Cats have a reputation for aloofness (and floofiness), but if you and your feline friend aren't bonding, the problem might just be that you're not speaking their language.
Lol I have been watching this show a lot lately (recommended from a friend when I first got my cat!) and I have been doing the slow blink with my cat lol. I love when I can get him to slow blink back at me. Jackson seriously has a lot of cool tips.
The owners on that show are usually mildly infuriating though lol. Most of them are like “I am playing rough with the cat why does he swipe at me” or “the cat is pooping outside the litterbox for some reason and I only clean the box weekly” or “my cat is peeing everywhere and trying to escape and I don’t know why oh btw he is not neutered” or “why is my cat scratching all of my furniture but cat scratching posts are ugly so I don’t want them in my home”.
Very occasionally the cats do seem to have a real problem tho that isn’t the fault of shitty owners. Like there was one episode I saw where a cat went blind (owner couldn’t tell!! Seems like when animals go blind it can be actually hard to sus out sometimes) and got PTSD from getting scared while blind.
It is appreciated though that even though these owners are ignorant or unrealistic that a majority are willing to actually take Jackson’s advice and teachings to heart and learn from it. I guess if they weren’t willing to learn then they wouldn’t have agreed to be on the show in the first place.
