Ragdoll Aarib had a light Session today in Preston, Lancashire.

Aarib's coat was regrowing nicely after his Lion Clip in the Spring, but it wasn't holding too much undercoat.

See you again soon, Aarib !

... and that's another of Angel's 9 lives spent ... ! 🙀

This is Angel - who hopped onboard a 4am train to Manchester Airport from Yorkshire unbeknown to her owner 😯
She was first spotted walking along the platform with her 'tail held high' by conductor Will. But Shortly after departure, a passenger informed Will that she had jumped aboard 👀
Despite the concern she caused, Angel herself seemed unfazed by the journey, following Will through the carriages and greeting passengers 👑. On arrival at Manchester Airport she was kept safe in the station office before Will's partner arrived with a cat carrier to take her back to their house in Stockport. She was then driven back to be reunited with her family.
And it seems Angel - who is 15 - is somewhat of a 'local legend' back in Brighouse.
She's previously been spotted riding a rail replacement bus and making herself at home in the local pub, earning quite the reputation among locals for her independent streak. But this was her first time on the train to Manchester 🐱
An independent lady - Stay safe Angel ❤️

Maine C**n Aslan was ready for his Session today in Chorley, Lancashire. It wasn't a day too soon !

Aslan is a BIG boy and we worked through his huge coat which took a while.

He was chilled and distracted by yoghurt treats and now he's all comfy for another few weeks.

Nice one, Aslan !

Maine C**n Gertie was such a good girl during her Session today in Wigan, Greater Manchester.

We had a huge Brush Out and a Belly Clip to keep her comfy and see her over the next few weeks.

Here's Ragdoll Skye in Blackburn, Lancashire - feeling great after his Lion Clip.

Skye is a little cautious at first but then grows some quiet confidence.

Great Session, Skye !

Young Felicity had a work through today in Chorley, Lancashire.

We removed one or two lumps and bumps and tidied her up ready for the impending, thicker Autumn months.

Felicity finds her Sessions less of an event these days. She managed to lay this way and that, enjoying chin scratches and sweet talk along the way.

Ragdoll Jack had an almighty de-floof today in Blackburn, Lancashire.

An almighty de-floof it was, but on the Jack scale it was relatively light (his summer coat).

He's always a very chatty boy and he probably had a sore throat after the groom !

Here's Siberian Forest Cat Flower in Chorley, Lancashire.

Last Session, Flower had needed a Lion Clip to relieve her of her coat.

Today, that was regrowing beautifully and was already thick, but not fully grown in length.

We called in again to see Siberian Forest Cat Caspar in Burnley, Lancashire.

Caspar is such a sweet boy, but he's very strong minded. He has been ever since he was a tot !

Here is the boy ...

This is Toby in Wigan, Greater Manchester and he was ready for his maintenance Session.

Toby doesn't find his Sessions easy but, it's lovely to hear that he is now not just accepting, but wanting fuss and attention. He's allowing himself to be picked up for snuggles !

Today, we caught up again with Norwegian Forest Cat Loki in Chorley, Lancashire.

Loki's coat was regrowing nicely where we'd clipped mats away last time. He went with the flow and we had a Brush Out, Tummy Trim and tidy up.

Well done, Loki !

Memory Lane Monday : We were asked to meet up with 8 month old Fudge. Fudge is a red Siberian Forest Cat who lives with his brother and family in Wigan, Greater Manchester.

A more friendly chap you could not meet ! The night before our afternoon session, Fudge has been out all night and didn’t turn up at home until about an hour before we began. Just in time for a nice relaxing groom ! On the left is a piccie of Fudge before the session, helping mum complete the paperwork !

We attended to some small matted areas under Fudge’s armpits and on his inner thighs. Fudge wasn’t phased one bit by the clippers. He lay contently on the grooming table – snoozing for the most part – whilst we clipped and combed away, and rid him of bits of bracken and sticky bobs that he’d brought in on his coat.

After the session, mum Bex said “Sandra did an amazing job grooming Fudge and trimming his knotty fur. He was very relaxed around Sandra and warmed to her immediately. He looked beautiful when finished and enjoyed all the pampering. He will be looking forward to the next visit !”

(Very sadly, Fudge was taken far too young and is now sleeping with the stars. Rest well, sweet Fudge).
