pretty april
It was really nice to meet up again with Maine Coon April in Manchester recently.
April is such a sweet girl – and she really does enjoy her time on the grooming table. As soon as those little (little ?) pads hit the table she begins to relax, and she purrrrrrrrred her way through this latest session.
Mum Francesca later said
“Sandra, I just wanted to thank you for all your continued support in the care of my 2 Maine Coon cats while I’m working in Australia. Whilst my housemate is doing the day to day work it is so reassuring to have you continue to visit them and care for their coats. I have always been nothing short of amazed at the way in which you handle Macy, who behaves like nothing short of a grumpy teenager, and also the patience you show with my nervous girl April. The detailed updates you send each time you visit are so thoughtful and I am eternally grateful. Many thanks (from Australia) Francesca x”
Thanks Francesca ! From our point of view it’s such a pleasure to continue meeting up with your chicks !
what gorgeous flowers
Thank you so much to the lovely Elsa and mum Janice in Cheadle Heath, Cheshire for these beautiful flowers. So gorgeous, girls ! xx
handsome bertie
We called in on Maine Coon Bertie in Urmston, Manchester for his maintenance session.
Bertie’s a biiiiig boy, but soooo gentle with it. Just a couple of small tangles underneath to contend with today, and a nice, gentle brush out.
Bertie sometimes gets a bit fidgety if the session is long, due to a more difficult coat – but today he fared well due to an easier to work through coat.
Well done Bertie ! Nice seeing you ! (Oh, by the way – can you see housemate Maine Coon Charlie in the piccie ? Photobombing ! Charlie always gets in the action !!)
little lady mia
Here’s little 6 year old Mia from Nantwich, Cheshire. Who remembers Mia ?
Mia has spent the summer months with her much lighter, Persian coat. Today – she was definitely beginning to thicken up for the winter ahead.
Such a sweetie, as always. We had a very gentle session and took away a fair amount of dead hair. Not a knot in sight, so well done Mia and mum !
After the session, mum Alison said
“Mia had a fabulous spa day this week with Sandra, manicure, pedicure, facial, full coat groom and tummy trim. She does enjoy her spa days ! Her winter coat is well and truly on it way ! Thank you Sandra, from Essentially Purrfect.”
gentle alfie
Maine Coon Alfie from Flixton, Manchester was ready for his maintenance session this time around.
Alfie is quite a nervous chap, but sessions are definitely becoming easier for him. He relaxed immediately on the grooming table and was so amenable as we worked through his long, thick coat.
Such a gentle guy, who purred his way through his session !
Well done Alfie ! See you again soon chick !
eva peron
Who remembers Eva Peron ? That’s Eva Peron the Maine Coon from Bollington, Cheshire !
Such a gentle lady, Eva is. We worked through her coat with no fuss – brushing out, and removing an area that needed to come away.
A little chit chat along the way .. We heard all about what had been going on since last time we met up … and Eva was feeling a lot lighter !
Nice seeing you again Eva !
handsome diego
We met up again recently with Ragdoll Diego from Sharston, Manchester.
Diego is 4 years old now, and this was the second time we’d called in for a Lion Clip. Diego has the most full coat going and he really is a happier boy without all that hair !
A much more settled session this time around. No mats, just a little tangly is parts … and very soon Diego was strutting his stuff, showing off his new body !
There is a short video clip of Diego enjoying his treats after his Lion Clip session on our facebook page. Why not check it out ? ….
macy moo
Maine Coon Macy from Manchester was recently due her maintenance groom.
Last time we met up with Macy a few weeks ago we took away a few knots and tangles – all of which were growing back nicely today.
Today’s session was mainly to work through Macy’s coat with the comb, along with a couple of areas which were clipped.
Mum later said
“Sandra, I just wanted to thank you for all your continued support in the care of my 2 Maine Coon cats while I’m working in Australia.

Thanks so much Francesca ! Great session, Macy !
miss misty
We met up with young Maine Coon friend Misty in Oldham, Greater Manchester again recently.
Misty’s coat is always in good condition. We just removed a couple of knots that had formed underneath and around one of her trousers – and had a brush out. Misty’s coat is thickening up a bit now, ready for the darker months.
After the session, mum Peggy said
“shes so lovely … love her so much and she loves you coming Sandra…thank you….”
Nice seeing you Misty !
Why not come over to our facebook page where you can see a very short clip of Misty sat in her favourite chair – smiling, after her session … Sooooo chilled !
the lovely bella
Meet Bella !
Bella is a 7 year old British Short Hair (or British Blue) who lives with her new family in Chorlton, Manchester. She’s been with them now for about 3 months.
Today, Bella’s coat was quite clumpy in parts and in need of a good brush out. Bella wasn’t too keen on the idea, but we took away a lot of dead hair to make her more comfortable.
We’re hoping that with a regular schedule, sessions get easier for Bella as, as a BSH, Bella’s coat is extremely dense and she needs help keeping on top of it.
Looking forward to seeing you again in a few weeks time little chick !
Bella is definitely going to feel lighter, without carrying this load around with her !
