Trimming your cat’s nails help dull her weapons that could cause damage if she scratches you or your belongings. She could also get her nails in the fabric on the sofa, drapes or carpet and injure her toes. Thus you need to trim your cat’s nails regularly. Start when your cat is young so that it becomes routine. Handle your cat’s feet and nails often so she gets used to your touch. When you are ready to trim your cat’s nails, act quickly and efficiently. Grasp your cat’s foot and press on the pads to extend the nails. Trim the nails a little at a time while avoiding the quick. The quick is the nerve and blood supply to the nail so it will hurt and bleed if nicked. Continue trimming as long as your cat doesn’t resist. Don’t force your cat or punish her if she resists. Just try another time. For more information, contact your veterinarian Savannah, GA.
