Are you afraid to groom your own pet without guidance? Or maybe you'd like to save on grooming costs? I've created a course tailored specifically for the pet parent. In this course, we will cover all the basis, from bathing, brushing, nail trimming, paw shaving, and a full body haircut. Use this link to sign up today: girlwiththedogs.com/gwtd-course
I was wondering how do you sharpen your razor blade and what tools (sharpener) do you use for it ? Would you be able to recommend something for me ? This morning, we dismounted our razor and remove the hair from it thinking that we would have a better tool when shaving our evil poodle named Jambon. It didn't work since the razor still functioned like hell. I always hear you saying you have to sharpen your blade when you use it on cats because of their sensible skin but I'm still clueless on the techniques. Would it be possible to you so show us on your channel ? Thank you so much ! I really enjoy everything you do for your community.
small typo: *basics 🤓
A cat quite like myself very food motivated and love my ganja
Will you be providing a cat bathing tutorial in the future?

To answer the comments directed to Oliver’s paw-rents: 1) he has been checked for hyperthyroidism and diabetes, he’s just weird. The vets had the same thoughts and were equally surprised lol, so we just follow their dietary instructions 2) his gabapentin is only for travel, he gets extremely anxious in the car and we had to travel a bit to get to Vanessa. If only it suppressed his appetite… 3) thank you for all of the compliments on our beautiful boy!! We (including Oliver) appreciate your kindness
Oliver is adorable and a really good boy 😻
It was fun to watch Oliver being bathed. His coat really must be dense.
All cats are weird,each in their own way. Oliver is awesome. Like him, I can tolerate just about anything if there's food.
Some cats are just foodaholics… we’ve had one. My friend has one too.
According to Vanessa, he's a VERY strong boy. I'm sure all the food goes right to his muscles!!!
I don't think Oliver's name is a mistake. He's like, "Please Sir, I want some more!".
Perfect. Or should I say "purr-fect?"
Perfect, a literary reference to Dickens novel
🤣🤣🤣
His personality is fundamentally food glorious food
@@mimisezlol Hot sardines and mustard! While we're in the mood, Churu tubes and tuna custard!
Oliver is absolutely hilarious. From half falling asleep, half fighting in the bath to his "ooh food the bath doesn't exist" moment to him finding the hole in the rage cage he was a riot from beginning to end.
Fr XD
Vanessa, I am once again begging you for a calendar of silly animals with happy hoodies on, because the faces they make are just fantastical 🤣
Please do then shut up and take all the monies for them! ❤
Hear hear!
She should do one of those page-a-day calendars! 365 Happy Hoodie pictures!!!
@@stephaniemorrissey5114 haha 100%. I know at least 4 people in my life I would buy that for!
Surprised that he’s not overweight despite being so food motivated. His owner must be doing a good job to keeping an eye on his weight.
I am thinking they keep the food in a safe that requires thumbs to open.
Exactly what I was thinking. Very responsible owners!
@@Apollyon67🤗z"!2iozxuzu7
@@pcastrohpMaybe he has a medical issue that hasn't been addressed like diabetes which absolutely can contribute to excessive hunger( polyphagia)
I was also thinking diabetes
I saw the title & I had to do a double take cus I read this as “I groomed a cat while on drugs” and I was like “HUH I’m sorry?!” 😅😂
😂😂
Same here. Not disappointed tho!
Punctuation is key.
That would actually make more sense lol
Now, THAT, I'd like to see... 🤣😂
One of the few cats that didn't run into their carrier. He was waiting for you to give him more treats. Pretty cat.
He looks so delightfully soft at the end. He is so unashamedly food motivated I could picture him calmly chowing down on a treat before a field of barking dogs in the middle of a lightning storm 😂
Laying down mid bath in silent protest. Then all it takes is a treat, with no hoodie on. And he couldn't careless about the water. What an oddball cat, maybe one of the best behaved I've seen on your channel. Cute, quirky little guy.
Typical British Shorthair, they are the best kitties
If you were buzzed on Gabapentin you’d kinda behave too ;-)
He's on gabapentin. I had it prescribed for myself once, and it makes you feel so drunk and dizzy!
@positiveraincloud Same! I know exactly what that poor little guy is going through - it can be a disorienting medication 100%
@@PositiveRaincloudweird, i take it sometimes for anxiety, and all it does is calm me down. no drunk or dizzy feeling
Vanessa; " ok, go in your house. Why aren't you going in your house?" Oliver; " Because there's still food out here!" LOL! 😂
Yeah, he was clearly sniffing around looking for more food.
I have to agree, he was hoping for more Churrus.
Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oliver trying to escape via the arm holes is the funniest thing I've seen all day XD
I had a food obsessed cat. He knew a lot of tricks because it was great for training, but I needed to be careful about portion control so he didn't turn into a fur covered basketball.
