- You can see a link to my preferred cat nail trim technique with just one person below, but many of you have asked how to trim nails on more difficult cats, so here is a video for you demonstrating a two person technique that will work on squirmy, difficult, angry and contrary cats as well as sweet ones like Clawdia.

Clawdia's like: "I have no idea what's going on but I trust you."
Such a sweet lil kitty.

Obligatory cat squishing comment
Also, very helpful. Though my cat puts up at bit more of a fuss than such a well mannered Clawdia
Career goals: cat squisher
That close up of Clawdia's little face at the end 💕
I don't even have a cat, I have never had a cat - growing up or living on my own, but my God do I enjoy these videos
Its cat asmr
Cats are funny you should get one
Oh my god SAME
Kind of like watching Bob Ross, without painting. Just a soothing voice and demeanor.
You should get one
Clawdia in that towel is me hiding from the world.
This is the kind of quality content I signed up to the internet for.
squish that cat! squish that cat! squish that cat!
I love it when he says 'squish that cat'!
"Let's pretend that she's a dangerous cat." But obviously, Claudia is not good at pretending. She's just a sweetheart.
Poor Clawdia- she's like, but Im not a bad cat, I don't need the towel!
She's so relaxed for such a young little girl! Pirate has taught her well
(And for the record I think you should definitely make a purrito vid just for the cute factor)
Stephanie Rideout me tooooo
Today was Not a great day for me until I got that notification
Hope today is a better day. :)
lol Clawdia getting her claws trimmed :) ❤️❤️
Now she's just, dia.
I wish I could like this comment twice. Well done!
@@HelpfulVancouverVet Thank you, father.
It normally takes 2 people, 2 pairs of socks (to put on the free paws to avoid scratching), a handful of valeriana root and 2 bags of cat treats for the action to take place. Clawdia is an angel, Mimi turns into an angry devil cat the minute she sees the clippers or you try to get her in the shower
I trimmed my cat's nails while he was asleep 😂 he didn't even notice
Would love to hear your input about cat treats. Is it considered junk food? My cats will sometimes meow like crazy for treats...and l fear giving them too much....how much is too much...what brands/ingredients pose potential health issues down the road for them,etc...Thank you!! Love your channel. Straight to the point, without all that gimmicky stuff👌💕
I found our cat was quite addicted to Temptations. Even though we only have him a couple a day it seemed to be the only thing he thought about. He'd constantly bring us over to the treat box and hang around it. We switched to greenies and they seem to be less addictive. He doesn't hang around them all day, still likes them but doesn't preocuppy his every waking moment. I think greenies aren't as 'junky' as Temptations but in not sure.
Generally speaking, anything in moderation is fine. Chocolate cake and ice cream are not at all healthy but I most certainly eat them regularly ;-). I think the same applies to treats. If it is not a daily thing amount you give is modest, you can treat them with whatever you want. I will say that I think greenies are healthy and temptations are not. I gave Mr. P some temptations and he immediately went off to drink water. I immediately threw the rest of the bag in the garbage since cats get salt addicted and this seemed like obvious evidence that they are very salty. I believe this so consistent with what mightymittens shared with us, and what I’ve seen in my patient cats.
Great comments about treats. I hadn't considered the salt, but why should cats be different than hoomans+salt?? Something I do when giving treats is to make my cats "work" -- I toss treats so kitties have to chase them down before they get a snack. It helps to slow them down and (for the baby) wear them out a bit. I've seen toys where you hide the treat and kitties have to dig for them. Maybe I'm justifying snacks for cats, but.... :-)
I don't know what country you're in...but there's a brand by a chef called Pete Evans here in Aus that has no corn or wheat...which is what makes up thr majority of treats I've found in supermarkets...which I keep away from now. My cat is a lot happier, shinier and fitter looking since moving away from food with unnecessary fillers :)
@@mightymittens I should try that out!
That's a really cool sleeve
I'm surprised more people haven't commented about it yet
cool, like drawing a tash on the mona lisa. i am sure she is lovely, but ink is not my thing.
@@BigRagingPanda right it looks sick
@@Touay. TBH I don't like tattoos either I just thought the design was really cool
Claudia is such a good patient.
Clawdia being “difficult” is the cutest. And the way she looks up at you! 😻
Clawdia is massively mellow here. Yes, I do find this very useful.
claudia's "I don't give two pedigrees" face
Queen Clawdia did so well as your assistant.
Clawdia is so lovely, I can see she's uncomfortable or a bit scared in this video but she's so cooperative anyway!
my god Clawdia is an angel !
Awwwwwww Claudia's little peek is so cute
What if the cat has had a bad (too short) nail clipping before? How do you regain the cat’s trust that you won’t trim their claws too short?🤔🤔
It'll probably take them about a decade to forgive you, but all you can do is just create lots of positive experiences around nail trimming.
hm ok🤔😅 Do you think the trauma is connected to the person responsible for the trimming; would it help to have someone else the cat trusts do the trimming? Or is trimming simply traumatic for the kitty now?
