I have an older cat, I adopted who was never groomed. 🙀im a “crazy cat lady, too.”and have never been able to trim her nails! your table method is gold! I'm going to try.
Initially came here for the trimming part, but I forgot about that shit and got sucked into Liz’s personality 😂 Dude, you could have your own show, and I would watch it. Thanks for the lols!
You make it look so easy! My cat won't even sit in my lap without protest. She's a prima donna. Great video, though, I will need to work on my cat's temperament for this.
You dont “work” on your cats temperament. Your cat is like it is. Better to search for a way that is comfy for your cat. Dont put the cat in your lap when it doesnt want to.
My wife and I really were surprised how informative as well as so funny. You really made me laugh out loud with the "drink" comment. Also I thought the suggestion to start touching their paws so they get desensitized. I guess my cat could join me in beer as an alternate means of desensitizing. Great Job. We bet you are a lot of fun and you probably have lots of friends. Mickey and Sophia
We did it!! Thank you! Our 20-year old cat could barely walk - he’s never had to have claws trimmed b/c he spent time outside, but as he’s aged, he doesn’t want to go out anymore. His claws were out of control. We were shocked, but he actually let us just pet him and trim the nails (it did take two people for the living and the trimming). And the beer def helped! Thanks so much!! 🎉🥳
literally here drinking a glass of wine looking up how to trim my new 7 year old cats nails for the first time.. You earned a subscription for sure. You have a great nerdy beauty thing going on too. thumbs up!
Thank you!! I used your tip for the difficult cat with the treats and this was the first time I’ve ever been able to cut my cats nails! She will hardly even let me pet her so this was a big help!
Caroline Cain, you talked me into trying nail cutting with treats. (Tried it without treats, and kitty won't come near me when she hears me lay the nail clippers down, and I tried to be real quiet too. Kitty's hearing is excellent.).
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This helped me trim my cat's nails for the first time ever. I have a crazy, psycho cat, and even the groomer refuses to work on him. Miracles do happen!
My cat is still in the kitten ages she’s 8 months old and she doesn’t like nail trimming AT ALL but I tried the technique you used for Smirnoff and was able to trim all toes except one in one sitting this time! Normally I can only get 1 or 2 at a time! Thank you for your video I am now more excited and optimistic about the nail trimming process!!
“Find a friend who has a cat you can practice on.”: the feline version of babysitting providing a glimpse into parenthood. Best cat nail trim video of the (eek!) many I watched tonight, and ditto the previous comment: came for title, stayed and liked for personality and clear, concise info. Thank you!👍🏼👍🏼
Well I tried. Results- cat treats consumed= a butt load. Nails clipped= zero. Cute video though! Am 10 years sober so I had to skip the alcohol. May have to go back to drinking. LOL
Lmfao I'm over 5 years clean and sober so i just cracked a red bull still can't do it. Only time I can ever sneak some clips in if when my baby is on her cat tree and her paws are dangling lmao but even then it's hard cos I have to trick her haha
i tried this and my cat just bites my hands when i grab his paws and then when i tried to get him sit on my lap he just sticks his claws onto my legs and jumps away
This is exactly what I needed. I'm only 1 1/2 tall cans in, trying to figure out the best way to tackle this monumental task for the first time. Finally a video that knows where I'm coming from 😆 Cheers!
This video (and you) are HILARIOUS!!!!! I have never seen the treats on the table trick - brilliant! Gonna try it! I have a psycho crazy cat - maybe it will work!
Great video! My cat is awful getting her nails trimmed and a trip to the vet today thinking they could handle it just made it 10x worse so now I'm determined to gain her trust back and do it myself. Under the table! Genius! At the moment I'm just giving treats and touching her paws calmly, squeezing out the claws. Hopefully a few days of that I can do my first trim myself :) just need to get some wine beforehand.....
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Liz!! I cut my rescue’s nails for the first time following your guide and I got 3 out of 4 feet done but the 4th was a back and like you said they weren’t as bad. It only took an open can of tuna. He only got pieces but the open can was in front of him as an incentive and it worked like a charm! 🥳👏🏻
Ha, my blackcat Sabrina runs as soon as she sees the clippers. I used to clip a few at a time while she was napping. But she's been on high-alert for months now. Any ideas? She's very skittish.
