After I trim my cat's nails I give her a reward, she gets to ride with me while I get stitches at the emergency room.
This made me laugh so much 😅
🤣🤣🤣

If my cat is this calm I would not be watching this video
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.
@@echosmyth5021 my mum used to do that. It doesn't hurt them
Try doing one nail at a time. Will take you all day but that's what I had to do until he understood I wasn't trying to hurt him
😂😂😂😂
Apparently it’s sedated though...the cat in the video
Tried this. My cat ended up clipping my nails. I got a treat after so it's ok.
😂😂😂😂
LMAO

Omg!!! 😂😂😂
🤣🥰
If your cat DOESN'T struggle with nail clipping there's something wrong with your cat. Try checking if it's still alive or if its actually a dog.
Lol it would be pretty funny to see a cat who actually enjoyed it!
😂😂😂

My cats are better at nail clipping than my dogs
i catch my cat when he’s taking a nap and being lazy! he doesn’t care what we do to him haha
I've had my cat since he was 6 months old. He is a very loving and calm cat mostly. When I cut his nails he turns into the best actor in the world and could win an award just for being a cry baby. He doesn't get viscious but he cries as loud as he can to let everyone know that I'm putting him through an injustice.
😂😂😂 sure is never a dull moment!
Mine too. It's kind of adorable if it didn't make me feel so bad
bruh
Same here, even starts to cry when I just get close. Such an actor. Fake cry…funny
😂😂
All the comments here frightened me, but I just clipped my 6 months old kittens' nails for the first time and it was mindblowing how calm they were. They didn't scratch, bite, growl or struggle. They just sat there and let it happen! I'm so thankful for these babies 😭
Keep doing it regularly and they will always find it normal and not scary x
6 months and this was first time ? omg! my kitty is 2.5months old and his nails is killing me already
@Jafar Alakbar Aw I'm sorry to hear it 😅 Idk if it's relevant, but I have two ragdolls and they're known to be pretty docile. _However,_ washing them when they've got 💩 stuck in their fur is literal hell. That's the only time I look like I was assaulted 😂
I start mine as soon as I get them. Depending on the cat, pretty soon they just moosh into it like they're having a spa day. Mani/pedi for the cat. Even the ones that don't like it get to the point where they grumble but don't bother trying to resist.
Yeah, try doing it for the first time on a 5 year old rescue cat... They will be quick to let you know who's really in charge lol
Lol. When he said, “ your cat might like you...most of the time.” Lmao. Definitely my cat. Haha
Ms Carlaaa lmaooo saaaamee
😂😂😂
It also helps to start early with rubbing and holding their paws while petting, stroking, cuddling them, so they are used to it. Then it's not so hard on them when you eventually come in with the clippers.

That's what I've been doing with Ziggy since we got her a week ago. She really likes her "toe beans" massaged lol
@@SheWhoWalksWithLucifer
Aww...glad she likes it!! My old rescue stray is like a dream!!! He actually lets me cut his CLAWS...ok...one at a time but eventually he will all trimmed up and realize he's not sticking to my throw rugs anymore!! Lol
Keep up the great work. 😉
I need to trim my cat's claws since she never retracts them(she isn't injured, I just don't think she ever has retracted them). But whenever I touch my cats paws she acts so passive aggressive and intentionally moves her paw in a way to scratch me.
I did that too. Gentle touch while petting them, to normalize foot handling.
This music makes me feel like im about to be watching a video about why drugs are bad and why i should change my life around
I heard antidepressants
I know right plz I don't want to change my life again I like it kind of crzy
If I have to change my life again the cat will be cuttingy nails
🤣🤣🤣
It really does. Like an after school special. 😂
Marble is drugged out of it's skull in this video.
Poor little marble
😔
Sedated do you mean? It makes sense if you're doing a video demonstration abd are relying in the cat behaving.
