White with one blue eye and one green eye. When I was a kid in Jersey City (Astounding place BTW) I found a white cat in my back yard with the same colors. When I went to pet it, it bit right through my finger. Only later did I find out it couldn't decipher my attempt at a soothing and reassuring voice because she was deaf. Damn what a beautiful cat. You made a great video It brought back memories from long ago. You people that love animals are doing God's work.
I had a cat who used to complain very loudly. Hissing, growling, you name it. She never scratched me. She followed me absolutely everywhere and trusted me completely. She was just a very vocal cat. When she was in "complain modus" I figured out that feeding her a little bit of unsweetened peanut butter would result in a mix of growling, licking and purring. So yeah, some cats are just wired differently.
For those of you that don't have a deaf cat, they can't hear you but they can see your mouth moving so they think you're chatting, and they also like the feeling of you talking if you're holding them. So actually, talking is fantastic.
Yeah, that's what I assumed, plus sensing the vibrations. My cat is also absolutely white without a single dark hair, but she's not deaf (she has green eyes) and so I'm not exactly familiar with having a deaf cat, but I am familiar with people assuming my cat is deaf 😅
@@atriyakoller136 Meanwhile I got the opposite issue. Got a teeny tiny orange tabby girl who's completely fucking deaf and yet nobody ever assumes. 😂 They're shocked when I say it.
That is the most distress I think I've yet seen in the face of a cat being bathed. Yet she still behaved so well. No fighting, just *_C O M P L A I N I N G._*
I've dealt with a fully deaf dog before and you just can't help yourself but say comforting words. Or anything really. Walking with two hearing dogs and one deaf dog especially. The deaf one will wander off (off leash) and I'd be like 'Nala, no, this wa- oh why do I bother' and then I'd trot after her. But I never stopped talking to her.
I have a cat exactly like Mila, but with blue eyes and hears way too well, and acts exactly like her when taking a bath. She will meow like there's no tomorrow demanding pets, and when I try bathing her, she meows like she's being killed 😂
Mila is the first cat on my computer to ever make my one cat concerned. She ignores all other cat sounds from my computer. But Mila made her want to rescue the cat stuck in here.
My lazy bum of a cat woke up and looked at me accusingly, came down and sat on the keyboard until I put in headphones, and meanwhile my german shepherd 2 y/o came running to see if our cat was being murdered. She was most concerned. Mila does not sound too dissimilar to Vas'ka when he is asking for fresh fish in the middle of the night. He too sounds like he is being murdered unless he gets his favourite fresh frozen fish as a snack at 2/3 am. 2 years and Luna is still concerned every night when he raises bloody murder meows at 2 or 3 in the morning.
I had a cat that was just as vocal when he was being bathed. He would sit there and be so well behaved but the I am being murdered meow would continue for the entire bath. I think this cat was so grateful not to be itchy anymore. Beautiful.
Haha, my sweet boy, the late Elrond, was the exact same way. He wouldn't bite or fight me if I had to bathe him, he would just stand there and yell until it was over. Thankfully I only ever had to bathe him twice in his 14+ years. Both times were because he got in to something and was super stinky.
Yea my cat would do that, until she discovered a better means of passive resistance: backing up to the shower wall and spraying. “While you’re cleaning, hooman, clean THIS.” 😅
Years ago I went to my uncle's house and one of my cousins had a white deaf kitten. I'm not a cat person so of course at night the kitten decided to sleep on top of my. It purred and meowed so loud that I couldn't sleep lmao
I love cats, but am allergic... when I went to sleep overs at friends houses their cats would sleep next to my head... my eyes would be swollen shut in the morning. A rather mean when awake siamese really loved sleeping by my head. I have had a cat, it was a stray and he was part persian and I didn't have as severe of allergies with him. And allergy medicines have come a long way in my life. He was a sweetheart.
It’s definitely true that cats find the one person that’s not interested in them. I’m such a sucker for cats and my mom is allergic and doesn’t like them. I can be practically shaking with hope and they will always. Choose. Her. Pisses us both off lol
Our deaf white kitty with one blue eye and one hazel eye meows exactly like that when we wash him. He sits completely still, tilts his head back and SHOUTSSSSSSS TO HIGH HEAVEN. He's adorable. If he is napping and he wakes up and sees us in the room with him, he'll start purring so loud we can hear it across the room.
