Claw Trimming???
Trying to tailor my cat claw trimming program to each cat’s needs. Haha. For my big orange and white, it works well (well kind of) for me to straddle him (obviously not putting my weight on him) on the floor. He didn’t like it but we got through it. I tried that with my Flamepoint, and he raised such holy hell I thought he’d have a heart attack. Generally my three cats get along well but especially the boys play/fight sometimes and Finny the Flamepoint constantly has scratches around his eyes. (I think everyone has got good at closing their eyes quickly!)
Please no mean comments about what’s wrong with me that I can’t trim a cat’s claws and all of that stuff. I’ve had cats my whole life. It seemed to be easier and I could usually find someone else to hold them while I did it. I’m hesitant to use the towel method because now my orange and white is terrified anytime he sees me walking around with a towel. I have one of those grooming stands and Finny the Flamepoint would certainly fit into the thing. I feel like part of why he freaked out was being restrained. I know he would be in the grooming stand, but at least he wouldn’t be on the floor? Idk.
I also have Feliway diffusers on the regular and sprayed a little extra Feliway before hand.
Thanks for any helpful ideas
