sophie and chloe

We called on these 2 chicks in Knutsford, Cheshire once again for their maintenance grooms.

Both Sophie (a Blue Silver Spotted British Short Hair) and Chloe (Blue and White Persian) are well used to their sessions now, and know just what to expect.  Both girls are around 16-17 years old, and like to take life a bit easier these days.

Sophie’s coat is short, but extremely dense and becomes clumpy if she isn’t brushed out regularly.  Chloe, being a Persian, has a long thick coat.  Mum Dorothy is able to brush Chloe on top, but underneath and around the back legs is a bit more difficult as Chloe’s not that keen on being touched around those areas.

Well done girls … See you again soon ….

hurry … book now !

Our May 14 diary is filling up so quickly …

We’ll be checking in with some existing customers anyway, around the start of May. However, if you see this message first and will need a maintenance appointment during May, please get in touch to schedule in sooner rather than later … then you’ll be smiling all the way, like Jasper here !   

cheeky monkey

It was so nice to meet up with Monkey again in Clitheroe, Lancashire.

We last saw him during the Autumn which he needed help with removal of mats around his lower body.  Since then, mum and Monkey have been able to well keep on top of  his coat.  Regular brushing sessions have kept the mats at bay.

Monkey is such a sweet boy and came and greeted us like an old friend.  He obviously remembered the last session and settled immediately on the table.  One or two swear words at times, maybe ? – but quite chilled, obliging with the positioning of his limbs, and even purring at times.

After the session he kept popping back into the room where we’d held the session – just checking we were on track with clearing up and seeing if we needed any help !

Following the session, mum Sue said :

“Thank you for coming again to comb through Monkey’s fur.  I’m sure he remembered you from your first visit seven months ago.  He was much more relaxed this time and actually (apart from a bit of growling!) seemed to enjoy it.  He has been very pleased with himself since !  He is grooming himself more and seems very content.  His fur grows so long and thickly that it is hard for us both to keep up with it, but I’ve been amazed at the difference that your grooming makes !  Thank you so much !  See you again in the autumn !”

Keep up the good work guys and see you again later in the year for an Autumn brush out.

tiny vera

Who remembers little Vera ?

Vera is a 3 year old Black Smoke Siberian who lives in Manchester.

Vera was as friendly as ever when we met up again with her this time around.  We’d been called in again to meet up because she had developed some matted areas around her body, which were in need of being clipped away.

She was quite fidgety for most of the session – Vera isn’t too keen on being groomed at the best of times – but interspersed with moments of peace !

Well done Vera.  We’re sure you’ll feel much comfier with your new little bod !

is yours a typist ?

Every time we leave the laptop unattended for a few minutes, when we return to is it’s either in Flight Mode, or some little feet has been trying to access an obscure website (like this one on the right !).

Will have to start closing the lid down, so little paws can’t walk all over the keyboard !

Do yours type too ?

What is the weirdest / funniest thing they have written ….?   Come over to our facebook page and tell us !

lovely merlin

This handsome young man is 18 month old Merlin.  Merlin is a Tabby Maine Coon who lives in Abram, Wigan, Greater Manchester.

We called in to see Merlin as his coat had become thick and in need of a good brush out, with a couple of small tangles that needed to be removed.

Merlin – Well, what can we say.  Such a mild mannered, gentle, friendly young man.  He was inquisitive around our gear and helped somewhat with the set-up.  He’s not had a professional groom before and it took him a good while to settle into the session.  However, once there, we think he really began to enjoy it !  He had his head laid on the table, purring away whilst we brushed (we had done the naughty bits – tummy/flanks/back end – by this point) and nearing the end of the session he actually licked our fingers.  A thank you !

Afterwards, Merlin went to top up at the filling station, then out for a wander in the garden.

Following the session, mum Leanne told us :

“Thank you so much for Merlin’s groom on Saturday. A large Maine Coon boy, he’s not the most patient cat and really appreciate the time and effort involved. He looks fab and obviously feels much better as a result.”

Nice to meet you Merlin – Such a good boy …. !

do you need more ?

Hands up if you can relate to this ?!

Why not pop over to our facebook page and tell us all about it !!

lovely tilly

Remember Tilly ?

Tilly is a really sweet, 7 years old, Norwegian Forest Cat who lives in Davenham, Cheshire.

We met up with Tilly for a brush out.  Her coat is in good condition as she looks after it well, and mum is able to comb her.  Not a knot in sight and Tilly lay patiently whilst we worked through her coat.

Look at those lovely tufts under her pads.  Love them !

Such a good girl, Tilly !  Well done !

gorgeous mylo

Mylo is a 2 year old Ragdoll who lives in Sharston, Manchester – and is brother to Diego.

Mylo has the most gorgeous coat, as mum is able to comb him through regularly.   He just needed a little help with a brush out and thinning out his trousers.

It’s fair to say that Mylo would have rather been doing his usual Thursday activity – whatever that is – rather than being sat on the grooming table.   However, he did well and after the session, looked even more gorgeous.

After the session, mum Lynn said :

“Thank you so much for trimming and grooming my ragdolls Diego and Mylo today, amazing job! Especially Diego’s lion cut he looks fab!”

[Diego’s piccies are posted separately]

After the session Mylo went straight off to catch up on that all important sleep he’d missed out on …  Nice to meet you Mylo !
