Hi, I live in China and I took in a folded ear cat March 2015. He was likely only a couple months old but as he's grown up I've noticed he likely suffers from the gene defect that inbred folded cats have if their parents are both folds. His tail is short and very thick and his hind legs are also angled outwards. If he wants to run he tends to hop with his back legs instead of actually running. He also does not like to jump so I've built small stairs for him to reach my bed, the couch and his cat tree. But there is a problem that I'm having a very hard time fixing. That is his hind claws grow very awkwardly. They grow into his toes sometimes and the last time I checked one claw had grown so that it was actually pushing his toe pad aside and had begun to grow into a spiral shape in on itself. All my cats I've ever had before were very good about taking care of their own hind claws, we only ever needed to trim their front claws. I'm able to trim his fronts but he will absolutely not let me touch his hind paws. Even when I can see that the claw is very dangerously close to growing into his foot, he won't let me even lightly touch his hind paws. The only thing I'm able to do is have my girlfriend hold him so that I can hold his paw in place and cut the claw. But he is very aggresive and often times will bite very hard. I'm 100% against declawing cats for purposes of saving your own furniture but I really don't know what else I can do. Instead of having to hold him down, which is no fun for either of us, every 4 weeks I think maybe just declawing his hind paws might be best. Unless anyone else has any suggestions that might work better, that's the point of me coming here asking for help, I just want to hear everyones thoughts and opinions. Thanks a lot!
