handsome spirit
Here’s 8 year old Himalayan Persian Spirit in Stockport, Cheshire.
Spirit’s coat was on the extra thick side today, as you might imagine at this point in the year.
We took away Spirit’s tummy hair to make life easier under there, and brushed out the rest of his coat.
Feeling lighter !
fluffy charlie
14 year old Charlie from Wigan, Greater Manchester is becoming more mellow at each session.
The first time we met up, Charlie’s coat was quite pelted in areas. She wouldn’t let mum or dad comb, and she was quite sure that we weren’t going there either.
As sessions have progressed, Charlie is obviously feeling better about herself. Her coat this time around was the nicest it’s ever looked and she was so much calmer. In fact, on the quiet we think she enjoyed some of the fuss !
handsome sansa
Come and say Hello to Sansa from Chorley, Lancashire.
Sansa is just over 1 year old and he’s a Ragdoll. He’s a little timid when he’s unsure what’s going on and this was his first professional groom.
We’d been called in as Sansa had developed a few lumps and bumps around his coat which needed tending to. Sansa wasn’t keen on the idea, but he went along with it.
Nice meeting you, Sansa !
what a bonnie lass
If anyone recognises Maine Coon Bonnie in Preston, Lancashire you’ve been with us a long time ! Last time we met up with Bonnie was about 3 years ago. Yes – She remembered !
Such a friendly girl. We had a little chat about what was going to happen, whilst the gear was set up. Some matted areas needed to be removed – mainly down her sides, flanks and lower back and rear quarters. The rest of her coat needed a good work through with the comb.
Bonnie really did know it was all for her benefit and although she was a little fidgety, she was a real good girl.
Nice seeing you again, Bonnie !
lovely phoebe
Phoebe. Persian. 2 years old. Winsford. Cheshire. A lovely little girl.
Remember Phoebe ?
Phoebe’s not keen on her coat being attended to, but sessions are definitely becoming easier for her. A Belly Clip and a brushout, and removal of one or two tangles this time around.
We began well, then became fidgety. However, we got there ! Calmer still next time, eh Phoebe ?
tyldesley ladies
The Tyldesley girls – Lucy, Jess and Rosie – have a new addition to their family. 4 month old Lily ! such a big boy
Maine Coon Ted in Darwen, Lancashire really was ready for his maintenance session when we caught up with him again recently.
Much of Ted’s coat couldn’t be worked through and needed to be removed. He’s a biiiiig boy, so the pelt pieces were quite large.broccoli the cat
Little lady Broccoli the Persian recently needed some help with her coat. She is 11 months old and lives with her mum and dad in Wilmslow, Cheshire.
A really sweet little girl, who had been kicking up a bit of a fuss when mum tried to comb her. Nothing terrible – just very playful and squirmy wormy.
We took away a few lumps and bumps from Broccoli’s coat and brushed out the rest.
After the session, mum Ciara said
“Thanks so much to Sandra for Broccoli’s grooming session. She is very shy, and once she is over her shyness, she is very naughty … so I was worried that it would all be a bit of a chore. Sandra was amazingly patient and after coaxing her from her hiding place and putting up with a lot of amateur dramatics, she soon had her coat looking gorgeous again. Despite the vocal protests (and attempts to steal the comb) she did seem to enjoy it and I am feeling much more confident about her next session. She has been showing off all evening and clearly loving her lighter coat. Excellent, reliable and professional service and also incredibly friendly and patient. Would recommend to anyone”
Thanks Ciara – so pleased to hear … and so pleased to hear your update a few days later, too …
“I just needed to share the good news with you, something that hasn’t happened for a very very long time. This morning Broccoli let me groom her whole body without complaining once. Both comb and slicker. In fact, she purred the whole way through ! I have no doubt that this is due to her wonderful session with you, and I want to thank you so much for restoring her confidence in the comb and allowing us to have our special grooming bonding sessions back”
Excellent !!!! Well done Broccoli the Cat …. Can see that you’re getting up to mischief on your own Facebook Page !
clever sox
15 year old Sox from Newton le Willows, Merseyside asked us to call in to see her again recently.sweetie oliver
Persian Oliver in Winsford, Cheshire was looking great after his latest maintenance session.
A Belly Clip to make life easier under there, a work through ad hoc knots and tangles, and a good brush out.
Feeling lighter, Oliver ! See you again soon .
