My cat was adopted and returned to the same shelter 4 times in 6 months because he yells. Today he is mad about the snow.

Thank you for loving this baby that no one else would love 😭

His last adoptive owner was actually pretty great but had to give him up fairly early on as he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and couldn't handle the noise because it was triggering him. But he's a happy kitty ❤️

My heart feels for that as someone who has both had to give up a pet I couldn’t care for properly and adopted a pet no one else wanted. There’s so many factors and we’re all trying our best and looking for the right fit. It’s good to hear the last owner knew it wasn’t the right fit and I’m so glad to see this yelly babe get love!

[u/bunnysqueaks → u/selenitedelight]

That's exactly it - to be honest I'm very grateful that even the owners who made a mistake re: their noise tolerance at least returned him to the shelter they got him from instead of leaving him outdoors. You sound like a great pet owner :)

I love animals that "talk"

[u/textposts_only]

Oh my God we need more videos of him!

[u/SicTheWolf → u/textposts_only]

I agree! More songs from the boy!

[u/bunnysqueaks → u/textposts_only]

I promise I have so many more too 😭

[u/textposts_only → u/bunnysqueaks]

I look forward to them !

What a good yell

[u/MaximumAsparagus]

These yells remind me of these two classic yellers!!!

these two classic yellers!!!

Made my day I can't believe I hadn't see this before!

[u/RozhkiNozhki → u/MaximumAsparagus]

Thank you for this!

He has so many opinions!!! Love him

Aw poor baby!! I’m glad he ended up with someone who loves his talking though <3 My cat yells so much and she has been passed around a bit. My brother and SIL adopted her (and her quieter baby, but they kept him), then my sister did, now she stays with me. I honestly love talkative cats, they can be so entertaining

[u/bunnysqueaks → u/cynta]

I actually figured out very quickly that he is extremely food motivated so I treat-trained him to be much quieter - he only yells when he is very needy (i.e. needs me to change the weather) LOL :)

[u/cynta → u/bunnysqueaks]

...how did you do that. My cat is pretty food motivated and like I do love talkin with her but sometimes I need to sleep.

[u/bunnysqueaks → u/cynta]

Any time I'd rustle the treat jar I'd make sure to hold a treat that was visible and would only give him one when he'd been silent for at least 3 seconds (which was...a big ask...). Slowly over time he's learned to sit still and be quiet otherwise he won't get attention or food - but I honestly really don't mind having a cat that 'talks back' so he knows he can scream if I'm responding haha :)

So cute!

[u/grilledmackerel]

Oh my god. Thank you for adopting him. ❤️

[u/folder_finder]

That’s insane to me- cats that yell are a BONUS in my house!

[u/bunnysqueaks → u/folder_finder]

It was so weird too because after the first "return" the shelter made sure to explain how loud he was - yet people thought it would be "cute" so they ignored the warning...

[u/my_familiar]

He’s practically singing ❤️

[u/supasteve013]

oh my god he's so cute

[u/TRUEequalsFALSE]

He's not the only one mad about the snow.

[u/EreeB2017]

I wish I can have a cat to talk to. This makes me so happy to hear you having a conversation with him.

[u/somekid150]

I think I found your cat's first cousin removed... lol

Is he deaf or hard of hearing? I ask because a lot of white cats are born that way. That’s why they are so loud.

Either way, your kitty found a place he could fit in and call home. Well enough that he makes demands and wants them followed out!
