Do cats feel pain when cutting their nails?

First, you need to prepare a nail clipper specifically for cats. At this point, you should hold the cat in your arms, with its back facing you, to ensure that you won't get scratched during the process. Grasp the nail clipper in one hand and gently hold one of the cat's front paws with the other hand. During the trimming process, remember to hold the cat's paws firmly, act quickly and kindly. Note: Be sure to avoid the bloodline when cutting the nails, otherwise you might hurt the cat and cause unstoppable bleeding.

What if cats don't have their nails trimmed?

Cat nails grow quite fast, especially the nails of the two front limbs, which can be trimmed once every 2-3 weeks. If the nails are not trimmed for a long time, the cat will find something to scratch and its nails will become long and sharp, easily scratching the owner and damaging furniture. Extremely sharp nails can also easily tear wires and fabrics and cause the cat to bleed. When trimming nails, be sure not to cut too close to the bloodline, otherwise it will cause the cat to bleed, feel pain, and increase the cat's fear of nail trimming.

Can a cat get infected if its nails bleed after cutting?

If proper care is not taken after cutting the nails and they bleed, it may lead to bacterial infection, ulceration, inflammation, and pus. If the cat's nails bleed after trimming, gently disinfect the wound, apply pressure to stop the bleeding, which usually takes a few minutes. If the situation is severe, with continuous and heavy bleeding, it is best to take the cat to a pet hospital for professional treatment.

How to trim a cat's nails

Preparation: Prepare a nail clipper specifically for cats. It's best to trim the cat's nails when it's sleepy and relaxed. Massage its paws and stroke them to make it feel at ease. Procedure: The owner sits in a chair, comforts the cat, and holds it on their lap to calm it down. Remember to hold the cat firmly in your arms with its back facing you to ensure that you won't get scratched during the process. Grasp the nail clipper in one hand and gently hold one of the cat's front paws with the other hand. Cat nails are hidden inside the paws, so you need to gently press the top of the cat's paw to expose the nails. Start trimming the nails when you're sure the cat won't move around. Be careful during the trimming process and avoid cutting the pink tender meat near the nails. Remember to hold the cat's paws firmly, act quickly and gently. If you're unsure, trim less to avoid hurting the cat. Cats usually need to have their nails trimmed every 2-3 weeks, but the frequency should be adjusted based on the cat's growth.
