Hey! I know this Mia! She came from a shelter I volunteered at and is being fostered! She had this EXACT same attitude at the shelter with other cats. We always called her the evil cotton ball
“You’ve lost your privileges...” aaaand space helmet 🤣. Honestly tho - the amount of grooming she tolerated given her initial disposition is HIGHLY commendable 👍
This is upsetting to watch. This is not a water loving cat. This "domestic long haired cat" is a Norwegian Forest Cat. I highly recommend people who treat cats like this to keep a leopard or a tiger because you can't push them around. There is videos online of what happens to tiger owners who don't fully respect their cat.
The meows sound like: "Help me! I'm drowning!" (they are not) But the growls are like: "I will kill your first born and piss on everything you know and love." The duality of cats is amazing.
I've done that before. I don't know what it was I actually said in their language but they looked like I'd just used the worst swear word in the cat vocabulary
"If you're bit by a cat and they leave puncture wounds it's advised to seek medical advice immediately" Well now I feel immortal with my 25 ish years worth of cat bites
@@icewind7 this is a great way to get yourself infected with your OWN saliva. your saliva can introduce outside pathogens that are not present in your body
I got bitten by my sister’s cat a couple of months ago (she didn’t like being given her prescription eye drops) despite cleaning the bite straight away I still got an infection and a couple of hospital trips. I’ve also had cats of my own for many years but that was my first (and hopefully, last) bad cat bite.
I got bit by a feral cat. Didn't seem bad at first, despite being pretty deep, but it took almost a month to fully heal and there is still a hard spot where the bite was.
I got bit fierce by a cat once, likely hangry because it was on a diet. I bled profusely and while at the sink dealing with the hand wound I got bit in the leg for good measure.
The only non-venomous bite worse than a cat bite for humans are other humans, I'm pretty sure. My boss at the shelter had multiple spots on his finger where bad cat bite infections completely killed the nerves and he has lost all feeling. The bacteria in cats' mouths are similar to what humans have in their body, so when in an open wound, the body does not detect them as bad and doesn't fight them. Since cat teeth are so needle-shaped, the wounds close up quickly and the bacteria can't bleed out. At both shelters I volunteer at I was instructed to instantly go to a doctor even if the teeth just grazed me, since it can get so highly dangerous.
Someone who clearly knows her clients! I'd definitely rather groom a dog than a cat - the big pussies are not the smaller ones lol. I grew up with cats and have had hounds all my married life (we're at the grandkids stage now, so a long time), and despite any of them being able to flatten me at a moment's notice, they're just chickens compared to my old tom cat! Though try to get a greyhound into an ordinary bath. It's definitely a two-man job and old clothes on, bathroom door locked, old towels all over the place... As we're too creaky to wash our current boy, I use baby wipes to spot clean him when needed. I can _just about_ get away with it (if he has any sausages to distract him 🤣).
@@y_fam_goeglyd or peanut butter....our old dog would lick the whole damn left over jar...yes we gave her the rest inside the jar and I'd keep her busy for a good hour
@@y_fam_goeglyd we bathe our dog in an enclosed shower with a bath mat for traction, we fill 2 huge rubbermaid tubs, one with soapy water and one with rinse water and a pitcher ( the sound of running water seems to make things worse ) we did the same for our cat but my husband provided a place to perch with 2 pairs of work jeans on instead of a mat.
i love the moment around 3:13 where you say shes being very mean and she slow blinks you. shes like " i hate this so much and im stressed out but i trust you wont hurt me" she also breaks eye contact and bows her head which is another way of saying "ok yeah you are in control can you leave me alone now?"
that is my senior long hair cat right there. barely a meow, but lots of growls and hisses at the slightest affront to her majesty. getting her butt knots shaved is like trying to hold on to a wet bar of soap full of razor blades.
