Re: Claws


I just clip the end off - perfect. Spoke to the vet about it once and he said I was doing a great job and if she let me carry on.

Neither of mine have ever had a problem with anything I do to them, tablets, drops, eye creams, nail clipping maybe they are just dozy

Re: Claws


If it had been my previous cat there wouldn't have been a problem, he would let me do anything but this little madam now is a completely different story
I may have a go with a nail file though

Re: Claws


I don't cut my cats nails. They need them when climbing etc.

She was never socialised as a young kitten Moli. When I got her she was shut in a shed with her brothers and sisters in a field away from anywhere. I just wanted to get her out of there....but if they aren't socialised as kitts you get problems later...
