    Hey girl, I just wanted to tell you I just ordered the Equi Groomer and…… ITS INCREDIBLE!! My long hair chi is shedding and trying to rid of his winter coat and now he’s a soft majestic little man. I can’t believe how much hair it took off! Thank you so much! 10 out of 10 I freaking recommend!

Now if someone walks down the hall in the apartment building she's sniffing the door area curious and completely ignores noises outside.

    So, that whole 'peeing outside of the litterbox' probably wasn't from spite. She was likely overwhelmed, unconfident, and scared. Cats that feel those ways tend to exhibit inappropriate territorial behaviors. I'm glad you got her a place to live that was more suitable for her needs.

    I had a similar situation happen with me, except I was the one receiving the cat. My step brother had a cat that was being abused by his kids who were toddlers. They were throwing toys at her, pulling on her tail, all the usual toddler shenanigans. And their mother, his ex, didn't really do much to stop them. It got to the point she started lashing out at them in self defense and she scratched the toddlers quite a few times. When she bit the younger one who hadn't even learned to walk yet, the ex wanted to have the cat euthanized. My step brother and step mother wasn't having it, since she gave the cat to my step brother as a Christmas gift as a kitten (she's 6 years old). So my step mother called me and asked if I could take her in since I live by myself and my other cats. I wasn't sure at first since she was really aggressive towards literally everybody. But I did agree to at least foster her for a bit and see if I could calm her down; if not, then I would find someone who could take care of her. It took a crap ton of scratches and a couple of bites, but now she's an absolute sweetheart. She still hisses and strikes me once in a while, but I chalk that up to her being a sassy one. I also think she might have some PTSD from the kids, but I'm able to handle these episodes very well.

      @@Monika-mb6jh Not always. My niece and nephew were never like that with their cat when they were babies. It's because my sister made it clear to them that hurting the cat was not going to be tolerated. If she caught them being mean to the cat, she either swatted their hands or put them into timeout. The cat was put down last year because she was a really old cat. My sister had her since we were little kids, so it was hard for the both of us. But they have a new cat, and they are old enough to know how to treat cats well. Even when they came to visit me, they were always gentle around my cats.
      It ultimately depends on how much freedom parents give their kids regarding how they behave. My step brothers ex is one of those individuals who think her kids are perfect angels when they aren't. While my sister is the parent who won't tolerate bad behavior from the kids. She can get defensive if other people say bad things about the kids, but she doesn't shelter them either.

    I had a similar cat like this one once, white fur with ice blue eyes, though he had a much shorter coat. I'll never forget him. My parents went to a shelter and were looking for a female kitten, but after seeing him, they decided on him since he matched our dog (white lab) and he seemed to like them. I remember first seeing him on Christmas, and how he was so scared of his new environment he hid behind the couch for almost a month coming out only to use the litter box and eat. Eventually he started warming up, and overtime he became my best buddy. He would always hang at my feet or in my lap while I was on my computer and for some reason I still look back fondly at his bad habit of chewing up any plastic items he could find. He was extremely personable and I can only remember him hissing two times, and once it was at a string toy. Me and him were so close that he learned to open doors just so he could be with his people. When he died of stomach cancer, the same thing that killed my dog only a few months later, it broke me. I miss you buddy, and I look forward to our meeting again.

    She reminds me of a fancier version of a cat my grandma had when I was a kid named Promise. She was a rough outdoor kitty, regularly fought with the young cats and her husband, a black cat named Smokey. He was a long hair and she was a shorthair. Her ears were basically nubs from fighting so much. But she was always gentle to us grandkids. I visited the most, and her and Smokey would watch me play outside and ride my bike up and down the driveway. Not sure what happened to either of them, but I’ll never forget them ❤️

    I had a white cat when I was young. She looked exactly like her mother (who belonged to my aunt). Same build, pure white coat, pink skin, and green eyes with a hint of gold. Mother cat had perfect hearing. Her daughter was born completely deaf.
    Eye color and albinism doesn't necessarily tell you if the cat will be deaf. The white coat tells you it's possible. From there, you just have to pay close attention and experiment to find out how that genetic coin flip went.

When he would go outside, he would never leave the yard and would throw down with any neighborhood cats that got too close to the yard. Little dude was all action and no posturing whatsoever. He would just go straight for a cat without any warning. He even tried going after a raccoon that got too close to the yard one night. Thankfully, I was able to grab him.

The first sister, Luna was very social and didn’t mind sitting with the dogs, but her sister Lilo would always get chased or barked at by the dogs. She would spend all day hiding and only come out when I was home as we had built a strong bond. Loud noises and sudden movements scared her.

      This sounds like stress. Especially if it was a covered litter box. Covered litter boxes can feel too threatening to a stressed and anxious cat. They feel like the can't get away/trapped and since they feel endangered under the cover, they pee just outside it instead. They want to use it, but don't feel safe enough.

    I’m so glad that you were able to find her a good home with someone you trust. She is a beautiful cat and I’m sure she appreciates being the queen of her new home.

    After struggling for years to brush my cat, I finally got the Eqigroomer after seeing how well it worked on your videos. Baghura, who has always avidly abhorred being brushed, but has to be to keep away the evil matts, literally just sits there when I use the Eqigroomer on him.

      Willow J Wolfe I must get an Eqigroomer. I have two cats, one long hair who hates brushing but gets matted very easily. This sounds like something I could at least try..

    Sometimes what's best for cats is heartbreaking for the humans who love them.

    I’m so happy Matcha can come and visit you. It’s lovely to see how happy and well she is.

    It breaks my heart that you had to rehome her. But I can see that it was best for everyone, and she appears to be thriving. She’s such a beautiful cat. Even tho she doesn’t like all of the groom, I can tell how much she loves you.

    She definitely a stunner 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

    What a beauty! I’m glad you got to give some love to Matcha again. I don’t know if I could give her up after 7 years.

    I have a cat that was born without eyes. Watching you trim Macha's bach hairs reminded me of mine's absolute disdain for anything touching below her tail. She's super sweet and affectionate until it comes to absolutely any grooming of her behind. Her hisses are these super soft barely audible puffs of air but she makes up for it with a loud warning growl.

    Such a truly gorgeous kitty! Thinking back, I don't think I can remember any of the cats you've groomed not liking the blow-dryer. Most of them have looked like they enjoyed it :)

      Cats LOVE warmth....even more than they dislike loud noises.

    I'm in love with this cat. She's so beautiful! I love how she hissed but didn't do anything. Matcha, politely: I didn't like that.

    Gee, my cats also pass the same hearing test. Heck, they can also hear me take down one of their favorite toys as well. Makes me wonder how good their hearing really is.
