pretty poppy
We met up with a new chick in Windermere, Cumbria recently. Poppy is a 5 year old British Shorthair.
Poppy was quite surprised to find herself on the grooming table. We’d been asked to meet up as her coat was becoming clumpy down the lower back area.
We began the combing slowly, to get Poppy in the mood and to help her understand that nothing terrible was about to happen. Once she was comfortable with combing around her head and areas lower down that weren’t clumpy we moved onto the problem areas. The worst of the matting was zipped off with the clippers.
Underneath, whilst we found Poppy really wasn’t happy being combed she quite enjoyed the slicker brush. It’s always a case of seeing what works best for the individual.
Well done Poppy ! Much more comfy now !
