Memory Lane Monday : Say a big Hi to this little mischievous kitten, Sophie. Sophie is 7 months old and is a cream Persian who lives with her mum in Burnley, Lancashire.
Sophie was very inquisitive when we arrived at her house. We set up stall and she said she’d never seen anything like it before ! Doing her best to be in and out of the bags, begging to know exactly what was going on….
Sophie’s mum is a bit of a novice with cats, but she’s done a good job over the last few months keeping up with Sophie’s coat.
It took Sophie a good few minutes before she understood what was required of her on the grooming table. ie – Chill and Relax ! … but the little chick managed it, whilst we got to work underneath – teasing out a few tangles, and clipping away a couple of small mats that had formed. We brushed out the rest of her coat, which will begin to get denser now the winter months are approaching.
Afterwards, Sophie just couldn’t stay away. She has a very strong personality and had to be told time and time again to get out of / stay away from bags. Cheeky girl !
Mum Lorna said “Lovely to meet you and to say I was absolutely delighted with Sophie after you had finished her first groom. I thought that she was quite well groomed by myself BUT what a difference it made to her when groomed by you. Her hair was so soft and lovely and she looked so proud to show off her coat!!. You also helped me by giving me advice on how to brush and comb properly and I am looking forward to her next appointment (as I am sure Sophie is too). You have a natural flair for handling cats and getting their confidence very quickly and I am so pleased I was recommended to you and I would recommend you to everyone who has a cat.”
