- hello~✸
I would like to formally introduce you to my cat Persimmon! I spend way too much time at home to not have a little friend so I'm glad I finally met the right cat to bring into my life. She's been nothing but a joy to be around and I love her and I hope you all do too~ :)

the way your hair matches….
And her white top😂
super normal to be overwhelmed or even remorseful after getting a new guy!! it throws off your routine and changes ur whole world. when the kitties were babies i would cry at night bc they wouldn’t let me sleep from how bad they had the zoomies :’) and i got puppy blues pretty bad with oli- that shit is on another level lol. but persimmon seems to be doing great and im glad you’re feeling better now :)
the night zoomies ARE SO CRAZY it's so funny, thank you for sharing
Welcome Persimmon!! Calicos are the loveliest and the cutest cats ever I'm so happy for you 🥹🧡🧡🧡 I hope you both live happily together 🫶🏻
I love calicos they’re so cutie pie ✨
Wait tho is it spelled Persimmon or Purrsimmon?? We must know!!
@@jill_rose_creations its persimmon, she put it on the screen in the beginning
@@courtneyshock2792 Yeahhh I saw it later on in the video actually but then couldn't find my irrelevant comment to remove it 😕
I ***adore*** calicos! They have such charming personalities. Sometimes independent and mysterious, sometimes super loving and affectionate, sometimes profoundly goofy.
And her little calico nose freckles are adooorraaaabbbllleeeee
Oh and litter recommendation: Dr. Elsey's is the best imo. Good clumps, low dust, and good odor control.
"Purrsimmon" 😂 that would've been so extra! Congrats btw!
I agree
i felt the same way when i got my second dog (idk why not for my first dog LOL), but it went away very quickly. i think i was just so overwhelmed with having two and it meant it was just twice more work that clicked when she came home. but now i wouldn't change it for the world they are my babies
“That’s a good cat right there” 🤍🤎🧡🤍🤎🧡🤍
Cat mom era suits you so much! And she looks like the perfect and prettiest and goodest kitty cat 🥹 thank you for sharing her with us and giving us extra happiness ❤
thank you!! I'm a mothaaa!!!
Your new cat is ADORABLE! As someone who has two cats I DEFINETLY HIGHLY recommend Dr. Elsey’s Premium Clumping Cat Litter. I struggled with finding a good clumping litter, but right when I found this brand, I NEVER have gone back. Many other cat owners have also told me they use it for their cat's with asthma as when their cat is pushing it around, it won't cause dust to blow up. I use the brand in my litter robot, but before I had the litter robot I used it in their normal litter box and it got EVERYTHING clumped, no loose pieces or anything.
I just noticed the little round orange spot on her arm looks kind of like a persimmon too omg!
Sooo cute!! What a sweet name for a sweet little friend 🥹💖 You guys are such a perfect match! 🖤🧡🤍
Stainless steel tray: I have owned the same tray since I got my cat in 2018. They don’t absorb the smell and stain like plastic, so you don’t have to replace constantly - much better for the environment. Long term I guess you also save money. I just empty and wash with soap once a week. It’s really easy to do because of the surface - no scrubbing
I highly recommend pine pellets!! Not the ones specifically marketed towards cats, because those bags can be upwards of $20+ and you can find bigger bags for around $6 at a farm supply store (like tractor supply). Almost no dust and does a great job at hiding the smells.. also is super easy cleanup as it just basically breaks down into sawdust that you can just dump out/compost it after.. not to mention it’s more eco friendly than traditional clay litters! My only suggestion with this type of litter is getting a litter box that has a sifting compartment so the solids stay on top and the dust goes to the bottom.
TLDR: pine litter from a farm supply store is a life changer 😅
Aw your cat is so calm and gentle, most cats are more impatient with treats like the one you were giving her, but she just patiently waited for you each time you stopped giving it to her 😊
Both your vibes match perfectly! Congrats on getting Persimmon, I love her name, fits her so well ✨
aaaah she matches with your hair, so cute! so excited for this new journey for you, i love having pets!!
Hehe thank you!
it's amazing to see how comfortable she is with you after such a short amount of time
oh it makes me so happy that she chose you. i think it means you two are meant to be :3
she’s soo pretty!! one of my cats (my profile pic) is also a persimmon/percy 🥰 i’m so excited for you, and i’m sure she’s so happy to finally be home!
Oh my goodness what a cutie! Welcome to your home new Persimmon ❤ I actually have a kitty I named Kiko after my favorite childhood tv show, Winx Club.
