I love Rocky so much!! He's simply adorable! Thank you so much for updating us on his growth! I can't wait till we see him again after he's been neutered! He certainly seems very small and sweet for his age! I really love your painting of him as well. It oddly gives off cosy Scandinavian winter vibes and I love it!
three years ago, I heard meowing coming from my neighbors car, and I begged my boyfriend to investigate. An hour later, he finally fished out this tiny kitten. He was severely burned all over his body, including his face. I rushed to three vets offices to get care for him, I raised him for two years, loved him with every bit of my soul. More than my other cats, because I had healed him from the brink of death. he even had a little cleft lip like my boyfriend from the scars One day I woke up, and he was just dead on my living room floor. It still haunts me. I literally screamed, cried on the floor where he died for a week straight. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t eat I couldn’t think. I have dreams of finding him alive, apparently he had a UTI blockage and died in the middle of the night. I miss you so much turbo( He was found on the turbo of the car)
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I can't even imagine going through what you felt that morning. I think it's beautiful that you have this love for this kitten. Not a lot are going to be remembered the way Turbo is going to be. I'm sure Turbo is overwhelmingly grateful you took him in and loved him for what time he had left.
I know what kind of pain and grief you have gone through. My cat had his second UTI blockage and died in Feb this year. I'm still finding it hard to look at photos of him. It's on my mind almost every day that if I had caught it early he could have been okay but I feel so much guilt. No one around me seems to understand how hard it has been. I have trouble sleeping without a big cat leaning against my leg every night.
You all are awesome. Random tip: If you can't get a small kitten out of an area (under a car hood, hiding), youtube 'mom cat calling kittens' or something and play it on your phone or a bluetooth spearker. Worked for my friend with a small kitten that wouldn't come out from under the hood of his car and it also worked for me when three kittens were hiding under a car that was parked on my property. It's kinda sad in a way to see but they'll usually poke their heads out and move toward the meowing. If you're going to catch them be prepared since kittens are fast and have sharp teeth and claws.
I think he’s a medium hair cat. I have two medium hair cats and they were sleek when they were young and then fluffed up as they grew. They also have ear tufts like his. They were born to a feral cat that didn’t want her kittens, so we raised them and kept two.
8:44 With the dark background and the angle of the light source, it looks like the light source would be a warm crackling fire in a fireplace that's just on the other side of the room. Then you dropped the trees in and it became a campfire, instead of a fireplace fire. Cool
Rocky is cute. I had a small black kitten run up my leg at a store. He was 1 pound at his first vet visit and we thought he was going be a little guy, but Bandit grew to be and sleek 26-pound cat. He looked like a miniature panther, the best cat I ever had.
I finally figured out what breed my cat is because of you. Thank you. Our 3 cats we've had for half my life (I'm 28), the last one died at 16, 1 and a half years ago. This stray cat, Oliver, came into our lives out of nowhere like 1 month after and we've only had him for a little over a year. Since he was a stray, we knew nothing about him. Best guess, he was about 10 months and is now about 2 years old. We could not figure out his breed. Then I just looked up "Norwegian Forest Cat" (cause you mentioned it) and the pics look just like him, like every thing: Black fur on his back and top of his head, white fur on his front and face, a lot of hair coming out of his ears, very long fur including a really fluffy tail. Wowsa! He's also got a little sister who is 1 and a half years who we got from the Humane Society. She is like half his size just because that's the breed she is. They get along great. It did take Oliver longer to get comfortable in our house than Ivy (small cat). Don't fret about Rocky's size. Some cats are just tiny. If he's happy and healthy, I wouldn't worry about it.
i love rocky- he's so trusting of you now. he was so scared and possibly feral like you said, now he lets you pick him up and do whatever. that's so awesome
What an adorable little kitten. Glad to see he’s doing well. Also great painting and thank you for explaining the different color tones and your intent with using them as you go. If you ever get around to painting an eastern box turtle for some reason I’ll treat that video like a paint-along tutorial, this one was tempting!
Hurricane Milton left a week old trailer park kitten in our yard, poor thing. We named him Babette, before we knew he was a boy, but Babs can’t speak English so 🤷♂️
Okay, I love the painting. The colors blend so well together and I really liked the change in background, it really pulled the whole thing together! Also Rocky is so adorable I'm so glad he's doing well
Wow this is genuinely so interactive and helpful as an art video. I came for Rocky but stayed for the Rocky/art tute combo! Thank you so much, I learned a lot :))
Love watching you sketch. I get a lovely animal friend story and I learn tips and tricks to improve my own art. I recently attempted to illustrate a cat in a pumpkin. I used some of the techniques I've seen you do, such as placing down blobs of color first and then drawing in pen on top and then using white to draw fur details and whiskers. It came out so much better than I expected!
The lighting turned out perfect for the campfire setting! You said you dont do lighting often but it looks ✨️effortless✨️ also Rocky looks just like Hunter....
I rescue feral cats, I started using the talking buttons and it's really got the cats that I hardly every see coming out. They don't wanna push them,but when I push pet and me they come running now.
thanks for the update on this little cutie ❤so happy to hear he's doing much better! The cat I had in high school also fell out of a car and had the same injury on his chin like Rocky. Also amazing painting!
could we maybe see your barn one day? i’m in architecture and i just love looking at different buildings lol, especially things like barns and stables and one story houses.
My Loki is an orange short hair. He also has a squeaky eye. That's what we called it since he was a kitten. He's now going on 8yo, and it's never affected him. He just blinks a bit more or after blinks that side is slower to fully open. It's never been an issue, and I hope the same goes for Rocky. The painting turned out well. I thought you were going for a blanket, but you turned it into a neat christmas sweater. Nice detail.
He looks a lot like my fat son named Chubbs when he was a kitten, he’s a stray that looks a lot like a Norwegian forest cat and at about 4 years old now he’s 20 pounds( not overweight, surprisingly) and a yard long so good luck with Rocky
Awwww, Rocky is adorable! ❤ That lil guy got so lucky getting a home that cares so much about him, instead of being left alone and scared. 🥺🩷 Your painting of him is also super cute!! It gives major cozy vibes and I love the cute sweater and its pattern. I think you also did amazing on the lighting! I would love to see you do more painting sometime! ✨️
We rescued a kitten about a month ago too! We were driving back from a nature reserve in the middle of nowhere basically and even though it was a 100kmh road I still managed to spot this little black and white kitten on the side of the road. We stopped and tried to catch it but no luck. Came back two days later with a possum trap and tuna. The kitten had been living in a drain pipe that stopped the dirt road from eroding. We caught it and brought it home, that's when we found that it was a girl and very loving and friendly. She was skin and bone, could feel every bone, tendon and ligament. I could even touch my fingers together through her thigh. We named her Piper because she was living in a pipe and now has put on weight, enough so that she now weighs enough that we can get her desexed :) She is black and white with a Monopoly Man level white moustache. She has ear tassels too (not as cool as Rocky's though) along with snow shoes like my other long hair had as a kitten so we think she is going to have long hair. We think she was dumped because she was way too friendly to be a feral, we got her home and she was purring, meowing and rubbing against us for pats. She was extremely far away from residential areas to be a lost kitten (plus where she was was a lookout that was super easy to drive in and out of, and she would have had to cross a large river to get there). We also go out there every week and have never seen cats out there and then one week there is suddenly a 2-3 month old kitten eating roadkill. She is my 2 year old daughter's cat now, she follows m daughter everywhere and they sleep together. She is the fifth of my seven cats we have rescued, three we found (Piper and Sunny both being kittens, Piper in the pipe and Sunny in our garden at only four weeks old. While Fatty just showed up horribly injured and then never left) and two I rescued from someone about to dump them on the side of the road as kittens. The other two we either got for free from someone and the other from the RSPCA. Going to need a larger property at the rate we keep finding lost and abandoned cats XD So glad you guys found Rocky, he seems to be thriving with you! I can relate to being worried about them dying, the brothers about to be dumped I saved were sick and in awful condition and only 5 weeks old. Had liquid poop for weeks. They are big boys now called Kovu and Theo, they just turned 6 and are the sweetest cats I have ever owned :) Your Rocky water colour is so cute! Wish I could do water colour like you :)
@@PigSticker-wm2tq To get an idea of just how thin she was, she is fluffy so visually it was hard to tell and being bony isn't always abnormal for kittens, we were also feeling for any injuries or ticks (we have paralysis ticks that can kill very quickly here). It didn't hurt her :)
For as long as I can remember, my mom has had a tendency to bring new animals home. Usually some kind of rescue or one we planned to foster (key word planned) and it could be tough, having so many dogs in one home at a time, but it was also a blessing. I got to raise puppies, I got to help mother dogs give birth, I got to see dogs who had become fearful and beaten down from abuse come out of their shell and begin trusting humans again. It's a beautiful way to live (even if you have to clean up a lot of shit, piss, and vomit) and getting to know the animals' personalities and likes and dislikes and all that is so fun. I love them 🥺💜
Rocky got so much better! His squinty eye is so cute 😂 I love watching these videos where you talk about the process of whatever you're painting or drawing, they are very relaxing
Rocky kinda looks like he came straight from Hunters womb
that mental image is horrifying
I was just thinking this! He looks just like him
we have fun here
This shit made my day😂
I bet he inherited the ability to control fire.
Hunter saying "he's dead" every time he's asked how Rocky is doing on stream does wonders for my anxiety
Stop snitching satan
I was confused by this video for that reason.
RIP that one kid he lost in the fire that he totally couldn't control with his mind
It gives me heart palpitations whenever he says that live stream. 🫀ฅ₍ᐢ ›̥̥̥ ༝ ‹̥̥̥ ᐢ₎