@@Tim85-y2q oh, totally. our former senior tom would go on walks with me, but if he decided he needed to plop down in the middle of the road to clean himself, all cars had to wait. when they rolled up to him, he just looked up, saw they were stopping, and proceeded to clean his feet. before that he would always check left and right when crossing, but at the age of 13 he had reached the stubborn old man stage.
@@Pete-wz1fw she explained that cat bites are dangerous because of the bacteria in their saliva. A small puncture wound is enough to land you in the ER, because it can lead to necrosis of the tissue. You can lose a limb or even die. Getting bit by a dog in the same manner (quick bite without clamping down) has a way lower risk of needing medical treatment.
I can vouch for the "seek medical attention immediately" advice. I got five severe puncture wounds for a domestic cat. He bit my hand so hard it went to the bone. I spent four hours in the ER, and my hand swelled to three times it's normal size. Please don't play around with a cat bite folks!
tbh dog bites aren't much better. Both these types of animals have some nasty bacteria in their mouth that can get you into ER. However, most of the time they don't. So there's no reason to fear. Stray animals bite though? Totally go seek help asap.
A semi feral campus cat got me once when I was at my old uni. I was told that I should get it treated and the hospital was just over the road. I ended up having to have a tetanus injection and a few days of iodine dressings.
I work with animals and got bit by a feral. I had to have IV antibiotics. You can actually die within two days If I remember correctly, if the infection gets into your blood stream. Luckily that's rare.
When you had to put her in the astro-helmet while brushing her, she started tapping her tail on the table. All I could think was she was counting down the seconds for revenge when it finally came off. XD
I'm always impressed that so many of the cats just sit there and take it. Every cat I've ever had to wrangle into a bath has tried to run screaming into the night and under the nearest small space.
Oh, yeah. I have a cat, and since she’s an indoor kitty, we only bathed her once when we first got her. My dad had scratches all over his hands. Here’s to hoping she never needs bathed again, for both our sakes
My best advice is to get into the bath with your cat, and keep them close. Even if that means they crawl over top of you, after a while they give up all hope of escape and let you do as you will. My cats have gotten used to it and just sit there, occasional meow, cuddle up to me but that’s it
None of my cats have tolerated a bath. They've all tried to run or they've screamed like they were being murdered. Even my most tolerant cat who put up with being manhandled by my then-toddler son.
I have the captions on so I saw that at about 2min in it read [foreign] when she was meowing and I was dying. Then you said at 2:02 "for those of you that don't speak cat" and it officially killed me. I'm dead now. I'm writing this as a posthumous submission.
Back in the early 70's my mother and I decided to bathe "Momma Cat". Momma Cat was cooperative at first. We shut the bathroom door, put her in the tub turned on the water and started to bath her. After about 5 minutes of sudsing her up she had enough. We did get her rinsed of the soap then she turned. First biting, then her claws came out. She clawed and bit my mother and I and we had a horrible time getting out of the bathroom. My mother and I were screaming, and the cat was in a full on attack mode. We made it out with multiple scratches and bites. After drying off and being released from the bathroom a couple hours later she was as sweet as pie. We never bath her again.
@@rac1equalsbestgame853 Yeah, my Mother, and Sister once bathed my sisters cat, and, by the end of it, they looked like they’d been in a battle with Wolverine; that was around 10+ years ago, and they still have the scars to show for it…needless to say, it was the last bath she had haha. The same cat once got something sticky in her fur, so I held her, while my sister used a wet wipe to clean off the substance; in the whole 45 seconds, or so, that it took to clean off the the gunk, I both looked, and felt, like I’d been catapulted through a razor blade factory. But, despite her complete aversion, to any kind of bathing by us, whenever one of us was in the bath, she had to be there, with it often looking like she was getting ready to jump in the tub with us; you had to be constantly on guard, because I can only imagine the scars I’d have had, if she’d leapt in the bath, panicked, and then tried to claw her way out, using my body as a climbing frame haha. She was insane, but also fantastic.
