Maine Coon Cat Grooming with The Pet Maven

[@helpimarock66]

What a gorgeous cat. It's almost like a miniature lion, it's so calm and majestic.

[@slynanne]

He's one of those cats who looks as though he could be carrying on a conversation with you in English the whole time, and just doesn't want to!

[@petmaven]

He is an absolute sweetheart and wonderful to groom. I wish all the cats I groomed were as compliant and agreeable as Biggie is. Most cats want to eat after they have been groomed. So, they either get a really nice treat or two or they get a regular meal. It was time for dinner when Biggie finished his groom so he had a big bowl of food and was quite content after. Thank you!

[@catherine_404]

This cat is a better client than some people!

[@ms.keyshawineglass7590]

The look on Biggie's face is priceless! He's so chill!

[@mashfichowdhury6336]

That cat is so obedient! I never knew a cat could be so obedient!!!!

[@Sulueti]

Thank you - finally a cat grooming video that doesn't involve shaving all the cat's hair off, or making it look like a poodle.

[@sheilacawthorne3573]

I miss my Maine Coon cats so bad every time I just look at others it just makes me sad take care of your animals they are precious

[@Harshalcv11]

Never seen a cat so calm while giving him a bath. Gentle giant indeed!

[@johannmckraken9399]

I've wanted a Maine Coon Cat for the longest time. They can fetch a fairly hefty price but they are wonderful companions and aren't really as high maintenance as a lot of people think. They always seem to have such nice personalities and are very intelligent. Someday I'll find the right one I'm sure.

[@JKiNG945]

aw what an adorable well behaved cat.

[@peterdellolio4129]

if tried any of that on my cat, I'd be bleeding and he'd be hiding.

[@anonymous-cd4cc]

😂😂😂😂

[@missyrogers7098]

I would get bit in the first 30 seconds lol. My girl Maine Coon doesn't like me touching her chest

[@Morganofthesea]

that's not a cat, that's a shrunken lion!

[@inkey2]

what a stunningly handsome face on this cat

[@AikoiShelomeckwrites]

Biggie Smalls. Gotta love that name!

[@petmaven]

Biggie needed to be groomed as he does about every 3 months since he was getting dirty, oily and had a lot of undercoat. He was also shedding a lot. All of these elements will create knots and matting over time so that is why he is groomed. on a regular basis.

[@jessicasgentlegrooming8533]

What a good kitty! Handsome! I like how gentle you are. That is why he is so comfy.

[@petmaven]

Thank you

[@petmaven]

Often clients are not interested in keeping their cats or dogs based on breed standard, but based on what they think is easier for them or the cat given their living circumstances. So, I often get requests to do haircuts on their long haired breeds since the cats get matted up or they shed too much etc...While I agree with you in theory, these are not show cats and if it keeps the cats from getting matted, tangled and comfortable then I will do a haircut. Haircuts are owner requested.

[@peachkeen7469]

He's so chill and noble. What a cutie!!!!

[@troycarothers8254]

So cool to see how you handle these felines. The way you explain exactly what you are doing to improve the lives of these cats is top notch. Mega praise to your procedures!!!

[@ahz2608]

Im so in love with this cat! Im amazed he even let you shave his belly! He's so well behaved. 😍 sweet boy

[@JaneyLaney]

I just love how majestic looking he still is even after his grooming ! I am going to school next year for pet grooming and we will also be grooming cats! Your video has made me a little bit more confident in the cat realm . Thanks for sharing your process!

[@rocktown612011]

This has to be the coolest cat in the world. Not only in looks but temperment. Biggie Smalls.....LOL! Awesome

[@darthmix]

Such a handsome animal, I want one

[@petmaven]

Glad you enjoyed it. He's a great cat and scheduled for a groom this weekend. I'll let him know he has an admirer.

[@mpc007]

I liked the rough before look actually more than the after look..

[@mooveegurl]

WOW! Biggie's look after grooming was tremendous! He turned into one sexy cat ready to take on any other cat outdoors. Great job Pet Maven!

[@mravka9]

What a magnificent cat. Lovely temperament too.

[@taxiuniversum916]

This has to be one of the most patient cats I ever saw! 😳

[@aldoczavala8540]

I am not necessarily a fan of cats, but I fell in love with this one. Great grooming job too!

[@bufordblu3338]

Looks like a golden retriever cat, adorable

[@MusicIsMyName96]

Jesus Christ he's so calm! And so handsome. I wanted to get either one of these cats or a ragdoll. Mainly for their friendly personality.

[@susienorris1300]

I loved watching you work on Biggie. He is so sweet and handsome. Thanks for sharing.

[@petey1234567ful]

what a regal looking animal ...looks like a baby cougar or tiger..wow

[@anondecepticon]

Looked like he was enjoying that warm blow dryer.

[@EH_888]

He's so sweet and cute. He looks great after his grooming :)

[@pauldolan5335]

The most patient cat I've ever seen

[@denisesavannah2023]

Beautiful cat you done a really great job grooming the cat.

