Hey girl, I just wanted to tell you I just ordered the Equi Groomer and…… ITS INCREDIBLE!! My long hair chi is shedding and trying to rid of his winter coat and now he’s a soft majestic little man. I can’t believe how much hair it took off! Thank you so much! 10 out of 10 I freaking recommend!
I got one as well for my cat! He has a double coat of longer and shorter black fur followed by a downy layer of fluff that suffocates all pests and breaks all toothed combs- this tool has been a literal life saver as the dreaded shedding time is upon us lol
@JENNA omggg me too, i had a beautiful black and white baby boy cat called sparky for three days, on the second day my mum decided we had to take him back to there shelter because our first cat wouldn't stop beating him up and they'd pee all over the house... i miss him so much even though it was only three days, but the shelter lady told us he's been rehomed which is the nicest thing ever even though it's sad
My current cat is severely other cat aggressive which is how I got her since her original home had two other cats. She does fine with my small dog Rehoming a pet is always difficult but I'm glad I got my baby. They put her comfort and happiness first
I had a cat briefly who was terrified of men. She just couldn't deal with my husband existing in the same house as her. She ended up living out the rest of her days with my sister-in-law.
It's difficult to give up a pet,I had to leave my cat with my brother when I moved as I couldn't take her with me,but at least you still get to see this beautiful cat since she lives with your friend .
My mom asked her vet to trim her cats “murder mittens”. The vet loved the expression and asked if she could use it. My mom told the vet it wasn’t hers and that she got the expression from you. Oh and also “litter collectors”. My mom and the vet had a good laugh. Mom told her all about your channel and I’m sure they’ll all be watching you now. This cat it a beauty. 🥰🥰 Thanks for all your hard work and sharing it with us.

No, you are wrong... that was MY cat Aslan.............. pale blue eyes and you'd lose him in a blizzard. His idea was to cling to you while grooming, he figured it was less surface area for you to get at.

as an albino person, thank you for taking care of Macha's needs. My eyes are grey blue. Most albino people have blue or grey eyes, not red like albino animals. I honestly wish I had an albino cat, but I do have two tuxedo cats whom I adore.
@@inthewoods5494 Technically all albino animals (including humans) have blue eyes, caused by a lack of melanin. The red or pink color isn't the actual hue of the eyes, but the blood vessels behind the iris coming through more strongly than the weak amount of blue present.
@@gracev8762 This is a cat video, I like cats, hate dogs. I know this channel does dog videos too, but don't worry I don't watch those videos lol. Dogs are gross animals, some are so ugly its hard to look at them.
I had a similar situation happen with me, except I was the one receiving the cat. My step brother had a cat that was being abused by his kids who were toddlers. They were throwing toys at her, pulling on her tail, all the usual toddler shenanigans. And their mother, his ex, didn't really do much to stop them. It got to the point she started lashing out at them in self defense and she scratched the toddlers quite a few times. When she bit the younger one who hadn't even learned to walk yet, the ex wanted to have the cat euthanized. My step brother and step mother wasn't having it, since she gave the cat to my step brother as a Christmas gift as a kitten (she's 6 years old). So my step mother called me and asked if I could take her in since I live by myself and my other cats. I wasn't sure at first since she was really aggressive towards literally everybody. But I did agree to at least foster her for a bit and see if I could calm her down; if not, then I would find someone who could take care of her. It took a crap ton of scratches and a couple of bites, but now she's an absolute sweetheart. She still hisses and strikes me once in a while, but I chalk that up to her being a sassy one. I also think she might have some PTSD from the kids, but I'm able to handle these episodes very well.
@@Monika-mb6jh That entire incident is a prime example of bad parenting. Some kids can be very gentle with animals, but parents need to be watchful and, ya know, parent them.
@@itsasquid and its so dumb. When the animal starts to attack back the parents want to put the animal down even though its their fault in the 1st place
@@Monika-mb6jh Not always. My niece and nephew were never like that with their cat when they were babies. It's because my sister made it clear to them that hurting the cat was not going to be tolerated. If she caught them being mean to the cat, she either swatted their hands or put them into timeout. The cat was put down last year because she was a really old cat. My sister had her since we were little kids, so it was hard for the both of us. But they have a new cat, and they are old enough to know how to treat cats well. Even when they came to visit me, they were always gentle around my cats. It ultimately depends on how much freedom parents give their kids regarding how they behave. My step brothers ex is one of those individuals who think her kids are perfect angels when they aren't. While my sister is the parent who won't tolerate bad behavior from the kids. She can get defensive if other people say bad things about the kids, but she doesn't shelter them either.
i know i am weird, but i am a woman who was born with absolutely zero mothering emotions toward human offspring, and an extreme amount of doting gaga devoted admiration for cats. if i had to choose between a kitten and a human baby in a blizzard i would go with the cat every time. realistically, that's not going to happen, and i have excellent protective instincts where children are concerned, you can't hurt or threaten a child around me, i become fierce and will intervene and call the cops, of course. i still can't understand why anyone would want a human child, though the little urchins adore me foe some reason. my neighbor leaves her 5 year old son's toys out on the ground and i told her we have black widow spiders here, and she did nothing. i found the biggest black widow i have ever seen in one of his favorite toys. i like to think most moms would have listened to me about deadly spiders.
