Best way
« on: May 28, 2009, 09:06:43 PM »
to cut my kittens nails.  Loca freaks a bit.  I think I either need to knock her out, or wrap her in a towel.  SHe just isn't used to it i guess.  Any tried and true methods?  I have a bottle of vodka.  I've never cut a kittens naisl, so i don't want to hurt her if she struggles.  My dog wasn't too bad until he got older, then i had to wrestle his little ass.  Also it's hard to see the quick, she is only 7 weeks old.

truthfully, you really shouldn't have to clip them.  If you do, you just need to clip the tip of them.  I never clip my cats & they're always in good shape.  She takes care of them on her own.  My dogs on the other hand....I do about every 2-3 weeks like clock work.  I can't stand seeing a dog with long nails.  It's not good for them & when they get too long, it's really hard to get them short.  You have to stay on top of them all the time.

I've never heard of clipping a cat's nails  ???
but then again  :-\ I'm not a cat person


Okay, yah, I know  ::) I have the welfare kitties.  Seems they frequently use a tree like a scratching post, but I'm not sure what they're trying to accomplish  ???



Welfare = not having to work for food or shelter  :P
