You lay your cat on her side on a bed or a towel on the floor and gently press your hand to the side of her face to keep her from biting you. She is rolled up in a towel with her feet sticking out, one at a time, to keep her from scratching you. It's a two-person job--or, the vet charges, what, $10-15 to do it? Sweet cats like my Gracie hate the rolling up and restraining worse than the clipping and will eventually just lie there and put up with it. Give treats at the end, and petting and praise. |

Ahhhhha, it isn't the teeth you should be worrying about, it is the other
three paws you are not clipping at the moment. You can easily hold the head away with arm or towel between you and it but those other claws, if not in a towel or pinned down. That is where the trouble lies. "desgnr" wrote in message ... Did anyone ever use a Muzzle to help with cutting nails or is a Muzzle not nice to use ? "desgnr" wrote in message ...

I would rather pay the vet to do it. Last time I tryed to do the oldest ones nail she went balistic on me. She peed all over me and pooped and bit me so hard ab deep that I got infection and had to be admitted to hospital for 2 days because the infection had started up my arm. All I have to do is toch her feet and look out!!!! The rest will let me do their's but will let me know all the while that they do not like it!!! |

She doesn't scratch or bite, although she does indicate by a bit of wriggling that she would just as soon not do this. Sounds like I'm lucky. G |