Say his name.
His name was Bandit because his fur was thinner around his eyes so it looked like he had a mask, among other reasons.
I think your lighting turned out really nice. The painting has a really pleasant cozy feel to it. Rocky is adorable!

I usually stick with acrylics cause watercolors scare me so I really enjoyed watching you paint. Glad Rocky is doing well 😁
hes adorable and so is that painting, put that on a shirt for me. ill buy that right up!
i love rocky- he's so trusting of you now. he was so scared and possibly feral like you said, now he lets you pick him up and do whatever. that's so awesome
Thx for saving him. Love the painting! Great job!
Thank you for giving this kitten a forever home ❤️
I love Rocky's scrungly faces!
This is a beautiful piece. Would ever consider selling prints of some of your art? I would love that rocky piece.
Me tooooo ❤
Rocky is so adorable with his white socks and long whiskers 🥹
your attention to detail really brings your paintings to the next level! and thanks for sharing a rocky update
Rocky would make a perfect kids storybook character! Love❤

Rocky is absolutely perfect.
That painting is adorable.
This is the quality content that I needed today.
the squinty eye makes Rocky look even more like Sylvester Stallone.
An absolutely adorable little guy and an incredible art piece. Great way to end the weekend. So happy to see Rocky is doing well!
He's like Thom Yorke! .... But a cat. (I'm referencing the eye thing btw...)
Rocky Yorke!
He looks so much better 🥰
Thank you for adopting and neutering him!
cred for having a spheal behind you
You nailed the lighting! holy crap!! Great work!!
I love seeing the way you develop your ideas! Thank you for the update as well, he certainly is a handsome boy♡ his ear tufts are too cute!
