A SPICY spectacle of a cat | Murder Mittens activate 

Salt said “do as you must” and surrendered to the abyss.

@@hothotheat3000 I loved him holding out his paw!

😂😂 Pepper won me over too and he looked like a little astronaut with the dome on. And OMG the little chirps were super adorable 😂

The last two cats I had (way back as a teenager), were named similarly after seasonings. I had a calico whom I named Spicy, but only because she looked like multiple spices, and while she was mostly sweet, she did have difficulty initially adjusting to the new but slightly older cat, Sugar. Sugar was at least part Siamese, given she had the tan/dark brown markings of one and the blue eyes. The tan was on a large spot on her back and I think the tips of her front paws. Her ear tips and the end of her tail were dark brown. Everywhere else was white. She was a beautiful cat (I know "parents" aren't supposed to pick a favorite child or anything, but Sugar was very gorgeous and I swear she knew it. I feel bad admitting that as Spicy was my birthday present 😅. Her fur was also way softer than Spicy's, but she was not a longhair). Sugar was very laid back though, and when hissed at by Spicy, she didn't react...initially. As she drank from Spicy's waterbowl though and was being confronted, Sugar at last let out one good hiss at Spicy, and she shut up 😂. The two were raising hell with crashing all over the place in a game of tag by that evening, already best friends.

Gotta love the white boys!

The "paw of nope". LOL

It's the "please stop :(" of cats, he was so polite

Ain't he stunning! 😍🐱

Pups and cats both do it and it is so sweet

Unlike Pyrs and Goldies that do it, I'm sure Salt was making sure his "nope" had a few more exclamation points!!

Badgers.

my eldest kitty is a tiny 14 year old, but I have yet so successfully get her to take a pill in her life because she has absolute jaws of steel. She clamps her teeth shut and a cannot for the life of me pry them open lmaoo

@@FKyoutubeSERIOUSLY that may be, I’ve never attempted to make a badger do anything.

@@annebishop9634 A good choice for your safety and survival! 😂

@@amandaduckett3093 I've recently seen that there is some kind of edible putty for pets, which is made to put it around pills, so they are tasty to animals and I thought that was a really good idea especially for cats, who often find a way eating around a pill otherwise in my experience :D

Pawsitive. 😾

It's cute, yes, but I doubt he has that level of understanding. It's more likely he just enjoyed how it felt, as some brushes can feel like a cat's tongue on another cat, and they do groom each other sometimes.

@@silvershadow2447 i'm gonna shit your pants

I’d be indignate too having my privates shaved on camera! 😉😂

Shocked, dismayed and chagrined 😂

@@kristita_888 - "Harrumph!", even. 😹

​@@kristita_888rrtyrtrteyryruryrehfueyryryr

Pet grooming is unnatural and pointless. The animals need their fur. It's an unnecessary and traumatic process.

Pepper was like, if you don't stop, I'll attack. Hey I warned you

He had the angry tail going and everything

😂

Same, fam. Same 😂

"HALP!"

As an aspie, I can fully relate.

Same, leave me alone.

But it wasn't on his top 1000 careers list...

Danger dome 😂

That felt like a haiku

Most likely!🙈

'Big ❤, Tiny Mew'... 😹

Frr 😂❤ 2:54

I had a Maine coon who weighed around 18 pounds at his full body weight. Did he meow as such? No. He squeaked like a mouse.

Ikr, those meek like squeaks made me feel so bad for him. I never understood why hates hate being groomed.

*Girl with cats* gives me life :")💛

​@@amy_ambrosiothats not who she says she is, girl with the dogs>>

​@@GodisMyNo1no shit. 🙄

In another video, she explains why she's Girl with the dogs.... maybe in her second channel....

I have three kitties myself so I love the cat grooming videos ❤

talk to ma butt because my face isn't listening

What?

Wish I looked like this kitty cat when I got up in morning 😊

@RachelMartin-di8fy- he was plotting something. Vanessa’s demise…

I thought so too. I thought he was sweet actually. 😊

Cats actually don’t hiss out of aggression it is a warning that they are uncomfortable and asking to back off, it is defensive. Considering everything that was done to the kitty of course they would be scared, and biting or scratching and hissing are all in defense of what they perceive as danger, they don’t know what’s happening.

Some long haired cats just dont have loud meows. My two sibling cats have different meows. The short hair did the typical cries at the vet while the long hair only a whisper

Absolutely true about the sound!

Well Pepper, if you give Vanessa trouble, she’ll give you the bubble…

I had to go back and re-watch, but you're right! He absolutely gave a little, shy slow blink. Like saying, "I didn't love all that, but I forgive you." What an absolute sweetheart!

Broke my heart 😢

I feel so sad seeing cats get groomed, esp when they have to be shaved. It's absolutely necessary sometimes & Vanessa is the best. The two cats I have now are 12 years old. One needed a flea bath when I brought her home from the shelter as a baby & that's it. I comb them on a regular basis, clip their claws occasionally, & otherwise they're able to groom themselves. I hope that doesn't change as they get age.

I have two white cats and I can attest to the shedding and the eyegoop. However, so far, *touch wood* no hairballs and they are 7 years old

I have 3 fluffy white kittens 😂😂😂 I need to brush them and attempt to clean their eyes. They stay purring though 💕

😂😂😂😂

😂 🧂🌶🥚🫒

The SPAM!

