How do I cut my cats nails
October 9, 2007
Do you take your cat to a professional to get his or her nails cut or do you try to cut them yourself?

You can take your cat to a groomer or vet but if you’re up to it there is no reason not to do it yourself. (of course your cat may think otherwise but it’s always worth a try)
To trim the nails place your cat in your lap or on the floor between your legs. Press on the pad of its paw with your fingers to make the claws come forward. The main part of the claw includes the pinkish-colored area, which contains nerves. Do not cut this part. The white tip (just past the pinkish area) is the dead tissue, which can be cut. Simply take the nail trimmer and cut this white tip off.
