Clipping my kittens' claws

Me again

The girls' claws are getting a bit long now and I want to clip them to minimise the amount of damage they could potentially cause. I went to Pets At Home this evening to have a look at clippers but wasn't sure what to go for. They had a pair which looked like a pair of scissors and another pair that looked like a huge pair of pliers! There was supposedly a third pair called guillotine something but they didn't have any stock.

Which one should I get? It's more than likely going to have to be me that does it and I am looking for something that will be very easy to use but not stressful for the girls or me (I am such a chicken!) Thanks in advance for your advice

Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!

Should have posted this in care and grooming - doh! Mods, please feel free to delete this thread when you see it. I'll repost in the correct area

We just use human nail clippers and clip sideways. If you have never clipped claws before get someone to show you first because you don't want to clip into the quick.

It's really simple and quick once you get the hang of it.

Good luck.
