not so chunky
We met a new chick called Chunk recently.
Chunk is 13 years old, and he’s a Turkish Van (or a cross ?). He lives with his canine housemate and family in Weeton, Lancashire.
As the years have gone by, Chunk’s self grooming has reduced and his semi long coat had become very tufty and matted all around his body, with a pelt down both sides of his back.
Vocal ? VOCAAAAAAL !!!!! We have never heard such a loud cry / meow / yowl ?? – Not sure what to call it ? – from a cat. Chunk is vocal all the time. When he’s sat minding his own business. When you talk to him. When you’re in bed upstairs, and he’s in bed downstairs. It’s an incredible sound and the next door neighbours could be forgiven for thinking he’s being murdered !
We took away what needed to come off, and left him with as much of the remainder of his coat as possible. Chunk really wasn’t keen on us working underneath, but we got there over a couple of sessions.
After the session, mum Lisa said
“Chunk seems happier already. Brushed him with the back of the comb … He’s much happier – the kids noticed it too”
We know that Chunk will be feeling much comfier. Here’s a piccie of him about 3 weeks after his session and his coat is really starting to grow back already.
