Got a new cat. I realized I have no idea how to trim his nails by myself, in the past there's always been another person in the house to assist.
Maybe in the future after he's more accustomed to me we I could work with him, but right now he's 5 points of sharp whenever I try and grab him. I really wish the shelter had clipped them before they let me bring him home. He's clawing stuff but I know it's hardly his fault because his nails are fucking talons, and I can't even have him on my lap either.
I want to get close to him, but that's not gonna happen unless his nails get trimmed. and I can't trim the nails unless I'm close to him.
help?

Get him a designated scratching post/thing and you won't have to worry about it, hopefully. My cat's got one and I've never had to go anywhere near his claws desu

I like the markings on his face, they're really cute!
you can wrap him in a towel and force him, or grooming parlors and vets will trim them.
I train my kitties by playing with their paws until they're comfortable with it. give treats during and after. it takes a little time this way though.

I got one of those cardboard ones, but he doesn't give a fuck about it.

yeah, I'd like to get him comfortable with it, but since I just got him I don't think we have that level of trust yet. I made a vet's appointment anyway just to get him checked up and stuff, so I'll ask if they can do it then.

They prefer actual wood.
Find a piece of log/telephone pole.

That's a big cat.

Feed it benadryl or a piece of a benzo, wait for it to pass out, then make your attack

Just get it declawed. No need to worry about trimming nails ever again

I am going to have your fingers removed so you can no longer shitpost.

>implying declawing is anything like removing someone's fingers

>>2220526
Yeah, but it's an elective procedure that will cut down on how much I'm annoyed by your existence, at minimal impact to you.

Anatomically, it is exactly like removing a person's fingers up to the knuckles.

Just scruff the cat and trim his nails. You can use a regular nail clipper. Face the clippers sideways to align with the grain of the nail.

One week ago I adopted this cat. Must be sister of yours.
