My Dad’s cousin had a severe stroke, and all she could say afterward was “Ni ni ni ni.” Whatever you said to her, her answer was “Ni ni ni ni.” We thought she could understand what we said, but it was hard to tell.
That one long comb must look like a tube and Mocha is like „why is she brushing me with a tube instead of FEEDING IT TO ME?“ and then realizes „oh, it’s not a tube“, then 2 seconds later „hey, a tube!“
The good news is that cats often recover very well from strokes. Our sweet late Princess had a stroke when she was 18. Not two days after coming home from the vet clinic she was doing vertical jumps out of her safety play pen and over a baby gate so she could go upstairs and find her person.
I’ve fostered a few wobbly cats and other cats with mobility issues and one thing is that their paws tend to get a little funky over time because of the way they have to carry and brace themselves-their claws get thicker, sometimes the ligaments that control their claws get worn out faster because they’re constantly grabbing onto things or splaying their toes to maintain their balance. You gotta watch out for early arthritis with these guys cos they use their bodies in such a different way!
You’re welcome! I own two cats with no hind limbs and between them and the wobbly, mobility-impaired, and elderly cats I’ve fostered it’s a pretty common trend. Good news is that arthritis treatments have really advanced, and you can talk to your vet about getting them on joint supplements early. Supplements with glucosamine can really help support their joint health and delay the onset of symptoms that might need more serious meds/intervention.
Always good to have a cat obsessed enough with tubes that you can easily clip their nails! Bless you for working on this survivor despite everything. Despite being mad about the whole thing and wobbly, she decided to only scratch a little and sing the song of her people! What a sweet round face she has!
She probably feels she has to eat something while she can since she probably had to work very hard to eat all her life as a barn cat. You were very kind and gentle with her! Wonderful!
Yes, every one of our rescue dogs gulped their food down leaving empty bowls - even if they were the only dog in the household. Our vet said they ate like that because they never used to know when they were going to eat next. Sad really. ☹️
Barn cats have to have reasons to hunt rodents instead of birds and it's being hungry enough. But having a barn cat not be feed enough to the point they feel like they don't know when there next meal is? iiirk
@@cookie856 I'm sure there's theoretically cats out there that need to be hungry in order to hunt, but I've never met any. The instinct attack *anything* that moves like a small rodent or bird is extremely strong in them. My current cat has been an indoor apartment cat all her life. Does that in any way stop her from pouncing on everything that moves now that she temporarily lives with my dad in the countryside? Nope, she's catching at least as many rodents as any of our previous cats - regardless of how well fed she is (and I know dad is spoiling her, he is physically incapable of not sneaking treats to any cat that begs at the table). She doesn't even know what to *do* with the rodents, she just knew she had to catch them and then she comes in to show them off.
She's plumping up nicely from a prior life of barnyard living..good for her. That barn life has nothing on those tubes. She will eat them nonstop if allowed to and she will never regret it.
2:17 I've commented this before, but bathing a cat is like handling a stick of butter with wet hands. 😂 Also, I suspect my cat has spring allergies probably to some kind of pollen. Using air purifiers REALLY helped her allergy symptoms (as well as helped my own). Much love to the very cute wobbly kitty! ❤
Coincidence: I have a 5 month old tortie kitten that I got from the shelter and renamed her 'Mocha'. Seems like the Mocha in the video did well having her bath considering her health issues. Food driven cats are definitely easier to work with.
OMG, my cat and tubes. Lol. She's an elderly cat and enjoys a tube as a nightly meal. She's a gentle cat. Eats when she feels like with dry food but at least a tube is needed and she lets me know at 4:30ish PM every day. The only thing is, that I can't touch her when she eats. Lol.
I had a cat that hated being brushed. He was a long haired thick coated boy so he needed to be brushed. The only was to brush him was to put some treats in front of him. He would growl while eating the treats. You could brush and trim his nails while he was eating the treats. He would not bite while eating those treats. Miss you Jareth you little goblin kitty.
She is a sweetly just doesn’t want anyone to know it. I have an outside cat who behaves like her. Hiss hiss then purrs so loud you can hear her a block away.

