MILO THE MAINE COON GETS HIS FIRST BATH

- So @lifewithmilomute (Instagram name) is almost 3 years old and this evening he had his first ever bath, usually he’s ok grooming himself but recently there have been too many reappearing knots even though he is brushed everyday so we thought we’d give a bath a go as we keep having to chop chunks of fluff out and it’s starting to be noticeable. We took full protection AKA full biker gear on in the bathtub for claw protection, I didn’t manage to film me blow drying him as Shane was tidying up while I was doing it but he was so good letting me dry him! We’ve never considered bathing him before and not sure if we would try again or take him to an actual groomers. Clearly complete amateurs! 🙈
Bathing Phill the bear : " Just with bare hand". Bathing milo the cat : "With gloves and full body protector".
I GOT THAT..😅😅😅
Yeah dogs dont normally bite or claw their owners no matter how bad it gets. Cats do not have that layer of domestication ;)
@@GnosticAtheist There is always an exception to the rule, see the adorable Messi: czcams.com/video/mzQb4CV7hLY/video.html
What i did watching till the end and hope Milo do something bad, but it's just a dream.. Milo is good cat and the owner 😂😂👻👻
@@amcai2000 agree.....😇😇😇
I learned a lot from the vedio and knew more about my cat in the discretion 😅
Anyway, I have to bathe Lucky for her First time 😆
Thx 🙏🙏🙏❤️
There's nothing more scary than the calm fury behind a cat's eyes.
However, Milo has been a good boy. He didn't meowed loud, nor clawed like crazy. So kudos for being a good boi. 🐱👏
Maria Paz G. Lesme milo is absolutely plotting his revenge. Most likely by shitting somewhere he shouldn’t
Aviation lord 😄
While he’s suited up just in case.
thank god they didnt have a shower curtain lmao
I think he had stage fright. 🤣
That’s a good man there. Bathing a cat is like going into battle. He went in with protection. I’ve never seen that. I need that outfit for cleaning.
When you bathe a cat it is only appropriate to wear so much protection
I was just thinking I have never seen someone bathe a cat with so much protection on, it's hilarious!
I am dying from laughter
this is a perfect use for my moto gear i have no use for anymore. my cat bites and scratches for his life.
Personally, I would have worn full plate armor.
cats can really defend themselves if they don’t like baths 😂
Milo's eyes: The look of someone plotting a nasty revenge 😂
Seena Joy 😆
Seena Joy He’s a cat. He already plotted his revenge, he just needed an excuse to enact it.
When he was just sitting there during the conditioning round his eyes be looking like daggers lol
Seems Joy: some times like you I speak for our kitties . My Son will say that “ are you kitty’s whisper.
But Milo, I am so impressed . well behaved 👏👏👏
Bathing a cat with matted fur will make the matts worse. They get tighter when wet. You need a matt breaker and lots of patience to give poor kitty a full grooming. Sometimes you may have no choice but to cut them out. Instead of that wire brush, use a metal comb to groom him. It will get through all three layers of fur. You will find that grooming frequently will help to keep Milo matt free. Get em before they get bad.
Love you guys and all your fur babies. Congrats on your pregnancy!💗💗💗
Hey just to add, we use a metal brush called the furminator (also have a maine coon) and it really does a great job of brushing out the knots
I know this is old but to piggy back on your comment. If a cat does get dirty or I feel like "bathing them" I take a tub of water and a nice rough washcloth, wring out the washcloth really really well, folded into fours and use a corner and my fingers to make the same motions like when they groom themselves. The warm washcloth feels like another kittys tounge and they seem to actually enjoy it.
@@katl1489 Hi. I can see that working on a shorthair cat, but not a longhair. It also would have to depend on just how dirty and what the dirt is. Grease or oil would require a good soaping up (Dawn dishwashing liquid recommended). Toxic substances must also be thoroughly removed. We don't want kitty licking anything toxic off its fur. I do like your idea for some applications.
Don't cut around mats to get them off, cut through them a couple of cuts through a mat will enable you to tease it apart and not leave a big hole in the fur.
Brushing..not bathing.
(Human bathing HUGE dog) Wears regular clothing.
(Human bathing 10-12 pound cat) Puts on SWAT gear.
just to demonstrate the anticipated damage cat claws can do on human skin ;)
*Gets in water with socks*
Me: cringes
*Sits down in water*
Me: dies
Pretty sure that suit is water resistant at least. But the socks gave me a bit of a shock too
*rinses cat with dirty water*
Me: smh
payston Grayson such a good comment😂😂😂😂😂😘😂😂
😭 I literally cringed when I saw that too!
