I Cut My Cat’s Claws With Human Clippers—Chaos Ensued
Ever tried trimming your cat’s claws with regular nail clippers? I did, and let’s just say, it was an Olympic-level event. Pro tip: wait until your cat is in a food coma or post-playtime daze. I wrapped mine like a burrito (towel, not tortilla), sat her in my lap, and prayed she wouldn’t spot a bird mid-trim.
Massage the paw, extend the claws, and—here’s the kicker—turn the clippers sideways. Otherwise, you’ll split the nail and your cat will plot your demise. Only snip the white tip, never the pink quick. If you mess up, stay calm, grab some cornstarch, and apologize profusely. Treats are your best friend—bribe, bribe, bribe.
Don’t expect to finish all ten claws in one go. If your cat morphs into a furry tornado, call it quits and try again tomorrow. And yes, scratching posts are a must unless you like shredded furniture.
