Nudacris isn't the only sassy naked cat in Lisa Holder's life.
As her social media followers know, she's also mom to two other sphynx cats and one furred cat. But to add to the sassy naked kitty fun in her family, her daughter Skylar is also mom to a sphynx cat named Mr. Nimbus. Nudacris may have met his match in Mr. Nimbus.
But Nudacris doesn't have to worry too much about his sassy frenemy Mr. Nimbus at the moment because he just got neutered and is having some recovery issues, which Nudacris is all too familiar with from his surgery last year.
Mr. Nimbus Had A Scary Recovery Issue After Getting Neutered
The day before Mr. Nimbus was set to be neutered, Holder shared a video on TikTok of the adorable little guy being vocal about his thoughts on what's to come.
She captioned the video, "Tomorrow is the day for Mr. Nimbus. He goes and gets neutered. Heβs not thrilled about the whole situation and he has a lot to say today about it."
As Holder is petting the sweet kitty and talking to him about his upcoming surgery, Mr. Nimbus replies with a few sad sounding meows.
"Yeah. You found out about your surgery tomorrow, didn't you?," Holder asks the meowing cat. "It's okay, Mr. Nims, you'll do good. And then you get to wear a cute little cone. It's gonna be beautiful."
Just one problem, the cone didn't work out for Mr. Nimbus after surgery. In a follow-up video, Holder explains the scary situation that her and Skylar were dealing with.
"Quick update on Mr. Nimbus. The cone, the soft cones, he can get off and he can still lick himself. So I called the vet, went to the vet and got the plastic cone that they usually give you," Holder began explaining. "When we put that on Mr. Nimbus, he somehow got his jaw under the thing of the cone to where it looked like his jaw, it was open, was gonna be ripped off."
After seeing that, Holder and her daughter cut and ripped the cone off of the cat's body quickly. Now with no cone to protect him from licking his wound, the mother and daughter went to PetSmart to get a surgical onesie with the hope that this is the solution, and the poor kitty can begin to heal in peace.

Holder's loyal followers, who have been following along with Mr. Nimbus' surgery, left their thoughts and advice in the comment section of the video.
"A similar thing happened to my cat but with a collar. Her lower jaw got stuck, and I literally thought she had dislocated it. So scary," one person shared. Holder replied, "Oh my gosh, it was scary Skylar totally panicked and I was freaking out it look like he was going to rip his jaw off we immediately cut the cone."
Another follower could relate to the insanity and said, "I never understood cones for neuters until my current crazy male cat ripped himself open twice π΅βπ« youβre doing the right thing!"
Mr. Nimbus Now Has To Wear A Surgical Onesie For A While
Holder's followers have all seen how Nudacris hated his cone and what he did to get out of it, but Mr. Nimbus' situation took a little bit of a different turn. Since the soft cone and hard cone didn't work Mr. Nimbus, they had to resort to a surgical onesie, which was a process to get on the not-so-amused cat.
It was a two-woman job with Holder and her daughter trying to get the awkward onesie on Mr. Nimbus who really wasn't too thrilled about all the attention after his surgery. But they did it successfully and the cat seemed to handle it well.
In true naked cat style, Mr. Nimbus was not thrilled that he needed to wear clothes, but it appears that he will get used to it a bit easier than the cone situation.
"He and Nudacris need matching onesies," one follower hilariously suggested. "He has been around Nudacris too much ππππ," said another.
Another follower wanted to reassure the adorable cat by saying, "Two weeks of this. π’Mr Nimbus we are here for you. π₯°"
A follow-up video shows that he's walking around with the onesie but he isn't completely cool with it just yet. See video HERE.