That is so me too 😭😭😂😂
I think I could hear the dogs laughing in the background
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exact moment!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Lol
Hands down to Shane's dedication towards washing milo... He truly loves him...🥰
Cat: 'Note to self' Do not make fun of Phil on his next bath... hooman will not spare any of us.
Milo: Note to myself, remember to make a revenge plot later.
"Why do you have for motorcycling in your closet?you dont have a bike."
"I have a cat."
"Oooh get it."
shane also has a bike
I've watched several videos of pet groomers bathing cats, and the howls, hisses, claws and biting a plenty. So seeing how relatively relaxed Milo was just proves what a great boy he is!
Cats also purr when they are uncomfortable, to comfort themselves.
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
And to warm themselves or sometimes when they're sick. The frequency and pitch changes depending on why they need to purr. It's an amazing ability that can even speed up healing! (They can also purr to calm down their humans XD Apparently certain pitch of purring has a good effect on humans, which makes one wonder who domesticated whom?)
Minka Lampinen When I’m upset my cat lays on me and purrs 😊
@Prometheus 2019 Yes, and all comments above literally said the same.
Milo did SO well!! Shane will clearly be a wonderful father, & he can wear his motorcycle helmet when he's changing the baby's diapers! LOL 👶👍
Her name is Amelia Mia for short not the baby and that’s just wrong
His coloring is gorgeous! What a beautiful cat. He was a good boy during the bath, mine nearly severed one of my arteries.
Lmbo
He's such a good kitty!!! Our cat always sounded like we were killing a small child. We were afraid the police would show up and expect a dead body.😲 Your protective gear is much better than leathers. I wasn't expecting a bath in the tub, it made me giggle.😂 I wish all of you well.
The look on Milo’s face speaks volumes. Lol He was much better behaved than I expected. Good job!
Sweet Milo, clearly so disgusted with the whole thing, but trusting his Mom and Dad anyway. This too shall pass!!
Milomute still manages to keep his dignity even while in the bathtub.
My goodness, dad's got quite an outfit on along with gloves & all^^ He was prepared for sure. However, Milo behaved well during his bath. Great job gents!! 😊
Okay....I give up....you won!!!
Bless his furry little heart. He actually did very well for a first time bath. My hellcat has to be sedated for a bath. The groomers at my vet’s office deserve combat pay.
The look of sheer indignation on his wee face - classic
he is very handsome!..i remember my Maine coons 1st bath!...it was also her last bath!.....my injuries healed, in time, but we made a vow, cat to dad, that she would lick herself from then on, and I would never be so foolish again....
Haha lol
Shane isn’t a cat person, he’s a Milo person. Having participated in cat-bathing, it’s incredible how calm that scene was!
I agree with u 100% Shane has patience with Milo. He was all prepared to bath him. I will give him credit.
I have heard other MC owners say to leave the head dry. Three years seem like a long time to wait for the first bath. Milo is so patient and trusting. He is well-loved and cared for!
I think Milo likes getting bathed, he was very relaxed getting soap up! Papa did a good job! 💜🙏🤗
i mean for his first bath i think he did wonderful
"Did wonderful"?
Asif Khan he did do wonderful, my cat stabbed me on my back
Milo was thinking this was the prepping for Phil. Now he knows how Phil feels! 😂
What does it say when you feel the need to wear armor while bathing a cat, but not when bathing a dog more than four times its size? 😁
The answer is in the question itself! You are BATHING A CAT!
I remember when my grandparents had a cat, if I was playing with her I wore gloves just in case, never felt the need to with a dog lol
Cats have retractable claws and when they scared they will attack - only natural.
Because bathing one of the happy clouds they just judge you, that thig is pure evil on 4 paws
And yet he was actually far better behaved than Phil
You should be more carefull with Milo's ears. Water should never get into them
Garnil igo chill.
@@jasonlow7010 I just suggested it. I wasnt aggressive at all. Maybe you should chill
It's necessary to put a piece of cotton in Milo's ears.
@@jasonlow7010 yaa chill until milo gets a nasty ear infection due to the water :|
U think they dont know that?
Poor Milo. Our cats would be tearing my skin and bolting away. Good boy for getting pretty.😍
Why you think Shane was wearing SWAT-level protection to bath Milo?
Hahahahahahahah... oh Milo you poor little guy, hahahah... i almost couldn't recognize him with all the floofs gone... i'm amazed that he's so quiet tho... both of my cats are very vocal during bath time it almost sounds like we're doing a ruthless torture or smth, hahah... Very good boi Milo, i hope you'll get used to more baths in the future~ (also those biker gears are hilarious, hahahahah... it's a good idea tho, you might want to keep wearing them during your sleep at night to anticipate Milo's revenge, hahah!)
