These two gorgeous girls Rosey Posey (if looks could kill) πŸ˜‚ and Roo Boo (sweet face) πŸ₯° both had a lion cut with me recently due to picking up fleas somehow even though they are both indoor cats.

They usually have a lion cut once a year for the summer months anyway, so their mum just decided to do it a little sooner.

Did you know you can actually bring fleas into your home on your clothes?!

Both girls were mega wriggle monsters and told me off when they didn't like it, usually under the tummy parts.

In the end, Rosey Posey was actually the easier cat to do and ended up looking the neatest. Roo Boo would not let me neaten her up at all. Both girls had their claws clipped too.

And this morning we met 15yr old Broomstick. πŸ₯°

Broomstick doesn't groom herself very much any more and had lots of matting and some pelting in places which had to be removed. She then had a full brush through of her loose undercoat, a claw clip and an eye and ear clean.

You can't even really tell looking at her that she had any matting at all but it was definitely there. She absolutely loved treats and gobbled one after another whilst I sorted out her coat.

Next we have Pepi, named after a cartoon because of his tail. He reminds me soo much of my own Ferdie.

Pepi was found on the streets and was quickly adopted. The vets think he's about 2 yrs old.

Look at those big bright eyes. πŸ₯° He's such an inquisitive boy but he likes a little nibble too so watch your fingers 😬.

Pepi had a full introductory groom plus a sanitary trim and a little may removed. He did very well for his first time. He didn't mind all of the combs or the clippers except for one.

His mum has booked him straight back in to keep on top of his bottom and his nails as he doesn't really use a scratching post and is now an indoor cat.

So far this month it has been black cat month! And I've had the most interesting names for cats so far.

Let me introduce you to Collie Flower, Pepi and Broomstick! πŸ˜† I love it!!

So yesterday started off with a huge 'Not today thank you' from Rex, whom I've groomed twice before. Rex has been off his food all week and was very grouchy so we don't think he was feeling well so we left Rex for today and did his adopted sister (who he's now not allowed to see anymore due to bad behavior) 😬.

His sister is Collie......Collie Flower. Her adoptive mum went to the rescue at Christmas to leave a little donation, but couldn't resist coming back with another cat πŸ˜†. Unfortunately though, Rex and Collie are not getting on so well so they are now living separately.

She had her nails trimmed and a bib trim and a sanitary trim whilst she gobbled down a lick e lix or two. This was her enjoying some catnip on my table afterwards. πŸ₯°

Two senior 🐈 beauties from yesterday.

18 year old Molly had to have a welfare lion cut yesterday as she has stopped grooming herself and had become matted all over. Molly doesn't eat much which means she is super skinny which makes shaving very tricky around her boney limbs, bless her.

Now her cat parents realise this is going to reoccur they are going to book me in more regularly to try to prevent the matting. πŸ₯° She is such a lovely natured cat.

And 16 year old Tom had a full groom with me and a good nose clean. His nose gets super dirty and stained and needs regular cleaning. He did excellently, only growling a couple of times to warn me of delicate areas😺. He wasn't too fond of a treat but he quite liked my table.

I had the pleasure of meeting these two super chilled out maine c**n kittens yesterday.

Calcifer is the big male smokey grey one. He's such a super chilled out dood.

Sprout is the slightly smaller female one who is super inquisitive with smells.

Both had their first ever sanitary trims and were excellent with them and a couple of mats removed each and Calcifer had a bit of a tummy trim as well as he has a much thicker coat and tends to get a few more knots than his sister does.

Gorgeous girls April and Violet had their latest grooms with me yesterday.

April is only 5 but is a slightly larger girl who struggles to keep on top of her coat and her bottom. She has such beautiful markings on her coat.

Although she is a short haired cat, she has quite thick dense fur and she needs a good groom every 8 weeks. Sooo much dead fur comes out of her.

April is used to our grooms now and yesterday she kept wanting to perch her paws on my hand and lean into me whilst I was grooming her. πŸ₯°

Her sister Violet has totally different fur. Hers is so thin and so she mainly just has a claw clip. She's not a fan of our claw clips but yesterday was an improvement with her just telling us, no hisses or growls. She's a good girl really.

She loves to sit and watch April having her groom. This is her on the windowsill doing just that. 😺

Another gorgeous 23 year old boy today for a groom.

Marmalade had gotten a few uncomfortable mats underneath and on his legs and wouldn't let his mam brush him at all.

He had all of his mats removed, a sanitary trim, a good brush through and a claw clip.