Helpful Vancouver Vet UPDATE!!!! My fur ball let me trim all of his claws!! Even before the incident with the short trimming he would never let me trim the claws on his back paws🤯 I did the one-man-trim-method thing you demonstrated and after three claws trimmed he just relaxed and actually started to purr😍😍 fluffy tummy and everything😂😂
@@AnataWaBakada1 When I got my kitty (as a rescue) she went absolutely bonkers if anyone wanted to try to trim her nails. It was a nightmare. And, unfortunately, 1x I had cut 1 too short :'''''( . Anyway, for about a year or so it was just really, really hard to have her trust me (the too short time was really a first, and hopefully a last!). At about 2 years in my home with me she became more trusting. She's been with me for about 4 years, and it's gotten a lot easier. She still doesn't like me to do her right paw, and her hind claws. So, I do what I can in the least stressful possible way for us both. I will add that she has phobias from her previous locale, and I live a very quiet life...which may have helped her cope. (My previous cat would just lay there and purr when I clipped his nails! It was his salon time ;-) ). Not sure if this helps.
I am so very happy to hear that! Also to hear that fluffy tummy was appreciated appropriately.
I could really use information about handling a very scared cat who probably has bad experiences with humans. I volunteer at this organization that takes in cats from various unpleasant situations and sometimes I'm at a loss with these scared kitties. I would really like to know for example, how to fish a cat out of their hiding hole and put her inside a carrier without getting injured myself and without traumatizing the cat too much. Many of these cats are so scared they won't come out even with the yummiest treats. I would prefer to avoid using the thick leather handling gloves as they can be so scary to the cats. Also I'd like to know how to make sure they are eating and drinking and how to make their stay at the shelter as stress free as possible. And how to make them believe we are not going to hurt them and that humans can be very nice. It's hard to find new homes for cats that scratch, bite and hiss at people! Sadly I can't take any of them in as fosters because I have a small apartment with two cats of my own. I know socializing cats require consistency but as I only visit them once a week it's quite hard to provide them that. There are of course other people there too every day but sometimes they don't have time to socialize because there are so many duties to perform.
Sounds like you are looking for some serious training. I would talk with the shelter administrator about bringing in a cat handling expert to do a day course with all the staff and volunteers. My schedule might have some openings in spring ;-).
In the meantime time, start with squishing using towels (you know which video to refer to!) until you really get what I am trying to demonstrate in that video, and ethen build your comfort level with ocontrary cats from there. Once you know you can restrain them, working with dangerous cats becomes far less stressful.
@@HelpfulVancouverVet Thank you so much for the answer! I will ask the employees if something like that is available for us. love all these videos!
Thank you so much for the work you do, and for your caring heart.
Jade, thank you so much for the work that you’re doing with this shelter. It seems like some of the cats at your shelter might be rather be community cats. Does your community have a TNR program?
Check out these Kitten Lady videos - one is kind of lighthearted, and the other is passionate. Good luck with the cats you’re working with.

I have in the past used a laser toy to draw a cat out and into a carrier. You have to be quick with the closing of the door and it doesn't always work if they're super stressed, but it can sometimes work and sometimes is better than nothing. Calming diffusers/sprays can sometimes help too, Feliway or Sentry are some of the best I've used that use pheromones.
I’m so lucky..all 3 of mine (including the former feral) just take their “kitty pedicures” in stride. I use brushing as a reward which has worked with my cats well...especially when they hit geriatric status and are not so food motivated. I’m not a full on cat whisperer though...I did have one who used to be sure I was going to kill him whenever the clippers came out (that towel technique worked well). I wish I lived near your office...your clients and patients are lucky to have you as their vet!
Oh Clawdia, beautiful soft cat ~
SQUISHE LE CATTE!
FETCHEZ LA VACHE! Oh wait...
Oh hey! I went to elementary school with Sarah! We were kind of mean to each other in 3rd grade and haven't kept in touch, but it's cool to see her here helping out with this clinic. Sarah, if you see this - it's Phoebe. Hope you're doing well! :)
Also, cool tats
Clawdia is so well behaved
Claudia is the calmest cat I've ever seen, such a sweetheart!
Clawdia is just the sweetest. I have to trim my cat's nails when he's sleeping. I can get a few done. I've found human nail clippers to be the best.
Of course, remember to only trim the tips of the nails. DO NOT CUT THE QUICK (pink part), THEY WILL BLEED.
Clawdia is getting a very professional pawdicure 👌😸
*Professional Cat Squisher*
I noticed that all the cats in your videos are very calm. Can you do some videos featuring startled and scared cats?
You have the most docile cats I've ever seen. I think that your presence & voice have a way of anesthetizing them. ;-)
Clawdia is so very sweet & Mr Pirate is a sweetheart as well. I could watch them all day long. Thank you for the wonderful advice that you generously share.
Clawdia's like "uh dad, do we really need to do this?" What a great sport she is! Beautiful cat!
