1step2far Mar 2018 12:22pm, 31 Mar 2018 2,822 posts	0 1step2far Random question, Lennox is being kept indoors until we work out if she's been spayed or not. My friend who has several house cats says i'll need to trim her claws? I'm still doing a daily battle with ear drops... the thought of a moggy pedicure fills me with dread. Does anyone do this, manage it?

Bintmcskint Mar 2018 5:13pm, 31 Mar 2018 39,760 posts	0 Bintmcskint I used to have to wait until Maximus was asleep. Really, REALLY, deeply asleep and then do as many as I could with my nail clippers before he woke up. Bonnie does her own using a combination of scratch post, rugs and, weirdly, biting her nails.
1step2far Mar 2018 6:14pm, 31 Mar 2018 2,824 posts	0 1step2far Thanks... will check out youtube. She does have a cmscratching post which she does use. She is not going to like this. Although she no longer struggles, I am guilt tripped everytime I put the ear drops in. She cowers from me for an hour or so after. 😳
