lady kitty
We were called in to work with an 11 year old ginger lady called Kitty, who over recent weeks had developed mats around her body, which needed attention.
Initially the aim of the groom was to tease out and save hair where possible, but it soon became apparent that this wasn’t the right approach as Kitty was uncomfortable with the brushing of the remaining hair – which, due to it’s thickness, still needed to be worked through quite vigourously. So we set about a full clip. Even the hair way down Kitty’s legs and on the feet was so thick and clumpy, it took a while to attend to.
Overall, Kitty behaved very well and let us work through her coat. On a couple of occasions she already seemed to be ‘helping’ with the grooming of herself !
Following our session, mum Christina from Blackburn, Lancashire said :
“I was really stressed about the condition of Kitty’s coat. She suffers from a neurological condition and arthritis, and hasn’t groomed herself for a long time. Kitty was also very sensitive to me grooming her and didn’t give me much time to make a difference. Her coat had become badly matted in places and I really needed help to sort her out. Sandra not only rescued me, but also Kitty – who now seems a lot more content.”
Glad we could be of service Christina, and pleased that Kitty is feeling more comfortable with her new coat !
