Kitten

[Losty]

Please don't trim your cats nails, and certainly don't get it declawed. Learn to stop kids from annoying your cat or just keep them away and it will be fine. Most kids have it coming anyway.


I second this. As soon as I open a big box, my cat loves to jump in it and will stay there for hours.

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.
