The actions or appearance of the tail can also tell us so much about the cat’s mood.
handsome radek
Although it’s only a few weeks since we last saw Radek in Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside, his coat was ready for the thorough brush out out again.
Radek is a 5 year old Persian and he has the most dense, long coat you can imagine. On previous occasions we have clipped away small areas of mats, but today we were able to tease out any small tangles we came across.
Radek is a big, gentle guy by nature. The session was long whilst we brushed away, and he lay patiently for the most part – just getting a bit fidgety a couple of times and then settled again. Well, we did tell him it’s tough being such a handsome guy with such a fine coat !
At the photo shoot, following the session, Radek was really intent on giving us side profiles …. Such a modest guy !

sweet rinoa
Meet Rinoa, a small Persian girl of around 8 months old.
This was Rinoa’s first professional groom, and she really got the hang of it from the start. It took her a matter of minutes to realise what was happening and Rinoa happily washed herself around her ruff, whilst we worked on the back quarters.
There were some areas that needed to be clipped away, and the rest of the coat was in need of a thorough brush out. Rinoa will definitely be feeling more comfy tonight !
Following the session, mum Laura from Liverpool, Merseyside said :
“I would just like to say how delighted I was with the service that Sandra gave to my 8 month old Persian cat, Rinoa. She has become very matted and tangled, and I was in a bit of a panic as to how I was going to resolve the problem. That’s when I Googled cat grooming, found Sandra and all her recommendations and called her right away. She was very confident that this problem could be resolved as it was something she deals with on a regular basis. I booked in with her ASAP, an…d could not be more happy with the results! She’s incredibly professional, and from the moment Rinoa met her she was at ease with her, which is rare as she’s not a fan of strangers. Sandra took her time an got to know her before even starting the session, then was incredibly caring and gentle with her throughout. Rinoa is now free from all her matts and tangles, and it back to being a happy little cat again. Thank you so much for all your hard work again Sandra, I honestly couldn’t be more grateful. Xo”
Result ! Really pleased that both Rinoa and mum are happy !!
did you know …?
Cats are superfecund (this is the fertilisation of two or more ova from the same cycle, from separate acts of mating)
This means that a female may mate with more than one male when she is in heat. This can result in different kittens in a litter having different fathers.