I love how Shane is well prepared with his clothing choices lol. Good job Shane and good boy Milo ! I love the commentary....better sleep with one eye open tonight ....lmao !
I think milo needs to go for a professional groom, looks like he is struggling a wee bit when grooming himself . Help me hooman 🐈🐈✂️✂️ 😍🐱 he looks like a big ball of fur 😄
Kay Shufflebotham Not a bad idea. He sure is one beautiful moggie 💞
I agree. I had a Ragdolls who could not groom himself well so I took him to the groomers. Worked out very well.
Considering the breed of cat he is they all have longer hair like that
I did think that he needed a fur cut 😬
I was thinking he probably needed a shave too. They could have left a mane around his neck and made him look like a lion.
💕🐾 Oh, Milo, you are SUCH a good boy...he looks wonderful and that has to feel better!:D 🐾💕
Milo is such a handsome boy even when he's pissed off! What a cool cat - who act's more like a dog.
I truly enjoy his personality....U'r pets are so well behaved cause they're very loved - not 1 is neglected....that Mia baby girl is such a sweet n happy soul - our planet is a better place with all the joy u folks share w/us especially now when we need as much Love n Light as we can get : )
your family has to be the most calm, loving, caring household ever. I have never seen a cat have a first bath & just look long suffering! I'm sure Shane would have copped a few claw marks had he not been wearing his bike gear but I feel like they would have been accidents as he made a run for it. Truly a joy to watch, my new favourite channel.
Wow! I can’t believe that he didn’t cry once during that whole time! That’s impressive! Milo did incredibly well, considering that was his first bath and he wasn’t bathed as a kitten!
I used to shower with one of my cats when she was a kitten and she would cry the entire time! But I had to do it, on vets orders, with a special medicated shampoo, as she had a skin condition.
This actually went really well!! Congratulations Milo! And to you guys too!! 😁👏🏼💕
I don’t mean to laugh at milo’s expense but he looked so funny.
Now that’s one well trained husband 👏👏👏👏👏🙆♀️🙆♀️🙆♀️🙆♀️🐶💋💋
Aww he was so good being bathed, bless him.
What an amazingly calm, accepting cat!! Wow! Good kitty. Our cat would immediately slash you to ribbons if you tried that with her. You should be so grateful to this lovely animal for not going ballistic. Give your cat a biscuit!
Milo looks so beautiful during his grooming. Daddy did a good job. Doesn’t look like that he didn’t want the cat initially, now he is close to milo.😍
That's a major case of stink eye. Safety clothes defiantly a good idea.
Goodness Milos face when you are holding him cleaning his belly is hilarious. I think he was plotting against you guys. ha ha
He must be the most well behaved cat I've ever seen getting a bath.
OMG, Milo is so incredibly patient. My cat would massacre me immediately, with or without overalls
That’s a true cat owner! Look at that gear for the bath!
Dude put a towel in the water , so the cat will have more Trip and a safer feeling
Thommsen wow, never thought of that. Thanks for sharing
Natalie Mendoza your welcome
I love how as soon as she said bath the dogs were howling
I love the body armor. That’s ingenious.
Learned from his big brother Phil that bath must be escaped from haha 😂 😂❤️❤️
Amazing the colour of the water that came off such a small creature! Dads protective outfit was hilarious too!
Maybe off Milos dads socks.
He’s such a calm cat. When my cat is uncomfortable she goes into a full frenzy
I did feel sorry for Milo really i did but gosh that video was funny the look on his face was one very grumpy and angry Maine Coon and the captions were hilarious and Shane did a fantastic job
I think Milo needed Niko there for moral support.
i love the personal protective equipment and how calmly Milo is handling this entire situation.
He's doing better than most.
i’m so proud of how calm milo was , he did so great for his first time , he obviously trusts y’all a lot , my cats trust me but they’re still kids n literally get into attack mode when i try n bath them
saying him not being happy is an understatement
Shane is the best. I can't stop laughing at the get up and he let you film him.
Ya Milo is a calm cat, You put on way to much protective gear.
Silver Spider Right?!😂😂😂
Better be safe than sorry.
Milo knows he to well protected for the flying claw attack, but planning his revenge when you least expect it one day your going to pay for this, a thousand fold.
He does claw alot that's why lmao
On my gosh! Your husband is a total trooper! And a keeper!
My 4 cats are so used to having a shower twice a year, the 2 long hair go to the groomer as well 2x a year. Milo doesn’t look too bad, he’s well behaved 😻🥰 good boy Milo!❤️
Milo still looking adorable cosplaying as a drowned rat!😆😆😆❤❤
i've never met a cat who actually loves to take baths, so I'm still waiting for that day. Good job, Milo, for not acting out as much during your bath
Try looking for a grooming center that grooms cat. There's actually many cats that are very calm and maybe loves bath. I think the trick is to use warm water.
