Ollie has this kind of presence that states, "Hon...I'm 16 and a half years old. I've seen it all. I've done it all. You can do your worst...you will not break me!"

Off topic... Xavier University in Cincinnati?
Olivander is such a tolerant cat. The fact that he actually laid on his side and let you do that is amazing to me. He worked up an appetite after his groom
It shows that he is extremely well socialised, and was trained to accept being groomed in general
@@hannajung7512You give me some pain meds and I’ll accept a groom too! Lol.
The first time we shaved my friend's very ancient cat, she was very confused but tolerant. The second time? She was in heaven. The feeling of knots being removed and knowing she wasn't going to have a ton of hair to groom made her so happy. Miss you, Sassy girl. You were a good cat.
What a good kitty. I’m sure she was happy :)
That “Meow” of dissatisfaction at 6:19 was just hilarious 😆 Ollivander was probably just like “I guess this is my life now…”
Poor old fella!
I loved how just entirely "meh" he was the whole time. Such a good baby
he has the crunchiest meow too which makes it even better
I had to rewind to it, and you're right! Bless his heart! 😂
Kudos to Olivander’s owner for taking such great care of him. He’s such a good boy and was very tolerant of his groom 💜
considering his arthritis i’m honestly so surprised he’s not more matted, i bet it rly hurts him when he gets brushed if ur not super gentle
@@nckojita I was surprised too and that’s why I’m so impressed with the owner! You can tell they did the best the could and only certain areas (the painful areas) seemed to be matted.
That deeply offended look he gave you when the treat was under his nose was just pure cat hauteur….
“I am not so easily bought woman!!”
Like, "You must be joking!!"
Cats + happy hoodie = eastern european gramma, & i'm permanently here for it.
I remember the struggles getting my cat to even get near a carrier..then watching these cats at the groomer that are like:
"What? You want me to leave this wonderful carrier? I will have you know that carrier is my ancestral home!"
My cats refuse to get in the carrier to go to the vet, then refuse to leave it at the vet and can't wait to get back in
There is a pretty simple trick: let the carrier be part of your living space and put some treats in it for the cats to find every now and then.
They quickly will start to see the carrier as a nice place to be. and try if you can avoid it to force them into the carrier, instead coax them into it with some treats and then close it while they are munching on it.
Especially when the cat freaks out in the carrier make a step by step training, close it just for a second and open it right away, then a bit longer, then some minutes and lift it up ... and so on... allways try to catch the moment were they start to get nervous and then let them out. This way they learn that they will not be locked in forever, that you will let them out again. you might never have them happy in the carrier, but at least they will not start to freak out befor they are even in it
@@hannajung7512ah lol you already said it all, nice. My comment wasnt needed. Fully agree with u 😅
What a chivalrous cat! "Ma'am, please unhand me."
He looks adorable!
I had a Maine Coin that lived 23 years. She needed a lot of extra help with her grooming the last several years of her life. I think she was grateful for the help! Olivander seemed mostly happy too!
Wow 23 years old! My favourite breed are Maine Coons.
"How dare you bribe me with food, I'm no fool Miss" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But he gave in to the treat temptations afterwards. 😂❤😻
I have cared for elderly cats, am caring for two of them right now, both over 15 years old. A person's vanity should never outweigh the comfort and needs of a pet. Shaving a long-haired, matted, elderly cat can be a massive relief for the cat and should be considered first before the "prettiness" of the hair.
Jolly good. As a stranger and former cat sibling, I appreciate the care you put towards felines.
My old boy only made it to 10 years. ❤
He needed that shave. You can tell in his demeanor he is feeling much better.❤
he was really sweet and tolerant even though he was low on his kitty timer. you can definitely see that he was protective of his back legs, which makes sense with his health problems. your compassion and professionalism always shines through, thank you for helping these animals
He was definitely calmly and politely plotting your death while on his side in the rage cage. I bet he was composing it as poetry, maybe haiku.
So cute!!! I love the lion cut. ❤
For my Himalayan cat I preferred the lion cut as she got older. Would have the groomer do it in the late spring and my cat was more comfortable in the summer heat, as well as fewer hair balls and she was better able to clean herself. By the fall enough of the coat had grown back for her comfort during the winter. Plus always thought she looked super sporting the lion cut! You made Ollivander look great!
I also get my 17 year old a lion cut in the spring. Since he’s an orange kitty he really does look like a little lion.
what a gentle old man. thank you for prioritizing his comfort and well-being
Even though you're able to offer your services for free, I feel like you should be given something to compensation. I would gladly bake you a cake for grooming my cats as a thank you! Love your videos, keep it up!
