Poor Mia

[miasmum]

She spent all day yesterday in the vets having her bloods and urine testing done. I went to pick her up and Katie the nurse said 'all we haven't done is clip her claws, so if you hold her I'll do them" I said it was fine, Tim does her claws but Katie said "she is here now we might as well do it"

So I held a squawking, wriggling, panicking Mia, whilst Katie clipped.

I was telling Tim when he got home and I said "I think what she was trying to say is my daddy cuts my nails thank you very much"

Tim said "no what she was trying to say was, my daddy cuts my nails thank you very much and HE ONLY DID THEM LAST NIGHT"

poor cat no wonder she was complaining

[Gal]

Gosh I've never clipped any of my cats claws Is it something you do regularly MM?

[JoM]

Oh no!!! No wonder she was complaining!! Poor Mia!

Poor Mia - a bit surprised though that the vet nurse didn't notice they'd already been clipped

Gal, I clip the claws of three of mine; they are confined to house and cat proofed garden so don't really have anywhere to 'scuff' their claws as such and their claws do grow too long after a while and they keep catching on things like carpet, bedding etc. All I do when that happens is try and clip just the tips, but they hate it so it's always a bit of a mission.

The three that have total outdoor access I never trim and have never really needed to

[Gal]

Ah the fact that they're indoor cats might explain it, none of mine ever were

Mine were indoor cats, so they had to be clipped for the same reason as Ria's
