Moving around, or touching or worse bumping/pressing/tugging a mat relieves this tension on one side but multiplies it on the other.

@@ltyrell405 I was looking for a comment like this, this cat is clearly terrified, especially of the blower. Work like this absolutely needs to be done, and from what it looks like this groomer is very gentle (or tries to be, cases like this are tough). It's hard being as small as a cat, even if this guy looks pretty big as far as cats go. Trying to be ferocious and perceived as a threat is a survival instinct, the more you look like work to hunt as prey, the less likely you are to be attacked. It's something humans have learned too, a recommendation for people who are getting abducted is to be as difficult as possible and fight as hard as you can, there's always a chance your attacker will decide you're just not worth the effort. Cats have the most delightful angry faces when they're in the astronaut helmet. Their cheeks get squished up and there's so much malice in that gaze it's really cute, even if I feel bad that they're terrified.

She had him by the scruff, but he was wiggling backwards so much I had to hold onto his behind!) So she had to totally sedate him, rather than just numb the area. Better to do it properly than risk the abscess turning cancerous, but total anesthesia has stresses of its own. He to stay in the vet over night, for a start, then there were the physiological stresses of going under. There's always some risk. And, it's expensive. So I suppose it depends on how serious the health risk is and can it really not be done without sedation.

No lie, that is one beautiful cat. I think he did very well considering how stressed he was and you did a fantastic job looking after him.

[@barkingstarz4730]

2:34 The way she looks back at the camera after his fit! Lmao!

[@naefa]

Love watching your grooming sessions and the accompanying dialog, spoken in a dead pan tone, often has me in fits of laughter. A joy!🤣

[@GFSTaylor]

A friend of mine used to breed and show Birmans, a long-haired breed. Joan was outstanding at preparing cats for a show - they were the most immaculate fluff balls you could ever see. She advised me that one of the best tools to getting matts out is a seam ripper - the sewing tool. It has a sharp point, so you have to be careful, but it's easy to wield in awkward spaces. It goes in and cuts through the matted hairs, making it easier to pull them apart and release them. I use one on my own cats - my late Birman, and my Norweigan Forest. It reduces the need to tug with a comb and makes grooming easier for both parties.

[@АлинаРыжова-с6ь]

that's actually pretty useful! I have a senior Siberian who can't tolerate even little pulling and I have to be extremely gentle for my own safety lol. Though I'm still kinda scared to use something so sharp.

[@dreaming-of-spots6805]

Ooh, that's brill! I usually use trauma shears on mats, especially larger ones- it's easy to get them underneath the mats and hard to poke or accidentally cut the cat.

[@jwolfe1209]

@@dreaming-of-spots6805 I would strongly suggest slipping the teeth of a comb between the skin and the mat before snipping, even with those shears. Cat skin is exceptionally prone to getting pulled up into mats and the comb makes sure any wrinkles are well out of the way. I frequently use a comb and my thinning shears to break up matting on more sensitive clients and it's been invaluable on behind the ear matting when the pet won't tolerate clippers near the head

[@A.Girl.Has.No.Name.]

I used the Maxpower dematting tool on my Brit's back end, as he would act like this floof when I'd brush it, and he'd get mats. It's the same idea as a seam ripper, but it has multiple hooks that protect the razor sharp edge that gets under the mat, and cuts it off. Check Amazon, thr pics will explain it better, but boy did it work wonders. I thought I was going to have to shave my his fuzzy "pants" off, rather than just doing the regular sanitary shave.

[@skye4743]

Good job! You were very compassionate and skilled with Sir Frumple Face. I'll be he feels ten times better now with some matts relief. ❤️

[@johnoneill5661]

I can safely say that he is one seriously grumpy cat 😾

The face he made when you shaved his ears 😂

[@calixa]

Poor guy, i feel for him. You did your best and am glad you ended the session. It was too much for him.

[@cheighes1]

And this was the last video ever posted to the channel. Riesling came back that night... revenge! he meowed. Some say if you listen closely you can still hear the words "grinch feet" when you pass the house.

