I am now imagining a void-black cat come out, weighing like 18 pounds, the most "I'm over it" look ever. After the DS3 boss music vocals, they just flop over onto their side and just look at you as if to say "Why haven't you started petting me yet?"
@@MetalHevno health bar for this boss, but a Petting bar, you win the “battle” by playing with the friendly giant cat. They become an ally, and can randomly show up to help you during any other boss battle afterwards, and you can summon them at any bonfire after for extra XP or Health boosts (because as we all know, snuggling with a nice animal helps boost your mind and health)
Ooh thank you so much for taking care of Mutsy! She was so happy coming home after her spa day :) I am looking forward to getting this special comb and taking care of her. Thanks again :)
@@lovesiriusblack thank you :) I hope so too. I have two kitties and I’d give 15 years of my life to each of them so we can be on this planet the same amount of time. Happy to have finally purchased these combs and can give her the spa day she deserves every week :)
I love your cat! She reminds me of my old boy Tiger. He was such a gentle boy, and he loved cuddles. When he was older, he would choose pets over eating, so you'd have to pet him while he ate his wet food!
Reminds me of a cat we had years ago. Jax was very vocal during bath time and would be spread eagle on the side of the tub yelling "Help", "Mom", and "No".
I had a cat just like this adopt my family when I was a kid. He just showed up on our porch one day, helped himself inside the house and then never left. He sat on his own chair at the table during family meals, was always an angel and even protected our pet gerbils from the other cats when they escaped their enclosure. Truly a great breed of cat.
"All these whining brats... They should just learn to relax. Let the humie treat us like the gods we are and everything will be fine. Plus, we come out looking shiny."
@@atigerclaw right? She needs to put out a PSA for her fellow felines. My senior lady STILL acts as if I am trying to murder her when I simply brush her. And yes, I have tried multiple styles of brushes and combs,
@@sylvisterling8782 nobody I know uses "petted". it might be grammatically wrong, but this is one of those cases where either word is widely accepted and used, no sense being pedantic about it. language evolves
I don't think her tail wagging was her being upset as much as it was her being overstimulated by the constant brushing. Such a sweetheart! I bet she feels like silk 🥹
This sweet, beautiful girl is the definition of "Uncomfy, but dealing". I applaud her bravery. One thing I learned though my 30ish years of having kitties, is purring ~can~ be a sign of stress. The tail whaps were definitely showing she was less than thrilled, but I'm sure she is grateful for the makeover.
Nope, I'm sorry but I dont' agree. They might purr when anxious, they would never expose the belly though. Usually they'd purr but stay in what I call the "brick position", you wouldn't be able to budge them, let alone touch their belly! This was a very mild and well disposed cat.
Cats purr for a bunch of reasons! Self-soothing for mental stimuli is one reason, self-soothing for pain is another, happiness is another... In this case, I'd say she's happy.
I like that the owner asked what they could do better. People make mistakes or don’t know everything, and it’s good when they can admit it and want to improve.
My cat Ivan was this sweet, I could bathe him and brush him, in the end I had to shave areas. He lived to be 21 years old and passed over rainbow bridge last September. He also was a black cat with medium hair ...I miss him.
It's the "happy hoody"!😂 she puts them on the cats and dogs to protect their ears from the sounds/dryer but also provides comfort for them bc of the light pressure around their heads! Sometimes they like them and sometimes they don't
she LOVES being brushed!! what a sweet cat, i’m glad i got to see her being pampered and hope her owners can maintain her coat with what you taught in the video
I'm in the middle of furiously packing up for a sudden move out of my apartment and I've stopped everything for a rejuvenating, de-stressing video of a purring cat getting groomed. I needed this!
That was genius of you to do that! Good for you for taking care of your mental health during stress.. I hate moving soo much. I hope it all went smoothly and your comfy and settle into the new digs 🍀
Ikr? Why would her owner not dedicate a few minutes/week to brush out some of that undercoat? What's the point of having her if you won't spend a little time caring for her?
@@opalsirius8484considering most people work full time jobs 6-7 days out of the week it might be hard to constantly be brushing her coat, and they may only be able to get around to it when she’s bathed sadly. it’s also hard to know if you’re getting everywhere and there may be spots you forget/accidentally go over
@@opalsirius8484 You’re absolutely right. I prefer shorthairs for this very reason. Longhairs are really pretty, but you really have to dedicate a chunk of your time to keep their coats clean and tidy.
@@veralindqvist3944 yup!! I think that's what a lot of people fail to figure out is just how much maintenance a longer haired cat is😅 like I have a short hair and she literally requires no grooming what so ever bc she's still young so she doesn't struggle to do it on her own yet
What a gentle soul. She reminds me of my dad’s cat Molly, just the sweetest black cat ever. My parents were both dog people before they met Molly, but she was so wonderful she converted them both and we have had cats ever since!
But they need to get a brush for the kitty:) i actually enjoy brushing my cats and they love brushing too, so we have these special moments, it’s like a SPA ritual, they come for the brush when I show it to them:)
We have a really calm home but just one cat is calm. One is a rescue cat and is really friendly but mostly because he is scared. The other is also friendly but a little crazy crack head. I foster rescue cats, literally every cat has a different personality. There are cats out of really bad homes that are really calm and friendly and one that’s not.
My vet was downright confused by my 13yo ragdoll. He was chill, enjoying his pumpkin hoodie and was calmed by me holding his face 😂 when he had to get blood drawn. He slept for an hour waiting on his appointment after a mean dog lol. Came back with the vitals of a cat half his age, so not only healthy but crowned the Vet’s office’s favorite. The entire 10 person staff at the office dropped into his room to see him bc he was so friendly and handsome that they called each other by to say hi 😂❤Favorite part of his appointment was when she tried to give him treats I told her that my cat didn’t give a fluff about those and just handed him to her like some toy 🤣 She took the cat and was baffled I just did that and he didn’t care 🔥
We have a ragdoll as well. She's not that well behaved with groomers and vets. She's not a loving, cuddly type, she's extremely playful instead. I am a little jealous, but I love her anyway.
I have a Ragdoll, too. His brother just passed 😢, but he was 17 1/2, and still was pretty, and loved to love...he definitely was hurting his last few days, but he still took time to groom his bro. He purred right up to his last breath--literally. So now we just have the one, MeMe (because it's all about him, all the time.) He isn't the brightest bulb, and he will fight the bath (in fact, for a not very bright cat, he's quite resourceful.) According to the vet, we likely have several more years with this one, if his senior kitty labs/tests are any indication. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about this, as he is incredibly vocal, and I'm pretty sure he's missing his brother...but I guess it's good to know he's not screaming in pain. Truly, best, healthiest cats.
