@kenj0165 You can only assume - the truth is we weren't there and do not know the details. That said, Vanessa changed chonky Ruby's life tor the better.
It’s all tangled in the matting, plus she’s probably torn a ton out throughout the time her fur’s been like this. If it’s more properly managed in the future, it will probably grow out nice and long and beautiful again in no time.
30 years of vet/grooming cats experience speaking. We always sedated cats for these kinds of shaves. Both so they don't injure staff or themselves. They just do not tolerate grooming back legs and groin areas. So seeing you able to do it without knocking her out is a real testimony to your skill and patience. Have seen a few cats that would let themselves be groomed but they were like the 1%.
My cats are definitely the 1%. I always have to ask that they not be sedated and if they would just let them sit in my lap, they won’t even move, and it is so hard finding a vet/groomer willing to give me a chance. Which I know there are owners whose cats act like Ruby, and they claim their kitties don’t meed sedation so that the owner can save $60, so I understand their perspective as well. But once they actually let me come in for the appointments everything works out! I bathe my cats regularly and do most other things like trimming them, their nails, and brushing their teeth; but the one thing I haven’t gotten down yet is using a razor, so huge shave jobs are the one thing I have to take them to get done. I wish there was like a certificate of “yes my cat is actually calm and needs no sedation” I could get from a vet. I worked really hard to train my cats since they were kittens though, and train cats I foster too to get used to being handled for necessary grooming stuff. My current vet also lets me scruff my own cats at the appointments while getting their yearly shots and stuff now that they have seen how much calmer they are, since my cats are used to me doing daily body checks on them. (They do cooperate if someone else scruffs them, but they keep escaping to my arms instead, so they’re now just like, “fuck it. You know how to scruff’em and can make them sit on the scale. Hold’em please.”)
At the same moment you told her "Stop it!", she was saying the exact same thing to you, just a bit more emphatically. Glad you were able to help her feel better and you parted as friends.
Yeah it can be easy to forget that from the cat's point of view this is just some really weird thing you're doing for no apparent reason that the cat really doesn't like in certain areas of their body. Though they seem to potentially bond with you if they feel like nothing unforgivable happened in the end.
she's definetly a chubby (but very adorable) girl, which may have contributed to her mats. Obese cats have a hard time grooming their back ends, so keeping your kitty at a healthy weight is always a good idea! ❤

I agree with OP. Happy hoodied cats still look like their heads are a skinny tube, no matter how round their body is. In fact, the roundness of their body accentuates the skinny-tube-head-with-whiskers effect. It is a goofy sight.
You’d be shocked. My brother had a morbidly obese cat (we think it was glandular), and she managed to squish herself under a 5 inch tall space under the couch to hide
@@beanj580 yeah I was mostly just making a joke, but the general rule of if their head can fit and they can fit definitely goes by the wayside when they get obese lol. They can still fit in a lot of things, but it definitely changes
And possibly in some amount of arthritic pain from her joints and back trying to support all the extra weight. This will make her less inclined to groom properly too
It's hilarious how tiny her head suddenly looked when you put the little hood on her and squished all that floof down. She looks so much more comfortable all clipped and bathed, and I'm sure she feels much better too. Thanks for taking such good care of her!
Erm, in my experience, a low growl like that is a warning to not-so-kindly Fluff Off... The few times my kitty did that, she was beyond upset and claws AND teeth were soon to become an issue. Which is why Vanessa trimmed the murder mittens immediately afterwards and put Ruby into the trouble bubble.
@@clarrytheclam My family has a rescue cat, but she’s more likely to silently claw or run than make any warning noise. Just depends on the cat I guess :)

Great job as usual! I hope the lovely Ruby gets a complete vet exam and is put on a better diet. Obese kitties can't groom themselves like fit kitties do,even worse with long hair, and are also prone to other health issues.
@Insectoid_ yeah, someone cares to make sure she gets fed well. I kinda wonder if she's owned by someone elderly who might not he able to perceive the problem. (I'm probably over analyzing things though lol).
I was cracking up when Ruby had the happy hoodie and bubble head on, her face to funny😾I bet she feels so much better, she turned out very cute. Love the purring at the end.😸💕
Ruby went from relief, to anger, to relief again during this whole session. Then wanted to be your friend and finished it up with being angry again. What a rollercoaster of emotions!
Letting your cats (and dogs) free feed, overeat, and be overweight is going to shorten their lifespan. You love your pet and want it to live as long as possible? Take care of them!! Vet trips, measured feedings, play with them, even 5 minutes is better than none.
It's very sad how common obesity is in pets, especially in cats. It's even worse when people think it's "cute". Like, dude, it's not cute that your cat can't groom itself properly, winds up getting diabetes, and has joint problems 😔
Animals and owners are usually the same; I have seen vegetarians and vegans who forces same diet to their pets. So I'm guessing this cat's owner is also overweight and not a "health freak" so to speak which they won't be sweating off with healthy diets, veggies and sports everyday only to have couple more years than the average. So I think, you should first convince the owners to change their own diets and life styles before convincing them to force it to their pets. :P
this isn't always true about free feeding. there are certainly animals that eat to excess, but many (I'd argue most) eat when they're hungry. Most of the time overweight animals aren't gorging themselves on dry cat/dog food. They're eating an excess of treats or table food. Or being overfed wet food.
@@Haplo-san Sorry, Idgaf what the owner's health and lifestyle is. Humans make their own choices, our pets don't get the same hand. Forcing an animal to be vegan is abuse, nothing else to say on the matter.
The phrase "kitty timer" has become a part of my vocabulary when I'm giving my cat sub-q fluids (she has kidney disease). The Kitty Timer is a very important thing to be aware of! 😄
