worried about your cat’s matted coat ?
We’ve worked with many cats with matted coats, including lots of older ones. If the coat isn’t brushed out adequately, it often results in mats forming particularly around the thickest areas of the body – flanks, thighs, trousers – and that hard to reach tummy area ! Also, as a cat gets older it’s often the case that arthritis develops, making self grooming more difficult or impossible.
If you are worried about your cat’s coat, the best thing to do if get in touch to discuss the options. Basically, the problem won’t solve itself and will only get worse over time. We can discuss brushing out and saving whatever hair is possible, and clipping away the areas that are beyond brushing. We never use sedation in our sessions.
We went to see Tess in Wigan, Lancashire. Following the session, mum Kath and dad Neil said :
Sandra came to our home to groom Tess our 20 year old cat. Tess was in a really bad way with densely matted hair along her back and hind quarters due to old age and an arthritic condition. So, we really thought Sandra may not be able to deal with her extreme condition. Tess must have been one of the worst cases Sandra has had to deal with, but deal with her she did and in a truly empathetic yet professional way. There was no rushing or hurrying, Sandra spent hours on her even though it was a really hot day. The special care Sandra took whilst grooming Tess, we feel made it a positive experience for her. Friends and family cannot believe the difference in Tess, she looks and acts like a cat half her age. It’s given her a new lease of life! We can’t express our thanks enough to Sandra , we both feel very lucky to have found her.
We would love to help you, with your cat’s coat, too. Please get in touch !
