Snapshot 1 (09-06-2014 21-44) Victor 090614This lovely young man is a 4 year old Red Siberian called Victor who lives with his litter brother and family in Salford, Manchester.

DSCN2805B Victor 040614 cropped+(c) + writing and outline combinedWe were called in to meet up with Victor as his coat had developed mats around his body.  The top part of his body (down his back) was pelted.  Once the knots start, they can literally come on so quickly and take over.  We’ve seen this so many times, with cats that we’ve worked with  A large part of the rest of his coat had ad-hoc mats.  We decided to clip away the problem areas, and save what was possible.

As the clipping was quite tough, we decided to break the session into two.  This was so we had a fresh start a few days later, to work around the back end and finish off underneath.   On the second session, Victor settled much more quickly – again ‘helping’ out !

He can now reach some areas that he hasn’t seen for some time and he’s feeling much lighter and fresher !   If you come over to our facebook  page, you can see a short video clip of Victor on the grooming table, and post session.

Afterwards, mum Anna said :

“Just wanted to say thanks again for giving Victor a much-needed haircut !  He already seems so much happier, and as you can see, he and Clyde are back to being the best of friends…no more hissing !   No doubt Victor was one of your more ‘challenging’ customers, but you were so calm and patient with him and managed to do an absolutely fantastic job !  I really appreciate it, and I’m sure that Victor secretly does too and will greet you with purring next time rather than channeling his inner Houdini !  Thanks again 🙂 xx“

Well done Victor … You were very brave and we are all really proud of you !!
