Another recommendation for Joanne’s Dog and Cat Grooming in Portobello!
Simba has been going for years but it was Enid’s first ever professional groom today, no more tummy matts or dead hair for this beautiful girl! She was cuddled and adored throughout the whole process AND the team managed to keep her coat long and beautiful in the visible areas but trimming down the troublesome bits (tummy and under arm)!
Enid has been delighted all day 🖤
takes the most wonderful care of my cats and is taking on new clients! Go get your furballs pampered!

And here she is… Astrid. Hawk and Bears sister! 🖤🖤🖤👀

HAWK! Not even 6 months old and you’re already bigger than Wolf! He has a beautiful sister (Astrid) that is his absolute double and is still available!
If you were on the fence, take this as your cue. Your house definitely needs a kitten. For sure! A well rounded, happy, giant kitten 🤣🖤🤣
Happy Monday everyone. Now get tap tap tapping that message to 😻 because I cannot recommend them enough.

So proud of this little guy! This is him tonight, back to cleaning his own face, watching the birds and loving being part of the evening TV routine!
6 days ago I came home to him covered in drool and blood, having lost a whole canine. He was in so much pain, got rushed to the Emergency Vets who made him comfortable! I requested his notes today and at that appointment he was described as QAR (quiet, alert, responsive) followed by ‘lovely boy’! This little dude was obviously in so much pain and still, was a lovely boy for the vet!
Simba is one of my three rescue moggies, he had a truly awful start in life, suffered an aspiration pneumonia and STILL is a beautiful soul.
A lesson to us all. Be kind like Simba 🖤

If there was ever an image where I’d say the Whiskers were photoshopped… this would be it. But nope, I took the picture and can confirm these are indeed the real deal. Bruce, you are MAGNIFICENT 🖤

‘Soft eyes’ - the look that cats give you, often before a Slow Blink which as we all know, is a physical form of endearment in cat language! When cats look relaxed and have this ‘soft eyes’ expression, they feel safe and comfortable. Thankyou Roubles, we are honoured. Learn your cats body language for a happy home 🖤

Well would you look at that! You lucky folks of Stockport have another fabulous Pet Sitter and Dog Walker in the mix.
My big sister has joined the ‘best job in the world gang’ and started her own Pet Care Business.
It would mean the world if you could show her some support by following her page and passing on her details to people you know in the area 🖤

Mabel is new to the Animal Antics gang but WOW, someone got the memo about posing beautifully for photos!! Luckily it clearly just comes naturally to this gorgeous girl who also is a delight! Welcome Mabel 🖤

It’s official! It arrived. My medal for completing the 10K run at the end of May 🖤.
Thankyou SO much to everyone that sponsored me, I was totally blown away by your kindness and generosity.
If anyone would still like to donate, I’m keeping the page open for the weekend and then will close it on Monday. We’re SO near to hitting £1000 so every penny counts.
The link is in my Bio.
Thought I’d take the picture with one of my lovely rescues, Simba. He’s furious he’s being used for content but I will pay him in many Dreamies which should suffice 🤣🖤.
THANKYOU everyone x

Enid is looking particularly happy this morning because we are in the last few weeks of accepting new clients and we’ve loved how many joined us in April and having the chance to meet all the wonderful new cats! We would LOVE for more of you to join the Animal Antics family 🖤🤍🖤! Registrations will close by the end of May, ready for the busy Summer Season ahead and will reopen later in the year.
There is lots more information about pricing, areas we cover and what we do on our website - link in Bio.
Registrations can be done online via the ‘Clients Page’ and then you’ll receive an email to arrange a 121 introduction meeting with Ffi. This is where you can ask us heaps of questions, tailor the service to your cats needs and most importantly, make sure you and your cats feel comfortable with us!

There are some cats that are just the gentlest, kindest little beings! Peeps is exactly that! The fact that he is beautiful with whiskers for days is just an added bonus 🖤

‘Pass me a Meat Stick and a Dreamie would you, Ffi. I’m too comfy to move’. Cleo has been making the most of the sunny interludes this weekend 🖤

What a face! Murphy’s eyes, darker than many blue eyed cats but like staring into the ocean 💙

Don’t get me started on those beautiful little tufts of hair on the top of some cats ears, truly one of my favourite features 🖤. Known as ear tufts or Lynx tips, these are not only adorable but also actually serve a purpose. They protect the ear from debris falling into it AND help with their hearing by directly funnelling noise into the ear. Adding to the cats incredible hunting ability when locating and stalking prey!
Thankyou Matilda for giving us a perfect example here!

We tend to associate personality types more with Dog breeds and then think of cats as a generic all round ‘Cat’ personality! Nope!! The difference in breeds of cat is endlessly fascinating. Bengals are beautiful cats, notably distinctive markings stemming from their Asian Leopard Cat ancestry. These guys are HIGH energy, clever and sassy! If a Bengal is on your want list, be prepared to turn your house into a giant climbing frame and provide lots of enrichment for these guys 🖤. Spectacular little felines!

Meeting the Zoo AKA Animal Antics HQ!
Who’s in the spotlight today…….Wolf.
I know, I know. Enid gets the spotlight a lot! Well this is Wolf, sister to Moof. I got her brother, Moof, from Fife Cat Shelter and said I’d take Wolf for my mum. She was then with me for a number of weeks whilst plans were made for my mum to come from Wales to collect her. On the day she was due to leave, I cried so much that my mum left her with me and drove all the way back to Wales! (I’m not a cryer, weirdly so).
We’ve been inseparable ever since. She doesn’t really like other people, she thinks Enid’s a k**b and she sleeps next to me, every night as close as she possibly can and she stands up on her hind legs to greet me when I get home 🤣👏.
I adore her 🖤

It’s no secret that Ffion at Animal Antics has a soft spot for Maine C***s. With all this majestic beauty comes such a kind and loving temperament. They are known as the Gentle Giants of the cat world for good reason and Bob here is no exception.

Be more Burano. Step into Saturday with your best paw forward and looking majestic 🖤🤍 (Burano knows all his paws are fabulous but will allow the saying in this instance ☺️)

22/03/2024

There’s something just wonderful about black cats! They always have a smashing personality, are often really bright and just do the cat thing perfectly! The Master of cats 🖤

15/03/2024

Mika showing us all that good posture is the key to looking truly magnificent 🖤

25/02/2024

I’ve not bombarded you with pictures of Enid for ages, how terrible of me! All the kitty hooligans at Animal Antics HQ are doing brilliantly. I put some bird feeders up in the garden this weekend so the cats have very much enjoyed the view from their window seats 🖤

There isn’t a day goes by that I tire of looking at these beautiful faces! Lady V does happen to have a very wonderful one but don’t they all 🖤

01/02/2024

Coco, very proudly introducing me to the new family member. Finn!!! 🖤🖤 How adorable!

A long overdue recommendation post! cared for my hooligans when I went away in November! All the pictures are some of many beautiful and hilarious ones they sent when I was away.
My first three cats are all very nervous rescues, to say I’m amazed the lovely team got full interaction with them all is the understatement of 2023.
As you know I have reduced my working areas and some of you may have been affected. If you’re over towards me in the West then I would absolutely recommend you getting in touch with Jillian. If her team can manage my little monsters you know yours will be in good hands.
As a pet sitter of 10 years, it was hard to pick another sitter for mine. I made the right choice 🖤

26/12/2023

Be more Lucy. Find a lovely sunny spot whilst we have it and RELAX. I like this part of the year, time to plan and think about all the things we’d like to see happen in the year ahead.
Lucy is thinking about how to get more Dreamies than she had in 2023 🖤
