young oscar

This handsome young man is called Oscar and he lives in Blackpool, Lancashire.  He is a Maine Coon, and just 10 months old.  True to his breed, Oscar is a little nervous of strangers – but highly inquisitive and he wanted to check out the gear we’d brought with us.

This was Oscar’s first professional grooming session and we’d been called in to work through his coat – removing a couple of small mats that had formed underneath, and brush him out.  Oscar likes being brushed by mum with the slicker brush, but found the longer session today with the comb a little past his normal attention span.  With his coat – as with all long haired cats – it is important he learns that grooming is part of his routine whilst he is still young.

Following the session, mum and dad Mel and Mark said :

“Thank you Sandra for a great session. Oscar is our 10 month old Maine Coon & had developed some stubborn matts in his fur that we couldn’t remove. Sandra did a great job at removing them & keeping him calm throughout. This was Oscar’s first grooming session & half way through Oscar decided he wasn’t a fan & his ‘stubbornness’ kicked in, but Sandra handled him fantastically. He now looks/feels lovely, with no more matts & we received some great tips from Sandra on how to keep them at bay. We would highly recommend EssentiallyPurrfect :)”

Well done Oscar.  Look forward to seeing you again…..

a room with a view …

What a great idea – to give an indoor cat a bit of outdoor space.

gentle hercules champion

We called again on 14 year old Maine Coon Hercules Champion, in Kirkham, Lancashire.

Hercules Champion doesn’t let his mum brush him, so we need to meet up regularly to keep on top of his coat.  He is now used to the sessions and will lay patiently whilst we brush out his left side, but he’s not as keen on the right.  Maybe he has some arthritis, or other reason for this which makes it uncomfortable for him.

He is such a handsome fellow.  Modest, but loves his photo being taken after the event !

See you again soon little chick …
