Today, I've put together my most helpful
videos. We'll give you everything you
need to know before you get your cat. I
will cover a wide variety of topics,
including what to feed your cat,
declawing cats, neutering cats, and so
much more, and stuff that could even
save your cat's life. Let's get right
into it.
After thousands of pet owners came
forward saying this food caused their
cat to get cancer. I began an
investigation on my own and what I found
was truly horrific. See, it all started
when I was posting a video of my cat on
YouTube and a viewer noticed a cat food
I had behind my cat. They immediately
dropped the comment saying that the cat
food I was using had already claimed
three of their cats lives. Worried, I
went on the internet and my worst fears
had finally come to reality. I had been
feeding the cat I loved so much a food
that had cancer-causing ingredients in
it. In fact, this ingredient is banned
in human foods. However, to this day,
cheap cat food companies are still using
this ingredient to save a quick buck and
not caring about the welfare of your
animal. In this video, I'll expose the
companies and what you can do. All
right, guys. First of all, you know, if
you just scroll through like your normal
kibble brand, you can look and you see
all these ingredients. And it's truly
shocking how much they put into your cat
food without you knowing. Like there's
over 100 ingredients in those small
pieces of kibble. The main company
receiving the most alligation for using
ethoxyquing and sodium nitrate, both
linked to cancer and other fatal
sicknesses. This brand is probably the
most popular of all. As you can see on
the screen, a lawsuit was filed against
Nestle, the company behind Pyina and the
wet food company Friskies. After
scrolling from article to article, I
couldn't believe it. I'd been feeding
this to my cats for years now. Although
Purina denies the allegations and the
store people is safe to use, many
questions are still unanswered and many
lawsuits continue to this day. After
reading all the allegations, I
immediately switched cat food. However,
Pyina is not the only cat food brand
under fire. Popular brands like Blue
Buffalo and Rachel Ray are also under
fire for using these cancer-caused
ingredients. My advice to you when
buying cat food is this. The more
expensive it is, the higher quality it
will be. And higher quality means less
filler ingredients because those cheap
filler ingredients are the ones that
cause cancer in cats. Now, of course,
everyone can't afford cat food that
costs more than human food. So, if
you're like me, I went online, did some
more research, and found a few safe
brands. It's not that these brands have
no risk. Every cat food has a small
risk. The one I would recommend is the
affordable company.
The packages look like this. And this is
the cat food I use. However, I want to
emphasize there is a risk in every cat
food and your goal should be picking the
one that has the least amount of risk.
So, in the end, all these companies deny
the allegations.
Did you know when you declaw your cat,
it's like cutting off the tops of their
fingers? Look, nobody wants a couch like
this, but it's not worth making your cat
go through years of pain just so your
couch can look a little nicer.
All right, guys. In today's video, I'll
be showing you the side effects of
declawing your cat. Because if you are
considering declawing your cat, make
sure to watch to the end because some of
this stuff is pretty heartbreaking. And
I'll show you a way to keep your
furniture and your cat with claws in the
same house. So, without further ado,
let's see the side effects of declawing
your cat. So, besides from the initial
pain, some long-term effects may include
arthritis, nerve damage, and believe it
or not, sometimes even back pain. That's
because when they form arthritis, they
begin to walk differently. And that's
not anywhere near all the side effects
from declawing. So, if this isn't enough
to stop you from declawing your cat,
after this video, I advise you to go
look at some painful testimonies from
pet owners who regret declawing their
cats. But, I get it. If you have a
really nice house, you want to look for
some ways to keep it nice. So, why not
just declaw your cat? It's quick and
simple, right? Wrong. You should have
thought about that before you got a cat.
And if you already have a cat and this
trouble is beginning, here's a few ways
you can stop your cat from causing
damage with their claws. First off, make
sure you have an accessible scratching
post nearby at all times. However, I
don't have a sponsor one for this video,
but if you want to give me a sponsor,
just shoot me an email cuz, you know,
I'm always looking for sponsors and
stuff. But anyways, there's also safe
repellents to keep your cat off your
furniture without harming them or taking
away their claws. If you're still
considering declawing your cat after
watching this, I advise you to think
again.
Today, I will be revealing seven deadly
foods not to feed your cat. Some of the
foods on this list are pretty obvious,
while others I wouldn't have suspected
in a million years. Watching this video
could very well save your cat. So, make
sure you watch till the end where I
reveal one final food that no one would
ever guess. Okay, guys. Food number one
is actually quite shocking. I'd never
heard of it until a few days ago. The
first food is grapes and raisins. From
what I saw, these fruits can cause
kidney failure in cats. And although the
exact toxic substance isn't known, it's
still safe to stay away from this food.
