All very good advice. Snowflake has always hated this, and I am not a
novice as I have had cats for years and years. She uses all the scratching posts I have for her; however, Lapkitty who is declawed (I will never declaw again although he is fine - just won't do it anymore) likes to use the scratching posts as well. Unfortunately, Snowflake has "sliced and diced" my new sofa (I am very unhappy about that). Even the "sticky paws" strips did not deter her. Oh well. Regards, Enid |

"raenee" wrote in message oups.com... I don't really need help with this for my cat, but for a friends cat. She lets her cat's claws grow out really long and avoids clipping them because "it's too much hassle". I've seen her try to clip her cat's claws. She takes a towel and wraps the cut up like a soft taco with the paws sticking out. Naturally, the cat hates it and because it hates being taco'd, it hates clipping in general. What I do with my cat is wait until she's asleep... She pretty much turns into a ragdoll. But my friends cat, even when it's sleeping, wakes up when I start on her claws. I'm sure I'm not clipping too close- If anything, I'm leaving a bit much from the fear of clipping too close. Sooo.... I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on calming the cat and on keeping it calm throughout the entire claw-cutting experience.... Many thanks Tell your friend to play with her cat's paws when she's petting him/her. This will get the cat used to having the paws touched and played with and might help the cat feel less threatened when it comes time to clip. Others have given excellent suggestions for the actual clipping. W |
