I was a dog man my whole life....until I had kids. Now im all about my cat shes self reliant, low maintnance, and kills rodents. I didnt claim her, she claimed me . Now we are broskis and she follows me on my outdoor adventures and sleeps on my legs. Nice review pete.
I grew up with a cat that found us. Literally turned up at our door and never left. Would leave us gifts -- internal organs off mice etc. Great with kids
I am more of a dog person but likes cats too. They r more independent but dogs r loyal, but requires daily walking. I am not sure yet maybe I’ll change my mind later on in life lol. Just deciding to buy a pet soon :)
I love my dogs for their loyalty and workability. I love my cat because of his personality and independence. Haha I think it takes a level of emotional security to like cats haha
She looks like a real sweetheart, as evidenced by how easy going she seemed while you were grooming her, and by how she was around young kids in the bonus footage. Also, good tip on the face wiping, most people aren’t aware of things like this before purchasing an exotic animal. My parents had a silver shaded Persian when I was growing up and the face goop cleanup was a never-ending battle.
I got an exotic short hair from an elderly couple on Sunday. They couldn't care for him any longer. He has settled in very well. Confined to the family room until is familiar with us. Eating/drinking. Fairly social. He loves following us. Doesn't like being picked up.
All cats need loving home. Adopted or breeder, makes no difference. Ours was 7k from a breeder and we have zero regrets. (Different breed). Planning on #2 this summer and will go right back to our breeder. Thanks for sharing!
These reviews of cats (lemon and basil) are among my favorite videos on TH-cam :3 I love cats but I especially love exotic / british shorthairs and more than that, people talking about their exotic / british shorthairs. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your description. I was looking into getting an exotic shorthair. I was told they didn’t shed as much as the Persian ( long hair) but I saw the amount of hair on your shirt, so you saved me from a headache. Your kitties are beautiful btw.
Know many persian/ exotic couldn’t catch a mouse to save their life 🙈. Do not agree that they are very active or athletic, quite on the contrary. Generally one of the most chill/ lazy cats one can have. They are playful don’t get me wrong, but when I think of athletic or active cats it would be bengals or Norwegian forest cats. There are individual differences, of course.
Thank you for making this. I have a Himalayan and and were picking up our exotic short hair this week so I’m trying to get as much knowledge as I can to prepare
Being the "human" to the SWEETEST & most loving Exotic, (just like gorgeous Lemon), I especially enjoyed this video...My 9 yr old came to me from his breeder, when he was 3 1/2, as he'd been intended to be one of the cattery *studs,* but he turned out to be a "reluctant bridegroom" which STILL cracks me up... *HaHaHa* ...All I had to do was pay for his neutering, travel crate, & flight from out of state...The breeder thoroughly checked me out 1st for assurance I'd be a responsible & loving owner to one of her very loved cats...(Even talking to our family vet...) Finn is the most gentle & affectionate cat I've ever known, & always wants to be "loved" on which I happily provide EVERY single day...(He always follows me around & is always curious about *everything* inside AND outside the windows..(Actually, I just saw him sniffing & checking out a small crack in the foundation.. : ) However, after bringing a 2nd cat (VERY sweet/same age) from a cat shelter, (so Finn would have a playmate & "grooming friend")...well, Finn greatly disliked Fred since the day they were introduced... Now, 2 yr's later, Finn usually "tolerates" Fred, but frequently intimidates this huge 25 pound guy, & will swat/chase him away, & will even corner & try biting him occasionally (Thankfully, has NEVER drawn blood), & then will even try eating his brother's food before he even goes to his own bowls that sometimes he even stands over to "guard" when they both get fed at the exact time, with the same food & same amounts...Both boys are equally loved & each get lots & lots of personal attention, so maybe Finn is still *jealous* of big, ole, gentle Fred, after *TWO* whole yr's??? Can't figure it out...Does anyone have any ideas... *: )* (BTW, sometimes they sleep, (but on opposite sides of my bed) at the same time???)
