It’s important to give special attention to your kitten’s claws!
They are a crucial part of their little bodies: they help with balance and mobility. Plus, scratching is a way to mark territory and defend themselves in dangerous situations. It’s essential to trim their nails regularly, and it’s important to get them used to the process while they’re still kittens so they understand what’s happening in a friendly way.
The layer of keratin covering the cat’s nail is the only part that should be trimmed, and it must be done carefully with nail clippers, as it’s very close to the dermis, where the nail’s nerve endings are located. If you’re not comfortable, ask your vet for help.