First inside cat (all my other cats were in childhood in a tiny countryside town) so I have been searching a billion videos for nail trims. My 10 day adoptee 13month old is a sweet goofball but squirmy when I trimmed dewclaws. So these were some great tips and hilarious to watch. 😂
I’ve contemplated getting back with my ex husband over this because we had a great system, cutting our cats nails.... They would’ve had well pedicured nails, but that would’ve lasted with me potentially on trial for his murder 😂
@@amandaramalho6609 Hahahaha yes! Btw I caved and hired one of my vet techs and she comes to my house every 5 weeks. Have you tried liquid gabapentin? We give them a lil to help sedate them. Ask your vet for some!
Great tutorial! I just trimmed my 4 year old cats nails for the first time successfully. We had a frank conversation about it’s me or the vet. Pick your poison. The desensitization thing can help at any age! When she’s feeling snuggly I touch her paws and after all this time she still hates it but knows I’m not a threat 🙂🤓
I came for the title and stayed for the personality too, lol. Great tips. As a crazy cat lady, I'll have to figure out how to trim my three cats too. Thanks!
"Step 1: Drink. This will help boost your self-esteem, and minimize the pain". That is when I realized I could actually trust the upcoming advice. Acknowledgement of the pain trimming cat nails and the subsequent decrease in self-esteem that follows from getting beat up by a cat
My cat kept running away so I had to wrap him in a towel and when I did that he settled down, he allowed me to cut the first 7 nails on his front paws but when down to the last 3 he started to cry but not freaking out or squirming so I still managed to finish. He's a fluffy cat so his nails are hidden under it all, making it a little harder to locate them. After the first 10 nails I gave him a break with treats, toys, and lots of kisses and hugs. When I wanted to continue onto his back legs he only allowed 2 and then started freaking out again and running away. I gave up after that. Thankfully this video reassures me that I'm taking all the right steps and to simply continue the process and he'll (hopefully) grow more comfortable overtime. He's only 11 weeks old, been touching his paws a lot since the day I got him so thankfully that helped with this process a little. Crossing my fingers that with age he's let me clip all 20. Kinda getting tired of him scratching the unholy hell out of my legs whenever he wants to jump up onto my lap haha.
You are such a treat. I love watching you with your cats. I am learning how to do my cat's nails, and I'm having a rough go of it. I saw one video where they suggested the burrito method, and I decided my cat wouldn't appreciate it, so I aint doing that. I will try to be more patient, and will definitely try your method. Thanks so much. Jojo from Mississauga Ontario Canada.
This was phenomenal!!! 😹 I'm getting ready to trim both my and my kids' cats' nails, a feat which I've never attempted. Since my big boy (Indiana) has accidentally scratched his face up a bit with his hind paws, it felt about time. Although my mom gave me a quick tutorial, I wanted to double check that I'd be doing it correctly. Thanks for the tips, humor, and knowledge. I feel better already about chasing down some kitty toes!
Oh my gosh! This is me bringing the cat to the vet horrible experience bringing the cat to the groomer. Shut in for covid-19 need to learn how to do this myself. I'm the one with the crazy cat I didn'get as kitten! Thanks Liz very entertaining!
My cat becomes so aggressive when nail trimming. She doesn't care about treats. She just goes ballistic. We can't even wrap her in a towel. Smh. But great video lol 😆
You are FUN! Best cat nail clipping tutorial I’ve seen yet. I’ll be running out to the store for a six pack of Bud Light today and then let the cat nail clipping party begin.😹
Thanks for the video. I just became a cat daddy today to two rescue sisters and also picked up some good stout. I don't see trimming their nails anytime soon tho, need some snuggle time before that happens I think.
