4
27180

We have two cats they are.
5
29780

6
31450
5720

7
37170

00:38
Oh he's here.
8
38250
1080
00:39
I know how much you guys love cats so I thought well why not do a video, an English lesson
9
39330
5800
00:45
all about cats, how amazing.
10
45130
3380
00:48
Alright so here is Zorro.
11
48510
1310
00:49
This is Zorro, our big fluffy Zorro.
12
49820
3410
00:53
So tell me, talk us through Zorro's personality, what's he like?
13
53230
5370
00:58
Zorro is a bit mischievous, I would say.
14
58600
3140
01:01
And he actually doesn't want to stay in my hands right now because there's something
15
61740
4500
01:06
else going on.
16
66240
2160
01:08
He's also a bit fearless and very interested and very nosy.
17
68400
5240
01:13
Very nosy, yeah.
18
73640
1000
01:14
And he's got a huge personality.
19
74640
2650
01:17
He seems very curious, he's just kind of checking everything out.
20
77290
2520
01:19
He's super curious, yeah he's got to check everybody.
21
79810
2210
01:22
All the new people who come in he has to checks their bags.
22
82020
3080
01:25
Get in them, see what they've got.
23
85100
1770
01:26
Yeah he went straight into my bag, kind of sniffing through what's in there.
24
86870
3050
01:29
So yeah, got in your space.
25
89920
2330
01:32
Yeah he's very social.
26
92250
1550
01:33
Ok.
27
93800
1000
01:34
A social cat.
28
94800
1000
01:35
And how about Garfield?
29
95800
1650
01:37
Garfield is a bit more reserved, super loveable once you get to know him.
30
97450
6170
01:43
And he's very cuddly, he likes to be in your arms but you have to get to know him a little
31
103620
4770
01:48
bit because he gets a bit scared of some things and fast movements and sounds.
32
108390
7269
01:55
Yeah, you were saying that he was quite scared of my jacket.
33
115659
2371
01:58
I was wearing a kind of red jacket.
34
118030
1860
01:59
It was the sound and we think, because they are both rescues, and Zorro was born in a
35
119890
7520
02:07
kennel and Garfield was probably born I think somewhere in a forest so i think he was left
36
127410
6890
02:14
alone and I think he had to fight for himself.
37
134300
3230
02:17
He's a bit untrustworthy sometimes, but when you get to know him yeah.
38
137530
6480
02:24
And Zorro, like you could do anything with Zorro, he's got no sort of like strikes.
39
144010
7180
02:31
He doesn't strike you, he won't scratch you, you can do anything to Zorro but not to Garfield
40
151190
5780
02:36
you have to kind of give him a bit more space.
41
156970
1960
02:38
I feel very lucky that he's allowing me to stroke him.
42
158930
4150
02:43
Lots of hair everywhere.
43
163080
1210
02:44
Yeah, we've got cat hair everywhere.
44
164290
1820
02:46
Cat hair everywhere that's the thing when you have cats, yeah you're gonna have the
45
166110
4290
02:50
hair.
46
170400
1000
02:51
So what do you do to look after them day to day, what kind of things?
47
171400
4270
02:55
Cats are funny ones because they are very independent.
48
175670
4250
02:59
All those that have cats will know that.
49
179920
3300
03:03
But our cats, once we have them in the house they got really used to having us around,
50
183220
5450
03:08
very social.
51
188670
1980
03:10
We wanted them to be like that.
52
190650
2350
03:13
We want to be around a lot, we don't like to leave them too long or at least I don't
53
193000
4629
03:17
because I feel bad because they're lonely.
54
197629
1181
03:18
Even though they have each other they still like to have the human contact.
55
198810
7910
03:26
So they eat a lot, actually quite a lot.
56
206720
3100
03:29
So what do you give them to eat?
57
209820
2260
03:32
What kind of things?
58
212080
1000
03:33
Wet food, they will have wet food and dry food as well.
59
213080
2470
03:35
Ok.
60
215550
1000
03:36
And I change the water, I'm a bit crazy with water changing because I do it two or three
61
216550
3910
03:40
times a day.
62
220460
1100
03:41
Zorro should get brushing but he hates it.
63
221560
2090
03:43
Ok.
64
223650
1000
03:44
And he really hates it, I could chase him around for like an hour and get like a little
65
224650
3580
03:48
tiny hair ball.
66
228230
1380
03:49
Ok.
67
229610
1000
03:50
Garfield loves brushing.
68
230610
1590
03:52
So that's you brushing with a brush?
69
232200
4039
03:56
Yeah we have a really special brush actually, I have it here.
70
236239
4291
04:00
It's a special brush, works well for log haired kitties so Zorro hates it, he really doesn't
71
240530
8800
04:09
like it.
72
249330
1000
04:10
I don't know, he's just like 'get that off me, don't touch me with that.'
73
250330
1520
04:11
He likes the fuss but just not the brush.
74
251850
4550
04:16
Right.
75
256400
1000
04:17
But Garfield loves brushing.
76
257400
1100
04:18
So brushing, playtime, very important.
77
258500
2320
04:20
Yeah so do you have separate playtime?
78
260820
3270
04:24
Do you give a certain amount of playtime to them?
79
264090
2420
04:26
If I can yeah, because mainly at night or before I go out because i want them to get
80
266510
6890
04:33
all their energy out and I feel awful when I leave them alone so it makes me feel better
81
273400
4910
04:38
knowing when I walk out the door they have been playing.
82
278310
4850
04:43
They like the laser, love the laser!
83
283160
2270
04:45
Yes, we will show you the laser a bit later on.
84
285430
2510
04:47
