1. Caresstheirpawswith hands
To make trimming your cat's nails easier, it's important to get them used to having their paws handled. Training your cat when they're young is best but if you have an older cat, you can still get some training in.
When your cat is calm or when you're grooming them, stroke their paws a few times so they get used to the feeling and press the pads of their paws to expose their nails.
If they react negatively, stop what you're doing
and wait a few days before trying again.
2. Taking a break
When trimming your cat's nails, taking a break will definitely help the process run more smoothly.
You can take a break after each paw to help your cat relax or you can take a break after trimming just a few nails if your cat becomes agitated quickly.
You can also play with your cat
first before you trim their nails so they become tired and less likely to fight
you off.
3. Using the proper tool and technique
Lastly, using the proper tool and the proper technique can be really beneficial when it comes to trimming their nails.
Some cats may react better to clippers or to a nail grinder so it's important to assess how your cat responds to the tool itself.
If you're unsure about how to clip your cat's nails it's best to ask their vet about the right way to trim them so both you and your cat are comfortable.