Wee warble 💕
My 4 month old cat was just half asleep in front of me on my bed and I started playing with his paws and squeezing his nails out. After he had no reaction i grabbed my nail clipper and slowly clipped the tip of his claws one by one. The most he would do is pull his paw away in his sleep or stretch his whole body. I managed to get both of his front paws and his back paws weren't too sharp so I left them alone.😊😊😊 Imma give him a treat when he wakes up lol.
What do you mean by squeezing his nails out?
@@HealthcareforPets When you gently press the main pad of the cat's paw or press their individual finger-pads, their nails come out.
@@bankroll1001 Ah got it :)
Healthcare for Pets how do you not know that 😭
Rainclouds I think they thought that she meant literally pulling them out and wanted clarification
0:36 First look at that cat’s face and I’m laughing already. Poor thing doesn’t look like they’re enjoying themselves.
what I do, is when I cut a nail, I reward her
then I cut the other one and then I reward it. This make it think it's just a game and it will not hurt you.
I do this with my dogs. My cats are fine with nail clippings. Lol
Tysm ^^ I’m getting a cat soon (maybe) and I need all the advice I can get!
Ahhh great idea ! Skinners classical conditioning
@@trademarkt watch Jackson Galaxy for great advice on cats.
Genius! Thank you!
This is by far one of the best videos I've seen on ANY subject. Your explanation and own calm demeanor set me up for success. Thank you kindly, Doctor.
Thank you so much! Glad to hear it was helpful. 😊🐾
This cat looks sedated
Yes, it was the first I noticed as soon as the video started.
She's high.
Or dead.
Definitely is. I’m gonna do my kitten’s nails while she’s asleep. She’s a heavy sleeper. Her nails are dangerous-
not sedated just very frightened
@@lamer8310 If a cat's frightened, it'll get super defensive. This cat was either incredibly calm or sedated.
I started at two months old my two kittens - held them in my lap, gave plenty of treats as needed, and stopped when they started getting spooked. I never force them into it. I can usually get both sets of claws done in 1 or 2 sessions with less resistance each time 💙
Smart move. I also guessed that not turning it into a battle would be the most effective approach, and that has worked.
THAT CAT NEEDS A DRUG TEST..
Come here, Marble...piss into this cup...
🤣🤣
So basically:
Start by just getting them comfortable on your lap and lay them in a hunched position.
Figure out their boundaries with their paws being held, pulled (not to far) away from their bodies, and squeezed.
Trim the narrow tip of the nail (not the pinkish part at the bottom), and stop for the day. Over the course of 20 days, one nail a day, until they learn to sit and continue the full trim in one sitting.
Reward them for the trim each time and be consistent with rewarding them.
And it’ll get easier if you follow these guidelines. If they don’t want their nail trimmed, it’s fine. Rewarding them for the trim will imprint a positive association to the process.
marble is tired of your shenanigans

Thank you for this video, I just trimmed my cats nails for the first time and she was so easy. She is about 8 or 9 months old. I didn’t use the table, I just had her close to me on my bed and used fingernail clippers. She didn’t seem to mind having it done at all. I’m amazed how calm and easy she was.
Just an FYI, human nail clippers seem to be prone to splitting their nails lengthwise. I bought a little round bladed clipper, like the vet used in this video, for that reason.
I trimmed my 2 year old cat’s nails and my two 8 month old kitten’s nails today and they were so well behaved! Used the advice in this video and I gave them a dreamies treat after each foot.
Started with just one foot to see how they reacted and gave them half an hour before I tried another foot and was able to do all four feet. Obviously all cat’s temperaments are so different but I’m very proud of my fur babies - especially the 2 year old who hadn’t had their nails trimmed before🥰 (and pleased I was not scratched to pieces!)
The nicest cat I've ever seen in my whole life HAHAHA
He's pretty sweet 😊 🐾
Thank you. I’ve been around cats more within the last decade but have never owned one. I adopted a cat this week and she is in desperate need of a nail trim. I was able to trim one nail on her and gave her a treat. I tried to do another just to see how she would react and she squirmed away. Treats were given. I’ll leave it to the professionals while she gets used to me giving her nails a trim.