Seriously, Milo is an angel. 😇 Best take the wee one to a groomer next time so that he won't be too miffed with his hoomans 😂😂💛💛💜💛💜😂😂😂😂😂😂
Milo was a very good kitty.
Milo: "I leave you very big hairball for present. I bite you!"
Milo done so good with his bath. I like the way you both love your fur babies.😚
I have a Maine Coon cat, i take her to a groomer. Less stress on her and me.🐈🙂🤗😘❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙂🛁He has been a very good boy. 🙂
Yep
I like how he is in full motorcycle armor and gloves just in case
I had to watch this again. Shane has his hazmat suit on. Very wise. I am just amazed at how Milo is behaving. There is no way I could get either of my cats in the bathtub. Lol
Milo maintains his majesty even when soaking wet! What a good boy he knows he can trust his folks
Never thought of cleaning me bike gear like that lol that’s a seriously unhappy face 😂
When "dad" walked in with a space suit on I thought "what the hell". LOL!! You guys are the best pet parents.
Oh Wow!! I didn’t realize that Milo was a Maine Coon. He looks so much like a Norwegian Forest Cat - mainly the shape of his face & his overall size. He’s so beautiful!! Blessings!!!
Milo accepted his fate, he knows it's not what he wants, but knows the bath was needed as his fur wad getting knotted. Brave boi Milo.
Milo was an exceptionally cool cat!! We had a Maine Coon mix (The Bear) & I used a brush called The Furminator on him @Life with Malamutes -- there are many different types of this brush so you choose the right one for your cat. They are amazing & will get every single knot out but you need to be careful not to overuse them or you'll break the coat down too much & are so useful for all that delicate work of getting the knots out of their britches & underarms!!
I still remember trying to bathe our cat after he fell into Dad's sump oil. Four adults, one cat. Maybe Milo has watched the dogs enough?
Milo is really taking this well! I’ve read that if you can, it’s best to introduce cats to bathing as kittens.
Awww, poor Milo. I understood he needed a bath, but he just looked so sad. Wow, he wasn't crying or fighting Dad at all, very well behaved. I had a beautiful black cat I rescued when she was 7-8 weeks old. She was like my daughter, and I was definitely her Daddy. She trusted me, without any doubt. She would let me bathe her at least once a month. She would cry/meow sometimes, but nothing too bad. This video reminded me of taking care of Shasha. Made me cry a little, I miss Shasha so much! Even though she past 27 years ago, I still think of her a lot! That's a great suit Dad was wearing. Good idea!
That was a great video, I just love your cat Milo. Of course, I love your beautiful dogs, Nikko and Philly Bear!! God bless your beautiful baby Miya, and Mommy and Daddy!!
he was surprisingly cooperative actually
Wish I could jump into my screen and hug him with a towel.....poor milo was shivering...💗💗💗💗💗. He really needed the shower thou.
I am DYING at the protection gear!😂😂
I'm a fairly new subbie and missed this the first time around.👏🏽👏🏽
He did great! My poor cat is fighting for his life when I try to give him a bath.
I am so impressed by Milo! Such a good kitty! 😘
Milo is my favorite cat,very unique
I need a cat like milo,fell in love with such a sweet cat❤❤❤
4:18 Milo: "Infidel Defilers! They shall all drown in lakes of blood! Now they will know why they are afraid of the dark! Now they learn why they fear the night!" (Conan the Barbarian movie)
😾😾😾
Omg I thought Milo would be meowing and yeoling up a storm...he didn’t make a peep! He loves you guys!!
Milo! The prime example of why cats hate water - especially bath time! Oh the looks Milo is giving! Message from Milo reads, "humans beware! There's going to be alot of damage to you and the house once I'm dry and out of the water!"
Milo is the most relaxed kitty I’ve ever seen.
Love the tenacity of these animals and so proud to hail from a county in Ireland where we are referred to Kilkenny cats!
Beautiful result!! Milo is so mellow.
4:18 gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "if looks could kill" LOL!
Re-watching. This has got to be the funniest one ever! Shane in all his gear. Would’ve added a face shield🤣
Awe, Milo was such a good boy!! So cute!!.❤
Milo went from being a very fluffy cat, to being a cat that looks like he's been abused.
🤣😂
Just love that "I am not amused" face of Milo :)
Hi, I had a sad day today and I don’t know how I ended up in your channel watching this video. But made me smile and laugh, your cat Milo is adorable. Thanks for video. Bless from NY.
But he so calm! What a precious cat
