They make these plastic caps that blunt kitty's claws, if you need to take the scratch out of a cat. say, for human safety during socializing lessons.
I'm gonna lose a limb just trying to get those onto my cats murder mitts.
If the cat is that fierce I think it's time to talk to a vet anyway.
If your cat hasn't drawn your blood, is it even your cat?
My Izzy is a very sweet cat, she has never scratched me. Her style is to cuddle to death.
I have had two very loving darlings and one satanic shitbeast.
Guess which one has not drawn blood.
They have razors on their feet. It happens .
I have two cats, littermates. One will almost never scratch you, usually happens if play gets too vigorous and he forgets. The other will lightly scratch you just to get your attention, and will dig his claws into your lap if he's enjoying petting too much. I love them both, even when they are being pains in the ass.
It's also super easy to clip a cats nails every other week. I have two cats and have fostered others, and I've clipped them all to keep the nails short and dull.
I nip my cat's back nails, not to shorten or blunt them but to encourage them to shed. She picks her post with her front claws and keeps them healthy, but she doesn't really use her back nails for much so they don't shed naturally and they get thick and crusty and dirty. Nipping just the tip of them encourages the outer layers to crack and shed. Izzy's pretty sweet about it too, she's okay with me handling her feet for a little bit but if she gets tired of it she'll just try to put her feet in her pocket.
