Protecting furniture and human body: Cats with excessively long nails may accidentally scratch furniture, carpets, or human bodies while playing or jumping, causing unnecessary damage.
Avoid bending or breaking nails: Long nails are prone to bending or breaking, causing pain and even infection in cats.
Maintain hygiene: Cats' nails are prone to accumulating dirt and grime. Regular trimming can help keep them clean and reduce bacterial growth.
Enhance walking comfort: Long nails may affect a cat's walking posture and comfort, especially when walking on smooth surfaces.
When trimming cat nails, the following points should be noted:
Choose the appropriate tool: Use a nail clipper designed specifically for cats and avoid using a human nail clipper, as the shape and hardness of cats' nails are different from those of humans.
Observe the cat's emotions: Trim the cat when it is relaxed and calm, and avoid doing it when the cat is nervous or scared to avoid getting scratched.
Avoid cutting blood lines: Cats have blood lines inside their nails, so it is important to avoid cutting them during trimming as it can cause pain and bleeding. If you are unsure of the location of the blood line, you can ask a professional pet beautician or veterinarian to help trim it.
Reward: After trimming the nails, you can give the cat some small snacks or touches as a reward to make the cat have positive associations with trimming the nails.
In short, regularly trimming the nails of cats is an important care task that helps protect their health and maintain a clean home environment.
