Thread: Kittens and CLAWS!!

Definitely start trimming his front nails. It helps to get them used to it to start early, and those kitten nails can be even sharper than adult nails. Even if they aren't very long they can be sharp--just take the very tip off. I find that kitten nails grow fast, so you might have to trim every week to keep them safe for you. Have you ever trimmed your other MCs nails? I know there has been at least one thread on here about how to do it. I personally find the large human nail clippers to work best, but other people do prefer cat nail clippers. Just be certain not to cut into the quick; if you cannot get a clear view, don't cut. I like to do it in bright daylight or with a flashlight, and with some cats it takes two people.