[@lesbrown7009]

You, my dear, are incredibly good with cats. Thank you for your invaluable service to a special species.

[@petmaven]

+Les Brown Thank you! My clients are happy with our services too!

[@lesbrown7009]

+petmaven You would love my Manx and he would love you too. Too much. He's a climber. And an inspection officer. Try bringing fish home.

[@thealphabetist]

I'm watching this for the second time today... I think I'm in love :) He's so gorgeous and sweet!

[@brandinshaeffer8970]

This is the most patient cat I have ever seen lol

[@purpleglitter7]

Haha aww he's so sweet and patient. What a beauty!

[@k077L]

holy moly........what a extremely well behaved cat!! Beautiful too.

[@andresa1963]

Such a nice work done. This breed is so gorgeous... Just looking at Biggie.. ... it looks like majestic. GORGEOUS! Big difference from the before and after.

[@YokusaHHart]

I'm quite surprised at how well behaved this cat was. Even during the bath, all he did was give a few meows of protest. Complete opposite of my cat. where if you even try to approach her with a comb you end looking like a human scratching-post.

[@petmaven]

Biggie is groomed about every 3 mos. It really depends on the cat, the cat's coat and how much the client is willing to do between grooms. I have clients with Persian cats that are groomed every 4-5 week and have other clients who do quarterly grooms. It also depends if you want to keep your cat in full coat, do a haircut or a lion cut. If your cat is in relatively good condition and you are able to brush and comb then a couple of times a year should be fine; a quarterly schedule would be fine.

[@anonymous-cd4cc]

he is so handsome OMG im not a cat fan but this race is so adorable you can see his unique personality

[@tsukinoblossom]

Oh, that distinctive Maine Coon whine when he first gets wet! My Vinnie makes the exact same noises when he's unhappy XD

[@bmwvillan]

You are very great and kind with animals, bless you your sweet heart, if you had kids you must be a very great mother.

[@MarcoPolo-ft9jz]

you did a very professional and beautiful job. what a gorgeous kitty

[@ThePassionateJetSetter]

Holy crap! i knew these guys were big, but thats a huge cat! very cute!

[@MysticMoonz]

In my experience with cats, if you start bathing them when they are just kittens they become accustom to it. I have a solid white long hair and have to bathe him at least once a month.

[@tomcat51701]

What an amazing breed of cat, he is soo sweet and patient for a cat. Love this video! He is so pretty!

[@Jyromi]

Thats a beauuuuuuuuuuuutiful cat

[@sfden50]

OH what a GORGEOUS cat! I wish I could scoop him up and take him home with me.

[@linda401]

Chat d'une gentillesse infinie. Adorable !!

[@allaaxelrod2005]

Gorgeous, sweet and so docile! My cat would wake up the neighborhood if I tried that on him.

[@nukite303]

He is so gorgeous. I love his big paws.

[@samheller8394]

These are sensational cats. I wish I still had mine.

[@valambrosa]

What a kind and patient cat!

[@TheStarStrangled]

He's so well behaved! I'm impressed. :) Lol. My cat is well behaved, but she likes to play and she's very energetic, so when you reached for the combs she would have been all up in your face trying to play.

[@jenniferscheller1978]

Thank you for this we just had an abandoned Maine Coon show up on our back porch with no microchip and no owners coming forward to take him home. He was matted and filthy. I just got him his first bath and took a long time slowly taking out mats. He actually purred and kneaded me the whole time I was brushing him. It is going to take a lot more work but at least I got all of the pine needles and debris out of his coat.

[@Ravenluvs]

Good to see someone so passionate about their job.

[@tifflovesmetal]

I wouldn't shave my Maine Coon boy Murphy. I love his shaggy long fur. And he isn't oily and rarely needs bathing. His bum is never poopy either. I've tried several brushes but his favorite is my mini travel paddle brush. He jumps on the bathroom sink to drink from the faucet but also jumps up to be brushed. He is so smart and cute! My domestic short hair boy is sweet but Maine Coons have a better personality in so many ways.

[@masarati7315]

EXTREMELY DOCILE CAT. My cat wouldn't let me do any of this grooming work. He is very intelligent, very beautiful and shows a lot of affection for his master (myself). I treat him really well. I pet him and brush him, and very carefully pet him otherwise he could scratch or bite me.

[@qwiet123]

Wow, the before and after is amazing! Great work, beautiful cat!

[@Xoletta]

They're like the Pit Bulls of the cat world - super sturdy.

[@jimsmith7445]

What an amazing cat... had a Maine Coon and miss him so much!!!! Amazing. Great video.

[@favored110]

You are so blessed to have a cat that will sit so nicely for all the grooming, especially the bath. Mine, well to put it calmly ... I need bandages when they're done :)

[@kcunlimitedeats]

25 pounds of cat. Has this cat been going to the groomers since he was little? He seems used to getting hair cuts and manicures.

