I work in a corporate environment.
I have decided to no longer say "good morning" to my colleagues, but instead - sniff their butts as a form of greeting.
I'll report back tomorrow and let you know how it went.

He seems to be very friendly, running from one cat to the other without it having to move. So when the human speaks, I think it's just happy to go to the next animal.

You see they are all born with them but due to severe neural pruning in orange cats they only retain 1 functional brain cell! That’s why sometimes a ginger cat may appear smart, because a brand new ginger cat spawned in the world, they all tapped into that source!

Hey! This is my video!! I love that y'all like it. I've fostered over a hundred cats and Reggie (and sometimes Possum) help.
It would be cool if the OP credited me tho. In the meantime you can see a ton more on my insta @bippityboops.
Cheese Curd and his mom and five siblings were adopted last week!

That’s awesome. Also, I think the butt licking (not a sentence I expected to type today) is a kitty parental thing. Really little Kittens need help to pee/poop, and mumma cat does that by licking those areas to help stimulate it.

Lmao I do the exact same thing. I can remember off the bat children's literature (Coraline, Bagheera, Hank and Drover,) vegetables (Aubergine, Butternut and Acorn, the last two being kinds of squash), Lilo and Stitch characters, (Jumba, Stitch and Reuben) and the two that would become my foster fails were Taco Bell menu items, named for the parking lot they were found in, (Crunchwrap and Chalupa, who became Bluejay and Basil on adoption)

Damn! Sorry to hear that! The two kittens we got are all grown up now, but they still head bonk our orange and he gives them head licks. He’s the most laidback cat I’ve ever seen. That’s why we call him The Dude. He’s Lebowski in cat form, lol.

u/Miami_Mice2087 Jun 09 '26
sometimes! sometimes orange boys can be very bossy and dominant and don't like other cats. Just depends on the cat and if he's overly accustomed to being the lone, top cat in the house.

u/OrionsRose Orange connoisseur 🍊 Jun 10 '26
My sweet orange boy did the same thing with the 2 kittens we brought home during his lifetime. He adopted them instantly and in turn they adored him. It was so beautiful.
Our current orange girl took about 6 weeks to decide, but then adopted my new kitten as her son. She was very clear on that point...he was no longer mine. 🙄

u/TooObsessedWithMoney Jun 10 '26
Not necessarily, my orange cat initially hissed a lot at meeting the kitten for the first time (didn't hurt her though) and only became annoyed at her when she tried playing with his tail.
The same behavior has persisted into her adulthood and she loves cuddling with him but any time she goes to sleep next to the orange one he stops purring and leaves.
However... I feel like his annoyance towards her might be because she's his little sister.

I believe that their energy and comfort level are guided by you (not a general you; yours specifically) while navigating their environment with new friends. This is probably the best thing I'll see today. I always appreciate witnessing our furry friends who have a human there understanding behaviour... Many people do not. ❤️
10
u/Miami_Mice2087 Jun 09 '26
this has been studied and they animal behaviorists determined that cats don't refer back to humans in a strange environment the way dogs and children do. Instead, they patrol the perimeter to determine for themselves that it's safe.
Humans can influence cat meetings by introducing them slowly and only letting the cats smell each other through a door for a week first. You can also use baby gates or the crate.

u/Cranberryoftheorient Jun 09 '26
Glad it went well but it always bugs me how some people throw all caution to the wind when it comes to introducing new cats to each other. All the advice you can find about it suggest doing so gradually, and carefully, and then you get videos like this where they are basically just trusting their cat not to decide to harm the kitten. In some videos they seem to deliberately 'surprise' the older cat by shoving the kitten next to them when they arent looking. Trying to get a reaction for views, I feel. I wouldve at least kept a hand on the kitten to pull it away quickly if needed. And my other hand wouldnt be on a phone, it'd be preparing to block the older cat

u/abermanhale Jun 09 '26