What a wonderful person this groomer. She did everything she could to make the grooming as comfortable as could be. I really appreciate this lady's heart.
I’ve had a deaf cat and god lord was she loud! She thought she was meowing normally, but she was screaming. Sometimes people thought I had a fussy (human) baby. She did know some sign language: come here, get down, up, treat. Unfortunately I had to give her up when I moved to an apartment (two cat limit, and I was worried about disturbing neighbors. I gave her back to the same no-kill shelter I got her from and explained the situation. They were very sweet and understanding. She got adopted almost right away when they took her to adoption event. Apparently she was adopted by an older couple who loved how chatty she was and were impressed by her understanding of sign language. I think either one or both of them were hearing impaired.
@@alyssagross5360 Could be! I've heard that she is doing well with them. (I used to foster feral and semi-feral kittens for the shelter, so they let me know whenever they hear from the couple.) I miss fostering. I should check with my landlord and see how they feel about me temporarily going over the pet limit from time to time. I mean, I already pay them $100 a month pet fee in addition to my rent ($50 per pet).
I also have a deaf cat who I suspect has a very mild case of hypoplasia. Mila acts just like her. The meowing, the constant affection seeking even though she doesn't care to be held.
Not to ruin the train, but I have a CH cat who wants to be held constantly. He does panic sometimes during the process of being picked up or set down, but he always demands to be held.
As somebody who owns a deaf pet, thank you for being patient and understanding with them! It took me a long time to find a groomer who was willing to adjust to his needs and help him be less fearful.
Mine was a black smoke, so she looked very different from this beauty. Our white cloud was a Norwegian Forest Cat, who had 2 blue eyes but from what we could tell could hear just fine. He was also half again bigger. Miss him.
@@Quotenwagnerianerthere is genetic deafness that can occur over time. She might very been able to hear, at least a bit, as a kitten then lost it as she got older
@@mcrchickenluvr Only if they have blue eyes. Only about 20 percent of white cats with non-blue eyes are deaf. The rate rises to 40% if a cat has a single blue eye, and as high as 85% with two blue eyes. In odd-eyed cats the ear on the blue-eyed side is more commonly affected.
Mila did really well for a CH kitty. Many are way more wobblier and unstable. What a love bug she was, even though she screamed at you the whole time, lol. I love how you talked to her the whole time. I have a deaf cat and talk to her all the time like she can hear me, lol.
Oh heck that is too funny! It was music to my ears! Lol. My cats all came running and I gave them the pleasure of listening to Mila full blast. I watch a lot of cat videos, they know when I have the iPad in my hands, funny cats talk out of it 😂❤
My deaf (due to old age) long-haired girl was also so aggressively affectionate that it was nearly impossible to brush or shave her. I miss her so much.
Those pink toe beans are just the cutest. I had a Siamese cat who wasn't deaf, but she did have Cerebellar Hypoplasia, or "wobbly cat syndrome". She fell over all the time, and although it was sad to watch, that was just how life had always been for her, so it didn't seem to bother her. The best thing is that she never jumped up on things she wasn't supposed to be on, like countertops.
My old cat was kind of like that about brushing. We got Gizmo's claws professionally clipped one time because I had trouble doing it (she haaaaaated it). Because I told them she loves brushies, the groomer brushed her afterwards to try to calm her down. I came in to pick Gizmo up, and found the groomer trying to pry the brush away from Gizmo - she had a death grip on it so she could smash her face into it and wasn't giving up her brushies. The only safe way I ever found to get a brush away from her without drama was just to pick her up (brush and all) and hold her bum up and head down. She lets go of the brush, she gets put right side up and cuddles. Oh. And she loved the hairdryer. She was a weird cat.
I had a cat that LOVED the hair dryer. Good thing, too, because he needed regular baths. I found him as a kitten, while cycling, after he had been hit by a car. The head trauma left him with some..... quirks. He was not good about grooming himself.
