Deadly Cleavers


“Heartbeat racing…pupils dilated…gasping for breath…fighting for my last ounce of life…struggling…twisting…turning…trying to leap…caught in the vice of the monster…HELLLLPPP MEEEE!!”


“Oh, for Heaven’s sake, Brazil, I’m just trimming your claws. Hold still.”

  1. Turned into a blood bath, huh. The cat always comes out unscathed, but the human, that's another story. Hope you have bandaids.

    1. No, no blood. My cats have been kind to me in that way. But I was sweating streams and exhausted.

  2. Ha! I've only ever had the four cats and every single one of them had the same reaction. 🙄😆

  4. True things are said in jest! Brazil has obviously been in consultation with my Pete - They have the same reaction to claw trimming.

  6. I don't think there's ever been a time when I trimmed cat claws where they didn't make me feel like Jack the Ripper.

  7. I never had too much trouble with the kitty claws, but MJF (our first dog), was a holy terror when I needed to trim his nails. I actually had to put a muzzle on him, and sit on the floor to coral him between my legs, LOL! He just never got used to that even in his almost 16 years! Thankfully our two doggies now don't react that way, even though I can tell they hate that procedure.
