Diabetic cat kicked me on my wrist .
Added:See, I was very careful with you because you are because you are diabetic.
Diabetic or not, I am very careful with cats. Here, look, we have a sheep.
Kicked my wrist. And this is what I got from him. What is this wound? So, they ask me, are you scruffing cats? Am I scruffing cats, guys?
I'll be honest, I'm offended.
Hello. Hello. My name is Donnie and I'm your cat whisperer. So, today we have male domestic long-haired cat named Soho.
This groom will be a bit a bit of a risky groom because uh first I don't know I don't know his temperament yet, but the owner said that this guy this guy is diabetic. Um they stopped bringing him to other groomers because the other groomers are scruffing. So they asked me are you scruffing cats? Am I scruffing cats guys?
And the thing the thing is um they said that even the slightest nick or wound uh that that he will have it will take uh a long time to to heal because he's diabetic. But let's see. I told him that I will have to see and check if he will be okay with the grooming. And of course no scruffing. I never scruff cats. I hate I I am against scruffing cats and they need like a a short haircut but not too short because he he's been vomiting hair balls and yeah that's it. Let's start.
How are you? Are you going to be spicy?
I hope not, my friend.
Okay, guys. [clears throat] So, this is Soho. Soho boy. Uh ears the the right ear is tipped but why right? Are you were you a rescue? Let's cut your murder mittens before anything else.
Uh, I'm not using the gloves and I'm not putting any cone on his head right now because he hasn't given me any any sign of aggression, you know. See, but he is quite scared.
Uh to be honest, I know I know that the I know that it was just I know that it was just a question regarding regarding scruffing, but I'll be honest.
I'll be honest, I'm offended by just a little bit. But yeah, it's okay. It's it's it's fine to ask. No problem. I just got a bit of a little bit offended by it because I never scruff cats ever.
I know. Hello.
Why? Don't be scared, Boopy. I'm not going to scruff you, my friend.
No scruffing here.
So, they saw that they saw other groomers scruffing you and they were scared that I might scruff you as well, and they've been following me.
So, I politely ask them, "Since you've been following me, have you ever seen me scruff a cat? Even once, even to those even to the most spicy ones, have you seen me scrub?" I hold them here. I hold them down here by the by the neck. And it's very light. And the reason why I do this is here by the neck and using my non-dominant hand, which is the left hand. So it will be more lighter. So this just prevents them to you know to move to to reach and bite me and you know it's like I will have a warning that oh he's going to he's going to do he's going to go this way he's going to do the cat is going this way the cat will be you know moving.
So this is like see this helps me to gauge their movements and also and also to avoid being being bitten but still but still because I'm because I'm very soft with cats. I still get bitten at times.
Still get bitten. I still get scratched.
Yes. Now your ears are done. Your nails are done, my friend.
Now, can we do a hyperlapse? Can we just check? Can we just check if you're going to be scared of the clipper?
No. Going to be fine.
