mischievous malty
A big welcome to this lovely Siberian (Siberian Forest Cat) Malty in Bispham, Lancashire.
We met Malty last year, when we called to groom his brother. At that point Malty was only 8 months old – still a kitten, who enjoyed being combed. As time has progressed Malty has decided that actually he’s not as keen, and now has a little bit of a teenage attitude about him when it comes to grooming.
Saying that, Malty is lucky in that he has a really nice coat. However, some knotty areas had developed underneath. We began the session quite calmly. Under protest – but Malty managed to remain still whilst we got rid of the worst of the matting. He then decided that enough was enough, and he’d rather be playing out. We told him (very nicely !) that he needs to learn that he can’t always have his own way – and that if he’s going to get anywhere in this life with his long coat, he needs to accept some brushing ! He’s such a friendly boy, he should be enjoying this special 1:1 time with mum.
We’ll see if Malty’s listened when we meet up with him again during the summer … !
