2:50 reminds me of when my parent's cat used to get her claws stuck all the time. She liked to pounce on your ankles any time you walked past her favorite spot and if you had socks on she would almost always get caught and then get angry like it's your fault when you tried to help her get them off 🤣 Needless to say we eventually started to trim her claws a bit, especially once she started to get older and didn't like to use the scratching post anymore
Huh well my response is to that well lily it was nice knowing you may you rest in peace (goes for a tractor with a back digger and starts digging a grave and then throws lily in and begins covering her corpse with dirt ) laters lily
common misconception, not sure where it came from, probably some half baked PETA bullshit. you shouldnt cut them short, and you shouldnt cut them without reason, and if you have to cut them once its going to be a recurring issue, but cats claws, minus the fact that they self sharpen are basically the same as dog claws, theres a nub of flesh that goes about half way up give or take a bit depending on the cat/dog, from which the claw gets formed around, and then theres the rest of the claw. You should indeed avoid cutting cats claws without good reason, but if a cat is getting stuck like that, that strongly, and frequently, yes cut the damn claws, otherwise theyre going to RIP the claw out at the root, and then that becomes a serious medical issue that might kill the cat from infection on the mangled hole where the claw used to be. TL/DR: nuance is hard, avoid it unless necessary, but it is necessary sometimes. Edit: also if you think its torture because of the way they react, dogs do the same thing, they react like that because fear, not pain, (unless youre cutting off way too much)
@@rjwaters3 Thank you for providing some sanity on this. I'm not sure who started it but it's baffling and doesn't really even make sense if you think about it for two seconds. It's not like trimming our fingernails to reasonable lengths involves chopping off the front part of our fingers, after all.
