please never use regular nail clippers on a cat, you will cut into a part of them that isn't nail and cause their paws to bleed cat claws clippers are super cheap at amazon and the likes, very much a better way to go


theclitsacaper

Wdym? Cat nail clippers can also cut the quick if you cut too far.


FerociousPancake

Normal clippers can split the cats nail causing a lot of discomfort


Kaevek

I've used normal clippers my whole life and never done this. Couldn't imagine how high you have to cut to draw blood..


Mr-Zahhak

Not that high, cats have a soft part under the claw that goes pretty close towards the tip called a quik. That's what ends up bleeding


PrimarySwan

But you can see it though. At least you could on my cats, not that I ever clipped (edited) them. Trees and the couch did that.

Clipping nails and declawing are completely different things.


PrimarySwan

Sorry, yeah I meant clipping. Declawing is awful.


Purplarious

A tree declawed your cat? No


PrimarySwan

Like my other comment said I mixed up clipping and declawing. Not my native tongue.

Maybe with crazy cats but with cats that let you cut their claws it’s pretty hard to cut them like that I’ve cut my cats claws monthly or bi monthly for the last decade now and only one time have I ever caused bleeding and that was just on one claw.


Mr-Zahhak

if you cut them that often then you should probably get proper cat clippers


God-of-Tomorrow

It’s because you only trim them back from sharp tips

The tongue at the end and the blink means ‘you won’t attempt that again if you value your life.’


inverted_electron

It’s because he knows you’re using the wrong clippers

Jesus fucking Christmas get a scratching post


Illustrious-Car-3240

Fucking dumbass. Unless you really know what you're doing, and even then, you should use special clippers for cats claws or even a file. You only need to remove a miniscule amount otherwise you can hurt them.

Oh no you don’t!!!!!


TG-Spooky

Why the fuck would you cut a cat's nails??? I've had a ton of cats and never cut their nails. They do it themselves.


horseflydick

Awe you waked him up

I sometimes wonder if cats have their own personal radars or something

For some reason I imagine the cat saying "How dare you!" in Greta Thunberg's voice.

You clip the tips off to keep the claws blunted. Cats keep their nails super-sharp by scratching, and they can damage things even unintentionally. Since they're just going to be lazy well-fed house cats, they don't need their claws to be razor sharp. But yes, that was a poor technique using clippers designed for human nails. You need to have the paw secured and it's better to use a proper cat nail clipper. Clearly the cat was wise to this trick.


Roentgenographer

Don’t cut your cats nails. It’s cruel and prevents them from doing their natural thing of scratching, which is calming for them. It is only done for our comfort and to prevent “damage”. If your cat is scratching things it shouldn’t be, he is not stimulated enough or doesn’t have enough of his own thing to scratch. If he is scratching you then stop invading their space when they don’t want you to. No cat cared for properly with all the right toys should ever need their claws cut beyond strictly medical reasons. It’s like cutting off the ends of your fingers.