[@melloe]

what a gorgeous kitty!

[@petmaven]

You get much nice and smoother haircut when the cat is squeaky clean and doesn't have dander, excess undercoat and grease in it's coat. It also gunks up the equipment.

[@_J.P._]

Cat totally unimpressed like "okay go ahead and surprise me with another stupid idea of yours today". ...and then the before VS later moment. Cat all like "okay nice to see you happy now it would be nice to see me happy - got some food?"

[@patriciamcdermott9589]

nice job on a gorgeous cat!

[@fessybear]

what you can demonstrate in minutes takes many years to master. you are an absolute professional, a lovely cat and great before & after photos! as a Maine coon owner myself I would love to bring my boy to someone as skilled as you. everyone near me offers lion cuts or random shaving which looks sad for the cat! great work

[@altanasuri]

Oh my God this cat is hugeeeeee

[@favmusic6401]

I have a Maincoon (my propic) and its 1 year old and its like half the size of the one in the video, so I'm like. "Omg it's gunna get bigger"

[@lorettalouvros207]

You are amazing! Wow! I can only hope that I find a groomer like you

[@TheLaughingLion]

that's a beautiful meow! 🦁👍👈

[@Ashes2Ashes_Blush2Blush]

Omg he's such a handsome kitty!!!

[@aloe7889]

such a BIG cat who is so well behaved!! awesome :D

[@ashleyt545]

I'm amazed at how calm he is! My cat looks just like him but is half the size and at least ten times as vicious if I try even just clipping his nails let alone a bath and a trim lol

[@chasyamila]

its like a little lion or lion cub

[@jrb92]

Totally agree :)

[@bryanmchugh1307]

"Mr. Biggie Smalls" AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! This video is awesome and that big cat is chill as hell

[@agrxdrowflow958]

Pretty kitty! I love how he's so patient.

[@mikeydoubledee]

Truly a beautiful Cat!! You seem to do a great job with the grooming. My cat is indoor as well and I completely agree with you on the claw trimming. Sometimes the sharp claws can get caught in fabric and can hurt them. Good job!!

[@petmaven]

+mikeydoubledee Thank You!

[@DIDUKNOW7777]

I love Biggie, he's so cute and adorable! :-D

[@sivanova7899]

he's beautiful as is but you did a really good job with the grooming, now he looks all regal and clean :)

[@keikan0407]

The cat enjoyed :) what a patient cat you got there!

[@prettykitty9350]

This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much. I have a long haired white rescue kitty (some Persian in her) who needs a groom for some greasy back fur that's getting mats. We brush her with the wire brush daily, but that isn't enough. We can't find a groomer in our area who will do cats, so I'm on my own. Your video made me confident it is possible to bathe and groom my girl! Thank you!!!

[@Aurorah89]

Gorgeous cat and LOVE the name

[@catboxcrazy]

thank you for the advice. I spoke with an employee at petsmart today. they told me the same thing you did. so I purchased long toothed grooming comb for the mats, no blade, and a furminator. they advised me to comb out the mats first then use the furminator afterwards. thanks for replying. this really helps a lot.

[@juliesymonds2440]

That is the most patient cat I've ever seen

[@tickyul]

That Hugekitteh is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!

[@CeeceByrd]

Aww...Im loving Biggie.. 😊❤ Good job Pet Maven. My cat's no Maine Coon, but her attitude doubles her size at times...lol.. To bathe her I put on a long sleeved sweater because she climbs all over me (cats and water, even warm water) and those claws... but she generally tucks her tail in for most of her bath and endures to to the end. Dry off time is tricky, No blow drier I burrito her and cover her face lightly to calm her down and towel roll the majority of the water off of her, then in moments (when I can get close enough... cuz were not friends for a while after that bath...lol) I sneak brush her coat which is thin enough to air dry, she also grooms herself naturally once she escapes the bath towel... that's my kitty! 😊

[@ygujt]

Such a beautiful cat !!! I wish I had one , I heard they have a good temper too

[@andresa1963]

I have watched this video like 1000 times and I keep on watching.. the cat is just so handsome.... I would do anything to have one just like him... Such a nice video... :)... Thank you for posting. Great work

[@karidowns]

What? No hairspray afterwards.

[@doriskloster]

i know he is not being hurt but that cry, its breaks my heart

[@petmaven]

Kimberley Warder I know...Biggie just likes to whine sometimes. We just gave him his Spring bath and haircut and he was very happy.

[@richwhilecooper]

As I write this I am in casualty having just attempted to do this on my Genghis who is a 24lb Silver & White Tabby Maine Coon. The surgeon says he might be able to save most of my fingers but my forearm will be permanently scarred. Joking. Great vid. Smashing cat. So patient. We love this breed and ours is quit happy being a big old house cat with a rough collie for company!

[@pamelaroark8997]

He is so handsome.
