lovely oskar
Here’s 5 year old Oskar the Pixie Bob who lives with his housemates and family in Aspull, Wigan, Greater Manchester.
Pixie Bobs are intelligent, active, social, bold, and enjoy playing with other animals. They mature at around 4 years old and they can be large cats, but on average are around the size of an average domestic cat. Most are short haired, but some are long haired. Oskar is much larger than average, weighing in at 7-8 kg – and his hair is long not short.
We were called in to help with brushing out Oskar’s coat. Although mum and dad are able to comb on top, underneath is a little more difficult as Oskar isn’t too keen on the idea.
His coat wasn’t matted, but was quite thick in parts and was needing a good brush through. It was an unsettled session as Oskar really didn’t want it to happen – and he told us as much in no uncertain terms ! However, we combed underneath, and removed lots of dead hair – particularly from around the flanks and back end.
After the session, Oskar was back in the room – very nosey – wanting to know what was going on ! Housemate Foley was in on the action too. See piccie above of Foley on the grooming table, checking out Oskar’s dead hair that was brushed away !
Nice meeting you Oskar, you cheeky chappy !
