sweetie ebony
How nice it was to be asked to meet up with 14 year old Ebony in Clitheroe, Lancashire.
Ebony has been with her family for some time now, and is adored. It’s unknown how she lost one of her rear legs, and now she’s getting older she is becoming blind.
Quite a hefty girl, Ebony’s short coat had become clumpy and matted around the rear end – particularly around the missing leg, area. She really isn’t happy for mum to touch or comb her there, hence the difficulties with the coat.
Ebony is a friendly girl and she didn’t mind too much to find herself on the grooming table. We began working around the problem area to begin with – to get the worst over with first for Ebony – and although she wasn’t keen, she did cope very well. We worked as quickly as possible and took away lots of dead hair with the comb and clipped a small section away that was too matted to save. Ebony relaxed whilst we combed out the rest of her coat, which wasn’t as thick.
A few days after the session, mum Mary said :
“Sandra came to groom Ebony who has a very thick coat and only three legs so she doesn’t groom herself very well. Also she is going blind but can still enjoy life. The session with Sandra was excellent and although Ebony doesn’t like to be touched at the back end near her tail Sandra was able to do it without upsetting Ebony too much. We all enjoyed the visit and our other cat Thomas who is also three-legged had his nails cut seemed to enjoy the experience as well. Looking forward to future sessions with Sandra. Many thanks once again.”
Well done Ebony … Really pleased with our first session !