She's doing this for free? Wow, such an amazing person.
@@kosmik8647yeah, she gets enough ad revenue to. It’s really cool
If you watch her videos until close to the end, not skip on ads, like and comment, that’s what you can do as a big thank you~ ✨🙌
@@kosmik8647apparently for her is enough that we watch the videos 😊
@@kosmik8647 because of the channels and all the subscribers she has. She gets paid by supporters and YT, to offer her services free of charge to pet owners, rescues, breeders, and more!
I had a Himalayan cat that when she was just a very small kitten, I took her to the groomer. She went every month and she was the Only cat they would groom. They trained her from 5 weeks old until she passed away. She was strictly an indoor cat. The rule in my house was that whosever she was sitting on, one of them was required to brush her while watching television. Perfect cat.
What a distinguished elder gentlefloof 😍
Wow! What a very well-behaved gentleman. Mine was 21 when she crossed the rainbow bridge earlier this month, and she would have fought from the start. The vet even had to sedate her for everything.
I will admit I've never been a fan of this cut on a cat however in this case I totally think it was the right call given how old he is,his health and avoiding pain and problems in the future. Thanks once again for putting the animals health and well-being above all else. ❤
my heart just melted seeing this stately old fellow with his cloudy eyes. the first cat i ever adopted passed away last year. he was already well into adulthood when i got him and i had him for a decade. he was this old and world-weary by the end of it. i was bathing him and brushing him regularly too and he was so sweet and tolerant. the only time he ever voiced a complaint was when i had to cut his nails, and even then it was just a resigned grumble.
What a good kitty, despite his discomfort! His lion cut looks like a deliberate choice rather than a handy fix... and "Olivander" is an AWESOME cat name, suits him perfectly.
what a lovely old man :) We have a 10-year-old cats who doesn't take care of her coat at all, we bathe and wash her but she can't handle brushing either, so she gets the lion cut 3 times a year. She is 100 times happier now, she even likes her little sweaters in winter. She while she might look "prettier" with her long coat, the lion cut helps her itchy skin (allergies to everything) and makes her happy. That is all that matters.
OMG little cat sweaters are awesome!
Do you find that shaving actually helps with allergies? I have a poor little girl who isn't even a year old who has severe allergies to the point of scratching herself silly. The vet and I have been trying EVERYTHING to help her and we are at our wits end?
Shaving is something we haven't thought of??
@@Nikki_81 Yes, it has helped her a lot. Plus finding grain free food that she liked (which was way more difficult) If her skin is very itchy - be it from mosquito bites, or just being dry - I give her an oatmeal bath that helps (she isn't a fan but it does help). She can also keep herself clean when shaved. I brush her with a boar bristle brush when she allows it.
It's a shame that lovely thick coat had to go, but with his age and discomfort over brushing, it's definitely the right choice in the long run. He'll have a much easier time being groomed and hopefully that means less discomfort too. What a fine old fellow. 💚
Plus we now get to see his very adorable grandpa pudge 🥺
Oh boy I can relate to being an old cat. Fussy, set ways, just not having it. 😼
He was so sweet. My guy is almost 20. It's very sad to see their grooming habits change. Thank you for being so wonderfully compassionate with him and he looks fantastic.
He just looks at everything with such indignity. My first cat did that too. She was born and for the next 22 years (I know, crazy) she was completely unimpressed with life.
The bubble looked so funny on him. Sixteen is elderly. Bless his heart. 🎉
As always, thank you for showing compassion and keeping their comfort and happiness in mind. Ollivander seems like such a distinguished older fella❤️
Ollie must have wonderful two legged “servants” who’ve kept him healthy all these years!
Ollivander! Such a perfectly unique name!
I love Harry Potter inspired cat names! They are all so whimsical.
He does look like an old wizard with his whiskers, it's perfect.
I could see his kitty timer nearing “you’re out of time vanesssa”. But he was so good up to a point, I mean really. ❤
Great Groom!! At 16 years old it's more about comfort than beauty. It's so hard to see a cat when he was younger would be good for brushing and then see that he was in too much pain to get brushed out . Beautiful lion cut to Make him comfortable. Soo cute 🥰 love from Bucks county Pennsylvania 😊🐕🐾🐾
I bet Ollivander felt so much better after his groom. What a sweet old man.
I ❤ senior kitties. 😊
I appreciate the cats videos as much as the dogs, I know how difficult they can be but you are just amazing and patient with them and the relief you have given to Ollivander is a gift!
He is 80 years old in human years. Today morning, came to know about 14.5 years old female cat. These cat are living proof of how good their owners have taken care & enhance the pet's life in every way. Vanessa, you are the best choice for this handsome old man.
