I'm a first-time cat owner and got Junior, an 8-month old tabby, about a month ago. I've done quite a bit of reading on how to trim his claws but am wondering how important it is to do. I have a 32" sisal scratching post which he uses just about every time he walks by. I also have a flat cardboard-type scratching toy which he also uses regularly. He has never tried scratching any furniture or myself, although he does occasionally rub his paws on the rough edge of my older couch. Also, he's very skittish and I'm not sure I could trim his claws even if I tried.
So, just how important is trimming a cat's claws?
