One person holds the cat while the other holds its paw and trims the nails. Another way that can occasionally work is to wait until your cat is asleep or very relaxed and gently clip its nails. It helps if you get them used to handling their paws, and treats always facilitate getting comfortable with paw handling and nail clipping.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the quick?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The quick is the part of a cat&#8217;s nail that includes blood vessels and nerve endings, meaning it can cause them pain if you accidentally snip it. You should be able to see the quick as a pink area when protruding the claw. We recommend clipping with a good light source behind your cat so you can easily spot the quick and avoid cutting it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to Look For To find the top cat clippers on the market, we considered a few characteristics.