It is either asthma or she could have polyps
"CURSE YOU, GROOMER!! I HEREBY VOW YOU WILL RUE THIS DA- ooh tube!"
😂😂😂😂
You speak cat!!! 😂😂
Hahahah
unexpected Igon reference.
😂😂😂 Spot on
My grandfather had several strokes and the only words he could say clearly were curse words. I think the same may apply here. 😂
My Dad’s cousin had a severe stroke, and all she could say afterward was “Ni ni ni ni.” Whatever you said to her, her answer was “Ni ni ni ni.” We thought she could understand what we said, but it was hard to tell.
@@censusgary My friend's grandmother could definitely understand what was said to her, but only reply "I love your life"
@@janelte If I had to say the same four words exclusively for the rest of my life, I would prefer “I love your life” to “Ni ni ni ni.”
@@censusgary did anyone ever buy her a shrubbery? Just to see if she'd glare at them.
That is both sad and funny. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤❤
Not going to lie, I love Vanessa's new 'Easy Bake Oven' for drying cats! Nice job on Mocha!
I hope she calls it that after seeing your comment. She has the Rage Cage and now the Easy Bake Oven. LOL
bruh
thats a good name
This needs to be the name 😂
And now I hope it has a timer with a bell, so when your fluff-muffin is done, it goes _DING!_ 😂😂😂
@@alexisgrunden1556 Not a Microwave, but a Cattowave?
I love her purrs. They sound like a cement mixer.
I had a cat with asthma so he had a gravelly purr even though his asthma was well controlled. I loved that sound.
@@shroomyk i have a gravelly purrer :3 shes a lil bean
Sound like Joey Diaz. Tremendous.
I have human asthma. Does the gravelly purring mean she's having an asthma attack? Hope not because asthma attacks are as uncomfortable AF.
Cute dry box
Vanessa: She's breathing like that because she has allergies.
Mocha: Allergic to groomers.
As much as I admire Vanessa she does make amateur diagnoses now and then.
I should have said non-qualified, not amateur.
@lindap8101 And you completely missed she got confirmation from the owners that the cat has allergies 🙄
@@lindap8101 She literally said that she got confirmation from the owners that the cat has allergies, though.
@@obligatorychannel8890
Yes, after she said she thought the cat had feline asthma.
That one long comb must look like a tube and Mocha is like „why is she brushing me with a tube instead of FEEDING IT TO ME?“ and then realizes „oh, it’s not a tube“, then 2 seconds later „hey, a tube!“
I totally agree! I'd be mad if someone was trying to brush me with my cookie or chicken finger! 😂
We need a compilation of the cameraman slowly warming up to cats over time. It’s genuinely so wholesome 💜
I agree!!
CAMERAMAN! ASSIST!
That’s a Hallmark Xmas movie right there!
Love the "making up for all the cats who deny tubes" 😄
3:55
Just the comment I was looking for!
Hearing that a cat can have a stroke broke me a little and made me go hug my 14 year old kitty 🥺

thank you for this info!!
Thank you! My elderly kitty’s claws have been changing like that lately, so it’s good to know a cause!
I have a mobility challenges, and this all applies to my feet as well.😊
@@2shy1151yep. Me too.

Mocha at the end was like "Can I get some tube to go?"
"I am Mocha! Queen of the Night! Hear me roar and prepare to quake when I...ooh! Food!"
I love how she went after the comb as if it was another tube xD
Poor kitty, having a stroke, and having to be groomed. She said a thing or two, heard purring. She is beautiful ❤️
She seems so amazing and cute
its gotta be a weird af experience for a former barn cat, she did insanely well considering that
4:23 "Wait where's my treat? You tricked me!"
I find her wobbling makes her look even more tube obsessed. Seems like a very cute cat.
She probably feels she has to eat something while she can since she probably had to work very hard to eat all her life as a barn cat. You were very kind and gentle with her! Wonderful!
That’s a good observation

Barn cats get some kibble twice a day when the cows are milked. You need them healthy enough to hunt.
Mocha is 90% tube 10% cat
You did her dirty in the end, pretending to give her a tube for her to go in 😂😂😂
I love how she tried to get back out of the carrier for more tubes 😂
Mocha is a very pretty and understandably irritated lady. I'm glad she has loving owners.
Shes so freaking adorable. What a good girl. She handled that pretty well considering. You were very patient with her! what a sweet mocha kitty
She's so cute! Little puppet! 🥺 Kitty-cat stole the cameraman's heart!
She's plumping up nicely from a prior life of barnyard living..good for her. That barn life has nothing on those tubes. She will eat them nonstop if allowed to and she will never regret it.
It’s her retirement, lol.
She seems so sweet but showed her spicy side… love the new drying crate… it looks like a laundry dryer machine
It really does, now that you said it!
@keelhe893 Mocha isn't spicy she sweet cat. Not a spicy bone in her body
"Go in your house"
"But you have endless tubes, and I intend to stretch that for all I can!"
She has a gorgeous coat, and for a former barn cat, she seems quite tame (with tubes).
2:17 I've commented this before, but bathing a cat is like handling a stick of butter with wet hands. 😂
Also, I suspect my cat has spring allergies probably to some kind of pollen. Using air purifiers REALLY helped her allergy symptoms (as well as helped my own). Much love to the very cute wobbly kitty! ❤
Wow I thought my cats like tube, but Mocha is like “Give me the TUBE NOW”. My rescue stray will follow me anywhere for a tube.
You're very cute, Mocha!! I'm glad you are still here with us despite your stroke. I enjoyed watching you get your spa day. ❤
Her little grunt purrs were so cute, oh my goodness.
She is so precious. I love loud purrers and vocal kitties. She takes after my wife. Nothing else really matters when there are snacks involved
That accusatory look at the cameraman in the shower just got to me XD her in the Floofbox was so sweet
She definitely mad. You are so so wonderful with the most vulnerable little ones.
“Thank you, please come again” ❤
1:16 she's not taking any interviews at this time, thank you
😂 I love that Venessa held the mic by the cat's bum. I sure hope no answers come out that end!
Mocha says "food that I don't have to chase! Bliss!"
Five tubes. ‘And they were delicious.’ 😂 I bet!!
Tube's are your life savers
"Hi, my name is Mocha and I'm addicted to tubes."
You go girl! Some serious moves for a feline post-stroke!
2:55 Kitty in the meowcrowave on high @ 4min.
😅😅😅
Convection oven.
Edit: Oh, _meow_ crowave. Hmm. Catvection?

