I love the analogy! He withstood the butt shave, and the water torture. But he gave up his name, rank, and serial number in the cage of warm air torture. With a brushing he succumbed to Stockholm syndrome. He tried to fight back, but Vanessa is the most persuasive Bond girl!

I had a Norwegian Forest cat a long time ago, and he was incredibly zen and mellow about everything. He also loved water. I never gave him a full bath, but he always insisted on going into the shower right after I used it and rolled around in the water puddles on the floor. He also loved it when I combed out his fur and it became our greeting ritual every day when I got home form work. He was a wonderful and sweet cat and twenty years later I still miss him...

[@anneli1735]

😂 same here ❣️

[@KatiePurdy]

We adopted Obi from a humane society at 8 weeks as well and the same thing happened haha

[@MS1954-MO]

That brown tabby with white is the most common NFC color pattern. Ours was a retired show cat that was solid pure white with big blue eyes ( hearing was fine). The story we got was that he fought being bathed so much before shows that they tried sedation but decided that was just too hard on him so they retired him instead. We took him to the groomer that our Somali loved ("I've never had a a cat before that snuggled up to me while I was trimming their claws") to get him a good thorough bath to get rid of an ugly dark "stud tail" stain at the base of his tail. "He only scratched me once" plus he came home with the stain gone.

[@sallyire1]

@@KatiePurdy Are you Obi's mom from the video? Oh I just checked below and see you are. He is absolutely beautiful ❤❤

[@MargoTheNerd]

His tail stops whipping the moment he's touched with affection. What a sweet kitty, he must be very loved to find human touch so instantly comforting even during strange experience.

[@EmorettaRobinson]

It was Obie being angry that he was being brushed but also pulling the brush closer so that one side of his face could be brushed that got to me. That was hilarious. When he wasn't disliking being groomed he was liking being groomed. And he was so quiet while in the bathtub. Not a hiss, not a meow, not a purr nothing. What a floofy little character he is.

[@dovie2blue]

"Nay, human, you shall not brush me as YOU wish, but as I wish!!"

[@maryeckel9682]

My cat does the exact same thing. 😅 I think she likes to control the experience m

[@jmr9735]

It's funny that you mentioned cats fighting when one of them comes back from grooming. This happened with 2 of my previous kitties. One never had to go to the groomer, and the other would have to go periodically. I finally had to tell the groomer to stop spraying the cologne bc my other cat wouldn't recognize my groomed kitty, and would not accept him back in the house. At that point, they'd been together for 7 years and got on so well. They'd often groom each other and snuggle together and such, but when I brought the one back smelling like a million bucks, the knives came out. When she stopped spraying Admiral down, Duncan stopped having an issue.

[@MGower4465]

We had a similar problem. One dog had to have the full shavedown treatment. Came out bearing an unfortunate resemblance to a large pig. Rather pink, slightly rotund, even her tail curled into a spiral. The smaller dog kept barking at her since she now smelled different. She was mystified at this reception. The cats were too busy laughing to do anything at all.

[@sallyire1]

Yes, cats don't appreciate having cologne sprayed on them. It's definitely for the owners enjoyment.

[@MargoTheNerd]

​@@MGower4465Thanks for that visual 😂 I have had a dog that had to be shaven almost entirely (roadside accident rescue with unknown injuries) who for the longest time also looked like an unfortunate cross between a pig and an old stuffed animal that has survived a few generations 😂

[@LadyEvelynL]

My mum’s Keeshond came home from grooming completely shaved. His sister growled at him and refused to let him near her until his hair grew back. The poor boy was very upset and happily milked it as much as he could

I had a Norwegian Forest cat. He was an indoor/outdoor cat which I didn't like but he ruled the roost!! He was abandoned by his owner where I once lived. I decided to take him and his brother with me when I moved. He didn't like anyone else but me. At night he had to sleep on my head and would purr so loud I couldn't get to sleep sometimes. Also during the summer I would have him shaved to help keep him cool. I would get the lion's cut. It was amazing how skinny he looked when shaved. He was mostly fur. lol. But believe me he was well fed just never seemed to gain any weight. He stayed the same weight until he had to be put to sleep because he had a stroke and the vet suggested that I put him to sleep. I miss him.

