Do you own a cat? If so, you may be familiar with various tasks that are part of your cat’s daily care and wellness. One such task is checking to make sure the nails or claws of your cat are trimmed routinely. If you’re not sure how to trim your shorthair’s claws, simply take her to the vet or to a local groomer. If you want to learn, ask your vet to show you how. One of the biggest mistakes in claw trimming is cutting too close to the quick of the nail. The quick of a cat’s claws is where a blood vein runs and if cut it could bleed. If this happens, immediately compress the wound and apply styptic powder or a mixture of corn starch and baking soda to stop the bleeding. Always call your vet for assistance as well.
