how long should i wait in between nail cuttings with my kitten?

Answer 1

I do all our cats nails twice a month. If I wait longer the points get too sharp and will start ripping furniture again.

Be careful not to cut too deep or you'll hit the vein and cause a lot of pain as well as bleeding. Cornstarch is a good coagulator, but the nail will hurt them for days, so be cautious.

Answer 2

Mine seems to grow really fast, so it's often 4-6 weeks between each trimming. When he starts using his scratching post more and gets a little more rough with his nails, it's time.

Answer 3

Cats naturally like to scratch things, and this wears down thier nails. Get a nice scratching post (bonus dividend: Kitty won't tear up the furniture..as much...) and let nature take it's course.

Answer 4

Kitty nails like your nails can grow at different rates. I always know when it's "time" when kitty comes to knead in my lap and I say "Ouch!". It may be just one nail that needs to be trimmed down.

Answer 5

About once a month as a routine. Do it the same day before you apply a flea repellent such as Frontline Plus.

Answer 6

When you feel his/her claws cutting into you while sitting on your lap, it's time to do it again. Trim only the outer part. Cat claws are sensitive beyond that.

Answer 7

I trim my fuzzies about every ten days, not every nail needs clipping, but just the hook part

Answer 8

You should never cut your cat's claws! Never!
You need to get scratching posts for your cat.

Answer 9

well if you want to make sure she is helthy i would do it every 4 weeks :))
take care
