Norbert 😻 handsome (ear tufts ☺️), gentlemanly and a real treat to groom….he had a thorough groom out, good sani trim, claw clip and not a single grumble about it!! 😇

I also had the added bonus of meeting his two foster brothers Norris and Murphy. 🐾🐾

Just a quick hop on to highlight the importance of maintenance grooms and coat matting, especially during the summer months! 😎

Regular grooms are the best way to prevent this;

🐾remove old undercoat prone to matting
🐾the cats skin can breathe, reducing overheating
🐾air circulation is improved
🐾distributes natural oils
🐾allows the coat to regulate temperature

My only option is to clip the mats away. I don’t shave cats to keep them cool…a well maintained coat does this naturally ☺️🐾🐈🐈‍⬛

Today I met Treacle; beautiful and fiesty…she certainly gave me a run for my money, but her first visit has taught me alot about the best way forward for her.

She has a very short grooming window, prefers minimal handling with a welfare based approach and full use protective equipment (preferably a suit of armour 🫢)

Until next time little lady! 😸

Esther, she’s small, but mighty 💪🏼

Going forward I suggested a comb/teddy cut for her.

I think she looks very cute, but her coat is also more manageable for her and her “paw-rents”. 🐾 little cutie 🥰 I may take it shorter next time, just see how she goes…she’s a bit of a handful and her grooming window is small.

My Delilah feeling “summer ready” with her 🩴 ! (She has always had a thing for shoes and slides her little paws in ☺️)

Appointments available from 22/7 for your kitty to feel as 😎 as Delilah!

Grooming to remove old undercoat is the best way for their skin to “breathe” and control temperatures in the heat of summer.

Keeping your cat cool! 👌

Look at beautiful Star ⭐️ (aka Malcolm) and his blue eyes 🩵🥰

A few uncomfortable mats removed and a full dry groom. As he’s an older boy, he’s struggling a little with those “hard to reach” areas!

Also today was one of my “main men” Snuggles…he’d been unwell recently so was a bit overdue for his regular groom….but is feeling much better now. ☺️

He was a little spicy 🌶️ , but has gone home a lot less “lumpy”!! 👌

Tee hee 😝…tongue-out Tuesday and photo dump of these girls!! They are so pretty 🤩

Long haired Scottish Fold Esther was not impressed by her grooming session today…feeling a bit fiesty!

Edna (short hair) arrived for the treats😋 (girl after my own heart)

Today is not the first time I’ve sent a cat home…nor will it probably be the last.

I always want to help the cats feel good and coat maintenance is a big part of this. However, I always gauge their health/welfare/reaction during a groom and make a call that’s best for the cat.

I know I would want my cat to feel safe, comfortable and secure…☺️🐾

My offered solution will always be based on the cats best interests…I will happily “change things up” to make them feel at ease. 🤗

Percy wasn’t entirely sure about his first groom…but he soon got the hang of it and was the perfect gentleman.

Claw clip ✔️
Eye/ear clean ✔️
Sani reduction ✔️
Dry groom out ✔️
Toe bean trim ✔️

Even relaxed enough to show off his super primordial pouch….☺️🐾

A lovely morning…firstly Snowbell popped in for her maintenance groom (no pic today!) and met Oscar for the first time! 😻

He is the epitomy of a placid temperament and had a full groom out (forgot to take the “the fluff” pic 🤦‍♀️)

Scottish folds…beautiful girls! Claw clips all round and good dematt for Miss Esther (long hair). I think Miss Edna (short hair) was secretly glad she was not in the queue for a haircut today. 🫣 😊🐾

Winnie is only a baby, so it’s a great time to get her used to water and grooms 👌🐾

Long post alert! 😬

Check out my “fluke” first pic…this is not a sleeping kitty, but the dead undercoat removed by a dry, deshed groom.

A spring 🌿🌱🍃 spruce up is great for removing old winter coat.

Thought it might be a good opportunity to explain a little of what I do 🐾

This cat is a regular visitor 😊 and although she’s not keen, at least she won’t be ingesting all that fur nor leaving it all over the 🏡

Yes..cats do groom themselves, but for various reasons they don’t always get it all out.

This is how matting can start and why I sometimes have to shave cats…I can’t just “brush it out”. Maintenance is always the best way forward.

I use specific equipment and handling (no harnesses) along with a welfare based approach for kitty comfort. I treat each cat individually based on their coat, handling tolerance, grooming and any health issues.

When your cat is with me I can also check claws (I’ve seen many painful, ingrown toe beans 😖) ears/eyes, skin issues and overall health. (I’m not a vet and will always suggest a visit to them if neccessary).

If you’ve read this far I’d really appreciate a little follow, like, share or (if I’ve groomed your cat) a review…it would really make a big difference to small business. 🙏
