One question though. How do you go about cutting your cats nails?
I have had cats, have 2 cats and 2 dogs and I have never had to cut the cats nails.
Im not being douchey or anything, just curious as it seems like that would be one hell of a feat lol.
My cats are very nice but I don't think they would want me near their feet with a pain of clippers.

Thanks. Yes good day.
No prob. Yeah I had to do that with my first two siamese kittens so I learned.
Simply take a lil "fingernail clipper" the kind you squeeze. Good sharp fairly new one is best. Hold the paw gently to extend the nail and make sure you only clip the tip and allow a lil distance between the nail and "pink". Dont get too close to the pink.
Some cats will allow you no prob. Some like my new lil guy fight it so you have to get one here, one there when they dont expect it.
You only need to get the tip and it is a big diff. They still scratch but they dont grab the fabric nearly as much. And they dont scratch you at all.
Kittens are small so you need good light and take your time. Dont have to get them all at once if they fight it by pulling their paw back. Dont squeeze too hard on their arm. Allow them to pull their paw back. You have to clip em a lil here and a lil there over one day.
You only need to get the front paws, four nails per (eight total) not the thumbs so much altho preferred to get the thumbs too.
Has to be repeated about every 2-3 weeks.
