our friend hercules champion
We were really pleased to meet up again with one of our friends Hercules Champion.
Hercules Champion (affectionately known by us as Herkie Kerkie) is a most gorgeous silver/red Maine Coon who lives in Kirkham, Lancashire. If you didn’t know as much, you’d never think that he’s 15 years old !!
We like seeing Hercules Champion, as his mum tells us that the sessions really perk him up. Certainly the difference in his coat is immediately evident after a session, and he does look much younger !
Today’s session was during the afternoon. It was a really hot day, and we did our best to cool the room before we started the session. Hercules Champion knew what it was all about and lay patiently on the grooming table whilst we clipped his nails (no hassle) and began his brush out underneath. He obviously enjoyed the cool air from the fan in his face whilst we combed away.
Although we see Hercules Champion on a regular schedule his tummy and trousers in particular were well in need of attention. He loves to explore the nearby vegetation and grounds and comes home with all sorts of undergrowth attached to his coat. Especially ‘sticky bobs’ – the bane of our lives at the moment with many cats we see !!
After the session, mum Gerry told us :
“Hercules Champion is happy after his grooming session. He’s much more comfy and is purring away !”
Good stuff ! Looking forward to our next visit already … !
