big boy hamish

Come and say Hi once again to Hamish !

You may remember Hamish, who lives with his family in Crewe, Cheshire. At 4 years old, this Maine Coon is one biggggg boy !

Hamish is such a gentle guy and he does loves a bit of sweet talk on the quiet. He wasn’t keen to get up onto the grooming table but as soon as his paws hit the deck he was laid out chilling and so relaxed. Very amenable to positioning and manipulation, Hamish obliged by offering the correct limb at the correct time.

Such a good boy !

pretty oscar

Oscar in Bury, Greater Manchester enjoyed his first professional groom with us recently.

Enjoyed ? Tolerated. We took away where we couldn’t comb and brushed out the rest. Oscar doesn’t like being groomed and the Session was a little fidgety. However, we know he was happy and chilling as soon as his little feet hit the floor !

He is a really sweet boy and looking forward to next time already, Oscar !

thank you

Thanks to Elsa in Stockport, Cheshire and mum Janice for these gorgeous flowers.

They have pride of place (high up, where the little ones can’t nibble at them !). Thank you so much !

fluffy tilley

Tilley was her usual delightful self when we called in to see her in Bolton, Greater Manchester again recently.

Well used to her Sessions – and always with such a good tale to tell ! – Tilley settled down on the grooming table straight away and let us work through her coat with no fuss.

We removed bits and bobs that shouldn’t have been there and we know she’ll be feeling lighter ! Nice seeing you again, Tilley !

Here’s the little lady, on her way back up to bed after the Session .

chilled charley

We met up with a new chick to join us – Charley.

Charley lives with her housemate and family in Bury, Lancashire and she’s around 4 years old.

Today, Charley enjoyed a Belly Clip, Hygiene Trim and Brush Out – removing dead hair and sprucing her up for Autumn and the impending darker (thicker) months.

Such a good girl – Charley got into the swing of things well. She had a couple of panicky moments, but chilled again whilst we worked through.

Mum Lysa later said

“Thank you so much for coming today to groom my two cats for their first ever professional groom. Your patience was much appreciated. I’m really happy with the job you’ve done and will definitely be using you again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you !”

Thanks so much, Lysa and well done Charley !

gentle ollie

It was time for Ollie’s maintenance Session in Liverpool, Merseyside recently.

Ollie is always such a good, obliging, relaxed, snoozy boy during his Session. The only time he shows any displeasure (when he manages to open an eye – or maybe a tiny weeny ‘grr’) is when his rear quarters are being attended to.

We worked through and removed so much dead hair, the pile was larger than Ollie himself. Wow ! You must be feeling fresh, Ollie !

petite daisy

We called in again to see Persian Daisy on the Wirral, to make her more comfy.

Daisy’s coat had developed areas that needed to be removed and we decided that the best approach for young Daisy was a Full Clip.

A little fidgety. Well, a bit more than “a little” – but as good as gold. It was so lovely see Daisy evidently more comfy after the Session, as she set about a mega self grooming session !

Following the Session, mum Fi said

“Just wanted to say thank you for sorting Daisy out and putting up with her strong will, haha. She slept very well last night and has been running round like a mad woman this morning. She is a very happy little girl now”

Fantastic to hear !

how old ? heck

We took a few lumps and bumps away from Jose’s coat recently (particulary his sides/flanks/undercarriage), when we met up in Edenfield, Greater Manchester.

We think that Jose is about 17 years old, but not too sure as he was living in the garden when he decided that this new pad was a better option – and that Yes, he’d move in. Ok ?

Well, Jose now wants for nothing. In fact, when we arrived this time mum Barbara asked if we wanted a drink – and promptly offered a glass of Jose’s bottled water ! Suppose, if it’s good enough for the cat ….!

We’ve seen Jose a few times now and, although he’d rather be doing something else, he lets us get on with sorting out this coat. He knows he feels like a new man afterwards !

A few days after the Session mum Barbara said

“Jose looks fine and is walking so much more easily without those terrible mats. Thank you for all your hard work.”

gentle oliver

It was lovely meeting up with British Longhair Oliver in Bolton, Greater Manchester once again for his maintenance clip.

Oliver is always a good boy. Fidgety – especially when it’s his tum in question – but a gentle lad who knows just what to expect from his Sessions.

We took his coat short again today and he was super pleased with himself straight away after the Session !

Looking great, Oliver !

baby meascha

Here’s young Maine Coon Meascha in Bury, Greater Manchester.

Meascha is around 2 years old now and, like her sister, she is such a friendlly girl.

She loves her Sessions, and snoozes and washes her way through. Always a good girl !