One cat on my feline staff loved being vacuumed with a regular vacuum cleaner. She wasn't deaf either. I used the normal tube part without any attachment. This was before topical flea treatments. Vacuuming didn't help with the fleas, although it probably helped with the flea dirt. I spent a lot of time flea combing cats and drowning the retrieved fleas in a container of soapy water... and tripping over flea traps on the floor. Vacuumed daily and sprayed surfaces with borax solution to kill eggs. Put a piece of flea collar in the vacuum cleaner. One cat and I were sensitive to pesticides, but 3M had an encapsulated option that was ok for floors and the rest of us. I sprayed the yard with flea munching nematodes. My life revolved around the never-ending flea battle. When Frontline arrived on the market, it was a miracle. Within an hour of application, the only fleas on the most attractive flea bait kitty were dead or acting like drunken sailors. My cats became very efficient little flea killing machines, indoors and outdoors. I got an honorable discharge as a flea combat veteran. It had been so bad that I had a note on the door in case of emergency: "3 cats and millions of fleas inside". It all started from a friend's little itchy dog she brought into my house briefly. Before that, we had had five blissful flea-free years.
whatever she was saying got both my cats to come over and investigate, and they have never done that for any of the kitties before (which is saying something because I've been watching GwtD for YEARS)
Apparently Mila has an exceptional spicy language in cat. Others in the commends said, their cat (who usually also ignores anything cat) were also quite intrigues by Milas Song of her ancestors (that had MANY verses). *rofl*
I had a short haired version of her for 17yrs. She had the odd color eyes but she wasn’t deaf or blind and she was the most loving cat ever. She would come running if I was singing or whistling. I miss my little Sapphire dearly. 😢❤
Do you know the breed? I adopted a 5 yo tom that looks almost exactly like her. He's beautiful, but I always thought he was a non specific breed. He's so affectionate 😊
@@kaym.5058 I believe it's Turkish Van if he has different eye colors, they're sometimes deaf. The other option is Turkish angora, they usually have the same eye color - yellow or green. They can be long or shorthair. They're really intelligent and mellow cats, I'm happy for you ☺
4:51 bless her! one of my cats constantly had this problem during trips to the vet, he was so affectionate with everyone that it was genuinely difficult to keep him still for stuff like blood tests, and every single time they tried to listen for his heartbeat they couldn't hear it over his purring. more cats are like this than people think!!
Oh the meowing.... When I moved from the QC Eastern Townships down to Ottawa with my 2 cats and my dog, it was a 4 1/2 hour drive. My normally quiet Minou meowed and yowled virtually non-stop, all the way there. Her volume and pure outrage were just like Mila's, when she's in the bath and pretty much banishing you to the depths of H***. It's always a joy to watch you work with the scared, nippy or offended ones, you are very good at managing your space, the time you take, and your actions in order to lower their stress level as much as possible. Thanks for all you do 🙂
I have three cats, one of them is Turkish Angora and she is deaf like Mila. I remember when we got her, first few nights we were waking up to this extremely loud screaming. It was like being in a horror movie. 3 years later, these same loud screams happen every night but we just got used to them. High five to all of the cat parents that have deaf kitties!
thank you so much for this comment!! my partner and i adopted 2 deaf cats a month ago and damn near had a mental breakdown during the first two weeks because they would not stop screaming at night.. we werent sure if that was normal behaviour for deaf cats. we assume they were also very stressed from the change, they now barely scream at night, its such a relief!
@yubmarie you are an amazing human being! Deaf cats are great and loving creatures once they get used to the new environment. Our deaf Turkish Angora is besties with my husband. She follows him anywhere he goes, falls asleep next to him and waits by the door near the time he comes back home from work. Don't get discouraged by the rough beginnings. It's so worth it ❤️
Poor Mila is being groomed for the first time. And she’s deaf. So everything is strange to her. She’s a beautiful kitty. 🐾🐾🐾 thank you for being so kind to her. She hungry feed me lady! 😂😂
When her voice cracked while she was meowing I got teary :( I know she’s not in danger but hearing that makes me want to give her pets and comfort her :( Also I have a deaf cat named Coltrane who is very loud. His howls sound like he’s saying “HELLO????” I still talk to him even though he can’t hear, and when he’s not hungry or trying to find a place to pee/poop (he doesn’t use the litterbox anymore) he can be a real lovebug.
