Oh my goodness! Jade, you wanna go see Barbara? You wanna go see Barbara? Come on, let’s go. Come get in the car. Get in the car. Good girl. So today we are introducing our dogs to a cat for the very first time. No idea what’s about to happen today. Good girl, good girl. I just feel like in a nice controlled environment, like your home, you can get to know the spawn of Satan in just kind of a one on one setting, so you can know what you’re up against. Why are you falling asleep? Who is it? Who’s there? Oh look it’s Barbara. Hello. Hey, hey, hey. There they are. Look at you, Blogging away, filming dogs. Look how happy they are to be together just hanging out, the two best friends. Sniff each other. Figure each other out. There they go. Hey Link. Hey. We’re doin’ it again. Am I filming you the right way now? You’re not, here, here, You’re, I I think so. You’re camera is pointed over here man. Was it? This is vlog two man. We gotta be better now. Oh we gotta be better. You also look like friggin’ Grisley Adams. You look like Link. All right, so the cat’s not here yet ’cause we gotta work this out. Okay, so one thing you should know is that we got some guys laying pipe today. They’re literally laying pipe. Turns out laying pipe makes more noise than you would think. So Jade, when you meet this cat I want you to look at it like a potential life-long partner. You want a the– No, I don’t wanna ’em to hook up. That’s not what I meant. I think if cats and dogs could be breed into Cogs and Dats. If that’s the ending of this vlog, that we make a hybrid, That won’t be. This isn’t a la That would be This isn’t a lab, this is a living room. Okay, now listen. You’re pretty much 30% cat yourself. I mean whenever I sit down you just wanna get in my lap. You don’t want to do anything. You don’t know any tricks. You don’t know any commands. What I’m saying is there’s a lot of cat in you, so I think you’re really gonna connect with meeting an actual cat. Okay Barbara, I think it’s important that you get into the right head space. In this house, we talk a lot of crap about cats, and I don’t know if that’s rubbed off on you. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. This is one of the biggest moments of your life. Face the camera. You’ve never met a cat. This is a whole different species. See, this is where she like to live. She just gets right here and then she’ll just sit there. Don’t they call that a lap cat? Well I’ve heard of lap dog. I want you to understand that cats, even if this cat’s seem Barbara, calm down. Even if this cat seems nice I want you to remember that it has evil intentions and you cannot trust it. Seriously. Listen, I’m just trying to be a good father, and I just think, definitively, objectively, conclusively, that dogs are better than cats in every way perceivable. Man, you look like a Wooky. They said that the cat has to get acclimated to a space and cannot meet the dogs first. Right. So we need to put the dogs in Barbara’s crate. Go to your house Barbara. Go to your house. Go in there. Good girl. Two girls, one cage. Good girls. SJ’s here with the cat so we’re gonna go meet her and the cat and let ’em in and get acclimated. Hey guys. There they are. Hey, oh my god. SJ! Oh yeah. Yeah we’re filming. Thanks for doing this. Yeah for sure. TJ? Yeah TJ. SJ. TJ. TJ. Yeah, FB, for Fireball. Fireball Oh, Fireball. That’s the perfect name. Well, I gotta go tell Barbara to shut up. Okay Barbara, you’ve gotta be patient, okay? Is Fireball a boy or a girl? You gotta be patient. Don’t Bark. He’s a boy. Get along, okay? We’ll come get you in a second. Get a life. Okay, just so you know what we’re trying to do today, Barbara and Jade, neither of them, have ever met a cat. So he’s pretty social, so I don’t think barking’s gonna freak him out. Okay. Well, let’s let’s let Fireball have his way with the place. All right, he’s loose. He loves smelling people’s mouths. That’s like the best way Oh really? to become friends with him. Hi wanna smell my mouth? I think you gotta be more subtle. You wanna smell my mouth? That’s subtle. I heard you guys are not cat people. I definitely prefer dogs, but I don’t want to not like cats. Gotcha. I’ve tried. I was actually once hypnotized to like cats. Really? And it didn’t take. What kinda cat is Fireball, like a orange one? He’s a Tabby, which just refers to being like a ginger. Okay, so we got a ginger cat. Do you think he’s evil at all? Uh, I think he’s capable of evil probably more like chaotic neutral. Chaotic neutral. Yeah. Okay. But, you’re not concerned about him meeting dogs that have never met a cat for the first time. No he’s just really curious. He likes other cats. He likes people. Look kids left a candy bar wrapper under the couch. Is the rest of this video just gonna be tryin’ to get a cat out from under a couch? I gotta be honest with you, this is what I thought was gonna happen. What is that? My kids Another candy bar wrapper. I gotta be a better father. You think we’re at a point where he can meet one dog? I think so. Okay guys, we decided, because this room is a little bit quieter we’re going to bring the cat in here. I’m afraid this cat’s gonna hurt one of our dogs. The cat seems to be docile. I know, I am but when I