My female kitty Bast is 18. I've had her since she was less than a year old.
I had a female cat make it to 18 before kidney disease got the best of her. Just this past April, I lost my Siamese to the same thing. He was 17. A vet once told me, if they don’t get cancer by 12, what will usually get them in the end is the kidneys. They both lived very happy, spoiled lives and are probably happy to be with each other again in the afterlife.
@@AuskaDezjArdamaath same, my cat reached 19 and a half before the vet said it was time to put her down. she'd had kidney issues for years and was developing several other health issues so it was her time to go
My eldest boy, Gilmore, is 20 years old currently. He’s a VERY handsome black gentlemen who has a grizzled snout, which is the only sign of his mature age. Other than that, he is like a child! He zoomies all the time & is a major source of giggles. Senior cats are the absolute best
my old lady just turned 21, she’s older than me!!
Olivander looked lovely in his lion cut and you can tell he feels better; that acceptance of the treat said it all.
I'm probably going to parrot what others may have said, but I think his owner(s) have done a marvelous job with Olivander. His face is absolutely precious!🥰
Awe! He looks so adorable as a lion! 😻 Poor old man. It's sad when our fur babies are in pain. Sounds like he has a wonderful owner though.
Out of all of your videos between both channels, Olivander is my new favourite cat that you've shared. I legit gigglesnorted at his facial expressions throughout the entire video.
Honestly, my partner's sweet, well behaved little terrier mutt is about this size and it takes both of us tiny women and sometimes our friend too in order to cut his nails, kudos for doing a cat (arguably way less well behaved than any dog) on your own! It always impresses me so much to see people wrestle animals like that. Both the skill and the patience are great!
Ollivander was a beautiful boy and it's hard to see beloved pets in pain with old age. He looked so much happier and relieved after the lion cut, because that matting must have been stressful and uncomfortable for him. His owner was cleatly doing their best for him despite the pain he feels and now he won't have to go through all that grooming and feel stressed. He went from "what the heck is this?" to "yum, give me all the treats please".❤
Beautiful kitty! I’m sure he’ll be much happier now that he’s not dirty and his owners will be able to keep him clean more easily
The look he gave you when you presented that treat😂that old boy is a trip
He looked so disgusted when you first offered him that Churu 😂
Thank you for putting the cat's wellbeing first. It always breaks my heart when owners won't shave their pets because they like the way it looks while their pet is just going to suffer for it.
Ollivander: "In case you're wondering who's smarter...who gets his own traveling case and who gets dragged in here by a leash looking like he just dropped out of kindergarten?"🤪
If you want to know how serious a cat bite can be I will tell you. Just before the pandemic our new kitten was a drooler and it got into a scratch on my leg. I ended up in the hospital burn unit with necrotizing facetious that is a flesh eating bacteria. Several surgeries 8 months later luckily I didn't lose my leg but did lose all the muscles on my lower left leg. Still love my fur baby and don't blame her.
If you don’t mind me asking, how fast did it get like that ? It’s one of the things that give me anxiety about having cats
Oh dear! I'm glad you are better. I've heard that cat bites can be very dangerous. 💐
😮 my oldest is a drooler. I'm sure she's drooled in my wounds in the last 18 years (I'm a klutz) I must be lucky
wow. Not even an old nasty stray cat but a kitten. Poor leg.
*fasciitis
Before I even watch, I have to share the fact, that when I see a notification, it literally puts a smile on my face, thank you ever so much, and I am so so happy that I found your channel🤩, now back to it, sending lots of love to all the fur babies that you come across and to all who have fur babies watching your channel💕🐶😻💕✌🏻
I’m so glad you ended up going for the lion cut. As a fellow geriatric- there are times when we have to sacrifice beauty for comfort 👵🏼🐱
He is such a good cat. He looked like he really enjoyed his face being wiped dry ❤
I've been stressed for months and am about to be homeless by the end of the week. Weirdly enough your videos have been really calming and pulling me out of my own head so I just wanted to say thank you for that and thank you for all that you do for these animals, especially for the people that have pets they cannot afford to get help for.
You do amazing work for so many pets.
Praying for you, been close myself, hope you find a hand up. I advise seeking out a bible believing church. A good one helps their own. Also there is nothing like knowing no matter what this world can do to me, it is well with my soul.
I do hope things work out for you…I was made homeless in 2020 and with 2 weeks to go found somewhere to live, after 7 months of fruitless searching. Nowhere would take my dogs. Now I am safe and comfortable, and I still count my blessings three years on. Sometimes something just comes along that you didn’t expect. And yes, getting out of your head in that situation is a wonderful thing, and not easy.
