Holy fuck...we just clipped Milk's claws |
|
:wow:
I have NEVER seen a cat freak out like that over claw clipping. It's a miracle that we aren't both bleeding to death.
I'm making an appt. to get Soft Paws put on asap. She gave Kitteh a bad wound on his face that I think may require a trip to the Vet. Something's gotta give here. Jeebus.

3. Excellent idea...or else you have to have Milk sedated to cut her claws. |

4. My Vet will put the Soft Paws on... |
|
All I know is that I'm never trying that again. You'd think we were trying to murder her. Jeez Louise.

9. Whoa, that is one pissed off cat! |
|
She wasn't that loud, but very very thrash-y. It was nuts, but I got all 4 feet done.
Now, to wash poor Kitteh's wound and subject him to the dreaded lampshade collar. Sigh.

11. that's how Bob gets when i clip his and his nails are black so i'm always afraid |
|
i'm going to cut them too far, i do have the styptic powder but it's never a good time. I took him to the vets once to have them cut and he peed all over her, like a huge amount and he still ended up bleeding.

12. I managed to not cut the quick on any of them! |
|
:woohoo:
Which is amazing, considering the fight she put up. Un-fucking-believaable.
Oy, and now Kitteh just spewed up all of the wet food he just ate. Jeebus Christ, what's going on around here tonight?!

14. Try doing just one paw at a time. Less traumatic that way if you divide up the time |
|
they are under duress. Though it sounds like nothing would have helped Milk calm down.

15. I would have, but after what she did to Kitteh's face, |

I felt it best to get all four done at once.

16. I would do them while they are sleeping. |
|
I could usually get at least a couple of toes done. Sometimes, if they were especially sleepy, I could get them all done.