What does he use? When my boy had renal disease and had trouble walking into the litter box, I would put down old towels for him to pee on It was also a good way to check the color of his urine to make sure he didn’t have any crystals in His bladder. Damn, I miss my boys🥺. He passed away earlier this year, and his twin brother passed away last year, so at least they are together again
What a lovely little deaf cloud girl.. I felt so bad for her, stressing out like that, but she probably felt really good when it was done. Sweet baby. 🥺🥰
Mila was complaining and my cat heard from downstairs and came upstairs and started to meow as well 😂 He felt her pain of that very hurtful water 😂😂😂😂😂 She is gorgeous ❤❤❤❤
She's adorable but my goodness is she a squirmy worm! As the owner of a doggo with health issues it's always nice to see people loving and caring for pets with problems. Broken animals need love too!
Why would you say they're broken being disabled =/= being broken it just means being differently abled... you wouldn't tell a disabled human they're broken so why would you say that about any other animal.
@@TheQuickSilver101Yeah, the weird need to relabel disabilities isn’t doing a thing to accommodate them. You can’t support something if you refuse to admit there are support needs. My daughter is hypermobile and had stomach issues and these things do indeed come with challenges and are disabilities. And we both deal with ADHD and Autism. I do consider the neurodivergence to be “differently abled” I guess, but as long as the rest of the world does things one way and we can’t, we’re disabled in it. And our cat has no health issues but she wasn’t getting adopted and needed a home with no other pets. Gotta recognize the need to fulfill it. Not everyone could take Ooky, and not everyone can handle a disabled cat.
@@stardoll1995I have chronic pain and hypermobility, and my PT says she has elderly patients whose bodies aren’t as messed up as mine. I also have a lot of other health issues that come with hypermobility like IBS, TMJ disorder, fibromyalgia, etc. My body is indeed broken; it’s not offensive, it’s the truth. There are things other people can do easily that are always going to be hard for me.
What a fluffy snowflake!❄️Her eyes are mesmerizing.😵💫As a former ASL interpreter, I would love to know how her owners communicate with her. My fellow interpreter had a deaf dog and he knew so many signs. I would volunteer to hug, hold, love, pet, squeeze Mila any time they need a volunteer! 😉
Believe me, she is not that loud, i have a british shorthair with leucism, he´s also deaf, when i leave my appartment you can hear him screaming thru the whole building like he gets tortured and when i open the door again he gives this sweet little meow like nothing happened.
My calico usually ignores cat videos, but she was very concerned during Mila's bath! I was watching on my TV and she kept going from speaker to speaker!
MIla consumed every rejected tube offered from cats past present and future.
I thought the same! Finally a cat who eagerly eats tubes!
LOL! 😂😂😂❤
I also thought about those rejected, opened tubes! 😂
🤣🤣🤣💖
“It’s okay, Mila.”
“DISAGREE”
More pets? PETS!
" ' , ."
"What? Uhhh.... DISAGREE!"
"Objection!"
White with one blue eye and one green eye.
When I was a kid in Jersey City (Astounding place BTW) I found a white cat in my back yard with the same colors.
When I went to pet it, it bit right through my finger.
Only later did I find out it couldn't decipher my attempt at a soothing and reassuring voice because she was deaf.
Damn what a beautiful cat.

I laughed so hard at that, for a moment I sounded like a singing husky.
Lots of complaints, but no hissing or growling. What a sweetie!
that's communication not complaining, cats don't complain, they either talk it out or fight it out
No biting or scratching either! She's a good girl, she just wants to yell about the injustice of being groomed! :D

I adore when cats meow with all their might, so they tilt their heads back as if it would give more power to it.
Yep, they say it with their whole chest!
You would not find it so adorable if you had a cat that did so constantly. It’s cute, to a point…

Exactly. I’ve found that if a cat can or can’t hear they enjoy the vibrations from your voice in your chest. It’s sort of like purring to them.
They can always hear the cat food being opened though. I haven’t quite figured that out

That is the most distress I think I've yet seen in the face of a cat being bathed.
Yet she still behaved so well. No fighting, just *_C O M P L A I N I N G._*
I had a feral cat that I bought to the vets...No joke it took 2 of us to hold her down for her shots.
I love how she's so used to comforting the animals that she still says "it's okay" to a deaf cat ❤️
It's like telling a blind person to"watch out" LOL 😂😂😂
I noticed the tapping to show Mila the treats. Maybe it helped her find the treat.

Hey, I’m sure Mika understands the sentiment ok
she wasn’t squirmy because she hated grooming, but because she wanted pets 😂
my gals do that too.

