Soulwatcher Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Our Alice and Missy get their nails trimmed every week or two. It just depends on if they are sharp or not. Alice is an angel and lets you trim her nail any time of the day. Missy, however, has to be in the mood, or she will throw a big fit. How about you? How often do you trim your cat's nails? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toletia Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Missy will not let me trim her nails if she's not in a mellow mood. Not at all. But only twice I think since we've had her did she downright refuse 😹 She usually is an angel about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 With Smokey, we never really needed to trim her nails, she was always able to keep them trimmed and healthy herself and when never had any concerns about her nails when we had her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I hear my buddy talk about always having trouble with his cat and has even lost a shirt to holding the cat in place while trying to trim their nails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 We have scratching posts around our house, and our vet has never mentioned that the girls need their nails trimming. I think they are doing a good job keeping them kept using the posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His one cat hates it, him and his wife always have to trick the cat to get it pinned for nail clipping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that they get razor sharp, and they can hurt each other, or they can hurt us and not mean to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elseb Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 It's such a difficult job with my two cats, I struggle at times but it's a job that has to be done. I generally do it when they're about to eat, makes it slightly easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
