I intend on asking a Veterinarian about trimming a cat's nails, since what is written online things like PetMD and people on here seems to bisect.(June 11, 2016 at 4:14 pm)Shining_Finger Wrote: I don't see why I shouldn't trim my cat's nails, at least from time to time. I trim my dog's nails and obviously avoid the quick. Here is a Wikihow page on trimming a cat's nails.

Go ahead and read it a bit.
Dogs and cats are not the same. I think a good scratching post is all you need instead of trimming the claws. If you decide to, be sure to have gauze and anti bacterial cut spray/cream on hand for your arms.

Wet food, preferably a kitten mix.
Give him a while and the dogs should acclimatise to him and no to declawing. It's cruel and extremely painful gor the cat. Cat bed. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
I would never declaw a cat. My cat has her claws. She was spayed, and that was as far as I was willing to go.

Lots of cats still seem to have this very natural instinct to hunt and survive on their own, so it seems awful to cut off their claws. It would be like cutting off a human's fingers

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie (June 11, 2016 at 8:36 pm)Yeauxleaux Wrote: Lots of cats still seem to have this very natural instinct to hunt and survive on their own, so it seems awful to cut off their claws.

Don't ever hold a cat against its will. If it starts to squirm, let it go. Cats can be as loving and affectionate as dogs, just on their terms (Min's slave meme).

And remember the, "Aww ... isn't that cute" maaaaaaay not be so "cute" on down the road. Bad habits start young.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
