Rescue Cats Love You Differently 11 Signs Only Adopters Notice

🐾 Want a longer, healthier life for your cat — and to support the channel while you're at it? My complete owner's manual is here: https://stevecooperpets.com/ For nine days, a one-eared gray tom named Pepper lived behind my clothes dryer. What he did on day ten is the clearest sign of rescue cat love I've ever seen. If you've adopted a cat from a shelter, a street or a barn, you've probably asked yourself: does she really love me, or did she just get used to me? Rescue cats love differently. Not less. Differently. In this video I count down 11 signs that adopters notice, from the hiding stage to the moment you stop being a stranger. We cover the 3-3-3 rule for adopted cats and why it isn't a law of nature, the cat who watches you from the doorway, the approach that stops three feet short, and the slow blink. You'll learn why some former strays eat like the food might vanish, why a quiet cat suddenly starts meowing at you, and what head bunting, kneading, suckling, sleeping belly-up and grooming you really mean. I also cover what a purr can and can't tell you. Along the way there's plain advice on giving a new cat one room and a safe hiding spot, and on when to stop waiting and call your vet, for example when a cat hasn't eaten in 24 hours. I'm not a vet. I'm just a man who's had strays and fosters underfoot his whole life and spent a lot of hours watching them.