I am so sorry you are in this situation. If you start up a gofundme I would, and others I think, contribute to this and help you out. You could post a video and do the link for it on your own channel.
I've been there. Luckily I'm no longer homeless, but I've still got quite a bit of stress. I made a "wholesome animal videos" playlist out of videos that gave me the warm fuzzies or were calming, it's nice to watch when I start spiraling. You could make a playlist of your own out of videos you really liked and found relaxing?
@@adelissahunsley Thank you so much I appreciate the advice.
Great work Vanessa! Love the mane style you gave Ollivander. He looks great! I can only imagine how happy he was to have those mats removed.
Lol, he just looks so done when the happy hoodie gets put on!!!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
What a beautiful cat…16 years young! And a sweet boi too! Great job as always Vanessa!!
Such a handsome gentleman! ❤
From a catparent to other catparents: for your 13+ companions please consider adding good reliable joint suppliments to their diets. Glucosamine is an essential part of their joint health. And yes, I have seen the results both with my own and close friends felines. Painkillers can only do so much for our whiskered friends. ❤
Can confirm. They're not a cure but can relieve some discomfort
@@rociosilverroot2261 , exactly. Plus always consult a trusted vet with experience of joints and senior companions. 🙂👍
My 13 yr old is long-hairded & has lost the self-grooming battle. Surprisingly she enjoyed the clipper "massage", especially on her (never touch) belly. I recently did a sanitary touch-up & got zero resistance. Although I think she secretly wanted the full body "massage" again!
Her fur is filling in just I time for winter & it looks healthier. Love you & all you do! Have shared certain videos with friends for guidance on their difficult pets. You're the best with all the critters you groom. Kind, tolerant, patient & quite knowledgeable. Thanks!
That low cry of resignation at 6:19 slays me 😂
He was such a good boi and you were so gentle with him! Very good sign that he ate the treat after, I bet he felt sooooo much better!
Pets are too much commitment for me, but I do love getting 'in-sync' with other people's pets, and making them happy. Your videos teach me new techniques, thank you.
You are spot on for how quick the cat bites come. My kitty is a biter, and those sneak attacks are a killer! She is an Angel at the vet and when I had a neighbour who was groomer, who did her nails, paw pads, and butt. She has bitten my ankles, thighs, all parts of my arms, my nose, and my bare butt. 😂 God I love her!!❤
I’ll never understand how people have cats that continuously bite or scratch. I could never handle an animal in my home acting like that. I’ve rescued over 40 cats and 20 dogs and Idk how I’ve gotten lucky with the horror stories I’ve seen and heard especially with ferals. Maybe it’s the bonding and training we do. All of our cats love their bellies rubbed and have never once even gently used their teeth on me lol
I know you specialize in dogs, but I always greatly appreciate your cat videos! You do your best to balance their comfort with their needs.
But some cats, like Ollivander here, are just low on the "kitty patience minutes" for some grooming tasks, as my vet would put it. Obvs some are worse than others and he's not really that bad except for the combing/armpit shaving.
I'm glad his humans were able to bring him to you and that you're able to help.
Same here, even if the kitty cats are tricky, she really makes it look easy, and they always always end up looking so much better afterward😻✌🏻
He is not low on patience at all! Vanessa is careful of his discomfort and he is quite cooperative.
@@bcayeI agree, he was one of the most patient cats I’ve ever seen throughout the whole process.
Low on kitty patience? This was one of the most patient and gentle cats ever. Like she said in the video, he showed when he doesn't like something (probably cause it hurts) but even then he's super gentle and calm.
This cat isn’t low on patience. You haven’t seen spicy Mayo or some of the others here. Old man cat is just old.
That you made the decision to give him a partial shave in HIS best interest shows how truly animal oriented you are. He obviously has a caring owner are very few people I know who groom who are as consistently and completely about the animal first and what the owner wants (because of looks not comfort)is second. Good for you Vanessa.
Loved how Olivander was looking around, taking everything in, when he just sitting down waiting if to be rinsed after the first shampooing
What a nice kitty. I had my long haired orange girl shaved into a lion cut one summer when she was 12. She felt so much better. Her undercoat never grew back properly but she also never got serious matting after that.
I miss my little old man, he was 17 when he shuffled loose this mortal coil 😢 Olivander was so polite with his displeasure, such a good kitty 💙
I lost my old man cat at 17 as well. Kidneys. He had a spoiled life all the way to the end.
"You're a really good cat!" 'I'm on meds, babe, whatever...' - Ollivander is thinking
I never would have thought I'd spend an hour a week watching per grooming videos but here we are with Murder mittens and grinch paws.
