gentle evander
This big boy is 18 month old Maine Coon Evander, who lives in Rochdale, Greater Manchester with his family.
Evander already weighs 8.6kg (19lbs), so by the time he is fully grown he will be a hefty chap. Maine Coons don’t mature until they are around 4-5 years old.
We were called in to meet up with Evander as he had developed some matted areas – mainly around his lower back, trousers, chest and armpits. On the grooming table Evander was a little wary for about 10 seconds, then lay still whilst we got to work. He didn’t mind his nails being clipped and wasn’t at all phased by the clippers. We think he knew what was going on. Quite a vocal chap, who cocked his head around a few times to watch the proceedings ! He also obliged at the right moments, by stretching out his limbs !
It was a nice session. After the clipping we brushed out Evander’s coat, which was extremely thick. We managed to tease out the odd tangle here and there and thinned him out. No doubt Evander is feeling much comfier now and mum has a good starting point to move forward with his brushing.
After the session, mum Keela said :
“A massive thank you to Sandra for making our darling Maine Coon Evander look handsome again. Poor Evander’s winter coat had got into a rather bad state but he now looks so handsome and is definitely more chilled out following his new haircut 😉 Sandra was very professional and even made me smile when she singed whilst she was working ! Wouldn’t hesitate to use again xx”
Nice meeting up with you, Evander. You were such a good boy (just like your mum said you would be !).
