    I was walking home and this stray kitten keeps following I was worried that a vehicle might run him over so I decided to pick him up, he was so quiet so I just decided to take him home, Bathed him and trim his nails he was shaking and scared I didn't know if it was natural for a stray to be like that or I did something wrong.

      Loren I’m sure he was very nervous and scared to be in such new surroundings. It sounds like he had an instinct that he could trust you! And he was right! Way to go getting him cleaned up and nails trimmed 🙌 I’m sure he’ll warm up to you very quickly and stop the shaking 😊

    Kelsey and Emmette,
    My husband and I adopted two kittens a few days ago. The girl looks just like "Butter". I found your kitten pedicure videos and decided to give it a try. I have the scissors you recommended, still in packaging from a while back. I squeezed the little toes a few times. It just ended up with the kitten running away. 😏😏 Then finally, I was able to complete our little girl's trimming. When it's the boy's turn, he ran away two clips later. We got him later after a nap, wrapped him in a burrito, and finished all 18. Thank you so much for making it simple. Two thumbs up! 👍👍 I would recommend your video to anyone.

    I am a new kitten owner.
    A friend says you need to trim the front paws every 2 weeks
    to deter them from climbing and tearing up furniture .
    He says he only trims the back paws every month or 2.
    Our kitten is hard to hold still, so I am anxious to do this as quickly
    and with as little effort as possible.
    He also said to give them treats when it is done.

    • @LoveTheseCats_
      @LoveTheseCats_  5 лет назад +10

      Congrats on your new kitten! I agree that the front claws get trimmed more than the back claws. Treats are great, but I find it works best to just go slowly and develop trust! Play with his paws gently when you’re petting him, and when you sit down for a nail trim, it’s okay to stop halfway through a paw. Before you know it you won’t even think twice about doing a quick nail snip, and your kitten will hardly notice because he’s so used to it.

      Using a towel to gently wrap the kitten may help. I have another video on this, should be linked in the description. But also - don’t feel like you need to clip all the nails at once. If you can do one or two before the kitten flips out, I’d take that and then try for a few more later. No shame in doing all the nails over a couple of sessions/days. And feel free to give kitty a little treat or snack before/during after the nail sesh, to help her have positive associations with it

      Your kitten sounds fun! I’d recommend gently touching his paws when he is a little sleepier, such as after he eats or when he’s waking up from a snooze. I talk more about this in my article here lovethesecats.com/how-to-cut-kitten-nails and you also might find my post on redirecting kitten biting behavior helpful too because I go over teaching kittens the difference between hands and toys lovethesecats.com/stop-kittens-biting . 2 months is still young and a super active kitten phase! It sounds like you’re developing a great relationship with your little guy so I’m sure you’ll get the nail clipping down in no time 🐱🤗

    • @LoveTheseCats_
      @LoveTheseCats_  4 года назад +3

      I’m so glad this was helpful! Kittens nails grow quickly but they’re all a little different. And it depends on how short you cut the nails, and how long they can get before you feel they are too long. Probably you’ll want to clip them every 2 weeks at least. I tend to keep a few pairs of clippers around the house and whenever I notice them getting long I’ll scoop up the kitten and clip as many nails as I can before they get impatient and run away. This works better once your kittens are used to having their nails clipped 🙂

      Blood of Nel probably. Nails tend to be sharper on younger cats, just because they are so small and thin that they turn into sharp little Velcro hooks that catch on everything. It also depends on what your cat uses as a scratching post and their scratching habits

      D M You probably can, but kitten nails are a different shape than human nails. That will make it harder to clip them with regular nail clippers, which might mean a negative experience for you and the kitten. The ones I’m using here are less than $5 at your local pet store or online (linked below vid)

      Miifu sometimes cats don’t like for their hands to be held so it might just be that. Be mindful not to trim her nails too short in the future but otherwise she should be just fine. If you see visible signs of redness or infection definitely get her checked out. I’m sure she’ll be back to normal in no time 🙂

    I think I cut my cats nails way too short what do I do?

