Should I cut my cat's nails?

This is a question that we all ask who, for the first time, cohabits with a felin, what to do with his nails?Should they be cut?Do we do it we?Do we go to our trusted veterinarian?

The answer to this question depends on each cat.If you are one of the lucky people who have a garden or outdoor space where the cat usually comes out, it’s very important that you don’t cut his nails, because these are necessary so that he can climb, escalate and even defend himself in case necessary from any intruder animal that could invade his space.

In the case of cats who live in homes and who don’t usually go out to the outside can be limed or cut, although this is not necessary if our minis has a good scatter at your disposal where you can limed them naturally.It is important that we educate our cat so that he learns that he is the scratch and not other furniture of the house where he should do this.

If we still consider that we should cut them, there are a number of tips we should follow:

Be used to it from very small to see it as something natural.

– When cutting, do it with a special stick designed for that purpose.

Press the handheld carefully to get the nail out.

Be careful to cut off the account.You should not exceed the line that may affect the inner vein you have on your nails.You can distinguish it by the color change of the nail where the vein begins.

Relax the animal and if you see that he is too nervous, leave the operation for another occasion when he is calm.

If you think you’re going to hurt him or the animal changes too much every time you try it, call your trusted health professional.

– When you cut them, either at home or in the veterinary clinic, offer him a golosine-shaped prize to relate it to something good.
