Cats usually provide a lot of
significance to self-grooming and they are one of the cleanest pets
around. But if the cat is fed up or is getting old, they would need
support in the whole grooming process. If this is not done, there is
a risk that the cat might harm itself or you may get harmed from the
biting and scratching.
So, let us help you with
following simple guidelines for trimming the nails of your cat.
1. You will need a top quality
set of cat claw trimmers and this is probably the only equipment that
you will need. So you should buy an excellent set which have the best
cat product reviews and let them
last a lifetime, rather than purchasing inexpensive ones that will
break and cause injuries to the cat.
2. Most cats dislike their paws
been touched. So, it is essential that you calm your cat down, then,
play around with it and relax it to the level that, it will gladly
let you touch their paws. While you are trimming the nails of your
cat, you can take the support of your friends or family members to
hold it carefully. Do not try and cut its nails when it is upset as
you get harm during the process.
3. You must carefully take the
paw between your finger and thumb. Gradually push the fur back to
expose the nails. The clippers must be held vertically otherwise
there is a risk of trimming the nails in a splintered way. This can
damage the nail and in some situations cause pain to your cat.
4. You must take
proper care for your cat that
you are not trimming it too close as it might cause bleeding and
stress to the cat. You must quit the process instantly if the cat
begins acting too restless and proceed it later when it calms down.
If it is harm, you must be present at to its injuries and let it cure
before you try trimming the nails again.