Totally understand the feeling nerves when adopting a pet. I had fears about not being a pet mom or if they would even like me. But all of our pets (3 cats and 1 dog) have been the best decisions I've ever made. They have helped my mental health so much and helped me through the isolation of living alone through lockdown
Oh I loved Winx Club too!!! It’s nice to hear when other people feel less nervous after settling in with their pets! It’s been almost 6 weeks now and I’m fully in love with her ❤️
@@apple.cheeks I'm so glad to hear that! It's very easy to see in the pieces you shared how much you both have bonded with each other so far 🥰
I’m in love with Almo Nature litter. It’s really soft for her feet, and not dusty. At least not as dusty as other brands I’ve tried. It’s biodegradable, and I personally think it’s one of the best to keep smells at bay.
My Ragdoll boys name is Basil! We use crushed walnut shell litter and it really helps with the smell and is waaay less dusty than the clay stuff. The brand is Naturally Fresh. Congratulations on your fur baby!!
I'm using that one now too! I thought it was too dusty at first, but switching my litter scooper to a metal wire one helped a lot with that. I might just stick with that litter :)
9:12 obsessed with her on the cabinet 😂 I’m so glad you decided to adopt her, she seems so at peace with you and you both look so happy :’)) I hope she and Earl become less awkward with each other as they get to know each other more!!
they've just now recently started interacting hahaha I think Persi is still figuring out how to play with him
She is a CALICÓ! ❤😸
I love my kitty so much, we just get closer and closer over the years somehow. I can’t imagine living without a kitty and I don’t know how anyone else does! U definitely made the right choice :)
I love all the toys and nice litter box and brushes you got for her, I’ve met cat owners who love cats but don’t even get them a brush or any toys
i use pidan tofu cat litter &my cats love it. its no dust, absorbs the smell of the waste, and the clumping works great so its easy to clean&is flushable. plus its made out of soy so it is an eco friendly option💛
She’s so sweet 😻😻😻
I highly recommend the Pidan tofu litter, it’s not dusty at all and helps a lot with smell too!
Such a beautiful cat.
I recommend using cat pellets instead of cat sand for the litter box. It's good for the environment and more economical, plus you can throw the used up in the compost.
persimmon what an absolute cutie!!!! she’s absolutely gorgeous
Cat litter: I get wooden pellets because 1) better for the environment that the weird white chemically clay stuff, 2) I find because they are bigger they are easier to clean up/ less dust around the tray. They slowly absorb moisture and crumble to sawdust over time.
I did the same things lol! I went to the shelter just to look and ended up coming home with a dog! (I had been planning to get a dog, so I was prepared, but I was planning to go a few times before adopting) But it was literally the best thing I've done this year. I got him on the 10th of april.
!!!
She’s so pretty and her coat matches your hair 😭🧡
Persi says thank you!
HIGHLYYY recommend Catalyst cat litter!!!! my senior cat kept getting an eye infection from clay litter😢 i wish i would’ve switched to catalyst sooner tbh. just had to get a wide slot poop scooper but i like that better too!!!
so cutteeeee congratulations!!!
Congrats!! We recently got two kittens too. Saved them from a bad neighborhood of dogs. Brother and sister. Male is Tibby and Female is Kittith. ❤🐈
Cat litter we got was Natural and Fresh. We like it.
awww !!! thank you for giving them a good home
So cute 🥹🐾 She’s so gentle 🧡🤎🤍
What adorable cat Persimmon! Marvelous vlog
My mom uses “pretty liter” and it’s a game changer for smell and clean up (so she says) and I notice it too when I visit! Congratulations! She’s adorable
I highly recommend « Nature’s Calling » litter. It’s made from walnut shells, it’s non toxic, when the cat uses it it forms little clumps that you can remove and throw directly in the toilet. It doesn’t smell. 10/10 👌 used it for years.
My sister and I really love Tuft + Paw's Really Great Cat Litter! No dust and it smells good.
Omg my first and only cat is a calico and she is literally the best cat I could ask for. She is also not problematic and is the biggest cuddler. I’m SO EXCITED for percy art bc they will look like my cat and I will probably buy everything you make of her
I. LOVE. HER!!! My roommate has cat, and my family cat is back home, but I'm hoping to get my own this year!
She is perfect!❤ And she makes you happy! And you are a good cat mum, you will see! ❤❤❤❤
My cat is 18 years old and I have tried *many* different litters and litter trays over the years and currently I'm using World's Best Cat Litter and it is definitely the best I've ever used. I use the unscented one and there is just no smell, it's great. It is dusty when I am first adding it to the litter tray but I don't mind since it's so good with everything else.
Another tip I have is I use a litter liner (acutally just a garbage bag because my litter tray is an odd shape), then put a puppy pee pad in that, then the litter on top. I have found the pee pad stops the liner getting holes and makes changing the litter so much cleaner and quicker.
Anyway sorry for the essay and congrats on your new cat!
