boo boo
Here’s Siberian Forest Cat Boo in Wigan, Greater Manchester. Do you remember Boo ?
Boo is a biggggggg boy. Not sure how much he weighs, but would estimate 9-10 kg.
Today was Boo’s second session and he was so much more less fidgety about the whole affair. His coat was extremely thick and matted in parts. We brushed out what we could and clipped away the rest, with a Hygiene Trim to finish off the look.
Afterwards – feeling much lighter ! – Boo was a happy chappy !
miss freya
When we called in again to see Maine Coon Freya in Preston, Lancashire it was great to hear what had happened since our last visit.
Grooming with mum is now an activity to be enjoyed by both Freya and brother Kiwi – and they had done a great job keeping on top of Freya’s long thick coat.
Today ? A gentle, pampering session with a Hygiene Trim.
We know you enjoyed it Freya !
lovely thomas
It’s incredible how sessions have changed for Thomas in Wigan, Greater Manchester.
Not that he was every too upset about it – but now he’s just sooooooo chilled. Stretching out and really going with the flow.
Thomas has been doing a great job of looking after his coat and today was a lighter summer brush out with no knots to contend with.
Well done Thomas !
handsome bailey
The last time we called on Bailey from Chester, Cheshire we took away his full winter coat as it was too cloggy to comb through. It was to give him a fresh start as the Spring/Summer was approaching.
When we met up today, Bailey’s coat had surprisingly grown back quite slowly. His top coat was coming through quite nicely, whereas his undercoat was quite sparse. Maybe because of the time of year and it’s his summer coat that growing back.
We bet you make up for it soon Bailey ! We know that your winter coat is humongous !! In the meantime, enjoy the lighter look and maintenance !
fluffy harvey
Harvey from Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire !
We call in on Harvey to keep on top of his coat and nails on a regular basis. In fact, to keep on top of all of his toes ! Harvey is polydactyl, which means he has extra digits.
Always a thick coat – even in mid summer ! – Harvey was ready for his session today. We worked through and thinned him out which will keep him comfy for another few weeks.
pretty dusty
Dusty in Ashton in Makerfield, Wigan was ready for a manicure session when we called in on her recently.
At 8 years old, fluffy Dusty doesn’t wear them down like she used to, so needed a litte help.
Good as gold !
mrs noodles
Come and meet a new friend – Noodles ! We think that Noodles is around 14-16 years old and she lives in Knutsford, Cheshire.
Noodles has a long coat which had become quite pelted. There was no choice but remove the majority of it from her sides and underneath, for her comfort and a fresh start. On top, she got away with a brush out.
…… and what a good girl she was during her session. Wow, Noodles ! You really did know what was going on, didn’t you ?
A few days later mum Tracey said
“Noodles has been so much better – actually eating more and have mad half hour in the mornings. Going out more, also wanting cuddles. She jumps about the place like a gazell. Was getting my daughter ready for dance summer school – had her suitcase out. She decided it was her new toy, jumping in and out of it. Haha. Thank you”
little bola
Here’s Chinchilla Persian Bola in Preston, Lancashire. Who knows Bola ?
We had a very chatty session, as usual,. Meow meow meow meow meow … or something like that. Gosh, she has a lot to say that young woman.
A little later, and a lot lighter – Bola was feeling very pleased with her little self !
young george
This young man is George !!
George is a Chinchilla Persian cross from Chester, Cheshire and he has the life of luxury since finding his new mum and dad.
Although mum manages to keep on top of his coat, George is less than pleased and it is hard work for everyone. Today, George enjoyed a Clip to take his coat short.
Later, mum Vanessa said
“Many thanks for grooming George .. perfect timing for the heatwave ! ….. He is a lot happier after the grooming. Thanks again !”
Great to hear you’re feeling fresh, George ! You were a good boy !
gentle tigzz
Here’s a new guy to join us : Tigzz !
Tigzz is a 6 year old Siberian Forest Cat who lives in Wigan, Greater Manchester with his litter mate and family.
Tigzz is quite a nervous guy by nature, but he got into the swing of things like it was all old hat. He really knew what was going on from the start and – Yes, he enjoyed the 1:1 for sure ! A real calm, gentle session whilst we worked through his coat removing bits and bobs that he didn’t need and combed out the rest.
After the session, dad Paul said
“… the boys meow their thanks to you for making their coats nice and smooth again. I am really surprised at how you managed Tigzz. I had the district nurse and paramedics on standby. He is a very timid little fellow bordering ferral at times. Very willing to show his claws but can also be very loving on occasions ..”
No claws, just smiles ! Well done Tigzz !
