fantastic figment
We recently met up again with Figment in Bolton, Manchester.
Figment is a Persian Cross and as such has a very thick, long coat. She is no longer able to tend to it herself – as she’ll be 22 years old in March !
Figment’s coat was extremely matted all around her back and lower regions, and ad-hoc elsewhere. She lets mum comb her ruff and around her head to some extent, but everywhere else is a no-go zone.
We took the sessions real easy with Figment and broke them into manageable timeframes for her. Overall we clipped away a large section of the coat.
Even though Figment has seen younger years, she still has all her faculties about her. We’re sure she remembered our visit this time last year – and that she’d felt so much better afterwards. She was much more mellow and co-operative this time around and lay patiently whilst we tackled those hard to reach areas underneath. As an older lady, Figment’s skin really is like tissue paper, so it was no easy task.
This piccie of Figment was taken about 4 weeks after her lower back and flanks had been clipped. You can see her coat is already growing back at a speed and is quite fluffy at the moment. Mum is going to do her best to comb these areas whilst they are still tangle free. Figment – please oblige !!
After the session, mum and dad Christine and Andy said :
“Thank you Sandra, for being so patient with our little old lady Figment. I don’t know how, but you have the knack of totally relaxing her. Once again she is like a spring chicken after her groom ! Thank you again x”
