april and macy

We were really happy to call on these 2 ladies again in Manchester.  Both around 2 years old, both Maine Coons.

Macy (on the right) is the more outgoing of the pair.  Very playful and nosey with it !  Macy settled well on the table whilst we worked on those harder to reach areas.

April (left) is by far the larger of the 2 and a little more cautious than Macy.  It was nice that she chose to examine our equipment when we arrived !  April let us clip her nails without batting an eyelid, then was very amenable to positioning on the table.

It was obvious that April remembered the last session as she settled  immediately.  Macy helps April out, by grooming her and no doubt cleaning her ears – as they were perfect !

It was so nice to see both their coats in such good condition.

Well done girls !

beautiful mia

Mia is a 4 years old Blue Persian, who found her mum and dad a few months ago – and has landed on her feet !

Mia’s coat is extremely full, and was in need of a good brush out to remove lots of dead undercoat.  Under her tummy needed work, as this is an area that Mia doesn’t really like mum touching.  She is such a friendly girl and lapped up mum’s attention after the session.

A couple of days after the session, mum Alison from Nantwich, Cheshire said :

“Mia had her first ever professional groom on Friday by the lovely Sandra. Mia also had her claws clipped and her eyes & ears cleaned, she felt like a new kitty after and had a mad half an hour running round the house. Sandra was so good, Mia didn’t get stressed out which was great! I would definitely recommend Sandra and I’ll be using her services again.
Big thank you from Mia x”

Look at that face ! – Do you think she knows she’s gorgeous ?!

pretty poppy

Poppy, a beautiful 9 years old lady from Padiham, Lancashire happily let us call again to clip her nails.  Mum Jackie knew it was time for a trim as they could be heard on the wooden floor.  It sounded like Poppy had her high heels on !

Although Poppy is quite an anxious girl, just like our last visit, she took the session totally in her stride – without batting an eyelid.  We think she know just what it was all about !

Well done Poppy – see you again soon …

chloe and sophie

Say Hi to two of our favourite girls – Chloe and Sophie from Knutsford, Cheshire.

Both around 15 years old, they gave us a call as they were due their maintenance groom.  Although it’s only a matter of weeks since our last visit, their coats were thick once again and ready for a good brush out.   Sophie’s coat is short, but very dense – whilst Chloe’s is long and fluffy.

Any idea of their breeds ?  Why not come over to our facebook page and have a guess ….  (mum Dorothy, I’m afraid you’re not eligible to take part in this little guessing game !)

illy and milo

We called on these 2 handsome Siamese boys in Oswaldtwistle, Lancs to trim their nails.

Illy (left) and Milo are very friendly chaps, but it’s fair to say they are not too keen on the nail trimming process.  However, they faired well – a definite improvement on the last session.  Each visit will become a little easier for them.

So well done Illy and Milo !  You were really brave boys, and we’ll see you again soon.

betsy boo

We called on this 3 year old chick, to take a look at her coat.  Betsy Boo has been with her mum and dad for a couple of years, and from the stories we heard about her, she’s a right little character.  She even has her own Facebook page !

Mum does brush Betsy, but we don’t think she’s been professionally groomed before.  It’s fair to say that she really didn’t care for having her nails clipped – Betsy would have rather been somewhere else, with someone else !  However, we moved on and after we had then clipped away the first tight mat from under the armpit, Betsy began to settle and resigned herself to the session somewhat.  As the session went on, we think she realised it wasn’t that bad … and maybe she even wondered what all the fuss had been about !    Or maybe (as she is renowned for being an escape artist extraordinaire) she was miffed that she hadn’t been able to outdo us, and leave the table !

After the session, mum Jill from Wythenshawe, Manchester said :

“Betsy is a very happy little girl right now! Giving lots of cuddles so I think she’s pleased!!!!  Thanks for being so patient with her! You are fabulous!”

You look lovely, Betsy Boo …  Glad you’re feeling more comfy with your coat !

figment of the imagination

This little lass is going on for 21 years old !  That’s right.  21 years old !

Figment is a Persian Cross, and she needed some help with mats that had formed – particularly about her back, bum and lower body.  The mats were very close to the skin and Figment did really well whilst we clipped away.   She will feel so much more comfortable now.

Later, mum Christine and dad Andy from Bolton, Greater Manchester told us :

“Hi Sandra, thank you so much for your wonderful grooming service. You showed so much care to our very matted 20 year old cat and treated her as if she was one of your own. She is like a spring chicken now she is free of knots. xx”

Well done Figment … So glad you called us in !

timid tomas

We’ve recently visited one of our favourite chaps, Tomas – who is 12 years old and lives in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire.

Quite a timid boy, but he obviously remembered the last session and was much more settled this time around.  The hair that we’d clipped away at the last visit was well on it’s way to growing back and his coat was in a lovely condition, as Tomas lets his mum brush him.

We think that the cat relaxation music we played helped to chill a little. Tomas had his eyes closed during parts of the session whilst we were brushing, and looked like he was almost dropping off.

Well done Tomas – it was lovely seeing you again, and looking forward to next time already !

Can you guess what breed of cat Tomas is ?  Why don’t you come over to our facebook page and tell us what you think … (mum Jo – sorry, you can’t enter this one).
