Who remembers Tess ?
We’ve met up with Tess in Wigan, Greater Manchester a couple of times before, and it was nice to see her again this month. Tess is now the fantastic age of 21 !! Key of the door, and all of that … !
We were called in originally as Tess had developed some matted areas around her body, which needed to be removed. Due to her age, her vet had been unable to help as anaesthetic wasn’t an option. So, we worked gently with her to make her more comfortable. Although Tess wasn’t pleased during the session, she did seem to understand what we were doing. She preferred the clippers to the combs, and sat patiently in stretches whilst we took off the mats.
Today’s session was a maintenance groom. When we arrived, Tess was ever so friendly, and had a good nosey at the bags and equipment. If she did remember the last session, it certainly didn’t phase her. Tess is a Persian Cross, and as such her coat is very thick and dense. It is only a matter of weeks since we last saw her, but she was definitely ready for the brush out. Her coat was tough to comb through, but very pleasingly we did manage to fully comb – rather than need the clippers. Again, Tess wasn’t best pleased, but we know she’ll now be feeling so much better for it.
Afterwards, Tess went immediately to top up at the filling station. Well – it’s tough for a cat to have to wait so long between snacks (!) – then she came back into the room where we’d held the session, and we had a good head rub and fuss. Tess definitely looked pleased with her little self !
Why don’t you pop over to our facebook page where you can see a video clip of Tess just after her session.
Well done, Tess – you did really good chick !! See you again soon for another session …
