Why is it important to clip your cat’s claws?
If your cat spends most of his time outside then his claws will wear down naturally.
House cats and elderly cats may need to have their claws clipped regularly to prevent them growing inwards into the pads and causing pain and possible infection.
It is a natural part of cat behaviour to want to scratch, so supply them with a good quality scratching post.
Check your cat’s claws every few weeks.
If you intend to clip the claws yourself it is important that you learn how to do this correctly to avoid causing any pain or bleeding.
If in doubt then take your cat to a qualified vet.
