sweet oscar
Oscar, a 5 year old chocolate point Persian, called us in to have a look at his coat as he’d developed a few tangles and mats.
He enjoys being brushed, and much prefers a little tugging with the comb to the clippers. We took away what couldn’t be saved, and teased out the rest of his coat. Oscar was quite squirmy and it took him a while to settle down on the table. Contrary – as cats are – once we’d finished the session Oscar was quite content remaining on the table … We had to politely ask him to leave !
Later, Oscar’s mum from Ellesmere Port, The Wirral commented that Oscar had then spent his afternoon pottering around the garden, and topping up his tum !
lady kitty
This pretty 20 year old lady was in need of a thorough groom to thin out her coat, and remove some clumpy areas. Kitty suffers from arthritis, and maybe this is why she can no longer give her thick coat the attention it needs. We were able to remove a tremendous amount of dead hair from Kitty’s coat.
Within a few days it was apparent that she is really benefiting from the session. Not only does she look younger (!), we saw a little spring in her step !
Granddaughter C was a big help, supervising part of the proceedings. Thanks C !
Mum Viv and dad Mike from Urmston, Greater Manchester later said :
“You could not wish for a better service than that provided by Sandra from EssentiallyPurrfect. Both friendly and efficient she worked tirelessly and with a great patience whilst grooming a very bad tempered cat. We were very pleased with the final result and can recommend her service to anyone.”
It was lovely to work with Kitty, and to see the years fall off her after the session. Well done Kitty !
ginger sam
This handsome lad is Sam from Chorley, Lancashire.
Although Sam is short haired, it was extremely thick and clumpy down his back and sides. Sam wouldn’t let mum and dad touch these spots, so it was impossible for them to make a difference.
Our approach was to clip away areas which couldn’t easily be brushed out – as Sam wasn’t the most patient of chaps. He was very vocal, and it is fair to say that he wasn’t keen on the grooming idea !
However, now he is clump free he will definitely feel much better about himself and the hair will grow back beautifully.
our radek
We recently saw another little favourite boy of ours. A few months ago Radek had some of his coat clipped away, but now it’s all grown back beautifully.
Radek is a Persian, and he has such a thick, long coat. Both Radek and mum Lorraine from Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside have really kept on top of the grooming and Radek was tangle free. We gave his coat a real good brush out to thin it out and remove the dead undercoat.
Radek was very calm and not only patient – some of the positions he put himself into really helped ! Flat on his back, with 4 legs in the air, of his own accord ….
We really should have got a photo of that ! Maybe next time ? ….. watch this space !
the shah
Who’s the boss ? A delightful 15 month old Persian, that’s who !
Our Services were called upon to work through the Shah’s coat. We clipped some areas away that couldn’t be saved, and brushed out the rest. Although the Shah loves his dad to brush him, he wasn’t as keen on our clippers. However – overall – the Shah did really well.
What he did love however, was his photo being taken afterwards …. Quite the little poser ! Here he is investigating what he’d missed whilst being inside – and playing in the sunshine, after his session.
Later, dad Tony from Little Hulton, Salford, Greater Manchester said :
“Sandra came round today, for her second visit to the SHAH. He can be very self opinionated, but she did a really good job with him. He is a long haired Persian who rules my house, but she had the knack of working with him and although he tried to fight, she was really calm with him at all times and left him back with me totally stress free. He has booked in for another grooming before Christmas. Thank you Sandra”
….. and here is the Shah in his recently acquired cat house ….. he’s just checking it out !
A real pleasure to work with the young man, Tony. Looking forward to our next visit already !
cheeky charlie
Meet Charlie. At around 2 years old he’s quite a solid young man, with a big attitude ! He’s been with his current mum about a month, and obviously now thinks he is in charge of the household !
Charlie is an indoor cat and his nails were in need of attention. As far as we know, this was the first time Charlie had had them trimmed, and it’s fair to say he didn’t think highly of the situation. However, a few Dreamies helped along the way …
herbie and jasper
These 2 beauties are 1 year old Herbie (white) and Jasper (tabby), who is almost 3 years. Both lovely, mild mannered boys who enjoy mum combing them each day. You really can tell, as their coats were lovely and knot free. They just needed a good comb through to rid them of excess dead undercoat.
Herbie’s coat is so silky and although a little nervous to begin with, with mum’s cuddles and sweet talk, he calmed and lay patiently whilst we worked through his coat.
Jasper’s coat is much thicker and he really did loose an enormous amount of hair … His tummy will really benefit and no doubt he will feel so much better in himself. Here he is – relaxing and smiling away – after his groom. 
Here on the left is the dead hair that came away from Jasper’s coat.
A few days later, mum Claire from Stockport, Greater Manchester said :
“It was their first time being groomed and they had both had a fairly stressful week with Jasper having an overnight stay at the vets due to poor breathing. Needless to say they were both fairly anxious and Jasper proved a little difficult to handle. I’d like to say thank you for your perseverance with him, he is now much happier and calmer and his breathing is back to normal with without all that excess fluff. Herbie looks as though he’s been washed in Daz he’s so white ! Once again thank you for your professional approach and attention to detail. I look forward to seeing you soon.”
Thanks for the feedback, Claire … Can’t wait to see your boys again !
sweet as soda
Soda from Blackburn, Lancashire is a handsome 11 month old Ragdoll cross who had developed a few tangles under his armpits, and on his tummy/trousers. We clipped away what couldn’t be saved. The rest of his coat was in tip top condition as mum regularly brushes him through.
It’s fair to say that Soda was a little fidgety – think he’d rather have been playing out with his brother Whiskey – but we’re sure he’ll reap the rewards and feel much better from the session.
Look at that fantastic tail ! ……..
naughty and pb
A couple of our favourite babes here – Naughty (black and white) and PB (aka Pretty Boy).
Both quickly settled into their session, remembering from last time what it’s all about. Although Naughty is short haired and is groomed regularly, she lost a lot of dead undercoat during the session. PB’s hair is much longer. We teased out some small tangles and gave him a serious brush out.
Both are bound to feel so much better after their grooms. Well done Naughty and PB ! See you again soon ….
