miss moody
Moody by name, but not by nature !
Moody is a gentle 13 years old Burmese, who we visit regularly in Liverpool, Merseyside to clip her nails. She now knows what to expect of the session, and doesn’t bat an eyelid.
Clever girl, Moody ! Looking forward to seeing you again soon …
bonny bertie
This young man asked us to visit, to work through his coat which had developed a few small knots in those hard to reach areas – ie. armpits and tummy.
Bertie is only 9 months old, but is already a large Maine Coone. With another 4-ish years growth still to go, he’s going to be a very big boy ! (males can reach up to 25lb /11kg at maturity).
In keeping with his breed, Bertie is nervous around strangers – but he quickly warmed to our presence, and settled down well for his session. He didn’t mind his nails being clipped, and wasn’t afraid of the clippers. He seemed to quickly realise that we were helping him with his coat and relaxed on the grooming table. Whilst we were brushing out around his back end, he even helped proceedings by grooming his own chest and front legs !
Mum Deborah from Blackburn, Lancashire later said :
“Hi Sandra, Thanks for everything today, you were amazing with Bertie, Bertie is a timid cat, I was really worried how he would respond to you as he normally runs a mile with strangers, you wooed him over in minutes and did a fantastic job with all the knots, thanks again.”
Well done Bertie – You really were a very brave boy !
our ollie
Ollie from Liverpool, Merseyside couldn’t be any more laid back. In fact, we think he was dozing as we worked through his coat !
He definitely remembered his last grooming session and as soon as he sat on the table he was very relaxed.
A good brush out, and removal of a few knots that had started to form, were what Ollie needed to see us about.
Ollie is quite a big boy, and he lay patiently whilst we tended to his nails and coat.
Mum Barbara later commented :
“Another brill session with Sandra. Ollie was so relaxed now he knows the caring manner Sandra uses. Thanx again Sandra and see you in the new year x”
Such a good boy Ollie, and so handsome with it ! Well done !
prevention better than cure
We’re taking so many calls at the moment from Enquirers who are concerned about their cats having recently developed mats.
We are now into Autumn and it’s the ideal time for a good brush out, to help prevent mats developing during the forthcoming colder months. Prevention is better than cure, as they say – and a good coat really does boost health and wellbeing.
Get in touch with us. It’d be lovely to hear from you to discuss your cat’s needs.
friendly finnegan
We were delighted to call again on Finnegan, in Middleton, Manchester.
Finnegan is somewhere around 10 years old, and has a really strong bond with his mum – who he picked about 4 years ago ! Finnegan doesn’t play out very much, and he needed his nails trimming as they were starting to overgrow.
It was obvious that Finnegan remembered the last session. He is a very nervous boy in general, but he really did settle on the grooming table this time without any fuss to speak off – and he lay patiently whilst we tended to his nails.
A model client, Finnegan ! Well done you handsome chappy !!

pretty poppet
Poppet needed some help with removing mats from her coat, that had developed around the back and lower parts of her body. We think she may be arthritic and therefore can no longer groom as she used to.
Poppet will definitely be feeling more comfy, without those mats – and she proceeded to have a wash straight away, on one of those legs that is now knot free ! It must feel wonderful to her ! She was extremely friendly after the session – rubbing up to us, and almost cat-walking up and down the living room !
The following day, mum Jane from St Helens, Merseyside told us :
“Poppet is washing herself more, following her groom. She has been laying on her back in front of the fire with legs splayed, washing her tummy – because she can get to it now that all the knots have gone !”
Fantastic to hear the news, Jane. Well done Poppet – keep up the good work !
bluebell babe
She’s a real sweetheart, this 17 year old blue and white Persian from Bolton, Greater Manchester.
We worked with Bluebell, to remove mats that had formed on her flanks, back legs and underneath.
The clippers didn’t phase Bluebell one bit – in fact she much preferred them to a vigorous brush. So rather than a harsh brush out around the tail area which was pretty matted, we decided to take it back to lion style !
We’re sure that Bluebell will feel the benefits of her groom and lighter coat, immediately.
Lovely meeting you Bluebell …. and just look at that pose ! You DO know that you’re gorgeous, don’t you !
she hasn’t lost her mojo
This little lady is 13 years old Mojo. She was such a star as we worked through her coat, which we took away a large proportion of, due to matting.
Really intuitive and intelligent, she quickly realised we were helping her and licked our fingers during the session, and brushed up against the clippers – even whilst they were running !
After the groom, Mojo quickly discovered her new body, and set about a good washing exercise … reaching those parts that she hadn’t been able to work on for a while. It was really good to see her instantly feeling the benefits of the session.
Mum Valerie from Ellesmere Port, Cheshire later said :
“Sandra called on my cat Mojo because she was suffering with a matted coat. She was great with her and put her at ease, as she is quite timid. By the end Mojo was purring. Sandra did an excellent job, and I was pleased with the results.”
Really brave, Mojo – well done ! We know you’ll feel so much more comfy with your new coat !
quiet quibbles
Quibbles – a handsome young chap from Bury, Greater Manchester of around 3 years old – called us in, to work through his coat which had become matted down the sides and around the bum area.
Although Quibbles was a little apprehensive about the session he was responsive to reassurance and settled whilst we worked through with the clippers, followed by a good brushing out. When the session had finished he sat behind the door, waiting to leave the room. As soon as the door was opened for him, he left – and then within (3 ?) seconds, he was back in the room with us – as he was just too nosey and didn’t want to miss anything ! A typical, contrary, cat !
Good boy Quibbles – you did really well today !
