hercules the champion

It was nice to call on Hercules Champion in Kirkham, Lancashire again.

Hercules Champion is a gorgeous Silver/Red Maine Coon.  He’s going on 15 years old, but he doesn’t look it !

Hercules Champion was very calm whilst we clipped his nails, and very amenable on the table while he had that hard to reach belly combed.  He lay and dozed whilst we got on with it !   … and it was nice to see that the hair that was matted and clipped away in October, is growing back nicely.

Mum Gerry later said :

“Hercules Champion looks so good after his grooming session.  I’ve just been speaking to a neighbour too, who commented on just how good he looks !  I’m cooking him his favourite boiled chicken for his tea as he’s been such a good boy”

We look forward to seeing you again in a few weeks Hercules Champion !

Here’s Illy – one of our gorgeous customers from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire – taking some (no doubt, well deserved !) time out.

cute or what ?

This one was just too cute to resist …. !

our radek

It was so nice to see our friend Radek again, in Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside.  Radek is a Persian, and is 5 years old.

He greeted us with a few head buts, then had a nosey around the equipment whilst we set up.

Radek has such a beautiful long, thick coat.  It was a little tangly, and he was very patient as we worked through the sections – until he came out the other end looking lovely !

Well done Radek – looking forward to seeing you again soon !

We’re grooming in Windermere on Mon 16 Dec, and have 1 x slot free.  If you’re interested in discussing a grooming session for your cat, and are around that area (LA23, LA22, LA21) or on our path on the M6 (Lancaster/Carnforth/Kendal) please get in touch !

cat years

Take a look at how old your cat really is in cat years ……

Ours are 14 – so around 70 in cat years – but still act so young, with the obligatory mad half hour every evening !

miss moody

It was nice to see 13 year old Moody from Prescot, Merseyside again.

Moody has her nails trimmed every few weeks as she no longer plays out very much.

She is such a friendly girl, and greeted us with head rubs – and she then wanted petting as she rolled on the floor !

Moody is soooo laid back and always takes the sessions well in her stride.   Good girl Moody – see you again soon !

nai’ma and malaika

Two little cuties !  Only 4 months old and introduced to their first professional grooming session.

British Short Hairs grow to be very muscular cats with large, round eyes and dense, thick coats.  They are generally easy going in character and are quite intelligent.  They can even learn tricks.

Malaika (above, right) is Blue, whilst Nai’ma (above, left) is Blue-Cream.  The world is so much fun for them at the moment, and they love chasing each other around and playing daft games !

In their individual sessions, they both settled well on the table, and tolerated the various positions they found themselves in.  They definitely enjoyed the 1:1 attention, and there was lots of purring going on !  Towards the end of Malaika’s session, she decided it was a game and that the brush was definitely the victim !

Following the girls’ grooming sessions, mum Rafiqa from Preston, Lancashire gave some feedback :

“It was my first time using a cat grooming service for my 4 month old kittens.  She spent time getting to know the kittens first, put them at ease and did the full works – clipping, brushing, washing.  The kittens were fine afterwards and I felt comfortable.  I would definitely recommend Sandra to friends and family.  Thank you !”

Well done girls … Didn’t we have a good time !

florence and tiger-lily

We called to see two girls in Urmston, Manchester who needed a nail trim.

Florence (pictured) and Tiger-Lily are Oriental Shorthair Mix.  They are sisters, and at just 14 months old are sooooo inquisitive.  Tiger-Lily is the more nervous of the two, but she was happily investigating all our equipment upon our arrival !

This is the first time the girls have had their nails clipped at home.  Previously, they have travelled to the vets surgery.

Both Florence and Tiger-Lily were both a little nervous of proceedings, but overall did very well.  Well done girls !

Following the session, mum Eve sent some feedback :

“Florence looks so cute in this picture, she couldn’t resist posing for you.  You were fantastic!  Me and Harrison were so much happier with having it done at home.  We are glad Tiger-lily’s outburst hasn’t put you off because we will definitely be asking you to come back next month.  I’ve been recommending you to everyone!  Once again, thank you so much”
