Long and Short Haired Cats Welcome!
You may ask yourself “why I should go to a groomer if I have a short haired cat”? Well … as most of us know, cats moult! Especially at certain times of the year, so it often helps to visit a professional groomer, thereby reducing the risk of fur balls. But grooming cats is about much more than this … as, for many cats, a good massage or just simple human contact can be beneficial in helping your cat to relax and be at ease with other people. In addition, massage can improve his/her coat and skin condition, due to the stimulation of natural oils which can help prevent dandruff. I like to encourage owners to do this on a regular basis at home for reasons just mentioned, but with the added advantage that any changes on your cat’s body (such as lumps) can be detected early. I can also check your cat’s claws and trim them if required. Long haired cats can be groomed in many ways. The most common grooms are a simple comb and brush out of dead, moulting hair, or even a shave down. Many owners opt for the latter when their cat’s coat is knotted or matted.
Some cat owners choose to have a lion cut groom as it makes their cute little kitty look like a wild cat of the jungle. So if you would like your cat groomed but aren’t sure what is best for your cat, then please contact me and I will also do my very best to help.

So don’t forget … as your local cat groomer in Norton Cross, I can groom your cat in my purpose built parlour!
I can offer anything from just simple combing and brushing, through to scissoring and clipping – I look forward to seeing you and your feline friend. 

Top Tips and Advice Before and After Grooming

Most Cat owners have never been shown how to groom their cat, and mostly only seem to concentrate on the outter top layer of fur. This means they don't comb brush the underlayer of the coat, which can lead to matted coats. Once the matting starts. Pelting is a hard matt against the skin,which is very painful to your cat. Pelts are formed when lots of matts join togeter over a period of time, Pelts cannot be combed or brushed oust, it is impossible to do so and have to be removed by shaving them off the body of the cat. Pelting can be found under the arms or front legs of your cat, chest, tummy, under the chin, around the bottom area and down the back legs.The top of your cats coat can look fine, that is why regular daily combing and brushing of your pet is a great idea. It helps you identify when there are knots or the start of matting. Ideally that is when you should involve a professional cat groomer to remove the knots and matts before things get out of control and cause your cat a great deal of pain and discomfort. If your cat  needs saving down to remove matts or pelts you may notice them cleaning and licking themselves more as before it was impossible for them to clean themselves whilst they where matted etc. Also they might feel the cold if the heavy matted coat has been removed and they are left with a very short coat. Another point to consider is... if you have another pet or cat in the house they may not recognise the cat that has had to be shaved down, not because they look different, but because they smell different. ie all the horrid smelly hair has been removed and your cat is clean.