She reminds me of a fancier version of a cat my grandma had when I was a kid named Promise. She was a rough outdoor kitty, regularly fought with the young cats and her husband, a black cat named Smokey. He was a long hair and she was a shorthair. Her ears were basically nubs from fighting so much. But she was always gentle to us grandkids. I visited the most, and her and Smokey would watch me play outside and ride my bike up and down the driveway. Not sure what happened to either of them, but I’ll never forget them ❤️
So, that whole 'peeing outside of the litterbox' probably wasn't from spite. She was likely overwhelmed, unconfident, and scared. Cats that feel those ways tend to exhibit inappropriate territorial behaviors. I'm glad you got her a place to live that was more suitable for her needs.
Yess I agree. For someone who works with animals so much im surprised she thinks that behaviour is "just regular evil cat behaviour". Because a lot of destructive behaviour cats do is actually out of fear or aggression. Including the hiding
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Animals are not able to be 'mean'. She might have had trouble with her bladder, kidneys or maybe "just" behavioural problems because of bad environment and lack of socialisation with other animals. A cat behaviourist would tell her that.
She probably felt she had no territory cause of all the dogs so was over compensating marking her territory to try and feel safe and calm in the house. Almost like the cat felt like she didn’t belong there.
I can only imagine how hard it must have been to rehome her after 7 years, even though you knew it was the best thing for her. Good on you for finding her a home where she could be happy and live a good life.
I'm really glad you made this video. Because no matter how much you love an animal you should always do what's necessary for them to be happy! It's a persons responsibility as a pet parent and not enough people realise that.
Doing something for your pets that is the best you can for them, but causes you great pain - like re-homing them - has always been a mark of love, to me. I'm glad Matcha has experienced such love.
My roommate used to have an albino cat. Absolutely gorgeous but an absolute Chad as well. When he would go outside, he would never leave the yard and would throw down with any neighborhood cats that got too close to the yard. Little dude was all action and no posturing whatsoever. He would just go straight for a cat without any warning. He even tried going after a raccoon that got too close to the yard one night. Thankfully, I was able to grab him.
She's stunning. That coat is unbelievable. And 11?? That's an outstanding life span for an albino kitty. You and your friend have done a fabulous job of keeping her happy and healthy.
Medical issues and stress definitely result in abnormal behavior, such as peeing out of the litterbox. I'm pleased Matcha is no longer stressed (and healthy?) and living a pleasant life in the right home.
Such a beauty. I can see why you still tried to make it work for 7 years. I think she loves you but just couldn't handle the noise from your house. I'm glad your friend is giving her the love and attention she needs.
i was so confused when she said albino because my cats all white and I've been told shes a persian but when she mentioned the eye color I was like oooo. this may be a really dumb question but I wonder if the gene for white hair and albino is the same for cats because phenotypically its just all white fur.
I’m so glad that you were able to find her a good home with someone you trust. She is a beautiful cat and I’m sure she appreciates being the queen of her new home.
I had an albino cat just like her. 16 years I had her, she passed early this year. She had the light blue eyes with a soft pink tint in them and very fluffy fur!
@@lindapatterson9527Albino horses cannot exist. Genetically impossible. You probably had a leuistic horse. All "albino" horses die via stillbirth or shortly after being born. Fun fact kinda
It takes a lot of character to know when your animal would thrive better with a different family situation. I commend you for your efforts within those seven years 💙
I used to have a long hair cat who LOVED being bathed! LOVED BATHS! He would remain in the tub, as long as it took. He never HATED water, loved the shampoo and the dry off. e loved being brushed. Only getting his nails cut was an issue.
She’s such a good girl. Must be hard to have to let her go in order to be happy. I was in this position before and it broke my heart, but see my cat happy was more important 🥲
Beautiful! I had to re-home my mom's 17 yr old Maine Coon cat for that same reason. I took him in when my mother passed and he did not like sharing the spotlight with my kitty. He was spraying on items in the house. My girlfriend took him and they spent 3 glorious years together before he passed.
