One of my kitties was born feral, and even though she is in my house 95% of the time, she still likes to go out occasionally. I don't want her to go out...but there's hell to pay if I don't let her! LOL She usually only goes out for a few minutes, and only in my yard...but with cats, you never know! So I have never trimmed her nails. She might need those nails outside!
But that's my dilemma! When she's inside, she is SUPER AFFECTIONATE...always touching my leg, jumping on my lap, wanting to be held. That's great...and most of the time she retracts her nails...but sometimes she "forgets"...and OUCH!!! ( If I ever have to go into the hospital, they'll swear somebody is abusing me with a straight pin!)
My question...any ideas what I can do? Was I told wrong when I was told not to trim her nails?
