What do you think about 15 year old Maine Coon Hercules Champion in Kirkham, Lancashire’s new name ? … Herkie Kerkie. Well, it made us laugh anyway.
We had a really nice session with Hercules Champion today. We last saw him a few weeks ago, and it was nice to see that the mats had been kept at bay and we didn’t need the clippers. Just a gentle brush out to work through a few mild tangles, mainly underneath.
We played some soothing music during today’s session, and Hercules Champion LOVED it. He obliged by stretching out limbs – even his back leg, which he normally doesn’t like being touched. Wow ! That is a breakthrough !
Hercules Champion has some arthritis around his joints so we took the session easy, at his speed.
Following the session, mum Gerry said :
“Just about to phone you to say how people have admired him again [following the grooming session]. The difference in him is unbelievable ….Can’t thank you enough xx”
Well done Herkie Kerkie ! You were such a good boy ….
