Caracal grooming
When you work with a caracal, you immediately realize: this isn't a purring, belly-rubbing cat. 😅 This is a wild cat with a personality, and her body language is a science unto itself. I honestly tried to decipher all those looks and movements: was she ready for a brushing, or was she already mentally plotting an escape.
But we managed! We brushed her, washed her, dried her—and even cleaned her ears and eyes without any drama. In the end, the caracal left satisfied, and I left with a sense of small victory and a couple of new gray hairs. 😄
