IMy Cat Has To Go To The Vet To Get His Nails Clipped He Won't Let Me Do Them

I can do most of my cats, but the dogs... well, that's another matter, I let the vets do them.

I clip the nails of my animals myself. I started them as babies and while they may not like it, they sit relatively still and deal with it :). It would really add up to take my guys all to the vet's office or to a groomer to have it done for me.

have you tryed to do his nails when he is sleep?when he is relaxed he will be more cooperative.and kudos for not getting him declawed!there is no waythere is ever an excuse for that.

That's great that you aren't stressing your cat out. It's also great that you aren't having him declawed! I think declawing a cat is completely cruel. They actually cut a bone off when they do that. For a human, it would be like removing the first joint of your fingers. So that's wonderful you take the extra time and expense to take him to a groomers. You could look into those little claw covers they make, though in my experience, they never seemed to work. The cat would always get them off somehow and it's probably just one more thing to annoy kitty with. I don't trim my cat's nails, they're sharp but they don't seem to hurt anything. And just so you know, if he ever has fleas, orginal Dawn dishsoap works just as well at removing them. I've given my kitten a few baths in it to get rid of fleas and haven't had a problem since. =)