My Norwegian Forest Cat is 7 years old and similar in size (15/16 lbs). Her coat is longer and very fine, under coat most likely the same. When she rolls on her side with hind leg in the air, that's her signal to get her belly combed :) I am very well trained. Her brush is a Christensen wood pin brush. She has traveled to 12 states and 2 provinces, walks in her harness, is fearless and makes me laugh every day. I will replay this video so she can maybe learn how to behave at the spa....thanks, Vanessa!

Our cats had designated blankets they would cuddle with. It was so cute because an aunt had crocheted them so they coordinated and they each only cuddled with their own. Whenever they went to the vet or groomers we would take both the blankets and a pillow case of ours but keep them in the carrier. Then when they were done they would get their smell, our smell and the other cat's smell on the way home and it helped a lot. We also sort of reintroduced them outside where it was more neutral. We had leads for both cats so t was easy to guide them.

[@kerryl4031]

Big cat, fairly quiet meow! What a handsome cat. Edited to add - my two try and eat the brushes! Bonkers!

[@lambj]

I had a cat who would only sit still for brushing if he was nibbling a little fur. Otherwise, he'd chase and bite the brush. I think he thought if he was getting groomed, he should be swallowing fur. I only let him have a little. He was a domestic short-hair with the softest fur and shed heavily.

[@Dnero518]

I used to have a cat who would do that same exact thing with brushes. Don't know if there tryna eat their hair or maybe there so used to grooming with their mouth they instinctively think there helping or just motivating the brush to do better somehow 😂

I am owned by a beautiful similarly colored Siberian Forest cat. The actions and reactions Obie showed throughout the grooming were nearly identical to hers. She LOVES to be brushed and groomed but then... there comes a point she seems to get annoyed with the hair being pulled and tries to bite the brush and grab my arm to hold me sit. Purring the entire time and letting me get out all the loose floof, which she has a ton of. Her shirts, ruff, and pantaloons are 4 inches or longer and she is just covered in fur right now. Love my baby girl, though. :) Thanks for sharing Obie with us.

[@MS1954-MO]

All 3 Forest Cat breeds are closely related so your Siberian's behavior is no surprise. I miss my big white Weegie boy fiercely, but I'm certain that the big black shelter boy I have now has a generous dose of Maine Coon in his background. They're all wonderful.

There were always hissy fits when one cat came home from a vet visit in my 2-3 cat household. Sometimes paws were even thrown. It usually lasted for 3-4 hours until the smell dissipated.

[@Killer_Turnip]

Mine are pretty tolerant and just stay far away from each other after the vet, but even I noticed a different smell on them after a vet visit. Helps if I clean them with a pet wipe (since they recognize that smell), or rub them in a used blanket/towel post vet visit.

[@sairhug]

Your cats were very forgiving ... it was a good two days or more before my female Ragdoll x Maine Coon stopped giving my Norwegian Forest Cat the hairdryer treatment (hissing in his face). He'd been having life-saving treatment at the vet's for a bladder stone and had been away from home about 48 hours. Same thing happened to the female Rag-Coon's own brother when he was away for a serious gastro issue which saw him lose 1kg in weight (a 6th of his normal weight) and turned out to be a chicken allergy ... I felt so sorry for my boys getting such mean treatment after their harrowing experiences 😓.

I have a very similar cat, I found him on the street before winter when he was a few weeks old, but I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same breed as in the video. My cat is an angel, has never done anything wrong and always greets us when we come home. They behave very similarly. One thing I've noticed is that they don't like to be brushed from behind and they love to be brushed around the head. They don't attack unless they are really upset or scared, they don't meow and they don't eat anything from strangers. They are very wary cats and their trust must be earned.

He really seems to get it that if he just stays calm, it all goes much easier. He just wants it to be clear that he's got his limits.

8:59 100% right: Our two Siamese cats are brothers from the same litter and have only been separated once; while I foolishly washed the mess off one after he had diarrhoea. To add injury to insult (because that’s how it played out), the unwashed brother was inconsolable and completely enraged by the disappearance of his brother and the arrival of an imposter. It took a whole week of helicopter caring before they began to reconnect. It was dreadful. Since then, if one needs a foot or bottom washed, they’re in the bathroom together and both get the same treatment, next to each other.

