Why cats hate nail ornaments

Some cats act as if you came to them with a chainsaw instead of a small nail short. Why do ornaments hate so much?

It is not about pain: the nail itself has no feeling if it avoids the fast. But the management It is often the problem.

Cat legs are full of sensitive nerve endings, and they usually don’t like them to touch them. Combine that with restriction, unknown sensations and human hesitation, and it is a resistance recipe.

They are fast, calm and safe: three things that most of us are not when cutting the claws of our own cats. They too:

• Use Burritos of Towels strategically.
  Wrapping the comfortable cat keeps them safe and Calm your nervous system through pressure.

• Work in teams.
  A person holds, a trim. Most of us are alone at home, so it is already disadvantaged.

• Do not hesitate.
  Many of us stop in the middle of the trim when our cat is worried, which reinforces the uproar. The technicians continue to move, enter and leave quickly before a cat intensifies.

• Clip from behind.
  They often approach from behind the cat instead of the front, which feels less threatening for the cat.

✨ A less known advice: Try to massage gently and hold your cat’s legs during hug time (without trimming). Increases tolerance gradually, and it does not hurt to sneak into a single clip when they are relaxed.

You can also break the task: a leg per day. No rule says you must do all four at the same time.

If the ornaments are too stressful, even after training, a visit to the veterinarian or a visit to the hairdresser every few weeks could be worth it.