Her meow sounds like a buzz saw
3:00...and bake at 20°C for 15-20 mins. Allow to cool before brushing.
What a lovely Tabby ❤
She's looking for her tube. She's like, "Lady, you owe me a tube." 😅😅
What a spicy little wobbler! 😆
Gorgeous cat.
Mocha is full of latte attitude! So cute 😻
Espresso!
I've known several cats that have been obsessed with food. It's nice to see one here. It make grooming so much easier!
I hope the makes of the tube treats has provided you with a lifetime supply!
They definitely need to sponsor her
My cat would like to thank you for showing tubes in your videos. He has a new favorite treat. 😁
Oh, she got the new cat toaster oven! Nice! Mocha is so cute! Even with the snuffle-y allergies.
Tube is life!!!!! Lol 🤣
Shes very pretty! Good thing she loves tube
Her personality is so cute omg
Wow! That’s the first time I’ve seen the small cat bathtub placed in the walk-in shower. Way to adapt to Mocha’s needs 👍🏽
I love Miss Mocha! And all the tubes.
Poor little wobbly girl. She’s adorable!
OMG, my cat and tubes. Lol. She's an elderly cat and enjoys a tube as a nightly meal. She's a gentle cat. Eats when she feels like with dry food but at least a tube is needed and she lets me know at 4:30ish PM every day. The only thing is, that I can't touch her when she eats. Lol.
Your touch and attention to those beautiful friends who have health and physical issues is a joy. Gentle and caring. Thank you. 💙🌻💙
with the reflexes to pull it off.
She looks cuddly 🥹
This is one gluttonous cat
Tube is life
Hey, if I was a cat I wouldnt care how fat larded I got. Treats galore?! Heck ya!! Gimme!!
So glad you have the new drying crate for Mocha. She doesn't have to run around or try to stand. Nice job Vanessa.
I had a cat that hated being brushed. He was a long haired thick coated boy so he needed to be brushed. The only was to brush him was to put some treats in front of him. He would growl while eating the treats. You could brush and trim his nails while he was eating the treats. He would not bite while eating those treats. Miss you Jareth you little goblin kitty.
I think she was expecting at least 9 tubes. 😂😂😂 The allergies didn't keep her from smelling the contents of the tube. You do such good work!
0:45 "oh yes, that's the spot" 🐱
Mocha's grunts actually reminded me of a little pig. Haha, really funny and cute ❤
Our ex barn cat does a "grunt wheeze" when he purrs too. If you put your hand on his side it feels like a regular cat purr.
Such a sweet nature, she put up with a lot before you got a hiss.
There is no groomer, there is only tube. 3:13
2:32 the look of betrayal at the camera man
I love your handling of cats. Also that cat dryer is fantastic. It must make your grooming of cats A LOT easier.
Miss Mocha is adorable 😻😻😻😻🥰
Mocha was just so adorable. Very good singing voice. My kitten loves Tubes also. Another fantastic grooming by cat whisperer Vanessa.
❤❤❤🐈🐈🐈
What a goofy girl! She’s a pretty girl even if she sounds like a diesel pick up truck.
Vanessa you were right on the money as asthma in cats is usually caused by allergens.
"Please Come Aga-" Mocha immediately turns to do so
A silicone lick mat with suction cups on the back would allow you to give the tubes etc hands free.
Her cuteness is on full display thanks to you.
Mocha says Vanessa IS very annoying human, and I must scratch you! Then I will Hiss. But I can be temporarily bribed with dozens of tubes😂.
Vanessa: "she mad."
Mocha: "RAAAAAAAAWWWWWRRRRRRRR"
Ha ha the part at the end where she tried to get out of her house to get more tubes
Her sounds remind me of Marge's chain-smoking sisters on The Simpson's. I imagine her sounding like that if she spoke human English! 😂
Once re-entered in her crate... hey wait where's my tube?
She is such a beautiful and adorable cat. Amazing!! 🐾❤
Barn cats are the best. The only kind of cats that love belly scratches.
Please come again
The cat - okay I’ll exit my house right now
Aw bless her. She's doing great all things considered ❤
She's so beautiful, so cute, her fur pattern is so unique ❤
She's adorable! Little furry snuffling tube monster ❤
4:13 😂 not her sniffing the house, debating if she should return...cos now it doesn't smell as nice as herself 😂❤
She has the same coat pattern as my chubby boy Bear!!!! ADORABLE!!!!
LOL still love how shes calls it tubes.
Aww I love this kitty, what a sweet little girl. 🥺💗
She was going to town on the tubes, sheesh🤣
Wobbly Barn Cat had great manors as long as there was tube feeding!
She is a sweetly just doesn’t want anyone to know it. I have an outside cat who behaves like her. Hiss hiss then purrs so loud you can hear her a block away.