He's has a nice physique for such a chow hound
This to me looks like that disorder where the brain does not shut off the hunger trigger after detecting food in the stomach. It definitely seems like the owners are keeping a good care of the cat though, this is 100% their positive doing
Gabapentin is a hell of a drug.
@DavidCowie2022 that made me laugh. Lol
@@turkizno I think that's Prader-Willi syndrome. I could be wrong tho.
@@MyLadyPandaI think that’s a possibility that explains for always feeling hungry
Thank you so much Vanessa! This video turned out wonderful, my family has been laughing and absolutely loving this! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!❤️
Oliver's a wonderful boy. His groom was a delight to see. Bonus, I developed an unreasonable passion for British Shorthairs a few years ago, for no particular reason that I can figure out. I've never even met one. I just saw a photo for the umpteenth time, and wham! So I loved seeing Oliver. Thanks for sharing him. Please give him some extra scritches through that plush fur from me.
Aw thank you!! He certainly will get some extra pets today!
May I just say you have done an excellent job as an owner keeping his weight in check. I know that cannot be easy, especially with him being so clever and a consummate food ninja. I salute you.
Oliver is a beautiful well behaved fur baby..just love him🥰🥰🥰
Himbs a hambsome boy.
That stoned cat with it’s face poked out of the rage cage was gold! Thanks Vanessa. ❤🇦🇺🐾🎄
When he sticks his head out of the hole in the rage cage... so frickin' cute! 😄
"Oliver is food motivated..." I can relate. 😂
I'm on a see food diet. If I see food and I like it. Imma gonna eat it.
Me too!
I have a cat like this! he is EXTREMELY food motivated, and buff!! We have do to so much to keep him away from human food, we got a trashcan with a lid, a babygate(failure), and an automatic dispenser so he get a tiny amount regularly. He was a stray tomcat so he's insecure about his meals, luckily he isn't overweight!
Oliver's parents are doing a wonderful job on his diet. It's not easy controlling the diet of a cat this gluttonous 😂
@@dereksbooks it's definitely difficult! he looks very healthy🐈⬛
Same! We got a stray and he is so so food motivated. When we first got him, he would eat so fast that he would be ill, and we were told it was due to food insecurity. We have to weigh all his food, and shut the kitchen door when we are not in there, he is extremely vocal when he wants food and just screams at us like a grumpy crow. He took to waking us up at unseasonable hours and then running to the kitchen! We tried a baby gate (fail), and now just have a timed feeder in the hall for a very early breakfast. He also gets reflux and has to have meds!
@@sadlynomicah oh gosh, I'm glad you've gotten him a bit more under control!
My brother has a British Shorthair called Max, it seems to be in the breed to be so food motivated. They tried a bin with a lid where you push the top gently and the lid opens, Max broke that by jumping on it to get onto the kitchen counter looking for food. My sister-in-law loves to serve nibbles before a meal and we all spend our time moving Max away from the food. It's so funny watching him try to sneak past us. He's never tried to steal food from the dinner table though, so he has some manners. He also has the most bizarre way of sleeping, it's like he can't be bothered to hold his own head up so he'll lay by the coffee table or on the sofa next to a cushion and rest his chin on it.
My sister's cat Lucy was food obsessed. She was found as a kitten outdoors in the winter nearly dead from hypothermia and mild brain damage so we think that had something to do with it. For several years of her life she literally just sat by her food bowl waiting for more food. She'd only leave it if she thought there was food somewhere else. As she's gotten older and feels more secure she's much less obsessed. She still loves food way more than the average cat but she actually naps and plays and doesn't just sit by her food bowl all day.
He’s adorable. Credit to his humans for not letting him get fat.
I love Oliver's narratorial introduction followed by the gem “Oliver likes to steal food off the table, so they lock him up at dinner time” lol.
Gabapentin is such a strong med, I cant believe he was able to move around that much!!! I had a kitty with neurological disease which caused massive behavioral changes. She was prescribed this drug and she slept through baths.
And here I am taking 1800 Mg of it before going to work every day 😅🤣. It helps with nerve damage, which I have a fair amount of due to injuries in my lower back and right arm. Edited for clarity
I have a tortie that I bottle-raised after she was abandoned. She has major tortitude and hates everyone, especially children. She hates her paws messed with and vet appointments are...interesting. She ends up getting 100mg of gabapentin before vet visits to sedate her enough so the vet can handle her and such. Even then she'll get an adrenaline surge and push through the sedation. I hope I never have to bathe her, because I'm not sure even being drugged would work for her.
Most cats don't have a strong enough reaction to literally sleep through visits. For really fractious cats it's usually *just* enough to make them somewhat manageable.
