handsome harvey

20151014_183526A harvey 141015 cropped+(c)We met up with Harvey again in Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire.

Harvey was rescued from the streets, where we think he’d been living for at least a year. He’s been with his new mum for around 4 years now and guess that he’s around 8 years old. He sure has landed on his feet and now has the Life of Riley.

Harvey is a looker, and also is quite distinguishable as a polydactyl . Cats normally have 5 digits (1 Dew claw and 4 fingers) on each of their front paws, and 4 digits on each of the rear feet. Polydactyls may have as many as 8 on some/all of their feet. It’s important to keep an eye on these extra digits as they often overgrow, as they don’t touch the ground/wear down when walking.

Today, Harvey came in from his jaunts to welcome us. A nice friendly welcome ! He watched on as we set up the gear for the session and once on the grooming table he settled much quicker than on previous occassions.

Harvey’s not keen to find himself up there, but he does enjoy the fuss and attention a session brings. What he doesn’t like most is any work around his rear quarters. No, thanks ! Anyhow, we tidied him up around there to help with toileting going forward. We also uncovered a bite wound on Harvey’s back (there is tension with a local tom, so no doubt he’s the culprit) so Harvey paid a visit to his Dr the following day for an antibiotic shot.

Mum Lauren later said

“This is Harvey’s 3rd appointment with the very talented and skilled Sandra ! When she arrived, Harv head bumped her to greet her and was much more relaxed at this session, even though he had to start with having his trousers sorted out ! As always, a fantastic job done and with Sandra’s patience and Harvey’s increased confidence the session was easier and seemed shorter … This was also due though to how much better his coat grows back now he’s being professionally groomed. He doesn’t develop knots under his legs or tummy (or anywhere !) so the whole experience just gets better every time. As I said before, if you have a cat who deserves and needs this special treatment, this service is worth every penny and highly recommended. Thanks as always, Sandra”

You can watch a short video clip of Harvey after his grooming session, on our facebook page.  Note Harvey’s misshapen paws due to his extra digits….
