  • @cky12qxz Declawing and cutting cats nails are different. Declawing is against any vets or CFA...etc. as you permanently remove the nails. Cutting nails are standard practice and all reputable breeders recommend cutting nails every 2 weeks for young ones and every 3-4 weeks for older cats. You are supposed to keep cats indoors and any reputable breeders would have contract stating that (to avoid accidental death, diseases.) You should talk to a good vet to clear things up.

  • thats a big cat i think it might be a tuxedo main coon and i never cute my cats nails its bad enough the previous previous owner who had my cat de-clawed him

  • @CatsandMusic98 There's nothing cruel about it, it's no worse for the cat than it is for you to trim your finger nails. My cats are entirely indoors, so they don't chase after birds, but I do provide them with scratch towers, which is also a good way to keep their claws trimmed. If you don't trim them then they can grow into the paw pads - then it becomes cruelty

  • thats a well behave cat!! yesterday i tried to cut my cats nails, and he almost cut mines!!

  • @ cky12qxz Yarn is very dangerous for a cat to play with. If they swallow too much of it, it can twist their intestines and cause serious harm. Ask your vet about it and they can explain it better.

  • I'm NEVER going to de-nail or even clip my cats nails. She loves to play with yarn and stuff :3

  • mine too ^^

  • Am I suppose to clip their back nails too?

  • My cats like an angel. he would let me if i tried.But i won't ever try unless it absolutely necesary, thats just cruel because then he can't play around in the garden hunting birds and chase dragonflies proplerly.
