Beautiful Misty was in dire need of a good de-shed and brush out and her owner said she was feeling much better after her groom and a little pantaloon trim. I showed her owner the simple tools she would need to maintain her coat at home and how to use them too.
Despite the increasingly warmer weather the bathroom was lovely and cool and I was able to safely complete the groom whilst always bearing Misty’s welfare in mind at all times.
When we get this kind of heat I’m more than willing to come early to take advantage of the cooler mornings or reschedule for another day when it’s hopefully cooled down a bit!

Today has been a very sad day. One of my first clients called this evening to say that her beloved Scooby had crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈.
He was 17 and a beautiful soul. He leaves behind his housemate Tank and a bereft owner. As I say, today has been a day of great sadness.
Fly free little one, we’ll miss you very much.

👉 Cats shed around 4000 hairs every day. This is TRUE!
Cats are constantly shedding as each hair follicle will produce two or three hairs which grow, die and fall out to be immediately replaced by new ones. Without regular grooming this dead hair will eventually form into clumps. Often you may not even see them until it’s too late and your cat is matted. It’s vitally important to introduce your cat to regular grooming to prevent this uncomfortable and often painful situation from happening.

👉 The little fold at the edge of a cat’s ear is called Henry’s Pocket. This is TRUE!
Technically called a cutaneous marginal pouch, the Henry’s Pocket is the little pocket of skin at the outside base of a cat’s ears. It’s cute. It’s soft. And that’s about all we know for sure! Look out for my next post where I’ll delve deeper into this fascinating part of our beloved cats!

👉 Cats need to drink milk. This one is FALSE! Cow’s milk isn’t good for cats, and for a number of reasons. The most glaring is that, as cats mature, they often lose the enzyme needed to properly break down milk. These cats are typically referred to as “lactose intolerant,” a condition that occurs in people as well.
When these cats consume milk, it causes a significant amount of gastrointestinal upset that can lead to vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain.
But not all cats are lactose intolerant.
So, can some cats drink milk? The answer is still no. Cow’s milk has quite a lot of fat in it, and many (perhaps even most) cats are prone to obesity. Allowing cats to drink milk on a regular basis simply adds fats and sugars into their diet, causing it to become unbalanced and making it more likely that they will become overweight. A fresh supply of water is all a cat needs to drink. I’ll talk more about cats and their complex relationship with water in a later post so look out for that one too!

I’ve just received the very sad news that lovely boy Theo has passed over the rainbow bridge this morning .
They called a vet out to enable him to stay home and be with his family as he passed.
Theo was a venerable and adorable guy, always ready with a purr and a head rub.
I know his family will miss him very much and so too will I.
Run free beautiful boy, I feel lucky to have been able to help you. 🐈‍⬛🐾

🐈‍⬛ Pet Remembrance Day is coming up this weekend.
This is our beautiful girl Oracle. We rescued her and her brother Ceefax as tiny kittens when we were living in Spain many years ago now. We were able to bring them with us when we returned to the UK and were blessed with many more wonderful years together. I’m remembering her today, tell me about your beloved friends and let’s celebrate them with some gorgeous photos 🐾.

Come and meet a selection of the gorgeous cats I’ve visited recently.

From top left : Aurora. A gorgeous Ragdoll on my regular grooming program. She had been booked for a wet bath & dry but I decided on a scorching morning that it was far too hot to subject her to blow drying! As a mobile groomer working in people’s homes I need to be flexible in this way and adjust my plans to suit the current situation on the day.

Next is beautiful senior lady Sapphire who needed my help as she had become uncomfortably matted. Her Mum told me that evening that she was feeling much more comfy and was stretched out in the sunshine relaxing.

Top right is Millie. She enjoyed a lovely brush out and de-shed and really enjoyed being sidetracked by some of her favourite treats. Look at her little blep! How sweet is she?

Beautiful Siberian Juno had gotten into a right pickle with lots of tiny mats and knots. She has a mammoth coat but we got there in the end and her owners have booked her into my regular No Knots program to maintain all that fur and take advantage of the discount that comes with regular bookings.

Last but not least meet Sullivan. This stunning Maine C**n has a real aversion to car travel, drooling heavily, and this combined with a naturally anxious nature led his owners to seeking my help in the hope that being groomed at home would cause him less anxiety. We split the groom into two visits to keep the sessions short and avoid undue stress in the extremely hot weather. Sully did really well and I was able to clip out all those tightly matted areas and give him a good comb through to help him feel more comfortable. He was much happier sitting on the floor with me so I left the grooming table in the car and together we enjoyed the cool breeze flowing under the door!
Just like all my kitty clients these cats are special, loved and treasured in equal measure and it’s my honour to be able to help each one live a more comfortable life.