"Let's just pretend this is a super aggressive cat." ❤️
Clawdia and Sarah are both lovely 😍
“Squish this cat!” The squisher and the trimmer. That’s what it’s all about. I just need an assistant now. Claudia is adorable. 😻
CLAUDIA IS SO CUTE
Clawdia is such a good sport ❤️
I don't even have a cat but I love seeing how cuuuttee Clawdia is. I'm a dude and I melt at this cat
Clawdia, you're a total heartbreaker, you know that, don't you?
Clawdia is such a good girl!
Calm is not the word I would use to describe Claudia, perhaps Angelic is better suited!
I was searching for cat vids and I opened one of yours I whatched more and more of ur vids and I found them really helpful. I subscribed to u. Thank u for the amazing info. :D
Claudia is just the best
Aww! Squish the cat, it works so well! I love you guys and Claudia is the best. Thank you for making this video, it is really helpful 👍🐈
You're so kind and gentle.
I love your videos! I hope your work will reach more people soon!
Clawdia is very cute!
Awe, always happy to see your cats Dr. Uri. I wish I could bring my cat to your clinic.
That cat is absolutely adorable
I ❤️ Clawdia! Great video. And Sarah’s ink is awesome! :)
Thanks for your videos! It's awesome how gently you treat the cats and how calm your voice is.
Keep on doing those videos (pleeeeasseeeee)
Greetings from Germany :)
You are absotively awesome. HUGS and blessings. I can see and hear the caregiver in you. You are awesomeness. Ty for sharing your ability and advice with us. Anyone who is lucky to have you as their veterinarian is blessed. HUGS from a new UA-camr subscriber. Happy St. Patrick's day 🐾👍🔥🍀
This is such a wholesome channel I love it.
Clawdia is the sweetest thing, I don't know why Mr. Pirate gets all the attention
That cat is super relaxed, just look at her eyes.
I recently found this channel and from one cat guy to another,
big respect for how fond your cats are of you 10/10.
and im happy to finally see someone do the double thumb forehead squish,
people call me crazy when i tell em cats love it
I really like how you hold the leg. One of my cats, Tux, often tries to bring his arm back. Thanks for the tip!
I enjoy watching these videos, telling myself that I'll get a cat in February, after the holiday season calms down
Aww Clawdia blinked at us
I've been watching your videos for a good while now, and they're all so helpful while also being entertaining 😸❤️ Congrats on 100k!
clawdia is such a lovely little lady
I just found this channel and it’s amazing! Thank you so much for doing these. They’re so educational and helpful ^_^
Animals definitely feed off of the energy of their humans. Your cats are so chill because you are chill. :)
P.S. I love Mr Pirate but Clawdia is my favorite (don't tell him) :*
LOOK AT THAT FACE! LOOK AT IT! Clawdia is seriously the cutest! Also my moms cat hates getting her nails trimmed and it’s always a hassle so this video will help her tremendously.
This guy is so wholesome
Great video once again! Love seeing new videos from you in my feed
clawdia is a sweetheart
Wow, so close to 100k 🎉 Congratulations - very informative videos!
Doc, you are a blessing, I love your content!
Claudia is like, OMG, I'm surrounded!
my cat of 15+ years passed away a few months ago and i haven't been emotionally ready to adopt a new one just yet, but your videos do wonders to fill that "cute, well-loved" kitty void in my heart! thank you for sharing all of this information and your lovely cats!
I don't trim my cat's nails for the moment but that video will be super useful in the future as mycats don't really like those kinds of procedures.
By the way, Sarah you've got WONDERFUL tattoos!
Clawdia is so pretty!!!!
If nobody says It I will.
That is a very very cute cat!
I have that exact trimmer! I always do it alone because my parents are afraid to hurt the cats but these are great tips, thank you!!
Very helpful, thank you so much!
I love watching your videos! And your kitty is so gorgeous!
Happy New Year! Great video (as always).
I actually tried your one person technique with the cat sitting on my knee and amazingly it worked! She grumbled and growled gently but she let me do it! I gave her treats and fusses after to reinforce the good behaviour. Just wanted to say thanks!
I lovee the tattoo sleeve of your assistent, its really pretty.
Clawdia is adorable, but I didn't realize until this video that the reason I find her especially adorable is due to the fact that she is my cat's doppelganger (except mine has brown instead of black colouring and blue instead of green eyes). She gives me the exact look at 1:46 when I squish her.
Great instructional video.
What a great assistant!
great demonstration and major girl crush on your assistant! love her tattooss
you are brilliant with cats
Thank you for clawperating
We love Clawdia!
thank you so much ! love your channel !
I love this channel
You are so kind to help us! Been using squish squish he cat for administering hairball remedy, very helpful. Would you show how You would clip nails of a fractious cat? Your energy speaks volumes. I have a cat with ingrown nail.
i missed you claudia and dr uri!!!
Kitty, is so relax and cool 💚
I turned on notifications earlier today and I’m so glad I did
Claudia is such a good girl, my cat makes such a fuss 😅
i wish my cat was chill as clawdia with nail triming