It breaks my heart that you had to rehome her. But I can see that it was best for everyone, and she appears to be thriving. She’s such a beautiful cat. Even tho she doesn’t like all of the groom, I can tell how much she loves you.
My cat got diagnosed with a severe heart murmur and we think she's been having strokes, ive had her since I was 17 and being 30 now that means Roxie was with me during the most important hurdles and stepping stones of life, I also have a dog as well as a full time job meaning I can't be home with her as she ages and faces health problems and my dog seemed to be starting to stress her out and noticed Roxies condition worsening, it was a devastating decision to make but me and my Mom decided Roxie should live out the last of her life with Mom as Mom is retired and lives alone in her quiet peaceful home. I go over 1 minimum times a week to clean (my Mom is disabled) so I will still see Rox very often but it's that I can't shake the feeling that I abandoned her while she's sick and probably wants her owner more than ever It's only been 3 days since so I'm hoping as time goes on I'll be able to better come to terms with it
I hope youre doing better now! Im sorry bout your kitty but you seem to really love her and im sure she understands that whatever you do its out of love
My late cat BLUE had a white coat, blue eyes, and ginger points; was told he was a Flame point Siamese. Thirty years on, I still miss him … and my two small dogs.
After struggling for years to brush my cat, I finally got the Eqigroomer after seeing how well it worked on your videos. Baghura, who has always avidly abhorred being brushed, but has to be to keep away the evil matts, literally just sits there when I use the Eqigroomer on him.
Willow J Wolfe I must get an Eqigroomer. I have two cats, one long hair who hates brushing but gets matted very easily. This sounds like something I could at least try..
Such a truly gorgeous kitty! Thinking back, I don't think I can remember any of the cats you've groomed not liking the blow-dryer. Most of them have looked like they enjoyed it :)
I have a cat that was born without eyes. Watching you trim Macha's bach hairs reminded me of mine's absolute disdain for anything touching below her tail. She's super sweet and affectionate until it comes to absolutely any grooming of her behind. Her hisses are these super soft barely audible puffs of air but she makes up for it with a loud warning growl.
Rehoming a pet is not usually what is best for your pet. It's often what's most convenient for the owner. Pets go through terrible stress and often shut down when they loose their home. Vanessa was able to rehome her cat with a friend she trusts and keep ties with her pet. In this case it was a good move.
"All I have to do is wave a bag of Temptations" Gee, my cats also pass the same hearing test. Heck, they can also hear me take down one of their favorite toys as well. Makes me wonder how good their hearing really is.
She’s beautiful, I almost cried when you explained that you had to let her go for her own sake. That’s the kindest thing you could have done and true selflessness. Good for you.
What an amazing beautiful cat! She's absolutely stunning. I know the decision to rehome her was tough, but she definitely looks to be the right choice for her. Thank you for sharing her story and bringing us along for the little reunion.
Just a small correction - cats don’t pee out of spite, animals don’t make that connection between actions and are not vindictive etc. They pee because of stress and discomfort, fear etc. Just like dogs. Ps I love you!!
I actually had a cat that shit in my step parebrs's pants on two different occasions after my step parent pissed him off. It's the only times the cat ever did this and he waited for that man to go into the shower to do so. edit: he is the only cat I've had thats ever done this level stuff. My sweet girl when she was a kitten used to wait to make eye contact with you if you were ignoring her and just slowly push things like a glass of water off the table while maintaining eye contact.
@@seregiel9541 that is not a display of anger. Cats eliminate "publicly" (ie, don't cover or hid their waste) to demonstrate that the area is part of their territory. The cat was asserting a boundary.
@@AgentLane13 Yeah, I get that they don't correlate as a 1:1 human emotions. The assertion of that boundary as a response is a demonstration of power dynamics. That said, I was refuting it was only for scared, stress, and discomfort which was your original comment.
I did the same, we got a kitten that needed a lot of attention and would pee everywhere out of jealousy. So I gave her to my friend that needs an energetic pet and they are both happy.
It is NOT jealousy, that cat was afraid of their environment. People need to stop associating human emotions to animal actions. Cats pee everywhere to settle their worry when they are scared in their environment
@@starsantheoriginal we had the kitty for couple of months (She already was about 6 months old) At first she got on well with the other cat (adult), we got them together. Then she started to be needier. We didn't allow them in the bedroom and sure enough, every morning there was pee on the doorstep. She started fighting with the other cat pretty roughly and often. We figured they are both dominant, so we gave the kitty to my friend that likes the neediness and can keep up. The cat is happy now and never pees on anything.
