Cat is less aggressive than I was expecting. Nevertheless, awesome teamwork, it made the experience better for you and the cat.

Omg her little pink pads are perfectly adorable

Dede in cats that are overweight they can't groom themself they don't reach. Is good to recommend owners with overweight pets to visit a veterinarian and get a diet plan to help the pet have a better quality of life. Nice work Dede and the cat's family did good too!

Kelly my cat was also fat and groomed fine, until the stress on the joints and age caught up. Now she’s a nightmare to groom and poor thing is so uncomfortable. She has never liked grooming due to a broken tail, though we can keep her ruff clean. Highly recommend slimming down your cat now to avoid the suffering in the future.

Overweight cats generally will be less skilled at grooming themselves more completely. My friend bathes his fatter cat every once in a while to get his cat a little cleaner, actually.

You're so right. I've never seen a healthy weight short hair need shaving that's for sure (other than for surgery obviously).

In the beginning, it sounds like Dede's preparing for war or a serious surgery. Of course you could consider it war when it comes to grooming matted cats, if you don't know how to handle a cat, it could be a bloodbath! Angry cats are scary and unpredictable, and they act a lot like a wild animal. Thankfully this cat didn't act up a whole lot

You did such a good job I feel like it could have gone really traumatic for the cat but you respected it and got it done super fast and that’s how it should be! A lot of groomers wouldn’t have even tried to help the cat with issues like that!

I found when I clean grimy ears and kitty grumbles, you let them sniff the Q-tip. They realize their ears are dirty and you are cleaning them. No more grumbling.

I had a cat too long long time ago. When he broke his leg, he had to get some injections every day for the first week. He did well with the vet. But the first two times when i tried injecting him with the help of my friend, he didnt want to have any of that, but when i tried to do it all by myself, holding him down with my leg as i injected him, he was calm and completely fine with it. Different people have different effects on animals.

That cat has relatively short hair, how did it get such thick and large mats? Ive got an older cat with some missing teeth who straight up will NOT groom herself and still a light-to-medium brushing once or twice a week works well. No judging though, I know theres plenty of reasons why and it can be time consuming to follow a brush-hating cat. But this kitty takes it well. If he/she is anything like my own, feeling much better once one mat is removed is probably the only reason the cat didnt totally flip out for the rest.

Lovely mom, glad everything turned out okay for everyone. Great job Dede! 💕

I like how you work quickly as its best for the pet...no messing about, just getting the job done.

That was amazing! Now I know how my cat will be done & I want to say thank you! You are so quick & kind & patient. I really appreciate your work & videos! Keep up the good work!

When my cat, Katniss, is truly pissed ... I wouldn’t dare try this without elbow length Kevlar gloves 🧤 🧤 😂 She a sweet ♥️ 99% of the time though.

That looks exactly like my Puddy Tat! I wish I could at least do his sanitary area. His hair is so think on his underside and he won’t let me brush there. Otherwise I can brush the rest of him. He hates his tail being done but I’ve got to keep the mats out. You are so good at cat grooming! I’m impressed! The only thing I lack is a holder or you! Wish I didn’t live in MD. Thanks for all the new and interesting grooms!❤️

Sooo much calmer than my Boi. Honestly. Mine CANNOT BE TOUCHED. It's awful. I cry

cat isn't rabbit kicking or twisting, just moaning and groaning.... so calm compared to my cat.

What a beautiful tabby. I’m a sucker for these lovelies ❤️

I am legitimately terrified of even trying to give my cat a bath because I'm walking out of there with half a face and only 1 hand left

I was expecting a crazy wild fight but this cat seems pretty calm....just a little crying but all in all she was pretty good during the grooming. I have seen worse in grooming cat videos!

Great job! I've seen some really nasty cat bites before that's why I dont do them I know of a lady who got bit and last he ate due to infection. You are one brave chick Dede!

my brothers cat is an ABSOLUTE nightmare when it comes to nails. its literally a 3+ person job..ive gotten bitten an scratched an hes def not in pain. We started needing to have him in a towel or blanket to help protect us when doing them. Hes had no trauma or anything no reason to be so mad or upset. It is really strange how this cat got matted but its def something that should be looked into by the pet parents. cats normally can keep themselves pretty well groomed. well done dede. Keep up the great work.

Em + The cat WAS matted even the pet parents said he was in the back area and THEY REQUESTED THIS. she only shaved what was absolutely needed. Stop being nasty if you dont like what dede does then GUESS WHAT dont watch her videos an go somewhere else on YT. She takes in aggressive, elderly and difficult dogs that everywhere else has turned away or vets have told pet parents to come to her. She specializes in short grooms to lessen the stress on animals. She makes sure the pet parents understand EVERYTHING before she does anything an she records so they can see anything thats done. once again, if you dont like her style of grooming then go somewhere else. Your negativity is unwarrented

Another great job Dede!

You are an incredible person! This was some excellent team work 👍🤗💚 much love!

I have a senior cat and he barely grooms himself anymore. I keep his brush beside my chair and brush him whenever he sits in my lap and he loves it. He has medium length fur and it mattes quickly, but I can't get him to let me brush his belly. I just take him to the vet and they shave it. Works out pretty well.

I had no clue that short haired cats could gets Mats. I'm my whole life I have had prolly about 10 short haired cats and never had one mat, I barely have ever brush them also. So what caused the mat? I'mnot being hateful, I'm just curious so I can know and keep it from happening.

If that's considered an aggressive cat they haven't met my guy. Great way to go about it though, I would love to have a team like this to help me!