Holy moly! And I thought my cat was fluffy. That's truly an impressively-furred kitty right there. A fully baked loaf indeed She kind of looks like a Spicy Mayo cousin because of the floof amounts
My haters throw rocks at me and IT hurts. I hope they don't throw The Rock at me because I like him as an actor. GAGAGAGAGA!!! I am funny!!! I am the funniest RUclipsr EVAH! Please agree, dear fli
this cat is just like mine lmao- she’s an absolute sweetheart, except when it comes to grooming. if she doesn’t actually see the brush she’ll purr, but if she realizes i’m not just petting her she’ll start growling. we call her honey bee bc she’s sweet but occasionally a little spicy.
I use you angry flood videos as inspiration for trying to groom my own, I have 3 Maine coons and one has much longer hair and gets very matted and takes a lot of grooming... But your videos fill me with hope ...
If you have Maine coons, there is hope. They generally love water, if you introduce it properly. I miss my maine coon buddies, but because of my daughter bringing home other cats (and boys, to boot), I can't have a Maine Coon. Pet limits are there for a reason.
I love how food driven she is. We've tried to bribe my cats with those same sort of treats (we call them kitty gogurts) but if you're trying to bring them anywhere near water all interest is lost in anything but escape. Even Mia is mild-mannered by comparison, because at least she isn't acting like death is imminent. You know, for her at least >_>
I gotta wonder sometimes if cats aren’t more like toddlers in that things they would NEVER let their person do at home, they’ll go along with a little better for a cat-savvy outsider. I used to nanny and generally got kids to eat foods that parents couldn’t convince them to try, get ready faster than they would for mom and dad and follow directions better. I think kids and animals intuitively know they can manipulate immediate family in ways others won’t fall for 😉
@@revolutionfrommahbed4246 it pretty much boils down to different expectations. You know you can get away with some things--or not-- _because_ its your parents. The opposite can happen too though. Pushing boundaries because the other person _isn't_ your parents.
I really do enjoy watching you groom angry floofs 😂 I don't want you to get hurt but I freaking love sassy cats! My cat is sassy and my goodness I love her for it. They're like a free source of entertainment 😂
Re: this channel, it's the cats and the huskies that are my favorites, usually (although the unusual animals are fun, too). They just seem to have the most personality on average.
Commendable that you removed the hamster globe SEVERAL times to give her opportunities to adjust to the grooming. Cats are cats though and we are thankful you got through this with as few scratches as possible!
She is a dangerous lady! Oooh I love her whiskers! So long! I love cats. Cat pictures, cat videos, whenever I see a cat anywhere it makes me so happy ❤️❤️❤️
my 9 year old cat "Bandit" was sitting on the floor by my feet when I started watching this video. When the growling started, he immediately sat up ears pointed straight up, looked up at the computer then at me and started walking around the room looking for the owner of the growling. Then he walked out the room probably in search of the another cat or his food dish
She sounds like my engine when I forget it's running and crank it again. Other than the sailors' mouth and fluff-fu, she seems surprisingly workable (no parkour, writhing, bouts of energetic kitty drama).
I suspect my shelter-adopted Norwegian was the product of a kitten mill. She's thankfully healthy, but that also means she doesn't really know how to be a NWF lol. She's kitten sized despite being from a gigantic breed and, most of all, she'll sit there meowing in confusion while being bathed. Not distress or hatred, just "Why? What is this liquid? Why am I here??"
I just wanna say thank you me and my family have been going thru a rough patch in life mentally, physically and financially ur videos help me so much thank you
kitty means it :) like, "get away, this is serious." I guess the growl is less intense of a warning! A growl is the cat communicating she is not happy. I'm a cat person but my cat rarely growled if ever, so im not sure. But Mia's case is pretty clear: growl means, im not happy, getting angry. Hiss means I'm gonna get ya if you don't back away right now :D
Mia was a Pallas cat in her previous life. She’s upset that she’s domestic in this life and must be groomed by the human peasants. She’s absolutely gorgeous, though🥰
@@reyesrivera2588 Pallas' Cat is a wildcat species of Central Asia to the Middle East, known for its low-lying ears and very expressive face. Very fluffy and inquisitive cat species, 10/10. Mia (who looks like she has Norwegian Forest Cat and Persian ancestors herself) was probably just really nervous, maybe she had a bad experience with a previous groomer.
