I just want to say I love all the comments in here 😂😂 this is truly our cats world and we’re just living in it.
😸
My Rainbow Kitty, Chynna, loved getting her nails trimmed. It was like a day at the spa for her. She would lay there, and let me cut her nails, both front and back, and then lay there and purr while I massaged her paws and toes, while she hugged my hand and gave gentle kisses and nibbles in return. The whole thing took about 30 minutes or more, and we both enjoyed the time together.
SakuraEtsu2007 I would very much appreciate a reply if you see this comment. I just trimmed my cats nails for the first time. she is an inside kitty only so she doesn't need to worry about defending herself. I trim my dogs nails so I'm aware of the quick and how careful to be. I can actually see my cats quicks as her nails are clear. I just trimmed a tiny bit off the tips because I didn't want to leave her with nothing to scratch with. theres plenty of nail left before the quick. but how short should I trim them? I know with my hounds I try to get them as short as possible so we don't have to do it as often. thanks for any advice!
Ivy m you cant cut too short because if i doo they'll bleed(ive done that mistake once when my cat was a kitty :'( ) but just cut the sharp part like idk a cm?
SakuraEtsu2007 omgggg too cute
Ivy m Luckyyy
Awhhhh ure soo lucky 😭💕
my cat makes the most evil sound imaginable when I trim her nails. after I trimmed her nails for the first time she was so pissed at me that she chewed off the tips of my work gloves lol
Dude... I gotta tell ya... that's like, the most cat thing a cat could do. Thanks for that.
Why would u trim them anyway may I ask?. Don't they need them
The title of this video should be "How to get decorative scars across every inch of exposed skin."
Should title this video how to make your cat go insane and bite you
KRAUSER 666 You can deactivate it
If you trian them from when they are young they will get used to it. I trim my cats claws regularly from since he was 2 months old...Now he's 8 months and does not mind at all that i do it on a monthly bases.
Ray Aquilina I hope there's references somewhere about how to train cat like that. I have one since 3weeks and now on 6th month, I only get to cut them while she's asleep.

I trim my cats nails for different reasons such as keeping my furniture safe.
Chris B and keeping myself safe
Get soft claws for the claws xD
My cat gets stuck on things when his claws are too long
then get??? him?? a?? scratching?? post??
Disk of Prudence not all cats like scratching post! I bought a few different ones for my first cat and he acted like they didn’t exist! My other cats tho 👀 they rock with them heavy
My cat and i have a big WWE fight while cutting his nails
And wash your hands when your done cause you cat digs in the litter box!
LOL yes, I've learned that the hard way. You go to push the claws out and it's all smelly and gross! 💩
Lmv.4 94 well.i lick my cat
Soo
GinnieKinz💜 I actually like the smell of my cat’s paws 🐾 and always miss their smell even when I’m not at home. It’s gross for some people but it’s not for me.
Happy Emoji so you like the smell of shit?....ok
Happy Emoji weirdo
i know this is an old vid, but telling me to use human nail cutters sideways was the best advice i could get! my cat's ingrown nails were too thick for her cat nail trimmers, and we just used a human toenail trimmer (straight blades)...and it worked perfect. no digging into her paw pads now!
Gonna trim our 8 years old cat for the first time. Praying for my safety.
make sure you don't eat the cat for dinner
...are you still alive?
Abdurrahman Ahmed wow
@@thedolphinqueen9921 still alive! I never got the courage to trim his nails. Lol!
@@donacantillo Good. Brave perish early. Smart live from the brave's mistakes.
I cut my Cat's nails while she is sleep. I play with her paws all the time so she is used to the feeling. Then while she naps I trim away. This has been a life saver!
Wonderful!!
That's a good strategy! ❤ 🐱
Thanks! I followed this video while my sister held her. We gave her a treat after every paw. She did so well!
im scared to cut his nails :( hes always moving
Try doing it when he's sleeping. And remember: you can cut one today, another one tomorrow etc.
I started like that. Today I cut them easily when my cat sleeps.
I wrap my kitty in a towel
Same
Hearing you say "hello I'm Doctor Mike" made me so confused. I'm used to another Dr. mike on youtube. haha
Awww, that kitty looks like he's made out of a puffy pile of ashes! He's so fluffy and chubby! I wanna pet his face.
that gray cat is a stunnerrrrr
Her mom was a Russian Blue and her dad was a neighborhood Tomcat. 😸
Yes your video on trimming cat claws has been helpful. Thank you.
Great to hear!!
Luckily I’ve been blessed with an angel of a cat. I didn’t know what she’d do first time I cut her nails but she kept licking me while I did it. This video was helpful. Thanks!
Fantastic!! Thank you for the kind review of our video.
Thank you for posting this! I was always afraid to clip my cat's nails but after seeing this I feel a lot better about doing the procedure myself. The tips are great! Exactly what i was looking for. Thanks again!
