Yes, Pepper is gorgeous, but Salt's gentle stoicism won me over.
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!
Only people who have had to make a cat do something it didn’t want to do knows how incredibly strong they are. Pound for pound more than any animal that size.
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
@@D.H.1082 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
Salt's "no thank you" paw is cute but obviously more dangerous than it appears.
Pepper was showing feline politeness in signalling vocally before trying to physically complain.
Pepper was like, if you don't stop, I'll attack. Hey I warned you
He had the angry tail going and everything
Salt ever so politely trying to say no thank you with his paw. 🤍 Too adorable.
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!!
In my experience, long-haired cats (Persians, Himalayans, etc.) have the teeny tiniest voices. It's possible that those chirps were the most ferocious meows Pepper could muster 😂
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.
Salt looked like he enjoyed the brushing at the end. He was giving you the slow blink "eye kisses", so it looks like he finally realized you were doing something positive for him.
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.
I only cleaned one cat once. My family's cat, who had been in a small fight and was covered in mud, oily water, and grime. Put on my workman's gloves and held him down to shower him. He was not a fan and did bite a few times and scratched a bit, but when he realised there was no escaping the shower until it was done... He just kind of curled up in a corner and kept meowing in resentment until I was done, just accepting his suffering. Then he wanted to snuggle when he was dry.
Pepper's little squeaks were his "Indignant!" button being pushed... Whereas Salt was more politely 'shocked' at such dismaying events. 😂
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’s face in the danger bubble exactly matches my default internal expression anytime someone talks to me 😂
😂
Same, fam. Same 😂
"HALP!"
As an aspie, I can fully relate.
Same, leave me alone.
4:05 "Alright ma'am that's enough, I'm good. Truly, I'm great and we should stop."
Pepper's squeaks of infinite rage are hilarious, and Salt just nope-ing into a ball to sulk in the corner is adorable
Salt, Pepper and Mayonnaise 😂. If grooming cats with spice names was like getting EGOT I’d say you’re one name short of making “Aïoli”.
😂😂😂😂
😂 🧂🌶🥚🫒
The SPAM!
I thought the still was of Mayonnaise at first 😂
Mustard Relish Ranch Onion dip All seem like reasonably themed cat names ;)
Pepper with the happy hoodie and the danger dome looks like the nearest a cat has ever come to an astronaut. To catfinity and beyond!
But it wasn't on his top 1000 careers list...
"How ya doing in there?" Pepper: 🌞 Also, Salt turned into a snowball while being dried. 😂 I love them both
vanessa: *shaves pepper's butt* pepper: *makes the noise sneakers make skidding on a basketball court*
Absolutely true about the sound!
Salt hiding his face in the corner of the rage cage is an entire mood xD
talk to ma butt because my face isn't listening
What?
As a white cat owner, I can confirm, they never stop shedding. What also never ends is the eyegoop and the hairballs 😅
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 💕
Kinda sad that Pepper had to lose all that beautiful fur. I'd love to see him when it's grown back.
Girl with dogs...Girl with cats....girl with a heart of gold.
That felt like a haiku
Those squeaks killed me. Everyone, please protect that spicy boy.
😂❤
That DERP at 2:27 might be the greatest derp in recorded history 😹😹😹
My goodness, Pepper had quite the primordial pouch on him. But also his voice reminds me a lot of my own cat. Was a very quiet kitty for most his life, than when he reached 10 years old, he realized he had a voice and was determined to use it.
OH MY GOODNESS, Pepper has just the silliest scream 😆😆😆
aaaaaAAAAAaaaa
Eep! Eep!
Salt’s paw on the nozzle while getting washed is what made me laugh the most. Poor cat is like ‘please no. Please stop.’
I know you’re 𝙂𝙞𝙧𝙡 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝘿𝙤𝙜𝙨 but I just love when you showcase cats 💕
*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 ❤
Pepper squeaking like a mouse despite being a massively floofy cat is equally adorable and hilarious.
Pepper REALLY looked like a lion at 1:30.
4:34 The face in corner "I'm officially done with today" posture got me good. Poor floof.
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.
Pepper sounded more Dolphin than cat! Salt only looked mildly concerned when he saw how much of his fluff you were stealing :)
Pepper with the happy hoodie and the bubble on has got to be the funniest thing I've seen in a while....😂
1:01 pepper turned into a kettle
You know what I really like about you? You don't play. You don't take any chances with being injured by pets during the groom. To me, it says that you take your job seriously and prioritize safety for yourself and the animal.
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!
Even before the haircut, he looks like a little lion🦁!!!!!! It's simply too amazing!