My cat is also a vet office favorite. Not a ragdoll (miscellaneous domestic shorthair probably with some oriental in there), but a very chill, sweet, friendly, tolerant cat. In my family's 5 years of owning him so far, I've never heard him hiss or growl once. He's an absolute angel and I love him to pieces, and at least one vet tech has joked about stealing him.
I don’t think that she was too enthusiastic about being in her carrier. If she soiled it on her way in, it’s possibly an indication that travelling doesn’t agree with her. Bless her.
@@TV-8-301 There's a 'panting' quality to a stressed-purr. Almost like someone having a panic-attack, and that vocalisation that can occur (I'm medical, so I come across these things!)
@@dsmith5940seconding this description. I'm not medical, but can confirm my cats would stress-purr at the vet, and this is a good description. Happy purring has a dozing quality to it. Long, deep breaths.
Most of the purring we humans get to experience is "happy " purring. Purrs can help a cat not only to destress but to heal itself generally. Purrs are also beneficial to humans in a number of ways, making kitties phenomenal companions.
Her coat is called "Black Smoke"--isn't it gorgeous. I love it. That was a pleasure to watch. What a little doll. I find that afterwards cats actually love to be cleaned up, even having been shaved instead of bathed. They love the feeling of not being matted, and they enjoy cleaning themselves so much better because it's easier for them.
I took a little black smoke long-hair off the neighbor's farm a few weeks ago because his little eyes were stuck shut with eye goop. He's going to a a huge, gorgeous kitty and I hope I can find him a home soon because he's absolutely terrorizing my elderly cats.
One of the sweetest cats I ever had was a black smoke medium haired kitten I adopted from the pound. Sadly, he passed from FIP just six months later;shortest time that I've ever had a cat, but he was still one of the most memorable (current kitty is 19). RIP dear Atticus Pye!
I didn't know I needed this content in my life - Please keep on grooming cats and sharing it with us - it's sooooo good for us who can't have cats in our homes. Thanks for making me happy!!!!
I don't have a cat, don't look cat videos, yet this was in suggestions? Sure, why not... This is the best hangover content. What a lovely and well behaving Lady that cat was!
Not a single animal is easy to take care of... and should also never be underestimated because animal neglect is the most overlooked problem with cats... @@10DollarProductions
I don’t think so. Cats also purr to comfort themselves when they’re stressed, which is what I believe is happening here. The tail smacking the table shows her anxiety. Still a very sweet kitty.
@@lastfirst5863 true, most cats don't like anyone messing with their back and furiously hate the blower but let's be honest: the cat is too fat to care or put any real resistance...
That was one intelligent and trusting cat. The cat knew she was being helped, and sucked up the minor irritation of the work, for the long term payoff.
That purring is a 100% indicator the she absolutely loved the grooming and her laying on her side and showing her belly shows that she is definitely comfortable with you.
I feel like she loves brushing so much that she pays attention and knows when it was time to move to a new area. It almost looked like she was thinking about switching sides, right as you mentioned it, and then she gave you her belly at the right times too.
My Siamese when she was older used to get hairballs and mats and eventually it was easier to just shave her during the summer. She really liked one place I went to that would shave and leave about 1/2 an inch, kind of returning her to a shorthair, minus the mats and oily skin. Her mats would stay on top of her skin, though, so shaving under them was a snap.
Thank you for putting the mic up to her so we could hear her purr. My eldest kitty Loki adored being brushed and would purr just like her. Loki crossed the rainbow bridge a few weeks ago and it was deeply comforting to hear a purr that sounded so much like his. ❤
lol she was "nope, not getting in the box, you might brush some more". What a great cat. Mine loves brushing too, but gets excitable to the point of biteyness and that stops the brushing
@@robynhunter6718 My boy too (although you can't see it in this profile pic). When Francisco runs, it is magnificent, his fur creating an optical illusion.
I have a kitten with fur like that I'm trying to find a home for. I found him crying in the corner of my neighbor's barn with his eyes gooped shut. He's a holy terror now, but a very beautiful kitten.
@@El_Nombre-e3x imagine if you have fur like that all over you body, it would be much harder to scratch an itch through all of it. She must have dry/itchy skin because of that and it feels amazing to brush the itches away through all the fur.
My cat, who is mostly white, found a way to open the fireplace door and decided to change into a black cat. The amount of soot and charcoal that came off her was insane. I bathed her three times and it still took weeks for all the black to come off.
when I was around 2 years old, I did the same and to top it off, I proceeded to eat some of the charcoal. I'm told bathing me took awhile as well as cleaning my mouth out. perhaps I'm part cat 🤣
My black and white cat Hermione did the same. We were trying to capture her to take her to the vet, and she escaped into the fireplace. We hadn't used it in ages, so it wasn't hot at all, but it was still filled with ash. She was so dirty, she made little ashy paw prints on the exam table at the vet. Much to her displeasure, they offered to bathe her and we accepted. They did a pretty good job cleaning her up! XD
I had a pure white cat growing up named Spot. He got his name because he would sleep under my parents' cars and come out with black spots on his back 😂
@@niece7959 lol, yeah. She eat some of it too and then threw up black on the rug. It actually happened twice, cause I thought is was a fluke that she could open it the first time but she legitimately knows how. I had to board the opening up behind the glass.
My cat is like this too; she’s never once scratched, bitten, swiped, hissed, or growled at me. She won’t even play bite me. Super docile and kind. My favorite kind of cat!
My cat Oliver was like that too, with me. However, if anyone tried to mess with him when he was on my lap or shoulder, it was a different story. He would smack anyone who tried (no claws though. He was extremely good about not scratching people).
I had a red tabby maine coon girl who was like this too ❤️ so sweet, soft and never ever lashed out. She passed away from what was probably cancer a few years ago. Now I have a calico who is also very loving but if there is something she does not like, she becomes very spicy 😆😅 her vet say she is not surprised, calicos and tortise have a reputation for being sassy 😌
My darling Sami is the same - she's a rescue, amd she has never once scratched or bitten me...even when she has to get put on the cat carrier (which she hates with a vengeance), she doesn't turn on me. I sometimes wish she would, as she goes in to a bit of a freeze response at the vet. But i guess thats just her temperament- She's such a big lovebug and seeks affection to regulate her stress.
That purr! Such a good girl. I had a good boy once who let 10 vet students perform a full eye exam each, in a row without any complaint. But I can't imagine him being THIS good with a groomer.
My boy (who turns 15 today 🎂) got a large piece of hair stuck in his third eyelid. The vet had to practically waterboard him with the eye flush before it came loose, and he purred the whole time 😂
Yeah, my car does the same. She was a very fearful cat at the shelter. Like straight up shivering as she tries to wedge herself into a corner. But she would be purring when they grabbed her to pick her up.
It's a joy watching someone so calm, capable and professional, really relaxing. You do such an amazing job 👋🏼🏴 Used to have a short hair that would regularly shed a kittens worth of fur regularly - it must be itchy for them and feel so much better afterwards.
