Kitten DNA Test! 

I second this !!!

yes D:

Yesses bad idea!!! Although nerves are not located there. However having said that kitty still wouldn’t appreciate it.

Irma the nerves are in the skin not the tips of the hair, so as long as you’re not pulling the hairs it shouldn’t hurt, but also yeah if those count as whiskers and are used to feel around I wouldn’t trim them

YES and also can I add please DON'T cut cat's claws!!

she has a tiny bit of white above one of her eyes tho ?

@@majja070994 she’s not a calico. Calicos have a significant amount of white. She’s a tortie

what about mostly grey with black pattern and ginger spot? what is that called?

@@someonerandom1273 that sound like my cat! she’s a “diluted tortie” Google that and see if that’s what you’re talking about.

@@someonerandom1273 They’re called dilute tortoiseshell or dilute tortoiseshell tabby (if they have a tabby pattern)

When did that happen?

Yesss! I really hope she sees this before trimming Lavender's ear hairs 😔

I'm commenting so she can see this

Yes!!! I hope she sees this!!

@@TheKatarinaGiselle but she is blind she can't see right 😅

Torties have no white, and can be male, Calicos have white and are only females.

@@kennie727 Torties and Calicos can both only be male with XXY chromosomes, which is very rare (1 in 3000)

@@kennie727 torties can have a small amount of white

Not enough people have heard of tortoiseshell. When you say Calico they are like ooh so mixed colors. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Tortie is more black background and blended, calico is more cow spots.

Torties are sporadic colours, calicos are patches of colours.

Kitten Lady is amazing!

i love kitten lady!!

You would never think those hairs from a cat s ears are wiskers. They don t look like wiskers.

@@theflashgirl2057 some are sensitive hairs some are whiskers, if you touch them gently you can feel the difference. I really hope they won't trim Lavender's ear hairs/whiskers 😔

Yes ! Thisssss!!!! Don’t trim the hair !

@@theflashgirl2057 ALL of these hairs help them with spacial awareness. Not just whiskers they have ear hairs and longer "feeler" hairs on their head, neck, arms, etc.

@@Tinyturtletami thanks for the information :) I'm sure she knows now

She is because tortoise shell is just a fur/coat color. That’s not a breed as many different breeds can be tortoise shell!!

Yup! She's definitely a torti. For those wondering, mostly dark 3 colored are tortoises shells, mostly white are calico. There are a few other more uncommon ones, but those are the main.

I have a torbie and she has quite the attitude

She's an absolutely Stunning Tortoise Shell colored kitty. Calico has some white mixed in with their coloring.

I have a pastel tortoiseshell. And when she’s hungry she will let you know it. Even if it’s 3:30 in the morning!

OMG MOLLY LIKED MY COMMENT (Sorry for freaking out but I love her videos so much omg)

The sweatshirt is cute. I want it!

@@promisedove me too

Your comment is cute! Come to think of it - so's mine :)

@@harveyabel1354 lol thanks 😂

I hope you get good sleep! And glad you’ve found a community in this corner of the internet.

My husband and I are a blind couple. We just wanted to reach out and say how happy we are you have found this community. You are definitely not alone in this big world.

@@KittyKat101MT3 thanks! From what I’ve seen so far, it’s a great community, even if I could only participate in it virtually

@@kittiariastar2204 thanks so much to both of you

she used emotions support animal as an example not service dog but ikrr 🥺

So sorry...

Sorry to hear that, I lost a kitty that way too, but he was elderly when it happened, he lived to be nearly 20 years old so he had a good long spoiled rotten life.

I'm sorry to hear your loss. I lost my cat last month as well from kidney issues. She was 18 years old. :(

The genetic thing just means she doesn't have a genetic predisposition to kidney disease, but she may still develop it if she isn't eating a good enough diet, or isn't getting enough water, or if she is exposed to certain medications or plants that are damaging to a cats kidneys.

Just curious: What food did your cat eat?

Did you mean to write in the last sentence that calico cats have the patches? Because torties are the ones that have it more blended like Lavender lol

@@madethistocomment727 yes, I meant what I said, color blocking patches. A lot of torties have spit color blocked patches. Mine has a line down her neck, color blocked white and grey. It’s hard to explain, but if you those three words together in google and you’ll see what I mean.