@@EGGrun was she fixed? Were any of the cats in the house fixed? Pheromones and hormones and territory play a key role in a lot of this. Two unfixed females that are adults usually have a hard time getting along. Most unfixed cats have a very hard time getting along with other cats. Because their hormones and instincts drive a lot of what they do
Yes almost certainly from stress in this case... But I have seem many cats use peeing as a revenge tool ;) Like my male Bengal cat that did pee on moms computer after I had been working on it all the day for several days and he got jealous and angry at it, he is a cat that easily get jealous. I must be very careful to also give him attention and love if he see me cuddling my other cat a female Bengal cat that is his girlfriend (she is not a cuddly cat, more of a ice queen that tolerate a little cuddly attention sometimes ;)
This sounds like stress. Especially if it was a covered litter box. Covered litter boxes can feel too threatening to a stressed and anxious cat. They feel like the can't get away/trapped and since they feel endangered under the cover, they pee just outside it instead. They want to use it, but don't feel safe enough.
Absolitely stunning kitty ! She reminds me fondly of my 2 childhood cats which were also albino. They were litter mates, and both were snow white with pale blue eyes. Being part Siamese they were very vocal , often sounding nearly human ! Watching Matcha today brought back the fondest of memories.
Rehoming her must have been so difficult, and I’m so impressed with you for making that decision. It really does show that you are an incredible human even when the camera isn’t on. Please ask Macha’s mom to tell her we love her.
Matcha’s story reminds me of my calico, Lilo. When I lived with my mom we adopted 2 calico sisters. My mom had 2 dogs at the time. The first sister, Luna was very social and didn’t mind sitting with the dogs, but her sister Lilo would always get chased or barked at by the dogs. She would spend all day hiding and only come out when I was home as we had built a strong bond. Loud noises and sudden movements scared her. When I moved out and took the cats with me I noticed Lilo open up a lot more with other people and she is much happier!
I had a white cat when I was young. She looked exactly like her mother (who belonged to my aunt). Same build, pure white coat, pink skin, and green eyes with a hint of gold. Mother cat had perfect hearing. Her daughter was born completely deaf. Eye color and albinism doesn't necessarily tell you if the cat will be deaf. The white coat tells you it's possible. From there, you just have to pay close attention and experiment to find out how that genetic coin flip went.
Something about cats named after foods and beverages is so comical to me. My cat pictured in my profile pic is Pumpkin 😅 Matcha is a very beautiful cat and seems so sweet.
Please note that cats will not pee outside the litter box out of spite or protest. They do that when they are extremely stressed or have problems and pain associated with their litter box... For example arthritis, Phantom pains from declawing or bladder and kidney stones
Thank you for sharing your story. I too had to rehome a pet once. Nothing is wrong with rehoming! People have got to stop bashing one another for it. It’s worse to refuse a proper home for a pet, just to avoid rehoming. Wish the world would drop its stigma against it.

I had a similar situation happen with me, except I was the one receiving the cat. My step brother had a cat that was being abused by his kids who were toddlers. They were throwing toys at her, pulling on her tail, all the usual toddler shenanigans. And their mother, his ex, didn't really do much to stop them. It got to the point she started lashing out at them in self defense and she scratched the toddlers quite a few times. When she bit the younger one who hadn't even learned to walk yet, the ex wanted to have the cat euthanized. My step brother and step mother wasn't having it, since she gave the cat to my step brother as a Christmas gift as a kitten (she's 6 years old). So my step mother called me and asked if I could take her in since I live by myself and my other cats. I wasn't sure at first since she was really aggressive towards literally everybody. But I did agree to at least foster her for a bit and see if I could calm her down; if not, then I would find someone who could take care of her. It took a crap ton of scratches and a couple of bites, but now she's an absolute sweetheart. She still hisses and strikes me once in a while, but I chalk that up to her being a sassy one. I also think she might have some PTSD from the kids, but I'm able to handle these episodes very well.
That’s so sad she was traumatized so much by children after being in a loving home so long 😠 human offspring are the worst
@@Monika-mb6jh That entire incident is a prime example of bad parenting. Some kids can be very gentle with animals, but parents need to be watchful and, ya know, parent them.
@@itsasquid and its so dumb. When the animal starts to attack back the parents want to put the animal down even though its their fault in the 1st place
@@Monika-mb6jh Not always. My niece and nephew were never like that with their cat when they were babies. It's because my sister made it clear to them that hurting the cat was not going to be tolerated. If she caught them being mean to the cat, she either swatted their hands or put them into timeout. The cat was put down last year because she was a really old cat. My sister had her since we were little kids, so it was hard for the both of us. But they have a new cat, and they are old enough to know how to treat cats well. Even when they came to visit me, they were always gentle around my cats.