Marmalade was easily distracted for most of the mat clipping, let his mum hold him like a baby to get his claws done but was not a fan of being combed at all so we went nice and gently for him to cause as little discomfort as possible. He did super well and all was complete. πŸ₯°

Little lady Frankie had her 2nd groom with me the other day.

Nobody really knows too much about Frankie's background including just how old she actually is due to spending a considerable amount of time on the streets.

She has little old lady extremely thick and curled under nails that require special clippers to get through them and her coat is super greasy and full of either dandruff or eczema.

Frankie always loves a fuss and purs and purs whilst she's being brushed. She loves her ears being cleaned too.

We've booked Frankie in for her 3rd groom and are going to include a nice bath next time to see if we can really freshen up her coat.

What a handsome boy 😍. Jasper had his first groom with me on Saturday.

Jasper is 2 years old and has a massive coat. He'd built up a few pesky mats and was getting his bib in his mouth.

Jasper did sooo well for his first groom. His dad kept him busy with treats whilst I got to work removing all the mats. Afterwards, he had a full brush through, a bib trim and a sanitary trim.

Then he and his sister enjoyed some catnip afterwards.

Isn't he so photogenic? I could take pictures all day of him. 😺

I met my oldest customer yet today, sweet old lady Lilo. πŸ₯°

Lilo is a whopping 22 years old 😲 and has just recently stopped grooming herself. She looked like a spiky hedgehog when I got there today.

Lilo had the full works. She particularly enjoyed her treats and her ears cleaned as those ears were giving her some jip.

As soon as it was all over, she had a bite to eat and went straight back to bed in her cheesy crisp box, (her chosen favourite place to sleep).

Last week I met Ernie for his first groom with me.

Ernie is 3 years old and mega fluffy with cotton wool like fur.

Being a Persian with a really long thick coat, Ernie is used to being groomed but this time the mats had gotten outta control. I hate to do lion cuts and only do when it's a last resort, but it all had to come off. πŸ™ˆπŸ˜Ώ

We gave Ernie lots of treats and lots of breaks.

Ernie did not want to be in any position he didn't want to be, so I had to go with what he was comfortable with and tackle tricky bits under the arm pits in interesting ways. Lick e lix really helped with these areas though.

Ernie is booked straight back in for his next appointment and hopefully we will never have to do a lion cut on him again.

😊 I'm sure you will agree from the picture below that he has such a beautiful coat.

I met this gorgeous chilled out fella, Loki today.

Loki is a beautiful 2 yr old ragdoll, I love those colour markings on his face and his big blue eyes.

He had a few pesky mats removed, a sanitary trim, a little bit of a bib trim, though he was not a fan of this bit, and a trouser trim.

This is him rolling around in valerian compound post groom. πŸ₯°

Last week, I gave Pluto a wet groom.

Pluto is a 9 month old rescue kitten who was a little bit pongy so we gave him a bath to freshen him up.

Pluto was a very wriggly little fella whilst we were trying to get rid of a few naughty mats but once he was in the bath he settled down. I think he actually kinda liked the bath part.

After being all dried, which was probably his least favourite bit of all, he commenced playing with his toys straight away and had forgiven us instantly.

Before the madness of Christmas, I met Kitty and Butch. Mother and son. Kitty is 3 and Butch is 1.

Kitty won't let her mum or dad near her with a comb so she called me for an introductory groom.

We did Butch first, who was a superstar, with Kitty watching from the chair.

When it was her turn, she growled a little bit but she stayed on the table, enjoyed a treat and let me give her a brush, sanitary trim and clean her eyes and ears.

Happy New Year everyone! Snow day today so I thought I'd catch up on a few posts.

Yesterday I met a gorgeous and very aptly named 9 week old kitten, called Lucky, for her first claw clip.

I discovered that Lucky had extra toe beans and extra claws πŸ₯°. Her paws were so spread out. Cats usually have 5 on the front and 4 on the back but Lucky had 6 on both front paws and 5 on one of her back paws. She's a special cat. 😺

This is called polydactylyism. It means she has a genetic condition which caused her to be born with more digits. She will be absolutely fine, it just means she has more nails to clip.

Lucky was such a cutie, she was soo sleepy and nearly went to sleep in my arms. She managed to stay awake and went to play on her tower but just zonked out flat on her side.

Merry Christmas to ALL the wonderful cats and cat owners I have had the pleasure of meeting and grooming so far and here's to many more.

I wish you all a safe and happy Christmas and a lovely New Year! 🍾