She was actually really good. She could have got you so many times right before she actually did. She must like you. I like your gentle manner. I also enjoyed hearing the cameraman talking to her as well. Too funny. Love your channel.
She went from "no" to "hell no" to "ahhhhhhh" and then right back to "hell no" 🤣 emotional damage Rollercoaster 🤦🏾♀️ you are a true animal warrior! Love the video! Gorgeous pet of the day 😍
Years ago I got in the middle of a cat and dog disagreement and was tagged multiple times by the cat - very deep very nasty bites. I don’t remember what antibiotics they put in that shot but I had to get it in my rear and it burned all the way down to my ankle.
The fact you can keep them there for so long is admirable. The moment i try giving meds or comb any of the cats at the shelter a little they flip and run
2:34 The best shot!! Btw, I wear a thick canvas jacket and a flannel underneath when I have to bathe my cat-- Your bare arms and her growls definitely made me nervous.
Mia's adorable and she's got a gorgeous coat!! But she's no spicy Mayo, and I bet you're glad for that!! Can confirm cat bites are no joke. Ours bit my hubs and two days later, his arm was red and sore. ER gave him heavy duty antibiotics and he's ok. Cats are just furry Komodo dragons irl!

She was insane, but also fantastic.
The meow backs from the groomer always gets me 😂😂
i just found this channel and cannot stop watching
I love when you say "you lost your privileges" and hamster mode for Mia 😂
Mia:*hiss*grrrowl* snarl* mrrow*
Other cats: She's so pretty, but her vocabulary, good grief!
LOL Do you groom your mother with that mouth?
She curses like a sailor 😂
Mia is quite the potty mouth 😂
I love that I'm not the only one that cannot help but meow back at cats when they are vocalizing
Holy moly! And I thought my cat was fluffy. That's truly an impressively-furred kitty right there. A fully baked loaf indeed
She kind of looks like a Spicy Mayo cousin because of the floof amounts
My haters throw rocks at me and IT hurts. I hope they don't throw The Rock at me because I like him as an actor. GAGAGAGAGA!!! I am funny!!! I am the funniest RUclipsr EVAH! Please agree, dear fli
She sure does. At first I thought it was our favorite Spicy Mayo.
I thought the same thing! There is a resemblence!
Haven't you seen mayonnaise?
@@mello4392 yes, their coat is somewhat similiar in floof
Her face is so floofy her fur sticks out of her space helmet! I love her
this cat is just like mine lmao- she’s an absolute sweetheart, except when it comes to grooming. if she doesn’t actually see the brush she’ll purr, but if she realizes i’m not just petting her she’ll start growling. we call her honey bee bc she’s sweet but occasionally a little spicy.
I use you angry flood videos as inspiration for trying to groom my own, I have 3 Maine coons and one has much longer hair and gets very matted and takes a lot of grooming... But your videos fill me with hope ...
If you have Maine coons, there is hope. They generally love water, if you introduce it properly. I miss my maine coon buddies, but because of my daughter bringing home other cats (and boys, to boot), I can't have a Maine Coon. Pet limits are there for a reason.
I love how food driven she is. We've tried to bribe my cats with those same sort of treats (we call them kitty gogurts) but if you're trying to bring them anywhere near water all interest is lost in anything but escape.
Even Mia is mild-mannered by comparison, because at least she isn't acting like death is imminent.