I agree, I'm a Canadian also from Windsor, Ont, and I think she is a very patient and wonderful person. Too bad Vanessa should contact Linda Blair's World Heart foundation, I think they would make a great team :)
@@cheolacarnitas2682 Don't you think that was just a bit of a petty comment? Like seriously...this person could be a Grandmother or an elderly person. Give this one a pass huh?
@@Nob-c3j oh it’s okay! The lol and the ❤️ at the end told me they were not being mean. Thank you so much for being someone who stands up for people though- there are some serious bullies out there. On the plus side I’m also not elderly yet 😜
I had a manx cat with spina bifida who loved to be brushed, because when she got old she could no longer do her grooming herself. Our daily brushing sessions were such a wonderful memory in her sunset of life. This reminds me of her so much. She would happily let me do anything so long as a slicker brush was involved! I miss my old lady! Thanks Vanessa! 💛💛💛💛
I am so sorry for your loss of your precious pet. I am glad that it sounds like you have come to a point where the grief of your loss has been out shadowed by the memories of the joyful times you shared! Hold all those beautiful memories close to your heart!!
I lost my cat back in March. She was just over 17 years old. Opened youtube and saw this cat that looked just like my cat and similar names. Ngl cried. So happy this cute sweetie got a good grooming session!
My little Khajiit (yes that’s her name) has the same adorable nearly perfectly silent purr. And she only does it during cuddle time so I know she means it. This cat was so well behaved
Good thing to know is that cats also pur to soothe themselves in a more stressful situation. The tail whacking tells me she is not to happy. But she is such a sweet and patient kitty!
My black cat whacked his tail nonstop, and he was just as loving. He would do it even when I was giving him his fav chin scratches and purring his heart out. It doesn’t always mean they’re mad 🤷🏼♀️
A lot of cats tail whack when they are excited too, in my experience. My cat loves butt pats and demands them but will whack his tail around while purring and raising his butt up for more
My old Ragdoll gentleman Finch (RIP!) used to LOVE being not only blown dry with the hairdryer but also being vacuumed with the crevice extension. Funny boy. The love of my life and I miss him every day. (Edit: randomly to Ragdoll)
Thank you for being so kind to kitties, sweetheart. They are so often misunderstood, and their hair care is so important to their self-respect and well-being. You are an angel to all animals ❤
That de-shedding comb has been an absolute game-changer for my two (short-hair and wildly shedding) cats and for friends. Our Vet actually said, earlier this year, that it's a big "shedding" year, and I could see it our new, tiny apartment. It's wonderful for my short-hairs. Thank you so, so much.
Yes, as a general thing. She didn't say why. I live in Western Massachusetts, so I don't know it this is a regional thing, or what. We did have some early warm weather, so I thought it might have to do with that!
And sorry - I realized that I bought the equigroomer, not the comb. My mama cat also purrs when I use that to brush her. Her son, Gracie-George (who is about 10 years old now), likes grooming as a form of attention, but he doesn't come and asked to be brushed the way his mama does.
My grandparents had a persian cat who wasn't cuddly (she would accept cuddles only from grandma) but looooved to be brushed by my grandfather once a day. She ran around his ankles screaming till he "made her pretty kitty" (which he always said while brushing her). After my grandparents were away on vacation 2 weeks I fed her and brushed her (since she was long haired, it really is necessary). After that vacation she wanted me to brush her, too. Everytime i visited. When I was at our grandtparent's before 3 p.m. she would demand brushing at 3 p.m. If I visited later she would demand brushing immediatly XD She was a beautiful cat that lived to be 19 (!) years old. We still miss her. Waiting for her to stroll around the corner. And she is gone for 8 years, I believe.
I'm only 60 years of age but I have taken in a lot of cats in my time. And I have never had a longhaired cat in my care. I say care because after having so many cats, I realized we don't own a cat. We are their caretakers and provider of food and comfort. "That's not a bad thing!"
Wow she’s so calm. I’ve had many cats in my life, none were ever that calm. One of my cats was a Maine Coon and he was the calmest, but he still complained loudly. My current cat SCREAMS when I give her a bath. I’m so glad my cat is a strictly indoor cat otherwise I would have to bathe her more. The first time I put her in a tub my neighbor came over to find out if I had hurt myself. She said she heard a woman screaming. Lol
Is she long haired? My cat loves going outside (safe area, also in the UK so not really any predators), and I've literally never had to bathe him, he doesn't smell like anything. We found him as a stray so I'm not totally sure how old he has but we've had him for at least 5 or 6 years now
I cannot believe how calm this beautiful kitty was! My Sir Jasper would have torn you to shreds… he,s fine with water, loves it actually, but turn the blow dryer on and he turns into a demonically possessed, Tasmanian Devil!!
My little Jester would leave us all bloodied with his lessons about what happens to anyone who displeases their ruler. Get an orange cat, they said. It'll be fun, they said. Sweet and derpy, made for snuggles, they said. Lies.
I’m glad my cat Buddy is able to keep himself pretty cause he HATES water if I took him into the bath it would look like that scene in Scarface in the bathroom.
So would my cats Silvia and Autumne, both of those two cats, dislike the noise of that too. That and the vacuum cleaner noises that the vacuum makes when being used.
Smartest kitty ever cooperating, purring, and thinking of all the hairballs she won't be having. So glad the himalayan cat we had when I was a kid liked being brushed and combed. We had a soft bristle brush for her face and whiskers, and a slicker brush and comb for the rest of her, she loved it.
Thank you for putting the mic in a place we could hear the purr! I lost my dearest baby Lucky 2 days ago at the grand age of 14, and her purr was also so deep. It made me feel better to hear that kinda purr again during this grieving period.
i've lost my cat who was 14, too. Been about 2 years now. I lost another cat of mine roughly about a year ago, he was 17. I'm sorry for your loss, I'm sure Lucky was the sweetest girl, and you gave her such an amazing life full of love and care. I know it hurts so deeply right now, the pain off loss doesn't ever truly go away, but it gets easier.. soon, instead of your heart being filled with pain and grief when you think of her, you'll remember her beautiful purr and all the silly things she used to do. Take care of yourself today, and tomorrow, and remember that Lucky would want you to take care of yourself just as good as you took care of her. Treat yourself today
Finally heard the purring at 14:10. OMG SHE LOVES THE PRINCESS TREATMENT! THATS SOOOOO CUTE! 💜💜SHE ENJOYS BEING GROOMED! 😳😳😍😍🤗🤗 THATS SO ADORABLE! A CAT! LOL WHO KNEW? 🤷🏿♀️🤣🤗💜
My cat has a love/hate relationship with being brushed… He enjoys it and purrs away like a little engine _right_ up until he turns around and tries to shred me 🤷🏻♀️😆
It could be possible that he purrs to better tolerate the stress of being brushed. It's hard to sometimes identify if cats purr from stress or happiness.