Wish I looked like this kitty cat when I got up in morning 😊
He looked like he was plotting something.
@@RachelMartin-di8fy- he was plotting something. Vanessa’s demise…
1:38 - the danger dome. The trouble bubble. Hellfire’s helmet.
The look on Pepper's face when you said, "you cant bite me..." lmaooo.
Salt looks like my late cat Lillie. Lillie was a pure white cat with blue eyes, but unlike some blue eyed white cats, she wasn't deaf. Lillie loved me, but she didn't like anyone else. I used to work late, and she'd always stay up to meet me at the door. Loved her so much.
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 😉
I was wondering if Salt was deaf.
@@RachelMartin-di8fy probably not, since he has green eyes, not blue
Salt gave you a tentative slow blink when you were all done!!! What an angel 🥹
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!
Wow, Scottish fold/Ragdoll is a hell of a mix! And his ears make him look extra angry. 😂 What a floofy boy!
The "danger dome" did me in completely. I had to pause and just laughed until I was in tears. This is GLORIOUS.
I think Pepper may be the first cat that I’m convinced was truly afraid of the process. Those little chirps and squeaks spoke to anxiety; the hissing and scratching seemed less aggression and more desperation! 🙀😿
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
Pepper looked like a miniature lion even before the shave 😍
0:29 "You have plied me with treats, hooman, and therefore I am prepared to--hey! WAIT! WHAT IS THIS INDIGNITY??"
pepper: "I wanna be an astronaut!" also pepper: (2:09) *this is NOT what I had in mind...*
My parents have a cat that looks just like Salt, except with blue eyes. In his old age he's gone entirely deaf, but he can sense vibrations enough to know when his favorite can of food is being opened.
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.
Pepper: THE INDIGNITY! THE AUDACITY! UNHAND ME AT ONCE! Salt: Ma'am, please... please desist... oh God, not the dryer... My parents had two white cats. Can confirm they shed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, with extra shedding during spring and autumn.
His chirps of protest are adorable!
Both are lovely. I liked salt's quiet protest asking you to stop with his paw. Pepper is plotting your demise . And may be planning to eat you.
Pepper looks like an astronaut exploring the Galaxy of Rage.
That look of utter hate on Pepper's eyes at 1:48 speaks a thousand words, two of which could very well be "Heck you!!!" 😾😊😾
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.
You were definitely prepping Pepper for a Wing Commander fan convention cosplay, because I see a lion space pilot. 3:24 And there's your 'kill-wrathi'. 😨 (Makes me wonder what's going on in their heads when being shaved like that.)
Oh my gosh! Pepper looked so pathetic when all wet!! And about 1/4 size too. I love the lion look! Thanks for the giggles and tugs on my heart strings. ❤️❤️
It’s been 15 years since my gorgeous long haired black cat left for cat heaven- I STILL find black cat hairs. She never stopped shedding her whole life. But I still miss her- 16 years together was not long enough
Salt also looks like he hasn’t had a thought in years 😂
The height of blissful ignorance.
Pepper was hilarious, especially in his lion cut it matches his personality
I bought a danger dome for my cat for her blood draws. The vet liked it so much they ordered one the same day as her visit as they saw how effective it was at preventing bites.
Happy Hoodie AND the Trouble Bubble? Oh man Pepper's really looking fashionable 😂
salt burying his face in the corner😭😭
I noticed that! Like he gave up on life. 😭😂
“This is t happening, this isn’t happening, this isn’t happening” is how i interpreted his snowball move.
and I thought MY cat had tiny pipsqueak cries! 😆❤️
Hair splinters!? What the ...??!!! Lion cut looked amazing. Great job. Salt wasn't too salty 😃
To be fair to pepper .... I'd want to bite someone if they tried to shave my butt LOL You do so well with the cats ! despite their feisty attitudes :)
Pepper definitely didn't appreciate having his fluff removed, or being bathed. He looked majestic both before and after his bath. Salt, what a beautiful snow queen. She chose flight over fight. Both kitties did very well for their groom.
Watching Salt give a slow blink at you at the end was cool, he must have realized how much the groom felt nice at the end. And now his skin probably feels nicer too. Cats are smart.
Pepper: Death to hoomans Salt:What did I do to deserve this humiliation
Aww his squeals of protest are kind of cute. I have a cat who cannot meow unless he is stressed. Otherwise he squeaks when he is talking to me. I always enjoy watching the care you take toward cats. The only permanent scars I have on my forearms are from when I had to bathe my cats when they had fleas like 10+ years ago.
