This little beauty required a full shave. She had developed lots of matting in her coat, and some of it had joined together to create a hard, impenetrable lump (pelting).

This can be a scary groom with lots of handling and manoeuvring in very strange positions for kitty (of course all careful and skilled techniques). The sound of the clippers, the vibrations, the agitation to the skin from feeling the matt coming away. 😮‍💨 Phew! Kitties gotta be brave for this stuff. And she was 🛡️ 🥇 She was so good, so calm, and seemed to understand that what I was doing was releasing the hairy hitchhikers on her back.

🤍 It’s also really important to acknowledge that my owners’ haven’t neglected their cats. They are in loving homes. With age, health, circumstance and ease of grooming all being relevant factors for cats in how their coat care needs can be met at home. Including my owners’ own challenges.

💡 It’s better to seek professional help where the groomer has been trained to groom ethically, responsibly and skilfully, rather than trying to tackle a task that could leave you both upset and potentially harmed.

I'll be abroad from 18th August and back to work on 27th August.

All messages will be responded to as soon as I am able on my return.

As reminder, I am not taking any new bookings at present, with a full rotation of regular clients. I will of course update when this changes.

Happy summer everyone!

Local feline behaviourist, Lucy Hoile. Check out her project if you’ve got a new furry family member 👇

Have you got a naughty kitten?

🐱 I’m filming the pilot episode of a brand new YouTube series — and I’m looking for our first little troublemaker!

I’m looking for a family local to Hampshire, UK, with a kitten under 12 months old who is keeping them on their toes.

Maybe they’re biting, scratching, ambushing, climbing everything in sight, waking everyone up, or generally behaving like a tiny furry menace. 😂

For the pilot, I’ll be spending around one hour with the kitten and family, getting to know them, watching their behaviour and working out what’s really going on. I’ll then help the family find practical solutions they can put into place to help get them on track.

The visit will be filmed for my YouTube channel, so I’m looking for a family who would be comfortable being on camera and sharing their experience.

If you have a kitten who sounds like a good candidate — or know someone who does — please comment below or send me a message with a little bit about them and where you’re based.

I’m really excited about this series and can’t wait to meet our first little troublemaker! 🧡

Regular pusscat Albie, with a massive coat to deshed. Such a sweet boy, and as often is the case (for some reason), my ragdoll clients love a good roll about on the groom matt. I prep it with valerian based scent therapy.
