lily lou
Lily. British Longhair. 13 years old. Preston. Lancashire.
We meet up with Lily on a regular basis to keep on top of her long thick coat.
Lily is never keen on her sessions, but more recently anti-inflamatory medication seems to have helped her comfort during her brush outs.
lovely pearl
Selkirk Rex variant Pearl was pleased to see us when we met up with her again recently in Wigan, Greater Manchester.
She came noseying in the room, whilst we set up with gear – and wanted a fuss.
Pearl’s coat was ready for a brush out to rid it of lots of dead hair – athough there were no knots or snags to deal with.
Afterwards ? What a happy little chick, totally pleased with herself !
Well done Pearl !
chester from warrington
Who remembers Chester ?
Chester is a 4 year old British Shorthair (BSH) from Warrington, Cheshire. Today was his 2nd home visit, and although it’s fair to say that Chester still wasn’t enamoured by the thoughts of his session, he was much more settled than last time.
As a BSH, Chester’s coat is dense and always ready for a thinning ! Even though it’s the warmer months, Chester still felt much lighter after his session !
In the piccie on the left you can see how Chester’s coat was thick, separated and clumping before his session. In the top piccie at the end of his session, he’s nice and smooth !
friendly oliver
It was maintenance clip time for Oliver in Bolton, Greater Manchester recently.
Oliver’s coat had regrown soooo quicky ! What are you eating, Oliver ?! Super food ?!! So, we took it back once again for an easier life all round for everyone.
Sessions are definitely becoming easier for Oliver. Much less fidgety today – which means we can get on with more speed, Oliver ! Been trying to tell you this for a while !!
mr harry
Mr Harry was such a good boy when we met up for his recent maintenance session. He’s knows what it is all about now and that he always feels better for it afterwards.
Our session in Huyton, Liverpool was a very calm, obliging affair. Mr Harry is a Persian, and even though we’re now into the summer months his coat was still extra full, with a few knots here and there.
Good as gold was Mr Harry, as we worked through his session ! Well done little boy !
pretty mitzy
It was recently time once again to call in on Ragdoll Mitzy from Bolton, Greater Manchester.
Last time we met up with 6 years old Mitzy, we had a full session. Today, a manicure/pedicure alone was on the cards.
Such a good girl, Mitzy ! No fuss !
Looking forward to seeing you again in a few weeks for another full groom !
such a beau
This young man is Bowie and he’s been with his new mum and dad in Altrincham, Cheshire for just about 6 weeks. We think that he is around 3 years old.
Bowie’s a lovely young man, but extremely nervous. He’s settling in well and slowly gaining trust, but it’s going to take some time. He has lost one eye, so this compounds his nervousness.
Today, Bowie’s coat was in good condition. We worked underneath and around his rear quarter – much to Bowie’s displeasure. Not much hair came away. We took a couple of breaks, for Bowie’s comfort and realised that he was much happier laid on the kitchen worktop – which, obviously was familiar to him – than on the grooming table. Also, he was much more chilled out with the fan blowing directly in his face, to cool him (the room was very hot).
Nice meeting you Bowie, and you’ve fallen on your feet ! Here’s a piccie of Bowie in his bed, after the session.
gentle mitzi
It’s always nice to meet up with Mitzi from Billinge, Wigan.
Mitzi was on top form today, and she was very chilled. In fact, we had a very informative conversation today and caught up with all the local gossip. Mitzi always likes to join in, and certainy always replies when spoken to. Nobody could call her rude !
A few bits and bobs were clipped away, particularly down her lower tummy which was quite knotty. Pleasingly, the coat that was clipped last session was growing back nicely today.
Mum Sue later said
“Mitzi had not been well but Sandra restored her good looks. At the end of the session her coat looked beautiful and Mitzi felt much better. Thank you Sandra for another caring and professional session .Mitzi is lucky to have your attention”
Not at all bad looking for 11 years old, Mitzi In fact, quite a stunner !
fluffy max
Come and meet Max. You’ll find Max on The Wirral.
This young man is a Ragdoll and he’ll be around 4 years old now. His coat needed some attention after being in the cattery. Since returning, Max had been giving himself dust baths in the garden – maybe to relieve itching under the mats ?
Ever such a friendly chap, Max was quite vocal on the grooming table. A little fidgety, but he settled whilst we worked through his coat and ridded him of mats and smaller tangles here and there.
Afterwards ? Max was well pleased with himself – and obviousy more comfy.
A few days later we heard from dad who said
“Max is great. He is not dusting and is grooming. Really great job well done”
Lovely to hear !
miss mary
Sweet little Mary from Altrincham, Cheshire enjoyed her latest manicure session recently.
Mary is a British Short Hair and she is a house cat. As such, her nails don’t wear down sufficiently. Therefore, she has them trimmed regularly.
Always sweet and never any fuss. She’s always more interested in the view from the grooming table … out there into the garden and all those birds – oh, and if we’re lucky the odd neighbourhood cat just happens to pass through, just at the right moment.
Nice seeing you, Mary ! Here she is, chilling out after her session …
