My Approach

Cat Tales is a house call grooming service dedicated to understanding the intricate world of feline behavior and individual personalities. Every cat is unique, with distinct temperaments, preferences, comfort levels & limitations. My approach centers on studying those behavioral nuances to develop customized grooming techniques and select the appropriate tools that cater specifically to each cat’s individual needs.

Behind that approach is more than a decade of grooming experience and training .

What Sets Me Apart

Cat Tales is house call. I come to you. Your cat never has to be loaded into a carrier, driven across town, or handed to a stranger in an unfamiliar building. I groom in your home, in a space your cat already knows, and I leave it exactly as I found it.

Cat Tales is fear free. Fear free means the cat’s emotional experience matters as much as the finished groom. I work with cats, never on them. I find each cat’s comfort level and stay inside it, and when a cat tells me they’ve had enough, we stop. Fear is a response, not a behavior problem.

Personalized Care Plans. I assess each cat’s personality, stress triggers, and comfort zones to create a grooming experience that minimizes anxiety while maximizing results. That might mean a package on a 4 or 6 week schedule, a one time groom to get your cat comfortable with the process, or anything in between. There is no single right answer, and no cat gets forced into someone else’s routine.

Behavior Based Techniques. By incorporating my understanding of feline psychology, I adapt my methods to work with your cat’s natural instincts rather than against them. The cat guides the tools, the techniques, the pace, and the areas that need a lighter touch.

Comfort First. My fear free training ensures that every interaction prioritizes your cat’s emotional well being, creating positive associations with grooming that last a lifetime.

The Convenience of Home Service. No carrier. No car. No chaos.