Great tips! I found that giving a treat BEFORE helps.
Great to hear :)
thank you so much for this video! i was cutting my old girl’s nails for the first time today since before she used to go outside with me and her nails would file naturally! she didn’t even flinch or complain, i’m so lucky that she trusts me so much.
Same my cat is an absolute angel
I started massaging my cats paws when they were little. This helps so much when they are older and you need to clip their nails
Exactly! Thank you for sharing 😊🐾
Love this video! You explained it so clearly which I did not find in other tutorials. And I was once scared to do it, but now I am willing to try. We have 2 big cats and their claws have never been clipped before. But with your tutorial, it would be a piece of cake! Thank you!
Our pleasure! This is why we do what we do. Thank you for your kind words, we appreciate it:) Happy brushing! - The HCFP Team
cool, check this out for professional cat nail clippers/trimmer set: lihi.cc/ObJqu
this view is so totally WRONG!!! I've not seen a video on here yet that lists all the protective clothing that you- the cat owner--needs to put on before starting!
😂
My senior rescue cat would not let me trim her front claws, so I made an appointment at the vet's clinic. Even the vet was unable to clip my kitty's front nails (for the first time). My kitty has been renamed "Tasmanian Devil." My next attempt with involve bites of canned sardines as a treat, one nail per day. I'll get the bandages out first so they are ready.
Yes I have done it just like that!
I managed to do only 1 nail yesterday and left it at that, didn't want to push her or traumatize her for fear she might really get aggressive every time I need to clip her nails.
And today I managed to do another nail.
I even sang to her, pet her constantly and tried to calm her and reassure her.
It worked some of the way. 😌😅
Still a long way to go!
It actually worked! We have a 6 week old rescue kitten and she had some sharp little claws!! We did it a little differently though. One of us held her on her back and gently pet her while the other carefully clipped the ends off of her claws. It’s a million times better now when she makes biscuits or tries to use her claws.
Great info! I wish my mother saw this before she decided to trim her cat's nails! (lets just say the fur was flying!)
I will be sure to pass this info on to her for future nail cutting.
Thanks.
We’re glad it was helpful:) Hopefully next time there is a little less mess! - HCFP Team
I recommend doing this while she is asleep as she wouldn’t resist as much. It works with me every time , she just doesn’t care when I do it while she is asleep.
Great tip, thanks for sharing! 😊🐾
There was a stray cat where I lived that used to greet me when I used to come home in the morning. She would waddle so fast when she saw me and would meow. I would pet her till she couldn't take it. I couldn't take the cat in because my family didn't tolerate cats so I would feed it outside. It was a calico cat just like this one and I named it Marble because of its coloring. This cat is also named marble and now I'm so happy and sad inside. Marble, wherever you are, I miss you and love you!
Thank you so much for this short and straightforward video! I put my kitty down on a blanket and put catnip where I held him down to keep him occupied while I trimmed him! it used to be a two-person and many treats job but this was so fast and easy!!
My cat had an injured nail, this helped very much and she is feeling better now
Fantastic! Glad to hear your kitty is feeling better 😊🐾
I just trimmed my kittens nail for the first time today, he was very calm! I did one nail then let him eat, finished a paw and let him sit for a few minutes. I did have to have my grandpa hold him while i did his back paws, thats the only trouble i had
Good on your for doing that! Hopefully the more you do it the easier it gets 😊🐾
0:34 Damn that cat lookin' mad 😳
Thank you for this helpful video! Just trimmed my 1 and 2 year old Maine coons nails and even though they were getting annoyed they stayed pretty calm.
I did spray a towel with catnip before starting, let them roll on it and then rolled the towel around them like a burrito and clipped the front paws. The back paws were too much for today they weren’t feeling that but I’m relieved to know that trimming nails isn’t as hard as imagined! I kept putting it off for the past year… glad I finally did it!
2:29 Am I hallucinating?
I saw this too!!!
