I have 2 cats. When we first got them we clipped their nails but do not anymore. We have three scratchers. My boy uses them a little more often than my girl. I would say my boy gets his claws stuck from time to time but my girl gets hers stuck all the time (she is always kneading). We adopted my girl when she was 3 and she has never liked to be held and is cautious to being approached. So nail clipping is not something she tolerates too well. But her getting stuck is beginning to become a pretty often annoyance. She will lay on me and has pierced me several times and then get her claws stuck in my cloths or blankets. I try to help her get her nails out but I can just tell that in the moment she gets stressed out when stuck in something. Any suggestions? Do I need to start clipping her nails again or file them? I could put a clipper or file on a side table by our couch and only do it when she comes to me. Just thinking that way she wouldn’t be scared when I approached her. Maybe something to get her to use the scratchers (may only be a temporary fix though)? Any other ideas welcomed! Thanks
