such blue eyes !

20160319_122406A Jemima 190316 cropped+(c) Ragdoll Jemima was ready for her brush out recently. Her coat was holding lottttts of dead winter hair that needed to come away.

Jemima is 4 years old and lives with her family (human and feline) in Eccles, Manchester.

Jemima is such a lovely, friendly, inquisitive girl. With a strong mind. If she says No, that’s what she means … So we took some time discussing what was necessary and reluctantly she went along with it.

After the event, mum Becky said :

“You did a fantastic job as always on her coat it looks great, many thanks xx”

Here’s Jemima (Jemba !) looking a lot lighter after her session !

a bonny girl

20150927_174318A Bonnie Sep15 cropped+(c) We called in to see Bonnie again in Burnage, Manchester.

Bonnie is a gentle girl. We think that she’s somewhere between 12-16 years old. Not quite sure as she was rescued by her current mum and dad. … and of course, now has the good life !

Bonnie remembered her last session and let us work through her coat with no fuss. A little fidgety, but not much. Well done Bonnie !

After the session, dad Mike said :

“Bonnie is a long haired cat who had problems with hair balls and self grooming. We booked Sandra and she with loving care and attention has now groomed Bonnie twice. Bonnie has gained tremendously in that she has more energy, is able to groom herself better and looks happier. Finally, Sandra has advised how to better groom Bonnie and has given us general advice on her care. Thoroughly recommend Sandra”

mr buster

IMG_8426 Buster 250915 from Ben+(c) Maine Coon Buster from Chorlton, Manchester recently enjoyed his latest session with us.

He had his usual clip, and afterwards was feeling much the lighter for it !

Well done Buster – nice seeing you again.

lovely bobby

Bobby looking smart (from James 180316) Bobby. Maine Coon. 2 years old. Wilmslow. Cheshire. Who remembers Bobby ?

We first met up with Bobby last Autumn. Today, we had a good work through her coat to rid her of that extra winter fluff it was holding and get her ready for Spring.

Bobby’s quite a nervous young lady, but fared well again on the grooming table (although she would rather have been doing something else !). She does enjoy a bit of sweet talk along the way !

pretty elsa

20160318_143904A Elsa 180316 +(c) We caught up with 5 year old Elsa in Stockport, Cheshire again, recently.

Elsa’s coat was in tip top condition, but ready for a good brush out. It was a very relaxed session and lots of chatter later, Elsa had to be helped off the grooming table ! Sooooo chilled !

little rani

It was nice to be able to meet up and help this little lady recently in Manchester.

After the session, mum Amna said

“A big heartfelt thanks to the lovely Sandra who came on her day off to ease my Rani’s discomfort. Rani is a golden Persian with long coarse fur that is easily matted, likes to roll in grass and briers, along with a strong dislike of being brushed – causing her to mat and knot easily. Sandra was incredibly calm and patient with the hot tempererd and feisty Madam Rani and managed to remove most of the matted coat in the first session. She returned three weeks later to remove the underparts and around the legs. Rani is now a much happier, friskier, and more importantly, a very loving and cuddly cat ! I can’t thank Sandra enough for her kindness and patience towards my Rani who is nearly 12 years old and my little sweetheart. Thank you Sandra !”

20160329_152824A Rani 290316 cropped+(c) Here are piccies of Rani taken just as we’d finished the second phase of her session. Her coat had been clipped down to the skin level 3 weeks earlier, to remove pelts – but here, it is growing back very nicely !

It’s always great to hear just how much happier the little chicks are, once the mats have been removed. Really pleased for you, Rani ! We are checking up with you in a few weeks time for a brush out – so PLEASE let mum comb you in the meantime !

miss holly

Gentle Holly from Padiham enjoyed her maintenance session recently.

Ready for a brush out, as ever. Holly talked .. and talked … and talked throughout the session. Oooh, so interesting Holly and all all so true !

mr bailey

20160313_182223A Bailey 130316 cropped+(c)

Bailey. 10 years old. Alderley Edge. Cheshire.

When we called in on Bailey this time around, his coat had snowballed. Enormous ! Litterally !

20160313_182531A Bailey 130316 cropped+(c)

As we began his brush out but it quickly became apparent that much of it would be extremely difficult to work through – and parts would need to be removed. So, the best way forward was to clip back Bailey’s coat for a fresh start all round.

Although Bailey was a little fidgety, he went along with the idea. Afterwards, he was feeling much lighter for his troubles and we know he’ll be happier without his enormous coat to contend with. Well done, Bailey !

betty babe

IMG_7334 Betty from Elizabeth cropped+(c)

We had a much more chilled session this time around with Betty in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.

The first time we met up, last Autumn, we think was Betty’s first professional groom and she wasn’t keen to find herself on the grooming table.

Today, Betty obviously remembered what it was all about and for the most part she remained quite chilled. One or two words along the way, but after we’d removed lots of excess hair from her coat she was feeling great about her new body !

Well done Betty !

jess from stockport

12674524_10208743383644633_584945906_n Jess from Janine 130316 cropped+(c)

Come and meet Jess !

Jess is around 8 years old and she is a Persian cross. You can find Jess in Stockport, Cheshire.

We’d been asked to call in on Jess as her coat had developed a few lumps and bumps that needed some attention. Although Jess wasn’t too keen on the idea, she humoured us and went along with the plan. For the most part Jess was a real good girl – and can we say she even enjoyed parts of it ? Eh, Jess ? She just wasn’t keen on hitting any snags. We brushed out where possible and clipped the rest away.

After the session, mum Janine said

“Thank you Sandra, for giving Jess a Spa day, even though she was very trying at times, I think she has a new friend 😻x”

So pleased you’re feeling comfier, Jess !