Let's move to the second food. Okay
guys, the second food is actually human
grade tuna. And the reason behind this
is actually quite simple. Although they
can have some tuna, if they have too
much, they will begin to lack vitamin E,
which can cause fatal illnesses. So,
make sure to balance your cat's diet.
Okay, guys. Food number three is
actually not really a food, but it's
caffeine. Basically, caffeine is in
coffee, tea, energy drinks. It'll
probably say if there's caffeine in it.
Although it might not kill your cat, it
can lead to serious issues like heart
palpitations, restlessness, and a rapid
heartbeat, which is not very pleasant
for your cat. So, yeah. Basically, the
message is don't feed your cat stuff
with caffeine in it. Okay, guys. The
next food is actually pretty obvious as
well. It's raw meat. It doesn't take a
genius to figure out. It's because it
can carry lots of bacteria, which when
your cats eat gets into their body and
can cause them to become very sick. So,
make sure to not feed your cats raw
food. All right, guys. We have two foods
left. The next one is actually
chocolate. I'm sure almost all of you
already knew that. One of the reasons
why is actually because of the caffeine
in the chocolate, which we went over
earlier. I'm not going to break it down
for you. It's pretty simple. Just don't
give your cat chocolate. Like I'm pretty
sure that's one of the most basic things
every pet owner knows. And finally, here
is the last thing your cat cannot
consume, which is alcohol, which can
cause severe liver, brain damage, coma,
and death. So don't give your cat a sip
when you're drinking beer, which I know
a few people have probably done,
considering they were probably pretty
drunk.
You need to know these things before you
neuter your cat. Today, I'll be showing
you some never seen before side effects
that might make you reconsider neutering
your cat. And I'll also be addressing
the pros of neutering your cat. So,
let's get right into the video.
All right, so there's a lot to consider
before you neuter your cat. And in just
a moment, I'll be covering the key
aspects you need to know because trust
me, there is a lot of side effects. And
obviously, some of them are pretty
beneficial for you and maybe your cat.
But some of these side effects that are
not so good will live with your cat for
the rest of their life. So, let's get
right into the very first side effect.
And I found this one really interesting.
Neutering your cat can lead to a
decreased metabolic rate and increased
appetite, which just might be the reason
of why your cat always seems hungry. Of
course, we want to prevent our cats from
becoming obese. But at the same time,
that's not enough of a reason to not
neuter your cat. So, let's move on to
some more serious side effects. The next
major side effect we'll be going over is
urinary tract issues. Now, this side
effect doesn't have a high probability,
but it's still important to keep in
mind. Now, at this point, you might say,
"Well, this is a little inconvenient,
but it's still not enough of a reason to
not neuter my cat." But these next few
reasons might just save your cat from
that awful vet visit. Now, you probably
already knew about this side effect
because it's pretty obvious. When
putting your cat through a surgery,
there is always a chance of
complications.
However, the risk doesn't just last
during the surgery. Your cats will feel
very sick days after. Your cats might
become less affectionate and more wary
of humans. And it's pretty logical
because the humans are the ones that did
that to your cat. These are definitely
not all the side effects. So, I
encourage you to go watch a video of a
cat getting neutered if you're still
planning on getting your cat neutered.
Now, I want to go over the pros and some
reasons of why you might want to neuter
your cat and why it's still a good idea.
So, obviously, the number one reason is
the cat spraying all over the house.
Especially if you have a nice house, you
really don't want that getting ruined.
And if you've had an unneutered cat, you
know exactly what I'm talking about.
Your cat also might become a little less
restless because they won't be spending
the whole day looking for a mate. I
completely understand both sides of the
argument, and I'm not encouraging you
one way or the other. I'm just saying
you need to weigh your options before
you make such an important decision for
your cat's life.
There's nothing worse than losing a pet
before their time. And although you
think you might be doing everything you
can, there's actually a few things that
every pet owner does that decreases
their cat's lifespan.
And today, after doing hours of
research, I found the main reason your
cat's lifespan is getting shortened by
the day and three ways you can reverse
that path and increase their lifespan by
50% or more. There are three main things
every cat owner does, and the last one
is so common, I'd say 95% do it. This is
probably the most shocking out of all
the facts I'll show you today. And the
first thing that decreases your cat's
lifespan is actually not playing with
them. And here's why. When you play with
your cat, they are very active and they
stay healthy. If you begin to neglect
playtime with your cat, they can soon
become unhealthy and fat, leading to
complicated health problems, and
ultimately a shorter lifespan. So,
basically, the answer for this problem
is just to make sure to play with them
more, make sure they're active, and make
sure they're living the best life you
can possibly give them. Which brings us
to the very complicated number two. Make
sure you stay for number three, though,
because it is so shocking, I couldn't
even believe it. All right, the next
cause of an early death in cats is
actually letting them be outside. Before
you say this is ridiculous, I'm not
implying that they can't go outside. I'm
saying it needs to be done correctly.
