Choosing
A Creative Cat

any say they would do creative
cat grooming if only they had
the right cat. A while back, I
made inquiries in cat grooming groups in
search of a new creative cat. One person
responded, “Creative Cats are one in a
million.”
My beautiful creative cat, Tatianna chose
me. When I looked at her litter, I had
no desire for the blue kitten, however
she kept coming over to me, crawling
into my lap and did not leave me alone.
Nine years later, I started grooming cats.
Tatianna was a great sport! She was a
fabulous model for my business, Kitty’s
Purrfect Spa. It was not long until I started
creative grooming.
Tatianna was a very cooperative creative
cat. Many of her creative grooms had
covered her entire body. She was a
Dragonfly, Sea Turtle, Christmas Display,
Queen of Hearts, Umbrella: plus several
other small designs. She had traveled to
Davis, CA for my CFCG practical test
and several years to Pasadena, CA to
Groom Expo West as a demo cat. Then
I retired her and she passed later that
year.
