In honor of Pet Diabetes Month, it’s the perfect time to focus on recognizing the early signs of feline diabetes. Subtle changes in appetite, weight, or drinking habits can easily go unnoticed, but early detection makes a big difference in outcomes for cats.

Check out this blog for guidance you can share with clients to help their cats stay healthy, happy, and thriving.

Been seeing the lovely Daniels for a while now, the first meet being a lion trim 🦁(yup, all off!) That was because she had a matted coat.

She’s an older gal and has some delicate issues that come with age. She knows she’s boss, but is very good throughout her grooms, just telling me what she prefers where and when. True Queen 👑 🐱

Today, was another full spa day for her, as her coat gets very thick with dandruff, shedding hair and excess natural oils. This contributes to the matting and thus occasional baths with regular maintenance grooms help keep them at bay. She had a degreasing treatment, blueberry and oatmeal facial cleansing, soothing dry skin shampoo and herbal cleanser. Had to make it a Power Pamper to keep the effects for as long as possible, as we don’t want to make baths regular with her age and health issues.

This gal is so lucky to have amazing owners who care so deeply for her. 💖 She’s got the most adorable face and now the freshest, softest, shiniest coat. No more toilet residue and no more knots.

🍕 🎥 💤 Ready for a chilled Friday on the couch hey Daniels? 😺

🥇 Most popular request GOES TO….. “sanitary trim!”

🪮 ✂️ Yes, a little tidy up around the back end can be very beneficial for kitty (and you). It can help keep things clear so ‘toilet time’ doesn’t end up hanging around ‘all the time’ 💩 It also helps keep that thick cotton-candy bottom hair tangle-free and easier for you to try comb through (permission from kitty required 😉).

🍂 🐌 🌷 For outdoor cats keeping tidy at the back by trimming down the pants or trousers or “britches” (as they’re called), can help prevent matts forming by stopping too much hair getting tangled up from environmental debris, like flowers, slugs, twigs, sticky balls or anything else in the wilds! (I had my finger pricked by a thorn stem in disguise- 🥸 hiding sneakily in the brush of a cat’s tail, and just think kitty was sitting on that and we couldn’t even see it)

So, book a Full Groom for your mini sanitary and trim up to banish the brambles from your kitty’s b***y!

🎆 did you know there are some displays that are called “silent”? They’re not completely noise-free but they may offer a slight alternative to the traditional bangs and booms of Guy Fawkes night. There’s even light displays put to music, which are equally incredible.

Pet owners, you may wish to stay home with your pets for reassurance that they’re safe, if they are frightened by the event.

If you’re following and not a pet owner, perhaps seek out alternative displays to encourage animal-safe fun with less impact on our furry (and also not so furry) folk.

Happy celebrations everyone! 🍭🍂🪵🔥🔦

Really insightful read. 📖 🧐

The major take away from it, is that cats are individuals where personal experiences shape behaviours, most crucially early (alongside individual genetics). Personality typing is not as widely understood in cats, and as always was first developed in their canine buddies 🐶, but behavioural studies are coming a long way, and a new perspective on how we see cats is pivotal in creating optimal wellbeing in our homes. So let’s discard any usual labels for moggies; they are very much a well bonded, loyal species with their own particularities. Cat love 🫶🏻 🐾 🐈‍⬛

Male cats are silly and loving, female cats are aloof and mean – or so TikTok claims. Vets explain why gender barely affects cat personality and what does.
