โœจ Today, we light a candle for Milo ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธโค๏ธ

Milo came to us as a survivor of a hoarding caseโ€” a resilient, loving soul who deserved all the care and kindness the world could offer. Over the years, his dad took the time to socialize him and gain his trust... so patiently and with such great love. This past year we opened our soothing Sunday program up to him and with his regular attendance we saw huge strides in his comfort level around our team. A testament to how amazingly resilient and smart cats are. And he genuinely grew into such a beloved part of our Sweet Whiskers family, always bringing a little grump with a lot of joy with his gentle spirit. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’”

Tomorrow will be the first time we will groom his brother without him by his side. ๐Ÿ˜ญ Milo's sudden passing leaves a hole in our hearts, but we are so grateful for the love his family gave him and the chance to be part of his journey.

Rest easy, sweet Milo. You were so loved. ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿพ

Look at this big boy!!!

Can you believe this not so little guy isn't even full grown yet, he's barely a year and stretches nearly the entire length of my table from nose to tail tip already!! He's a Maine Coon/Himalayan mix and has the coat to prove it!

He's probably got the worse combination of cottony undercoat and sheer fluff from his genetics, but his personality is amazing! This boy is in the middle of coat change from kitten to adult coat, heavily furred as it is, but thankfully was super patient with me for both his first and second grooms.

๐ŸŒŸ Meet Suki! ๐ŸŒŸ

This sweet girl did amazing today during her grooming session. While she was a bit nervous at first (new experiences can be overwhelming!), she showed incredible bravery and warmed up beautifully as the process went on. ๐Ÿพ

Weโ€™re so proud of how far she came todayโ€”each step was met with curiosity and trust. ๐Ÿ’• Thank you, Suki, for being such a wonderful guest at Sweet Whiskers!

Patience and gentle handling can go a long way in helping cats feel more comfortable with grooming. ๐Ÿฑ

Cats benefit from professional grooming too! Even though theyโ€™re great at self-preening behaviors, there are many things only a professional groom can do to keep them feeling their best!

๐Ÿฑ๐‘๐ž๐๐ฎ๐œ๐ž ๐’๐ก๐ž๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ : Even short-haired cats shed, and professional grooming helps reduce that by removing loose fur before it ends up on your furniture (or in hairballs!).

๐Ÿฑ๐๐ซ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐Œ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ : Mats arenโ€™t just uncomfortable; they can lead to skin irritation, flea hideouts, even fungal or bacterial infection. Regular grooming helps prevent mats from forming and keeps the skin breathing well.

๐Ÿฑ๐’๐ฉ๐จ๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐‡๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก ๐ˆ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ž๐ฌ ๐„๐š๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฒ: During grooming, we often spot things like small lumps, skin conditions, or ear issues. Early detection is key to keeping your kitty healthy!

๐Ÿฑ๐Š๐ž๐ž๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐๐š๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐๐š๐ข๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐’๐ก๐š๐ฉ๐ž: Many cats develop thick, or overgrown nails which can become uncomfortable without regular trimming, and can make walking painful or even cause damage to their pads.

๐Ÿฑ๐‹๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐’๐ญ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐‚๐š๐ญ (๐š๐ง๐ ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ!): A calm, regular grooming schedule helps cats stay familiar with the process, making it less stressful over time.
