Basil has faced many trials and tribulations in his quest to reclaim Chair Mountain. However, after defeating O'at'meal of the Shamp'oo tribe, he stands one step closer to completing his quest.
@jack thursby I think the current problem is the time it takes to make them by hand and the cost involved means I'm stuck in a state of make and sell to get the money to work on the next one.
He really is a patient cat! I guess that is partly due to his personality, but also due to the relationship that you've got with him! He obviously trusts you heaps! Very real and very informative video! Thank You for taking the time to reveal this information! I really appreciated it! I was actually waiting for Basil to draw blood, but he remained a gentleman, and only made that very measured & respectful protest! Good onya both! 😉🏆🥇
Thank you for the video. I am about to bath my cat for the first time and I am going to need all the help I can get. Basil is such a good boy and you are make a good daddy too.
When I had a cat I would only do this about twice a year. I use less tub water a bucket a cup. I use the cup to pour water on the cat for wetting and rinsing. I use less tub water so I can soap their paws and belly.
The furminator is for deshedding. If you want to get matts out, you can try using a plastic comb (so it has some flex, and doesn't rip the fur out), or a quiet hair trimmer. Both options go over well with my cats.
he is such a smiley chubful little guy I've only given my big chunks one bath, did a similar technique with the pre-filled bath, since Peter is a very large thing I was worried about managing her from outside the tub, so I just held her and sat in the bath. She didn't love it, but she didn't fight at all and was just a dejected big wet fuzz. I thought I was going to get hurt for it but no, just sadgirl cries. She actually wasn't angry with me at all after and spent the rest of the day proudly re-cleaning herself on the bed beside my desk. An exceptionally good fluff
My cat heard this video/Basil protesting and came running in from the other room like it was the end of days. Pretty sure it was a show of solidarity and emotional support.
Oh yeah, that’s right; you don’t get frequent rain storm in which your cat gets caught in and then comes back looking like a drowned rat which I towel dry. I also use the Furminator de-shedding brush
Day 1 update: Basil appears to be doing pushups Day 40 update: Basil basil went from 50kg to 50kg but now he's all muscle Day 45 update: Basil has started digging hole in the back garden no more updates
You might have to start a Basil & Lemon Instagram. We bathed our old cat around every 2-3 months. Used the on/off shower head, wrapped her in a towel and blow dried afterward. Then she would clean herself for hours afterward and cough up big hairballs for a couple days. She hated it until it didn't happen. We moved in a short period and she didn't get a bath for almost 6 months. One day she just jumped in the tub and waited. Of course she complained the whole time then as well.
I have a British shorthaired cat, and for some reason his hair is matted. I don't know where to take him to get it unmarred his hair was matted when I got him.
Was anyone else expecting this to play out like that deleted scene from Spartacus? Pete: Some prefer meat, some prefer potatoes... Basil: ... Pete: My tastes include meat _and_ potatoes... Basil: (sweating nervously)
During the first 120 seconds of this vid Basil is looking around like he is thinking 'wait a minute'. Question for Pete; is it harder to sharpen Maxamet or harder to given Basil a bath?
:3 Compared to most cats, Basil takes his bath with little protest! I had to give Alan Purring (an exotic shorthair) a bath early on in life and he had an absolute panic. Mmm, basil-infused water.
Really can't believe it was possible at all and that easy. My cat turns into a cartoon tasmanian devil tornado if just a few drops from cleaned bowl hits it.
Well the more you try to shave the cat, the more the thing will bite and scratch. It's best I think to leave it's fur and listen to it's silky purr. So sayeth the great prophet McCrea 🍰
I mean, I always just wore thick long sleeves while bathing my nearly 10 kilo Siamese, but I guess if I had zero foresight whatsoever then your method would probably have been my method, too...
@@CNYKnifeNerd My cat is 90 pounds and eats raw coffee grounds and has a nasty meth habit. I raised him on hate, adrenaline, and filter-less Camel cigarettes. He can beat your cat. I use him to get rid of stray kids who wander into my neighborhood. Sooooo there ya go, Karen.
sometimes they get matts that form due to food spillage in areas they cant reach, which actually would require shaving or intensive brushing to remove. A very occasional bath sets a lot of that stuff right
Witchcraft. My kitten is panicking if you even get him damp with your hands. Full on fight once serious water is involved. Need to hold by the scruff of the neck the whole way through.
The fact that I watched and enjoyed all 17 minutes of this even though I don't own a cat
I gave my cat a bath once. I couldn’t stand all the hair on my tongue.
You mate are funny
More proof if it was needed that basil is the most chill cat.
Basil has faced many trials and tribulations in his quest to reclaim Chair Mountain. However, after defeating O'at'meal of the Shamp'oo tribe, he stands one step closer to completing his quest.
This is OK, but I still don't know how much sisal rope Basil will cut before blunting.
Love the Maynard scream at the end. Subbed for rope cuts, stayed for the obscure, disheveled uploads.
My cat glanced at this video then at me with a look full of dire implications.
That moment when you realize you like a knife reviewer so much that you'll watch a 17 minute video of him bathing a cat...a beautiful cat mind you...
I just watched the mad scientist from the knife lab wash a cat. What's wrong with me? Basil was pretty calm, just some verbal protests.
Come the Kitty Revolution, you’ll be first up against the wall.....
lol
I also appreciated that you have a finishing hone for your cat.
I can’t believe how different he looks with a wet face!! Best cat ever! Lemon isn’t too bad either 😊
ASMR Basil gets a bath
@jack thursby I think the current problem is the time it takes to make them by hand and the cost involved means I'm stuck in a state of make and sell to get the money to work on the next one.
@jack thursby exactly haha
Much like my British Blue when he was alive, when they're washed, they're actually quite skinny. Goes to show how plush/thick their fur is.
I'm watching a cat take a bath. Why am I watching a cat take a bath? I stayed for the whole thing.
He's so chonky. I love him so much, my favorite cat on TH-cam.
If I tried that with my Dougal, I’d have no skin left, and I’d need a blood transfusion! Basil is a very good boy!
I have a cat named Dougal, too!
Wasnt ready for the ending 🤣
He really is a patient cat! I guess that is partly due to his personality, but also due to the relationship that you've got with him! He obviously trusts you heaps!
Very real and very informative video!

