A gentle reminder to clients. I understand you have long waits to book in with a groomer. I also understand you wait a long time to even hear back from a groomer - including myself.
What I would appreciate clients understanding is (and I don’t hide this) I have long covid which means pain 24 hours a day for the last 5 years of my life.
I have still managed to groom and help remove mats from over 1500 cats. Working long hours to fit in as many cats as possible to the detriment of my own health. I have now had 3 viruses back to back including covid which has wiped me out while having a 2 year old that was sick at the same time.
I have also made you aware that I have started a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy wellness business that helps long covid, fibromyalgia, MS, giving people their health back. I will not be made to feel guilty for juggling all of these things.
It is shedding season which means matted cats, delays in appointments because mat removals can easily add on another hour per cat, delays with roadworks and just life.
I will not be shamed into being told you feel sorry for cats. Margaret has forgotten I arrived the first time with her cats nails ingrown and bleeding into the paw and now infected. I didn’t make her feel ashamed. My diary is almost fully booked until January so the cats are just fine. Their are plenty of groomers to choose from.
I appreciate the kindness clients have shown me when they see I am going over and above because I love your cats and I have the best clients. I will message clients back today who have been waiting to get booked in 🤍
