the st helens chicks
It was manicure time once again for Lowkey and Kiko in St Helens, Merseyside.
Kiko is quite a nervous young chick but every so sweet and gentle. We still haven’t managed a piccie of Kiko …next time Kiko ! Lowkey is more confident, but no less gentle.
No fuss – all over before it began. Well done chicks !
(Here’s a piccie of Lowkey. Kiko will star next time !)

Come and meet Rory !
Rory (or, Sunday name Ruairidh ….. or, sometimes Big Ru !) is an 18 month old Maine Coon. Rory lives with his mum and housemates in Manchester. He is such a sweeeeet boy, although has never been that keen on being groomed.
On the grooming table ? Good as gold ! Rory immediately knew what was going on and – oh yes – You did even enjoy parts of the Session, Mr Ru !
Following Rory’s Session, mum Emma said
“Thank you so much for today. I’m genuinely thrilled, not to say amazed, that you made my big red giant stay still for as long as you did. Am so glad to have found someone so skilled who seems to love the fur babies almost as much as their own humans do – and will be confidently brandishing the new comb now that we’ve learned the ropes !”

It’s was Macy’s maintenance Session again in Manchester, recently.
Macy is around 5 years old now and she is, of course, a Maine Coon.
We took some lugs away, especially from underneath, and removed lots of dead hair along the way. Macy did have something to say about it, but we know she always feels great afterwards !
sweetie sophie
That’s a lot of excess hair, for a short haired cat !
There’s no doubt that Sophie in St Helens, Merseyslde was ready for her 1st session with us today.
Although Sophie is a friendly girl, mum was a little apprehensive as Sophie can be a bit grumpy when the mood takes her. However, today, she was on her best behaviour and we had a great work through.
You MUST be feeling lighter, Sophie !
what a tale
Chinchilla Persian Bola from Preston, Lancashire was such a good girl during her latest Session.
Oh, she’d always rather be doing something else – but she’s definitely finding her Sessions easier.
Does she chat ? Think the question should be “Is she ever quiet ?” !!
mrs mitzi
Here’s Mitzi in Wigan, Greater Manchester after her latest maintenance Session.
We see Mitzi regularly, but there is always a tremendous amount of dead hair that comes away. Incredible, really.
We think that Mitzi is about 11 years old. She is quite deaf these days, but that doesn’t stop her having a good chat whilst we work through her coat. A real gentle girl, and sooooo interesting !
Here’s Mitzi and the hair removed during this Session.
happy harvey
We took Harvey’s coat shorter for him during his latest session in Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire.
There’s such a lot of it, and it’s long. Harvey finds it difficult to manage so we decided to try a shorter look.
He enjoyed his usual short Belly Clip, then on top we tried a more teddy bear finish. Not a neat clip, but more rugged with a little fluff left on. Not for everyone, but certainly good for Harvey !

the birman sisters
Sisters Daisy and Lily from Preston, Lancashire were due their maintenance sessions recently.
As mum and dad are now so well on top of their Birman coats, today was all about mainicure/pedicures and paw trims.
It’s fantastic to see these 2 girls have settled so well into their new lives. It’s taken some work, as they were quite unsettled when they were rescued from the shelter – especially Lily. However, it’s all paid off and now they enjoy the lives of little princesses !
such a babe
Young Persian Samson in Padiham, Lancashire was feeling much comfier after his latest Session.
We removed areas that couldn’t be worked through and brushed out the rest.
Here’s the little guy just chillin’ on the sofa a few minutes after his Session, whilst we cleared up.
sir lancelot
Maine Coon Lancelot found today’s Session so much easier.
Lancelot lives with his family and housemate in Halifax, Yorkshire. He’s around 4 years old now and is a Biiiiig boy. Long, tall and weighty !
…. as we were saying, today was Lancelot’s second Session and it was a much calmer affair. Timely Maintenance sessions usually are. First of all the coat isn’t as difficult to work through, making the Session easier for chick in that respect – and also chick knows what to expect from the Session. Lots of fuss, sweet talk – as well as feeling like a million dollars afterwards.
We worked through Lancelot’s coat today and remove odd lumps and bumps, and brushed out the rest. We did still have a few moments when Lancelot thought he knew best and that probably we ought to have finished by now, but he tolerated well and really settled into the Session. We saw those paws kneading, Lancelot ! Just little tell tale signs, you know …… !