One year old Molly is a perfect example of why introducing grooming at a young age is a great idea! Despite being a naturally shy little lady she’s had the chance to become accustomed to my regular grooming visits since she was a kitten. This means that she’s comfortable on my grooming table and knows our routine. You can clearly see, and hear, how comfortable she is! SOUND ON TO HEAR HER PURR!
I first met Molly’s owner when she booked me to come and help with her 19 year old Tortie girl Poppy. Some time after this gorgeous cat crossed the rainbow bridge I heard from her owner that the family had felt their house seemed so empty without Poppy and they wanted to introduce me to Molly.
This continuity of care means the world to me. Our grooming relationship goes on, and Molly benefits hugely from our sessions……and so do I.

So many owners struggle to groom their cats. It’s generally a combination of their being worried they’re going to hurt or upset the animal and also a real lack of accurate information available to them.

As well as grooming their cats I feel it’s really important to educate not shame owners. I’ve lost count of the number of distraught people telling me how guilty they feel that they’ve let their cats get into such a mess. 99 times out of 100 people just don’t know any better. They go onto their search engine and see a ton of brushes and de-matting tools ( the steam brush is a personal favourite of mine….NOT!) and read about how effective these are and that they’ll change the world with regard to grooming their cat.
How are owners supposed to know any different when that is what’s available at their fingertips ?
I make a point of reassuring every owner I work with. I believe teaching them how to use a couple of simple, affordable and effective tools to maintain their cat’s coat between visits is a vital part of my job. I will explain why “cutting” or “trimming” the coat ( something lots of people ask for, only because they don’t know what works best for the cat) will damage the hair growth over time and offer alternatives which will help them to keep their cat looking gorgeous and easier to manage at home too.

Each new client I welcome to the Cuttycrumb gang is one more owner that now knows how to groom their cat and maybe they’ll even pass that knowledge on. Surely this can only benefit our cats 🐈‍⬛🐾.

PLEASE SHARE TO RAISE AWARENESS!
I’m re-posting this today as it’s been increasingly hot over the last few days and I wanted to get this information back out there.
This knows so important and I’m really keen to educate as many owners as possible that shaving their cats in summer is NOT the answer.
I say again….a cat with a clipped coat may well overheat as their fur has been designed to regulate their body temperature in both cold and hot weather. The only reason for clipping a cat’s coat is to safely remove mats and pelts or to provide a hygienic clip for a furry bottom!
Just remember to provide lots of cool, shady areas for your cat to tuck themselves into and always have plenty of cool, fresh water available for them to drink.
Why not try a couple of ice cubes in their bowl or water fountain? Or maybe pop some liquid cat treats into ice cubes and offer them as a treat? Even keeping these liquid treats in the fridge is a nice way to offer a cool treat.

Let’s get the word out there and keep our cats cool and comfortable this summer in a way that puts their welfare first 🐈‍⬛🐾.

Now we’re heading into the warmer weather I hear a lot of potential customers say this. Others have been advised that this is necessary to keep their long haired cat from overheating.

Let’s dive a bit deeper into the true function of a cat’s coat. We need to understand first and foremost that it is not a winter jacket to be removed when it warms up and put back on when it becomes chilly again.

The cat has three distinct layers of fur-the outer guard hairs, the middle layer, called the awn hairs, and the downy soft under coat which is usually wavy or crimped. These layers along, with the skin of the cat, are designed to regulate body temperature. They trap a layer of air next to the skin which enables the cat to keep warm in winter but, equally effectively, remain cool in the summer.

Shaving the coat to the skin in an effort to “ keep the cat cool” can actually cause the cat to overheat as they lose their innate ability to regulate their body temperature and can also affect the hair’s regrowth over time due to structural changes. The hair contributes to a heightened sense of touch, conveying sensory information and helping them react to their environment. The loss of this sense can also cause a cat to become anxious or disoriented.

It’s important to be aware that once a cat becomes matted or pelted there is no other option but to shave those areas safely by engaging the services of a professional feline groomer. The pain and skin damage that these mats can cause outweighs the downsides of shaving in this instance.
Keeping your cat on a regular grooming schedule with a qualified groomer and grooming at home yourselves in between visits will ensure not only that your cat stays mat free, healthy and happy but encourages bonding between you and your cat. Keep your grooms short and sweet with treats as a reward, gradually encouraging your cat to enjoy the process.
