How to Trim Your Cat's Claws at Home (Easy and Fast!)

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Updated video that goes more in depth and shows how to trim back claws: • Video
I recently received a bunch of comments and messages asking me how I trim my cat's claws so easily, so I thought I'd share a quick tutorial with you. Keep in mind, Marley used to be way more difficult during this process but over time with using these tips he has become really good at it. I hope this helps! Feel free to comment or direct message me on Instagram with any questions! :)

    The way he keeps looking at his mom ❤️ 🥰 We can trim only when they are sleeping. It has always been this way with all our cats. Sneaking up and talking calmly really works but if I show them the trimmer or try to hold them, we can’t succeed. Maybe some cats are feral for life 🤓

    Just wanted to vouch for this technique! I’ve been doing this with my girl Bella since I first got her and it works every time! Just casually sit there with your cat in your lap, and gently hold the paws and it’s all done! Cats can be trained to do so many things if it’s done calmly and gently! I got Bella used to water and car rides early on so now if I need to bath her for whatever reason she’s chilled and she loves coming for car rides! 😍

I watched your videos, ordered a pair of trimmers and went for it. Just as straightforward as you show. Rugby's happy he doesn't have to ride in the carrier every month and we're glad to be saving the $20. Win win. Thanks again.

I hated it and so did my cat, But I decided that there had to be an easier way both for my cat and me. God you're such a time saver, My cat took it like a champ and she got loads of praises and rubs afterwards! I really appreciate this method. My boyfriend was in shook lol

    Your video made me smile!! I love your man cat. I have my first boy cat and he is such an awesome man cat - he is docile and wild at the same time- I used to tease him and tell him that I was going to have to take him back if he didn’t quit being so wild and somewhat neurotic. But in my heart, I knew I couldn’t be without him- I knew that if I could just get through the first 6-9 months he would begin to grow out of that stage. And I was right! Charlie has the cutest randomly placed freckles and he just looks me straight in the eye like he was saying “mom, I don’t mean to be so wild and cute. It’s just who I am- I think I’ll grow out of it. “ He said “just love me through it”

But I did it exactly how you did in the video (staying calm and all and holding her up like she was sitting) and it worked like a charm! No towel/blanket needed and no scratches or bites! I of course followed up with lots of treats and pets. I’ll be using this technique from now on

    Quick tip: if your cat hates this, try distracting him. My one cat absolutely HATES when I trim his nails. The only way I can trim his claws is if I distract him so that he looks away from what I’m doing. I’ll have my girlfriend move a string around or something so that he can use his opposite paw of which I’m trimming to try and grab the string, all while I have his other paw in hand of which I can then push his claw out and trim without him making a fuss. This is the absolute only way I’ve been able to trim his claws. My other cat, he tolerates it like a champ. Great video.

    I never had a problem trimming nails until this last 'batch' of cats. Once one complained, the other started complaining too. They learn from each other. If it is too difficult, I will content myself with trimming just one paw's worth, then maybe later the other paw; then maybe the next day getting one back foot; if I am lucky both back feet. If need be I do just one paw or foot a day. Trying when they have just awakened is a good time because mine tend to be the most relaxed then.

    Good for you that you are doing that for your kitty. Tell your dad it’s not declawing, it’s amputating their paws at the knuckle, which is why it is illegal in many countries and states in the US. You can buy cheap corrugated cardboard scratching boards (which cats LOVE) at the dollar tree for $1 or find the better quality version of them for $5 at Walmart. Tell your dad amputating the cats paws will cost him a lot more than buying scratching boards for the poor kitty. There should be multiple boards around the house, with some catnip sprinkled on them so the cat will always choose the scratching board over any furniture.

    How do you have that beautiful plant in the open with Marley? My cat chews & knocks over my plants all the time. 😅

    I'd love to see you try that with a cat that's never had its nails trimmed before. There's a whole lot of trust-building before a cat will let you hold it that way and trim its nails. The actual clipping isn't the hard part.

    How do I cut my cat's claws.....she immediately pulls her front paws away when I touch them ? I do have a hard time tricking her to get into her carrier ..to get nails done elsewhere...I was thinking about one of those aromatic fragrances to make cars chill
