A rough guide to cat maintainance

For a long time, Boxer’s claws have been too long. This is because he is a house cat and choses to ignore the scratching post that we so nicely bought him. We’ve been meaning for a while to contact the vet to have them cut, but decided today that we’d save a bit of money and do the job ourselves. Here’s some instructions for those of you who might like to do the same:

    • Lay out towel on the sofa
    • Place cat on towel
    • Fold towel over cat to restrain him
    • Put plaster on scratch wound & retrieve cat from windowsill
    • Place cat on towel
    • Throw out shredded towel
    • Rugby tackle cat and keep him in a headlock while you’re partner clips claws using pliers.
    • Apply antiseptic to underarm
    • Retrieve cat from light fitting
    • Entice cat back onto sofa with whiskas treats
    • leap from behind sofa landing on cat
    • Instruct your partner to clip the claws from the limbs protruding from underneath you
    • Release cat
    • Seek medical advice regarding deep chest wounds
    • Use the vet in future

        I can sympathise Rob – It takes two of us to trim the nails on my nieces dwarf rabbit and that normally goes along the lines of clipping any protruding limb available :]
        The vets is the conclusion I recently came to as well!

        Dogga: Rabbit’s are worse. I use to have one that I regularly clipped. I still wake up in the night screaming.

        Robocop: I assume you intended to comment on Fun Monday. You’d probably find it more achievable if you use a plane, as I intend to. lol