We have a new kitten I want to do this with, but haven't yet. You can get your cat to turn into a pile of goosh with slow petting and softly speaking to him. I would think doing the nails when the cat is really relaxed or asleep would be the way to go. Our little guy is a real maniac in the morning and laid back in the afternoon so for us timing is going to be important.
Hi Amy, it's important to tailor this advice to what you think would work best for your pet. It is fantastic that you're getting on this early because the younger they are the more receptive they will hopefully be as an adult. If they're not used to having their nails trimmed, try getting them used to you handling their paws and working up to trimming one nail at a time then stopping for some time or at a pace that works best for your cat (remember to reward with lots of healthy treats after). Hopefully they will become more comfortable with you trimming their nails over time. That's a great idea of waiting until your cat is relaxed or tired, whatever makes nail trimming easier for the both of you. Wishing you two all the best. 😊🐾
2:27 is when the trimming starts ( for those who want to know real quick) ❤️
I finally trimmed my cats nails for the first time and she didnt fight back. Yay!! & my cat is one who dont like to be cleaned or pampered lol. Thank you!
So much good wisdom on the instructional steps. I’ve learned by trial and error, some of this stuff.
Thank you for this calming instructional video. I have their nails trimmed at their grooming, but that is not enough for my babies. Most helpful is don't expect to complete, one a day. Carol
I've always taken my cat in to the vet's to get them done. Now that we're all in quarantine, I have to learn this quick
sexysekel learn quick but just don’t cut the quick
You've got this! Hope you are staying safe 😊🐾
Thank you so much! You have a really compassionate personality.
Dr. Greenway - thanks so much for the good advice - to take it slow, calmly, pet the cat, reward the cat, stop if the cat (or you) are agitated or angry. Our first try was amazing. We kept "Simba" quiet, offered a treat before we started, cliped the hind feet first, then the front. Right afterf, more treats!
Hi Joseph, so glad to hear it was helpful! Good on you for giving it a go and the more you and Simba keep at it, the easier it gets. That's exactly it and yes, treats help :) Wishing you guys all the best.
Really felt it when he said have a strong heart
Update, Gimli was exceptionally well behaved for his nail clipping, we did four in one sitting and another four just a few hours later. He did not fight me at all, what a wonderful boy
That is wonderful news! Good on your for trying it. 😊🐾
What is the door doing at 2:31 ?
Whoa! It looks like the molding separated from the door? Cue the theme from The Twilight Zone!

THE SKY IS FALLING
Oh my god, why did you point this out? Now I need to know
I can't unsee it
I SOOOO NEEDED TO SEE THIS ‼️‼️
Thank you for posting.... GOD BLESS YOU!!
Glad it was helpful 😊🐾
This was very useful information, my cat already liked having her paws held and allowed me to clip them with this technique
Thank you! Glad it was helpful. 😊🐾
Thanks! I find it helpful to do this when they are in a drowsy, calm state (not fully asleep) and snuggling near me. Definitely helps to first get them used to having their paws gently rubbed in this relaxed state so it doesn't feel like a totally new thing to have their paws handled.
At last somebody who trims the correct and minimal amount of the cat's claw, instead of taking all possibility of climbing and protecting itself by trimming down to just above the pink.
It's so important that these are done correctly. Thanks for the comment! We appreciate it:) - HCFP Team
What do indoor cats have to protect themselves from ?
Bill Zardus but what happens if they happen to get out one day? Obviously it would’ve an accident but it can still happen!
@@EricaNicoleAcoustic If an indoor cat gets outdoors for an extended period, having
his nails trimmed would be the least of its' problems. Most cat predators would not
be deterred by your cat having an extra 1/8 of an inch of claws.
@The God Emperor Himself I'm pretty sure it is illegal for vets to declaw housecats these days
in most states but I could be wrong.
Very helpful video! Thanks🫶🏻
Thank you for this tutorial.