You know, for her at least >_>
I gotta wonder sometimes if cats aren’t more like toddlers in that things they would NEVER let their person do at home, they’ll go along with a little better for a cat-savvy outsider. I used to nanny and generally got kids to eat foods that parents couldn’t convince them to try, get ready faster than they would for mom and dad and follow directions better. I think kids and animals intuitively know they can manipulate immediate family in ways others won’t fall for 😉
Your cat needs a space helmet to safely roam near water
@@revolutionfrommahbed4246 it pretty much boils down to different expectations. You know you can get away with some things--or not-- _because_ its your parents. The opposite can happen too though. Pushing boundaries because the other person _isn't_ your parents.
I love your sense of humor.
“You lost your privileges” had me laughing so hard😂
I really do enjoy watching you groom angry floofs 😂
I don't want you to get hurt but I freaking love sassy cats! My cat is sassy and my goodness I love her for it. They're like a free source of entertainment 😂
Oh that makes me miss my cat sooooo much (been gone for 9 years, but always in my heart, getting misty eyed right now). He was the King of sass! 😸👑
Re: this channel, it's the cats and the huskies that are my favorites, usually (although the unusual animals are fun, too). They just seem to have the most personality on average.
3:21 "You've lost your privileges" become H A M P T E R
Commendable that you removed the hamster globe SEVERAL times to give her opportunities to adjust to the grooming. Cats are cats though and we are thankful you got through this with as few scratches as possible!
She is a dangerous lady! Oooh I love her whiskers! So long!
I love cats. Cat pictures, cat videos, whenever I see a cat anywhere it makes me so happy ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah, tbh that's the main draw for the cat videos on this channel, for me. "This channel + cats."
my 9 year old cat "Bandit" was sitting on the floor by my feet when I started watching this video. When the growling started, he immediately sat up ears pointed straight up, looked up at the computer then at me and started walking around the room looking for the owner of the growling. Then he walked out the room probably in search of the another cat or his food dish
She sounds like my engine when I forget it's running and crank it again.
Other than the sailors' mouth and fluff-fu, she seems surprisingly workable (no parkour, writhing, bouts of energetic kitty drama).
I am slightly jealous, ngl. Wish my cat would tolerate a bath.
😂😂 her confused “What the hell??” expression as you’re putting on the hamster ball (the second time) 😂😂
I love your cat grooming videos
I have a Norwegian and he will literally jump into the bathtub with me LOL ❤
Mine hates the water you're so lucky 😭 To be fare, he's scared of everything lmao
My Tomcat does it too - The little maniac loves water!
My maine coon did that as well. She was my first kitty. I was totally unprepared for the "normal" cats I loved after her passing.
Norwegian Forest cats are known for taking baths in the jacuzzi with their owners so that does not surprise me.
I suspect my shelter-adopted Norwegian was the product of a kitten mill. She's thankfully healthy, but that also means she doesn't really know how to be a NWF lol. She's kitten sized despite being from a gigantic breed and, most of all, she'll sit there meowing in confusion while being bathed. Not distress or hatred, just "Why? What is this liquid? Why am I here??"
hugs for the girls with the pets
Just a mound of angry fluff. I love her.
I just wanna say thank you me and my family have been going thru a rough patch in life mentally, physically and financially ur videos help me so much thank you
I love how you communicate back to her in meows. So cute
3:10 Thats the first time I have ever seen a cat slow blink and growl at the same time!
I suspect she is so good at sounding angry, she can just relax while she does it 😂
Every single time I see a cat described as sassy, my mind goes back to homeward bound.
Thank you for always treating your critters with love, respect, and kindness. Sending you hugs from Vancouver!
"My ancestors were worshiped as gods."
Hamster ball
""Well, this isn't turning out as anticipated."
Those were some strong hisses! Like, she was letting some deep emotions through! 😂
kitty means it :) like, "get away, this is serious." I guess the growl is less intense of a warning! A growl is the cat communicating she is not happy. I'm a cat person but my cat rarely growled if ever, so im not sure. But Mia's case is pretty clear: growl means, im not happy, getting angry. Hiss means I'm gonna get ya if you don't back away right now :D
You are SO BRAVE!!