My gosh, that is one cute cat! I love him.
Me at 5am in the Eastern US: fuck, I should really sleep at least a few hours...
Pete in Fucking Australia: G'day, mate. One more vid on the barby.
He is one hell of a handsome cat!
Can't wait to see Basil do the silly walk!
He’s so pissed! He’s being such a good boy! Dude, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Basil was giving his review as well! Thank you!
He's way more tolerant than my cat would be. Might be because Basil looks to be a bit tubby.
Basil’s bathing show😍
We come for the sisal rope but we stay for the cat.
That bonus footage 😂
That is a very very sweet kitty cat. Lovely.
Such a fantastic cat!
Beautiful cat man. Great meow as well. My old black n white used to go swimming with me.

At what degree do you mirror polish his claws?
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣 The end was hilarious, your other cat had his turn also❤️
Absolutely the best video title that has ever existed 👏
Basil and Bricky will form an alliance and plot against you; watch your back
Double thumbs up for the hilarious ending :-)
Hard to believe there's a cat under all that fur! 👍❤️😎
he is such a smiley chubful little guy

Basil looks like a normal cat when soaked, while normal cats look like one of those poor hairless abominations.
Living The Dream loool
My cat heard this video/Basil protesting and came running in from the other room like it was the end of days. Pretty sure it was a show of solidarity and emotional support.
Mine too!
Perfect bundle of joy
Such a precious chonk! 🥰

Its the chris reeve sebenza of pet brushes
Basil is an absolute gentleman
Hes such a heccin CHONKER! Love basil :3
absolutely brill, piglet next please.
Day 1 update: Basil appears to be doing pushups
Day 40 update: Basil basil went from 50kg to 50kg but now he's all muscle
Day 45 update: Basil has started digging hole in the back garden
no more updates
Very aggressively done, got soap in his left eye
He sound like a two year old yelling NOOOOOOO!
I find it easier to use a plastic cup to rinse the cat off and get them wet on their back and head. It works well for rinsing too.
So cute cat , bathed he did not run, very sweet, I like your cat bro

