Cats sharpen their claws all their lives - this way they get rid of the dead layers of the claw, which cause discomfort. Today, there are many ways to deal with this problem.
Instructions
Step 1
Claw trimming
Trimming your nails will save you 2-3 weeks from the problem. However, this procedure will require a certain skill and skills, especially since not every cat is willing to resignedly endure this procedure. If the cat's claws are devoid of pigment, a small blood vessel inside can be seen. When trimming a claw, care must be taken to cut off only its tip so as not to touch this vessel. In the presence of pigment, great care must be taken to trim the very tip of the claw. It should be remembered that the absence of claws will not change the habits of your pet, and he will just as rapidly "take off" on the balcony railing, but at the same time he will have nothing to catch on, so be careful - always close the windows.
Step 2
Scratching post
The most wonderful way to show your love for your pet is to let him do what he wants.
You can purchase a scratching post and a vertical scratching post. To attract your pet's attention, you can rub the scratching post with catnip.
Step 3
"Soft claws"
"Soft claws" is an invention of veterinarians, which is a small screw cap that is attached to your pet's claws. The claws do not interfere with either the animal or the owners at all.