My bby (who is not alive anymore 😭) he was sooo easy to do everything with :( He was just giving up “fine do whatever so you can leave me alone”. I have never met a cat like that before. My Vet loved my cat for being so easy and nice. He didn’t even made a noise. When he was checked by the Vet he was just looking in my eyes like “ok mum, you are here so I guess I’m fine” then curled up in my arms when the Vet was done. He was soooo nice to deal with. (I think people have done some really bad things to him before we find him so he was really scared of people. Did take a long time before he trusted me and understand all I wanted was to help him. And feed him 😜)
Anyhow.. my two other cata.. wow. I can’t fix their nails. They are sooooo angry when I touch their paws(?) and my Vet are scared for one of them.. :(
I will try that you said about “one nail one day”. I just wonder one thing.. if I laying in my bed and my cat is laying beside me and letting me holding him. (He love when I do!)
Is this a bad time to trying to trim one nail? Maybe a stupid question but.. yeah.. is it a bad time? 😂🙈

So great! My cat loves getting nails trimmed now! Great video!
Great to hear :)
I have a 7 year old caucasian that i picked up as a rescue from St. Luizas Orphanage. Hes feisty and bites. Especially when i try to trim his nails. This video has been very helpful even if hes not a cat. I will put young Kaison in an armbar and then a legbar. I will not give up until his nails are trimmed. I wont stop to give him a hot pocket after one like you did only because ive "let him think he can win" already
I so needed this. Ty ❤
Thank you so much for the video! I just got a kitten and was able to take this knowledge and quite easily trim my kittens nails! Again thank you for the information!
Amazing Julia! Love hearing this. Keep it up! 😊🐾
Thank you, such a good tutorial!
Thanks for the tips! Never thought to start with one nail per day.
You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful 😊🐾
Sheesh I'm so glad I found this video! I love my cat, but she's getting old now and I need to help her out. I'm gonna try one nail a day!! Thank you.
That's exactly right, keeping some healthy treats around might help too. You got this! 😊🐾
@@HealthcareforPets
Can you name a good healthy treat?
That cat was NOT having it, the face is priceless 😂
well Explained and very good channel for pet care.. love the explanation. ❤❤
Thank you for this video, my cat hates the vet to the point where they force me to drug her prior and she is still aggressive towards them. I drew the line when I saw that they accidentally cut the pink part of her nail and I only noticed because there was some blood on her when they put her back. They didn't even let me know and I felt awful for her, so after I tried clipping her nails everything was perfectly fine and she hardly fought me. Thank you so much for this!
You are so sweet. Thank you for this.
Well explained. I'm scared to trim my big Tom cat's nails. He doesn't like it. But we both love each other. I like your suggestion of only trimming one nail a day. I had to thought of that too.
The look on the 🐈 cats face is like Get me out of here It needs Ruby slippers!!! 😄😄
oh boy, I'm going to attempt to trim the nails of my two 18-years olds for the first time! Now that they're super seniors, their nails are getting easily caught on things, it appears the claws are not retracted as they were in their youth. Oh my babies ❤❤
Cute little Marble ❤️
Thank you very muxh! I'm more of a dog lover but I had rescued these two kittens. I not only have brand living room furniture but rewarding them with a treat and one nail at time. Thanks again Michelle J. Gonser
Amazing Michelle! That's exactly it, take it slow, one nail at a time with a reward (healthy is best) and hopefully the more they should become used to it. Keep it up! 😊🐾
thank you, this is very informative. also cute cat
Thank you Dr. great video
Thank you! Hopefully you found it helpful 😊🐾
Good video Doc!
Thank you! 😊🐾
patience is the key. It's hard to start with only cutting one nail, but that's the way to do it. It's the way to do everything new with a cat... if it is at all possible. Even if you have to unavoidably push your cat and keep going for whatever emergency reason, still go slow, be calm, and be patient. Vets deal with strange cats all the time and this is how they do it. If you start cutting nails as a kitten, when they grow up many adult cats will happily lay on their backs (like a baby) in the groove of your two thighs and allow you to trim their nails with no fuss at all.
