I don't clip my cat's nails and I never have. She is inside/outside, so she sort of clips them herself. She sharpens them on cement!!! That has to keep them short. They are fairly sharp, but aren't that long. She is six years old and I don't think that she would let me clip them. She doesn't like it when I hold her paws for a while. Does it matter that I don't clip them, or is there some life threatening illness if I don't?

Nail clipping?

Nope sounds like she is doing just fine without getting her nails clipped.
Clipping is something we do simply to avoid accidental scratches...or to keep little kitties from getting their claws caught in material (which happens all the time if they're little claws aren't clipped). Outdoor kitties need their claws as far as I'm concerned.
We only clip the claws of our full-time indoor cats.
