Afternoon nap time. Keep your cats warm and happy this winter ❄️
and offer help to the ones that are not so lucky.
Volunteer your time to a rescue, donate funds to a rescue so they can help make a difference. Provide outdoor shelter for a stray. The cost of one less present could make a huge difference to the comfort of the less fortunate animals suffering from cold, hunger, illness, pain
Whether it's a cat , dog or wildlife rescue.... LETS MAKE A DIFFERENCE this year.

Mobile Cat Grooming
This elderly gentleman (18) is no longer able to groom himself, so
gets matted easily.
Due to his age he is very sensitive to combing( it hurts) and he gets stressed and tired quickly, so I clip out the worst and gently comb/ brush out the rest, keeping as much coat as possible. Each cat is different and I make a decision on the cats tolerance, health and environment.
Thankfully his owner wants just what's best for him - comfort over looks 😺 ❤️ and he's still a lovely handsome boy.

An absolute beauty inside and out . She doesn't love a groom , but tolerates it very well.
She has been diagnosed with a heart murmur, so extra gentle with her ❤️
I believe grooming is always aimed with the cats best interest at heart, so always aim for comfort with as little stress as possible.

This lovely boy has a regular groom.
Some cats ( depending on breed, lifestyle,age) may need regular grooming. Others may just need the one off or occasional groom.
Every cat is different in the needs so happy to just be here when needed.
Healthy comfy cats.

Unfortunately, sometimes a cat's coat can become matted beyond reversal. They may look ok but when touching, you will notice lumpy thickened areas and you will not be able to get a comb through it.
This can be pretty uncomfortable and limit the cats movement and cause other health issues.
It can also be a great place for fleas to hide from any flea treatment.
There are many reasons why this may happen.
Could be age, illness, injury anxiety, just a build up over time or they may just be bad self groomers.
The best solution is to clip the matting off and then consider how to manage going forward.
For some cats it may just be a one off clip and groom. For others it may mean regular help going forward.
We just do what's best for said cats welfare- always her for help and advice 😺 ❤️

It breaks my heart to think of any animal out there in this cold . In the wilderness there's more opportunities to bury or shelter in their natural environment.
In our built up concrete towns, less opportunities.
This is a great way to help unfortunate stays/ neglected pets.
Just because they have fur doesn't mean they are warm.

It's definitely getting cold now, so if you are looking after outside cats, it's time to help them stay warm!

The ideal of course would be to allow cats indoors during colder periods. However, this may not be possible with non-domestic cats.

To help outdoor cats keep warm, you should provide them with a water resistant shelter ideally in an area protected from wind and rain.

🐾 Raise them up off the ground so they don't get damp.
🐾 Use straw (NOT HAY) to provide an insulated bed.
🐾 Silver emergency blankets will also add some insulation placed underneath the straw.
🐾 Do not use blankets which will also quickly become damp and cold.
🐾 Keep the shelter away from areas where there is a lot of foot traffic.
🐾 The shelter should be easy to exit if the cat gets frightened.
🐾 Don't make it too big, a smaller shelter will allow the cat to use its own body heat in the smaller space to keep warm.

It's also important to ensure cats have fresh water and lots of dry food to fuel up on. Ensure the food and water is in a sheltered, dry, quiet area, especially for unsocial cats who are unlikely to use a shelter or eat in a space where they don't feel safe.

We replace the straw in all our outdoor beds regularly, except in Sunshine's day bed because she has her favourite cushion in there 😻

A beautiful rescue girl who had got a few clumpy knots in her coat.
She is a nervous little girl and definitely favours a male presence, but she coped really well. All clumps and excess fluff removed.
Now that she's happy in a loving home, hopefully she will keep up the self grooming, but I'm always here if she needs assistance.

Some fluffs love a fluff bed.
Orla loves to bury under the duvet so I knew she'd love this warm matchbox fluff bed. Good ol Temu

Thank you to my lovely customer Paulene who donated this cat tree to the Greek kittens. They were enjoying it before it was even up.

When it comes to grooming, every cat's needs are different and every cat's tolerance level is different .
Please don't be disappointed if the pile of hair is less than expected or embarrassed if there's a huge pile .
There's no judgement or reflection on your care for them, just different coats types and different circumstances.
And most importantly, don't get angry with your cat or apologise if they are over dramatic/reactive.
It can be scary for them being groomed by a stranger so keep calm and don't worry. You staying close by can help with their confidence.
It's all done with love and care.

Mobile Cat Grooming -the holistic way
This is my own Shumba. He's 15 now and the reason I started grooming- he needed help with armpit and back leg matts and excess loose fluff.
He's now just groomed every now and then to keep his coat healthy, knott free and keeping down the excess loose hair.
Every cat is different in their grooming needs and I like to treat them as such. The important goal is to keep them healthy and happy with as little stress as possible.
When I get asked how often a cat needs grooming , it depends, type of coat, age, health, lifestyle , how much they're doing themselves.

The holistic way 😺 ❤️
My grooming is always focused on what's best for the cat.
This is determined by what's needed for them to be comfortable and healthy going forward, their age, ability to self groom, environment, stress, present health conditions and lots of other things.
That's why it's hard for me to say what will be done before I see and meet your cat.
This lovely man had some matting to remove and a good defluff.
He wasn't over enthusiastic, but seemed to understand that I was helping with the tight uncomfortable bits

Mobile Cat Grooming
This was the first professional groom for this beautiful 4 year old maincoone . His Guardian is doing a fantastic job grooming him (and his gorgeous sister of the same age.)
A few areas are not so easy to get to , due to ticklish/ sensitive areas.
I'm often asked "how often should I get my cat groomed?"
It all depends on how much you are able to groom them, how much they are maintaining themselves, type of cat, their age, lifestyle.
I like to see myself a their grooming assistant when needed. We don't want to totally take over their job, just make it pleasant and manageable - look how happy and relaxed your cat looks when they're grooming themselves and each other. It's a way of destroying and chilling.
Happy , healthy cats

Mobile Cat Grooming
So hard to photograph a cat having fun on catnip
This lovely boy has a professional groom on average 3 times a year.
His coat is looking amazing and only a little pile of fluff going into winter.
No knotts . Just a defluff with a rotating moulting comb and and little trim round his collar , which tends to get in the way when eating and drinking.
The cat's temperament needs to be considered when using scissors to trim around the neck or other areas
If they are very reactive it's not worth the risk of injury.
All grooming is aimed at their comfort and health. If it causes more stress than benefit, it's not worth doing
Happy, healthy kitties
