Grooming at Home for Maximum Comfort
Most cats don’t just dislike grooming — they fear the entire process, from sensing their carrier to traveling to a grooming parlour. Being in their safe space can make them feel safer and more confident when it comes to grooming. As a cat guardian myself, I really like that the cats I groom can chill in their favourite corner right after the session!
Understanding Every Cat’s Needs
Every cat is unique, and I take into consideration of their personality, sensitivities, and comfort level before starting any grooming. Whether your cat companion is shy, nervous, or easily overstimulated, I adjust my approach to ensure a positive experience.
Preventing Fear, Not Just Managing It
Rather than handling aggression, I focus on prevention — recognising early signs of discomfort and adapting my methods to keep cat stays calm. This approach helps reduce fear over time, for a happier and more comfortable future grooming sessions.
Fear-Free Grooming
What is it and why choose fear-free Grooming?
Minimising Stress and Anxiety
Prioritising your cat’s comfort, trust, and
well-being — instead of just focusing on
'getting it done'.
I observe your cat’s behaviour from the moment
I arrive, using the FAS (Fear, Anxiety, and Stress) scale to guide how I approach each step.
Personalised Grooming
Taking time to understand your cat as an individual and noting down their body language, sensitivities, and triggers to guide future sessions.
Adapting the techniques, pace, and handling to suit their specific needs such as a playful kitten, a cautious adult, or a fragile senior.
Gentle Handling
Focusing on building trust through calm, respectful touch and supportive techniques.
Using minimal restraint, soft hands, and a slower pace means I’m always working with
your cat — not against them.
Kindness and Respect
Fear-Free grooming isn’t just about technique — it’s about treating your cat like the sentient, sensitive being they are.
Kindness is an intentional choice to protect your
cat’s emotional well-being during grooming.
Respect is meeting them where they are, without
judgement or force.
