Hey guys!
I have a one year old Satin Angora, Stormcloud, who is easily spooked. I've been trying my hardest to make her less skittish and she's come around a lot, but I've come to the conclusion that it is just part of her personality.
One thing she absolutely hates is being picked up, so I try to keep that at a minimum. That being said, she's an angora, and she needs to be groomed at least twice a week. She HATES being brushed. I hold her in my lap and try to be gentle, but by the end of the session, her eyes are bulging out of her head in fear. I went two weeks with out brushing her while I was trying to bond/gain her trust and had to cut matts out of her because she wasn't brushed in that little of time, so it's a must. Is there anything I can do to make this more comfortable for her? Should I just give her a "puppy cut" to avoid it? (lol that would be a last resort, because I do love her beautiful coat)
Thanks for you help!