The table trick looks terrific. I've done some trial runs but she keeps using the paw to grab the treats! I don't think I've found the right height yet.
i thought your cats were demons and that you were gonna show how to trim demon cat nails but they're quiet and calm my cat kills me if i put him on my lap, and food doesnt stop him at all
I am looking for a close-up video of trimming the hind claws. Hanging off a flat surface might work but he has no interest in any type of treats I have ever tried even when he's not doing anything but just hanging out. And he's a biter.
I don't know if this is cruel or not, but I use a clothes pin on the back tuft of my cat's neck (like when a mother cat carries its kittens) and this "sedates" her enough for me to cut all her nails in one sitting.
"With as little restraint as possible" my cat: touch my paws, I'm fine. I don't care about the scissors. *tries to cut nails* my cat: I see you've chosen nuclear war
This made me feel better about being a crazy cat guy who has no (human) friends. I wish there was a better way to deal with these nails or they'd just stop growing though! (We're gonna need a lot of treats...)
Great tips for many cats, I'm sure. With our "Pepper" cat (part Savannah, part Maine Coon and more), as I *gently* press to extend her claw, the INSTANT the nail trimmer comes in contact with the claw, she goes BALLISTIC! She looks similar to your cat in the video, very sweet most of the time. MUCH more aggressive when it's claw trimming time. Will try the treats/ under the table trick next. Pepper does love to play when I tease her, without using the scalpels (aka claws). Desensitize? Not a chance. I've done that since she was a kitten. Still no joy. Just much caution. As "onlyoatmeal" mentioned: "Came for the title, stayed for the personality and tips!" Same here! Really enjoyed your video! My wife has a t-shirt which aptly reads: "I love my cats, and maybe three other people." I'm fortunate I'm one of the three others (I think).
Maybe it’d be appropriate with a vet visit? I don’t doubt some cats are just not gonna tolerate it because of their personality, but in your case I’d probably see a vet to make sure the issue isn’t that she’s hurting in some way and that being the reason she freaks out whenever you touch her claws.
My cat has an ingrown nail I'd like to trim, but he doesn't even let me touch his paws. He either runs away or bites me (hard). How can I get him to let me trim his nails? :(
I am a new kitten owner. Our house has carpeting everywhere so I doubt the back nails will be worn down "naturally". A friend says you only need to trim the front paws every 2 weeks to deter them from climbing and tearing up furniture . He says he only trims the back paws every month or 2. Our kitten is hard to hold still, so I am anxious to do this as quickly and with as little effort as possible. He also said to give them treats when it is done but I will cut them in half to try and reduce the calories.
Have my cat on my lap facing away from me? If you know my cat - you know that that already is beyond what is possible. It took a lot of treats just to get my cat to ever venture onto my lap AT ALL -- and once she learned to do that, she still NEVER actually lies _down_ - but is standing the entire time. Is there way to trim the nails of a cat who is NOT docile?
Our new cat was a stray and he keeps his nails razor sharp, hes also not very careful with them, hopefully if we trim them they'll stay blunted for a little bit, or we can put tips on them. He doesnt really tolerate being picked up or touching his feet
You might be my favorite person alive. Besides my husband and kids. We just got three cats - never have had cats - and are working up to their little nails. It’s gonna be a party. Seems like alcohol is crucial. Also my kiddo wants me to tell you our cats names. Big boy Barry. (He looks just like the small cat so we had to differentiate and it stuck) bootsie. And tiny. (See above reason for number 1) thanks for the video.

Give him beer too.
Well, unless he's a violent drunk.

You dont “work” on your cats temperament. Your cat is like it is. Better to search for a way that is comfy for your cat. Dont put the cat in your lap when it doesnt want to.
sit on lap? What is that? Took us 1 yr 1 month and 11 days just to get her to sleep on my boobs! I will keep trying
DANG girl!! You are AMAZING!! Your feed was AI timely! Thank you 💖
Love your no-restraint approach with practical tips for not dying in the process. Thanks!!

I don't think this cat qualifies as an unfriendly cat for nail trimming.
Me to my cat is unfriendly he hisses and scratches the vet even gave up
Right!!! She should use my cat. Would be very entertaining
If she tried with my cat, she would be bleeding profusely. Useless video.
