How To Trip Your Pet Cat’s Nails

 

The cat's nails must be clipped every month to keep it blunt and short. Nail clipping will be easier if there is an assistant to hold the cat so you can clip the nails properly. The task will also be easier if someone else is holding the cat.

Some cats don’t like getting their nails trimmed. To get around this dilemma, you can restrain one paw while you work on the other. Remember not to hit the quick or the part of the nail that has the blood vessel. You will hurt the cat and have it bled when you cut the quick.

You can extend the cat’s claw by pressing the toe pad and holding the claw at the same time. use gentle and soothing words to the cat while you trim her nails. Cut the nails vertically to prevent further damage.

You can also ask the vet Folsom, CA to teach you how to trim the nails properly.

How to Teach Your Cat to Sit

Some cats love to learn tricks and can be taught tricks quite easily. For instance, the Abyssinian, American Shorthair, Bengal, Savannah, and Siamese are just a few of the top breeds that learn tricks really well. If you own one of these breeds or even a different breed, you can try and teach him the most basic trick or command such as learning to sit. Start by verbally telling your cat to sit. At the same time, apply slight pressure to the backend until she sits. You may also want to point to the back end when you say sit. Reward your cat with a treat immediately when she sits. Practice this again and again several times a day until your cat is able to sit on verbal command alone. If you need further assistance or training tips, give your veterinarian Folsom, CA a call.