It's very possible he's getting overstimulated! For cats that are enjoying themselves and then suddenly "turn," I describe it like being tickled. It's not a bad sensation but at a certain point you get overwhelmed. I would recommend short brushing sessions or if you brush while they're in your lap [I do this with my overstimulated cat, to get him while he's relaxed], break up the brushing with 1-2 minute short breaks. Watch for his tail starting to flick/thrash, and for when the skin on his back jumps. Positive association with treats has also helped my cat a lot too!
Shed a few tears during this groom, musty reminds me so much of my baby Jenni who passed late last year. She has the sweetest temperament and would do anything for pets and cuddles. You could hear her purr from across the room. Mutsy is a good girl and looks so nice after her groom
This precious girl reminds me so much of my dearly departed Maleficent (Malfie) that passed away over a year ago. She was also a fluffy black cat and was very sweet and pretty tolerant of most things. Watching this cat be happy and pampered soothes a small ache in my heart, even though I know this isn't my girl.
The way she didn't wanna leave! She needed your help so bad, and was so grateful 🥺She must have been a pound lighter from all that shed XD What a cutie ❣
What a sweetheart. She loved that brush and comb, down to the skin getting rid of that itchy loose stuff, no wonder she was purring. She reminded me of one of my short hair cats, I only had to show him the brush and he'd race to the grooming table and stayed as long as I let him. Such a pleasure, unlike his sister.
Love this and the other channel! Vanessa is amazing with these animals. She educates the public and I really like her no-nonsense, straightforward approach.

Agreed. What a soothing sound. I could listen to it all day.
my eyes were literally closing, so relaxing
Purrfect
Stop throwing around "genius."
you could tell Moxy was in bliss- slitty eyes, biscuit making. I bet the brushing satisfied the itchiness from the dry skin.
She actually presented her belly to a stranger!! That really is a special cat! 😇

I am now imagining a void-black cat come out, weighing like 18 pounds, the most "I'm over it" look ever. After the DS3 boss music vocals, they just flop over onto their side and just look at you as if to say "Why haven't you started petting me yet?"

She seems like such a darling cat. You're lucky to have her.
Cats have this distinct "I'm drowning" meow. It's... adorable
I love the “please!!” 😭😭
Reminds me of a cat we had years ago. Jax was very vocal during bath time and would be spread eagle on the side of the tub yelling "Help", "Mom", and "No".
during the bathing part. I distinctly heard the "Im cold" meow.
Cats are very tonal communicators so it’s not implausible that a sympathetic meow back from the human is helping them

My cat purrs when being groomed but I can tell it's not a happy purr, it's a 'I can't help it' purr.
This sweet, beautiful girl is the definition of "Uncomfy, but dealing". I applaud her bravery. One thing I learned though my 30ish years of having kitties, is purring ~can~ be a sign of stress. The tail whaps were definitely showing she was less than thrilled, but I'm sure she is grateful for the makeover.
Cats often purr to calm themselves. She probably is a little anxious, but also seems to actually like being brushed. Such a sweetie!
Shw was totally digging it the way she had her head ^^
Nope, I'm sorry but I dont' agree. They might purr when anxious, they would never expose the belly though. Usually they'd purr but stay in what I call the "brick position", you wouldn't be able to budge them, let alone touch their belly! This was a very mild and well disposed cat.
Cats purr for a bunch of reasons! Self-soothing for mental stimuli is one reason, self-soothing for pain is another, happiness is another... In this case, I'd say she's happy.
my cat loves brushing so im sure this one did too
@@saix_unicornboothill pfp
I like that the owner asked what they could do better. People make mistakes or don’t know everything, and it’s good when they can admit it and want to improve.
People who accept and/or seek help from professionals for advice make the best pet owners.
@@obliviouschipmunk6539 Absolutely. ❤️
Yeah, because she’s not being taken care of the way a long haired cat should be. No offense to them.
@@KTlovesyou I am glad they were able to recognize that something wasn’t working and to ask though.
Idk, maybe they shouldn't let their cat get obese
My cat Ivan was this sweet, I could bathe him and brush him, in the end I had to shave areas. He lived to be 21 years old and passed over rainbow bridge last September. He also was a black cat with medium hair ...I miss him.
I'm sorry for your loss. Ivan sounded like a special boy.
:((
🌈✨
He'll be always with you 🌈💕
love that name...
I'm sorry I've not been here before but IS THAT A SOCK ON THE CATS HEAD?? Please I'm dying 😂 0:50
It's the "happy hoody"!😂 she puts them on the cats and dogs to protect their ears from the sounds/dryer but also provides comfort for them bc of the light pressure around their heads! Sometimes they like them and sometimes they don't
Happy hoodie, i also cracked up laughing when i first saw it. Usually it works!!
It's called a happy hoodie it helps the cats feel calm
I’ve been laughing for 5min now I’m dying
I just thought the cat had no ears and a tiny head😵💫 I’ll be fine…🤪
"Well, not bad at all. I'll add this human to the list of my servants!"🤪
@rome0610
"What? No treats?"
😂
😂🤣
😂😂
🫠🧡💚
Token protests and all, the little verbal pouting, all in all, she was an angel.
Amazing cat! If this was one of my cats, it would be climbing the walls and running out of the room!❤❤❤🙌🏻
at the end the kitty is like "why did you stop massaging me with your scratchy finger attachments???😢"
Yes! She was like, "why did you stop?" She wanted more brushies.
she LOVES being brushed!! what a sweet cat, i’m glad i got to see her being pampered and hope her owners can maintain her coat with what you taught in the video
I bet those brushes felt amazing on her itchy skin, she’s such a mellow baby!
It looked so soothing.
I'm in the middle of furiously packing up for a sudden move out of my apartment and I've stopped everything for a rejuvenating, de-stressing video of a purring cat getting groomed. I needed this!
I know! And it usually ends up with binging a couple of hours of YT and keeping you from getting something done that day 😁
Cats purring bring pure joy to the body and mind. I hope the pack/move went well! Good luck.
Get back to packing, its more important.
@@fricholas7608 Making progress!
That was genius of you to do that! Good for you for taking care of your mental health during stress.. I hate moving soo much.
I hope it all went smoothly and your comfy and settle into the new digs 🍀
This is the calmest cat I’ve ever seen. What a sweetie.
Ikr? Why would her owner not dedicate a few minutes/week to brush out some of that undercoat? What's the point of having her if you won't spend a little time caring for her?
