My Pierre has beautiful medium length fur. I think he may be part Maine Coon. My problem is that he HATES to be handled. The only times I'm ever able to pet him is when I'm giving him his wet food or at night when he's sleeping on the bed with me. But even then, he's somewhat skittish and runs away the second he thinks I might try to pick him up. I'm concerned his hair will become matted but don't know how to go about combing it if he won't even come within arms reach of me. Any suggestions?
He's about 9 mo old and I've only had him for 2 mo. I'm thinking he still may be adjusting to me and is why he's skittish. But until it comes to the point when he'll let me handle him, if ever, what can I do to keep his fur groomed?
