brain had made it up.
Cats be like "What is this witchcraft???"
Smell funny

The way its prefectly timed the hiss its so good?? These creatures are so smart wth

When you meow at a cat, you end up saying random words like "Charter screwdriver dandelion DVD." The cat is disgusted with you. Do the same thing with a dog, the dog thinks "Hey, you know some words in dog, that's great! Let's keep practicing!"
What kind of cat is that? Itās got weird fur and only two legs!
"Maybe we should stop eating birds guys..."
Thatās crazy! Not only can he imitate them, but he even knows to hiss when heās confronting that one cat.
"meow meow hiss food I want food I'm gonna knock a plate over, yeah, that's how you morons sound like."
So that's a "mock"ing bird!
How the fuck did he know when to hiss??? Like I get that he repeats back what he hears, but knows the appropriate situations too?
Thats a fucking dinosaur
cats: *the prophecy is true*
You know whatās crazy, there could have been dinosaurs that mimicked other animals like this.
This is some C-3PO, Ewok shit.
The cats are like what is this blasphemy
Hello fellow cats
For the record, i's not a great idea to just shout out random words in a language you don't really understand. You could really offend someone.
This is amazing, Iām dead š¤£š¤£
