gentle ted
We called in to see Ted again.
Ted is a Tabby Maine Coon who lives in Tockholes, Lancashire with his dad, and he has just turned 2 years old. There’s nothing that Ted likes more than to be out and about checking out his territory and playing in the fields. As you can imagine, he comes home with all sorts of twigs and bracken embedded in his coat.
Since our last visit, Ted has become a little more tolerant of the comb and he and dad have been able to do some grooming. Quite a nervous boy by nature, it was really pleasing to see Ted settle immediately on the grooming table for this second session. It was evident that he remembered the last time we called and that there really was nothing to worry about. We played him some music, and he really chilled out. In fact, once laid on his side, he didn’t move a muscle until it was time to turn around to comb his other side.
If you go over to our facebook page, you can see a video clip of Ted on the grooming table – and you can see for yourself just how chilled he was !
We took a few areas away with the clippers, that couldn’t be brushed out, and rid him of excess hair elsewhere.
Following the session, dad Nick said :
“Just to thank you for making a special effort to see Ted, the scruffiest Maine Coon in Europe, before I went away. He’s rather strutting his stuff now he looks like he has at least learned to walk through hedges forwards. I’m delighted with him. Thanks again.”
Nice seeing you again, Ted. Well done with the 1:1 sessions with dad and keep up the good work !