SO MUCH FLUFF
4:50 It's always the white cat hairs that get in your eye.
Aww I felt for both. Poor Salt’s cute little paw slowly sliding down the bath wall. 🥺😂
Pepper is a squeaker! I have one like that. She make no sounds at all unless she's begging or annoyed. Then she makes tiny squeak noises just like Pepper! I really enjoy when you groom the cats. They bring a lot of amusing personality to the groom!
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.
I love how Pepper is spicy but makes those teeny tiny squeaks! 😂
That big, ferocious cat making those tiny adorable noises ❤Such a cute murder machine
Pepper's angry squeaks made me want to bundle him up and protect him from the world! 😭
I always love the shots of cats in the rage cage! Pepper's face all scrunched up from the happy hoodie, and salt pressed into the corner are A+ content 😂
Beautiful cats!! I also always have a laugh when big and serious looking cat has the tiniest meow ever. 😆
I just wanted to say, I’ve watched your videos for a while and I love em! My cat is getting old and he is a long haired Maine coon mix. He coughs up hair balls like every other day and in his age he is starting to not groom himself as well. I bought your eqi groomer and it is amazing! The amount of fur that came out I could put build a new cat! I’m so happy. Thank you.
Absolutely love your videos, the patience you have is second to none and you have such a brilliant temperament for working with animals especially the nervous ones ❤
Those two are ADORABLE! Also can confirm. My white cat sheds like Crazy. It never ends. And my tuxedo cats white parts shed more than the black! It’s insane.
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.
"After I de-shed him for 100 years" HILARIOUS! 😂
What was that deshedding thing?
I wasn’t expecting Pepper to squeak! 😹
2:28-2:30 😂🤣💀 his face got me gone lmao. I can't, lol he is so cute! He looks just like a mini lion. ❤
Beautiful cats! I feel bad for Pepper though, I think he was embarrassed with getting shaved. Especially the tushy. Poor baby. He will sure feel better this summer.
Pepper looked like little lion 🦁,outstanding haircut. Salt was a gorgeous white cat . Another great video ,thanks. 🌟
Question re: the claws during bathing, it helps me just to wear a sweatband on each wrist during the bath portion. I don't often bathe my cats, but sometimes they get into stuff, and one is longhair sooooo it's unavoidable. The sweatbands give them something to grip and tends to prevent the worst of the battle wounds. Maybe something similar might help you? As always, feel free to ignore the unsolicited suggestions that don't work for you! ❤
Stunning cats! The squished happy hoodie faces always make me smile
Salt wasn't to bad,he was just needing your reassurance so he was holding your hand❤
Ayup. Clinging on to her for dear life. “Save me. Save me from the evil water hose.”
Also forgot to mention Vanessa big thank you to the Cameraman for all his hard work on filming all these awesome videos as well he always puts in a 💯 percent in helping you out with all these awesome videos.. 📸
Salt enjoyed it and Pepper was a gorgeous lion when finished. Salt did amazing.
Pepper's face and voice are such opposites omg 😂 also love Salt's lil faceplant in the corner to avoid having to see the blowdryer 😂
Pepper sounds like a squeaky toy. 😊
I am actually pretty glad today's video was with these cats, I love your content but it has been hard for me to watch most since losing my own dog a few weeks ago. So thanks for the cat grooming video, appreciate it.
i love your content, your way to handle those pets and you humor is really entertaining. thank you!!
That sad and defeated face in the rage cage and the bubble 😆😆Love your videos! Keep up the amazing work! ❤From Dave in Alaska!
We had a Maine Coon something mix and he was a big fluff ball like Pepper. We got him shaved every year in a lion cut. His name was KitKat and he got upper jaw/palate cancer during the pandemic and passed. 😢 He is missed. But that allowed us to rescue 3 more! ❤ Thanks for being such a great empathetic groomer of cats and dogs!
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.
Pepper's facial expressions are soo hilarious 😂
0:56 had me crying laughing. 😂😂😂
"How are you doing in there?" Oh my goodness you are sooooooo addictive to watch and enjoy immensely. Cheers.
Pepper is channelling his inner 70s fashion self, so chic 💋 and Salt looks absolutely magnificent, like swansdown. I love seeing cats on your channel. As ever, fantastic work 👏 ❤ 🐈 😻
The little paw of "no thank you" gets me every time.
Peppers face at the end: 🤣 "No i don't wanna do any work"
Aww. Pepper is a magnificent lion 🦁while Salt is sweet 🤍 An adorable pair. 😘 The way Salt hides her face in the corner is as if by hiding, it would make the horrible monster dryer go away!