I don’t know that much about cats 🐈

She looks like my boyfriend's sister's cat, who is a tortoiseshell

Well her mom was a stray. And many of those wild cats are given up/abandoned at least the equivalent dogs are so I assume the wild cats are as well so it can be assumed some wild cats mates with more domesticated breeds on the street. 🤷🏻‍♀️. I do I’m more educated about dogs honestly

Yeah makes no sense

@@SaoirseOF96 no but people will purchase servals as exotic pets than later realize they ARENT meant to be pets. Then abandon them.

@@mcnoneya F1 hybrids meaning directly bred to another cat specie only occurs from human interference it never naturally occures savannahs are a HUGE craze and they escape a lot or are sadly commonly abandoned

Yes no wonder she has no problem climbing up your curtains 🤣 she wild

She was hunting a bug I think. It’s a cute murder noise cats make lol

Imagine how amazing Molly's home would look all catified!

This is very true! My cats refused to drink water from anything but the bathtub when they first realized the faucet was leaking. even after we fixed it they would stand in there and wait for us to turn it on. Long story short we got them a fountain.

$150usd apparently...

While hyper is far more prevalent than hypo, that absolutely can get hypothyroidism www.dvm360.com/view/hypothyroidism-cats-how-it-diagnosed-and-treated

Ive heard of cats from experienced cat vets that had hypothyroidism but their chances are slim to none

I don't put a lot of faith in any of the pet dna tests. They always seem to come up with some obscure breed that the cat/dog is supposedly.

Right, calicos are very commonly mistaken. Calicos have a mostly white coat with brown being the secondary and black being the last. Lavender is absolutely gorgeous and in my opinion way more gorgeous then an actual calico.

I have watched many, many of her videos with CC - including this one.....okay, it's automatic captions, but working well.

i’m surprised she doesn’t do cc considering she’s such an advocate for accessibility

@@harveyabel1354 I think she meant the ones that aren't automatically generated ones. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they are ridiculous lol

@@madethistocomment727 They can be pretty...off...sometimes! XD

I LOVE YOUR VIDS❤️

I have that hoodie (not her merch the second one she was wearing) i was like omg twins

I’d like a yellow version of the gallop hoodie cause I already have the blue one 👏👏:):)

If you want her to stop climbing the curtains get her a cat tree , not just a scratiching post. like this one for example -> www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Cat-Tree-Condo-X-Large/dp/B07G383L78

I have a purebred Himalayan with papers and I STILL got her a DNA test from basepaws! Thankfully they were having a sale for 50% off so I can contribute to their database and I can get health markers so it’s a win-win!!

I have two bengals and two mixed cats and for some reason my immediate thought was to get that done for the two purebred boys. I don't need it, they are clearly bengal cats but I also don't really care about breeds and what my mixed ones are because in the end all 4 of them are 100% cats and I love them all just how they are.

Glad you love it! :D hehe

You mean specifically

@@megankidd4671 yeah sorry I used the microphone to type and didn't go back and check it lol

Tortoiseshell?

I have a tortie too!!!

@@linzeh92 it's referring to the pattern of her fur. Multicolored, kind of like a calico.

@@linzeh92 yea sorry

Im very surprised at how tolerant she was of that.

I know loll

Thank youuu :D

Trimming the claws is part of the regular care that you should be giving your cat. It's NOT the same as declawing!

Right?! Everyone is freaking out and they just said they needed to trim her nail. Like chill y’all.

everyone freaked at me for cutting my kittens claws, but she was getting stuck in the carpet every two seconds so like...what was I meant to do? 🙄

@@SteffenieLR that's a common stage they go through cuz they're learning to groom their nails. Clipping the very tips is helpful.

@@C-SD yeah Cutting deep like a declaw, is like cutting someone's fingers off.

No. That is not true She still needs to trim her nails otherwise they will start to grow crooked and start peeling and then will get snagged on something a rip of she need to trim them 1 time every week or every other week depending on how fast her nails grow I have had over 20 cats (it was not unhealthy we rescued and fostered) Now that my family doesn’t do that we have 2 cats So I know what I am talking about

@@sgehheiwwiwhvebdjdudh yes I agree im not saying they shouldn’t have it done just the importance of being shown how to do so that you don’t hurt the cat as it can easily be accidentally done 😊 nail trimming can easily be done by owners at home as yes it is important to trim kitties nails for the reasons you pointed out, it’s just good to know how to do so safely