My old cat was kind of like that about brushing. We got Gizmo's claws professionally clipped one time because I had trouble doing it (she haaaaaated it). Because I told them she loves brushies, the groomer brushed her afterwards to try to calm her down.
I came in to pick Gizmo up, and found the groomer trying to pry the brush away from Gizmo - she had a death grip on it so she could smash her face into it and wasn't giving up her brushies.
The only safe way I ever found to get a brush away from her without drama was just to pick her up (brush and all) and hold her bum up and head down. She lets go of the brush, she gets put right side up and cuddles.
Oh. And she loved the hairdryer. She was a weird cat.
That’s so funny! 😎🤭 (And Gizmo is an awesome pet name!)
😂❤
I had a cat that LOVED the hair dryer. Good thing, too, because he needed regular baths. I found him as a kitten, while cycling, after he had been hit by a car. The head trauma left him with some..... quirks. He was not good about grooming himself.
Weird cats are the best cats... in my humble opinion! I would've adored Gizmo.
One cat on my feline staff loved being vacuumed with a regular vacuum cleaner. She wasn't deaf either. I used the normal tube part without any attachment.
This was before topical flea treatments. Vacuuming didn't help with the fleas, although it probably helped with the flea dirt. I spent a lot of time flea combing cats and drowning the retrieved fleas in a container of soapy water... and tripping over flea traps on the floor. Vacuumed daily and sprayed surfaces with borax solution to kill eggs. Put a piece of flea collar in the vacuum cleaner. One cat and I were sensitive to pesticides, but 3M had an encapsulated option that was ok for floors and the rest of us. I sprayed the yard with flea munching nematodes. My life revolved around the never-ending flea battle.
When Frontline arrived on the market, it was a miracle. Within an hour of application, the only fleas on the most attractive flea bait kitty were dead or acting like drunken sailors. My cats became very efficient little flea killing machines, indoors and outdoors. I got an honorable discharge as a flea combat veteran.
It had been so bad that I had a note on the door in case of emergency: "3 cats and millions of fleas inside". It all started from a friend's little itchy dog she brought into my house briefly. Before that, we had had five blissful flea-free years.
whatever she was saying got both my cats to come over and investigate, and they have never done that for any of the kitties before (which is saying something because I've been watching GwtD for YEARS)
Humans born deaf can make sounds but not necessarily the words, so maybe it is the same here? She meows correctly but It's just gibberish 😂
I can't watch these videos with the kitties around because they think the critters need help, and they wanna help so they run up to the screen.
Same. My cat is normally uninterested in these videos, but this time, he stood up to look at the screen.
Apparently Mila has an exceptional spicy language in cat. Others in the commends said, their cat (who usually also ignores anything cat) were also quite intrigues by Milas Song of her ancestors (that had MANY verses). *rofl*
I had a short haired version of her for 17yrs. She had the odd color eyes but she wasn’t deaf or blind and she was the most loving cat ever. She would come running if I was singing or whistling. I miss my little Sapphire dearly. 😢❤
Do you know the breed? I adopted a 5 yo tom that looks almost exactly like her. He's beautiful, but I always thought he was a non specific breed. He's so affectionate 😊
@@kaym.5058 I believe it's Turkish Van if he has different eye colors, they're sometimes deaf. The other option is Turkish angora, they usually have the same eye color - yellow or green. They can be long or shorthair. They're really intelligent and mellow cats, I'm happy for you ☺
I am sorry for you loss
Same ♥️ but my Isabel was profoundly deaf from birth. She was skeptical of everyone but me, and I’ve missed her every day for 20 years now.
@@aphraell thank you!
4:51 bless her! one of my cats constantly had this problem during trips to the vet, he was so affectionate with everyone that it was genuinely difficult to keep him still for stuff like blood tests, and every single time they tried to listen for his heartbeat they couldn't hear it over his purring. more cats are like this than people think!!
Oh my gosh, she was so good, she couldn’t hear your voices trying to soothe her. She still tried, thank you for being so understanding xx
What pretty girl she is. Glad to see she's not letting anything hold her back and being the best cat she can be.
Why would she? It's normal to her.
Both of my kitties came running as soon as they heard the meowing and were very interested in this video! 🐾
Help ! Help ! She is killing me with cleanliness !
i'm being oppressed!