My British shorthair cats don’t like being held. They are 1.5 y/o right now. Basil seems to let you pick him up. Was he always like that?
I have a British shorthaired cat, and for some reason his hair is matted. I don't know where to take him to get it unmarred his hair was matted when I got him.
FYI. Basil just put Pete's knife collection up for sale. Cheap.
Such a cooooool cat!

Lemon Bath > Maxamet > Basil Bath
good way to get scratched. lol geez its funny
I used to have a cat that would get in the bathtub with me and swim around. Her name was Mooshka and she loved to swim.
:3 Compared to most cats, Basil takes his bath with little protest! I had to give Alan Purring (an exotic shorthair) a bath early on in life and he had an absolute panic.
Mmm, basil-infused water.
You forgot the conditioner, also the ice for the water.
Poor Basil :(
No need to put a cat through this shit !! Stupid and unnecessary!
We got a Karen in the comments, lol.
My brain tricked me into thinking he was 85% sharp and wondered if you put him through the tormek
Why am I watching this I don’t even own a cat 😂
Really can't believe it was possible at all and that easy. My cat turns into a cartoon tasmanian devil tornado if just a few drops from cleaned bowl hits it.
Shaving the cat works better try that next time
Totally stupid!!
Well the more you try to shave the cat, the more the thing will bite and scratch. It's best I think to leave it's fur and listen to it's silky purr.
So sayeth the great prophet McCrea 🍰
thank you for this.
what a loveable lardass !!!!
'You want it to be as calm and quiet as possible'
*Proceeds to loudly splash water all over the cat*
Cedric and who? This is Basil’s channel now!!
Pete
Poor, poor Basil :D Great cat, great video :D
Basil Trump: "The dinner you're gonna give me to make up for this bullshit, gonna be yuge."
Basil: meow dare you!!!!!!
Awesome video! Very informative, relaxing & entertaining! Basil Trump! Lol
Preparing to bathe my cat includes suture kits, gauze, hemostatic agents and coming to grips with the fact I will suffer massive blood loss.
I mean, I always just wore thick long sleeves while bathing my nearly 10 kilo Siamese, but I guess if I had zero foresight whatsoever then your method would probably have been my method, too...

Hes sooo cute! Much better then bricky
How many moths do you have to brush your cat
Oh boy!
here we go :D
I needed this
Mr. Boy, I call my dog that lol.
Loool love the last scene 😂😂😂😂
Squish that cat!
That's a chonky boi
A little bit easier than bathing a 40kg German Shepherd, although the furminator is equally necessary.
i dont understand; why all the fuss with basil. im not saying too much of basil is ever enough but we want to see lemon too.
lemon is a troubled young lady and does not take kindly to being filmed and narrated
More basil videos!
Make a channel for Basil
If only we could translate what Basil as saying when he was in the bath....
Or perhaps it's best left unsaid.
Your father smells like elderberries.
OTF. CAT HAIR. BRUSH. GO.
I always think of Clockwork Orange when I hear the name Basil.
Is there any reason to bathe a cat when they do such a good job themselves?
sometimes they get matts that form due to food spillage in areas they cant reach, which actually would require shaving or intensive brushing to remove. A very occasional bath sets a lot of that stuff right
Who is basil in a clockwork orange?
@@deathbyastonishment7930
Alex's pet snake in the movie.
How often do you brush basil?
twice a week or so
Thank ya
luv the cat😍
Poor basil
Instructions unclear, now I’m in the ER.
is it a male cat
Well, if only the had a self cleaning program build in. Oh, wait..
Witchcraft. My kitten is panicking if you even get him damp with your hands.
Full on fight once serious water is involved. Need to hold by the scruff of the neck the whole way through.
Why would u do that !! Stupid and stressful for the animal