It ultimately depends on how much freedom parents give their kids regarding how they behave. My step brothers ex is one of those individuals who think her kids are perfect angels when they aren't. While my sister is the parent who won't tolerate bad behavior from the kids. She can get defensive if other people say bad things about the kids, but she doesn't shelter them either.
i know i am weird, but i am a woman who was born with absolutely zero mothering emotions toward human offspring, and an extreme amount of doting gaga devoted admiration for cats. if i had to choose between a kitten and a human baby in a blizzard i would go with the cat every time. realistically, that's not going to happen, and i have excellent protective instincts where children are concerned, you can't hurt or threaten a child around me, i become fierce and will intervene and call the cops, of course. i still can't understand why anyone would want a human child, though the little urchins adore me foe some reason. my neighbor leaves her 5 year old son's toys out on the ground and i told her we have black widow spiders here, and she did nothing. i found the biggest black widow i have ever seen in one of his favorite toys. i like to think most moms would have listened to me about deadly spiders.
She reminds me of a fancier version of a cat my grandma had when I was a kid named Promise. She was a rough outdoor kitty, regularly fought with the young cats and her husband, a black cat named Smokey. He was a long hair and she was a shorthair. Her ears were basically nubs from fighting so much. But she was always gentle to us grandkids. I visited the most, and her and Smokey would watch me play outside and ride my bike up and down the driveway. Not sure what happened to either of them, but I’ll never forget them ❤️
She's a beautiful snowflake ❤️

So, that whole 'peeing outside of the litterbox' probably wasn't from spite. She was likely overwhelmed, unconfident, and scared. Cats that feel those ways tend to exhibit inappropriate territorial behaviors. I'm glad you got her a place to live that was more suitable for her needs.
Yess I agree. For someone who works with animals so much im surprised she thinks that behaviour is "just regular evil cat behaviour". Because a lot of destructive behaviour cats do is actually out of fear or aggression. Including the hiding
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Animals are not able to be 'mean'. She might have had trouble with her bladder, kidneys or maybe "just" behavioural problems because of bad environment and lack of socialisation with other animals. A cat behaviourist would tell her that.
I dunno, the fact that it went on for 7 years, does not sit well with me.
She probably felt she had no territory cause of all the dogs so was over compensating marking her territory to try and feel safe and calm in the house. Almost like the cat felt like she didn’t belong there.
Sheesh you guys take things too seriously! The "out of spite" thing was clearly a joke 🤭
Woah, how is that awesome astronaut helmet humiliating? She’s the cutest space cadet I’ve ever seen!
I can only imagine how hard it must have been to rehome her after 7 years, even though you knew it was the best thing for her. Good on you for finding her a home where she could be happy and live a good life.
Gorgeous cat. Anyways so cute. Always cut the murder mittens!
p o g g d o g g - That's what my hubby calls them now...he said "That's *the* perfect description of those skin-shredders!" 😂
@@CynAnne1 Sure is!
@@CynAnne1 skin shredders is pretty good in its own right. lol
my favourite part of seeing you groom cats is when you unveil the toe beans, so cute!
I'm really glad you made this video. Because no matter how much you love an animal you should always do what's necessary for them to be happy! It's a persons responsibility as a pet parent and not enough people realise that.
That must have been so hard to give her up. You are an amazing pet parent
Doing something for your pets that is the best you can for them, but causes you great pain - like re-homing them - has always been a mark of love, to me.
I'm glad Matcha has experienced such love.
She is stunning. We had a cat just like her. He was gorgeous as well.
long haired cats are so freaking pretty
did you see her little pink beans on her paws? so freaking cute. 🤣
One could say it wasn’t a matcha made in heaven 😉
She’s beautiful and I’m happy to hear she has a loving home
Purrfect pun!
My roommate used to have an albino cat. Absolutely gorgeous but an absolute Chad as well. When he would go outside, he would never leave the yard and would throw down with any neighborhood cats that got too close to the yard. Little dude was all action and no posturing whatsoever. He would just go straight for a cat without any warning. He even tried going after a raccoon that got too close to the yard one night. Thankfully, I was able to grab him.
An absolute Chad, lol!
What a beautiful cat!! You're so lucky to groom her, im sure it felt good for you to see her again 💙
Must be so awesome to see Matcha again and to see her happy and well taken care of
They say humans become like their pets and you have developed reflexes like a cat 👌🏻
Did she also develop the habit of peeing everywhere
She has german shepherds, she doesnt have a cat
@@GodisMyNo1 0:24
@@GodisMyNo1 Well she literally just said she had Matcha for 7 years-
@@GodisMyNo1 not to be rude but didnt u watch the video at 24?
