april and macy
Two extremely pretty Maine Coons asked us to call, to have a look at their coats.
Both around 2 years old, April (left) is the larger of the pair by a long way. The females of this breed can easily reach 15lbs (6.8kg) at maturity (5 years old). She feels like she’s there already ! Maine Coons are known as ‘gentle giants’ – and although this doesn’t always prove true, it is certainly the case with April. The breed is said to be cautious around strangers, and April was a little apprehensive with our presence. However, once into the session she did relax and was very compliant – letting us work on those harder to reach areas.
Macy (right) is smaller in size. She presents typical Maine Coon traits in that she is a little cheeky, playful but yet so gentle. Macy gave us a taster of her playing skills as she flipped in the air to try catch her toy, then went to retrieve and fetch it for mum ! She knows what Maine Coons should do to please ! Macy was also keen to check out our bags and equipment, giving them a thorough examination before we set up stall.
Both coats were is good condition, as mum is able to comb the girls. During the sessions we had a thorough brush out, concentrating on the the tummy, between the back legs and the bum.

Later that evening, mum Francesca from Manchester told us :
“I just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work with my two girls today ! They are both looking fabulous ! Macy is like a different cat – she even came and fell asleep on my knee today which is totally out of character ! She is obviously much more comfortable – even if she did moan a little about the process ! Thanks for your patience with my nervous girl April too – she is back to her usual calm self and showing off her new look ! … Looking forward to next time already!”
Thanks so much for the feedback Francesca – really pleased the girls are happy and comfy …. and a new more cuddly side to Macy ? Well – she’d be up and zooming around again, if she thought we thought that !