saw the cat, had the the claws came out. The claws came out? Yeah. The claws didn’t come out with me. Well. I think Fireball knew that you hated him. I think I look like a wolf. Our dogs are related to wolves. Do the math. Okay, I’m gonna bring in Jade. The cat’s up there. I’m kinda nervous. Okay Jade, here we go. Jade go this way. This way, look. There’s a cat in the room. She wants to see the other humans. Hey. Oh look, Fireball sees Jade but Jade has not seen Fireball. It looks like he’s ready to pounce. Jade come here. Jade has not noticed. The cat seems significantly smarter than the dog in this first interaction. I’m gonna I’m just gonna move this over. Oh here we go, here we go. Jade has seen the cat I think. Oh my goodness they’re kissing. The tail is wagging. They’re sniffin’ the butt. Oh! What is it Jade? Is this happiness or sadness? She’s confused. She’s trying to speak to it. She doesn’t know what the heck’s goin’ on. This is a cat. There she goes. Look, all of a sudden the cat has lost interest. I’m so encouraged that Jade’s tail is wagging. Yeah right now she just seems desperate to be liked. Look, oh, oh, she’s doing the butt Whoa, whoa, whoa She’s doing the butt scoot. What does that mean? Hey, Jade, don’t do that on my carpet. That’s offensive man. I think her butt’s just dirty. This is a power play by this cat. Here we go. Didn’t like, slow wag. I think, she thinks she needs to protect me. Well you do look, seem defenseless. This cat is controlling your dog. Fireball does not give a . There’s some sort of negative spiritual energy. Her soul absorbed the light. But, then– I think Jade really wants to sniff Fireball’s butt. I think that would make everything okay. I mean dog’s sniff each other’s butts when they first meet, so I think that’s what She thinks it’s a dog. She sniffed my butt the first time we met. Hey you’re doing good. You’re doing good Jade, just go on over there and introduce yourself. Fireball, we’re gonna need you to take the initiative here because Jade is freezing up. Look there she goes. She want’s to sniff that butt. She goes in for the butt. Jade, what did you think baby? Huh? Did you kinda make friends with the cat? She loves the cat’s ass. I think this is a good start for Jade. I mean, I think there’s grounds for a friendship. SJ? Yeah I think so. Good girl. You met a cat and you didn’t bite it. That’s the standard. I think you can be friends with a cat. He’s like, I think I know what’s about to happen. Okay, Hi. Again, Barbara’s checking out the humans. See, there’s a non-people. There’s a non-people Barbara. Same spot. Barbara I was hoping that you would represent the Mclaughlin family well and recognize that there’s a cat in the room. But obviously, you failed. Look. Barbara, Barbara Hold on, hold on. Oh my goodness! Okay, all right. Oh my goodness. She’s literally never done this with any being in the in the in the in the in the history of Barbara. All right Barbara, okay, we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna try this again. Yeah, okay. Okay, we gotta regroup. We gotta regroup. Oh my goodness. A bit traumatic, but Fireball seems pretty unfazed. Hey man, what the crap was that? Okay, you know Barbara well. Has she ever reacted to anything like this? Listen, she knows the deal man. I’m so proud. I’m so proud. I’m proud of you, ’cause you understand the truth. She sees the truth. Dogs don’t like cats man. You’re dog is a cat, you’re right. Yeah, yeah. My dog is reacting the way that they’re supposed to. But, we’re gonna give her another chance though. I think we’re gonna give her another chance. How are you gonna keep Barbara from barking? Well, I don’t think I can do that, but I’ll hold her this time. I won’t let her go. I’m gonna hold Barbara the whole time. Just be civilized okay? Nope. Yeah, bias is very deep with that white dog. Yeah. That is not happenin’ I mean I just wanna, I wanna apologize on behalf of my dog. I think you need to go over there and talk to Fireball directly. Fireball listen, bro. Here’s the deal man. You’re who you are. My dog is who she is. Listen to me when I’m talking to you. And, She knows you’re evil man. Hey listen, I wanted to love you. You have a bow tie. You’re kinda cute. You know how to pose for pictures and you look like you should be on a billboard somewhere, but the reality is is that you have evil intentions and my dog sniffed them out. I don’t think he was convinced man. No, he doesn’t care what I say. His reaction to my dog and your dog was exactly the same. Indifference. My dog is filled with rage right now. I think we’re just gonna have to call this one the failure of friendship. Well I would say mission accomplished. Jade almost made a friend. And, Barbara stayed true to the Mclaughlin family hatred of cats. Listen, I just wanna say that I legitimately keep trying to love cats. I’m not even joking. I tried to get hypnotized and then I tried to get my dog to be a friend with a cat. I’m not gonna give up. I still wanna love cats. I’m not a hateful person. I don’t have hate in my heart. Well something tells me that Fireball is not gonna come back. Yeah we’re gonna have to get a different cat. You did so good. You’re just so good. You did so good. So proud of you.