She's stunning. That coat is unbelievable. And 11?? That's an outstanding life span for an albino kitty. You and your friend have done a fabulous job of keeping her happy and healthy.
she is beyond gorgeous! Well done for rehoming her for her own comfort and well being. It must have been difficult to give her up.
Medical issues and stress definitely result in abnormal behavior, such as peeing out of the litterbox.
I'm pleased Matcha is no longer stressed (and healthy?) and living a pleasant life in the right home.
I'm jealous of how still the cats are when you trim their nails. Ours always turns into squirmy jello when we trim hers.
they know she's got the grip and the right angle to get the job done quick, easy and painless (for all involved in shaving down the Murder Mittens)
Such a beauty.
I can see why you still tried to make it work for 7 years.
I think she loves you but just couldn't handle the noise from your house.
I'm glad your friend is giving her the love and attention she needs.
Fascinating. I have never seen an albino cat. She's beautiful
I didn't realize they could have blue eyes and still be albino
@@dragonsember It's like albino horses I think. Most albino horses have blue eyes. Not to be mistaken with leucistic "white" horses
She looks like Falkor from the Neverending Story.
@@Woozlewuzzleable i haven't watched it but i know exactly what you're talking about and you're right
i was so confused when she said albino because my cats all white and I've been told shes a persian but when she mentioned the eye color I was like oooo. this may be a really dumb question but I wonder if the gene for white hair and albino is the same for cats because phenotypically its just all white fur.
I’m so glad that you were able to find her a good home with someone you trust. She is a beautiful cat and I’m sure she appreciates being the queen of her new home.
You put her in the Angry Dome and I just can’t 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I had an albino cat just like her. 16 years I had her, she passed early this year. She had the light blue eyes with a soft pink tint in them and very fluffy fur!
im sorry for your loss :(
My condolences. Cherish those memories and remember your feline friend fondly.
when I was a child , we had an albino horse, if you looked at her in her stall at night with a flashlight her eyes were red like an albino rabbit.
@@lindapatterson9527Albino horses cannot exist. Genetically impossible. You probably had a leuistic horse. All "albino" horses die via stillbirth or shortly after being born. Fun fact kinda
It takes a lot of character to know when your animal would thrive better with a different family situation. I commend you for your efforts within those seven years 💙
I used to have a long hair cat who LOVED being bathed! LOVED BATHS! He would remain in the tub, as long as it took. He never HATED water, loved the shampoo and the dry off. e loved being brushed. Only getting his nails cut was an issue.
She’s such a good girl. Must be hard to have to let her go in order to be happy. I was in this position before and it broke my heart, but see my cat happy was more important 🥲
She's such a gorgeous lady.
I love the titles of the videos, they are hilarious!
Beautiful! I had to re-home my mom's 17 yr old Maine Coon cat for that same reason. I took him in when my mother passed and he did not like sharing the spotlight with my kitty. He was spraying on items in the house. My girlfriend took him and they spent 3 glorious years together before he passed.
It's the hamster helmet of humility.😉
Very sweet
It breaks my heart that you had to rehome her. But I can see that it was best for everyone, and she appears to be thriving. She’s such a beautiful cat. Even tho she doesn’t like all of the groom, I can tell how much she loves you.
My cat got diagnosed with a severe heart murmur and we think she's been having strokes, ive had her since I was 17 and being 30 now that means Roxie was with me during the most important hurdles and stepping stones of life, I also have a dog as well as a full time job meaning I can't be home with her as she ages and faces health problems and my dog seemed to be starting to stress her out and noticed Roxies condition worsening, it was a devastating decision to make but me and my Mom decided Roxie should live out the last of her life with Mom as Mom is retired and lives alone in her quiet peaceful home. I go over 1 minimum times a week to clean (my Mom is disabled) so I will still see Rox very often but it's that I can't shake the feeling that I abandoned her while she's sick and probably wants her owner more than ever
It's only been 3 days since so I'm hoping as time goes on I'll be able to better come to terms with it
I hope youre doing better now! Im sorry bout your kitty but you seem to really love her and im sure she understands that whatever you do its out of love
not the helmet of humiliation- she looks so cute though!
Hope you enjoyed the time reuniting with you're kitty again after these years
My late cat BLUE had a white coat, blue eyes, and ginger points; was told he was a Flame point Siamese. Thirty years on, I still miss him … and my two small dogs.
After struggling for years to brush my cat, I finally got the Eqigroomer after seeing how well it worked on your videos. Baghura, who has always avidly abhorred being brushed, but has to be to keep away the evil matts, literally just sits there when I use the Eqigroomer on him.