That grey cat stole my heart
Thank you for your video Dr Mike
Nice video and wonderful way to explain how trim cats nails
Video is helpful in understanding the technique for trimming nails. I added a simple behavior mod technique that works for us. I took trimming my cats' nails slowly. We sat together a few days and I pressed on the paws, released, and gave them a treat (Temptations). The next few times I trimmed one nail, release, and treat. Eventually, we moved to two nails and then four. I have not gotten to two paws at one sitting--yet, but my cats and I are ok taking it slowly and happily. Try it and I think you will avoid the cat-from-hell scenario.
Thanks. I'll have to try this.
I'm so glad that my cat already deals with my bs already so he's just really content with everything I do
i don't have a cat......
does hamsters have nails?
yes, yes they do
then do it xD
Annie M Fucker's
Megan Sweet same but I’m getting a cat in a few years
Thank you. Very helpful
Great job!!!
They make this sound so easy...
He: Hey I'm doctor Mike
Me: No you're not
Thank you doc!
Thank you for the tips! XX))
Love the Spyro The Dragon music
I thought my cat would fight me but she just purred ❤️ I love her so much and I just comforted and loved on her after every nail
omg the cats in this vid are so cute ^_^
Thanks for the video :D really helped. My cat is very easy going, so he just sat there and purred while my gf held him and I was able to trim them. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. My brothers and I just clipped out cat's claws or nails. Just the tip though. She's a very delicate cat so it wasn't too bad at all.
thank you!
😂😂cat manicure
Alex ᗩᗷᑕ shut up
Yes. Styptic can even come in the form of like a soap bar and it was very commonly used back in the day of straight razor shaving. A drugstore, Walgreens, CVS, or an a local drugstore in the older part of your town would most likely have it. This in powder form probably works best on animals.
Thank you so much
Glad our video could help!
Bruh I’ve being focusing on his brows the entire time
Dead!
The blanket trick worked for me..
Thank You
My cat is very difficult, he doesn't like to be held forget about covering him in a blanket!
Have you tried spraying calming spray into the blanket? If no you can try if you want just let him sleep with it, then after a few days you can try picking him up couple secs and more and more till he is used to it.
BMW Mac yes does not work
Try doing it when they fall asleep! They don’t even notice
Yes mine would try to bite me each time I try to trim. So I only get to trim one nail before she runs off angry
Learn how to do a "towel wrap" or "kitty burrito"
tq so much bro
“Always remember to praise your cat...” 😸
2:00 Is not how most cats would react lmao
The cats in these videos are the most relaxed ones in the world that are nowhere else to be found
Instructions unclear now missing 3 fingers
My kittens are 3 months old and I trimmed their nails today for the first time. I did really well they've always been affectionate and they let me play with their paws so that's good. I didn't cut them too short because I was afraid of hurting them and it was my first time so I think I did okay. They definitely have to get used to it but they did well
thanks
I'm doing mine today. He's 17 next month and has diabetes with weak back legs so it's important we sort it before he catches them in the carpet especially navigating the stairs.
Bless all our lovely furry family members, they are the best.
Best of luck. Yes!
One of my family’s cats, Ash, will literally fall asleep on my lap as I’m trimming his nails. The only issue I have with him is when he rubs his face against the clippers for attention.
It’s no wonder he’s my favorite.
😹😻
I grabbed my kittens paw to try to extend them and she closed her eyes and started purring :')
I need an appointment with my vet. My cat is not like the ones in this video hahahah... I wonder if the vet will provide some calming aids
The best time to trim nails of cats are when there're asleep😉😉
they wake up...
That beautiful black cat looks pissed off ..what ate our cats bastards ..great Video ..learnt something great ..now we’re is my Sammy 😂😂😂😂😂
My cat really likes to get his nails stuck on the carpet as a little extra stretch or scratcher.
When I did cut his front nails, he hid his back legs by tucking it into his tummy. I also use jelly oven gloves on my right hand so he bites that. He jumps out of the towel
i love cat
I have 3 fostet kittens with very different personalities. Pebble actually fell asleep while i trimmed his nails, he absolutely loved it. Amber just sat there watching me do it, ready to jump away if i made sudden moves. But Riyo... oh Riyo :)) he turned into a little baby demon and hated every second of it, he really didnt want me stealing his precious sharp nails
These cats look so calm ! Mine never stays still no matter how man y times I baby him.
Iris Campos I
Is it better to try and apply the cutting pressure from the left and right
or up and down ?
I recommend using catnip , it’s easy when their wired
i wish my cat would sit still like that
can I use my old dog's nail trimmer?? he was a small chihuahua so his nail trimmer was small.
Its easiest if you have a crazy cat who hates it, to do it when there napping. Easy, no hassle or squirming everytime!
But docter when I hold his hand to trim it he just keepes moving and he kicks me with hes other leg
hi i am alana thank you dr mick
@Feizrul Nor Nurbi switch the m with the d.... MR DICK
I didn't even know you had to trim them~
I know how but my new kit is wilder and moving around every time when I press out the nails from their paw ...she starts to want to bite me. how to solve this situation? please help!
Fst time i purchased persian cat please tell me how i care it
I am a new kitten owner.
A friend says you only need to trim the front paws every 2 weeks
to deter them from climbing and tearing up furniture .
