Tori came in this past weekend to get all dolled up! This gorgeous red tabby Maine C**n has a stellar coat. While she can be a smidge grumpy for her groom she does let us get through it all. Look at that fantastic tabby marking!

Look at this gorgeous big boy! He's a Norwegian forest cat mix and while he's still under a year old... don't let his age fool you! He's already soooo long and tall! He's going to have a good amount of fluff too!

While he's all kitten coat still, his tail, pants, and chest are starting to fill out more. Did you know it can take a full 2 years for some of the forest cat breeds to grow into their adult coats? And up to 4 to be full grown?

He's already so regal, can you imagine what he'll be like in another couple years time!

Look at this FLOOF! I swear when you get her wet, she's half the size! lol She really is all fluff.

This sweet girl came in last year for her first spa day... she was admittedly a bit spicy towards the process, but really it was all fear based and she didn't need to worry at all with me taking care of her.

This week she came in for her 5th groom and she has settled into the process well. She's calmed for all parts of this, doesn't throw any fits, and while I haven't convinced her we are best friends yet- we are getting there!

I know lots of folks have been expressing anxiety and are a bit unsure of what to do with this new bird flu virus and how it's going to play out especially with our kitty friends.

Weirdly, this is exactly my field of expertise! Biologist, ecology, and cats!!! So I wrote up an article for our blog to help give folks real tangible solutions on how to keep their cats safe right now.

Please feel free to share this article far and wide so we can keep kitties safe all over the place!

Midge came in for a groom while it took what felt like a million photos to get a decent one, and her face look absolutely displeased in 99% of these.... she actually was a pretty sweet cat for her groom!

She was super wiggly and struggled with her legs being worked on. Believe it or not, she's standing in these photos! That's her at full height! She's a minuet (mix of Persian and Munchkin, resulting in dwarfism).

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 C**n/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.
