      You dont “work” on your cats temperament. Your cat is like it is. Better to search for a way that is comfy for your cat. Dont put the cat in your lap when it doesnt want to.

    We did it!! Thank you! Our 20-year old cat could barely walk - he’s never had to have claws trimmed b/c he spent time outside, but as he’s aged, he doesn’t want to go out anymore. His claws were out of control. We were shocked, but he actually let us just pet him and trim the nails (it did take two people for the living and the trimming). And the beer def helped! Thanks so much!! 🎉🥳

  • @MichaelAgee
    @MichaelAgee Před 4 lety +61

    My wife and I really were surprised how informative as well as so funny. You really made me laugh out loud with the "drink" comment. Also I thought the suggestion to start touching their paws so they get desensitized. I guess my cat could join me in beer as an alternate means of desensitizing. Great Job. We bet you are a lot of fun and you probably have lots of friends. Mickey and Sophia

Under the table! Genius! At the moment I'm just giving treats and touching her paws calmly, squeezing out the claws. Hopefully a few days of that I can do my first trim myself :) just need to get some wine beforehand.....

    Great tips for many cats, I'm sure. With our "Pepper" cat (part Savannah, part Maine Coon and more), as I *gently* press to extend her claw, the INSTANT the nail trimmer comes in contact with the claw, she goes BALLISTIC! She looks similar to your cat in the video, very sweet most of the time. MUCH more aggressive when it's claw trimming time. Will try the treats/ under the table trick next.
    Pepper does love to play when I tease her, without using the scalpels (aka claws). Desensitize? Not a chance. I've done that since she was a kitten. Still no joy. Just much caution.
    As "onlyoatmeal" mentioned: "Came for the title, stayed for the personality and tips!" Same here! Really enjoyed your video! My wife has a t-shirt which aptly reads: "I love my cats, and maybe three other people." I'm fortunate I'm one of the three others (I think).

      Maybe it’d be appropriate with a vet visit? I don’t doubt some cats are just not gonna tolerate it because of their personality, but in your case I’d probably see a vet to make sure the issue isn’t that she’s hurting in some way and that being the reason she freaks out whenever you touch her claws.
