CHOUCHOU IS HUGE! Also Furgison is so funny when he just PINS ChouChou down just to groom him 😂

Wet Chouchou is an adorable little gremlin. He’s surprisingly calm, as well. You socialised him well!

Chou has them boots with the fur!

We had 2 siblings from the same litter and one of them always tried to clean the other. He would pin him down to lick him. We called it the "power-wash"

Look how big Chouchou has gotten! I loved the undercarriage view on the glass table 😅

I immediately saw that Chou Chou was comfortable to sit in the sun after the haircut too too! 😄 I can only imagine how hard that was with all that fur, glad he's feeling better with the new haircut 🥰

Having watched Girl with the Dogs for over a year now, I actually recognized all of the steps that went into grooming him! :D

We got our elderly, arthritic cat a lion cut this summer because he was matting and struggling to groom, and he has so much more energy now! It makes him more of a mischief-maker but he's so much happier now.

OMG, looks like he’s wearing leg warmers. And that tail… 😻😻😻

My Grandparents have a long haired cat named Glenn. He’s prone to matting because he hates getting brushed and also gets pretty hot in the summer. While I doubt Glenn loves the grooming process, whenever he gets shaved he’s like a different cat afterwards. It’s almost as if you can see the weight lift off of his shoulders!

i can see asami has survived many battles over the course of her career, with all those battle scars

Thanks for pointing out that cutting a cat fur should be for health and/or comfort of the cat themselves and not esthetics.

My cat had a mouth problem and couldn't groom herself which resulted in severe matting close to her skin. I was so afraid of taking her to a groomer because her last experience wasn't that great. But luckily it went very well! And paired with a needed surgery, it did wonders! She is turning 11 in two days and was very sleepy and unmotivated for a long time. Now she is running and playing again ♥♥ Seeing Chouchou getting a haircut and getting so much better is bringing me joy. Thank you for sharing his journey ♥♥

I'm so happy you and andrew are now officially Chou's parents.

Chouchou is like “what are you doing to me?” When he’s getting bathed that is. Lol 😂

FERGUSON!!! What an awesome cat he is to help ChouChou with his grooming! My larger, more dominant cat started grooming my BooBoo (profile pic) & now BooBoo just let's her groom her all the time! She doesn't even bother with grooming because she know Pandora will do it all! Poor Pandora gets special hair ball control treats because of the extra work! ❤🐈‍⬛

I've never thought Persian cats were very cute, but man, Chouchou is a cute cat. I'm so glad he is feeling better after his spa day.

He’s a handsome guy. It warms my heart that there’s people like you that care so much. Keep doing what you do please!

I love that the little prince has his own handmaiden lol.. i really hope that the plans for his mouth work out and that he can live a long and happy healthy life

His tail pouf is adorable!

My friend has a Norwegian Forest Cat and he loves his groom he is very lethargic without it. CHOU chou looks great keep it like he will feel much happier.

Chouchou's facial expression during the grooming session is very telling... something like "I won't forget this easily. Better get some treats ready...😉 He needed the experience of "post-grooming" to forgive you....

My beloved Qlara stopped grooming herself once she started getting old and her health declined, and she absolutely hated being brushed, so she got shaved into pretty much the exact same cut as Chouchou. She was a different cat afterward, she was so bright and energetic, and truly seemed so much happier! I'm glad it made her last months with me more comfortable for her. It's only been a couple of months since she left me, and I miss her every day

The panting really puts into perspective how much he needed that cut! Great job Asami and Chou!

Maybe Ferguson knows poor Chouchou can't really groom himself and wants to help his buddy ❤️ That's just adorable 😺

Lord Simba 🦁🦁. . . regal, with a tail-stylling to die for.

Little Chou is an adorable kitten who faces so many challenges, along with his human caregivers!

Hannah is so right about grooming being for just certain cats with special needs. A friend had a Persian with long fur & a flat face who had a terrible time keeping herself clean. My friend figured out to get her groomed & the cat was soooo much happier. (Curses on those breeders, who did this to them!) I have a long haired black cat who’s fur is like Velcro! She gets leaves, sticks & other debris stuck to her fur. She grows a huge lion’s ruff every winter. I trim the fur under her chin, because it is always in her nose. She’s still fairly young, and with some brushing help, does a good job grooming, but I figure when she starts getting mats, she may need help with a yearly fur-cut. Thank you for explaining how important it is to find a professional! 🐈‍⬛

Oh my, wet faced Chou Chou is just too much, toooo adorable! And the way Ferguson force grooms him is hilarious!