If you have a "terror" of a cat... maybe even a nail is too much to start with. Fearful cats may need even slower exposure therapy: you might have to start up by picking them a small way off the ground for one second, then putting them down and treating them.
Movements should be slow and patient. As should our voice - this vet does an excellent job with his voice as well. What a great teaching example. It can be hard to slow down like this especially when our lives are busy and there are so many demands on our time... but it will pay off.
If you have a long period of acclimatization ahead of you... set up a "desensitization station" near where you and your cat sit near each other - then, when you are both in the vicinity, you can simply reach over for a treat and perform the action you need them to tolerate. That way, a daily (or twice-daily) interaction need only take 10 seconds... instead of requiring you to find the cat, collect the materials, etc.
You're a wise man, thank you.
What's going on with the door behind the doctor? The top left corner moves at 02:30. What was that?
Proof that life is a simulation
Thank you doctor
Ok I started laughing hard when the camera panned to the cats face at 0:35. The vet was so calm and collected and then it cuts to this grumpy furball.
Very very helpful thank you! 😺
Glad it was helpful! 😊🐾
I am using your advice on brushing cat's teeth. I gave my kittens a little break and started over. This time I am giving more treats, pet them and reward them at each step. They are less frustrated for sure. Thank you. Nail clipping is the next step.
Glad to hear it was helpful. You've got this! 😊🐾
Very helpful video. One of the best I have viewed. Although I struggled somewhat with the distracting background music. Mute, plus closed captions to the rescue.
lol thank you! :)
I just adopted a cat a few weeks ago and I am slowly attempting this method. I was able to clip 2 nails tonight with minimal irritation, don’t worry, she got lots of rewards :) this video is very helpful and I feel a lot more confident and less discouraged to clip my cats nails :)
I am currently in this boat....just got my kitty a couple months ago and she needs her nails trimmed. I was so scared, but this seems like a great method to try to start.
Great video, but what I'd like to know is why it looks like part of the wall by the door is just floating off at about the 2:30 mark?
What a great idea! Definitely gonna try this! If anyone plans do this though I just googled how short should you cut the cats nails and there is like this thing called a quick and if you cut that, the nail will bleed pretty badly.. so you apparently have to cut at a downward angle and avoid the quick! Just thought I’d share the info!
One nail at a time is how I introduced mine to nail clipping. Also do it when they are mellow and somewhat sleepy.
I took a friend’s cat to get her nails clipped at a vet yesterday. I heard her growl for the first time and it was sooooooo cute 😅
why did I watch and enjoy this?! I don't have a cat 😭

Thank you for this video, my 5yo human child has been in full time cat-sona for weeks and finally let me trim her nails 😂

@@HealthcareforPets thank you... i hope so!
I just trimmed a couple nails on my 3 month old kitten today for the first time. Rewarded with snacks and some petting, she wasn't not too keen on the petting but loved the snacks. It was a struggle and I got some whining and a light bite on my hand, nothing that drew blood though. I don't dare trying more today but tomorrow she's getting at least a couple more trimmed.
I’m really glad I got a kitten raised in a home and not a feral cat from a shelter. I can’t imagine doing that with a badass street cat.
Thank you for sharing- my cat has torn my screened porch screens in several places. It’s driving me crazy because I have a screened in porch so I don’t have to fight the mosquito’s.
I was seriously considering having him declawed. He’s a year old and he is truly my joy. He is an awesome with such a great personality- I started to look at alternative ways to accomplish what I needed to accomplish. I came across your video and I’m glad I did.
There’s just no way I could put him through the pain of an unnecessary de-claw. And what if it had a negative affect on him and it changed his personality!!
Nope - Charlie gets to keep his cat paws and claws.
Glad to hear Judy! With a little practice (starting one nail at a time) and with lots of healthy treats he should become more comfortable with the process. Wishing you both the very best. 😊🐾
Declawing is actually illegal
WHAT A GOOD KITTY!!!
