Darcy is a giant teddy bear! He's so placid. He 'kind of' tolerated the grooming process for 1hr! (there were a few growls..) Bless him, think i'd be a bit peeved too!  :evillaugh:

My mum says he's a big softie really!  :Luv2:

Just what I thought  :rofl: :rofl:

Hiya Pauline,

My mum has filled me in. Sounds and looks like a different cat!  ;D  Can't wait to see him..

She was thrilled with all the advice you gave her  ;)  I'm sure Darcy will be even happier now he's been to the hairdressers!  :evillaugh:

Hayley, when I said don't shave, I meant not to shave routinely (as I know a lot of persian breeders/owners do), but if the coat is matted, shaving is sometimes the only option, sorry, didnt make that clear  :doh:


Oh okay, well we will certainly have that as an option then, if she can't manage to de-knot his coat!

Thanks Gillian  ;)

Anyway, he is gorgeous  :Luv2: :Luv2: 


He is rather isn't he??  :Luv2:

Anyway, he is gorgeous  :Luv2: :Luv2: If the coat isnt actually matted, but just very thick and lots of loose fur, I'd comb it out with a Mikki Matt Breaker - despite its name as a 'matt' breaker, it works better used like a comb and it will remove all the loose, dead fur. Finish off with a slicker brush to take off any surface loose fur. http://www.ukpetsupplies.com/Details.aspx?CatId=1371&ParentId=525&ProdId=3392

You could try UK pets for groomers in your area http://ukpets.co.uk/ or phone round some of the local dog groomers and see if they do cats as well (make sure they have either 'cats only' days or a room for grooming cats that is completely away from the sight and sound of dogs. Or see if any local vets know a reputable cat groomer.

Here's a piccy of him. Not sure whether he's bad enough to warrant shaving, my mum has been advised against doing that  :-:

If he is very matted it might be worth getting the vet to shave him then she can start from fresh.

Hi all

My mum has recently rehomed a Persian (Mr Darcy) and his coat is a bit of a mess. I think she would benefit from having him professionally groomed so that it makes it easier for her to carry on and keep his coat in tip-top condition as she is knew to looking after such a high maintenance furry!  :sneaky:

Does anyone know of a good cat groomer in the Nottingham area??

Many thanks
Hayley  ;)