Love to see a groomer so considerate of cats, even down to using a container so they don't get stressed and little cotton balls to protect their ears

I can't believe he's got leg warmers. Like a 90s Japanese teenager

Precious boy went from a cumulus nimbus cloud to a stratus

Ferguson is such a good foster brother!!! And Chou is gonna make such a good companion! He’s so chill. I think he actually enjoyed his bath!

I used to have a gigantic ragamuffin girl. I adopted her late in life and she was covered in hair knots. Bad previous owners. She'd been removed from their home. I got her shaved because there were too many to safely cut. She loved the grooming so much that I did it for her every summer. She loved to sleep on the cool floor tiles and would alternate tiles once she'd warmed them up.

Wow, Asami is good. It's like a pampering! Relieved to hear that Ferguson is as dedicated as ever to Chouchou.

What a sweet, tolerant boy! Thank you for giving him a good home and helping him to be so well adjusted.

We need a Kitten Lady and Girl with the dogs cross over. Lol.

I swear he looks a doll and not a living creature. He's so precious

Well done for grooming him for good reasons & well done to Ferguson for continuing to pin his friend down & groom Chouchou mercilessly!

Shaving down is also good for cats with IBS as hairballs can trigger flare ups. My foster cat is medium haired and I can not brush enough to keep up during shedding seasons. So the rescue arranges for her grooming/ lion cut. I was going to try to do this myself and now I will let the professionals do this at her veterinarian clinic.

Love to see a grooming process that really respects the cat.

My mums a professional groomer too! She always talks about her cats are so delicate and it took her a long time to perfect her cat technique but now she's the best 😎

Chou was such a good boy, he must have realized it was going to be a big relief. His tail poof is so big hahahaha And Fergie is such a good friend, taking care of Chouchou's big coat. How can I not love them?

Ferguson is such a sweet boy for showing so much affection to chouchou.

Oh my goodness, Chouchou is so big now! It seems like only yesterday he was a tiny fluffy baby, and now he's big and cuddly. They grow up so fast.

Chou is such a doll. OMG…Ferguson is just too adorbs, the way he feels it’s his MISSION IN LIFE to keep Chou Chou groomed - like he knows Chou can’t manage on his own. Cats can be so amazingly perceptive. Enjoy the cool breezes, Chou.

He is so adorable. My late persian Simba used to strut after each groom. In about 6 weeks, Chouchou's fur will be a the "teddy bear" length. You're going to love it.

those post wash whiskers are adorable

We need a Fergi update! Chou Chou is so sweet, glad he feels better after his little salon time.

He looks like a little fluffy Q-Tip 😍

I think you did the right thing he looks much happier

My Elijah received his first Lion cut a month ago, and his entire lifestyle has changed for the better. He is the happiest he has ever been. He was extremely overheated and matted before, and he could not groom himself.

He's got little rave boots!!! Those whiskers are sooooo long!

So grateful for all you do for the animal kingdom,

I love Chouchou so much, even though he has a severe cleft palate, He still gets through as just a normal kitten/cat. so, even in bad times, he can make the best out of it.

It's like his world opened up a hundred-fold after he was groomed. Very nice video!

Chouchou looks so cute with his new hair cut !! I love his playful attitude too.

He is so lucky to have you. I hope you keep him forever.

So happy to see Fergie doing so well and enjoying life so much too!!! Chou Chou is adorable. I fostered a poorly kitten with a long troublesome coat, and he was called Frou Frou... must be something in the air :D

Chouchou is so much smaller now that he's been groomed that maybe he's just become Chou! He's so cute and adorable.

Oh Ferguson...You’re too adorable Buddy!! Great to see you looking so great. Wow...What a difference for Chouchou!! Not only does he look great, but the relief of all that hair gone must just be amazing for him. I know how I feel in the heat, but can’t imagine how tough it is for a long haired Cat/Kitten in the heat. Fantastic to see just how obviously the change in amount of coat made to that lil guy. 😊

Aw he looks so cute like a little Pokemon

What an amazing result, well done to the Groomer. Chouchou you must feel fantastic and watching him clearly shows how good her feels. Just look at Ferguson, wow. You are so beautiful. Once again thank you to everybody. 🐈🐾💗🇦🇺

Oh my goodness! You have enough hair for two more kitties! Poor guy; he is probably soooo much better

I had my Himalayan boy groomed in May to help with late spring heat waves, and it helped SO much! He was more playful, and sociable afterwards! I could tell he wasn't spending so much of his time just trying to cool off.

