Domestic cats usually need to cut their nails frequently, but some cats don’t like to cut their nails and are extremely difficult to deal with. This requires the owner to have patience and skills to overcome. Here are some methods and techniques for cats not to cut their nails properly.
To understand the psychological needs of cats, we must first understand the psychological needs of cats. Many cats who are unwilling to cut their nails are because they use this to maintain their status and field. Therefore, they must provide the cat with a sense of security, gentleness and gradually establish a safe environment. Some methods based on positive stimulation can be used, such as giving cats a reward or food they like to encourage and offer rewards. Through these methods, cats learn to connect their emotions to their sense of security, which can relax them.
Train your cat's nails. Next, help the cat get used to the process of trimming it. You can start training your cat from an early age to make it familiar with and feel safe with nail cutting tools (such as nail clippers), and gradually increase the difficulty of practice. For example, when cutting your cat's nails, you can first wear gloves to prevent scratching, and then slowly calm the cat down and provide rewards. When the cat is used to the process of trimming his nails, the owner can trim without wearing gloves. In addition to choosing the right time and place, it is also important to choose the right time and place. When the cat feels relaxed and safe, it is generally best to trim before bed or after meals, because cats are more likely to relax. At the same time, you should also choose a quiet place for trimming. You can find a room for the cat that will hardly sound, reducing the possibility of the cat being suddenly frightened. Nail cutting skills, finally, get to the topic, the correct nail cutting skills. First, you need to prepare the tools you need to cut your nails, such as nail clippers or nail clippers. Then, hold the cat with one hand and gently pick up the scissors or pliers with the other, shrink the cat's nails, and cut off the overly long part. Be careful not to cut it too deep, because cats have blood vessels and nerves in their nail beds. If they cut it too deep, it will cause bleeding and pain. You can massage the cat's soles while cutting your nails, which can not only promote cats' relaxation, but also stimulate blood circulation. In short, it is not a big problem for cats not to cut their nails properly. As long as the owner has patience and skills, understands the cat's psychological needs and chooses a good time and place, it can gradually adapt to the process of nail trimming, which is very beneficial to both the cat and us.
