So I have two cats,
Hugo a big 15 pound 7 year old guy who tolerates his nails being trimmed pretty well and he'll let me do it when it needs to be done and he rarely scratches anything but his posts and catnip scratcher.
And then theres Radar. She's about a year old and she's just about 5 pounds. When she was a baby she had an accident that broke her hips and caused what I'm thinking is nerve damage as she cannot retract her back claws. She tolerates her nails being trimmed on her front paws occasionally, and i say that very loosely as she will fight you to the death before she allows it. And she claws everything except people, she leaned that quickly when she was little.
I'm due to have my baby in 19 days and I'm scared she's going to claw him on accident. I know she wouldn't mean to but her back paws are such a problem and she has seriously gouged me a few times trying to cuddle. So i don't know what to do. I don't know if claw caps would work for her back feet or if i should just get her declawed on her back feet and try claw caps on her front. I don't want to declaw her even though she is strictly indoors and she doesn't really NEED her claws.. what do I do?
