Beautiful bandit! Reminds me of my Norwegian forest cat Billy whom I adopted when he was 14. Billy was a warrior cat and he lived happily with me until 24.5!

[@hmh3808]

Wow! Is it possible to have a miniature 6lb. NFC? They are the only breed of cat I’ve been able to find online that looks even remotely like mine !?even this guy bandit has the same texture to his fur, ear, tufts long fur between the toes….as my rescue girl. And she has all the personality traits as well. Never met another feline like her, and I’ve had several.

[@dancing_fig]

@@hmh3808, I believe so! Our Lily was a rescue who never topped 10lbs, and our vet ID'd her as an NFC (she was a dead ringer for the photo demonstrating 'here's what an NFC looks like' in a book of his, and he was super-excited, since he'd never had one in his practice in over 30 years as a vet.) We never did any breed DNA testing or anything, though. It took her a *long* while to get up to her top weight, and she never 'grew into' her feet - she was our smallest cat, but she had the largest paws, by far. We learned that she'd been adopted from a shelter in TN at around 5 months old, but something happened in the next 12 months, since that was when she wound up in our backyard in FL. (Her TN owner never responded to calls.) The periods of fending for herself likely meant that her growth was really hit and miss during some of those formative times. So we figure malnutrition was why she was so tiny under all of her adorable floof.

He's a very handsome gentleman!

[@est9949]

I've never heard such a polite hiss. What a considerate cat.

[@nathanwilliams2152]

That wasn't a 'Fluff off!', more like an 'Excuse me, you're making me uncomfortable! Please take corrective action immediately.'

[@dovie2blue]

It seemed almost like a formality. "This is required of me but don't take it personally."

[@MyFavoriteDisease]

Can't believe how chill this dude is. My cats would have torn my hands to shreds at the mere attempt of washing their fur, let alone blow it dry or clip their claws.

[@1024998]

He was quite polite all things considered. He gave you a warning of “hey no like brush” and was mellow while you shaved out the matted spots instead. Such a good man.

[@Hiireo]

the matting reminded me of when I told my dad our cat had a mat at his bum, and he sat down, cat in his lap (his favorite human was my dad), and he tolerated my dad undoing the matting methodically for like an hour. Like, no freaking complaints. He looked at us from dad's lap with HUGE eyes, but nah. No claws, hissing, struggling, nothing. Important to note, he was our loudest cat XD

[@VaultBoi420]

That's awesome. I have a guinea pig named Mae, she let's me touch all over her. She once had hay stuck in her eye and I was able to slowly take it out without holding her down or even holding her at all. It's real amazing to have an animals trust like that.

[@thethirdtime9168]

I can do that with most every of the cats I've encountered, except for the 18yo at my parents farm due to the severity of the matting - she's patient for about five minutes before getting enough. We just cut it out instead, and then I can weed out the smaller bits.

[@amalgamfrostpink5030]

Mamma woke me up at 5am in the morning with our dear old Keekee. She had just taken her home and as I am best with the cats between us she needed me to help her out. Poor baby was dumped and had poop impacted on her tush because of her long fur. Nearly vomiting and a bathtub scrub later she was clean and in relief.

[@rosaliewestphalen8121]

I love the way while he's getting his 'Brazilian' his tail just flicks up and down, but he has a look of resignation his face... sort of 'if it's got to be done, okay, but I don't like it... just be careful with the tackle, lady.'

[@laikapupkino1767]

My Maine Coon was never great about grooming herself, all that hair was more than she could handle and at about 12 years old wound up so matted I had to take her to a groomer. By the time they snipped off all the clumps she had so many bald spots they recommended just shaving her whole torso. She put up with it surprisingly well, and though she looked silly with just her head, legs and tail fluffy Summer was coming up and she LOVED her new buzz cut, and being petted like that seemed like a heightened sensory experience for my sweet old girl. And as her fur grew back I learned to brush her good every day BEFORE she got tangled and.... bitey.

[@girlywench]

I've got a giant floof, he looks like he probably has Maine Coon in him (foster fail, so no idea). He's only one and regularly gets mats, so I've bought clippers and a brush to try and keep on top of it. His fur is literally the length of my hand in places, so it's difficult for him to keep on top of. Though watching him try to bathe the really long spots is hilarious... *lick.. keep licking.. ahhh finally got to the end*

[@allyenderman1502]

I've got a flame point Siamese mix of some sort (he was a stray baby with his two siblings and mama cat when my fiancèe found him) and he is FLUFFY. We have to brush him with a Furminator every few weeks and when we do we end up with enough hair to make another cat...

[@C-SD]

Have a 17 pound maine coon mix. Lol He tries, but can't keep groomed because his fur is longer than his neck. 😂 thankfully he enjoys being brushed. Our other long haired cat (all 8 pounds of her lol) won't let you near her with a brush.

[@LilaEtwas]

my partner and i adopted a persian mex a year or so ago and we got her shaved down for the summer. if we had known how much she loves it we probably would have done it a few weeks sooner
