    Even when you’re at the top of your game, there’s always more to learn. That’s why I’ve teamed up with a group of Certified Feline Master Groomers to launch a brand-new book club series on Pussy Talk. Together, we’re breaking down Decoding Your Cat by the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists—chapter by chapter—exploring how the science of feline behavior directly applies to grooming.

    We’ll dive into the insights, share real-world applications, and talk about why continuing education is so vital in our industry. Whether you’re a fellow professional groomer, a student of feline behavior, or just a cat lover who wants to better understand your companion, this series is for you.

    Tune in, learn alongside us, and discover how education keeps us sharp, compassionate, and at the top of our craft.

    Your Host: Mercedes Schenk CFMG

    Guests: Shana Marchant CFMG, Anastasia Brower CFMG, Sandra Porter-Gonyea CFMG, and JZ Conrad CFMG and Feline Behavioral Specialist

    I don't have all the answers, but I can sure tell you about some ish that happened today. Being a professional is hard enough, but being a trailblazer in a niche trade is rough stuff. We're all out there doing the best that we can by these animals, and the biggest support we have is one another.

    Starting January 1, 2024, many businesses are now required to comply with the Corporate Transparency Act which requires the disclosure of the beneficial ownership information (“BOI”) of certain entities from people who own or control a company. The goal of this new requirement is to help combat money laundering, terrorism, and other illegal activities.

    Tell the truth, and nothing but the truth. The Grooming Industry should be collaborative, not competitive. When we lie we not only do ourselves an injustice, but the animals in our care as well.