As a fellow Mia who also gets hangry, I totally relate to the growling and swats! 😂😂 I may or may not have growled and hissed when hungry! 😤😂
Mia, Mia might be your spirit animal!
@@AnIdiotsLantern I think so too!! 😂😂
I’m with you !
Yes but have you shaved you sanitary areas and paw pads?
Same
i love how you respond back everytime it meows lol it lets them know that you at least respect its existence lol
My cats always look so concerned during these videos, bless their hearts. 😁
Mia was a Pallas cat in her previous life. She’s upset that she’s domestic in this life and must be groomed by the human peasants. She’s absolutely gorgeous, though🥰
What?
@@reyesrivera2588 Pallas' Cat is a wildcat species of Central Asia to the Middle East, known for its low-lying ears and very expressive face. Very fluffy and inquisitive cat species, 10/10. Mia (who looks like she has Norwegian Forest Cat and Persian ancestors herself) was probably just really nervous, maybe she had a bad experience with a previous groomer.
She's even got the Pallas cat face, too.
@@nievesshiratama3964 she really does
She was actually really good. She could have got you so many times right before she actually did. She must like you. I like your gentle manner. I also enjoyed hearing the cameraman talking to her as well. Too funny. Love your channel.
Yeah, she's even tempered for a fiesty kitty. No rage cage for her
Hangry is such a good word for being angry because you are hungry
Your kitty videos are hysterical! 😂 I LOVE the cat videos!
She went from "no" to "hell no" to "ahhhhhhh" and then right back to "hell no" 🤣 emotional damage Rollercoaster 🤦🏾♀️ you are a true animal warrior! Love the video! Gorgeous pet of the day 😍
cuteness little hissing fluff myster
the bubbling growls of rage 🤣 love the neck fluffs and wittle paws so adorable 🥰
Years ago I got in the middle of a cat and dog disagreement and was tagged multiple times by the cat - very deep very nasty bites. I don’t remember what antibiotics they put in that shot but I had to get it in my rear and it burned all the way down to my ankle.
omg shes got attitude!!! you earned your purple heart gurl!
Better you than me..I have a cat and can barely do his claws! Thanks for sharing!!
I think it's because you are their servant. My cat hates having him paws touched but the vet stuns him into acceptance.
2:21 she's like "I don't need your pity...but I'll take it anyway."
So grumpy~! So angy! You did an amazing job with the cat and the cat's patience!
“You’re a very sassy lady” 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Love your segments, and this time deeply admired your restraint. As well as your rapid reflexes!
Yes, I do "enjoy watching you groom and angry fluff!!!"🤣🤣🤣
The fact you can keep them there for so long is admirable. The moment i try giving meds or comb any of the cats at the shelter a little they flip and run
Cat: “meeoooww”
Groomer: meows back
Cat: And I took that personally
You have such beautiful hair!!!!! Love how much you love every being you care for.
She almost look like a Palace Cat when she closes her eyes when being dried.
2:03 Mia: Fluff you, you fluffing fluffer, you!
You are a brave woman.
2:34 The best shot!!
Btw, I wear a thick canvas jacket and a flannel underneath when I have to bathe my cat-- Your bare arms and her growls definitely made me nervous.
That hiss, at 3:03, says it all 🤣 Mia says, "I've really had enough of you!"
you deserve every bit of your upvotes! Best narrations, amazing abilities....you are among the best of youtube! And I'm picky
Mia's adorable and she's got a gorgeous coat!! But she's no spicy Mayo, and I bet you're glad for that!! Can confirm cat bites are no joke. Ours bit my hubs and two days later, his arm was red and sore. ER gave him heavy duty antibiotics and he's ok. Cats are just furry Komodo dragons irl!
I agree!!
It always makes me laugh when extra floofy cats are in the happy hoody 😂
yea, cant see any face just the fluff.