Before I knew any better and before I found your channel, I pulled on my cats small mat (while trying to comb it out) and he won't let me touch his underarm ever since. It's been 7 years and he doesn't trust me in that area. Cats remember and mats really hurt them. I still feel bad for hurting him.
The disgruntled “mrau” in the bubble 😂😍🥰
I am absolutely loving the longer cat videos!
A) I love the kitty videos (I'm a cat person and I also love watching your dog videos but the cats get an extra smile from me). B) I always check to see if you have a video when I first arrive at TH-cam. You're an auto-watch for me. :) I love the energy you have with the animals.
Around 14-16 is when we started having to get our kitty seasonally shaved. She lived to be 20 and after 18-19 she stopped growing back as much fur. Miss you graybaby ❤
It’s nice to see someone who cares so much when it comes to their job. You treat the senior Katz with such care and such tenderness.
You do such a wonderful job with the animals, you are a heaven sent hon. Thank you for all you do
Cats wearing the happy hoody are always hilarious.
In the end, the cat was filled with trust in the groomer and accepted the treat from his hands! Bravo!
He was feeling so much better so he ate a snack 😻😻😻
What a majestic elderly man ❤❤❤👵🏴🌹
What a lovely chap he is. I'm sorry your go-pro didn't get your usual after-shot but could see he looked adorable in his lion cut 👍
The immediate bonk against the wall when she put the bubble on him was honestly kind of funny
My cat is 23 and she's stopped grooming herself as well. She's short haired so I use waterless shampoo foam and I brush her everyday. I wish I could bathe her like normal but she absolutely does not tolerate it. She would benefit so much from a proper scrub and blow out like this! I hope Ollivander feels so much better after his groom today.
you might want to consider putting her on pain meds. she probably stopped grooming because her back hurts.
Pain is often overlooked in cats because often the symptome is just reduced activity levels.
May I ask what brand of shampoo you use and how often you use it? My cat just turned 11 so when she gets to the point of not being able to groom herself I'll be using a waterless/ dry shampoo
@@shadowsinmymind9 I use the brand called Vet's Best, and I use their cat formula for waterless shampoo. For my cat I use it about every week and a half to two weeks. It's super easy to use, you just dispense the foam on your hands and rub it all over them and then brush them out. Having two people helps at first until they become more used to the process
@@sydneychesser7986 thanks!
23 is incredibly impressive for a cat, wow! Clearly your care for their wellbeing has paid off. Wonderful to have such a long time with a beloved pet.
I have a 14 year old cat with severe arthritis. We're able to manage his pain with a dosage of adequan every 4 weeks and giving him cosequin joint supplements plus gabapentin daily. These are all fairly affordable and really do make a difference for an elderly cat or a cat with arthritis!
He was not impressed with the squeeze cheese, wants his usual caviar! 💕
I had a cat that loved baths, he'd jump in the tub with you and just swim around.
What a sweet and precious kitty
I definitely think the shave down was the best option, even if he's very cute with all his fluff.
Ollie is so well mannered for a cat getting a bath and clip from you. Great job on his coat!
I’m surprised he was as mellow as he was, not totally of course but really quite good. Beautiful older cat. 💚💚
He's adorable. I love how compassionately you take care of all the animals you groom.
Awhhh…what a darling, old boy. It was like he half wanted a Spa day and half just thought: “I am way too old to tolerate this nonsense”. The owner sounds like an Excellent fur-Mom. I’m glad she gave him some pain meds prior to his appointment, and SUCH a good boy in the shower. Vanessa - as always, I think that was a good call - I’m sure Ollivander feels better and will be able to groom himself more easily. He looks quite a bit like one of my grand-kitties.
He even liked on his side for you. He's such a sweet boy.
He is a good boy. He was quite patient and only got really testy when you were almost done. I think you have sound judgment on his cut due to his age and arthritic joints. Awesome, Vanessa!❤
I had a senior Himalayan and it's almost like the get matted the second you look away.
He is old and shorter hair will definitely make him happier. It is best to keep as stress-free as possible so hopefully, he can stay longer.
Kitties are so cute! I love it when they use their little back thumpers to push away anything unwanted or their front swipers ❤
I'm grateful for your chanell, definitely now after I had to send one of my purring babies beyond the rainbow bridge, he is gon two day now.
Sorry about your buddy 🙏
@@lulumoon6942 thank you
Sorry about your loss bud, losing them is so hard
Sending virtual support!
I'm so sorry 💔💙
I am sure he must have felt so much better after his groom, wow! What a before and after.