    • @LoveTheseCats_
      @LoveTheseCats_  4 года назад +1

      She will be fine. Cutting them longer is just my recommendation for a couple of reasons. If she did not bleed and she was not uncomfortable, then you’re good. It’s just much more likely that you will cut a wiggly kitten’s paw/“fingertip” if you are aiming to cut the claws very short. The goal is for the kitten to have a good experience getting a nail trim. When we take our fosters to spay/neuter appointments, the vet techs often cut the nails VERY short while they are sedated, to the point that it almost looks like it will hurt the kitten to walk afterwards. The claws grow back though and the kittens are fine. Congrats on trimming your kitty’s nails! It takes a lot of courage to do it at first 🙂🐾💕

    • @LoveTheseCats_
      @LoveTheseCats_  4 года назад +4

      Oh no! My experience is much more with kittens than with cats, but when we did have to trim adult foster cat nails on one or two occasions, it was a lot more intimidating! Here’s an article I put together that covers our approach lovethesecats.com/how-to-cut-cat-nails/ basically, 1) do you *really* need to? LOL 2) take time to gain trust and get them used to touching their paws and extending claws. Use whatever sort of bribery - treats, pets, etc - to see if they’ll be okay with you touching their paws. 3) go slow and be patient and do the same as I demonstrate in our kitten nail trim videos 4) burrito the cat or have a friend help constrain if needed 5) enlist a professional because some cats are JUST not having it! GOOD LUCK! 😩🐾😅🐱💞

    thank you. I am a new cat owner, and I thought if we trim their nails, they will not grow again :) I found animals in sanctuary that they do not have nails because the owner wanted them to be pets and they are wild animals. I do not wanted to be like these people so I kept the kitten nails ha ha ha. thanks God I found your video after 1 week only of having y little kitten

    I appreciated this video, thank you! Lots of good tips. I have a 5 month old kitten and have taken her to someone in order to have her nails trimmed. I've been thinking of doing it myself to save money and it's best to start young. I'm just nervous so I'm watching as many videos as possible. I liked yours for these tips:
    - trim them when they are sleepy or calmer and not after playing with them
    - visually seeing where and what part to trim
    - how to press the paws to bring the nails out
    - to pet/press the paws when not trimming so they get used to the action
    Now, I just need to see how to burrito a kitten!... just in case.
    Question - Does it matter if the nail clipper is vertical to the nail or horizontal?
    Thanks so much,
    Susan

    • @LoveTheseCats_
      @LoveTheseCats_  3 года назад

      Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m so glad this was helpful 🤗 Regarding how to hold the clippers - cat claws are pretty evenly round, so it shouldn’t matter if the clippers are horizontal or vertical on the nail. The clippers I use have a rounded opening as well. I typically come at the nail from the side (horizontally) as that makes me feel like I have the most control and can securely clip the tip of the claw 🙂 good luck with your kitten and let me know how it goes! 🐱💞

      Try it when he’s sleepy, or after he eats! And go slowly. Start by just touching his paws and playing with his toes. Then after he is used to that try extending the nail. Then after that the next day maybe try clipping one. Building trust with these kittens takes time! They don’t understand what the heck we are trying to do to their feet 🙀😂🐱💕

      Kelsey and Emmette calm a cat down by using a clip to make it think it’s being carried. It activates the cat’s “go-limp” reflex-without hurting it.

    • @LoveTheseCats_
      @LoveTheseCats_  7 лет назад +3

      Erika Erika oh yes! I’ve seen others use a clip on the scruff as well. I’ve never used a clip, but if I need to i’ll typically grip them on the scruff with my hand so I can use the right amount of pressure and also keep them from escaping :) but once the kitties are comfortable with their paws being handled they often don’t need to be scruffed at all!

    Sadly, my cat was adopted at 6 months. I can play - caress her feet, but that doesn’t help when I try to trim nails. I have to take her to the $ vet $ who insures me my cat is a perfect lady for them 😡.
    I cant keep affording this. Next time I am going to armor up w/ leather gauntlet rose trimming gloves and wrap her in a blanket and I guess force her??

    • @LoveTheseCats_
      @LoveTheseCats_  4 года назад +3

      N. Gibbs do you have a friend or partner who can help you? If one person holds the scruff and/or the towel around them, the other can probably do nails more easily. I’m sure this is what happens at your vet. Keep working on touching her feet and she may get used to the process over a long period of time. And try giving her some really yummy treats before and after trimming her nails. I hope next time it goes better for you!!

      The Business Buddha she's trimming her nails instead of declawing. Trimming their nails keep them from getting infection, in-grown nails, and even hurting themselves. Their nails grow all the time just like ours.
