Just a normal regular dry groom for Bagheera and her sister Agatha today.

Bagheera has such a hauuuge fluffy coat that she needs a regular de-shed or she gets matted on her sides, underneath, her behind and legs so this regular groom keeps the pesky mats at bay.

Prevention is always better than treatment I always say so get your kitties booked in now for their pre winter coat de-shed before it's too late. 🐈 😺 ⏰

I think she's trying to lick that lick e lix off of her cheek πŸ˜†.

Elderly lady Cookie (17) had a bolera cut today.
Cookie has been with her new owners just over a year and they are still trying to find their feet with her grooming needs. She's not an easy old lady 🫣.
She's also recently been given some pain meds for her arthritis so hopefully this cut will help make her feel a little better too. πŸ₯°

The gorgeous Frank the Persian recently lost his brother to kidney failure 😒. The boys have been used to having regular lion clips at the vets but today Frank had a few pesky mats removed by me and a bit of a longer plushier cut to keep him happy over the winter months.
Next time we are going to try and opt for a teddy cut, as long as there are no sneaky mats.

Whilst I do appreciate that cats need their coats for various reasons, I also believe that some cats really are happier without such huge coats to deal with, Frank is one of these cats. πŸ₯°

We want to help shape the future of cat grooming in the UK…and my researcher brain simply refuses to switch off 😹

There is still so much we don’t know about what UK cat owners actually want from professional grooming: what services they can access, what they value, what they can realistically afford, how often they would use them, and what might currently be stopping them from doing so.

And, as someone with a PhD, my instinct when asking questions like these is always the same: collect the data.

So PURR is launching a UK-wide Cat Grooming Survey to better understand the needs, experiences and expectations of cat owners across the country.

This will help us make smarter decisions as PURR grows, but we also want the research to be useful beyond our own business. Once the survey has closed and the responses have been analysed, we’ll make a summary of the findings publicly available so that the data can help inform the wider cat grooming and pet care industry too.

The survey is completely anonymous, with the option to leave your email address separately if you would like to enter our prize draw.

🎁 One randomly selected participant will win a PURR prize bundle including:
β€’ Our brand-new PURR candle scent created with Cosy Cat Candles πŸ‘€
β€’ A cat scratcher toy of their choice (laptop, DJ deck and more)
β€’ A PURR tote bag

The survey is open to cat owners across the UK, whether you currently use a professional groomer, have used one in the past, or have never considered grooming your cat before.

And please share the survey far and wide. The more cat owners we hear from, across different locations, budgets and experiences, the more useful and representative the findings can be.

πŸ“… Survey closes: 1 October 2026
πŸ† Prize winner notified by email: 2 October 2026

Just wanted to say there are some lovely lovely people in the world. πŸ₯°

A lovely client of mine, who I only actually met on Tuesday, (the day before my birthday), to groom her cat for the first time surprised me with this lovely little gift after I'd finished grooming her gorgeous rescue cat Tigger. 😊

I must have let slip when booking him in that it was my birthday the day after but what a lovely thing to do for someone you don't know. It really made my day and finished my day on a lovely high so thank you so much Tigger, my winter coffees in the car are sorted and I look forward to seeing you again soon.😺πŸ₯°

Just spent 2 amazing days at Purr cat grooming Ltd, Glasgow with the lovely Brittnee for a training workshop and updated my feline first aid training whilst I was there.

My head is spinning πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸŒ€πŸ€ͺwith new ideas and possibilities I have learnt and I can't wait to try some of them out on your lovely kitties. 🐾 Watch this space 😸

What a difference a bath πŸ› makes πŸ₯°!

Grease Alert!

This super sweet little dood Oscar, the 5 year old Maine c**n, has the greasiest coat I have ever come across. It's sooooo greasy that it doesn't feel nice to stroke him 😿.

In the past, this has been a huge problem with him matting all over. He has had a lion cut the last twice as it got so greasy and matted everywhere.

Today though, we caught it just in the nick of time. He had a degreasing treatment put on him before two washes of shampoo, no conditioner though as this boy definitely does not need that.

Its hard to believe it's the same cat 🐈 and his owner was utterly thrilled with the results.

Check out the before and after pics below . πŸ‘‡

πŸ’‘ I have decided, from now on, I will only post pictures and stories of unusual cats 😺 or grooms or ones I feel need to be posted such as these two sweet boys, Frank and Arthur.

Please check your kitties tummies especially in the warmer months. As we know cats are not massive fans of having their tummies groomed but today I have seen some of the worst tight mats on tummies I have ever seen that took ages and a lot of time and skill to get off.

Thankfully these two lovelies πŸ₯° were gorgeous and were quite happy to let me get them off for them but this is not always the case. Mats pull on the skin and become painful, restrict movement and hide and also cause skin issues.

If your cat is prone to a matted tummy then book them in for a regular tummy trim. Prevention is always better than treatment. πŸ˜‰

Gorgeous nervous boy Theo, the Persian chinchilla had some de-matting work done recently.

His mum usually manages his thick coat herself but this year his mats had gotten too big and too many for her to deal with and he had got to the point where he wouldn't let her touch some of them so she called me in.

At first glance I thought a lion cut would be needed but thankfully I was able to spot shave them out. The worst ones were around his back hips and bottom area.

Theo did really well. Now his mum can get back to giving him a good brush now that those nasty mats are all gone.

Doesn't he look like butter wouldn't melt 🫠.

Gorgeous, playful boy Simba, the half Maine c**n, had a wet groom πŸ› 🐈 this afternoon. He did marvellously well πŸ™πŸ™ŒπŸ˜Ίand actually preferred the drying box to the handheld drier.

Here he is all wet, and then nearly dry just chilling out inside the box. Once he was done he continued to roll around and play and eat my hand. πŸ₯°

The drying box isn’t for all cats, I find most prefer the handheld dryer but in this case it was the other way round.

His sister however, didn’t do so well πŸ™ˆ so no wet groom for her today, but that’s okay, it’s not for everyone!
