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! :)

Rachel B. Definitely try wrapping them in a blanket like a little burrito lol! That will hopefully protect you a little more 😹
finally someone that goes straight to the point and shows you exactly how
Thank you soo much! I’m a cat dad of two! I just comfortably did it myself. I had taken them to the local shelter every couple of weeks and now I know that with some patience, low-fi music and calm I can do it by myself
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 🤓

@@rolandbullock6444 I know what you mean. I have 2 rescue cats. They will squirm around just trying to hold them. I don’t think I will ever be able to clip their nails at home.
My cat was flinching a lot when I did it at first but after watching your vid and matching your energy, he let me do all his front claws. Thanks!
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! 😍

hannah Fairhall Yess that’s awesome!! I wasn’t too great at getting Marley used to car rides/baths/anything like that when he was young so he’s definitely dramatic about it now lol. Maybe one day I’ll get him used to it! 🥰💕
Thank you! You're the first person who showed on close-up exactly how to use the clippers and where to cut upto. I loved your calm tone and love Marley too!
I want to thank you for this tutorial. Cat claw trimming went up to $20 at our groomer this year, so I decided to research doing it myself. 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.
Thank you! I trimmed my cats nail in seconds! and she didn't even fight back. My in-law showed me to "Sock them" in other words wrap the cat in a blanket very tightly and do one paw at a time. 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
It’s great to see Marleys mom interacting with him! Super sweet! 😻

Awww your his whole world. You can see how much he trusts and loves you in the way he looks at you.
You are so sweet with your fur baby! My vets is charging $15.00 per cat for nail trims. And, I hate taking them to the vets unless they are sick or are due their shots. I keep both of my fur babies in the house. I was able to trim my two kitties nails after watching your video. Thanks so much!
It’s brilliant to see you interact with Marley! He was very invested in the proceedings and he was looking at you attentively the whole time! Such a beautiful boy, he really trusts you and your voice is quite soothing so I am sure it also helps! Thanks for sharing and stay safe!! 🤗😻

Quick, and to the point. Thank you 😊
Marley is so charming and chill 😍 (also excited to see the 'hooman' behind these videos😊)
I sing to my cat softly while I cut her nails. It actually really helps. And right after I’ll give her treats for positive reinforcement.
Thank you! This helped so much. We had a much better experience with mail trimming this time.
I loved to see you in a video too! It's so nice to see how he trusts you, thank you for sharing!😁

Shirizu_Amaya Thank you so much!! 🥰😽💞
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”
I keep trying but my cat wants no part of it! He bites and scratches me🙀😾

How do you hold him
Today I was able to cut only one paw after struggling with my cats for almost one week!!! Thank you for the tips, will try with another paws after she calm down a while 😊
No point giving tips when he's an angel.
I've had a bit of a struggle when it comes to trimming Cat Dennings' nails, so thank you. I didn't learn anything because I was too fixated on your hotness but I pinky swear to keep being the best cat dad I can. My buddy always gets 1st taste when I have grilled chicken, sushi or steak n she just interrupted my reply making muffins on my tummy 🥰 *fyi if anyone has a problem with my love for kitties you know what you can go and do

…it’s so simple but it works! I’m so surprised lol my cat hates getting her paws lightly touched let alone getting them trimmed. 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

Thanks you are so helpful I just got a cat today sooo
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.

Lemongrob I didn’t realize he was that big until reading some of these comments lol! I guess he is pretty big! Also, thank you so much 🥰💕
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.
Thank you 🐈🐱

Hey there’s so many cats waiting for you to adopt them.
Hahaha I would love you to try and do that with my cat
Thank you.
Thank you for making this. I just had to this with my cat. My dad threatened to declaw her after she scratched the couch. She has a scratching post but it’s old as hell. He won’t replace it. I don’t believe in declawing, it’s just cruel, so I’d rather do this.

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.

@@lisabelle7553 that cardboard doesn't always work. I got a kit for my cat and he NEVER used it. Keeps scratching the cloth on our recliner and likes to scratch us just as we walk by. After it got my dad and made him bleed for several minutes, we've been given an Ultimatum to trim the nails immediately or rehome the cat. It also got me in the corner of the eye once running across the bed while I was laying down
Oh my gaaww! the way he looks at yoouuu!!
Any tips for the upper nails?

Your voice sounds exactly like Kylie Jenner! Beautiful cat by the way 🐱
Do you do his back claws?
Can I cut the back feet as well? My cat's back claws are long
aww...he's beautiful :)

Dont forget the first rule: SQUISH THAT CAT
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.
Can I clip a kittens nails or not? I’m not sure if it’s safe😊 or not
What breed is marley?
and the rear ones?
aw.. thanks... Got 2 kittens to trim later. hope it works
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