@@lulamoss yeah

for most cats it’s easy to tell where to cut. as long as they have clear nails (and not black nails) you can see the pink. if they have black nails (at least on dogs. i haven’t checked on my cat haha) there’s a black dot that u can see before you hit the spot. (i got the black nail info from a pet groomer and they were just talking about dogs but i’m sure it’s the same for cats) also this is more of an add on from your last comment since i didn’t see anyone say what the spot that you shouldn’t cut is/ what it looks like :)

This information is not necesarily directed at you, Lola, I just think some people in this comment section might be helped by it. Claw maintenance is great for indoor cats, and mandatory for senior cats. Some outdoor cats also need a little bit of care. Clipping a little bit too far in is indeed painful for the cat, and they'll bleed, but it's not the end of the world and you shouldn't act like it is if an accident DOES happen(it'll just make it a scarier experience for the cat if you do) while you're learning to clip the claws. Keep calm, get some tissue paper and apply pressure for a minute or two to stop the bleeding(if the cat will let you, if they're aggressive rather than a bit shaken, leave them alone... They'll be fine, it's just that they might make a bit of a mess). For most cats you only really need to get the very tip of the claw, and if you stick to just clipping very little and often you're unlikely to hurt them. The front paws will need a bit more maintenance, so you don't need to do all four every time. While you're getting them used to handling you can even pretend to clip their claws for a little bit every day. If the cat isn't very trusting of people, it might help to wrap them up snugly in a blanket since being held tightly seems to have a psychological effect of making a cat feel a bit more secure and safe. While you're getting them used to it, expect very little. If you get to clip a couple of claws and they start getting the wiggles, let them go and do a few more later in the day. End every handling session with treats, praise and affection even if they weren't on their best behavior(don't worry, you're not going to reinforce mischief, hopefully you can take my word on this as someone that has taught all her cats a whole bunch of things through food rewards lol, if a cat could really make that kind of calculated connection from a pretty long chain of events, training them would be so much easier... anyways, bit of a tangent haha).

WOW, thank you so much!!

SAME!

Ikr ❤️

It sure does! She's a judgey little thing, but aren't all cats? LOL

@Molly Burke Wow, thanks for replying! And omg that is so true :D

I love my little fur kids!

No chance. The test is bull.

I find it weird they say thai Siamese as youll rarely see them out of thailand they are weird about their siamese

If the cat will sit still with extra hands, it’s not necessary to scruff them. Sometimes can stress them out and it’s probably best to leave that for when they actually need it for vet work.

@@raenewnham7490 actually scruffing *relieves stress* . That is why mother cats scruff their young.

My vet holds my cats by the scruff while doing their check up. I use that method if I have meds to give them. Works and they don't hate me afterward :)

It's super handy when needed but I'm lucky that my cat will eat her constipation meds if I mix it into her food! I give her a small portion of food with all the meds, wait for her to finish it, and then give her the rest of her food. Unfortunately it doesn't work on the cats that are especially picky--but that's why we have purritos and scruffing and sometimes even roommates lol.

@@minyoongisaegyoinfiresme5277 if it’s constantly associated with something they don’t want to do, then they will associate it with stress. As someone who worked in a vet clinic for many years, it doesn’t really calm them down any. It just makes it so they can’t move as much. But I’ve definitely seen cats still move around a ton when scruffed. It’s not a catch-all for making them stay still

Idk how you’ve seen Naruto but not Card Captor ??? Lol HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN. But I agree the enunciation needs work 😂😂

ku is pronounced coo, like how you'd coo at a cute baby cat or coocoo as in crazy.

Sah-koo-ra, koo as in cool not kuh as in cub

Not always, that might be it for Japanese but not true for all races. Someone said it on one of joeys videos. She was Asian but they pronounced it the way Joey does.

He might not be using it as in the Japanese way... I know a person who is Hindu and name is Dave, even tho they don’t have any clue about David from the Bible and all that. Joey could be using Sakura as his cats name, not for the actual word.

I did a video on my channel with the founders of 2BB clothing a few years back! They're great!

Our other Tuxedo is also named Cookie! :)

Surely she wouldn’t do that. Only asshats declaw their cats and Molly isn’t one

She said that she needed clip her nails not declaw

Why would she do that??? Its banned where I live in Canada

@@Libz she's just trimming them

Uhm she only said she needed to trim her nails

I knowwww! She just keeps getting bigger and bigger!

ME TOO! :D

I knew Molly was gonna say that haha
