Vocalization from a cat is NOT the same thing as it is from a dog. I will take a low growl or even a hiss over a swat or a struggle any day of the week. Her growl didn't even increase in pitch to something closer to a yowl which is when you actually have a fight on your hand. She was just uneasy and making sure everyone knew it.

Her just being flopped on her side in defeat while she was being brushed was one of the cutest things ever.

Zoey has such a GRIP on her temper. She just FORGIVES Vanessa over and over. Wonderful cat.

I thought Zoe was a very good girl: she growled, lashed her tail, and tried to levitate the heck outta there, but never made a move to scratch or bite.

People, Vanessa makes these grooming sessions look easy. I like animals, but: bathing them, knowing the proper techniques, dealing with highly volatile temperaments, knowing how to salvage an undercoat, expensive equipment, specialty equipment, animal hair/dander, the chance you’ll get injured, the chance you’ll injure a pet, renting space, clean up, etc. - and that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. I believe Vanessa is one of the best in the world when it comes to pet grooming. Her instincts are spot on and she obviously does an incredible job on all her clients’ cuts/styles as well as on their baths/showers. Props to her and her talent.👏👏👏👏👏 We have the privilege of getting to watch the transformations on a weekly basis.

Poor pretty Zoe. Bless the woman for taking her in. From my experience with short-hair cats is they don't smell and shed a lot unless they are ill. Even outdoor cats. I hope that she's been to the vet.

In her later years my cat was not able to keep herself clean on her own. She had a few flea baths in her youth so we knew she was not a fan. I found the double sink in my kitchen was really helpful. I would fill one side high enough that her shoulders would be covered, when I switched from warm water to almost hot she suddenly decided it wasn’t quite so bad. By putting her in the full sink it was easy and quick to get her wet to the skin. Then lifted her to the empty sink applied shampoo and lathered. I would do the first rinse with the faucet hose and then put her back in the full sink rub her all over then back to the empty sink for another hose rinse and done. Got to the point where all this could be accomplished in under ten minutes. The full sink and hotish water really made a difference. Love your videos.

You were very right when talking about cats being in a new place. I just moved yesterday and normally when we got home my cat would bounce out of the carrier immediately once it was opened. But when we got to the new place and I opened the carrier she sat in it for several hours even though it was opened. Poor baby was stressed 😢

The range of the cat's expressions was impressive, even though all of them were not happy ones.

Have you noticed that your clients relax a little when you are speaking for the video, and speaking to them? You do such a good job. (And you might shed quite a bit too if you had to wear a tuxedo all the time! 😂)

I don't think I have ever seen a cat go into the carrier that quick! 😂 Someone is ready to go home. ❤ Zoey was not a willing participant!

My kitty was never fond of either the (rare) baths or more frequent claw clips. I used to lie my kitty on my lap upside down to trim the murder mittens - seemed to keep her calm. What a cat will tolerate from an owner though, is very different to what they’ll tolerate from a stranger!

I love the pics of the dogs and cats in the happy hoodie! Hilarious!

As a mother of a similarly patterned b&w cat, I can confirm he is a very sheddy boy! Whenever i take him to visit my parents 2 hours away, we have to have the following system in place: fluffy floor mat on my lap, brushy grooming glove on and petting constantly, and Not Another D&D Podcast on. He will meow and pant if anything else is playing. When we arrive 2 hours later to our destination, I'm covered in hair and the grooming glove is full. Sometimes i even empty it mid-ride and fill it again. Meanwhile my kitten sits patiently in her carrier and barely makes a peep. I would put him in a carrier, but it stresses him out so much he's a panting, yowling wreck. So we follow far back in the middle lane and listen to the Duck Team. Of course i ensure his talons are nice and trimmed before we head out, because last thing i want to have to do behind the wheel is have to carefully extract a pawfull of cat claws from my flesh on the freeway.

The mesh bathing bags for cats really works wonders. Like phenomenally. I started to implement the use of them after expanding my dog grooming buisness to include cats and other small animals.

I always find it odd that most of the hair that cats shed builds up is always near the lower back, I wonder why that is🤔

Most cats don’t need more than a nail trim and gentle brushing at home. But when they get that chonky they can’t reach. Bless her.

All in all, she was pretty good. You are so good at what you do.

The combination of dandruff and excessive shedding is probably diet related. My vet suggested going grain free then removing chicken products from our cats diet. Eventually it was adding cat formulated omega-3 oils that stopped the dandruff and reduced the shedding.

Your videos are therapy to me. 🥹

What a beautiful cat. Your cat vids are my favorite.

The look on bubble cats face is priceless.

I wonder if you gave them a little cat nip then let them run around. After cats usually are mellow for a while.

This cat was amazingly cool during the whole process. Much was due to excellent understanding and patience on the groomer's part.