Aww she’s so cute! We ended up having to go to a breeder for our exotic also since it was so hard to find an exotic rescue (I tried that route first and didn’t have much luck). We are planning on getting another one because we love the breed so much.
I believe in getting my pets from breeders as well. They tend to have longer lives because you know about their lineage. Now I have had Rescue kitties but they never lived as long as my cats from breeders which is heartbreaking. I've loved all my fur babies so much and I a looking forward to getting my first British Blue Shorthair this Monday. I agree about keeping them fully inside as well. My home definitely looks like a home made for cats with lots of toys and cat trees and scratching posts.
hey buddy when ya gonna do a test on kizers 1095 fixed blades. interested in their normal heat treat vs differential forge method of esse and tops. thinking it may have better edge retention due to tighter tolerances. Also love cats. lost 2 a month apart last year. My smokey slept on my chesy every night. He had 1 front leg from a car injury or anaimal attack. I also saved him from a coyote at 3am in my boxers lol. good companions.
Wow that's so interesting! I have always read and heard that British Shorthairs tend to be more active than Exotic Shorthairs! huh! I guess each cat is different too though! Nice video, very informative :)
Ive never seen one of these locally available, Are they typically special order and so rare that you must find a breeder or something and pay alot extra in comparison to your common domestic shorthair?
I have just found your video, I'm gonna pick my exotic cat this Sunday actully from a breeder, choose my cat because I love it's personality. What concerns me very much is this flat face- have you ever noticed /suspected that Lemon's weel being/quality of life is affected by the skull shape ?
Quick husky question. Can you let Ada (I think that's your huskies name) off leash outside? Our Husky was an amazing pupper. I can't imagine ever having a better dog. But we could NEVER let him off the leash without him deciding to run away all while laughing at my futile attempts at catching him. He obeyed every command inside the house and while on the leash though. Now I will say my wife had him for the first 6 years all to herself. I was the newcomer. So he was already set in his ways. Love the pet reviews man! Keep it up.
nope, Huskies are notoriously hard to off leash train, its definitely not just you. I think it can be done, but they have distance running and adventure hardwired into them. She walks pretty well on a leash though, not as pully as even the Golden Retriever.
Any cat is good with dogs as long as the dog grew up with cats and the cat is introduced to the same dog as a young kitten . My brother has a pit bull that loves the hell out of his 2 kittens. They sleep together.
Marv Thomas Lemon was partly because of Liz Lemon from 30 Rock. It seemed to fit her. And Basil because we wanted to keep with the food theme and Basil is a perfect British like... like Basil from faulty towers. (I’m Lemons other parent by the way).
Yeah that's all cool...but....what's she EDC ? Lol, nice video Peter, I love any flat faced animal, but I wondered about all the face goop.. doesn't seem pleasant for anyone during the cleaning process. Take care Pete! Dont let your meatloaf
I just lost my calico exotic to an illness😿They're the best breed❤️Which breeder did you use? I want another one and I'm going to have to have to o have it shipped.
Most people I know don't like that flat face exotics have which is a mystery to me, they're adorable. Yours seems to be on the extreme side of flatness
Yeah same for me I use to think they're ugly (not in a bad way) but It grew on me and it's more of a Ugly but extremely cute beautiful I wanna hug them pet them snoot their noses.
Maybe it's better to just have one cat. Perhaps they aren't so much pack animals like dogs or if they are, then they lose their link to humans. I grew up with a London tabby stray who turned up at our door and she was perfect. Would leave us internal organs of mice as gifts, groom our hair, fight off dogs, everything, but I am biased.
I mean I love cats. The ones with the super flat faces like this, kinda look like they have downs syndrome, or something. They're still cute in there own way. The genetics seem like they are a bit messed up there.
I was a dog man my whole life....until I had kids. Now im all about my cat shes self reliant, low maintnance, and kills rodents. I didnt claim her, she claimed me . Now we are broskis and she follows me on my outdoor adventures and sleeps on my legs. Nice review pete.