[@evac.705]

Between the tail twitches, the growling, and the massive hatred stares, and attack swats, he did pretty well! He didn't make you bleed! Some cats, well, are cats. They are very individual. That's ok, we still love them!🐱👍

[@bluewhale4190]

Never seen a ball on their head like that. I shouldn't laugh, but it caught me off guard!

[@josephiroth89]

We need a Riesling shirt now... something that says "Don't touch the back end."

[@CleverestWitch2188]

Knew it was intense when he managed to free the hamster bubble off his head and still flailed around like a nutjob. Glad you were able to get the basics done. Godspeed to his owners. Hope they're still alive after he got home. Lol

[@choprox01]

hahahahahahahahahahaha....hahahahahahahaha

[@whatevergoesforme5129]

Oh that cat was pissed. The owners should learn to brush their cat's fur daily to avoid the tangles and mattes. This cat is not used to grooming and I can understand the anger.

[@JCArules13]

@@whatevergoesforme5129 Sometimes it isn't that easy. If that cat didn't like her touching his butt, he probably would hate a brush as much, and it could cause him pain to do so. Sometimes these things are more complicated than they appear.

[@whatevergoesforme5129]

@@JCArules13 I know it is not easy. I have 4 pet cats now and several stray cats I feed outside our house. I use gloves when I know I will be "attacked" by any of the cats that hate what I plan to do with them like brushing their fur, giving them meds, cleaning their wound, One stray cat hates being brushed (which he needs because he has issues with hair balls). It was so hard at first, but eventually, he was able to tolerate it. It has to start somewhere or the cat will never get used to it.

[@davidvmckay]

That's a Good Cat. Hero

[@etainapgwynnedd827]

I completely sympathize with both you and the the owners here. My Bailey is also a big long-hair (raggamuffin mix, rescued) and hates having her backside touched for any reason; yet as an older cat, she can no longer completely reach back there to clean herself thoroughly without help. Her fur is extremely fine, and traps every little grain of anything that might be around. Once started, a mat can spread to the rest of her side in a day or so (she likes to roll around on the floor, sunbeam present or not, lol). So, for her health, she gets shaved from flanks back to the tail tip while under anesthesia during her yearly dental appointment and I work to maintain the shaved area as it grows back. Still requires me to carefully remove any starting mats every now and then, but at least we haven't had any stinky mats back there in years. But the rest of her fur forward of her flanks she has no issues with me grooming.

[@Jen39x]

Glad to hear there’s a way to manage as I was wondering what in the one would have to do with a cat like this. I know it’s not always owner neglect

it's not a myth, the cats know of it and speak low when discussing it.

[@andreagriffiths3512]

Funny, when my cat peed on my bed, next to me, whilst house-sitting, I needed wine too. It took me 13 hours to clean the mattress as good as new. Then I went to the nearest bottle shop and picked up two bottles of my fave wine. The clerk asked if I was having a party. I calmly replied, “nope. My cat peed on my bed and I’ve spent the last 13 hours cleaning the mattress. I need some wine and I’m not at all sure one bottle will be enough!” The poor guy just gaped at me. It took a bottle and a half to send me nicely stewed.

[@marionlesage4794]

Poor baby. Grooming long haired cats is super important. He’s such a beauty!

[@theophilus7422]

Both party's were stressed out with that groom. Not many groomers do cats, and this is a classic example of why that is.

[@mariankyra6613]

Bless You for being so patient and forgiving with these aggressive pets. Many groomers would simply refuse them, but they still need help to remove dead hair and mats.

[@LPetal86]

Bless his heart, he may have been in pain from those mats and you just relieved a great deal of pain. Hopefully he came to understand that he felt better after the groom and that you helped him, so that in the future, he may tolerate you a bit more. But only a bit more.

[@teristricklen2844]

WOW! You're braver than I am! I'm not a cat person, although I did have some awesome outdoor kitties born under my house. Half feral I tried taking them to a shelter, but they called & said they were too wild to be adopted & offered spaying if I would take them back. So I agreed & when they were ready I brought them back & afterward the male cat just worshipped me, I loved him too! Such a funny boy!
