My Willow has very long sharp claws that don;t retract all the way. We can't allow her to sit in our laps without a towel between her and our clothes.
I've noticed that our adopted cat, Dude, has started to be playful with her a few times, but seems to retreat after a few days and avoids her for a couple of weeks. This cycle has happend three times now. Oviously he wants to be friends, and so does she, but her claws are a huge issue when they play.
I clipped them when she was young, up to a year old, but I missed once and she never allowed me to clip them again. She can do serious damage with her claws when she struggles and I finally gave up. I have scars...
Veterinarians here refuse to clip cat claws. I've offered to pay whatever it costs to bring her in very couple of months, but they just won't do it. As a result, I have to let Dude's claws grow out, too.
Does anyone here have any advice to offer me? It makes me sad to see them start to play and then watch him retreat after she's cuffed him with her daggers.
