I have the pleasure of grooming two Maine Coon cats, Rhett and JR, every 8 weeks. Their mom is one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met and she loves her boys very much. Although I rarely offer housecall service anymore, they are still on my rotation and I thoroughly enjoy our visits. None more so than last Saturday when as I was bathing JR I suddenly heard Rhett outside the laundry room door meowing incessantly to come back inside.
To say it’s rare for a cat to want to join the groom party is a true enough statement. To have a cat return to the area after it’s already been fluffed and dried, et al. Well, that’s downright remarkable. And that’s exactly what these boys are… remarkable. Such loving creatures and Gorgeous! Rhett is a fantastic brown tabby and JR is a fabulous red tabby. I just love the long flowing tails of the Maine Coon. Their muzzles are so strong and totally kissable. More often than not their personalities truly warrant the nickname of “Gentle Giants”. So there I am bathing an awesome cat while another awesome cat is hanging out around my feet. It was cat grooming bliss for me. As I finished cleaning up I sprinkled some catnip on the rug and made my way to the front door. Rhett and JR were sitting together in the parlor by the entryway. I paused with my client as we admired how handsome they are after their beauty sessions. For more than a decade I’ve been able to spend time with this family and that is one of the many perks of my chosen profession. I can honestly say, “I love my job!”
Cats Rule!! Purrs,