Oh my god she is SOOOOO precious I love her so much!!! My ex had a calico and she was the sweetest little baby. ❤ I’m so happy you both have each other, I hope she lives a healthy long life. 🥹
Im crying!!! Congrats on your new kitty soulmate. They bring so much kindness and happiness. Youre doing a wonderful job and she loves you. Cant wait for the perssi art!
I feel like my cat Fuji (also a calico) would be besties with your beautiful Persimmon! 💛💛 so so happy for you both!!! Welcome Persimmon!!
ahhh hello little persimmon 🥰i also have a calico kitty and they are truly beautiful and one of a kind. for cat litter, i like to use World's Best - not very dusty and clumps well for me! my cat also sheds a lot and i found that the Furminator shed tools/brushes were super helpful to get at the undercoat. i highly recommend!
Welcome Persi!! I love her calico markings and it is kinda funny the two of you have the same hair color ❤ I highly recommend World’s Best cat litter. It’s the difference between me being able to have cats or not. I am allergic to the dust clay litters put out. So maybe this litter would work for you and Persi too 😊
Thank you so much for adopting her! Love that your hair is matching with her fur super adorable 🥰🥰🥰 First off, great that you got a stainless steel litter box this is much healthier for you and your cats. I have two cats as well and I got them two litter box just so things don’t get condensed into a one litter box. You can for example keep one upstairs and one downstairs. As for the type of litter yes you should get one that doesn’t give off dust as this will cause allergies for your cats. Unfortunately you have to try different brands to see what wins better with you. I get the kit-kat large molecule dust with lemon scented as the large ones don’t get stuck between their two beans.
Persimmon is gorgeous! I'll say paper and wood base litter are the best. They don't clump, produce dust, and keep the smell under control, also more natural and better for cats.
Congratulations on your fur baby! They help so much when theres an art block. I been walking mine rotating morning and night. With 12 doggos. We just celebrated our senior girls 18th bday 🎂 she had a T-bone steak....she hugged my two oldest after they leveled up in their MMA class.
AAAAAAA!!!! I’m so happy when people get kitties because it’s good for them AND the cat! You got a cute one! Mine is also a calico but she has long hair. Love calicos ❤ YAYY!! 🎉
Sweetie just want to say that your vlog always give me new positive energy. I've stop continuing my art business due to work, I'm missing it sometimes and watching you is work like magic always ❤️
wahhh congrats congrats🥺 persimmon looks so so adorable and i’m excited to see more cameos/art of her! for litter recs, i’ve just started using arm & hammer’s hardball clumping litter! it’s the one litter that’s been low dust (a win for my sensitive cat), amazing odor control (especially with having an uncovered litter box in a bedroom), clumps super well, and is reasonably accessible for me to find in store to purchase!
Omg, I had that same feeling when adopting my first kitty sesame, but my second kitty Vivi was a no-brainer! No regrets!!😍
so cute!!!! you’ll be such a good mom ❤
Omg, omg, that is amazing, congratulations!
Persi is so fuuu cute 🥰
As a tortoise shell cat mom, luna is feisty but also very sweet and loyal!! Her birthday is tomorrow and she will be 5 years old!!! Happy to have her with me since she was a kitten and i hope you develop a deep connection with persi as i did with luna 😊
Awe she's soooooo beautiful and you are suited for eachother that's your cat for sure ❤❤❤
I use FelinePine pine wood sawdust pellets. Greatly reduced smell (if it ever smells it smells like pine, what a surprise) and turns to sawdust when wet. I use a two-pan filter litter box for it (it's like panning for gold but the gold is kitty dookie) and it works really well. My Tippy likes it a whole lot better because it doesn't track as much, doesn't stick to her paws, and it's a natural smell so I think she's more comfortable? Definitely no clay dust or chemical smell.
I use Pretty Litter. No dust. It also tells you how their health is. It does not smell. You can't tell you have a cat. I have it delivered once a month.
She’s sooo cute. I have a calico cat too her name is Ada and I also got her from a shelter. She is sooooo sweet and loving. She loves attention and pets.
Having a cat really does force you to have a routine but in the best way possible. Also I love that your hair matches her!!!
As for litter, I use world's best cat litter because dust free since it's made from corn. Also no one talks about brushing their cats teeth but I've gotten into the habit of doing it because my boy got gingivitis and it's good to avoid having to put them under for frequent dental cleanings.
I put a hummingbird feeder outside my cats favorite window. Its like kitty cat tv. Arm&Hammer Cloud control cat litter is the BESt. There is zero dust its only very slightly scented (my cat wont use scented litter but she has no prob with this one), it clumps urine super good, it seems to not track as bad as my old one and its like baby soft sand. I couldn't believe how soft it felt. Cats love it and I love it cause the litter I had before the dust was sooo bad.