Yes, the laser is very handy because you can be very lazy and just move that laser around
85
287940
5490
04:53
and let them do all the work.
86
293430
1340
04:54
And they just follow it don't they?
87
294770
1621
04:56
They do, yeah and I feel a bit bad because they never catch the laser, it's always something
88
296391
8549
05:04
that they are kind of left without.
89
304940
1640
05:06
Like juts when they think they've caught the laser, it's not there.
90
306580
2960
05:09
Yeah, it was a lie.
91
309540
3480
05:13
So I don play with actual toys with them as well.
92
313020
2630
05:15
Garfield is trying to drink some wine.
93
315650
4470
05:20
Yeah, Garfield is just like Garfield because he'll eat anything.
94
320120
6720
05:26
The little things that they do have certain meanings, right?
95
326840
1950
05:28
So you were saying that when they rub themselves against a chair what does that mean?
96
328790
5890
05:34
Well Garfield does a lot of rubbing, he's rubbing himself on everything.
97
334680
4080
05:38
I'm not exactly sure what it means but I guess it's some kind of feel-good thing.
98
338760
5950
05:44
I mean he's kind of, I don't know, kind of happy and he does it to me.
99
344710
5679
05:50
He rubs himself on my leg or on my hand and sometimes it's a pet me thing.
100
350389
6391
05:56
But you know how cats can be a bit fickle?
101
356780
3139
05:59
Yeah.
102
359919
1000
06:00
And like if you like go and pet them, they may not like that.
103
360919
1441
06:02
They may give you a little swot.
104
362360
3040
06:05
But Garfield does that but Zorro doesn't do it.
105
365400
2920
06:08
With their personalities they are like that.
106
368320
2830
06:11
Ok.
107
371150
1000
06:12
So, but I know how to read Garfield and I know when a swot is coming, so I know when
108
372150
5760
06:17
to like, enough is enough, enough petting.
109
377910
3950
06:21
He seems to be, sort of, getting more used to me being here.
110
381860
4380
06:26
Yeah, he's cleaning himself.
111
386240
1630
06:27
Yeah, that does tend to keep happening.
112
387870
2870
06:30
That does keep happening.
113
390740
1240
06:31
You know like, everybody with cats will know this thing as well that like you could have
114
391980
3969
06:35
guests over and then the cat will start cleaning itself in a really kind of, I don't know,
115
395949
5181
06:41
how would you say?
116
401130
1430
06:42
Open maybe.
117
402560
1000
06:43
Yeah.
118
403560
1000
06:44
Carefree.
119
404560
1000
06:45
Carefree, actually.
120
405560
1000
06:46
Like 'hey you are here, I'm going to clean myself.'
121
406560
4850
06:51
Yeah Zorro was juts like on this carpet, just like, legs everywhere.
122
411410
3900
06:55
Legs everywhere, didn't care.
123
415310
2400
06:57
So it's like oh that's our cat.
124
417710
4190
07:01
Yeah.
125
421900
1000
07:02
So describing what the cats look like.
126
422900
2389
07:05
How would you describe Garfield?
127
425289
2341
07:07
Garfield is quite small and he has this red orange hair.
128
427630
9750
07:17
He's going to bite me, he licks me.
129
437380
2420
07:19
And he's got a bit of a small face, I'm not sure what exactly he's mixed with but he looks
130
439800
6619
07:26
a bit like a British cat.
131
446419
1941
07:28
Like that's what we've been told as well.
132
448360
2029
07:30
But he's tiny, he's got small ears, small paws so he's quite a small cat.
133
450389
6821
07:37
Nice long white whiskers.
134
457210
1609
07:38
Long white whiskers.
135
458819
1031
07:39
Big eyes, nice and round, very pretty and striking.
136
459850
4590
07:44
Actually they are kind of like the same colour as his hair.
137
464440
4250
07:48
Yeah.
138
468690
1000
07:49
Short hair.
139
469690
1840
07:51
Kind of orange.
140
471530
1560
07:53
Yeah orangey eyes.
141
473090
1370
07:54
Yeah and a beautiful fur, I guess we would say like a coat or beautiful fur I guess.
142
474460
5720
08:00
Yeah, it's a nice coat, short coat.
143
480180
1920
08:02
So far so good, they are almost two so they are still young.
144
482100
3450
08:05
Ok.
145
485550
1000
08:06
So how long would a cat usually, a life of a cat what is it?
146
486550
3679
08:10
A life of a cat, they could live up to eighteen or nineteen.
147
490229
3211
08:13
Oh wow ok!
148
493440
1190
08:14
Probably a few years above that too, I mean I hope ours live as long as possible but they
149
494630
7310
08:21
can have a long life yeah.
150
501940
1420
08:23
Ok.
151
503360
1000
08:24
And then how would you describe Zorro?
152
504360
2330
08:26
Oh my goodness, Zorro well he's striking in a different way than Garfield.
153
506690
5360
08:32
Garfield is kind of cute, he looks a bit more like a girl as well, a girl cat and Zorro
154
512050
7720
08:39
is handsome in a way.
155
519770
2870
08:42
And he's got long hair, very fluffy.
156
522640
2740
08:45
Yeah really fluffy, kind of, really puffs out.
157
525380
3840
08:49
Yeah it puffs out so he looks really big but actually if he gets wet.
158
529220
3390
08:52
I mean we rarely get him wet, only if he wants to get wet, if we are in the sauna or something,
159
532610
6630
08:59
then he'll shrink down a size.
160
539240
1890
09:01
And he looks really scrawny so yeah.
161
541130
4699
09:05
Fluffy, big paws, actually black paws so Garfield has pink paw pads and Zorro has black paw
162
545829
8471
09:14
pads.
163
554300
1000
09:15
And yellow eyes.
164
555300
1570
09:16
Cute and handsome at the same time.
165
556870
2630
09:19
