chilled charlie – not !

DSCN2695A Charlie 200514 cropped+(c)Meet Charlie in Billinge, Wigan, Greater Manchester.

Such a lovely, sweet, affectionate girl upon meeting her.  We don’t know for sure how old she is, but think she’s about 12 years and her previous life is a little sketchy, but she didn’t have the best of times.

We were asked to call in to meet up with Charlie as her long black hair had become matted, particularly around her back, flanks and rear end.  We were warned that Charlie hadn’t agreed to the session.  In fact, she hadn’t been asked – because it was thought that she wouldn’t be too keen on the idea !!

Our thoughts were right !

We clipped away quite a large area and although we don’t think Charlie was frightened or anxious, she made it known in no uncertain terms that she would rather still have been in bed, thank you very much !   We then brushed out her remaining coat, which in itself was extremely thick and almost at the point of matting.

Following the session, mum and dad Paula and David said :

“Has there ever been a more difficult and uncooperative cat to groom than Charlie?  Despite numerous times when teeth and claws were used to discourage you from trying to ‘delug’ her, you persevered with patience and kindness, and won in the end.  She is now a lot happier and a lot more comfortable.  Once again – many thanks.  David and Paula.”

As we were clearing up our gear, Charlie popped back into the kitchen for a stroke and head rub … Just to say Thanks, and that there are no hard feelings !

Your coat looks so well now, Charlie.  Now, be a good girl and let dad comb you !  Looking forward to seeing you later in the year for a maintenance groom …. (we won’t give you any advance warning,  it’ll just be a nice surprise !)