You are fantastic! I can't find a groomer to help me like this! Thanks!

Awesome job!

Love all your videos

How did she get matted? I have a cat with similar fur and he's never been matted his fur is silky and smooth. And those nails - don't they have scratching posts for her? I have 3 cats and many areas for them scratch they've never had long nails

DeDe said "God help me" I know that's right D🙌😝🙌Amen😂

Dede is a hero. Ive always said that if i lived near Dede sje would be grooming my dog:)

You are just amazing!

I left a comment on one of your other videos, mentioning my cat and how difficult it was to groom her... I wish I was in your area at that time, because I feel she really would have benefited from your grooming techniques. My cat would hiss, slash, and howl during the process... she was obviously so stressed-out, but they wouldn't let me stay with her. I think it was either Petsmart or Petco. Unless they've changed their policies, I would recommend to anyone they seek out a professional groomer.

I love your videos!

My dog has that dark colored gunk in his ears. I don't have the money to take him back to the vet at the moment, but is there anything you would recommend for the time being until I can? I do try to clean his ears out at least a little bit, but I'm sure if he has an infection that wouldn't do anything for him. Is there any type of solution I could buy to help him for the time being? Thanks in advance!

Super impressive stuff, especially to an outsider. Outstanding.

Aww bless the cat

You are the best dog and cat hair groomer and u are my favourite

Shared fb ...I was very nervous for you and in general for this one! 🐾🐶🍁

It's the radial vein. In the wrist.

I worked for a cat vet, and he always used a towel when holding a cat, it helps protect one from scratches, and bites.

XD that cat wasnt to happy but i bet it feels so much better! nice fast work! they should get one of your brushes, when you combed her back legs lots of fur came out, looks like she needs a brushing

Whew! That was tense!

Again I will say you are one Brave woman

I have question: I’ve been watching your videos lately grooming dog or cats. How come you don’t wear gloves when you do grooming? You have another video that the dog you’re grooming have flea. I think it is better to wear gloves to protect yourself.

Another hard job well done. Sometimes we need that challenge to keep it real whatever the task. My challenge for today? Getting my husband to do something about the garden! In fact getting him to move would be good, when he's off work he 's about as active as an old dog. 😀 Amanda UK.

It is like preparing for war with a feline lol. I've been grooming cats for 20 years. The fear is always there with a mad cat. Holding your breath until the cats done. Befor one last attempt to swat at ya while closing their carrier.

awww she did so good

You are so awesome.

She is really docile compared to one of my cat. I can't brush her body (only head) and can't cut her nail. And she has long hair which lead to crazy tangles like dread locks

Yikes. You’re brave 🤗

Team work = (a) HAPPY KITTY 😸🐈

are you supposed to brush short hair cats...???i had no idea ..i have two and didnt realize they could get mats their hair is so short

so cute

U R sooo Brave!

Great team work.. Clipper is pretty loud tho

Oh and yes those were some very supportive women great amazing job🔥

Wonder what happened to the cat that he couldn’t groom himself anymore? I’d never let my cats get matted. I know that the matts are painful to begin with. Great work as always Dede 👍🏻💓

I have shared this on my Facebook page Trudy Broadley

Is that a short haired cat? How in the heck did it become so matted?? Nice job DeDe!

If that cat was mine it would be on a serious diet the size of it I would even buy it a harness and walk it because a cat that size has to exercise somehow and I would also get it used to grooming so it wasn’t such a brat about it

She’s not a mean cat. She’s just frightened. You did a good job but that’s not a mean kitty. Cats aren’t mean, it’s always fear or pain.

I'm shocked none of them wore protective gloves. Did anyone say why the cat was so hard to groom?

Is it horrible that I never clipped my cats nails. She was indoor/outdoor and they were sharp af. She lived to be 16 and I never had a problem until she attack my toes from under the bed. But I want to adopt a cat and was just wondering if people normally clip

@janus1936

Some do, some don't. It depends on the cat, really. Some do fine without it, some don't. If they have past problems with their nails (trauma from getting it caught, ripped out in a fight, etc) your vet will probably advise you trim them as a way to monitor them. If you ask your vet, they can better inform you if your cat would benefit from it or not

@maryreed2280

If your cat can not retract her claws fully, she could use a trim. She will sound like a dog when walking, tap tap tap noise. Cats should be silent.

I use tethers on my cat they don't hurt her, plus she sleeps in a cat box so I need to wash her daily.

If a cat is overweight, like this one, they can’t reach their back to groom themselves. You know your short haired cat is overweight when it gets matted along the back. The best cure for this is to put the cat on a diet to get it back to a healthy weight. Overweight cats are also very prone to become diabetic, and no-one enjoys giving their cat daily injections when it could have been prevented with keeping them at a healthy weight.

That cat did pretty darn good I must say

Do they not muzzle the cats like they do the dogs?

I can't believe she sent that cat home like that. She didn't need to shave it that could have been combed out. That was a very good cat. Well i guess if you are afraid of cats you would say he was bad but really he wasnt..I'm sure she charged her an arm and a leg to do it. I couldn't imagine doing that to someone's animal and do it like it's no big deal.

I’ve found that as well as grabbing the scruff of the neck I put my hand over the eyes as if it’s trying to hide, works really well to calm them down. The added bonus is that what they can’t see they can’t attack.

I hope they didn't scruff too hard. Would a blanket around the head have worked too? Or would it have been too cumbersome? I appreciate you working with the family to groom their pet. Also, Dave is so flippin' cute laughing behind the camera! 🤭