@@opalsirius8484considering most people work full time jobs 6-7 days out of the week it might be hard to constantly be brushing her coat, and they may only be able to get around to it when she’s bathed sadly. it’s also hard to know if you’re getting everywhere and there may be spots you forget/accidentally go over
@@opalsirius8484 You’re absolutely right. I prefer shorthairs for this very reason. Longhairs are really pretty, but you really have to dedicate a chunk of your time to keep their coats clean and tidy.
@@Chrryc0la Great point. Longhairs need more maintenance and grooming. Prospective cat owners need to take that into account 😊
@@veralindqvist3944 yup!! I think that's what a lot of people fail to figure out is just how much maintenance a longer haired cat is😅 like I have a short hair and she literally requires no grooming what so ever bc she's still young so she doesn't struggle to do it on her own yet
What a gentle soul. She reminds me of my dad’s cat Molly, just the sweetest black cat ever. My parents were both dog people before they met Molly, but she was so wonderful she converted them both and we have had cats ever since!
You can tell the owners of this cat are probably kind and calm.
But they need to get a brush for the kitty:) i actually enjoy brushing my cats and they love brushing too, so we have these special moments, it’s like a SPA ritual, they come for the brush when I show it to them:)
every cat is different, i'd consider myself calm but my cat has been crazy since the moment i got her
Cats have different personalities and backgrounds. It doesn't matter how calm the owner is if their cat is a traumatized rescue cat.
@@Lumaflare That's true. But a calm cat is usually from a calm home.
We have a really calm home but just one cat is calm.
One is a rescue cat and is really friendly but mostly because he is scared.
The other is also friendly but a little crazy crack head.
I foster rescue cats, literally every cat has a different personality.
There are cats out of really bad homes that are really calm and friendly and one that’s not.
Did anyone else notice that this kitty is dying her gray hair black so she can look younger? 😁
I love those smokey colors. They're so cool looking. Tie-dye cat
😂😂😂
😂😂
That's that gorgeous double coat at work ☺️ I think her specific coloration actually has a name but it won't come to mind at the moment.
😂😂😂😂
My vet was downright confused by my 13yo ragdoll. He was chill, enjoying his pumpkin hoodie and was calmed by me holding his face 😂 when he had to get blood drawn. He slept for an hour waiting on his appointment after a mean dog lol. Came back with the vitals of a cat half his age, so not only healthy but crowned the Vet’s office’s favorite. The entire 10 person staff at the office dropped into his room to see him bc he was so friendly and handsome that they called each other by to say hi 😂❤Favorite part of his appointment was when she tried to give him treats I told her that my cat didn’t give a fluff about those and just handed him to her like some toy 🤣 She took the cat and was baffled I just did that and he didn’t care 🔥
Ragdolls are the nicest cats, I've loved every one I've met
We have a ragdoll as well. She's not that well behaved with groomers and vets. She's not a loving, cuddly type, she's extremely playful instead. I am a little jealous, but I love her anyway.
My Maine Coon was the same way. He charmed every vet and tech who saw him!
I have a Ragdoll, too. His brother just passed 😢, but he was 17 1/2, and still was pretty, and loved to love...he definitely was hurting his last few days, but he still took time to groom his bro. He purred right up to his last breath--literally.
So now we just have the one, MeMe (because it's all about him, all the time.) He isn't the brightest bulb, and he will fight the bath (in fact, for a not very bright cat, he's quite resourceful.) According to the vet, we likely have several more years with this one, if his senior kitty labs/tests are any indication. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about this, as he is incredibly vocal, and I'm pretty sure he's missing his brother...but I guess it's good to know he's not screaming in pain.
Truly, best, healthiest cats.
My cat is also a vet office favorite. Not a ragdoll (miscellaneous domestic shorthair probably with some oriental in there), but a very chill, sweet, friendly, tolerant cat. In my family's 5 years of owning him so far, I've never heard him hiss or growl once. He's an absolute angel and I love him to pieces, and at least one vet tech has joked about stealing him.
I can’t stand how good she is!!!😭 Angel baby!!!
I loved how at the end she wasn't eager to get back in the carrier. It had a "Are we done already? You can brush me more, you know!" vibe to it. ❤
She is beautiful!
I don’t think that she was too enthusiastic about being in her carrier. If she soiled it on her way in, it’s possibly an indication that travelling doesn’t agree with her. Bless her.
@@chrisberry9017 Yes, that was my first thot: YIKES! Not back in that stinky cage again with all my clean fur! Peee- ooo!
Probably smells better out 😂
“do i really need to get back in the stink chamber?”
I know cats can purr when they are stressed, but that’s ‘happy’ purring lol. So cute
I didn’t know this!
Does happy purring sound different than stressed purring?
@@TV-8-301 There's a 'panting' quality to a stressed-purr. Almost like someone having a panic-attack, and that vocalisation that can occur (I'm medical, so I come across these things!)
@@dsmith5940seconding this description. I'm not medical, but can confirm my cats would stress-purr at the vet, and this is a good description.
Happy purring has a dozing quality to it. Long, deep breaths.
Most of the purring we humans get to experience is "happy " purring. Purrs can help a cat not only to destress but to heal itself generally. Purrs are also beneficial to humans in a number of ways, making kitties phenomenal companions.
Her coat is called "Black Smoke"--isn't it gorgeous. I love it. That was a pleasure to watch. What a little doll. I find that afterwards cats actually love to be cleaned up, even having been shaved instead of bathed. They love the feeling of not being matted, and they enjoy cleaning themselves so much better because it's easier for them.
I took a little black smoke long-hair off the neighbor's farm a few weeks ago because his little eyes were stuck shut with eye goop. He's going to a a huge, gorgeous kitty and I hope I can find him a home soon because he's absolutely terrorizing my elderly cats.
One of the sweetest cats I ever had was a black smoke medium haired kitten I adopted from the pound. Sadly, he passed from FIP just six months later;shortest time that I've ever had a cat, but he was still one of the most memorable (current kitty is 19). RIP dear Atticus Pye!
@@LadyIarConnachtWhere are you located?
Our Chewie was a black smoke and he was the sweetest most amazing cat . We miss him every day still. 🐈🪽
Thats what my kitty looks like! People always want to take him home because hes also huge. 🤣@@GingerPeacenik
I didn't know I needed this content in my life - Please keep on grooming cats and sharing it with us - it's sooooo good for us who can't have cats in our homes. Thanks for making me happy!!!!
Her coming out of the cage reminds me of the river spirit from Spirited Away.
yes!!!!!!!
Oh my god, that's so true!
hahaha I had to go back and watch it again now that you said that, and i will never unsee it
Omg I actually thought of howl from howl's moving castle when he's in his bird form really affected by the curse. But this also fits!
Omg I love studio ghibli more than Disney! Have any of you seen the boy and the heron yet?
I don't have a cat, don't look cat videos, yet this was in suggestions? Sure, why not... This is the best hangover content. What a lovely and well behaving Lady that cat was!