This thread is cracking me up 😂
I don't believe you have no friends, you are brilliant! Hilarious yet matter of fact approach certainly won me over. Love to you and your cats!
The most realistic cat nail trimming I’ve seen yet! Thanks Liz!!!

I use stealth mode...trim while kitty sleeps
Me and my mom used to do that but hes gotten older now and smarter
I get 2 or 3 nails trimmed before cat wakes up and the fight begins.😖
Yah that doesn’t work either. 2 clips and shes up.
orviskid I can’t even get one clip when she’s in deep sleep :(
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This helped me trim my cat's nails for the first time ever. I have a crazy, psycho cat, and even the groomer refuses to work on him. Miracles do happen!

Excellent. May not trim my monsters nails but can come back to watch this comedy documentary special.
Incredibly helpful video!!! Thank you! 🙏
We need tips for cats who don't care about treats 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the video. I just became a cat daddy today to two rescue sisters and also picked up some good stout. I don't see trimming their nails anytime soon tho, need some snuggle time before that happens I think.
This was very helpful, thank you. I've been nervous about starting this training.
Things you need: 🐈 Step 1: Drink 🍺 I LOST it 😂😂😂
This was wayy better than any of the 'pros' videos, my 8 month old kitty is being a tad uncooperative so thanks for all the tips and such! :) xo
The table trick looks terrific. I've done some trial runs but she keeps using the paw to grab the treats! I don't think I've found the right height yet.
i thought your cats were demons and that you were gonna show how to trim demon cat nails but they're quiet and calm
my cat kills me if i put him on my lap, and food doesnt stop him at all
Thank you for the table top method . I will try that. My cat currently hates having his nails trimmed and bites and scratches me.
I was entertained and (oh no) educated. This gives me a bit more confidence to solo cat clipping, but I still might offer them some bourbon. 😉
This is the best video I found for cat trimming. thank you. My goal is to get one nail today. I'm so terrified.
People who show how to cut cat claws ALWAYS demonstrate on a CALM CAT! LOL!!!
Cutest crazy cat lady with good info.
I am looking for a close-up video of trimming the hind claws. Hanging off a flat surface might work but he has no interest in any type of treats I have ever tried even when he's not doing anything but just hanging out. And he's a biter.
All the UA-cam cat people have this exact personality
Yeah great advise...i had problems with quickly trim them.
I need more treats
You have a beautiful smile!
Thanks for the laffs and ideas. Treats and getting them used to gentle paw & claw touches, when they are half asleep, helps.
Thank you.
I guess I have a Kooky Cat.
I'll keep trying.
You did a wonderful job here.
Butt load of treats😬LOL
I love your personality.
I don't know if this is cruel or not, but I use a clothes pin on the back tuft of my cat's neck (like when a mother cat carries its kittens) and this "sedates" her enough for me to cut all her nails in one sitting.
The cat is sending and S.O.S. alert, my cat heard the cat in the video looked at me and took off!!😂😂 She onto me!!
Great video... thank you... my cat, a (Hemingway), does not like to have her paws messed with at all...
Excellent table trick!

It took a lot of treats just to get my cat to ever venture onto my lap AT ALL -- and once she learned to do that, she still NEVER actually lies _down_ - but is standing the entire time.
Is there way to trim the nails of a cat who is NOT docile?
Great Video, love your humor
Our new cat was a stray and he keeps his nails razor sharp, hes also not very careful with them, hopefully if we trim them they'll stay blunted for a little bit, or we can put tips on them. He doesnt really tolerate being picked up or touching his feet
I just love your upload!!! so awesome, had a smile through most of it! some really great tips too, Thank you!!
Wow! It's just so easy!!! Thanks!😍😍😍
My cat likes: no human contact
You might be my favorite person alive. Besides my husband and kids. We just got three cats - never have had cats - and are working up to their little nails. It’s gonna be a party. Seems like alcohol is crucial. Also my kiddo wants me to tell you our cats names. Big boy Barry. (He looks just like the small cat so we had to differentiate and it stuck) bootsie. And tiny. (See above reason for number 1) thanks for the video.