@masterdisciple6542 had a cat once that had to be brought to the clinic like 3 or 4 separate times on differing sedation meds and amounts because by the time he got in, he was ready to fight
My boy had gabapentin just to get nail trims. And he moved just fine with that in his system. LOL
“Vengeance will be mine!”Sayeth the Cat! “Oh, wait. You have food?? All is forgiven!” 😂
😂I have never seen a cat THAT obsessed over food, Wow! I am still giggling over his many comical faces during that groom❤
Oliver didn't go back in the house because he knew the Churu was outside the house.
Oliver is ridiculously adorable. His facial expressions were hilarious. I hope we can see more of Oliver in 2024. 😻
He's like, I don't want to go back in my house, the treats are out here!! Beautiful boy! I hope his obsession with food isn't a medical condition. My poor boy was food motivated and he turned out to be diabetic. He was sooo pathetically thin under all his fur. You did a wonderful job as usual.
He doesn’t have diabetes nor any other medical condition that would cause him to over eat. His pawrents posted he was tested. He’s just a unique cat.
😂😂❤ The escape attempt from the "see-through-cage-of-wind" was 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏
When he put his head through the air hole I nearly jumped off the sofa 😂😂
Me too!
I'm surprised he isn't overweight with an appetite such as his. His owners must take really good care of him.
Love British shorthairs, they are so expressive! Oliver is a very dapper gentleman!✌🏻🫶🏻
Good job! I work for a vet, those food focused kitties are some of the best patients 😊
Really strong and obsessed with food. This cat would make a good anime protagonist
When you told us he was on drugs, I thought it was because he had anger management issues or anxiety. I had no idea it was because he was hungry all the time. 😂 😂 Silly me.
I need a drug like that to manage my overactive appetite, but it would have to have no bad side effects.
Sadly, gabapentin is an appetite stimulant. Its making the cat feel even hungrier.
I feel like my cat is obsessed with eating as well despite being thin. She is in the kitchen without fail every morning when j get up. Tries to eat the leftover food in the bowls of the other two cats. Always looking for food. Stealing any chicken off the counter that's left out for a split second. Comes up to me whenever I'm eating poultry expecting a taste. She's adorable really.
1:40 TIMBERRRRRR 😂😂😂
Oliver in happy hoodie trying to escape the rage cage via the hand hole. My favourite scene of the video, Oliver is a very beautiful cat! Nice job as usual Vanessa!
He looked like a cute lil seal
Oliver is so funny! He's almost like a "stoner" kitty with constant munchies! 😂😂😂
Oh, he was adorable! His little personality came threw well, such a good boy ❤
"No thank you Ma'am, I dont wanna go home. I think I'll stay here where the treats are". What a sweet boy! I have one just like him - dense, grey coat and is controlled by foods🤣 But unlike Oliver, my Osvald is VERY round😐
All of Oliver's faces in the happy hoodie are hilarious.
He wants to linger around, in case there are more treats to be had. 😂 Oliver is a very handsome boy. 🤍
The little head in the happy hoodie sticking out of the rage cage was priceless. I needed to smile today😊
OMG! Finding the hole in the “rage cage”! Loved it! Oliver is adorable! Thank you so much for sharing him!
This was probably your funniest cat video yet - the rage cage shenanigans alone were pure gold xD
He's amazingly slim underneath his fur! ❤
Gabapentin is an appetite stimulant in cats I believe. My cat has always chowed down like crazy on it. That’s why he was such a hungry boy.
This cat has nothing over my three Norwich Terriers who are obsessed with food. We don't feed them human food and we watch their diet very carefully. But the way they look and act, you would think we were starving them to death. Actually, we feed them the very finest human grade super expensive food there is. Great dogs. I hope I see them again in heaven along with all the other pets I've had in my 77 years so far.
“Please, miss, I want some more.”
Wow he's a heckin unit when his fur isn't wet lmao. such a handsome boy and you did such an amazing job on him 😻😻😊
He's a healthy size for how insane about food he is! The owners seem to do a good job keeping him HEALTHY and happy!
I had a cat like that.😂 she would grab French fries out of my hands, tack the Doritos bag, and flip for Girls Scout thin mints. She would get chewing gum out of purses, etc. she was a junk food cat.😂
I love Oliver's shmush face in the happy hoodie!
Gabapenton can be quite amusing. Old roommate's cat had to be on it for a couple operations, became such a cuddly little guy when he usually was just a cranky old man. Had to watch him to make sure he didn't decide to swandive down the stairs as well.