Get one! They are easy to take care of and awesome companions.
Not a single animal is easy to take care of... and should also never be underestimated because animal neglect is the most overlooked problem with cats... @@10DollarProductions
Easy to take care of, but somehow needy at the same time lol
also on hangover rn i watched the all thing lol
@@K1NG5L3Y. They just love you too.
The deshedding groom must've felt so good and she really liked it. The purring was lovely to hear.
It depends because a deep purr can also signal stress
@@vanilla5245 with the context of how calm and accepting i woud say its more likely an enduring purring
she looked so much more comfortable and happy once she got groomed ❤🥺
That PURR!!!! Oh my heart! Such a sweet sweet kitty! She is loving this brushing!
She is so adorable 🥰
I don’t think so. Cats also purr to comfort themselves when they’re stressed, which is what I believe is happening here. The tail smacking the table shows her anxiety. Still a very sweet kitty.
@@lastfirst5863 true, most cats don't like anyone messing with their back and furiously hate the blower but let's be honest: the cat is too fat to care or put any real resistance...
@@giornikitop5373 True enough. She tried meowing and she’s all out of ideas.
She is for sure enjoying it! ❤
She was like you said you could brush me all day why are you pushing me in the cage. lol
That was one intelligent and trusting cat. The cat knew she was being helped, and sucked up the minor irritation of the work, for the long term payoff.
imo, cats are the smartest animals because they stuck with us and in return for purring and looking cute, they get 5 star treatment.
That purring is a 100% indicator the she absolutely loved the grooming and her laying on her side and showing her belly shows that she is definitely comfortable with you.
I feel like she loves brushing so much that she pays attention and knows when it was time to move to a new area. It almost looked like she was thinking about switching sides, right as you mentioned it, and then she gave you her belly at the right times too.
My Siamese when she was older used to get hairballs and mats and eventually it was easier to just shave her during the summer. She really liked one place I went to that would shave and leave about 1/2 an inch, kind of returning her to a shorthair, minus the mats and oily skin. Her mats would stay on top of her skin, though, so shaving under them was a snap.
One of the rare cat’s whose face says, “it can’t be over yet?” 😂❤️
Yeah she did. "But I didn't want to go back in my carrier. More please?"
bet she really felt good getting all those old dead hairs brushed out, making her skin feel better also -
Yeah she turned her head to check if she really *needs* to go back in the box. Like " Come on, do I really have to? Are you sure?"
Thank you for putting the mic up to her so we could hear her purr. My eldest kitty Loki adored being brushed and would purr just like her. Loki crossed the rainbow bridge a few weeks ago and it was deeply comforting to hear a purr that sounded so much like his. ❤
rest in peace loki!!!
@@tsoiyuz thank you ❤️
Did Spicy Mayo die? 😢
So sorry for your loss. 😞
@@cherylgraves7382 thank you ♥
06:13 Cutaneous horn growth.😮 I've had this on one or two of my cats and I never knew what it was. Thank you for explaining that.
lol she was "nope, not getting in the box, you might brush some more". What a great cat. Mine loves brushing too, but gets excitable to the point of biteyness and that stops the brushing
Love how she is a black cat but the undercoat is white. A pure angel 😇
My boy and my friend's girl (sister to mine) are like that too. It's called "smoke black" 😃
@@robynhunter6718 My boy too (although you can't see it in this profile pic). When Francisco runs, it is magnificent, his fur creating an optical illusion.
And most of what she’d was grey- she came in much more salt and pepper and she left mostly black!
I have a kitten with fur like that I'm trying to find a home for. I found him crying in the corner of my neighbor's barn with his eyes gooped shut. He's a holy terror now, but a very beautiful kitten.
What a beautiful and good kitty! ♥️
16:27 how she pushed her head up to the brush that girl was LOVING it lmao
also the carrier was cleaned right? DX
Really? It looked painful
@@El_Nombre-e3xits easy if you see her body language:) she was probably happy
@@El_Nombre-e3x imagine if you have fur like that all over you body, it would be much harder to scratch an itch through all of it. She must have dry/itchy skin because of that and it feels amazing to brush the itches away through all the fur.
Don't feed the bots guys (Zebe), and yes, that's one happy girl, much better behaved than mine who gets way too excited and starts biting the brush
This is the most chill cat I‘ve EVER seen. Such a sweety and so well behaved! Mudsy (?) deserves some treats and cuddles after that😊❤
My cat, who is mostly white, found a way to open the fireplace door and decided to change into a black cat. The amount of soot and charcoal that came off her was insane. I bathed her three times and it still took weeks for all the black to come off.
when I was around 2 years old, I did the same and to top it off, I proceeded to eat some of the charcoal. I'm told bathing me took awhile as well as cleaning my mouth out. perhaps I'm part cat 🤣
My black and white cat Hermione did the same. We were trying to capture her to take her to the vet, and she escaped into the fireplace. We hadn't used it in ages, so it wasn't hot at all, but it was still filled with ash. She was so dirty, she made little ashy paw prints on the exam table at the vet. Much to her displeasure, they offered to bathe her and we accepted. They did a pretty good job cleaning her up! XD
Too funny.
I had a pure white cat growing up named Spot. He got his name because he would sleep under my parents' cars and come out with black spots on his back 😂
@@niece7959 lol, yeah. She eat some of it too and then threw up black on the rug. It actually happened twice, cause I thought is was a fluke that she could open it the first time but she legitimately knows how. I had to board the opening up behind the glass.
My Domestic Black Longhair named Midnight just passed away early this morning. She was so calm/gentle in her 2.5 year on earth. Missed her already 😔
So young. I'm so sorry. I lost a cat at a young age too due to a genetic issue. Sending hugs.
My condolences for your loss.
I'm sorry.
Sending sympathy.
I am so sorry 😢 be strong ❤
My cat is like this too; she’s never once scratched, bitten, swiped, hissed, or growled at me. She won’t even play bite me. Super docile and kind. My favorite kind of cat!
My cat Oliver was like that too, with me. However, if anyone tried to mess with him when he was on my lap or shoulder, it was a different story. He would smack anyone who tried (no claws though. He was extremely good about not scratching people).
@@parkerbrown-nesbit1747When on his favourite hooman it's him time! No one else!
I had a red tabby maine coon girl who was like this too ❤️ so sweet, soft and never ever lashed out. She passed away from what was probably cancer a few years ago.
Now I have a calico who is also very loving but if there is something she does not like, she becomes very spicy 😆😅 her vet say she is not surprised, calicos and tortise have a reputation for being sassy 😌
My darling Sami is the same - she's a rescue, amd she has never once scratched or bitten me...even when she has to get put on the cat carrier (which she hates with a vengeance), she doesn't turn on me. I sometimes wish she would, as she goes in to a bit of a freeze response at the vet. But i guess thats just her temperament- She's such a big lovebug and seeks affection to regulate her stress.