@@goldensloth7
Ah! The Monty Python reference! I approve! 👍🏻
Precious Girl Mila. You have the best girl helping you. Brave Little Girl.🐈💖😀🇦🇺 Looking Beautiful Mila.
I’m so thrilled to see a wobbly cat! As the mom to two of them they are the best 💗
This is the first cat that accepted her peace offering.
Oh I just noticed her eyes, BEAUTIFUL. She is a beautiful kitty.
What a chaos noodle I love her!
Oh the meowing.... When I moved from the QC Eastern Townships down to Ottawa with my 2 cats and my dog, it was a 4 1/2 hour drive. My normally quiet Minou meowed and yowled virtually non-stop, all the way there. Her volume and pure outrage were just like Mila's, when she's in the bath and pretty much banishing you to the depths of H***. It's always a joy to watch you work with the scared, nippy or offended ones, you are very good at managing your space, the time you take, and your actions in order to lower their stress level as much as possible. Thanks for all you do 🙂
Such..honorable patience..! 😊
Thank you, from all us Kitty's...!
I was watching this with my cat sitting next to me. She heard Mila meowing and she looks very concerned lol
😂
One of my cats as well. He even got up to check and see if I somehow brought *another* annoying sibling for him home 😂
I have three cats, one of them is Turkish Angora and she is deaf like Mila. I remember when we got her, first few nights we were waking up to this extremely loud screaming. It was like being in a horror movie. 3 years later, these same loud screams happen every night but we just got used to them. High five to all of the cat parents that have deaf kitties!
My gosh. You're amazing people to listen to that every night & it doesn't bother you. She never settles down?
@@kathyflorcruz552 she does settle down once she navigates where we or other cats are 😅
thank you so much for this comment!! my partner and i adopted 2 deaf cats a month ago and damn near had a mental breakdown during the first two weeks because they would not stop screaming at night.. we werent sure if that was normal behaviour for deaf cats. we assume they were also very stressed from the change, they now barely scream at night, its such a relief!
@yubmarie you are an amazing human being! Deaf cats are great and loving creatures once they get used to the new environment. Our deaf Turkish Angora is besties with my husband. She follows him anywhere he goes, falls asleep next to him and waits by the door near the time he comes back home from work. Don't get discouraged by the rough beginnings. It's so worth it ❤️
She very much reminds me of my cat. Equally loud yowling and the obsession to never stay still when you're trying to brush or pet her.
What a beautiful girl! I hope she has a long, healthy and happy life! 🤍 Thank you for helping her!
Poor Mila is being groomed for the first time. And she’s deaf. So everything is strange to her. She’s a beautiful kitty. 🐾🐾🐾 thank you for being so kind to her. She hungry feed me lady! 😂😂
When her voice cracked while she was meowing I got teary :( I know she’s not in danger but hearing that makes me want to give her pets and comfort her :(
Also I have a deaf cat named Coltrane who is very loud. His howls sound like he’s saying “HELLO????” I still talk to him even though he can’t hear, and when he’s not hungry or trying to find a place to pee/poop (he doesn’t use the litterbox anymore) he can be a real lovebug.
What does he use?
When my boy had renal disease and had trouble walking into the litter box, I would put down old towels for him to pee on
It was also a good way to check the color of his urine to make sure he didn’t have any crystals in His bladder.
Damn, I miss my boys🥺.
He passed away earlier this year, and his twin brother passed away last year, so at least they are together again
I was looking for this comment because I feel the same way
@@spiralrose from one stranger on the internet to another I hope you are feeling better, losing pets are never easy they after all are family to!
Mila is so sweet and so beautiful. I think she’s the first cat I’ve seen you groom who had to be pushed back into her carrier.
That Meowie Vuitton bag is so cool lol
Really hope Mila returns someday!! I love going back to this video!
God bless you for taking such tender care of these beautiful creatures.
My personal opinion is the rubbing against you was letting you know you are hers and only hers and don’t you forget it😂
She’s such a pretty lady. Has a lot to say too.
So squirmy! But what a sweet baby, I love her complaining 😂
Great job grooming this wiggly girl! She looks great!!
Well, she definitely knows how to ger all the treats!