Oliver is one of those babies who manages to fill his family's life with every-day laughter! Such a hilarious and easy going boy
this cat is killing me i have NEVER seen a cat forget everything around them exists when they get a treat 😂😂
Definitely Oliver Twist. He’s all about “Food Glorious Food”
2:41 this frame 😂 lmao this cat is the cutest ❤
People here amazed at how healthy he looks while being food motivated, as if it's not as easy as *not* free feeding dry food 😂
I have to say I'm glad he's being seen by a vet as that's incredibly unusual behaviours for a cat. You did a lovely job with him and his coat looked wonderful, what a well mannered gentleman Oliver was.... as long as he was fed 😊😂
The gaba is most likely for some other issue the cat has and is what is making him food obsessed (Gaba is an appetite stimulant)
2:35 Hello there!
Gabapentin increases appetite, causes dizziness, falling, twitching eyes and other assorted oddities.❤
He seems like he'd be cool to hang out with.
Vanessa, THANK YOU to you and Oliver!!! I desperately needed to laugh today and I'm not sure which was funnier, your narration or his antics.
This is definitely one of the most entertaining grooming sessions! Oliver is one very funny cat!
Oliver’s facial expressions were hilarious 🤪. Wow he can eat but he is not chunky at all, amazing.🙀💕🐾
Thank you for helping me be a bit more certain about something. See, I rescued a cat off the street a decade ago and I've been thinking that he might be part British Shorthair. Mostly because his coat is super thick and very soft. After seeing this video, I'm a lot more certain of it. He also gets the gunk buildup in his eyes and is super strong. Also, this cat really does seem to have a similar coat by the look of it. Thanks! You educated me a bit today.
I don't think I've ever laughed so much at any of your other videos as I did during this one. What a cat!
Oliver didn't want to go back in the carrier because he knew there was churro outside of it.
Oliver: "The colors, man, the colors!"🤪😵💫
This was the cuteness I needed today. 💜💯
He’s hilariously adorable and high! You say food motivated I say the munchies! 💕
Oh my goodness! I chuckled through the whole groom. Oliver was, indeed, comical as well as adorable. At least he didn't try to 'murder' you like some of the cats you've groomed.
He’s gonna need an intervention.
For a cat so obsessed with food, the owners have done a remarkable job keeping him at healthy weight.
Oliver is awesome! What a beautiful boy! 🥰
OLIVER is precious 💕 and you did a great job!
What else ya got to eat here? Thank you so much for the giggles. Oliver is a beautiful feline who reminds me of a sneaky, food motivated cat I had decades ago. He made me laugh too. The tag teaming and rage cage escape attempt were worth a second watch.
Girl, I LOVE what you're doing! Keep up the wonderful work! 🙂
He's got the Munchies! 😂
I have a cat that came as a stray one night, peering into my window, crying; her body covered in sleet. 9 years later, she of course, “rules the roost,” but apparently, from that time of hunger, she still has anxiety if the bottom of the food dish shines through, or if I simply take up her dish to clean and refill. Over the years, she grew quite portly from constantly eating, but in her dotage, has thinned out a bit. Now, she really needs a tummy tuck!
I just love your channel..never gets old, thank you
I love your rage cage, I've never seen something like that before. Love your videos! ❤❤❤
Oliver is just a hungry guy 😂
His fur at the end looks somehow a combination of soft, fluffy, and sleek
The ending where you had to push him into the box was the most hilarious for me xD
Oliver has to be one of the cutest cats you groomed
Oliver is fabulous!! Love cats that have lots of character!!😅😊😅
I love a British cat - shorthair or blue. He's so handsome. I just can't believe how thin he actually is. His hair and food obsessiveness had me thinking he was slightly chunky. Loved him!
Oliver is purrecious. Pawsitively gorgeous. Merry Christmas and Happy Pawlidays to all. 😊
The part about putting the cat in a playpen while you eat is so true about the cat we are fostering right now. He will not stop even when he was just fed! Thank you Vanessa for the videos you had prepared me for an unexpected pet.
This cat is funny. I must say he is pretty gentle. I like how you stuffed his behind back into his house. 😂 if I were a cat I’d be Oliver. Similar temperament and love of food. ❤️
Oh boy, he is a little obsessed, isn't he! You did a nice job on this very distracted kitty!
Omgawd, i snickered the whole video, this cat is *amazing*.
He’s adorable. He didn’t want to go in his house because he was having the time of his life! 😂❤❤❤
He is bloody beautiful what a colour ❤
Always loved the blue grey cats
Me: [reads video title] Why did you do drugs before grooming the cat? 😁
😂😂😂 ya, also because in Canada the weed is a national sport, basically
I also read the title as Vanessa was on drugs. I still had the beginning of the 2nd thought in my mind of " why would you tell everyone you're grooming a cat while you're drugged." OK, I confess, I'm on Codeine.😊😊😊
Beautiful cat. His fur looks like a blanket. Gorgeous ❤❤❤
Oliver's a gorgeous fellow. Those must be some pretty powerful meds.