10:20 You’re going to need a bigger tub.😂😂😂

[@MehitabelAllie]

Obie says .... no meows for you missy! Hè's biting the brush because he wants his hair back! You stole an awful lot of future hairball material! Take care Venessa✂& Camera Man🎥.... hope you guys are having a very nice weekend 🐕🦮🐕‍🦺🐩🐺🐈🐈‍⬛🐻🐯✌🏻🍁

The easy bake oven 🤣❤️ Of all the things he disliked the most it was the thing that affected him the least 🤣

[@dianedeczynski4251]

Would love it if you did a tour of your salon. I'm so curious to see everything there. 😄

[@wandertree]

You look like Marisa Tomei! Obie is sooooo cute. We had 2 Norwegian Forest Cats who were the smartest, sweetest, people-loving cats we ever had.

[@debibrown5568]

What a great beautiful cat! The lack of reaction made me laugh! - watching from Lake Wales, Florida

[@currentuser3852]

Lake Wales is beautiful!

[@Soberdragonfly]

Obie is absolutely beautiful! Only got a little spicy at the end!❤

12:07 "We are calm, we are zen🎵🎶"😂

[@caljones]

“A tad bit strange” all the best cats (and dogs, and people, etc) are lol

[@summerf3022]

He is sooooo adorable!!! I want one 😭🩵

[@horsewhisperer20394]

The character arc in this story is wonderful. Chapter 1: Vanessa’s slave days began during the feline bread loaf phase Chapter 2: Very demure, very mindful, during Zen spa experience Chapter 3: Breaks free of happy hoody and begins plotting revenge in easy-bake oven Chapter 4: Kitty timer runs-out and Vanessa is disarmed, and Kitty wins the war, looking good.

Norwegian Forest cats are so beautiful, I love long haired cats and I love bigger breeds

[@sunsols]

what a good boy. he just didn't like being in a small space :( or his legs being brushed/touched which is normal for cats. but he was also a bit silly 🤭

[@nicolaim4275]

The whiskers on the legs were probably too sensitive.

[@Reismiilch]

Such a nice temper! Quite jealous of the people who were blessed with such a wonderful cat. :)

[@blackraven763]

He does have MASSIVE PAWS 🐾 😍 ❤️ 😂😂😂 so cute and adorable.

[@sandramazer3387]

The happy hoodie completely paralyzed his vocal cords, Never said a word till it was off. Such a regal gentleman.

[@irenebecker4815]

The only thing he's said so far: "I'm claustrophobic! Get me out of this dryer!"

[@donnaflagg333]

19:43 he’s trying to brush his teeth - my void literally begs for it! 😂 seriously loves it. And I never use a metal brush either because she hates them - I use a Mason Pearson knockoff by Denman containing Boar and nylon bristles - she will have nothing but!! And so do I - I never use ANY other brush. I honestly want to try the Kent & Sons brushes. They are both very expensive. These are heirloom quality brushes and the Denman is a very good substitute! ✨🕊️💚☘️💚🕊️✨

[@dannileander4869]

the little fluff under the feetsies is there to protect paws from cold. My Norwegian queen hates it when I remove it. she's indoor strictly due to disabilities. She is also verbal but only when it suits her! ofc

[@ifallthingsmatter]

2024 has definitely been the year of the cats for Vanessa! Happy new year babe! Thank you for all your videos, they have made me so happy🥳🎉😘❤

[@jenreckard6431]

He did remarkably well! But when he was over it, he made that very clear. Way to hang in there, Vanessa, and get this big puff ball groomed. Pretty kitty.

[@LordOfElysium]

17:05 why’d you take it away? It’s his birthright to push it off the table 😂

[@Debra-f3l]

Norwegian forest cats are wonderful pets! Very mellow, very sweet.

[@msidiotbox2570]

What a patient and tolerant cat. I think he enjoyed most of the brushing (tummy excepted). He looks beautiful.

[@twowheelfrenzy]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND I LOVE THIS BREED OF CAT, LETS GO WOOO!

[@annettemurielle]

He is very vocal! What a good kitty, until he got tired of it all. Bless him.

[@kittyocala]

He is such a beautiful boy. He was very good for the groom even made sure he got all the spots including the tummy. He is just making sure to get his money worth lol.

[@TracyShultz]

Gorgeous cat! he was very affectionate (except when he hissed/swatted but then he was rubbing his mouth into the brush trying to eat it 😀). He's a big boy with a big personality! I love his coloring of his coat.

[@FatemaLiya]

What a fluffy kitty 😻

[@ladyjustice1474]

Cats have a more sensitive sense of smell than dogs. Adorable kitty.😊 He chose passive-aggressive behavior during his session.

[@patriciaharrison]

What a handsome boy, finally vocal after being washed, sweet boy with a big heart ❤️!!
