Meet Smokey. Smokey is a 19 year old Maine Coon who lives in Preston, Lancashire. Yes, you heard right. 19 !! Which is an incredible age for a Maine Coon. He’s obviously led a very pampered life !
Mum brushes Smokey, but his coat had become thick and clumpy and really it was better if a large part of it was clipped back for a fresh start. This was particularly the case underneath and on his sides.
Smokey fared very well. He can be a little grumpy on occasions, we were told, but he laid patiently whilst we set to work. We took it very gently with him and split his session. This was for his comfort – and to give part of his coat the chance to regrow, rather than leaving him without a substantial amount of hair. Although he spends most of his time in the house (he just potters in the garden now and then), the weather has now turned and his is 19 years old after all ! Mum and dad have bought Smokey a little jumper to keep him warm whilst his coat regrows.
We’ve just heard that Smokey has injured his hind leg, which is hampering his mobility at the moment. He’s going to go back to the doctor’s for another check up. We wish you well Smokey, and a speedy recovery young man !
