That is a great demonstration. I would definitely show a picture of what “the quick” is exactly. I think we all assume it’s getting close to the sensitive part of the nail but just to be sure I would show a picture of the quick and the difference between the clear part of the nail and the clear part of the nail with nerves inside
@@Chewy I agree! I have a question. I've had all of my cats on the Onguard spot on flea medication that I got from Chewy but my black female cat, Lily has got flea bites on her skin that feels like little scabs. So I bought this Homeo Pet skin and itch drops from Chewy but she still itches and scratches all the time. Is there something else that you can recommend that I can get to help her? 💕😿💕

That was an EXCELLENT tutorial for any level Cat owner. I'm impressed that it benefits those from highly experienced, multi-Cat-owning crazy Cat people to morons. Thank you very much. Respectfully, Flip
We know we're not quite the same Firestarters, but if you look up CatCo here on RU-vid, it should pull up the band you were looking for; great band by the way! 🎶 If you ever need any help finding the right pet supplies for your little one we're always here for you guys.
@@Chewy Oh, I found them with the search. Was just commenting on the oddity that is google ads. Best of luck with your day, random person that manages a youtube channel devoted to various animal related implements.
The biggest mistake people make is putting it off so long that there is a problem, and they feel that they have to cut ALL the claws as much as possible, right NOW! That is the very best way to traumatize your cat (and perhaps injure them) & guarantee you will have trouble with this for the rest of its life! The most important component here is trust! You need your cat(s) to trust you, and you need to maintain that trust! Just as with collars, the earlier in a cat's life they experience this, the more accustomed to it they can become. This starts with only manipulating paws and pads, without clipping. Cats' (and dogs, too) paws can be fairly sensitive, and cats often have personal space issues. Developing this trust takes time and is a somewhat deeper level of trust that may require some conditioning (days to weeks). Paw petting to get the cat accustomed to hand/paw contact without negative experiences is the first step; after repeated occaisions, gentle manipulation, without splaying toes gets you halfway there. And of course, you will want the cat to be calm, and comfortable to begin with. (Personally, I have known many cats that I would expect would react negatively to the noise and vibration of a grinder, although I have known dogs that were fairly tolerant of that sort of thing, as long as you remain aware that heat can build up grinding big, thick claws...) Always have more than one trimming tool in your cat spaces, so you can have them handy near the places the cat(s) are most comfortable with high contact interaction. If you think the cat is relaxed enough, just quickly position the easiest toe to get at, and just quickly clip the little sharp bit at the end, and let it go! Reward with calming pets. Do another one later, etc., etc.,... Eventually, if you can teach your cat that this is not a big production & traumatic contest of wills, you can get to where you can do more at one episode, without having big problems. Don't pull out the treats until you get to the point where you can do a whole paw; then give a treat (And pets), and come back later to do another paw. And of course, you can begin to trim *a little* bit more off, but, again, think baby-steps here! Most pets that are not getting in a mile or two outside every week are going to get pretty long claws, especially rears, and that can become ~uncomfortable for them, so, as long as you can keep the clipping from being a struggle, they may associate the solution to some relief. Keep your kitty copasetic!
Thank you for the tips, my husband was pushing me to get this done ASAP, your tips let me stick to my plan to take it slow. We've only had the cat for a week, rescued from a bad home
@@klaudiaseitz3323 Well, best wishes...that kind of situation can go either way: a cat with several years of stressful living can take a serious time investment; other may quickly realize their fortunes have changed, and sometimes they really make some good progress towards trust, as long as things don't get intense... And, of course, some adult cats aren't that good at making new cat friends; some are! (Just like people!) I imagine/recommend that you are limiting the cats' space to begin with... That is one thing I picked up from watching Jackson Galaxy's show, and videos: that cat is going to need to have several places where it can feel safe, secure, comfortable, probably with a bit of control: you know they like to observe the happenings (inside, or out), in safety. That's probably your biggest challenge: getting them to accept the places you want them to, or that you can grant them, before they pick their own, and cause problems, marking...that, and, of course, a feline turf war! 😳 Good Luck! Post some pictures! 😉
Sounds like you made that decision pretty quickly for Magic, but you should do what's best for him in the long run. Is there anything Chewy related we can help you with?
Will someone please show me how to cut a cats nails that is uncooperative & pissed. Because that's how my 5 cats react once I have their hand in mine. They want no part in what's about to happen. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
