This little beauty was in for his first puppy groom. What a star ⭐.
As you can see in the before pic his coat was in need of a trim. Not a knotted hair in sight thus allowing me to give a nice cut 😍
He was great with the grooming process as his owner has been getting him use to getting washed, hair dryer and brushing. Pups can sometimes be overwhelmed but definitely not bingo. He done great.

Quick tip to help make your cat's next grooming session a lot less stressful:
One of the most common issues I see is owners
underestimating how important regular brushing is between appointments—especially for long-haired cats.�Brushing not only helps prevent matting, but also keeps the skin healthy and makes the grooming process much smoother and calmer for your cat.
Some cats enjoy being groomed, while others aren’t as keen—and that’s totally fine. We always work at your cat’s pace. Feel free to message me with any questions you may have regarding this.

My First Encounter with a Cat
My first encounter with a cat was... not a good one. Let me tell you.
Short story: When I was a child, my family and I went to the local pet shop to pick out a kitten. We chose this adorable tiger-striped kitten—so cute, we thought! Well… it turned out that the kitten we picked was completely wild. Feral.
Needless to say, when we got home and opened the car door, the kitten saw its chance, bolted like a rocket, and disappeared. We didn’t see it again for a few weeks.
That experience could’ve put me off cats for life—but it didn’t.

Today, we have two tame cats: one with a short coat and one with a long coat. Each has their own unique personality (I could write all day about them, but I won’t bore you!). Our long-haired cat requires more regular brushing, which I really enjoy. It’s therapeutic—for both the cats and me.

Cat grooming is a completely different experience from dog grooming, requiring its own set of techniques and a patient approach. I’m thrilled to offer professional cat grooming services, helping pet owners keep their cats’ coats healthy, clean, and well-maintained.

Thanks for reading

Cats
A lot of people have been contacting me recently regarding matting on their cats.

What is Matting?
It’s small knots that have formed over time and clump together, leading to bigger chunks of hair becoming Matted. These are tight to the cats skin and uncomfortable for the cat. The cats can’t remove these so it’s up to us humans to sort them matts.
So if your cats hair needs attention please get in touch and we can discuss what’s the best way to deal with it.
