Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone here uses protective gloves while grooming their cats (for example, during claw clipping or brushing teeth- tasks which many cats dislike). I am curious to know, because I came across a website that sells gloves made of nitrile (the site is http://www.bitebuster.com). For those who do use them, how easy is it to groom a cat while wearing them (vs. the use of bare hands)?
I've decided to get myself a pair of puncture resistant gloves, as I would like to brush my kitty's teeth, but do not relish the thought of sticking a bare finger in her mouth. The reason for this is because she often attempts to bite human hands after rambunctious play (which she would engage in 24/7, if given the chance).
I'm taking steps to discourage this practice, but I know it will take a while for kitty to fully grasp this task.
If anyone has some ideas/feedback to pass my way, then feel free to do so.
