Not every cat is ready to meekly agree to have its claws trimmed.
As a rule, furry friends do not like this process at all, because it seems threatening and unpleasant to them.
However, there is a way to "convince" your cat that there is nothing wrong with trimming its claws.
Feline experts have explained what tricks you should use to make the process of shortening your whiskered and striped friend's claws stop being torture.
Suitable tools
Arm yourself with special scissors. They can be purchased at a pet store.
Choose only those tools that are well sharpened and that are comfortable to hold in your hand.
No punishment
If your cat starts to wriggle around to avoid having its claws trimmed, do not yell at it under any circumstances.
On the contrary, try to behave as kindly and understandingly as possible.
Incentive system
After each procedure of shortening your pet's claws, reward him with some kind of treat.
Over time, your furry friend’s fear of “manicures” will disappear once and for all.
Regular haircut
Your cat will stop being afraid of having its claws trimmed if you do it systematically, rather than just once.
Over time, your mustachioed and striped friend will become so accustomed to this procedure that he will perceive it extremely calmly.