I love his unicorn tail-tuft and mad scientist gloves, omg. What a cutie. He and Ferguson are super adorable!

He knows he friend needs his hair brushed, hahaha. So sweet.

We had one cat who lived outside who we got shaved every summer. She looked like ChouChou, but she had dark-colored fur. She absolutely loved being shaved! And, yes, ChouChou suddenly has grown tremendously. 😎🇬🇧🇺🇸

Ferguson is such a special kitty, I love him so much! ChouChou looks so happy and cute, Ferguson is a lucky guy.

We have to do the same with our elderly Birman… it’s amazing how much happier our beautiful boy is after his trip to the groomers

Ferguson might have adopted chuchu ATTACK & CLEAN LIKE A MOM 🤣

Aww, I’m happy Chouchou is still doing good! That lion cut is adorable.

chou is so well behaved and so so patient with every step,but I bet he realized he was feeling a lot better as the process went on and that helped

His face right after the bath, adorable lil gremlin 😹😻

Ferg: Need help there, bro? Chou: Nah, bro I'm good F: Sure? Because I'm pretty good at it. C: Yeah, I got this F: OK, but if you want to- C: NO!!!

Ferguson ; "Man, you look like a posh poodle now..." "Without all that fluff" ! Chouchou; "I'm no pooch" ! "Now give me a mohawk" "With plenty saliva" !!!

Just adorable watching his friend groom him.

Crying with laughter at Ferguson pinning Chouchou down for grooming 😆

I have a big orange long hair cat. He has been having trouble the last few years keeping up with grooming and hates being brushed. Every late spring/early summer he gets a bath and shave. He is so incredibly happy after his shave. He’s no longer grumpy and constantly laying in the dusty ol basement where it is coolest. Back to his lover boy self for the next several months.

That tail is so ridiculous. 🤣 Also Fergie is hilarious. "you will be groomed, and you will LIKE IT!!"

The tail! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 So adorable!

I am AMAZED at how calm he was the entire time, especially during shaving and bathing, wow!!!

Oh he's such a precious boy and look how he's grown!💙💜💖It's good to see Ferguson doing so well too and he and Chouchou are such great pals.

Chouchou looks SO adorable with his tummy rolls and cute poofy tail. I've been in love with this tiny miracle since your first video of him. He is SO sweet!!!!

As a groomer I can say she is an amazing cat groomer. So many dog groomers will occasionally groom cats but they really don't know how to do it properly. Glad to see inadequate grooming for cats!

I grew up with a black cat whose fur was just like this. We had him shaved every summer and he was so much happier for it.

He does look more comfortable. And Adorable as usual.

I used to take my late cat Leon, who was a forest cat mix, to the vet every summer to shave his fur short, especially around the butt. He was an indoor cat, and my appartment is very hot during the summer. But they needed to sedate him to get the job done. Chou Chou is a beautiful cat, and I hope that they can fix his cleft palate soon. It is so cute when Ferguson is grooming him.....! 🐾💖

I just adore ChouChou. I have been following him since you brought him home in his shoebox. He always makes me smile. Way to go ChouChou. You are one handsome dude! ❤️

my white persian Jinxie (she's deaf!) also has an entirely different personality when she's shaved! I shave her at home every 2-3 months and she adores it. Love to see chouchou in such a cute cut!

Chouchou is the best behaved little cat....well done all. He really is so small, so good to hear is is so happy. Fergie does a good job he holds that little Chouchou firmly and works in him.

The shelter where I volunteered called it the lion's mane cut. Some of the bigger cats needed it to stay cool in the summer. A few others required it because of grooming or medical issues. I will mention that this is something that should only be done by a pet groomer (as the shelter did). A pet groomer will know how to cut and where, and leave everything else alone.

He's gotten SO FLUFFY!!!!!!!

Chou Chou has the hair of two cat. He’s a doll!

Chouchou got so big! And his tiny meow when he was being subdued and shaved!!

Aww. It's good to see little Chouchou thriving

When asami is washing chouchou he looks hilarious, also when you call him chou, it sounds like your calling him shoe

Wow, Chouchou did so well! What a good kitty. I love the poof tail!

He must feel absolutely amazing now! And what a good boy too! xxx

We love chouchou! Adorable cotton fluffball. He's grown so much! Must confess though I can't stop calling him 'chew chew'...
