When I brought my 5 month old kitten to the vet, they clipped her nails for me. I still kind of feel uncomfortable doing them, I am one of those people where I have to DO something to learn it, and I don't really want to practice on my little pal. I feel like her nails are not really long at all though, she has a scratching post, a scratching ramp thing (we call it the kitty cat motorcycle ramp), and then a cat tower that she loves to hook on with her claws and pull herself into.
Does every cat need their nails trimmed? I know that is part of the reason why they need scratching posts, because that kind of "files" it down. If I have to do it I will do it, I just didn't really know when? I am sure that the vet was specific, but I was so overwhelmed and stressed that Emma was going to be scared that I probably was not paying the best attention. Emma was fine. LOL. Just sits there on the table while they examine her.
She definitely uses scratching posts a LOT. We put one at the top of the stairs, and then two at the bottom. Is it possible for them to get their nails down to a good level with that alone? Ever since we put the scratching post at the top of the stares it is great, because there is a kitty obstacle course every night. This was last night's adventure...(hopefully I am allowed to post a pic, if not please just let me know)
