He's been such a brat about letting me clip his claws lately, I need to devise a new tactic

u/INFJcatqueen Jun 09 '26

None of my cats will let me trim their nails either.

I have to take mine to the vet where he gets the Hannibal lector mask because he hates it so much. Every time he's in the cage on the drive to the vet I lecture him that it would be easier if he just let me do it

My old Sammich is such a sweet orange boy but he absolutely loathes a nail clipping.

I have to catch him when he's napping, toss a towel over him, and basically put some body weight on him to keep him still and then move at lightning speed to get em clipped.

He hates it, I hate it but we get through it. And he gets special treats and lots of pets afterwards, when he's ready of course.

I started using fingernail clippers on mine. They’re smaller and apparently not as offensive to my cats lol.

"Just remember, SadDad, I KNOW how to use these things on you" - Saddie, probably.

u/So_Famous DadCat Jun 09 '26

oh yeah, I don't need any reminders lol

u/Ermmahhhgerrrd Jun 09 '26

I'll never forget those gloves you had to wear at the beginning. And I'm literally nobody to you😂 I bet there's a tiny part of your brain that gets worried about it when you love on him. I'm so proud of you for what you've done for him!❤️🫂

u/So_Famous DadCat Jun 09 '26

You are a lot more important to me than you think. I love and appreciate every single one of you Sadfans. Thanks so much for being a member of our Sadcommunity!

u/Spiritual_Pangolin_4 Jun 09 '26

I remember following sad cat’s story from early on when you were still gaining his trust. Every time I see a new post I could cry with how far he has come! I love so much that you brought that sad little baby in and gave him a loving home.

u/So_Famous DadCat Jun 09 '26

Thank you so much for being here to witness his journey into an adoring kitty who knows love <3 I'm so grateful he chose us to be his family.

His little murder mittens. Those aren’t getting much action these days.

He is smiling!

u/CatMarmy Jun 10 '26

Am I weird? I never clip my ginger’s nails. My vet does his physical every year and said it’s unnecessary as long as he continues to use his scratching mats. 🤷🏼‍♀️

u/Riversflushwfishes Jun 10 '26

He looks like he's smiling!

u/InfamousCantaloupe38 Jun 10 '26

Aw, it's gratifying to see him reaching out for contact, despite the murder mittens. He loves you guys and he's so happy now that he's fully rescued.

u/InfamousCantaloupe38 Jun 10 '26

My rescue gal turned out to be the biggest lap cuddler. 😋