Man, I must've acquired the "battery saver" model of the exotic shorthair... Mine does nothing but sleep and follow for pats and snuggles. XD
That’s what my Himalayan does most of the time! Lol
A boy perhaps???
She looks like a real sweetheart, as evidenced by how easy going she seemed while you were grooming her, and by how she was around young kids in the bonus footage.

From someone who had a bengal, these guys are the other side of the spectrum. So quite, so well behaved, so friendly.. I love them
What was your experience with bengals in comparison to exotic shorthairs?
I got an exotic short hair from an elderly couple on Sunday. They couldn't care for him any longer. He has settled in very well. Confined to the family room until is familiar with us. Eating/drinking. Fairly social. He loves following us. Doesn't like being picked up.

I’m a huge knife guy I was looking up exotic short hairs for some cute videos found this video turns out it’s a knife channel. My day is saved
Her face really makes me laugh a lot when listen to your talk at the same time.....I mean she is sooooo lovely XD
Great in-depth review, British Shorthair and Exotic Shorthair are the 2 breeds I'm deciding between and you've got both. Thanks for the videos 👍
Nance Good choices, I will say Brits can be upwards of $2000 USD but they are low maintenance and are very loyal
Cats are easy to maintain. They're self cleaning and stay sharp indefinitely with just a door mat or a fence post.
Best breed ever. Mine ignores EVERYTHING except people and mice. Active? Mine look like they eat Valium.

How DARE you name a cat after a citrus fruit!
Oh the humanity!!
there is nothing wrong with that , would you say the same if i name my cat a Banana .
@@spiritnc2031 named it "Banana" would be fine though. But not with citrus fruit I guess, since cats hate citrus fruit
I bough mine today, he's name's Pythagore
My cats name is HyppotiCitrusLemon Junior
that jump at 7:00 was magnificent
I like your review of your cat. I hope you still have Lemon .She seems to love you and add a lot of happiness in your life.
The cats... They must be allowed self-governance!!! They must exercise their free will!!!
How do you sharpen it and will it hold an edge?
Self sharpening features are built in. Holds the edge a little too well.
Self sharpening on a scratching post.
You are obviously a loving and responsible pet owner. It was a pleasure to have a peek into Lemon's charmed life!!
I love exotic short hair, persian and british short hair , love their amazing personality
I've had 2 Persians and loved them so much especially the last one.

This is such a helpful video, thank you for it! Lemon is absolutely beautiful and adorable. I can’t wait to find my dream exotic kitty!
Finally the important review
Aww she’s so cute! We ended up having to go to a breeder for our exotic also since it was so hard to find an exotic rescue (I tried that route first and didn’t have much luck). We are planning on getting another one because we love the breed so much.
Can I have a link to the site with the breeder?
What a pudgy little sweetheart
I had one, she was very patience and talkative :)

What's the edge angle on her claws?
Toothy vs polished finish for tree-climbing/mouse hunting/everyday cat tasks?
What breeder did you get lemon from! Shes so beautiful! I just moved back to Australia and looking to get an exotic :)
Love seeing your pet family. Thanks for sharing 🐱
Lemon is adorable !!!
11:30 what an incredible moment
I appreciate that even though you guys are vegetarian you don't deprive your pets of meat. Good on ya
pets and kids do what they do food wise 😊
She's cute! She looks cuddly!
She still looks cuddly and cute, two years on!
thanks for sharing this with us. Maybe if you had a party hat on the thumbnail THIS would be your most popular video hahahahaha
Great job man!

