Many cats have a stubborn character, and pet owners know this firsthand.
Combined with their desire to scratch every surface in the house with their claws, these cats can become a real headache for their owners.
Let's figure out what life hacks exist for owners of cats who flatly refuse to get rid of their formidable weapon.
How to trim a cat's claws
If your pet is quite stubborn, you definitely won’t be able to handle the job of trimming its claws alone.
Therefore, you need to find a reliable assistant who will distract the animal with treats during the claw trimming procedure.
You need to proceed in the following way:
- Carefully restrain your pet while your assistant distracts him with treats.
- Armed with a special tool, press lightly on the pad of the finger: thanks to this movement, the claws themselves come out.
- Trim only the white part of the nail without the pink nerve endings, working at the correct angle - along the growth line of the nail.
- Cut the claw with one precise movement; if there are rough spots, it is better to file them with a file.
