There's a recent study that finds men who post photos of themselves with cats in dating apps are less likely to get matches than others. But for pet groomer Desmond Chan, he doesn't get why this is so. 'Oh really? I didn't know that,' the bemused 34-year-old tells AsiaOne at Hey Good Cat, a pet grooming studio in Joo Chiat...

"Oh really? I didn't know that," the bemused 34-year-old tells AsiaOne at Hey Good Cat, a pet grooming studio in Joo Chiat he owns"I thought a loving photo with their pets would be more attractive for their partners."

"At the end of the day, it requires you to express your creativity. It also allows you to build your nurturing side as well."Desmond loves his mixed shih-tzu Chocolate — so much so that he has a tattoo of the pooch on his arm."After adopting Chocolate in 2009, I sent him for grooming at a studio around my place. But it wasn't a good experience [for the both of us]," recalls Desmond.

"I thought we could do better and care more about the animals' well-being during the grooming session," he says."The boss was quite pleased because some dogs can be quite big and heavy. So having physical strength has helped me cope with the animals," he says.Months after setting up their first pet grooming studio Bubbly Petz in 2014, Desmond started getting requests from other pet owners — or "guardians" as he calls them — to groom their cats.

And while he might not profess himself to be a cat whisperer, Desmond says "good job" to the felines while washing them and gets meows of agreement in return.
