It’s claw-trimming time again at the Cosy Cabin. I am fortunate in that I am able to cut the claws of seven of the eight cats living with me (Sable being the exception). There is resistance - squirming, fidgeting, twisting - but nothing serious; certainly no cat enjoys it. But I can accomplish the task.
First up was Millie. I had to pause between cutting the claws of the different paws, as it was too much for her patience. She became rather growly after each paw was finished. In fact, when I completed the first paw, she walked away in a huff, then turned, came back and slapped my hand.
Maybe they’ll appreciate me more when they move out, get jobs and places of their own…
Furry freeloaders!
ReplyDeleteHehehe...
It's usually a fun time here too!
ReplyDelete"Yeah, kids, just wait till you have to trim your own claws..."
ReplyDeleteI can sympathize. My cats hate getting their nails cut, but with exception of Pete, they will tolerate it. It takes me 4 days to cut Pete's claws as he'll let me do only one paw a day.
ReplyDeleteeye dee spize gettin me nailz trimmed …tho eye due get a reel for sure toona treet when they bee finished…with thanx ta fancy feast for de pouchez‼️🐟😸
ReplyDeleteWell I see she expressed her displeasure with a whap from her trimmed toenail paw. Precious had hers done this week, and it is a 2 person job with lots of mouthing off.
ReplyDeleteI laughed at Millie's reaction. All of mine put up such a fuss that you'd think I was injuring them. 🙄
ReplyDeleteKatie and I are sitting here at the MAC reading this and I am hee-hawing over that last line!!!!! Her? No. Sorry little beast loved your trouble!
ReplyDeleteMillie made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteUsa pups HATE that torture, too.
ReplyDeleteMillie is too funny!
Yep, they need to be out there trying to pay for their own claw trims at the vet before they will understand and quit giving you grief.