Willow J Wolfe I must get an Eqigroomer. I have two cats, one long hair who hates brushing but gets matted very easily. This sounds like something I could at least try..
Such a truly gorgeous kitty! Thinking back, I don't think I can remember any of the cats you've groomed not liking the blow-dryer. Most of them have looked like they enjoyed it :)
Cats LOVE warmth....even more than they dislike loud noises.
oh she's GORGEOUS. i'm glad she got a home that worked with her!
I have a cat that was born without eyes. Watching you trim Macha's bach hairs reminded me of mine's absolute disdain for anything touching below her tail. She's super sweet and affectionate until it comes to absolutely any grooming of her behind. Her hisses are these super soft barely audible puffs of air but she makes up for it with a loud warning growl.
She really is so gorgeous, that cat looks so much prettier than me lol
Its fair to admit that most cats look better than us ! But Matcha is really GORGEOUS
@@ink3539 I agree
Deciding what is best for your pet, even If it isn't you, is the biggest act of love you can give them. ❤️❤️❤️
Rehoming a pet is not usually what is best for your pet. It's often what's most convenient for the owner. Pets go through terrible stress and often shut down when they loose their home. Vanessa was able to rehome her cat with a friend she trusts and keep ties with her pet. In this case it was a good move.
@@elliottross3691they didn't say rehoming was best for cats though 😂
my little boy (the human one) has eyes like that. flaming red hair and eyes so pale blue sometimes I swear you can see through them. gorgeous.
😍😍✨
It was thoughtful of you to consider the cat's feelings and place her where she would be happiest, based on her personality.
What a lovely fluff ball. Thank you for sharing the lovely Macha. Happy to hear she is as soft as she looks. :)
It was very unselfish of you to give her away to a new and better home .❤👍
"All I have to do is wave a bag of Temptations"
Gee, my cats also pass the same hearing test. Heck, they can also hear me take down one of their favorite toys as well. Makes me wonder how good their hearing really is.
You’re confidence and gift for your profession is definitely calming to your fur clients ! 🤗
She looks downright *eerily* similar to my boy King, even him being a blue eyed white cat that can hear. So beautiful and sweet.
Such a well behaved kitty. 😻
She definitely a stunner 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
She’s beautiful, I almost cried when you explained that you had to let her go for her own sake. That’s the kindest thing you could have done and true selflessness. Good for you.
It's sad to let a pet go, but you can take comfort in the fact that she has a great new home.
I love the murder mittens. Great and accurate description for the claws.
My parents got an albino kitten once when their cat had babies. He was deaf so he was the only one not scared of the vacuum cleaner 😂
She is SOOOO Beautiful!!!! I have my equigroomer arriving today and i'm so excited!!
I love the name matcha, such a pretty kitty!
It's a happy Hoodie cuz it makes those who watchthe animal in it super happy. I loooove seeing them in happy hoodies
That’s nice to say
How’s your day going today my friend?
What an amazing beautiful cat! She's absolutely stunning. I know the decision to rehome her was tough, but she definitely looks to be the right choice for her.
Thank you for sharing her story and bringing us along for the little reunion.
Just a small correction - cats don’t pee out of spite, animals don’t make that connection between actions and are not vindictive etc. They pee because of stress and discomfort, fear etc. Just like dogs. Ps I love you!!
Pretty sure it was a joke
I actually had a cat that shit in my step parebrs's pants on two different occasions after my step parent pissed him off. It's the only times the cat ever did this and he waited for that man to go into the shower to do so.
edit: he is the only cat I've had thats ever done this level stuff. My sweet girl when she was a kitten used to wait to make eye contact with you if you were ignoring her and just slowly push things like a glass of water off the table while maintaining eye contact.
@@seregiel9541 that is not a display of anger. Cats eliminate "publicly" (ie, don't cover or hid their waste) to demonstrate that the area is part of their territory. The cat was asserting a boundary.
My cat has learned to pee on stuff when he wants to go outside because my mom put him outside when he peed on stuff
@@AgentLane13 Yeah, I get that they don't correlate as a 1:1 human emotions. The assertion of that boundary as a response is a demonstration of power dynamics. That said, I was refuting it was only for scared, stress, and discomfort which was your original comment.
2:52 that little hiss 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I did the same, we got a kitten that needed a lot of attention and would pee everywhere out of jealousy. So I gave her to my friend that needs an energetic pet and they are both happy.
That's great!
