Thread: Anyone have a cat with "Velcro Claws?"

With 10 MCs in the house, I would have no furniture left if I didn't clip their claws regularly! If you are nervous doing it the first time, your vet will show you how to clip. There is a wide range of clipping tools available too, don't be tempted to use scissors or human nail clippers which can shatter the claw.

Same here Musicalife it's a monthly event in this household although the leather settee has still suffered from quick arrival & putting breaks on...... My breeder always clips the nails of her babes at least two or three times before they go so they are already used to it but I love treating it as a bonding session,nothing nicer than having the cat sitting on your lap & being able to kiss behind it's ear & tell it what a good furrie it is while nail clipping,I have cats that spread their toes for you to make it easier plus then they get their paw blown on don't they & nothing nicer than when they hold your finger in their paw too & when all five furries have had their turn then out come the treats,have only had trouble with the first girl we got as an adult but by going slowly,making it fun & rewards it wasn't long before she too loved her manicure,just take your time,clip only the point off until both you & Spencer are more happy & confident then just cuddle & bond closer with each other,so worth it....x
