This gorgeous Maine Coon cross is a new addition to our gang ! He’s called Dexter and he hangs out in Knutsford, Cheshire with his housemate and family. Here’s a piccie of Dexter, mid-lick !
At 9 years old, Dexter thinks he’s the boss. In fact, a bit more than that – he knows he’s the boss (in his view !).
Dexter doesn’t mind being brushed from time to time on his terms. He certainly needs to be in the mood. However, saying that, his coat was in lovely condition as mum and dad were managing to keep on top of it.
To make it easier all round we decided to let Dexter have a clip, to remove most of the hair from his torso. He’s never been clipped before, so we weren’t sure how he would interact in the session.
We began very well and Dexter wasn’t afraid of the clippers. As the session progressed, he decided that actually he’d rather be doing something else. However, we persuaded him that a clip down the left side, and a fully body of hair down the right wasn’t in fashion this season. So, reluctantly Dexter agreed and let us finish the session without too much fuss.
Afterwards, it was obvious that Dexter was pretty chuffed with himself. He came to meet mum as she arrived home from work, then set about a self groom. He seemed pleased that his coat was so short !
