tonight I cut the cats claws...all 5 cats, both front and back!! whew what a job! in fact, there were a few claws missed that I will have to go back and cut tomorrow...the cats move around so much! I will cut one cats claws a day from now on, not all 5 cats. even Muffin tonight let me know that she wanted to bite me! she didn't actually do it but I got the idea.she has never done that before, maybe it was because I had squirted her with water,(for scaring Charlie) and the others were in the room, usually when I do her claws, she is alone. she sure didnt like the water, she gave me such a look after that! good thing she didn't , or there was a squirt bottle with her name on it! Charlie growls the whole time, its funny, he growls as if saying, Im a tuff guy, you better stop that. and Patches plays, tries to bite the clippers, its hard to do his because he is always putting his mouth in the way, or a paw.
then there is Emma and Louise, they are so scared, they shake, and Louise is just downright wild. 2 of us can't handle her, she is just going to have to have them done professionally. we have been scratched, clawed, so many times.and tonight she almost scratched my mothers eye!
she is just plain wild. I have to scruff her but I can't do that and cut her claws, I need both hands, and it takes both my moms hand to hold her down, we are just doing something wrong,
how do you cut your cats claws?
my mother holds them, in her arms , on their backs. I know at the vets one holds the scruff and the other cuts the claws...
just now, Louise threw up. she is so stressed about this, I hope it doesn't bring on the herpes back to her eyes. I gave them catnip, of course the kittens are still too young, they don't like it yet.
I am going to check into some services this week, because either we have to have someone come out here or we have to take them to the vets. and I know the carrier and being in the car will stress her, maybe it would be easier if she just got used to someone coming here and doing that...
does anyone know if there are services like that, like a dog groomer but for cats? I will look it up this week, just thought I would ask.