The hair it just... It just keeps coming, it's infinite. How?
That purr! Such a good girl. I had a good boy once who let 10 vet students perform a full eye exam each, in a row without any complaint. But I can't imagine him being THIS good with a groomer.
My boy (who turns 15 today 🎂) got a large piece of hair stuck in his third eyelid. The vet had to practically waterboard him with the eye flush before it came loose, and he purred the whole time 😂
I love that she references mayo the cat and we ALL know who she's talking about 🤣💜
This lovely baby is the anti-Mayo, LOL!
Ah, rest in peace, Mayo.
yeah he is a star in this channel
@@Peannluioh no Mayo died 😢
@@Peannlui no. Don't say it. 😢

Cats purr to self south. I've never had a cat this mellow, well done Mutsy. I think you had enough fur to make her a kitten.
Source: Trust me bro
Yeah, my car does the same. She was a very fearful cat at the shelter. Like straight up shivering as she tries to wedge herself into a corner. But she would be purring when they grabbed her to pick her up.
Self south
Self soothe
@@KayButtonJay bro Google is free
It's a joy watching someone so calm, capable and professional, really relaxing. You do such an amazing job 👋🏼🏴 Used to have a short hair that would regularly shed a kittens worth of fur regularly - it must be itchy for them and feel so much better afterwards.
The moment she came out of her carrier with her tail sticking up like that, you could just tell how friendly a kitty she is! What a sweetie! 😽
I was confused by the thumbnail of a black cat and a white pile of fur next to it. Her two-tone coat is wild! 😍
I love that you help out people who can’t afford care for their pets with complimentary grooms. You’re a good person.
I agree, I'm a Canadian also from Windsor, Ont, and I think she is a very patient and wonderful person. Too bad Vanessa should contact Linda Blair's World Heart foundation, I think they would make a great team :)

there are purring loops on youtube 😄
that was a very large calm but mildly digruntled lump fluff. adorkable
My heart swells
I had a manx cat with spina bifida who loved to be brushed, because when she got old she could no longer do her grooming herself. Our daily brushing sessions were such a wonderful memory in her sunset of life. This reminds me of her so much. She would happily let me do anything so long as a slicker brush was involved! I miss my old lady! Thanks Vanessa! 💛💛💛💛
I am so sorry for your loss of your precious pet. I am glad that it sounds like you have come to a point where the grief of your loss has been out shadowed by the memories of the joyful times you shared! Hold all those beautiful memories close to your heart!!
I had a manx too! He loved being brushed as well! Very friendly cats
My mom also brushes her cat every morning. She get really upset if she forgets
I lost my cat back in March. She was just over 17 years old. Opened youtube and saw this cat that looked just like my cat and similar names. Ngl cried. So happy this cute sweetie got a good grooming session!
My little Khajiit (yes that’s her name) has the same adorable nearly perfectly silent purr. And she only does it during cuddle time so I know she means it. This cat was so well behaved
As long as you give her the skooma.
Love the name.
m'aiq would've been even better
Does she have wares if you have coin? 😂
Good thing to know is that cats also pur to soothe themselves in a more stressful situation. The tail whacking tells me she is not to happy. But she is such a sweet and patient kitty!
My black cat whacked his tail nonstop, and he was just as loving. He would do it even when I was giving him his fav chin scratches and purring his heart out. It doesn’t always mean they’re mad 🤷🏼♀️
A lot of cats tail whack when they are excited too, in my experience. My cat loves butt pats and demands them but will whack his tail around while purring and raising his butt up for more
진실
Yeah, that is good thing for every cat owner to know. Both stress or pain can be reasons why a cat purrs.
I was hoping someone would mention this. Thank you!
When you asked did you pee and she meowed it sounded like she said yeah. It was a very different meow from the others lol
She’s adorable!
thank you so much for giving her the mic i’m crying
My old Ragdoll gentleman Finch (RIP!) used to LOVE being not only blown dry with the hairdryer but also being vacuumed with the crevice extension. Funny boy. The love of my life and I miss him every day. (Edit: randomly to Ragdoll)
I feel you, I miss my big fluffy Ginger boy's quirks every day!
That little "mmRPOÒww" in the tub was so unbelievably cute
Thank you for being so kind to kitties, sweetheart. They are so often misunderstood, and their hair care is so important to their self-respect and well-being. You are an angel to all animals ❤
That de-shedding comb has been an absolute game-changer for my two (short-hair and wildly shedding) cats and for friends. Our Vet actually said, earlier this year, that it's a big "shedding" year, and I could see it our new, tiny apartment. It's wonderful for my short-hairs. Thank you so, so much.
I'm so glad to hear this. My cats are shedding like crazy and I couldn't figure out why! Thank you for posting this!
As in a general thing across spieces? Did s/he say why that is? Because that is intriguing!
@@samma6652Same. Mine is shedding SO MUCH.
Yes, as a general thing. She didn't say why. I live in Western Massachusetts, so I don't know it this is a regional thing, or what. We did have some early warm weather, so I thought it might have to do with that!
And sorry - I realized that I bought the equigroomer, not the comb. My mama cat also purrs when I use that to brush her. Her son, Gracie-George (who is about 10 years old now), likes grooming as a form of attention, but he doesn't come and asked to be brushed the way his mama does.
My grandparents had a persian cat who wasn't cuddly (she would accept cuddles only from grandma) but looooved to be brushed by my grandfather once a day. She ran around his ankles screaming till he "made her pretty kitty" (which he always said while brushing her). After my grandparents were away on vacation 2 weeks I fed her and brushed her (since she was long haired, it really is necessary). After that vacation she wanted me to brush her, too. Everytime i visited. When I was at our grandtparent's before 3 p.m. she would demand brushing at 3 p.m. If I visited later she would demand brushing immediatly XD She was a beautiful cat that lived to be 19 (!) years old. We still miss her. Waiting for her to stroll around the corner. And she is gone for 8 years, I believe.
Omgggg I died when I saw her in the happy hoodie 🤣😂. Her tiny little head
…i have absolutely no idea how i ended here, but it’s majestic, i need more now
I'm only 60 years of age but I have taken in a lot of cats in my time. And I have never had a longhaired cat in my care. I say care because after having so many cats, I realized we don't own a cat. We are their caretakers and provider of food and comfort. "That's not a bad thing!"
Only?
