Pamper Your Cat - Nail Care For Your Pampered Cat

It’s no joke!  You know that your cat’s claws can get out of control, right? Well, you can easily maintain them in a fashion that both you and your cat can live with! You can also use the time it takes for a bonding experience. A manicure is a very important routine in the life of your cat, too.

Whether we like it or not, cats have claws.  Some cats have longer, sharper claws than others. Depending on if your cat is an indoor or outdoor cat, you will want to modify the situation as soon as you can! If you start routinely manicuring your cat’s claws at an early age, you will most likely create a willing participant, and an enjoyable experience for all.  The first step is to get your cat accustomed to having his or her feet touched regularly.

First of all, make sure you attempt the manicure in a quiet space. You won’t want distractions, and neither will your kitty! Sometimes, it’s almost easier to choose a sneaky approach. It’s usually best to perform a manicure when your cat is relaxed, like when they are asleep! Not all cats are crazy about getting their nails trimmed, so if you wait until they are completely relaxed, it will turn out a little better.

If you have had cats for awhile, you are aware of the fact that they have a kind of inbred claw cutting alert that transfers seismic waves of panic among some of the most trusting and loyal pampered cats. If that is the story of your furry feline, then it may be best for you to have your cat’s claws fitted with rubber tips. You can find these rubber tips at many pet supply stores and veterinarians. They are relatively inexpensive, too.

First of all the rubber tips stop the fighting between you and your beloved cat when it comes to manicure time. They won’t need as much attention to their claws with them on. Then, you won’t have to get so angry with him or her the next time they decide to use your new sofa for a scratching post, either. Another great reason to use these rubber tips is to help your cat take better care of his or her self. Cats are always cleaning and scratching and sometimes, when their claws are sharp, they even injure themselves by simply scratching!

Okay, if you have tried the whole manicure thing and it doesn’t’ t seem to be working, you can always call on your trusted groomer! You can always take them to the local groomer or vet, or you can even have the nails fixed so that neither of you have to worry about it too much. Whatever you decide, make sure that your cat isn’t traumatized by the whole event.