Beautiful & adorable!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Can tell she’s pampered and loved with her Louis Vuitton carrier in all ❤😊sweet beautiful baby
What a lovely little deaf cloud girl.. I felt so bad for her, stressing out like that, but she probably felt really good when it was done. Sweet baby. 🥺🥰
Watching you race to brush her before she finished her snacks was sooooo cute
Mila was complaining and my cat heard from downstairs and came upstairs and started to meow as well 😂
He felt her pain of that very hurtful water 😂😂😂😂😂
She is gorgeous ❤❤❤❤
She's beautiful!
Mila is so pretty! She is lucky to have such caring owners. That was a fun groom!! I am sure she felt so much better afterwards. She is so pretty!
She's adorable but my goodness is she a squirmy worm! As the owner of a doggo with health issues it's always nice to see people loving and caring for pets with problems. Broken animals need love too!
Why would you say they're broken being disabled =/= being broken it just means being differently abled... you wouldn't tell a disabled human they're broken so why would you say that about any other animal.
@@stardoll1995 I have a disability and I'm the first to admit that I'm broken. It's not the end of the world but I am indeed broken
@@TheQuickSilver101Yeah, the weird need to relabel disabilities isn’t doing a thing to accommodate them. You can’t support something if you refuse to admit there are support needs. My daughter is hypermobile and had stomach issues and these things do indeed come with challenges and are disabilities. And we both deal with ADHD and Autism. I do consider the neurodivergence to be “differently abled” I guess, but as long as the rest of the world does things one way and we can’t, we’re disabled in it.
And our cat has no health issues but she wasn’t getting adopted and needed a home with no other pets. Gotta recognize the need to fulfill it. Not everyone could take Ooky, and not everyone can handle a disabled cat.
@@stardoll1995I have chronic pain and hypermobility, and my PT says she has elderly patients whose bodies aren’t as messed up as mine. I also have a lot of other health issues that come with hypermobility like IBS, TMJ disorder, fibromyalgia, etc. My body is indeed broken; it’s not offensive, it’s the truth. There are things other people can do easily that are always going to be hard for me.
I feel like this experience stressed Mila out too much.
What a squiggly little thing. The way she went for the tube you'd think she never ate befere. LOVE this kitty!!
Sie looks like Duchesse in aristocats❤
I believe you’re right! She appears to be the same breed, Turkish Angora.
Oh, my goodness, that was so sweet!! I'm glad she was a "thank you, come again". Dear cat!!!
Stunning and I'm sure she's lovely with her owners.
What a gorgeous kitty and those eyes are beautiful
I had to turn the sound off and turn on captions because all my kitties were concerned. You are so kind to the cats, thank you for that.
I was starting to get agitated by it and I'm not even a cat 💀
Lol, you are the third Person I have found in the comments who had to do that😸
4:52 😢❤ Omg she is so sweet i love her. Someone is a lucky owner having her.
Turkish angora cat. I have one. They are very talkative and playfull. Whenever we call our's name - Chili, she meows back :D
this is the cutest cat ever lol i love it when deaf cats meow❤ it really comes from the soul
4:13 She is like “I know I can’t hear. But can you hear me!?” 😂
she's deaf
"It's okay, it's okay" says Vanessa
hahaha
Mila is the kind of cat who will love you so much that she'll lose her balance doing so. She's an absolute joy!!

She is the sweetest cat I've ever seen
What a fluffy snowflake!❄️Her eyes are mesmerizing.😵💫As a former ASL interpreter, I would love to know how her owners communicate with her. My fellow interpreter had a deaf dog and he knew so many signs. I would volunteer to hug, hold, love, pet, squeeze Mila any time they need a volunteer! 😉
She looks like a soft fluffy cloud.
She has clearly never been fed EVER and wants the world to know it ;) What an absolute darling she is :)
Pretty Mila 😍 and behaving sooooo well! No biting or scratching 🥰Well done!
Omg she sounds soooo pitiful but she's so beautiful and sweet!!
Aww, she wanted some love after her grooming. She is very sweet.❤❤
Poor, wonky, chaotic beautiful girl, I love her so much! ❤
The song of her people indeed. What an honour!
Believe me, she is not that loud, i have a british shorthair with leucism, he´s also deaf, when i leave my appartment you can hear him screaming thru the whole building like he gets tortured and when i open the door again he gives this sweet little meow like nothing happened.
My calico usually ignores cat videos, but she was very concerned during Mila's bath! I was watching on my TV and she kept going from speaker to speaker!