@@oscarm5965Wow LOL😭😭😭😭
@@oscarm5965Cmon man
Bless you for taking care of so many cats! Love your energy! ☺
Thank you ❤ I do not own my cat any more than I would own a kid of mine. I am his guardian. That cat is my son
Wow she’s so calm. I’ve had many cats in my life, none were ever that calm. One of my cats was a Maine Coon and he was the calmest, but he still complained loudly. My current cat SCREAMS when I give her a bath. I’m so glad my cat is a strictly indoor cat otherwise I would have to bathe her more. The first time I put her in a tub my neighbor came over to find out if I had hurt myself. She said she heard a woman screaming. Lol
Mine sounds like a young toddler screaming bloody murder. How little lungs manage something so loud I'll never know
Is she long haired? My cat loves going outside (safe area, also in the UK so not really any predators), and I've literally never had to bathe him, he doesn't smell like anything. We found him as a stray so I'm not totally sure how old he has but we've had him for at least 5 or 6 years now
It's lovely of your neighbour to check on you though! 😊
How can u resist giving her a hug
What an adorable fuzzball after the blow-dry. Amazing to see her so cooperative, i think she was just waiting for the brush again
I was told by a vet years ago that purring is often done to calm itself. ❤
Yup "self-soothing"
Yeah I read that purring is why cats heal faster than dogs after surgery because they have the ability to self soothe with the purring
There's a cat who loves her pampering spa day. What an amazingly sweet and beautiful kitty.
I cannot believe how calm this beautiful kitty was! My Sir Jasper would have torn you to shreds… he,s fine with water, loves it actually, but turn the blow dryer on and he turns into a demonically possessed, Tasmanian Devil!!
My little Jester would leave us all bloodied with his lessons about what happens to anyone who displeases their ruler.
Get an orange cat, they said. It'll be fun, they said. Sweet and derpy, made for snuggles, they said. Lies.
@@AllTheHappySquirrels 😂😂😂😂
I’m glad my cat Buddy is able to keep himself pretty cause he HATES water if I took him into the bath it would look like that scene in Scarface in the bathroom.
My cat Asher nailed my vet. We had to give him some sedatives so he could get his shots and annual checkup.
So would my cats Silvia and Autumne, both of those two cats, dislike the noise of that too. That and the vacuum cleaner noises that the vacuum makes when being used.
What a sweetheart! So well behaved! Loved hearing her purring through the mic very relaxing. Thank you :)
So comfy and relaxed that she even loafed. What a chill kitty.
The mixed messages: I’m gonna whip my tail so you know I don’t like brushing, but I’m gonna purr loudly because it feels so gooooood.
Some cats purr when they're stressed to self-sooth.
My cats would give a tail whip or a quick non-bite mouthing to let me know, 'That spot is getting sore, move on."
My cats whip their tails when angry but also when happy
Strikes me as very much a "I appreciate the grooming but you're still a stranger and I'm nervous - keep it up. carefully." display.
Cats also tail whip when overstimulated. I imagine brushing does just that, no matter how much they enjoy it
The purring made me giggle. It must’ve felt like the best spa day ever, you got all the right spots. What a sweet girl.
My cat does well at the vet and others, just not me. What a good kitty the one you are grooming!!! 🙏💗
Smartest kitty ever cooperating, purring, and thinking of all the hairballs she won't be having. So glad the himalayan cat we had when I was a kid liked being brushed and combed. We had a soft bristle brush for her face and whiskers, and a slicker brush and comb for the rest of her, she loved it.
"You want back in your house?"
NO! I want more brushie!
“No, it smells like pee in there.”
Thank you for putting the mic in a place we could hear the purr! I lost my dearest baby Lucky 2 days ago at the grand age of 14, and her purr was also so deep. It made me feel better to hear that kinda purr again during this grieving period.
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss 💙
I am so very sorry for your loss. Gentle hugs to you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how difficult that is. Take care.
Sorry for your loss
i've lost my cat who was 14, too. Been about 2 years now. I lost another cat of mine roughly about a year ago, he was 17. I'm sorry for your loss, I'm sure Lucky was the sweetest girl, and you gave her such an amazing life full of love and care. I know it hurts so deeply right now, the pain off loss doesn't ever truly go away, but it gets easier.. soon, instead of your heart being filled with pain and grief when you think of her, you'll remember her beautiful purr and all the silly things she used to do. Take care of yourself today, and tomorrow, and remember that Lucky would want you to take care of yourself just as good as you took care of her. Treat yourself today
Mitsy was purring a G note, which the frequency is said to relieve stress; makes sense! You did an amazing job ❤
Vanessa liked this cat so much that she didn't even fat shame her.
Finally heard the purring at 14:10. OMG SHE LOVES THE PRINCESS TREATMENT! THATS SOOOOO CUTE! 💜💜SHE ENJOYS BEING GROOMED! 😳😳😍😍🤗🤗 THATS SO ADORABLE! A CAT! LOL WHO KNEW? 🤷🏿♀️🤣🤗💜
My cat has a love/hate relationship with being brushed… He enjoys it and purrs away like a little engine _right_ up until he turns around and tries to shred me 🤷🏻♀️😆
Overstimulated maybe. Billispeaks had a great video on it
It could be possible that he purrs to better tolerate the stress of being brushed. It's hard to sometimes identify if cats purr from stress or happiness.
This my cat too! I always have my guard up just in case
It's very possible he's getting overstimulated! For cats that are enjoying themselves and then suddenly "turn," I describe it like being tickled. It's not a bad sensation but at a certain point you get overwhelmed. I would recommend short brushing sessions or if you brush while they're in your lap [I do this with my overstimulated cat, to get him while he's relaxed], break up the brushing with 1-2 minute short breaks. Watch for his tail starting to flick/thrash, and for when the skin on his back jumps. Positive association with treats has also helped my cat a lot too!
Sounds like over stimulation.
Shed a few tears during this groom, musty reminds me so much of my baby Jenni who passed late last year. She has the sweetest temperament and would do anything for pets and cuddles. You could hear her purr from across the room. Mutsy is a good girl and looks so nice after her groom
I am very sorry for your loss. Sending hugs.
This precious girl reminds me so much of my dearly departed Maleficent (Malfie) that passed away over a year ago. She was also a fluffy black cat and was very sweet and pretty tolerant of most things. Watching this cat be happy and pampered soothes a small ache in my heart, even though I know this isn't my girl.
Sorry for the loss of your fur baby ❤
reminds me of my dearly departed black cat, too. so sweet and gentle, never scratched a soul and loved by the vets🥹 how lucky this cats owners are!
The way she didn't wanna leave! She needed your help so bad, and was so grateful 🥺She must have been a pound lighter from all that shed XD
What a cutie ❣
What a sweetheart. She loved that brush and comb, down to the skin getting rid of that itchy loose stuff, no wonder she was purring. She reminded me of one of my short hair cats, I only had to show him the brush and he'd race to the grooming table and stayed as long as I let him. Such a pleasure, unlike his sister.
Love this and the other channel! Vanessa is amazing with these animals. She educates the public and I really like her no-nonsense, straightforward approach.