The statistic I'm about to show you is
so mindblowing that you may never let
your cat out again because the average
lifespan of an outdoor cat is 2 to 5
years. And just to put this in
perspective, the normal lifespan of an
indoor cat is 12 to 17 years. Meaning
keeping your cat inside could literally
improve their lifespan by 100%. But this
issue is complicated and I want to
discuss it a bit more. Of course, we
want our cats to be happy, and they're
naturally meant to be outside. So,
should we really keep them from being
where they're meant to be? I think the
answer is no. It just needs to be done
with caution and boundaries. Be
responsible when you let your cat out.
Make sure they can always come back in.
Make sure they're treated against all
diseases. And ultimately, the decision
is up to you. Now, let's move on to the
biggest killer in cats, which is
actually the food we are giving them.
Believe it or not, many kibble brands
like Purina, Blue Buffalo, and other
highprofile brands have cancer-causing
ingredients in their cat food and are
slowly killing cats without us
realizing. So, what can we do about it?
Well, this issue is very complicated
because after I posted a recent video
about this topic, I received severe
backlash. Not just exposing that Pyina
was a bad company, but that all kibble
was bad for your cats. Now, of course,
we all kind of knew this in the back of
our heads, but after seeing people's
stories in the comments, it was truly
heartbreaking. It changed my thought on
cat food altogether. And I've kind of
come to a conclusion that we really
shouldn't be feeding our cats kibble at
all. In fact, if we want healthy,
playful cats, we should try to align
their diets with what they would
normally be eating instead of dusty
processed kibble. And here's the advice
I have for you. Go do a lot of research
on the internet for yourself.
This pet food company has a dark secret
they don't want you to know that caused
cats and dogs to die. After receiving
this comment on a recent video, I did an
investigation of my own, and what I
found is just pure evil. This well-known
pet food brand is accused of torturing
their animals inside the facilities.
Join me on the investigation of a
lifetime to find out what's going on.
It's the early 2000s and Proctor and
Gamble is developing a new cat food
company called IMS. And immediately they
begin testing facilities and bring in
their subjects. At the start it seemed
like a normal pet food company. But
undercover workers soon learned the
horrifying reality these pets were
living in. See soon after Proctor and
Gamble opened their first facility. The
organization People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals, also known as
PETA, sent in undercover employees to
the facility. And that's when the
horrifying truth began to reveal itself.
PETA found severe animal abuse at the
facility owned by Proctor and Gamble.
They found dogs and cats being kept in
inhumane cages and many of those animals
developed psychological problems later.
However, one of the worst reports shows
that dogs had their vocal cords cut out
because they were being too loud, which
I found truly horrific because they were
just begging out for help. And the list
of abuse went on and on and on and by
2006 the walls were caving in.
eventually led to Proctor and Gamble
selling IMS to a whole different company
to avoid the bad reputation. But the
story doesn't end there because all the
tragic events were still unfolding and
soon people would find out these
horrific events had claimed the lives of
countless animals. After the
full-fledged investigation began and
they found out about the horrific
conditions that 27 dogs died in and the
terrible instances where dogs were put
on cold concrete after life-changing
surgeries after Mars Inc. bought from
Proctor and Gamble, the fears from its
customers are still not quenched. And
although they claim they do not do the
terrible experiments they used to do,
more claims have arised that their food
causes cancer in animals. And in a
previous video, I had kind of backed the
claim that it didn't. But now my mind is
starting to change. See, in the recent
video, I condemned Purina and other
brands after thousands of pet owners
came forward. I'll put that video up on
the screen at the end of this video. But
anyways, after getting so many comments,
I've kind of come to the conclusion that
all these big pet food companies are
using preservatives and cheap
ingredients that risk your cat getting
cancer. Here's my advice to you. Avoid
kibble at all costs. Because, let's be
honest, would they really be eating
anything close to that in a normal diet
they have in the wild? Absolutely not.
However, I'm aware that not all of us
have the money to feed cats food that's
more expensive than human food. But if
you can, try to make them homemade
dinners with food that's not processed
as much as possible. Give them like
chicken and stuff like that. Now that
your eyes have been open to the horrors
of these major cat food companies, it's
time to make a decision. Will we
continue to fund these pet killing
companies? Or will we take action
against these terrible tragedies and
fight back to save as many lives as
possible? Make sure to subscribe if you
like this video and check out my other
content. I put some videos on the screen
that I think you'll like. And if you're
still interested after watching those,
do some research of your own. Anyways,
that's all for this video. Thank you so
much for watching. Make sure to leave a
comment telling me what you think. I
wish your pets the best of health.
