Re: Claws - and not retracting


the best thing to do if you can is to start them young.another way is 1 to use nail clippers for humans as these are nicer to get round nail.2 Try when cat is asleep,some will let you clip but not all.3 when i do mine once a week we start with a treat and finish with a treat.They soon learn that its somthing good.Mine sit waiting to be done

Re: Claws - and not retracting


Glad Tizz is a biddable little girl who lets me clip.

My Siamese madam is not so 'hitchy' except in bed (Oh did I tell you she cuddles into me, under the duvet????? Sure none of you have such ill-brought up pets ) She cuddles into me and often gets her claws caught in my PJ top. I turn over, she's hooked, we turn together, with her swearing at me and me sleepily trying to find the hitch and disentangle her...... oh, it's all drama in our house!

Re: Claws - and not retracting


She lies under the duvet, head on the pillow - sort of 'wot you looking at, don't all cats do this?). My OH calls us his two blondies.
I never give her sardines for tea!

It is lovely and cosy though, having a fur collar

Re: Claws - and not retracting


Cassie always comes up and nestles into me (don't share my pillow with her tho ) and I notice she never goes on OH's side

Re: Claws - and not retracting


Our babies are not allowed in the bedroom :O( OH has ashtma and eczema, it would make him ill if they were to lay on the bedding, I really miss not having a cat at the end of my bed - before I got Amber and Archie - Daisy would always sleep at the foot of the bed or beside me.
