I feel accomplished!

post #1 of 5

I just trimmed the kittens' claws for the first time! I feel like a real "meowmy" now.

I had to use the towel trick, but I think that's only because by the time I decided to do it, they were playing and a little hyper and wiggly. I got all four of Simon's paws and 3 of Garfunkel's Typical.

They each got two Greenies and lots of love afterwards!! I've been cleaning the house all day so we haven't had our usual cuddle-intensive Caturday I'll make it up to them tomorrow! Back to cleaning.

Hooray!! It takes both me and my husband to trim nails, but both of our kitties are good sports about it. I think they know they'll get treats!

Congratulations. It is a great accomplishment. If you can pick them up every day and inspect their nails, you will find they are very agreeable. I have to give Aoibhe eye drops every morning so we have this routine, she gets eye drops and a nail inspection, trimming any that have gotten too long, then she gets her treat. Kiefer then gets a nail inspection and trimming if necessary, then his treat. They are really getting good at sitting still for this.

Hee hee, thanks y'all! It was a little nerve-wracking, especially because of the wiggling they were doing. Nothing like an image of your cat bleeding and in pain because you clipped the quick instead of the nail to relax you

It's about that time again, ain't it?? I'll see if I can corral them today or tomorrow and get another session in!
