Claw clipping and bad behavior...
So my guy has never liked getting his claws clipped. But after a nice
meal and a nap on my lap I was always able to get a few claws done a night. (I have never been able to get to his back claws). The last few times I have tried to clip his claws he has grabbed my hand with his teeth. He hasn't bitten - just grabbed. I do not like this behavior at all. Any suggestions on both getting the claws clipped and dealing with this behavior? |

If she had to have it done, I would get the vet nurse to do it. Your cat's trying to tell you he doesn't like having his nails clipped. Grabbing your hand is a warning. If he wanted to hurt you he would bite. You could try rewarding him with treats when you clip to make it more pleasant for him. Alison |

Make it a pleasant experience. You might not be able to clip them all at once. Do as many as kitty will put up with and get some more later or the next day. If you keep at it you eventually get them all done. W |

Hi Wendy
He had a tough start in life and doesn't trust my husband and I together. It makes these things even more difficult. Of the two of us, he tolerates me most. He is at a point, where he won't even let us touch his paws.... Wendy wrote: wrote in message ups.com... Can you get someone to help you? One person clips while the other pets kitty.
