Methods of care

Cat claws are used by cats to catch mice, climb and defend themselves. If the owner keeps the cat to catch mice, of course the claws should not be trimmed. If the owner has a cat as a companion animal, the cat’s claws should be trimmed frequently to avoid scratching people, clothes, furniture, flooring, etc. The cat’s claws should be trimmed once a month or so. Trimming the feet and claws should be started from a young age, once a month or so. The specific methods are as follows:

Hold the cat in your arms, grasp 1 foot of the cat with your left hand and slightly squeeze it with your thumb, forefinger and middle finger to make the claw extend. Then hold a nail clipper in your right hand and carefully cut off the transparent part of the front end of the claw, and then polish the claw with a small file on the nail clipper. When trimming, do not cut too much so as not to hurt the cat’s feet. Then cut off and polish the other claws in turn.