I thought the still was of Mayonnaise at first 😂

Mustard Relish Ranch Onion dip All seem like reasonably themed cat names ;)

I've seen plenty of pets with my name, but this is the first time I've seen it spelled the same! She sounds like a sweet girl. I bet you miss her a lot

She sounds like my Misty.❤

I doubt she was awake the whole time, she most likely woke up just as you were walking to the front door. It was a cat after all 😉

@Rachel Martin probably not, since he has green eyes, not blue

@@Morpheus-pt3wq Maybe. I would come home about 10:30 pm and there she was. She would meow then walk with me to the bedroom, jump on the bed and curl up at the foot of it and snooze off and so would I.

aaaaaAAAAAaaaa

Eep! Eep!

That is both impressive your parent's cat has compensated with his other senses AND knows specofically when his cat food tin is being opened, but then again, kitties love food so he/she found a way to know when it's feeding time. White cats are gorgeous, they all are, but I haven't seen many except more in the Persian breed.

😂❤

Vanessa strikes an remarkable balance between giving the animals she's grooming a chance to do things without restraints or muzzles, but then not taking too much of a chance with her own safety. It's amazing to watch, and I really appreciate when she explains why she chooses to do the things she does.

Cat bites are super infectious and can lead to amputation. Super dangerous

@@alexw.7097 I find the whole process mean and cruel. Love them for the beauty they were born with......unless they were terribly matted. Not fun

@@ruthholmes9299 You think grooming them is cruel? We have bred cats like Ragdolls, Persians, and others to have such huge coats that they literally can't take care of them without human help. Now, I would like to say that *I* am absolutely someone who believes that if you get a cat, (or dog,) like this, it is your responsibility to keep them groomed. (I say this sitting next to a pair of Samoyeds who get full baths, blow-dries, and brush outs monthly from a professional groomer, plus regular brushing at home in order to keep their coats maintained as they should be.) Vanessa says in the video that Pepper is being shaved because he is matted, and forcing a cat to sit there for an hour or more as you try to brush out/break up the matting is NOT going to happen. Most cats will not put up with you bothering them and pulling at their fur for that long. (That's why Vanessa has kitty timers.) So personally, I believe shaving should only be done on fur that's too matted to save, (or for medical reasons,) and Vanessa regularly says the same, I trust her judgment on choosing to shave Pepper for his comfort over everything else. And I'm sure she talked to his owners about keeping him brushed while his coat grows back so he doesn't have to be shaved again. Yes all of this is a pretty uncomfortable process for the cat, but Vanessa is doing what she needs to do to help Pepper, and she explicitly limits the amount of time she works on cats because she knows it's stressful. If you're looking to be upset with someone, blame the owners for not maintaining Pepper's coat, not Vanessa for doing her best to fix it and make Pepper more comfortable. (But we also don't know the whole story, they could have been recently adopted, or the owners may have had a problem that stopped them from maintaining his coat recently, but are usually good about brushing him.) Tldr: Cats like Pepper need human help to maintain the huge coats we bred them to have, Pepper's coat was too matted to be brushed out so he got shaved for his comfort and to hopefully have a blank slate to be cared for properly from now on. Vanessa did an excellent job for what needed to be done. Leaving him matted or trying to brush Pepper's coat out at this point would ACTUALLY be cruel.

@@alexw.7097 Your comments Ring true and have the tone of Common Sense,(which is actually UNCOMMON), and should have MORE likes!

My parents' cat only squeaks. I think I've heard him mew once or twice, but never a true meow. He's pretty quiet, doesn't talk much. One time I was staying the night at their house, and I was watching TV after my parents had both gone to bed. In the next room, I heard a weird squeaky noise that I couldn't identify... looked in and it was Charlie running around and playing and squeaking away. When he noticed me watching him, he froze like he had been caught. I guess I was interrupting his me time 🤷

I have two cats (sisters) where one is exactly the same. Yang will make no noise except high pitch squeaks when she doesn't like something or is really really in the mood for attention. Yin however does nothing but scream for anything, everything and nothing at all. They're both a delight but so wildly different, hence the names haha.

The height of blissful ignorance.

Or, "I am planning thy demise, thou foolish fur-stealer!"

The way his eyes flick up and down between Vanessa's face to her clipping his nails and back... he's got murder on his mind 🤣🤣

I thought he said Fluff you with his eyes 😂

You can just say "Fuck you". We're adults. A bad word isn't going to hurt us.

I have a calico, and yep, her white bits shed WAY more than the black/orange bits.

Have you considered that the white fur is just more visible and easy to spot

@@diddlybop Not when you’re actively brushing them and ending up with tons more white hair.

I had a blue Maine Coon, a tortie named Kafka. She turned into a lion every year. I believe she was put into the “box” to medicate her for grooming. She had quite the reputation. It’s been yrs, we enjoyed each other’s company.

@@marybrown8905 KitKat was a blue Maine Coon too. We filled our home with a Maine Coon/Tabby whose 2 and named Oscar. His coat is not as thick as KitKats but I have picked up good tips for keeping him mat free from Vanessa's videos. We also have 2 domestic shorthair sisters who just turned 5. Thank you for sharing about your girl.

Ayup. Clinging on to her for dear life. “Save me. Save me from the evil water hose.”