Great review of the Exotic Shorthair! Please share the names of their own breeders (Lemon + Basil). Both have stunning type for their breeds.
Another GREAT video, thank you for posting 👍🏼
Wow that's so interesting! I have always read and heard that British Shorthairs tend to be more active than Exotic Shorthairs! huh! I guess each cat is different too though! Nice video, very informative :)
Ive never seen one of these locally available, Are they typically special order and so rare that you must find a breeder or something and pay alot extra in comparison to your common domestic shorthair?
Is the music at the end from Final Fantasy?
I noticed that too, it's Mog's theme music from FF6.
I have kitten it white with different color eye. Would love what kind of kitten it is.
Any breeeder recommendations
I would like to find these cats I need to for my farm
Have you ever tried the cucumber trick with Lemon or Basil?
yeah! no effect! was very dissapoint!
@@CedricAda Lol, they do seem like pretty chill cats.
edc capability 2/10 sharpness 10/10 handleing 3/10
magic pretty much spot on
You've moved to cats and art films,Shabazz is on a fashion kick, AKB in a dank pit drinking Zima...Things are getting weird
I have just found your video, I'm gonna pick my exotic cat this Sunday actully from a breeder, choose my cat because I love it's personality. What concerns me very much is this flat face- have you ever noticed /suspected that Lemon's weel being/quality of life is affected by the skull shape ?
Which state in Aus do you live in? Can you recommend a good breeder in Victoria?
Can you suggest a breeder? everyone I find online seems to be a scammer. Have been looking for a month!
Very interesting video - Lemon is clearly a sweetheart, but personally I'm not keen on the aesthetics of flat-face cats
Pretty spot on
Thank you beautiful review

800$? That’s pretty cheap, what cattery did you get her?
Are they good with dogs?
Any cat is good with dogs as long as the dog grew up with cats and the cat is introduced to the same dog as a young kitten . My brother has a pit bull that loves the hell out of his 2 kittens. They sleep together.
Hello. May I ask who is the breeder of your cat?
what steel is she made of?
Im considering getting a cat where/what is your breeders website or social media
unforgettable exotics is the name, i think shes got a website if you google her. shes in tasmania
She’s precious :)
I want to buy an exotic shorthair too can you share your breeder info?
Which Breeder do you get her from? Thanks!
How is the pocketability?
She's PISSED at you for bring another cat into her domain
Does Uncle Bucket play with it?
Where did Basil and Lemon get their names ??
Marv Thomas Lemon was partly because of Liz Lemon from 30 Rock. It seemed to fit her. And Basil because we wanted to keep with the food theme and Basil is a perfect British like... like Basil from faulty towers. (I’m Lemons other parent by the way).

That face resembles Crookshanks 😂
hey there, what is the name of the breeder for lemon and the name for basil's breeder ? thank you :)
I just lost my calico exotic to an illness😿They're the best breed❤️Which breeder did you use? I want another one and I'm going to have to have to o have it shipped.
I have a desire to buy exotic short hair, where did I get it
Are you in Aussie?

Yeah same for me I use to think they're ugly (not in a bad way) but It grew on me and it's more of a Ugly but extremely cute beautiful I wanna hug them pet them snoot their noses.

Can you please tell the name of the breeder plz?
Just remember, friends don't let friends get a dog.
Luv that smooshy face!
I am 100% jealous! :
You monster who do you think you are and are you going to get Pokémon for the switch when it’s released 😁
Howard green YES
She's soooo lovely 😍
A cat that cannot clean it's own face seems like a design failure xD
definitely not optimized!
Maybe it's better to just have one cat. Perhaps they aren't so much pack animals like dogs or if they are, then they lose their link to humans. I grew up with a London tabby stray who turned up at our door and she was perfect. Would leave us internal organs of mice as gifts, groom our hair, fight off dogs, everything, but I am biased.
Is cute and chill
I want one and name her/him Boba
That's a grail cat.
Always feel sleepy exo cat...😅🤣
👍she is beautiful!!!
You know, on second viewing, her face reminds me of Scp-173, I don`t know why.
What a great review please do human breed review 😆😁😆
What a great video!! xo
Ok I got a cat 5 years ago, lemme review it so I get revenue 👌🏻
I mean I love cats. The ones with the super flat faces like this, kinda look like they have downs syndrome, or something. They're still cute in there own way. The genetics seem like they are a bit messed up there.
The best money I ever spent was on My exotic short hair Miss Lily
Hey I’m just lowabinh this breed. But does your Miss lily jump a lot? Like will you cone home and find her on top of the fridge? Lol