He says he only trims the back paws every month or 2.
Our kitten is hard to hold still, so I am anxious to do this as quickly
and with as little effort as possible.
He also said to give them treats when it is done.
how to make them stay calm is there anyway?
replace your cat with a pterodactyl that will work good luck
hsdjyru
+Nya what's that?
magicians-king You can grab gheir scruff lightly but not hard and they will calm down.
Do it when they're asleep
getting a cat next month
It's also worth mentioning that the claws of a cat can build up a lot of bacteria. This is common in outdoor cats but can occur with indoor cats from their litter boxes. If your cat's claws are sharp enough to cause damage to your skin, you could be at risk of a bacterial infection if it scratches you. My cat pricked the palm of my hand with his claws a while ago and as I type this the area is turning red and starting to numb a bit. I recommend washing your cat's paws regularly to prevent bacterial build up. If your cat ever claws you, wash the area thoroughly with soap to stop the infection from spreading. Worst case scenario, you'll get a fever and a build up of bacteria in the scratched area, causing a growth, and you'll have to be hospitalized for about a week or so.
Cats are pretty dangerous :(
My cat loves yanking his paw back as soon as I am clipping it and I’m scared it will rip out his nail. Any tips?
Yeah it does, skip to 1:10 in the video the label on the case also says its for dogs.
I WILL USE THE NAILS FOR A ICE CEAM TOPPING!!!!
I'm going to have a kitten and I'm going to name it Fluffy :3
Cherlyza did you ever get your “Fluffy” kitty? I used to have one named Fluffy, till my sister’s boyfriend came over one day, and said, “Where’s Foo Foo?” She was never called Fluffy again 😿😻
She's actually cutting her cat's nails with regular human nail clippers. The cat just handed the paw to her like she's in a nail salon. I mean I wish my cat is like that LOL
Thank u and do u need the file
Ah I have been terrified of cutting my cats nails too short. It seems I could cut more off than I am. I adopted her from a shelter two weeks ago (that apparently didn’t cut her nails) and they were like hypodermic needles when she would knead on me. Now they’re like less sharp hypodermic needles but it looks like I could make them so wearing jeans or something would keep the kneading safe and pain-free for her human friends. She’s not a huge fan of the nail trimming but is still relatively cooperative. I give her chicken & gravy baby food as a special treat for not fighting me during this task. She only gets this sort of treat when she does something unnatural (but necessary for her health) like let me handle her paws.
This will really help. I have to give our cat a bath today and one of the first things before bathing a cat is trimming his nails. To be honest I am pretty scared though this video made it look really easy. My only problem is that I have no cat trimmer.
Bambang Setiyawan If your cat is indoors one, you cant be a good cat owner.
1.Cats clean themselves, only times you have to bathe them is if they are very dirty, and even then a little bit
2.Cats dont have nails for no reason. So dont trim his nails!
How old should I start cutting my kitten's nails? They're both newborn and currently 3 weeks old
Pls someone reply this, I trimmed to my cat but it's bleeding over the nail. it will regrow or not? How many days it takes to Regrow the nail.
aww that grey cat looks exactly like mines. she died from a car accident :(
i dont even have a cat
but i do want one
Could I use a toe nail clipper
I'm looking for the best technique to hold him because Buddy likes to bite. it's literally a process. I have to do one paw every few hours. I'll keep looking...
You can replace styptic powder with flour, right
my 6 wks old loves to climb...declawing him will make him loose his grip.I wish I could trim his claws as he love to pounce me during rough play.No way he's gonna kept still
Im gonna be cutting my cat’s nails for the first time and if I remember correctly my mother would say that cutting the nail parallel to the curve ( 0:51 90dagrees from how its done here) has less of a chance of crashing the actual nail. i can’t remember if that’s actually what she said but I remember SOMETHING about cutting it a certain way to avoid the nail getting crushed aside from avoiding the vain inside it. does anyone have any information about that or am I better off taking him to a vet/groomer?
his nails being sharp has never been an issue for his health and as far as his scratching habits go he’s more well behaved in that regard than any other cat ive seen so ive always just kept an eye on it to make sure he never got an ingrown nail and simply got used to the minor scrapes and cuts to my skin but he needs to take medication every day that he hates and coming up i may need someone to come in and do it for me since i may be away from the house for a day and id hate for the person coming in to get even slightly scratched by a somewhat stranger cat for trying to help out.
To long, didn’t read:
I know about avoiding the vain in the nail. im concerned i may crush my cats nail depending on wether i cut it like he did in 0:51 or if the clippers were rotated 90 degrees
My cat Katelyn she's still a kitten and she always scratches me
i clipped my cats claw nails, for 2 reasons. 1 they are really pointy and sharp. 2 to help stop tearing up carpet or furniture and (scratching the person)
we just got a cat and she is tearing up our leather couch...I bought a pet nail clipper today and I fiugured i would watch a video first. Thank You sooo much for this video.
Soft paws will help :)
we don't want to go there
Little Bunny Foo Foo TV wait, what? lmboooo