It is NOT jealousy, that cat was afraid of their environment. People need to stop associating human emotions to animal actions. Cats pee everywhere to settle their worry when they are scared in their environment
@@starsantheoriginal we had the kitty for couple of months (She already was about 6 months old) At first she got on well with the other cat (adult), we got them together. Then she started to be needier. We didn't allow them in the bedroom and sure enough, every morning there was pee on the doorstep. She started fighting with the other cat pretty roughly and often. We figured they are both dominant, so we gave the kitty to my friend that likes the neediness and can keep up. The cat is happy now and never pees on anything.
@@starsantheoriginal but yes, maybe it was not jealousy, maybe it was a dominance thing.
@@EGGrun was she fixed? Were any of the cats in the house fixed? Pheromones and hormones and territory play a key role in a lot of this. Two unfixed females that are adults usually have a hard time getting along. Most unfixed cats have a very hard time getting along with other cats. Because their hormones and instincts drive a lot of what they do
I don’t think she peed everywhere out of spite, it was likely stress.
Yes almost certainly from stress in this case... But I have seem many cats use peeing as a revenge tool ;) Like my male Bengal cat that did pee on moms computer after I had been working on it all the day for several days and he got jealous and angry at it, he is a cat that easily get jealous. I must be very careful to also give him attention and love if he see me cuddling my other cat a female Bengal cat that is his girlfriend (she is not a cuddly cat, more of a ice queen that tolerate a little cuddly attention sometimes ;)
Y'all wouldn't know sarcasm if it slapped you upside the head
DrunkenRobot y’all🙄🤣🤣 yea ok, we get her sarcasm, but it really didn’t come off that way with this comment.
Or a territorial thing, especially with dogs about.. They could just be going "get the hell out of my area!!"
This sounds like stress. Especially if it was a covered litter box. Covered litter boxes can feel too threatening to a stressed and anxious cat. They feel like the can't get away/trapped and since they feel endangered under the cover, they pee just outside it instead. They want to use it, but don't feel safe enough.
Absolitely stunning kitty ! She reminds me fondly of my 2 childhood cats which were also albino. They were litter mates, and both were snow white with pale blue eyes. Being part Siamese they were very vocal , often sounding nearly human ! Watching Matcha today brought back the fondest of memories.
You’re right
How’s your day going today my friend?
Rehoming her must have been so difficult, and I’m so impressed with you for making that decision. It really does show that you are an incredible human even when the camera isn’t on.
Please ask Macha’s mom to tell her we love her.
Matcha’s story reminds me of my calico, Lilo. When I lived with my mom we adopted 2 calico sisters. My mom had 2 dogs at the time. The first sister, Luna was very social and didn’t mind sitting with the dogs, but her sister Lilo would always get chased or barked at by the dogs. She would spend all day hiding and only come out when I was home as we had built a strong bond. Loud noises and sudden movements scared her. When I moved out and took the cats with me I noticed Lilo open up a lot more with other people and she is much happier!
What a beauty! I’m glad you got to give some love to Matcha again. I don’t know if I could give her up after 7 years.
The floor mountain with her little space helmet on just molt my heart🥰
I had a white cat when I was young. She looked exactly like her mother (who belonged to my aunt). Same build, pure white coat, pink skin, and green eyes with a hint of gold. Mother cat had perfect hearing. Her daughter was born completely deaf.
Eye color and albinism doesn't necessarily tell you if the cat will be deaf. The white coat tells you it's possible. From there, you just have to pay close attention and experiment to find out how that genetic coin flip went.
She's a beautiful girl . I know it was hard to re-home her but she's doing great and happy.
Something about cats named after foods and beverages is so comical to me. My cat pictured in my profile pic is Pumpkin 😅
Matcha is a very beautiful cat and seems so sweet.
Omg pumpkin is so cute please scratch him/her behind the ears for me and tell him/her that she/he is a good boy or girl
@@myahl8742 😅he’s currently kneading some biscuits next to me being a very good boy. It’s his post dinner routine 😂
Please note that cats will not pee outside the litter box out of spite or protest.
They do that when they are extremely stressed or have problems and pain associated with their litter box... For example arthritis, Phantom pains from declawing or bladder and kidney stones
I really appreciate your kindness to animals. You always work to make them feel more comfortable. Thanks!!
Her coat is beyond gorgeous it shines it's so white, I'm glad she's happier now❤️
Aww macha’s so cute!
A question: has a cat ever jumped out of the tub and ran everywhere?
Stunning cat! She's as lovely as she is beautiful. Thank you for loving her enough to rehome her, your friend obviously takes very good care of her.
Thank you for sharing your story. I too had to rehome a pet once. Nothing is wrong with rehoming! People have got to stop bashing one another for it. It’s worse to refuse a proper home for a pet, just to avoid rehoming. Wish the world would drop its stigma against it.