It looks like she chose you. 🥺 She’s so cute. Persimmon is a really nice name for her. You can also get a lot of nicknames from it. My cat, Jimmy, has like 5 nicknames. 😂 ~ Arm & Hammer Slide litter works really well. Low dust and scoopable. I’m not sure how it’d be in a stainless steel box though. We have a plastic box.
Please add all the products in the caption!! I need them! Also congrats🥰
Persimmon is so cute, congrats! Cue all the Persimmon art ❤
so cute!!!
Congratulations on the new cat! ❤ As for litter, Arm and Hammer dust free is the best, but I had to stop using it when it turned out one of my cats was allergic to baking soda. So the second best I've used is Worlds Best. All natural, and it keeps smells pretty under control. It is also easy to scoop, unlike Swheat Scoop which is another all natural brand, but turns to a rock hard concrete when wet.
You can try tofu cat litter (looks like pellets) which is dust free!
So cute! I love calicos! They're every color of the cat rainbow 😻 I have one as well with a bob tail and a rather feisty attitude. For litter recommendations, I'm slowly transitioning my cats to snow pea litter. :) so far so good. If not snow pea, you may also try and look at tofu litters :) I am so happy for youuuu
The "Ok" song really cheered me up, thanks for this whole video.
She’s purrrfect! I love that your hair matches
I am so happy for you! I remember how much of a challenge this was for you for a while.
12:10 not my cat farting in my lap at the same time as this 😭😂
the apparel artists Bandage Brigade just announced they’re releasing a persimmon cat themed hoodie and it has a calico cat on it like your persimmon kitty!!
omgg getting this notification got me so excited ! and watching this whole vlog made me happy-cry for youu !! 🥹🫶 so happy you finally have a cat of your own~~ persimmon is soo cute ! love to see that she looks really calm and happy w youu ! can't wait to see more of her 🥰
She’s so cute and has the cutest name! I’m so happy for you 😽
she is so cute and you two look so happy together
A life without cats is possible but pointless 😻😻😻 I have four! So happy for you two to have found each other 💕
For litter i use Cats Best, the red one. Its organic and helps so much with odor.
So cute! I love calico cats! We use Feline Pine. It is like a wood pellet. We've been using it for years. I didn't like the other litters because of the dust.
Congratulations on motherhood 🐈 I love that your hair matched 😂
OMG absolutely love your cat. As for litter I would recommend Pretty Litter as it changes colors and you can see the internal health state of your cat. Kidney disease is something you would want to catch early and prevent a lot of heartache 😢. Unfortunately I'm speaking from experience. Also I would say walnut litter is better than clay.
Cats are awesome ❤
congratulations to both you and Persimmon💖
ur hair matches with persimmon thats so cute
👯♀️
Was very happy to see this video pop up! Congrats! She is so pretty 😊😊
This was actually a surprise because you already have Earl. I hope they're getting along!
Finally!!! I've watched so many of your videos over the years where you have guest cats and I've always thought you're too much of a cat person not to have a cat! 😅
I’ve been holding it in for so long! I’m glad I waited though, I feel fully ready to have my own now :,)
@@apple.cheeks totally, that's so important to make sure you feel ready though and you took the time to make sure it was right for you. 😊
"i really have to pee" -applecheeks after getting persimmon😆
The matching hair!! You two are the purrrrfect match ( I know thats cheesy haha)
pine litter is gr8
So happy for you! I use world’s best litter for my cats but it can vary by owner. Try a few brands and use what works for the two of you! ❤
I just got a cat too, his still a kitten and his name is Chesh. His my fur baby
She saw your hair and was like: is this mami? Am I finally going home? 😍
If it eases your anxieties...
When my cats first came to me (They literally walked into my house door and I was the one who got adopted by two kittens) they would not let me sleep at night for the first THREE YEARS. I did the pet guru advice and ignored them, but they were hellions. They are my little angels and I've had them for about eight years at this point, but we had a lot of struggles. Persimmon looks to be such a relaxed sweetheart.
oh! for cat litter, don't use pretty litter! its not gentle on their paws and if they swallow any it could harm her. i personally stray away from any scented, clay, and dusty litters. I just do my best to find the most dust free litter and honestly you can find it for pretty affordable prices. baking soda will also help with the smell in litter boxes, so any litter with baking soda in it is a good one! the only reason i stray away from clay is because it cakes up and makes it difficult to scoop, but it tends to be pretty dust free depending on what you find.
havent started watching yet but im SO EXCITED!!!
congrats on your new baby!!! c: for litter the VETRESKA Tofu Cat Litter is good, its not dusty, it looks more like ice cream sprinkles tbh
omg so happy for you. She's purrrfect.
