Trimming Cat's Nails

pattypeep · ‎06-06-2011

I took my sweet boy to the vet today to have his nails trimmed. He's never had them done and I am too chicken. He's at least 10 years old, but he's been very destructive lately even though he has scratch pads as well as a huge tower with sisal ropes. He does use them, but for some reason decided that my brand new wool rug would make a great scratch pad. OMG !! He pulled so many pieces out I was frantic.

Anyway, the vet tech said he did beautifully. He just laid on the table and let her go to town. I am so thankful. He's such a good kitty (except when he scratches stuff up). Hopefully, the trim will work.

@pattypeep, He's a sweetie pie. Lately my kitty girl does not want me to trim her nails and starts making loud noises but I get loud back. Last time I got all but one so I will get it next time around. She would never bite me but sometimes gets an attitude like she can't be bothered. Don't you love cats? LOL Actually, I sincerely do.

@Katcat1 I've loved cats my whole life. This gray is the fourth one that I've had over the years and they have all looked alike. I see pictures of my other ones in albums and have to look at the carpet or furniture to remember who it is. They have the sweetest disposition and are more like a dog than a cat. We have two of those also, by the way (doggies).

He's beautiful. It's very easy to trim a cats nails, but I do find it to usually be a two person job, one person to hold the cat and the other to trim. I use Four Paws Magic Coat Cat Claw Clippers that are sold on Amazon. I also use them on my chihuahua.

Awwww...Such a cutie! Reminds me of my kitty who I lost about 2 years ago. He looks like he would be calm. I trim the nails of the one I have now, but it is no easy task...sort of like a wrestling match.
