lovely chanel
We called in to see 15 year old Chanel from Wigan, Greater Manchester recently. Who remembers this lovely lady ?
Our first session was around Sep last year. Chanel’s coat had become tufty and matted in places so we took away a large part of it for a fresh start.
Today, that fresh start had worked a treat ! Chanel’s coat was growing back very nicely and was ready for a brush out. The undercarriage was quite thick, and her shoulders and legs were beginning to get a littleclumpy – but we were able to brush out without too much fuss.
Chanel told us a right tale throughout the session though and afterwards – oh, she was full of it … Unlike last time (when she went and sat quietly on her favourite cushion in the front room), she was in and out of the kitchen wanting to be part of the action during the clear up. Nosey !
After the session mums Milly and Michelle said
“… Chanel is very precious to us and Sandra has made her feel so much better. Since having her first groom and cut she’s been so much more active and comes upstairs more, she started eating more and wanting more cuddles. When Sandra came back Chanel was ready for another groom and Sandra did another great job. Chanel is a fragile old lady and Sandra took great care of her and worked at Chanel’s pace letting her rest when she needed too. Sandra and Chanel had a lovely conversation all the way through the groom and at the end Chanel had a lovely walk round showing off her swanky new coat. Thank you Sandra, excellent and caring service again. Thank you for helping our little treasure xxx Michelle and Milly xxx”
Looking a million dollars, Chanel !
miss misty
Misty, our friendly Maine Coon friend from Oldham, Greater Manchester was really READY for her session this time around. Her coat was looking sooooo big (her first real winter coat).
As ever, Misty was ever so obliging on the grooming table. We had a little chat and she did lots of washing, whilst we removed a few lumps and bumps, and brushed out her coat.
Nice session, Misty !
cutie radek
Persian Radek from Newton le Willows, Merseyside enjoyed his maintenance session recently.
On the previous visit we had clipped his coat short and today we decided to take it back again. Much easier in terms of maintenance for everyone concerned, than his natural, long flowing coat …
… and Radek has the figure for it ! Well done Radek !
big boy bear !
Our Pin Up boy today 
is 16 month old Maine Coon Bear from Hoghton, Lancashire. Bear’s becoming a big boy !!
This was Bear 3rd session, and it was a very settled affair. Non of the previous cheeky, playfulness (trying to bat the comb !) – but relaxed and enjoying all the fuss and attention that goes with a groom.
Bear’s coat held a few knots here and there which we zipped away, followed by a good brush through.
Well done Bear !!
lovely rhianna
Rhianna, a 6 year old Maine Coon from Leyland, Lancashire joined us recently.
Mum and dad had called us in as Rhianna had developed a few knots underneath. As Rhianna isn’t too keen on being groomed, these were proving difficult to work through.
Everyone would agree that Rhianna wasn’t pleased to find herself on the grooming table. She knew a few naughty words, and wasn’t afraid to use her teeth and nails to try to halt proceedings.
However, the dirty deed had to be done, and now Rhianna has a knot free, brushed out coat – which will give mum and dad a starting point going forwards.
Nice meeting you, Rhianna chick !
cheeky chester
British Short Hair Chester from Warrington, Cheshire was ready for his brushout when we met up with him recently.
At 3 years old, this was his first professional groom – and his coat was carrying lotttttts of dead hair.
Chester obviously isn’t used to be being told what to do and he participated with limited enthusiasm !
Here’s Chester after his session – feeling lots lighter … and pretending to be shy !
Following the session, mum Kate said
“Chester looked amazing after you came, before and he was jumping around like a kitten ! He has shed far less hair too, which is great for my furniture !”
sleek eloise
Maine Coon Eloise from Hoghton, Lancashire was looking pretty sleek after her latest session.
We took away a few knots and had a good brush out to relieve her of all that excess hair.
Although Eloise would much rather have been doing something else, she let us get on with the job in hand. She really does know it’s all for her benefit.
Nice seeing you again Eloise !
alluring aleera
Here is 2 year old Siberian Forest Cat Aleera in Warrington, Cheshire.
We called in to meet Aleera for a brushout. Her coat was in real good condition as mum and dad are well on top of it. Just one teeny weeny knot on her rear which came away easily. Aleera didn’t even notice !
Nice session, Aleera. Well done !
miss meascha
Maine Coon Meashca in Oldham, Greater Manchester
enjoyed her latest session recently.
She always has a good wash whilst the gear is being set up, then purrs her way through the brushout.
Good girl Meashca !
mr abu
Meet Abu ! Abu is 9 years old and lives on The Wirral, Merseyside. He’s a Persian who was rescued by mum from the middle east. One lucky Persian ? Yes ! – Abu is adored !
Abu’s coat is enormous, as a Persian – and it was beginning to get a bit knotty, mainly around the legs and trousers.
So, we decided a clip and fresh start was the best approach for Abu. He has had a clip before so he knew what it was all about, but today he was a little fidgety.
After the Session, mum Pauline said
“Abu is a very happy cat after his grooming. He is very affectionate, continually purring and washing. We are sure he is so pleased with his Lion Clip as he keeps sitting in front of the mirror admiring himself. Luckily the weather remains mild as he still wants to sit outside and has to be coaxed in with treats. All in all a good experience being groomed at home”
Good stuff ! Looking forward to your next clip in a few weeks time Abu …
