Say Hello to sweet James, a 13 years old Domestic Short Hair (DSH) from Swinton, Manchester – who called us in to have a look at his coat.
James is quite a big boy – on the larger size of medium. He isn’t really used to be handled by others, and is quite timid in nature. However, once on our grooming table James settled down. He didn’t mind his nails being trimmed, and lay patiently watching the world go by through the window whilst we set about giving him a good brush out. James’ fur was starting to clump in places, so really we caught him just in time to avoid any mats forming.
A couple of days after the session, we received a lovely message from James himself :
“Hi – My mommy asked me to send you an email to say thank you for tidying up my coat.
I was a bit scared at first when mommy said you were coming to the house to sort me out and I’m sorry that I had wee where I shouldn’t and tried to run off. But we soon got to know each other; the special cat relaxation music you played was lovely – I soon chilled out and felt so much better as you gently combed my coat and tickled my ears and tummy.
I was sorry when it all came to an end, my doggy friend Jasper was jealous and says I smelt like a girl but I don’t care…my new coat is lovely and so much easier for me to manage because before you came it was getting hard for me to clean on my own and I used to get really upset when I couldn’t reach the parts that other cats can reach.
And now I’m the talk of the neighbourhood with my shiny coat – a proper bobby dazzler…I even got a couple of wolf whistles from the Labrador across the road.
Mommy says she’d like you to come back soon… I’d like it if you could come back every day!!
Thank you very much – James xx”
You did really well, James – very proud of you and it’d be lovely to see you again …. Just tell Mommy, when you’re ready and we’ll sort it out !
